My mom’s friend gave me this beautiful necklace as a gift. We’re both artists and the colors reminded her of me. I love the fact that it’s handmade - it’s like I’m wearing a little piece of art.

I’m so sorry this post is a little late (or rather the photo). I painted my nails about a week ago and never took a picture until now. I got the design idea from cutepolish on YouTube. Here are the colors I used:

Hook and Line by China Glaze (Limited Edition from The Hunger Games collection)
Moody Blues by Ulta
Sun-Sational by Ulta
(no top coat was used)

I was pretty surprised that I was able to create straight lines on both hands without the use of a dotting tool or special brushes. I really liked wearing this design but I think the next time I paint my nails it’ll just be one color.

Less is More

It seems as if the temperatures are going nowhere but up. Throughout the day, I would wipe the areas around my nose and forehead to rid of sweat. When I did this, I would also wipe away any makeup in those areas. I would come home with smeared eyeliner and a slightly oily complexion. Every day I spend about 15 minutes doing my makeup and it just seems like that time and effort went to waste. But I recently saw pictures of Emma Stone with simple and beautiful makeup that really drew attention to her eyes. In an attempt to copy her look, I discovered that less is truly more when it comes to makeup.

My Everyday Makeup:
I start off with sunscreen and a primer. Protection is super important, not just in the summer, but all year long. I then use a light foundation around my nose, under my eyes, and on my chin. Next I use a concealer for any blemishes and also under my eyes. Using a translucent powder, I dust it only over the places I applied makeup. I then fill in my eyebrows with a light hand and use a white eyeliner under my brows and in the inner corners of my eyes. Next I take an angled eye-liner brush and a cream liner to line my eyes halfway because my eyes are smaller than Emma’s (Emma Stone uses liquid liner). I apply a waterproof mascara, just enough to make my lashes a little darker. Taking a berry colored blush, I apply it lightly to the apples of my cheeks. And last but not least, I apply a pinky-nude lipstick. And that’s it! Super simple! Since I cut out all the different eye shadows I used to wear, I save a lot of time. I really like the look of a bare lid and my eyeliner no longer smudges. What’s your summer makeup routine?

Here’s my first look for you all! This past weekend I attended a wedding and this was my outfit. These items are a little pricier than what I usually pay, but I don’t mind spending a few extra bucks for something nice. I got the dress while I was in NYC. I absolutely love the criss-cross design on the shoulder and the noticeable side zipper (not pictured) and the green accessories add a nice pop to the black and white.

One Shoulder Polka-dot Dress: Material Girl at Macy’s (~~$48.00~~ $28.80)

Green Shoes: xhilaration’s “Sommer” at Target ($24.99)
