Bronzer

I was lucky enough to get a great tan while I was in Miami last week.  However, now that my tan is starting to fade, I've turned to one of my favorite make up products; bronzer.  By applying a bit of bronzer to my face, I'm able to keep the "sunny glow" a bit longer.  My favorite bronzer is called the Big Bronzer by Cargo.

Bronzer can be used to give you a tan or as a contour.  Here's a few tips if you're looking for a "sunny glow":

- Use either a contour brush or a rounded brush to apply just under the cheek bones, then blend upwards onto the cheeks.
-You can also apply bronzer along the temple and top of your forehead to give a sun kissed glow.
-Pick your correct shade.  You want something that is just a shade or 2 darker than your skin.
-Bronzers come in both matte and shimmery finishes.  Shimmery finishes can give you a nice glow, but can also emphasize pores.

Here's a few tips if you're looking to use bronzer to contour your face:

-Apply diagonally under your cheekbones or parallel to your jawline.  This will really make your cheekbones pop.
-Apply on the sides of your nose from the bridge straight down.  This will make your nose appear longer and thinner.  Blending here is key.
-Apply on your jaw line and and under your chin, which will make your round face look more elongated.

Traveling This Week

I'm traveling this week for my company's annual event in Miami.  Pitbull is performing (Yay Mr. 305!)!  While I'm making this out to sound like a week of fun, there's a LOT of work involved.  By the end of the week everyone is exhausted.  Work hard, play hard.  The hardest part of all is being away from by boys.  I'll resume posts when I get back!

Spring Nail Polish

With Spring right around the corner, its time to trade in my dark nail polish (which I LOVE) for pretty pastels.  There's tons of great pastel nail colors to choose from.  My favorites are pinks, purples, and corals.  I love light blues, mints, and yellows too, but I never feel that I can pull them off.  Several brands have released their new spring collections. I've listed a few of my favorites below.  Enjoy!

DIY Valentine's Day Wreath

Yesterday, my Sister-In-Law sent me a picture of this amazing Valentine's Day wreath, and I wanted to share it with all of you.  She bought fabric and wrapped it around a styrofoam wreath.  The small felt roses and wooden sign were already pre-made.  If you're feeling really crafty, here's a link to a DIY tutorial for felt flowers.  However, I like my SIL's plan; just glue them on!  Best of all, it was inexpensive!  She was able to get everything for only $26 at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon!  This is a perfect way to decorate your house for Valentine's Day!  Enjoy!

I have to admit, I wasn't really into the Superbowl last night.  The only thing I was looking forward to was Beyonce.  BTW, she killed it last night.  I almost died when Destiny's Child reunited on stage.  While the Hubs watched the game, I browsed around on Pinterest.  I came across this outfit and loved it!  Individually, the pieces are pretty basic, thus it was really easy to recreate.  I pulled pieces from Forever 21, Asos, and Lulu's to pull off an affordable copycat of this outfit.  Enjoy!
