Spring 2014 Makeup Trends

The gorgeous Lily from Beauty With Lily has invited me to do a collaboration with her with the super sweet Liz from My Pretty Obsessions to do what makeup looks are trending this Spring 2014. Who's excited?!?! I am! I'm usually not a big follower of what's trending, but I will try it out and see if it works out for me. We need to step out of our comfort zones once in a while, and for this post I kinda went overboard and went bold. Go big or go home right?!? More on that later.

Before we do head on to the look I chose, here are a few that Lily has found with her research that will be trending this Spring:

• Orange Lips *which Lily has chosen to do
• Cobalt Blue eyeliner/ eyeshadow *Lily pairing with her orange lips!
• Gold shadows *the look Liz will be doing
• Rosy Eyes
• Smokey Lilac eyes
• Berry colored cheeks
• Red Velvet Lips
• Metallic eyeshadows
• Chocolate Brown nail polish
• Navy Blue liner

Go check out what these awesome, beautiful, smart ladies have done with their looks!

Review: Willa for Girls- Travel/ Sleep Over Kit

I may not have kids of my own but I do have a niece who is in her "tween" years, and I do know how important it is to be taking care of your skin as your body develops and goes through changes at this stage. 

Radiant Orchid Lip Shades Faves

 Because of the dry winter air my lips have not been well to rock bold lips so I thought I would still share with you though my fave "Radiant Orchid" lip shades that I I think is just a fun color to wear and adds that nice pop of color on any outfit or makeup look!

Review: The Dirty Side of Fashion Book

I will admit it, I am not good at taking care of my clothes and so I keep it simple and stay with 100% Cotton clothes. Those with such complicated fabrics like silks with sequins or beaded, pleated wools and such, all those goes to my dry cleaners. 

So when I was offered this book for review, I couldn't wait to read it!
