My makeup, no matter what I was going through, did not move.
I was fighting in battle and my makeup was exactly the way I wanted it to be.
Aside from What made you fall in love with Jimmy?
my lip color is the number one thing I get asked, she says.
I wore the same lip combo the whole show, no matter what scene I’m in.
You are going to be the first to hear, she says.
But she admits it’s been overwhelming.
I don’t mean that in an arrogant way.
Not that she regrets any of it.
Despite her heartbreak, Vestal believes the experiment was for the best.
It was a wonderful experience, she adds.
I would do it again 10 times over for sure.
Glamour:Episodes are dropping and people online are voicing their opinions.
How are you taking care of your mental health right now?
Obviously, I have Autumn, and she keeps me very active.
I’m also trying to incorporate therapy back into my regimen, which is invaluable.
Autumn wasnt on the show, but shes low-key been a star.
Yes, she is.
She’s the star.
You love a Sephora trip together onTikTok.
Is she aDrunk Elephant kid?
She will be so, so, so happy that you asked me that.
Autumn is a girly girl.
She loves all things beauty, and she is a self-proclaimed Sephora kid.
She does love Drunk Elephant.
She loves Glow Recipe, all the trendy things.
A Sephora or an Ulta run is a weekly thing for us.
It’s one of our things we do for bonding.
Even if we’re not going in there to buy anything, we’re just girly girls.
She is a Sephora girlie, but she doesn’t lack manners when we’re in there.
Every time we go in there, she’s like, I can feel them looking at me.
I swear I’m not going to offend anyone or make a mess of things.
Yes, you got your heart broken, but you also spent so much time away from your daughter.
At that moment, did you feel like you were robbed of that time with her?
I’m so happy that you asked me that because I’m really wary of bringing that up.
Number one, I don’t want to be victimized by my experience.
I dont want to use [the excuse] Oh, I’m a single mom.
You should feel bad for me.
But yes, I did feel like this was time that I’ll never get back with her.
I’ve come here to try and find my person.
I willingly did that; I wanted to do that.
If he just told me earlier on.
I can be a little confrontational about my feelings, I get that.
If you’re leaning toward someone else, just let me know now.
So yes, you were right.
A lot of my fire came from that.
For anyone close to their family, spending a long time away is hard.
But you are a literal mother.
It’s honestly something I’ve dealt with Autumn’s whole life.
It just is what it is.
Mom guilt and mom-shaming is so prevalent, and youre facing it in a really public way right now.
What advice do you have for women in the same position?
Mom guilt can be crippling.
Sometimes it feels selfish to do anything that you feel like is self-serving for you.
I’m not bragging, but I never missed a moment.
I’ve been a part of every PTA meeting.
I’ve been there for every moment.
I want Autumn to grow up knowing her feelings and her wants and her needs are valid.
Because when you’re pouring from an empty cup, you don’t really have anything left to give.
How did you talk to Autumn about joiningLove Is Blind?
Ultimately, I feel good about my decision.
I know it set a good example for her.
There are a lot of self-proclaimed girls girls this season.
In your opinion, what makes a girl’s girl?
But to be a girl’s girl, it doesn’t necessarily mean you get along with all girls.
It’s just a matter of doing and saying what you feel is right.
That’s how we can condense being a girl’s girl.
Was that something that the girls had a conversation about in the beginning or did it come naturally?
Jokingly, but with the tone of seriousness, we all did set the premise in the beginning.
So we were jokingly like, Listen, we’re not ruining this over anyone’s son.
We did talk about that early on, but the friendships were so strong.
Even if it hadn’t been addressed, it was an unspoken mutual respect between everyone.
Below, Jess fromLove Is Blindshares her favorite skin care, makeup, and hair products.
My cleanser
I have very, very oily skin.
I’m always using products that revolve around that.
For morning I useSkinbetter Oxygen Infusion Wash. And then in the evenings I useCeraVe Foaming Cleanser, and I love it.
It melts my makeup off, it strips my face, but not of its natural oils.
My moisturizer
In the mornings I useSkinBetter Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment.
It’s a really good light balancing moisturizer that is good for all skin types.
In the evenings I useCicaplast by La Roche Posay.
It’s amazing and underrated.
you’re free to get it at Target.
It has saved my skin.
It’s better than any high-end nighttime moisturizer I’ve ever used.
I use tretinoin, 1%.
My eye cream
I cannot say enough good things about theSkinBetter EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Eye Cream.
It will take 10 years off your skin.
Theyre so good and great for every skin jot down.
She is the best.
It is expensive, but the stainless steel roller on it is huge.
People always think I’ve had work done on my jaw and I have not.
It’s this ice roller, I’m telling you.
I keep it in the freezer.
But I do extra lymphatic drainage on my jawline area.
When I’m telling you that is what gets the jaw snatched, everyone needs that.
For special events, I will.
My concealer that I use is theToo Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer.
I love theDIBS Beauty Desert Island Duo.
you could do so much with this.
I have all the shades.
My favorite shade is 2.5, because you could use it in any season.
Also, theHourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Sublime Flushis also a universally flattering shade.
I didn’t come up with that; that’s what they say on their website.
Autumn tells me that its very 2016 eyeliner and people are not doing that anymore.
But I do love a good winged liner.
That was theKVD BeautyTattoo Liquid Eyeliner.
I wore theAnastasia Beverly Hills bronzer in Saddle.
The one I was wearing on the show was actually theEthereal Eyes Palette.
But the shimmer that I had over top was actually Smashbox, it’s aliquid eye shadow.
Now I’m completely married to theKiss ImPress Press-On Falsies Eyelash Clusters, they’re prebonded.
They have so many: They have natural ones, they have volume ones.
It’s so innovative.
And you literally just pop them right underneath your bottom lash, no glue or anything needed.
They’re the best thing that’s ever been created.
I have them on right now.
And my mascara isYSL Beauty Lash Clash.
And once I’m done with everything, then I spray it all over again.
And my powder was theCharlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder.
But I do naturally have so much hair.
But I have one row of hand-tied hair extensions that I was wearing on the show.
They’re the same length as my natural hair.
I’ve used the same curling iron and bought it over and over again.
It’s literally just a ceramic wand from Target.
It’s byRemingtonand it’s under $30.
I buy a new one maybe every three years.
All the girls in the show have actually bought it now, fun fact.
What kind of sorcery is that?
And I’m like, Literally, it’s the Target curling iron.
I don’t know what to tell you.
Remington Shine Therapy Argan Oil & Keratin Tapered Curling Wand
Target
