Hailey Bieber Uses a $35 Setting Powder That Shoppers Say ‘Makes Skin Look Airbrushed’—& It’s 25% Off For Black Friday

Hailey Bieber has become the face of glazed donut skin because she always has the dewiest complexion. It’s often left us wondering how she gets her skin so glowy without looking super oily. And now, thanks to one of the model’s GRWM TikToks, we have the answer: Kosas’ Cloud Set Setting Powder.

The supermodel-approved formula minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines and uneven texture. It provides “shine control, not glow control,” according to the brand, which is how you know it’s the perfect powder to use for glazed donut skin.

“This is just really for any of the areas I feel like I get a little oily, which is mostly the T-zone area,” Hailey explains in the TikTok.

The setting powder is up to 25 percent off during Kosas’ early Black Friday sale, which gives you 25 percent off of your order of $100 or more, 20 percent off of your order of $50 or more and 15 percent off of your under-$50 order. Basically, the more you shop, the more you save, so start by adding this powder that’s as low as $26 to your cart.

Plenty of shoppers agree with Hailey. “Takes out shine and minimizes pores instantly. Makes skin look airbrushed!” raved one five-star reviewer.

Not only does the sheer setting and smoothing powder help manage oil production and smooth over texture, it’s packed with nourishing ingredients that hydrate the skin and clear out congestion—sans caking and creasing. 

After application, you’ll notice your skin doesn’t feel chalky or dry. That’s because passion fruit extract hydrates and minimizes the appearance of fine lines. Meanwhile, bamboo stem extract controls oil production and Chinese peony diminishes large pores.

For a filter-like complexion, you’re going to want to sweep on the Cloud Set Setting Powder. Smooth, blurred skin is headed your way once you start. Plus, for those who can’t stand the mess that loose powder leaves behind, this formula has the natural finish of a loose powder, except in a pressed powder form that won’t wreak havoc on your vanity or sink. 

“I love this powder! It is lightweight, blurring, and sits so nicely on the skin. It does a great job of setting makeup and leaving your skin looking radiant,” wrote one shopper who calls it their “holy grail powder.

The texture is airy and buttery, while the finish is natural without being completely matte. This powder sounds like a dream and works like one, too.

“Happy to say I have finally found the right powder! I have combination skin and tend to get pretty oily at the end of the day even with powder foundation. I also have sensitive skin and this has been wonderful on my face,” wrote another five-star reviewer. “I now only use a bit of concealer with this formula and it goes a long way. Super lightweight with great coverage and minimize pores. I’m all for it!”

Well, what are you waiting for? Get your glazed donut skin on with the help of the Kosas’ Cloud Set Setting Powder.

Grief After a Loss Is Normal Until It Becomes Complicated: How Do You Tell the Difference?

Grief After a Loss Is Normal Until It Becomes Complicated

As we get older, we start losing friends and family. Sometimes we
just lose touch with them, with less visits, less phone calls, less letters.
Sometimes they fade away from life because of health conditions such as stroke
or Alzheimer’s disease. And death takes many before we are ready to say
goodbye.

We also lose pieces of our own lives – it is harder to stay in
shape, our body looks different, we may have a forced retirement, and we start
realizing there are some things we may never get to do.

Grieving Is Normal, but It Isn’t Set in Stone

It is normal to mourn, to grieve, and to begin to feel isolated as
your old familiar life and your closest friends and support group slip away.

We are all different, and we all grieve differently. Although
stages of grief have been identified, first by Kübler-Ross, and then again by
others, different people go through different stages in different orders. We
may skip a step or return to it several times.

The amount of time necessary to go through the whole process and emerge
with it integrated into your life varies from person to person. For most
people, a year is enough.

In that time, painful feelings become less sharp. We work through
depression. We find a measure of acceptance with what has happened. We may even
find a way to create meaning from the process, setting up a fund to help others
or a campaign to increase awareness of certain diseases or situations.

At the end, you will have integrated the process into your life in
a way that is more peaceful or even helpful.

But What If You Are Stuck?

Are you unable to get past some of the most painful parts of the grieving
process? Do you find yourself repeatedly asking “why” questions that have no
good answers?

  • Why didn’t I call them?
  • Why didn’t I send that letter?
  • Why didn’t somebody tell me?
  • Why did that happen to them?
  • Why couldn’t I say I loved them?

Do you grieve losing the person you thought you were, because of unplanned
retirement, loss of loved ones, diagnosis of a chronic illness that does not
respond to treatment, or by irreversible financial loss?

Are you trapped by grief instead of being able to find a way to
cope or reverse the problem? (This can be especially perilous when your doctor
does not believe you, or you have been told there is no answer, no way through.)

You may be asking “why” questions like:

  • Why did this happen to me?
  • Why are there age limits for candidates
    for that job?
  • Why didn’t I see that coming (from
    that con man)?

Those “why” questions are part of the grieving process. If you can
get past them, you are on your way to healing.

But if those questions promote pain, guilt, and anger that do not
fade, then you need to try something else.

“What” Works Better

Try replacing the “why” questions with proactive “what” questions:

  • What can I do to communicate
    better (such as keeping in touch with friends or loved ones)?
  • What can I do that says, “I love
    you”?
  • What can I do to help others?
  • What can I do to be healthier?
  • Where can I find a doctor who will
    approach my health differently?
  • What kind of job would be a better
    fit for me?
  • What can I do to create meaning
    from this tragedy (such as creating a fund, promoting legislation, or improving
    a neighborhood)?

If you just need a new way to look at these things, then those
“what” questions can get you unstuck. They can point you towards better ways to
cope and push you into healthier actions.

Diagnosis: Complicated Grief

If you have been grieving for a year, your grief is as sharp as it was at the beginning, all your thoughts revolve around a lost loved one, and you find it difficult to cope with life, you may be suffering from depression or Complicated Grief, or a combination of both.

Most of us are aware of the possibility of debilitating
depression. If you suspect yourself or someone else may be suffering from
depression, it is important that you or they get help. Counselors who
specialize in grief-associated depression can be really helpful in that regard.

But there is another way of getting stuck, which many doctors are
unaware of: Complicated Grief.

Complicated Grief is more like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) and is most successfully treated with methods that work for PTSD
patients.

If you think you or someone you know may be suffering from
Complicated Grief, you will do well to look for a specialist and consult with
them about treatment methods and options. Living with any kind of grief can be
debilitating, so it’s important to take measures that will free your mind and
help you mourn in a healthy way.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What has grief looked like in your life? Have you had an
especially hard mourning period when losing someone you were very close to? Have
you had any of those “why” questions when you learned that a friend or loved
one has died? Did you ever find yourself “stuck” in the grieving process? How
did you get through it? Please share in the comments below.

Are Negative Affirmations Blocking Your Weight Loss?

negative affirmations weight loss

Chances are if you’ve struggled with your weight, you’ve said some pretty mean and negative things to yourself over the years. Thoughts and words like…

  • I hate my body.
  • I’m fat.
  • I’m a failure.
  • No matter what I do I can’t lose weight.
  • I have no control over my eating.
  • I’m just a food addict.
  • I probably don’t even deserve to lose weight.

But did you know that every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation? Yep, the good stuff, but also the bad stuff.

Negative Affirmations

Many of us are familiar with the practice of using positive affirmations to enhance our lives. But what we don’t realize is that our negative thoughts and our negative self-talk are also affirmations.

Your body is listening to every thought you think and every word you speak. And if most of your language around your body and your food is negative, then it’s these negative thoughts and words that you are affirming, every single day.

It’s like having a vison board filled with what you DON’T want to have happen in your life. But because you’re constantly affirming these negative beliefs, they become your reality.

Changing your thoughts and words can help you lose weight.

Impact of Negative Affirmations

To emphasize how important our thoughts and words are, especially when it comes to weight loss, trying saying the negative statements from above. If these words aren’t the same words you normally say or think to yourself, substitute your own language.

  • I hate my body.
  • I’m fat.
  • I’m a failure.
  • No matter what I do I can’t lose weight.
  • I have no control over my eating.
  • I’m just a food addict.
  • I probably don’t even deserve to lose weight.

How did these negative words make you feel? Did you notice any discomfort in your body when you said them? Did any heavy emotions come up for you? Did these negative words motivate you or did they make you feel like heading for the couch with a bag of chips?

Now Let’s Switch Things Up!

Try saying the more positive phrases below, even if they don’t ring true for you right now. Say them with some passion and excitement, even if you have to fake it a bit!

  • I greatly appreciate my body and all that it does for me.
  • I am eager to experience the positive changes that are happening with my body.
  • I am successful.
  • I am worthy and deserving of a healthy body.
  • I am empowered to choose the foods that work best for me.
  • I am reaching the goals I have for my body from a place of love for myself.
  • I love that I’m feeling more in control of my food choices every day.

How did these positive words make you feel? My clients tell me they not only do feel “lighter” and more positive when they speak to themselves like this, but they are also more motivated to make changes.

Our Words Really Do Matter

Recently, a client told me by using the techniques she has learned from me that she is no longer doing any night time eating. And she had been night time eating for decades! In her words, she is no longer wanting to shove food in her face after dinner.

However, she also shared that this new behavior is not coming from the low vibe place she was in before, one that was filled with lots of deprivation and guilt and shame. She said she is now filled with the high vibe energies of optimism and appreciation for herself. Wow!

Are You Ready to Learn More?

To learn more about the power of how your words can help you lose the weight and keep it off, I warmly invite you to watch this 9-minute video:

In this fun video, you’ll gain an understanding of why our thoughts and words are so important if you’re trying to lose weight and keep it off. And if you have questions after watching the video, you’ll have the opportunity to schedule a free consultation with me to learn more.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Have you been practicing negative or positive thoughts and affirmations? How does each of these make you feel? How does your body respond to the positive and negative affirmations it hears?
