Current Must-Haves | 01.

Lately I have been into really subtle make up looks. With summer in TX still blazing hot, it's important to find a way to wear makeup without looking or feeling like you're melting. It sounds easier than it is people because 105 degree heat does something crazy to your skin and make up! These are a few of my most recent must haves - enjoy! XO - B

EcoTools make up brushes - I have the multi use brush and the powder brush. They feel amazing and are easy to clean and maintain. I would recommend getting a set - they last forever and aren't expensive! I use them to put on my foundation and bronzer. 

MaryKay CC Cream in Light/Medium - So I got this product from a friend and was a little iffy about it at first. I have to say after using it for a few weeks, I absolutely love it. You can see it's really creamy yet once blended, it leaves a slightly dewy yet matte finish that lasts. It isn't full coverage but enough to stay for the day and not melt away in this heat. 

Loreal lip gloss - Just enough pigment to help you pull off the 'natural lip' look. Goes on smooth and doesn't leave you with lips that stick together. I love this baby pink color that looks great with a tan or over a nude lipstick. 

Alex and Ani energy bracelets - Ok so these have been my go to lately with jewelry. I love that they offer pieces with stories behind them. You can pick a piece and then add meaningful charms, which I love. My gold bracelet has my birthstone, garnet and the silver one stands for strength, motivation and hope throughout your path of life. More about them here!

Everyday Emmy's Style

So the red carpet last night was absolutely on point. The dresses for the Emmy's are always so gorgeous, I think most of us watch to see what everyone will wear (am I right, or am I right??). Last night was no exception and these are a few of my absolute favorite looks. As we all drool over how beautiful everyone was, I thought it'd be fun to do a little mixing and matching so we can look Emmy worthy more than just once a year! What were your favorite looks from the night?! XO, B

The Fresh Start

Nothing like a new week with some new goals - post more, worry less, have some fun, etc! I'll be catching up this week after a little break last and can't wait to get back into the swing of things! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend; anyone have any fun new adventures?

XO, B

The T-Shirt Dress

The Monday morning struggle that comes along with each new week always starts with, "seriously, what do I wear??" Well, I've finally found an answer... the t-shirt dress. Comfortable, versatile and ever so flattering. Enjoy ladies & thank me later! Happy Monday!

Beauty Haul | 03. Drugstore Lipsticks

Ok guys - it's August. When did that happen?!! In other news, I'm talking drugstore lipsticks today. I have such a hard time finding lipsticks that don't dry out my lips or make them crack. Revlon and Loreal have some awesome ones out that I've found work great! The Loreal Color Riche line has so many colors and they go on smooth, not sticky and the color lasts throughout the day.  If you want some more advice on drugstore buys when it comes to make up, look up Jaclyn Hill. She mixes high end beauty products with drugstore buys and gives great reviews! Check her YouTube out here! Happy Shopping! xo
