Coral Lipstick to Coral Blush

When I find something that I like, I kind of let it takeover my world, check out my obsurd collection of chiffon tops. So with it being summer and having a sunkissed glow it was no surprise that I hopped on board of the coral train. Ive got coral jewelry, coral makeup, coral shoes, coral shorts, dresses, bathing suits and nailpolish. The one thing I didnt have, however, was a great coral blush. Well I had quite the fortunate event happen last week. I was sitting in my living room and in walks my 2 year old daughter covered in mommys makeup. Instead of being mad that she used my good stuff, I was thrilled. Her cheeks (okay her whole body) was the most amazing coral shade, so I went to the bathroom to hunt down this lipstick. The color she used was Crosswires by MAC, and it is now my go to for a nice coral cheek.

When applying I just use a stipple brush and swipe across the top of the lipstick and then apply to the tops of my cheekbones in a circular motion. I hope you enjoy this handy trick!

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, one of my favorite things! This concealer is so moisturizing it will never pull on delicate skin. I sometimes like to forgo foundation all together and use this product placed strategically in a few areas and POOF! Instantly, you’ll be able to fool people into thinking that you actually got 8 hours of beauty sleep…. instead of  working, doing the laundry, cleaning the dishes, watching the Real Housewives marathon! Enjoy!

The clouds have parted and the angels are singing! Moroccan Oil is amazing!!! If you have uncontrollable frizzy hair like me, this is your remedy! All you need is a dime size amount. After showering, I let my hair dry about 30% and then apply the oil. It doesn’t make my hair heavy like most frizz control serums and most importantly, it works! You can get this at most salons near you or if you’re trying to save you moo-lah, they have the Organix Moroccan Oil line at Walgreens!

The cure to southern humidity! These little wipes are my new love. Who likes to spend an hour getting ready just to walk out side and your makeup sweats off and your hair goes flat? Nobody- that’s who! You’ll have to stay tuned to find out about the hair- but I have the sweat issue fix right here! MED e TATE wipes from DERMAdoctor.  I use these guys on my brides in the hot summer months or if my client gets shinny. The MED e TATE wipes can be alittle intense at first so I’ll warn you- use sparingly! They make the skin pretty tight at first swipe but after a little bit everything is just fine. There’s always a price though- and these magic wipes will cost you a pretty penny, but if your anything like me, it’s totally worth it to keep you looking perfect all night!

Product Review: Napolean Auto-Pilot Face Primer I have to admit, I started cheating on my old favorite primer (Two-faced primed and poreless) with the new Naploean Auto-Pilot. HUGE difference between these two as well, auto-pilot is a water based primer and Primed and Poreless is silicone based. Primed and Poreless does what it says and hides those pores but what it also does is eventually stretches them out making the, bigger, I mean you are applying silicone into these little holes in your face, I also noticed I was starting to break out more. I decided it was time to try something new, since I favor water based foundations then I was thrilled to find a water based primer. The great thing about it is that you don’t need much of it AT ALL, which is good since it’s pricing is on the higher end, but this will last you! I’m already noticing the difference in my skin since it’s now able to breathe. This is a great primer to pave your path for a fresh face on the big day.

What’s in My Drawer

                                   

I’m obsessed with this look and always have been! It only takes a few products to achieve it!
To get this timeless look you will need a liquid liner, neutral shadows, mascara, a peachy blush or bronzer, and a candy apple red lipstick! Depending on your skin color you could go lighter or darker with the lip stain.
One key product I use religiously is my Paul Mitchell Extra Body hairspray! Big Victoria Secret hair is always in and would be a perfect match with this easy-to-do make up application!

Product Review
BITE BEAUTY High Pigment Pencil in Rhubarb
It’s all about LIPS this season. Which is great, a little lip color with a nice tan looks fabulous on everyone!! However, I’ll admit, sometimes it can be a bit tricky finding the right lip color. Bite Beauty’s High Pigment Pencil in Rhubarb is great for the girl who is a bit color noncommittal and looks beautiful on. The pencil leaves behind the perfect amount of color, and we LOVE the packaging! We think this pencil would be the perfect thing to throw in your bag for your honeymoon!! We will definitely be buying more of these pencil’s!!
