Summer Beauty Essentials

Its currently summer where I live. Some days its hot and sunny, then humid and sticky, or thunder-storming. Here are a few items I love for this season:

The first item is the NYX Stick Blush. Since its wax based it stays on for a long period of time. Wax helps it stay in place and its super blendable! Not only is it a blush but can also be used on the lips. I like to apply it on my lips using my finger. I have it in 'Tea Rose'. Perfect for tan skin tones.

Blend it onto the cheeks using your clean finger :)
Next is this Stila liquid eyeliner. It is waterproof and smudge proof. Although I haven't tested it out in the pool or at the beach, it really is smudge proof and long lasting! The pointed felt tip is really useful when creating a cat eye look.


 The sun can be really harmful on the skin and unfortunately I'm really lazy when it comes to applying sunscreen. bareMinerals has a translucent mineral veil with SPF 25. This product can applied all over the face after you've completed your makeup. It helps protect your face from the sun and prevents oiliness.
Moisturize! This hand cream by Soap & Glory smells divine! This product is useful all year long! It has a light, sweet, and fresh scent. I bought the travel sized one so I could carry it around in my bag. :) Yes its a hand cream but I use all over my body, wherever dryness occurs. Lol. 
 What beauty products have you been loving? :) Thank you for reading my blog and enjoy your day!

Leopard

A few days ago I painted my nails. I used 'Berry Juicy" by Sally Hansen, a gold color by Color Club, 'Mint Candy Apple' by Essie, and a black nail polish pen. It only took 2 coats of the light pink for it to be opaque, such a beautiful color!

DIY Makeup Brushes Holder


Here's a super cute way to store your makeup brushes neatly. And its easy too! 

List of Materials: 
  • Vase 
  • Sand 
  • Paint and Paint Brushes (optional) 

Start by painting the vase. I chose to paint a branch of cherry blossoms. 
Next add the sand and stick your makeup brushes inside. My vase is 5" tall and 5" wide. I used 2 pounds of sand. 

Yay all done! :) There are many different colors of sand to choose from so painting the vase is not necessary. But feel free to get as created as you wish. Have a fun and safe 4th of July everyone!

:) New Nail Stuff

Yesterday, I purchased new items for my nails. I'm very excited to try them out! 


The first item is a nail tool set from H&M. It includes a small brush, dotting tool, and nail file. The tool on the very left is something I'm not familiar with. Lol I'll just play around with it until I find its purpose. The small brush is really nice. Its soft but holds its shape, not flimsy at all. It'll be used to paint stripes or french tips. The dotting tool is double-ended, one has a small ball on the tip while the other is a pointed tip. This tool will be used for small details. The polka dot print on the nail file is too adorable! :) 
I love the packaging!
Next item is also from H&M. These little gems are perfect for adding some BLING on to your nails. There are nine types of gems and all sorts of shapes and colors. The applicator does a great job at picking up the gems. The glue is a bit difficult to work with so I tend to not use it. I just place the gems on right before the polish dries and then paint a top coat over it.



Final item is a nail polish from Target. It is called 'Berry Juicy' by Sally Hansen. This color is super pretty and girly! I can't wait to use it. Hopefully, the color will be opaque. Soft pastel colors are my favorite! :) 

Thank you so much for reading my blog! Stay tuned for nail pictures using these new items! Hope you have a great day! :)

Simple and Easy Nail Design :)

Here's a quick and fun way to decorate your nails. 

Step 1: Gather all the materials. All you need are nail polishes, tape, and scissors.

 Step 2: Paint all your nails with a base color which will serve as the background color. 
Polish Used: Sinful Colors- Easy Going and the gems on my ring finger are from H&M.
 Step 3: Using different color nail polishes paint stripes onto the tape. The width of the stripes is up to you! The more colors the better :) Once the paint on the tape dries you may begin cutting out different shapes.

Step 4Place the pieces you cut onto your nails. Its best to apply the pieces with tweezers for a more precise placement. Just trim off the excess if needed.  Make sure to seal everything in with your favorite top coat. 
 

ALL DONE! Now you have beautiful nails for the summer. Enjoy and good luck!
