Loving this floppy hat from Forever 21! I must say, it looks just as nice as some of the more expensive one out there.

Poppy Red

Hi Ladies! Excuse the mess in the background ( this is what happens when I decide to "sift" through my closets)! :) The outfit, on its own, is pretty basic, but by adding a pop of color ( any bright color, really), and some nude heels, you're taking a casual day look up a notch ;) Don't forget to add a red lip if you dare ;)

My Daily Makeup Favorites

Ok ladies! Here are the makeup products I use on a daily basis for a natural, pretty, sun kissed look:)

Face Bronzer
Face Blush

I've placed them in order of how I apply them to my face (from left to right). I interchange my blushes between MAC "warm soul" and Nars "orgasm", since they both create a pretty and natural, blushed cheek. As for lips, my current favorite is YSL Rouge Volupte in "ultimate beige", which is not too much darker than my natural lip color. Its a little pricy but the packaging and mango scent is worth it! Nars Lip Gloss in "orgasm" has been a continued staple for quite a few years now. Its a great topper to almost any color, or is great just worn on its own as well. For a healthy glow and contouring, I've been using Victoria's Secret Mega Glow Bronzer (which is no longer available unfortunately). As an alternative, Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Bronzer is fabulous, and gives a beautiful, natural glow as well! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Urban Decay's Naked 2 eye palette! The colors I use the most are "half baked", "bootycall", "tease", and "snakebite". This set is all you need to create anything from natural to smoldering ;) If you are needing your makeup to last longer without creasing, I would recommend a face primer prior to putting on your makeup, but after you apply moisturizer. I like VS Pro Airbrush FX Perfecting Primer SPF 20. Another trick is to spritz the entire face with a setting spray, such as Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.

I'd love t hear what you ladies think and love! What are your faves?!

Purple Reign

Both dresses are from Bebe! The one on the left is super comfortable, and the beautiful dress on the right makes me think of butterfly wings (both are found here and here)! Shoes: Bebe (here). Now, if only I had an event to go too...;)
