There is nothing prettier than a bright pop of color on the lips in the summer. I'm usually a natural or peach/pink lip girl the rest of the year, but in the summer as it gets warm, I turn up the heat on my lips; a pop of color it is. Urban Decay's new Revolution High-Color Lipgloss is just what I needed for some summertime hotness.
When glamour and glitter meet you get MAC's latest creation for summer: Le Disko. It has me wanting to put on my dancing shoes and head out for the weekend now! What I thought might be too over the top is actually really pretty wearable and I'm looking to buy more of the Dazzleglass shades (of course). Take a look!
Highlighting products are great makeup tools to use to bring light to your face. By bringing light to your face, you are drawing attention to your face or areas of your face. It is the opposite of contouring, actually. Highlighters bring out your features with a touch of light, luminosity and radiance. When done right, your face will glow, like lit from within and no one will know why.
Maintaining hair is a process. Doing it in the summer is an entirely different process in itself. Dealing with all of the seasons elements like the heat, humidity, surf and wind on top of all of the styling and coloring we already put our hair through on the daily takes its toll. Hair needs special care and products to maintain its shine and beauty. And if you want hair to be frizz free, full of volume, and the perfect beach wave look, then you need some special products, tools and tricks so it looks effortless. It takes work!
While it may unofficially be summer, the warm weather is here and the summer season is here. That means we are spending a lot more time outside, in the pool, ocean, lakes. etc. On top of all the hair coloring and heat styling we subject our hair too, keeping it beautiful takes extra effort in the summer. Especially if you are a blonde like me. I have been talking to experts and trying products to keep my blonde hair beautiful this summer.
You spend time trying to look your best. From hair and makeup to perfecting your smile. Picking out the right shade of lipstick to spending years in braces and all that teeth whitening to get a healthy, beautiful smile. But did you know that doing some regular daily activities like eating some of your favorite food, drinking wine, coffee and tea stain your teeth? It's simple to protect your teeth and it's actually a must! I've been protecting mine with Infinitely White.
I can't wait to head to the beach. I'm actually on my way to my favorite white sandy beach in Florida tomorrow and I'm excited to feel the sand in my toes! My beach bag is stuffed. Of course it's filled with things like a big hat, flip flops, sunglasses, a towel, and my tablet. It's also filled with some beauty essentials. Check out the summer beach beauty essentials that I tote along with me.
The ombré trend is everywhere. From hair, nails, fashion to home decor, a gradated wash of color is endlessly on trend. And it's not going anywhere soon. The ombré nail is not the easiest thing to pull off. Leave it to Sally Hansen to come up with the Insta-Ombre. Insta-Ombre is an innovative way to get an ombré nail look in just three easy steps. Think of it as an "ombre-nail-in-a-bottle."
Bobbi Brown will be launching a late summer collection next month and this one is one that has really caught my eye. Inspired by one of Bobbi's favorite destinations, Telluride, she created the products in this collection to give skin the beautiful glow that the late afternoon sun in Telluride casts on the skin. It is simply gorgeous collection of nudes that features more shades of dusk that you will want to wear out for a summer evening. It is also the perfect collection that will help you make the transition from summer to fall. The Telluride Eye Palette is a must have.
Summer is all about letting your hair down and experimenting. With so many special events, it's time to try something new with your hair. But don't wait until the last minute. Take an afternoon and try out a new hairstyle (or two) to see what works best with your outfit.
