Casual, Cool Back to School Look!

I love a laid back look that says, "Hey, I didn't even have to try!" This is my version of casual style. I hope it inspires you to create your own look!

Boho Back to School Look!

I love the earthy boho look, and here is how you can achieve it. I listed the store and the price below each item. Or maybe it will just inspire you to create your own look.

Yay for China Glaze Crackle Polish!

I have been wanting to try this stuff for ever! I love super easy nail designs, and this is as easy as it gets. The nail polish designs itself. First, you paint one coat of regular nail polish over your nails. Then all you do is paint over the first coat with crackle polish. As it drys it will start to crack, and you will see the first color in the cracks. It was fun to watch!

First Coat: China Glaze - Seduce Me

Second Coat: China Glaze Crackle - Tarnished Gold

My Makeup Do's!

When I was doing a post on makeup don'ts, I asked my friends what they thought. It was funny how different our opinions were. I think we had a twenty minute conversation on appropriate eyeliner. So, I decided we should come up with our makeup do's. These were mine...

Do try blue eyeshadow!

If your afraid of the crazy neon blues try navy. Navy is very wearable! I always beg my friends to try color!

Do Try A Red Lip

I love wearing a fresh clean face with a red lip. I don't think lipstick is only for special occasions. I will wear it to the grocery store! It makes my teeth feel whiter too.

Do Wear Fake Eyelashes

I don't like the thick, crazy ones with colors and glitter. I love a natural, romantic look. Sometimes I will even cut the ends and just use them.

Do you have any makeup Do's or don'ts?

Trend I love: Hippie Headband

I love hair accessories! I don't like to wear the same hairstyle everyday, and accessories are a great way to switch it up. What do you guys think of the hippie hairbands?

Favorite Products for Pool Days!

I have been at the beach for the past few days! I tried out a few new things while I was there, and I loved them all.

1.) Aveeno Sun Screen for Faces

I am a firm believer in protecting my skin from the sun, and my skin breaks out very easily. It was very hard for me to find a sun screen that worked for me. It is oil free, and my skin doesn't get greasy. No break outs at the beach for me anymore!

2.) SPF for Lips

A lot of people don't realize that your lips can be damaged from the sun. My lips also get very dry from the beach weather. This lip balm did wonders for my lips. It kept them protected, and they never dried out.

3.) Sun Hair Lightener

My roots come in darker and darker every year. I found this at Walmart and decided to give it a try. When I would get out of the pool I would spray this on my roots and lay out for a while. I couldn't believe how well it worked! My roots were blonder than the rest of my hair!

Self Tanner Lotion Reviews!

I have the whitest skin. It's almost glow in the dark! As much as I would love to be tan, I refuse to use tanning beds for the obvious reasons. All of the spray tan products I've tried had two different results: orange skin or streaky skin. I decided to try self tanning lotions, and these are my results.

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer

This product comes in two shades: fair to medium and medium to dark. It is a white color like a regular moisturizer, but the smell tells you otherwise. It's not bad at first, but it sneaks up on you. I used to put it on at night before bed, and I had to smell myself all night. Not a fan of the smell. I also feel like it took a while for me to notice a difference in my skin tone. On the plus side, it never streaked or looked orange! It does give you a glow when you use it as well!

Price: $8.79

The smell by itself knocked off a whole star. Haha, but seriously I was a little disappointed the first week I used it. I eventually got some results, but it took a little while.

Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion

This lotion comes in two different shades, light medium and deep dark. As soon as it comes out of the tube it is already a beautiful bronze color. I love how it gives you a more tanned look immediately. It also has a nice tanning lotion smell to it. It is oil free. I never got any streaks or orange color. If you continue to use this product on a regular basis you will see results! I use the light medium, but a friend of mine uses the dark and swears she gets faster results. It does take some time to see a HUGE difference.

Price:  $7.09

This one is defenitly my favorite. It makes me feel tanner every time I use it! It still takes a little time to see a big change in skin tone though.
