Have you lost the plot on your skincare routine? It doesn’t (and probably shouldn’t) be that complicated actually. One hill I will consistently die on is that a simple, consistent routine using quality products is truly all our skin needs.

If you aren’t sure where to begin or feel like you’ve hit a wall with your skin, try pairing back with our guide to the essentials.

Have questions? Drop a comment below, or better yet, stop by for a consultation this week. We’re always here to support you!

New season, fresh energy. Who else is feeling ready to get their beauty routine back on track?

If your hair feels a little extra dry, your skin needs a post-summer brightness boost, or your nails need a break…you’re in good company. (I am right there with you).

Fall is the sweet spot for gently restoring your foundation and recommitting to whatever self care goal helps you feel your absolute best.

Remember: there’s no wrong way to do beauty. Pick what feels good and leave the rest!

Tell us: which fall beauty goal are you focusing on first?

Ready for a storytime of how Launch party came to be?

Spoiler alert: It all started with getting laid off.

The redirection turned out to be a blessing, because it gave me the push to build something I actually believed in: a place for indie beauty, small brands, and real recommendations instead of more noise.

7 years later, here we are. Still hand-picking everything, still doing it with you all.

A win is a win.

Reapplied spf? Nailed your liner? Finished the lip balm before it vanished into the void? That’s a podium finish in my book

Which award would you win?

ICYMI: Final Friday & our Undertones Vol 4 Launch 👀

First of all, thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! From dancing on the sidewalk with Paloma to catching up with old friends and connecting with new ones, it was truly an unforgettable night.

Also, a huge thank you to Michael-Andrew Spalding, Anna Glen, Sidney Cherie Hilley, Katrina Eresman, Ash Taylor, and Kristen for allowing us to share their beautiful art for this issue! I hope everyone loved it as much as we did.

If you missed out, don’t worry, Vol. 5 is coming next Friday! One week from today, write it down!

Get ready for a fresh theme, more local talent, and that signature Launch Party vibe. Mark your calendars—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

The perfect pairing of loud + electric with soft + muted.

Cobalt and Taupe = denim and tanned skin. My favorite kind of combo.

Ft. @1999.beauty Precision Colour Pencil

What color duo should I try next?

Throw the rule book out.

Wear the sparkly eyeshadow just because. Bleach your brows on a whim. Wear the lip color you’ve been too scared to try.

Take risks. March to your own beat. Life’s more fun that way. Trust me.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years in the beauty industry, it’s that it profits off our insecurities.

Beauty was always about self-expression, not self-correction.I hope you walk into Launch Party and walk out feeling like more of yourself, not less.
