Coach & Sephora Collection Just Dropped The Most Fun Makeup Collab Of 2021

For those of us who grew up in the early-aughts, one of our first big designer bags was from Coach. Maybe you even borrowed your mom’s vintage carryalls from the ’90s. We’ve pretty much grown up with the brand. After a blip where there wasn’t a ton of newness, Coach is coming back with a vengeance with on-trend clothes, bags, and now, a limited-edition Coach x Sephora Collection line.

The ultra-fun collection features Coach’s iconic motifs and mascots with Sephora Collection makeup inside. “I wanted to create something playful but also very Coach—really rooted in a rich color palette that recalls our leather heritage,” Coach creative director Stuart Vevers said in a statement. “Like a beloved bag or favorite piece of
outerwear, makeup is about creativity and style and with Sephora we were able to find another way to celebrate self-expression.”

There are seven products to choose from with eyeshadow, lip gloss, nail polish, eye masks, face palettes and brushes. The line drops March 2 and you can shop them all, below.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Sarah Hyland Is Wearing This TikTok-Famous Product At The Golden Globes

When you think of Golden Globes glam, probably super-luxe hair and makeup products come to mind. But Sarah Hyland’s Golden Globes’ beauty look for 2021 is actually really affordable. One look at her glam and you’ll realize you don’t need to spend big bucks to look red carpet-ready.

Makeup Artist Allan Avendano is responsible for Hyland’s look, using all E.L.F. Cosmetics products. “Sarah and I wanted to create a classic look that complimented her new auburn tresses,” Avendano said in a statement. “I was inspired to bring warmth and glow to this look to let her radiant skin shine with a sun-kissed complexion, a classic shimmery eye and a nude lip to highlight her features and statement red dress.”

Avendano gave his client that glowy skin with the TikTok-viral E.L.F. Camo CC Cream. Many say it’s a dupe for the It Cosmetics CC cream—maybe even better.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

He then went on to add a pop of color and highlight to the apples of her cheeks using the Bite Size Face Duo in Lychee ($3 at Ulta). For her sultry eyes, he primed with Putty Eye Primer in Rose ($5 at Ulta). He used the Mint Melt Eyeshadows in Chocolate Mint ($4 at E.L.F.) for her lids and the Mint Melt No Budge Eyeshadow Stick in Ice Cream ($5 at E.L.F.) in her inner corners.

For Hyland’s lashes, Avendano used two coats of the new Lash It Loud Mascara ($6 at E.L.F.) and added depth and definition to the brows by using Wow Brow Gel ($4 at Ulta). He finished with Sheer Slick Lipstick in Golden Pear ($5 at E.L.F.) for a warm lip.

What’s the Real Deal with Reflection Journaling?

reflection journaling

Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve journaled. At eight and nine years old, it was a pretty pink diary with a lock and key that I would fill with my thoughts and poems and then replace with a new diary when it became full. My childhood was chaotic and being able to write down all of my thoughts in a private place was a life saver for me.

As I got older, I continued to journal, but more situationally. When my young husband died in a car accident and left me and our two small boys to deal with life on our own, the counselor who I went to see recommended that I keep a journal.

This was 34 years ago, and to this day I have that journal and sometimes go back and read it. It’s hard to read but it was cathartic and got me through a very rough patch in my life.

For the past two years, I’ve incorporated reflection journaling back into my daily routine, just as when I was a little girl. Not because things are chaotic. But, because for me, journaling is a tool that provides me with great clarity as I move forward in my life. And the act of handwriting helps my brain to process and remember.

Journaling to Reflect

Journaling is a very helpful tool as we sit and reflect on life, life changes, and possible redefinitions. At 58 years old, I knew that I could not continue to do my job working with kids on the autism spectrum forever. But I also knew that I couldn’t imagine NOT doing something each day.

So, I began to write to other women like me who were wanting to redefine their life in some way and weren’t sure how to begin. I created a workbook based on my reflections, including:

  • What my ideal day, week, and month would look like.
  • The things I always wanted to do but never did and why.
  • The parts of my job/life I loved and was good at.
  • All of the ways I could possibly use my skills and enjoy moving forward.

It is important when journaling to reflect to have the right mindset and environment. Find a block of uninterrupted time – ideally, 45-60 minutes. Pour a glass of wine, cup of coffee or tea and just start writing. Don’t censor. Let the thoughts flow. This type of journaling is similar to a brain dump, so write down everything that comes to mind.

The Daily Habit of Reflection Journaling

My daily journaling is a way for me to prep for my day. Everyone’s journal prompts would look slightly different based on their lives and priorities. I pour my cup of coffee and journal daily on the following:

How Do I Feel Right in This Moment?

Am I tired? Refreshed? Excited about the day? Anxious? Then I reflect on what got me there. If it’s a good feeling, I make a note about why that might be. If it’s a bad feeling, I think about things I can do to turn it around.

What Is My Top Priority for The Day?

This will vary depending on the day, but daily priorities should always move you towards your big “why.”

What Is My Big Why?

This reminds me each day about why I do what I do. It makes me happy and can sometimes even give me butterflies in my stomach! Your big why can be anything you want it to be, but it needs to really make you excited when you think about it.

It can be monetary, but it’s often a lifestyle why. More time to travel, time with family, ability to take summers off, ability to volunteer at the animal shelter, etc. This journal entry is usually the same each day but it’s a reminder. The act of writing it down keeps it on my mind throughout my day.

Gratitude

I write down at least one thing that I’m grateful for in that moment. It can be as simple or small as the delicious creamer in my coffee. Or it can be as big as the health of my husband.

Affirmations

I write at least one affirmation each day and often it’s the same one. My current favorite is, “I am a healthy, active wife, mom, and grandmother every day.” This sets the tone for the day for me. It motivates me. Helps me go about my day with a spring in my step and a flip in my hair!

Meal Plan for the Day

This helps keep me on track rather than aimlessly wandering into the kitchen trying to figure out what to have for lunch. I think about it in the morning, write it down, and stick to it. It’s been especially helpful as I’ve been working from home during the pandemic.

What Does My Journal Look Like?

When I first started my daily journal habit, I went out and bought a pretty journal. Now, I journal in spiral notebooks. They’re easier to write in as I’m sitting in my chair with my coffee. Someone said to me, “When we journal in spiral notebooks, the ordinary becomes sacred.” So true.

Do you journal? If so, how often? What do you journal on? How long have you been doing reflection journaling? What does journaling add to your day?

The Most Pin-Worthy Beauty Looks at the 2021 Golden Globes

The Golden Globes is a strange award show. We’re almost never happy with the winners, probably because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is an entirely white group that’s pretty out of touch with today’s TV and movies. We’re also in the middle of a pandemic and the whole thing can feel kind of silly. But—and this is a big but—sometimes you need a little silly. We need a moment right now to drool over gorgeous 2021 Golden Globes beauty looks and dream of a time when we’ll be recreating them—even if just for Instagram.

So, sit back and watch hosts are Tina Fey and Amy Poehler poke fun at the night, while saving these swoon-worthy hair and makeup looks. Because stars did not come to play, whether hitting a smaller red carpet or just from home. Possibly because we’ve all been home for year, fashion is more playful and makeup looks are a lot more fun. We can also use it right now.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Amy Poehler’s blonde hair looks better than ever. Colorist Tracey Cunningham is responsible for this creamy shade. “Amy’s color is the perfect, creamy blonde and it really just accentuates her natural beauty,” Cunningham said in a statement. “I refreshed Amy’s highlights for that extra brightness and gave her a Redken Shades EQ Gloss to perfect her creamy, blonde tone and add a beautiful, shiny finish.”
