Happy Halloween loves!  This holiday has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember for equally as many reasons.  It brings back so many wonderful memories from childhood like dusky treks for oodles of chocolate, a reason to dress up in ways that would never been acceptable otherwise, a huge opportunity to get my hands on my mother's makeup as a little girl and it is the gateway to the holiday season.  Today I wanted to take the chance to highlight one classic makeup style that can be exaggerated on a fun day and night like this or elegantly worn every or any day.  The cat eye is an iconic look done so memorably by Twiggy and fabulously today by the every girl.  While it may look daunting to achieve it is actually pretty simple to pull off.  Want to know the single trick that makes it a snap?  Scotch tape.  Yes, that's all.  While I could go into a long and detailed explanation about how to do it, this nine step photo tutorial above does it perfectly.  Who knew that an office staple could be such a beauty bag must-have.  Trust me and try it.  Some other amazing products I love and use daily are linked below.  Whether your style be daring or demure these are some beautiful ways to get there.  Hope you're enjoying a wonderful start to the week!

Happy Friday! I just couldn't resist a little bit of lovely pink inspo as we all head into the weekend.  From pale shell shades to beautiful blush tones there's just something so unmistakably romantic and undeniably gorgeous about all things pink.  From feminine, flattering tops, like this little off the shoulder number, to swoonworthy bags like this one from Chloe, my favorite options always seem to be of the pink variety.  Of course, there are also shoes (these pumps), watches (like this one), accessories (adore this wallet) and makeup colors (this lip color is soooo flattering on all skin colors) that perfectly round out the pink parade.  Hope these pretties leave you feeling happily inspired…Happy Weekend!

There's something just so fabulous about the mod makeup look adorned by the decades icons that makes it still relevant today.  Bold eyes, nude lips, barley there blush and lots of fringe are the hallmarks of this quintessential look.  You might recall, I'm feeling extra inspired this week by all things vintage glam and this look and how to get it are high on my list.  To duplicate the sexy Bridget Bardot cat eye look and make it modern day ready, start with a great lid primer.  This one is perfection and trust me, your look will last all day and night.  Gently sweep a light shell or ivory based lid color over the entire lid.  I love this color by Bobbi Brown and the matte effect it gives.  Next, carefully line your upper lid with an easy to use felt tipped marker.  Stila makes a great waterproof version.  Blackest of the black is a must for the look.  A beautiful canvas is a major key to the look.  I love this foundation for its perfect soft, dewy look and the way it lasts and lasts.  A sweet swipe of sheer blush on the apples of the cheeks gives balance to the eyes and lips.  Make your pout perfect with an ultra-feminine lip color like this romantic pink.  Finish with some big bangs and lush locks and your a sixties siren.  Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

nars illuminator / sk-ii / stila shimmer duo / essie nail polish / laura mercier lip plumper / aerin / amazing grace whipped body creme / oribe hair refresher / armani 'luminous silk' foundation / bumble and bumble hair powder / nars the multiple



Styles and trends may come and go but one thing that always remains the same is the need for incredible beauty products that pamper and perform.  April is but only a few days away and springtime beauty routines are definitely what my skin craves right now.  Just like we have been slowly peeling back the layers, our skin is also ready now to shed the heavier colors and coverage and reach for sheer washes and pretty glow enhancers.  One must-have I'm coveting as we speak is this illuminator from Nars.  It's glowly, ethereal quality imparts the loveliest lit-from-within brightness to my skin.  The same effect can also be found in a stick formula via The Multiple and this Stila All-Over Shimmer Duo.  A great skincare routine is similarly essential to any makeup-optional days you may wish to enjoy.  This silkening liquid from SK-II is rich with nutrients and feeds your skin all the goodness it needs as it hydrates, refines pore size and tone, improves firmness and leaves your face with an unmistakable radiance I just love.  For the body, this luscious whipped concoction from my favorite fragrance brand smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling pillowy and baby soft everywhere.  If you've never tried it, give it a go once and I promise you'll not know how you got along without it.  Don't forget a pretty pout before you head out the door.  Some many makeup lines have really stepped it up lately with newly formulated lip colors the combine treatment, shine and color in the most silkening formulas imaginable.  This lip plumper by Laura Mercier hydrates and moisturizes my lips and smells amazing and, unlike typical lip plumping products, it gives you a cool, minty feeling with no stinging.  Ahhh, I'm so ready for those April springtime days ahead and the great results these blushing beauties will give.  You can shop all the items I'm using in the links above and below and get your glow on too.  Happy spring!

The first weekend of summer was wonderful!  Hope yours was too.  Now that beach season is here, I wanted to put together a list of my favorite melt proof products that effortlessly resist sun and surf and keeping you looking sweat proof.  Makeup needn't be fussy in order to look finished and that's especially true in summer.  Keep with the basics {a smooth canvas, a bit of color and some flirty fringe} and you'll find they're all you need.  Here are my summer makeup must-haves…

I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend!  Spring gives us so many reasons to be happy, one of which is Spring Beauty.  Today I'm sharing some of my favorite beauty essentials that are must-haves for spring.  As the seasons change, I find my product preferences seem to do the same.  With soft breezes now replacing winter's brisk wind {finally!} I'm reaching for lotions that add a subtle hint of sun-kissed color to otherwise pale arms and legs.  I've been using Jergens Natural Glow 
for less than a week now and am so thrilled with the natural looking color it gives me.  Perfect for dresses, short sleeves and sandals.

Fragrance is also something I love to switch out once the seasons change.  Warmer weather leaves me wanting a light, clean scent that carries just a hint of sweetness.  Philosophy's Fresh Cream does this via a luscious body creme as does Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh spray fragrance.  

 Stay-put power and an extra pop of color are definite job requirements of the spring beauty arsenal.  These picks carry that punch and more.  What are your faves for the season?  

 Have a lovely Monday everyone and thanks for stopping by!
