This is a pretty, pink beaded necklace I picked up while on vacation. My parents and I went to Colorado for a week. It was beautiful! I always love to get unique pieces while on vacation (and always look for ones that are locally made!) This necklace has little wooden beads breaking up the pink every inch or so. I think it will be perfect to throw on a casual outfit.
It's MiO!! If you haven't tried MiO yet, you're seriously missing out! I've been trying to drink a lot of water this summer, and this little guy adds a perfect burst of flavor! I got it in mango peach flavor. Although the packaging has yellow on it, it actually turns the water a deep orangish color. It tastes like heaven, and the best part is that it's calorie FREE!
These flip flops are from Old Navy. I also picked them up in black with silver accents, just because the price was fantastic. I love the color of these flip flops. I think this has to be the perfect color for summer - I even bought two shirts in a fluorescent version of this shade! I always find that Old Navy flip flops are very reliable, comfortable, and best of all - affordable.
Time for some actual beauty products! I wasn't really expecting to love this blush, just because it is such a fair, pinkish color (it's much lighter in person than in the picture) and I didn't expect it to have as much pigment as it does. It came with a bonus gift I got from Clinique when I made a few purchases there last month. The shade is called Cupid. It just adds the perfect pop of pink to my cheeks, and it looks so natural. Such a pretty shade!
Okay, so technically this Origins GinZing Refreshing eye cream wasn't a real purchase. I got a free sample when I ordered online from Sephora (so I guess that means the blush above wasn't a purchase either - oops!). But I am so happy I tried this! I never used eye creams before, because I didn't think they were necessary for young skin. But I LOVE this cream. It really brightens my eyes and wakes them up instantly. I use it when I apply my normal moisturizer. I will be buying the full size of this in the store!
I AM SO EXCITED I BOUGHT THESE BRUSHES! Can't you tell?! I have been researching quality make-up brushes for a while and I saw reviews RAVING about Real Techniques brushes. I was so happy when I saw them being sold at Harmon (I'm telling you - Harmon has a GREAT selection of stuff!). I've only used these a few times, but man are they soft! I am especially excited about the stippling brush - it really helps my foundation make-up look streak-free. Can't wait to buy more from Real Techniques!
Okay...I admit it...I did not purchase this nail polish either. I borrowed it from my friend, Katie. Guilty as charged! But it's beautiful. I was really feeling a nice yellow color for my nails and when I found this in Katie's collection, I couldn't wait to paint! In person, the color is the perfect amount of brightness (I'm usually not into neon or super bright colors. I don't want to hurt someones eyes when they're trying to look at my manicure!). I have found the formula to be thick and streaky (like most pastel or lighter colors) and it chips like crazy. I may try and find a color similar to this one in another collection.
You've probably already seen this product before (at the salon perhaps? I know mine uses it!) and wondered if it REALLY is a miracle product. Well ladies, here's the deal: I enjoy the It's a 10 miracle leave-in product for it's sweeeeeeeet and decadent scent, and because it is the best de tangler I have ever used. You know how soft and knot-free your hair is right after a cut? This leave-in product makes my hair feel like I just stepped out of the salon (cheesiest line ever - sorry! It's just so true!) When I wear my hair curly, it gets especially knotty at the back of my neck - I hate that! But when I spray this on damp hair, it really does keep my hair softer, knot-free, smelling nice, and all-around healthier looking. The only thing I hate is the price ($16 for 4 fl oz. WUT.)
Perfect skin in a bottle. I'm serious. Have you ever heard of the trick to put toothpaste on a zit to make it go away? Well I think this mask was made in spite of that tip. It makes your whole face tingle and tighten up. I wear it overnight on problem areas and wake up to flawless skin. Seriously - it just works.
A coworker suggested this John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Finishing Creme to me. The nice part about it is that it can go on dry hair without making it look greasy. The smell is lovely too, which is nice after using styling tools as they can make your hair smell burnt and icky. I was already a big fan of John Frieda products and I'm glad I got reacquainted with his hair products!
Last but not least! I mean, what is a summer without a really yummy smelling lotion? I got this from Bath and Body Works - it's called Bali Mango. I am always in favor of tropical smelling body products. They just smell like paradise. I went back and bought the body spray because it smells that good. Like all of B&BW products, I have found this lotion to be super easy to rub into the skin and non-greasy. Great for my summer skin!
That's all! Until next time, stay pretty :) xoxo
