Today I am spending a quiet day on vacation by the lake. It is chilly, we have a fire going, and the family is playing cards with the neighbors. It's the perfect day for a cozy, natural look.
Hair:
My hair was softly straightened, but I put it in a bun using spin pins last night, and now it has this natural looking wave that I decided to keep this morning. (PS: Spin pins have changed my life and you can get them at any drug store or Claire's for hardly anything!)
Clothing:
My scarf is from Dillards...But I cut off the tag, so I have no clue on earth what the name brand is. Sorry.
Hat...hm, I forgot where...but I know Anthropology has some just like it and probably even prettier.
Shirt...haha maybe Target...but I forgot. Wow, I have a fantabulous memory.
My unseen jeans are just some medium wash "Taylors" from Delia's. They are so comfortable.
I am wearing ash gray classic TOMS...(I got my second pair of TOMS, classic burlaps, for Christmas!)
Jewelry:
The charm bracelet is by Andrea Candella. It was handmade in Spain. I added a Rembrant harp charm to it...which I am not sure if you can see it in the picture...I know charm bracelets are back in style and having a bracelet full of them is cool or whatever, but ever since I was little, I wore a bracelet full of them and it was obnoxious and heavy so I am opting for a single charm that is perfect for me, a harp. Sorry for the run-on sentence, haha. I also have Andrea Candella earrings hidden under my hair.
The other two leather bracelets are Fossil. I got them on sale a couple days ago and haven't taken them off. One is pink leather with the classic Fossil button and antiqued metal. The next, my favorite of the two, is a bracelet of two thin, camel colored, leather bands knotted together with a little charm with a tree on it. By the Fossil button there is a little bird. It's adorable. They were originally $40-$50 and I got them for $15 each!
Makeup:
I guess I would call this my "Winter Blush" look. I wear it often because with one eyeshadow palette, it's very simple and quick.
First things first, I cleanse with the Clarisonic Mia. (Quick tip for Clarisonic: use it on your lips to brighten the color in the morning and your eyes. The vibrations will make them appear more open and awake. It reduces the morning puffiness.) Next I put a little of Obagi pore reducer stuff on my face focusing on my nose, forehead, or any problem spot.
I use all BareMinerals face products. First I apply the concealer in concentrated amounts under my eyes and around my nose. Then I apply it everywhere. Today I left out warmth and just put on "First Class" blush.
Then I lined my eyes with "Patio Party," a brown, shimmery liner by BareMinerals. Then I took out my Too Faced "Naked Eye" palette. This kit is common sense. I used the crease colors for the crease duh and blended the light colors from my lid to brow. I worked up the lightest pink for my highlight under my brow. Next I used my new favorite mascara, Maybelline's "Falsies." I applied about three coats. I have very short lashes, but they are at least thick. This mascara not only lengthens them to look like false lashes, it thickens them even more without clumps. Seriously, this stuff is like sent from heaven. Every girl needs to use it.
Whoa, this pic is creepyish, haha. I see you...
but look at those lashes! BAM!
for someone like me who has no lashes lol, that's big!
Lastly, I used some C.O. Bigelow minty gloss from Bath and Body Works. I am not really a fan of the store, but when I went in to look for after Christmas sales, it was only a dollar...and OMG, it smells amazing, feels icy, and really plumps my lips.
Thanks for reading.
