Make Me Over with MAKE Beauty

April 27, 2016

One of the most fun aspects of blogging as of late has been having the opportunity to learn about different beauty brands and products.  I have always been quite set in my beauty ways thanks to my mother and grandmother who had tried and true beauty routines while I was growing up and have not experimented with products or my look too much in the past.  When I find a product I like I stick with it for years, even decades.  Seriously, I have been using the same brow pencil since I was 16 and can almost guarantee I will never deviate from it because I DON’T mess with my brows. Every so often though a line comes along that grabs me and makes me want to experiment with something new.  MAKE Beauty is one of those brands for so many reasons; for their products, for the beliefs they were founded on, and for their continued core values.

Started and produced in New York City, MAKE was created around the belief that there are no beauty rules and that “each individual is driven by an artist approach to their own personal reality”. How great of a foundation is that?  The company’s products encourage creative expression in whatever form that speaks to you, be it through a minimal look or one that is more dramatic. Whatever look it is you’re going for, MAKE wants to help you achieve it.

Music Festival DIY – Feather Earrings

April 14, 2016

It is a little bittersweet to share my third and final music festival DIY with you today.  I had such a great time with all three of my projects and am a bit sad that they’re all completed!  Alas, all good things must come to an end and it just so happens that this particular ending signals that Weekend 1 of Coachella officially starts TOMORROW!

For my final festival DIY I went full on boho and channeled my inner Earth child.  I’m not normally one for nature-inspired embellishments or big jewelry but for this DIY I combined the two to create a pair of very unique leather earrings that definitely push the boundaries of my comfort zone.

Organic Anti-Aging

April 13, 2016

I was first introduced to Valentina Skin Care, a company committed to providing top of the line natural skin care products, a couple of months ago when I had the opportunity to test out their Royal Rose Hydrating Serum.  I had excellent experiences both with the product and in my interactions with the company and understandably jumped at the opportunity to work with them again and put their Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum to the test.

While the serum of theirs I have been using is focused on providing a blast of moisture to dry skin, this one addresses controlling and repairing damage.  Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum is a blend of botanicals, oils and vitamins combined to create a natural and luxurious product focused on reducing the appearance of wrinkles, evening out skin tone and protecting against environmental damage your skin might suffer.

Music Festival Beauty for 2016

April 6, 2016

I love all the fun and fresh faced beauty looks you can find at music festivals.  I know a lot of people use festivals as a time to experiment with different makeup colors and trends, but I personally love more natural looks.  The way I look at it, when you’re spending hours under the beating sun fake lashes and facial embellishments really aren’t the most practical.  That is why I consistently opt for subtle, barely there looks for festivals, concerts and warm summer days.  I’m loving that beauty in general is leaning in a more natural direction this year and am looking forward to seeing some gorgeous music festival beauty looks at Coachella!

Music Festival DIY – Floral Sunglasses

April 2, 2016

Another Saturday, another DIY.  I promised you guys three fun music festival DIYs and I plan on delivering!  While I love the way the gold foil bag I shared with you all last week turned out, I’m even happier with the results of today’s DIY.  I think these embellished sunglasses are so fun and feminine and absolutely perfect for the festival season!  The best part?  They are incredibly simple to create!
