My March Beauty Must-Haves

Every girl wants to look tan and smell good. Well, at least I want to look tan. I recently attended a few beauty events and recieved some of these goodies in my gift bags or as gifts.  For me there is nothing more important than being tan so self tanners are essential in my beauty regimen as well as a good makeup remover(who is tired of their eyelashes falling out when they take their makeup off?), some matching perfume and hand cream, and argan oil for the hair. Here are a few things I have recently been using and I highly reccomend!

1. St. Tropez Tanning Lotion – specifically created to deliver a richer, deeper tan. Infused with aloe vera and long-lasting color—simply smooth it on for an ultra-even tan. The innovative Aromaguard™ fragrance technology eliminates the tell-tale self tan aroma by a minimum of 70%. sephora.com ; $32

2. Estee Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover – This gentle, lightweight formula works quickly and gently to thoroughly remove powder eyeshadow and other eye makeup. neimanmarcus.com ; $20

3. Jergens^® Natural Glow +FIRMING Daily Moisturizer – gradually creates fabulous natural-looking color with a subtle skin-darkening complex. your local drugstore ; $9

4. Josie Maran Argan Oil – although it can be used on your skin to hydrate, I personally use it in my hair to give any split ends I may some oompf! sephora.com ; $48

5. Burberry Brit Perfume – Fresh and playful, the fragrance is a classic, green-oriental blend of lush fruits, sweet nutty essences, and soothing amber, vanilla, and Tonka bean ; sephora.com, $51

6. Burberry Brit Lotion – Burberry Brit body lotion gives a touch of moisture and fragrance for any place that needs to be softened and refreshed ; target.com ; $20

So…whaty do you all reccomend to add to my beauty routine? Always looking for suggestions!

Floral Fun!

I don’t know about you but lately, I have been feelin’ spring knocking on winter’s door. Maybe it’s just the sunshine here in NY and the fact that it’s already March but it is definitely time to start thinking spring fashion! When I think of spring I think of flowers and what better way to express this through FLORAL! I have always been afraid of floral but I am slowly starting to embrace it. Here are some FLORAL FUN pieces I stumbled upon today!

1. MICHAEL Michael Kors Dress. $195       2. H & M’s organic-cotton Hedda ballerina flats $15      3. Old Navy Floral Print Top $12       4. J. Crew Scarf $39

Trend Talk – Ombre

The Ombre Lip.

By now we are all aware that Ombre Hair is IN. How many of us have seen someone with ombre lips? I recently was at an event and spotted someone with ombre lips so of course, I had to ask them “why?” Personally I was not super attracted to the style because I think it makes someone look a little like a clown and I could just see myself walking into work and everyone staring at me. The ombre wearer told me it was the “next trend in the makeup world” but I am just not sure if this one will stick. Maybe I am just not bold enough to give it a try.

I want to know – what do you fashionistas think about Ombre Lips!?!?

 

Take The Color Plunge…

Lately I have really been getting into decorating. Maybe it was all of those trips to Ikea and pretending I have a new house to decorate? I stumbled upon this picture and I fell in love. Look at these HOT PINK WALLS! Although I am not sure I could actually go through with putting this color on my walls(and I’m not too sure my future husband would allow that), this bold wall bright screams glamour.

I’m sure must people have thought about putting bold colors on their walls but have ultimately decided to play it safe. If you are redocrating this scream think twice about those boring colors on your walls and give something new a try.

Interior Designer Jonathan Berger put together this fantastic entrance hall and he defintiely took the color plunge. The end result: a glamorous warm welcome upon the entry of this home.
