Friday Five: Last Minute Ways to Look Patriotic











Happy 4th Everyone! No matter where you go today, almost everyone will be sporting some sort of red, white, or blue. If you haven't had time to think about it, it's easy to get frustrated when trying to incorporate all three colors - the red shirt you thought you had seems to have magically disappeared from your closet and you don't own anything with an American Flag on it. Well here are some last minute ways you may be able to find helpful to complete your red, white, and blue!





Last Minute Ways to be Patriotic




1. Red Lips - If you cannot find anything red to wear, why not try it out on your lips? A quick run to the drugstore is all you need. If you're not used to the whole red lip look, I recommend going for more of tinted lip balm or butter.


2. Nail Polish - This is one of the most common ways to look a little more patriotic. Grab any red, white, and/or blue nail polish, allow yourself a little time to dry and you're good to go!


3. Blue Eyeliner - I know I have a couple of these laying around in my makeup drawer, so if you do too, add a little blue eyeliner to your water line instead of the usual black.


4. Red Bandana - Here's an easy way to incorporate some red into your look. Use a red bandana as a headband. It not only gets you your instant red, but it gets your hair out of your face!


5. Blue Denim - I'm going to safely assume that everyone owns at least some sort of blue denim. It's probably one of the easiest ways to incorporate blue into your outfit. Think about it, I think blue denim has always been the new black.







Have an amazing, fun, and safe 4th of July Weekend!

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?
