Beauty Update

I absolutely love this Decléor moisturizer. I had been using it for months and my skin never looked better. I ran out and was using something I found at the drugstore, but I could see a drastic difference (not in a good way), so I went back to Nordstrom and bought more of the Decléor. I also just started using NeuLash and I love it! Call me crazy, but I feel like I already see results after a few days. I used Latisse about a year ago and heard great things about NeuLash, so decided to give it a go. It’s definitely pricey, but lasts for months.

In the warmer months, I like to add blush instead of bronzer as my skin is naturally a few shades darker. I’m really loving this liquid Estée Lauder blush (in X-Pose Rose)- I use it with minimal makeup, just moisturizer and a swipe of mascara. For date night, I always use Bare Minerals “Golden Gate”.

I always have to have something on my lips, whether it’s chapstick, lipgloss or lipstick. I’ve been hooked on these Estée Lauder lipglosses in “Poppy Shock” and “Plexi Pink”ever since I got them. They look super pigmented, but they come out very subtle!

Possibly some of my favorite lipsticks to date? Bare Minerals just launched their Moxie line and I love, love, love it! I’ve been wearing “Get Ready” a lot because it’s a great everyday neutral lip color. “Live It Up” is a gorgeous red/orange shade and perfect for summer (I always put some on when I’m heading out for drinks at night) and “Never Say Never” is such a fun pink!

Favorite Dress

Ever since I cut my hair short, I’ve been playing around with different styles. I feel like I can be a bit edgier than I was with my long hair, however, I always feel like myself in a sweet feminine dress. I kept things sweet and simple in this floral dress last week when the weather was in the 80s. I started bringing all of my favorite dresses from last summer out of the back of my closet- like this one, this one, this one and this one. If it were up to me, I’d wear them everyday, all day. A few others that are currently on my wish list…

Floral Boom

I saw Chassity wearing this top while we were in Dallas and immediately asked her where she got it…and soon copied her ;) I’m obsessed with the crazy floral print all over and have already worn it numerous times- to dinner with bright red lipstick and also with high waisted white skinny jeans. I love finding inspiration from my fellow bloggers and fashionable ladies, so thanks Chassity! P.S. I’ll finally be posting the video tutorial on how to get these loose waves next week. Stay tuned!

Other fun printed tops I’m loving…
