Denim fever...

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter. The weather was on our side this weekend, mother nature is finally being kind to us. The beginning of spring is always a special time of year. Flowers and trees start to show signs of life, more people are out enjoying the beautiful weather. I figured this would be the perfect weather to rock my denim button up  from Old Navy.

There is something about denim that can just jazz up even the most mundane of looks. This top from Old Navy is extremely comfortable and is a very versatile piece. I think every stylista should have some denim in her wardrobe.

Top: Old Navy

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: lolashoetique

Necklace: H&M

This weather has definitely got my spirits on high, there is nothing like the sun shining on your face while the breeze delicately touches my skin. There is no reason why you shouldn't be out enjoying this beautiful weather and look good doing it.

Maybelline's Fit me Matte + poreless foundation

Hello loves,

I am sure most of you are familiar with the Maybelline cosmetic line. Well they recently released Fit me Matte + poreless. This foundation claims to mattify & refine pores, match natural tone and have a natural seamless finish.

Personally I love the Maybelline cosmetic line, for it to be a drug store foundation it does a pretty good job. I have also tried the regular Fit Me foundation and for us OILY girls it is a NO GO! Maybelline must have heard our cry, because this matte formula is prefect. It is light weight, easy to apply, blends well and most importantly it keeps me SHINE FREE all day. This foundation also comes with a press powder (sold separately) that I have not tried, however I do have the regular fit me powder in the shade 360 that I use as a contour. This foundation retails for around $6.00.

Finished look

I can say that I am very pleased with how this foundation wears. I made sure to put it through the test of a long work day and it absolutely stood the test of time. The only two things I can say about this foundation is that I am in the shade 355 and it goes on a little red to me, also I did not see that there was any shade darker than 355. Come on Maybelline you have to give it up for the dark skin beauties too....  Besides those two issues I have nothing but good things to say about this foundation.

Fabulous makeup look in 10 minutes

In this day and age everyone wants to look their absolute best. And most women that are into make up want to have a fabulous make up look. But often times we simply don't have 30 minutes to an hour to put into having that amazing face, especially those women who are in the work field and or have children. I am going to give you a few tips on how to achieve that fabulous face in 10 minutes.

Tip#1 Envision the make up look you are going for and have the products and make up tools laid out in the area you apply your make up the night before.

Tip#2 The kiss method. Using minimal amount of products. instead of contour and adding blush, just wear blush. Don't be afraid to step outside of your make up box. If you wear a liquid foundation and set it with a powder, try using a powder foundation or a cream to powder foundation to eliminate steps

Tip#3 Skip wearing eye shadow, you can never go wrong with a neatly done eyeliner and that perfect bold lip color. This is a look that is fabulous on all women. Apply your foundation and blush, Simply apply your eyeliner technique of choice, and add your favorite bold lip color.

 

I hope these tips make putting your best face forward a little easier.
