Summer Makeup Products

    Makeup is an amazing tool, but often in the summer it can get hard because it is very hot and makeup can sweat off or smudge. Today I have a list of products that I will be talking about that are great for summer and water resistant. (Disclaimer: I am not advertising any of these products and these are opinions of my own.) All products and prices are linked below.

    
Products:

• Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara CVS  $5.29 
• Maybelline Color Tattoos(cream eye shadow bases)  Target $5.94
• Physician's Formula BB Cream Physician's Formula $14.35
• Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blushes Ulta $12.99 
• NYC Color Eye Liner NYC  $3.99
• EOS Lemon Drop Lip Balm Walmart $2.96

       The Maybelline Great Lash waterproof mascara is one of my personal favorites. When you apply it, it doesn't get clumpy and  it adds so much length and volume to your lashes. My favorite part is that it stays on all day long and doesn't smudge. During the summertime go light on eye shadow during the day. I recommend cream eye shadows , because they go on very smooth and creamy and they stay on the whole time if you decide to go in the pool. Also the Maybelline Color Tattoos acted as a great  base and primer if you decide to apply more eye shadow for the night.

       In the hot weather foundation could be very uncomfortable and sticky on your face, a great replacement is BB Cream. The product that I have heard great reviews is the Physician's Formula All-in-1 Beauty Cream. It has SPF, so it will protect your face from the sun. It has light coverage and a acts as a tinted moisturizer. To give your cheeks more color instead of using power blush, cream blush stays on much longer, such as the Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blushes. It makes you look more awake and ready for the day. A great way to add a pop of color to your simply makeup is, instead of black liner use a color eyeliner(such as the colors teal, purple and green) to add a fun touch to your look. My favorite liners are from NYC. Do not forget your lips, keep them moisturized. Eos's Lemon Drop Lip Balm is great for the summer, because it has SPF 15 which protects your lips from the sun, you don't want your lips to be sunburned. All these products can be purchased at the drug store for a cheap and affordable price, and they have great quality. 

       

     Below I have a video by Bethany Mota or also known as Macbarbie07 on YouTube, it's a simply waterproof drugstore makeup tutorial.

   I hope everyone enjoyed this post and maybe it helped you with choosing makeup products for summer.

Summer 2013 Outfit Ideas

    Hello everyone, today I am back with a summer 2013 outfit ideas post, because well at least in New York summer is here and its getting really hot.  If you're going to the beach, a party, or just a casual day out with friends these outfits might give you some inspiration, so let's get started. The first outfit is very patriotic, if you're from the states, this is perfect with you are going to a Fourth of July party. I am in love with this cropped tank top. It has the red and white stripes and at the top, fringes with the blue and white stars. Because the top already has a lot going on I paired it with a simply black high wasted  circle skirt.  For shoes and accessories I paired the outfits with a pair of white Converse, and an american flag mustache bracelet. 

    Maxi dresses are one of the must have summer pieces in your closet, they are so comfortable and easy to style. For outfit number two I found a gorgeous strapless maxi dress that starts out white at the top and flows out into many bright colors of flower printed chiffon. Maxi dresses are best with sandal, and also sandals are super comfortable to walk in. I just chose a pair of blue strap scandals. To accessorize I found a teal bangle with gold detailing.

     The third outfit is my go-to summer outfit, sleeveless top, shorts, and sandals or sneakers. Chiffon doesn't wrinkle and is light weight, it will keep you cooler.The top is  bright pink sleeveless and chiffon material. These shorts are super in trend this year, I have been seeing them at all the stores. They are denim light wash shorts that have lace detailing on the outside corners, so cute! For shoes, just a pair of brown strap sandals. To accessorize the look I added a pair of pearl earrings and a cream cross body bag for your belongings. Simple and easy. 

       So this concludes my Summer 2013 Outfit Ideas, I hope you enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!! 

                 Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
