fresh out of water...

Heres a fun and easy summer look!


I love this look! The dewy skin, light flush, and hint of blue makes it fun, fresh and flirty! and its super easy to do! If you look back at the fresh faced tutorial you can follow that first of just apply moisturizer (with an SPF) to your skin if you don't wear foundation.

Now From there you want to curl your eyelashes and apply your mascara, water proof on humid days is best. With a warm pink or peach blush apply to cheeks in the amount you want flushed, apples of your cheeks for a doll-like-look or emphasize your cheek bones too. 

For your eyes just add some white liner to the inner rim of your bottom last (see bright eye tutorial) anf then just add as little or much blue/turquoise liner to the outside of your eye in a cat-eye effect. This look looks better without the blue eyeliner winged but if you like it dramatic you can add it for some spice. 

Add a light pink or nude gloss and you look like a goddess who has spent her day basking in the sun and like your  lovely glow is au natural! xo

Quick Tip

Well in the past I put up another "Quick Tip" about washing your face and how hot and cold water affects the pores in your face ( you can go back and read past Quick Tips to refresh your memory) and the same rules apply to your hair, instead of pores, its cuticles.

When washing your hair you should always shampoo first and condition second, most people know this but what they don't know is the temperature to use. When shampooing it is good to have the water warm to hot because it opens up the cuticles in your hair allowing all the dirt to be washed out although just leaving it like that will leave it dry and frizzy, so next you condition.

Now when you condition use COLD water because the cold water will close up the cuticle allowing the hair to absorb and keep the moisture in your hair.

look of the day...

Miranda Kerr in this easy breezy outfit that is perfect for any traveling fashionista! The stripes are fun and add to the Nautical trend but stripes can add width and so she tops it off with a long black blazer to lengthen and slim the look. Top it off with an oversize purse and some chic black flats and your ready for any runway!
