It’s Makeup Monday and it’s the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Now is the time to take advantage of this incredible sale and buy all of your favorite makeup, beauty supplies and fragrances while they are a fraction of the cost. Makeup rarely goes on sale so here is a roundup of my favorite deals:
Sun kissed skin is one of those makeup looks that we all long for year round. When summer finally arrives, we can’t get enough of this wonderful healthy glow! Theres always the natural way to get it by spending a ton of time in the sun, don’t forget your SPF, but for those of us that shy away from the rays, I have a quick and easy way to get this fresh faced look!
This 1-step hair dryer and styler is something I had to try for myself! Anything that makes hairstyling easier is worth a try in my book. Now that my hair is a bit longer, it is easier for me to style it out on my own. Ok, so full disclosure, I have very fine hair. Even with fine hair, it took me awhile to dry my hair fully with the 1-step dryer. However, once it was dry, my hair looked smooth and had a salon-finished boost!
So, my suggestion is to use hair thickening spray at the root to add some volume. I would suggest rough drying your hair with a regular blow dryer and then go over your semi-dry hair with this salon styler for a coiffed, just out of the salon bouncy blow out!
Bronzed skin and bold coral lipstick screams summer! Small pops of color is the key to keeping your makeup fresh and alive during these hot summer months. All you will need to do is curl your lashes, add some mascara, brush on some bronzer and apply a fab coral lipstick. Trust me, you will steal the show! Here are some of my favorite show-stopping coral lipsticks:
Summer scents are the best scents! If you are anything like me, you have a few perfumes you wear during the summer months. I personally like a fresh floral scent or something that is light and can be layered with other perfumes. If you are looking for that perfect summer scent, here are some of my personal favorites!
Looking for easy summer makeup!? Haven’t been out in the sun yet or more like the sun hasn’t been out yet? lol Well it hasn’t really shown itself on the east coast anyway! Never fear, I have a great makeup solution for getting that perfect summer glow without actually being in the sun. Bronzer is back and we are using it as blush! It’s no longer just for contouring, now it’s being used to give you sun-kissed skin. It’s easy to apply and looks super natural. Give yourself a summer glow with a few swipes of bronzer on the apples of your cheek. Follow it up with a natural gloss and a fab mascara. Summer makeup should be natural, easy and effortless! Now go get that glow girl! Sun kissed skin is always in! Here are some of my favorite bronzers:
The summer “No Makeup” makeup look is what we all strive for in the warmer months. I know I do! So here is the deal…at my age, there is no more leaving the house with “No Makeup”. So, I have come up with a solution or I guess you could say it’s a compromise to getting away with wearing as little makeup as possible.
On this Makeup Monday I am so thrilled to share with you a recent gift I received for my birthday; the gift of fab makeup! What makes this gift so special?!? This bag of goodies was curated just for me by my fab friend Robin Schoen who just so happens to be an extraordinary makeup artist. This past winter, Robin and I met on the set of SOMA in Miami and we clicked instantly.
