Celebspiration: KATE BOSWORTH

Ever Since I was a thirteen year old girl with my face pressed to the tv while watching BLUE CRUSH,
I knew Kate Bosworth would be around for a long time. I just love her effortless  beauty.


 I also knew I was going to become a professional surfer too. (Didn't happen.) She has the most beautiful bone structure of anyone I have ever seen. Those cheekbones! So while no one can beat her at her own game, it cant hurt to try! Here is my Kate Bosworth inspired tutorial. The lip color was near impossible for me to get because my lips are naturally very dark and red. But I did the best I could with the colors I have! And despirte the slight difference, I REALLY loved the color that I did get. Enjoy!


(This is the photo I used as inspiration)


P.S. Has anyone else ever noticed that she has a speck of brown in her right eye? Love it!

POSH. The Smokey eye, not the Spice Girl!

Hello Hello!

You've seen it, that girl who walks into the room in a little black dress with sleek hair and dark, sultry eyes. Everyone is staring her way and she takes over the room, smiling with her defined cheekbones and perfect, pouty nude lips....

 Before you get lost in that daydream, take a look in the mirror! Because that girl is going to be YOU!

Here is a tutorial that I was very excited to make. Its POSH SMOKEY EYES with a nude cheek and lip! So timeless, so fun, so striking! 

Where do you wear your smokey eyes the most? Out to dinner, a movie date, at a club, at the supermarket?

ENJOY!

REESE'S PIECES!

Hello Loves!

I went on a spur of the moment movie date with my sister and was so happily SURPRISED with how much I adored This Means War!

The first thing I loved about it was Reese. She is BY FAR my favorite actress of all time. Classy, sweet, and super funny. And Chelsea Handler definitely added to the comedic feel. As for the two guys....I'm not sure I noticed their acting as much as their pouty lips and adorable characteristics! I had never heard of Tom Hardy, and  I was never a fan of Chris Pine but I am now fans of both! They're both ridiculously studly. The movie isn't mushy, it is hilarious and filled with action and just the right amount of romance! Good date night material.

BUT this post isn't meant to be a movie review, no! I want to talk about Reese's adorable outfits! So many little black, blue, and red dresses that were more than swoon-worthy! 

And look at those perfect little legs! 
My favorite dress was the blue one on the bottom with the red heels for sure. There was another dress I loved that was a mauve-ish/tan 3/4 length dress with black trim that she wore but I cant find it anywhere! Anyway, I just needed to share my little obsession over the classiness of Reese Witherspoon. She could pull anything off!

BEACHY HAIR EVERYWHERE!

Good Morning, Sunshine!

 Here it is, the easiest way to curl your hair for a fun, spunky, wavy style! 

A few months ago my sweet hairstylist cut three inches off of my hair and gave me bangs! It was all very exciting but I wasn't sure what styles of hair I could pull off with these new bangs! So she whipped out her curling iron that was shockingly cheap and you can get it HERE. Just $9.99! 

 
 My hair holds these curls really well and I think they will work great for everybody! 

FIRST THINGS FIRST:

I wash my hair in cold water. Not hot! The heat from the water is bad for your hair's moisture level, just like any other heat treatment.

 I start with a bit of Nexxus Humectress Luxe Ultimate Moisture Leave-In spray to detangle and soften. Then I comb it out. Get that here.

 The next product I apply to my hair is Moroccan Oil. It Smells like heaven, it protects your hair, and gives an unbelievable smoothness and shine. It's a little pricey but well worth it, and you can most likely get it from your salon, or you can buy it from third parties online from eBay, Amazon, etc. You can also find a generic brand from Sally's Beauty Supply that smells and works the same! I use the generic hairspray that goes with this.


 If time permits, let your hair air dry for a bit so it is not dripping wet anymore. This will lessen the time it takes to dry your hair and most often, it makes your hair a little softer. I know it does mine!

Once it's dry time, grab that round brush! Focus on the crown area and a LITTLE bit of the sides. However, don't get extreme with the round brushing. You don't want to look like a Bratz Doll!

After blow drying a bit, my hair is just damp. Thats when I rub a dime-sized amount of the Nexxus ProMend Split End  Binding Targeted Leave-In Treatment Creme. (What a tongue twister!) Only apply it to the areas with the most damage and keep away from roots.

Now your hair is shiny, luscious, and pampered. (And smells like a tropical vacation).

Happy Curling!

Color Me Pretty: TOO FACED Natural Eye Palette


This baby is my NEW FAVORITE! I was aching for a new palette with a good amount of bright, shimmery, daytime colors that I could put on my inner corners. I was frequently using a few of my Coastal Scents colors from the Shimmer 88 Palette, But at last, those colors have finally run out on me! So, I had an excuse to do some shopping. I got this one at my nearby Ulta. The colors are to die for! Exactly what I needed. You will definitely see a tutorial look with these colors soon. 

The Palette was 36.00 for me, which might seem a little bit up there, but its such a good quality product that Its 36.00 bucks you wont regret spending! 

My favorite thing about the palette is that you can wear these colors flawlessly however you want. But, if you are a bit new to using eyeshadow, it has step by step directions separated into categories on three cute little cards.

There are three cards for this reason; the palette is broken down into three  tiers. 

Day
Classic
&
Fashion.

I'd have to go with Silk Teddy as my favorite color, with Cocoa Puff as a close runner up. I might be a little biased with that one, because my favorite cereal is, indeed, Cocoa Puffs.

As of now, it looks like Ulta's online store is out of this palette, but be sure to go to a store if you have one close to you. If you don't, then give Sephora a try.


Buy it! Wear it! Love it!
My only complaint? I cant afford ten more Too Faced Natural Eye Palettes so that I'll never run out!
