Face of the Day: A Simple Summer Glow


Hello, Hello! Today I have for you a quick face of the day post. If you've never heard of "FOTD" short for Face of the Day (which I guess is pretty self explanatory), it's basically a list of all the makeup products you used on your face that particular day. So now if you ever see the hashtag #FOTD, you'll know exactly what it means! My makeup in general always kind of stays on the lines of a natural look. I just like to add a little bit more 'glow' in the summer.

The foundation I used is by Loreal called True Match Lumi, which is pretty lightweight but leaves a nice dewy finish. Over my concealer I added a little bit of a highlight with my MAC Prep + Prime Highlight Stick in the shade 'Radiant Rose' to really brighten up my under-eye area. I of course set everything with my MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in the shade 'Medium'. I went for a real simple eye using my Naked Basics Palette by Urban Decay, just using the lightest shade all over my lid, and the neutral shade in my crease (4th shadow in). I lightly lined my upper lash line and applied a bunch of mascara. For my cheeks I used my Sonia Kashuk bronzer/blush duo and then just added a little of my favorite highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones. I finished the look off with some of my NYX butter gloss in the shade 'Eclair' and called it a day. The only product not shown is my brow powder, which is by a brand called Kelly Baker Brows. It's a medium ash brown shade that I applied with an angled brush. Look below for pics! :)

2. I had to get something from the Alluring Aquatic Collection so I chose this lipglass in Peachstock.

3. The Enchanted One by MAC was out of stock so I chose this similar matte lipstick in Velvet Teddy.

4. I decided I needed to try the Sonia Kashuk Chic Luminosity Bronzer Blush Duo - I chose this one in the shade Glow.

June Beauty Cravings


With a new month comes new beauty cravings, at least for me. Since it is now officially June, I can now justify purchasing some of the products that I've had my eye on. Since the summer is quickly arriving, I typically tend to use tinted moisturizers or BB creams for the face, and a little more shimmer than usual on the cheeks and eyes (look for baked or mineralized). How gorgeous are the colors in that Sonia Kashuk duo below? I also keep my makeup pretty neutral with a pop of color on the nails or lips. For my hair, I want the least amount of frizz as possible, which why I will definitely check out the new Tresemme heat protective spray with Keratin. The product that most catches my eye though is the new gel eyeliner by Benefit. I've never seen anything like it - it's is like applying your gel eyeliner with a pencil! Definitely going to get my hands on that. I've also heard great things about the Too Faced Lip Injection Color Bomb. This product will be great for when I just want to throw something on my lips, but still have a natural plumped look.

What are your current beauty cravings?
