I have always loved a good classy but casual look. A chambray shirt paired with boyfriend jeans is such a great way to achieve that type of look. Cognac is always a colour I tend to gravitate towards when it comes to any outfit really. It is a classy option without making an outfit look too harsh and I find it goes with pretty much any outfit you throw on. Gold accessories is always a nice option to pair with a casual look and a cute floppy hat to add some sass and sophistication.
For those of you that follow me on Instagram, I have posted a few "selfie" pictures in the past of me wearing the BareMinerals Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation and I have also had some of you emailing me on what makeup I wear in general. I thought it would be a great idea to do a review on my current foundation and explain why I love it so much and how it changed my beauty routine forever.
I have always struggled with uneven skin tone, blemishes along my jaw line, my chin and the odd one on my neck which are all hormonal areas that tend to flare up once in a while. It didn't mater what foundation, tinted moisturizer, bb cream etc, nothing seemed to cover my unevenness, redness, blemishes until I started using the BareMinerals Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation SPF20.
This foundation has seriously been a life saver and has changed my beauty routine for the better. It gives me the perfect amount of coverage to even out my skin tone, it covers any blemishes that I may have, it gives a nice natural finish to the skin without it being too shiny, hence "Brightening Serum" and it is super light weight on the skin. It is formulated without oil, silicone, parabens and fragrance and its formulated for all skin types and it is great for people who have sensitive skin.
It is also one of the first foundations that haven't made me breakout and I always get so many compliments on my skin when I am wearing it.
The great thing about this foundation is that it can be applied sheer or you can build it up and have more of a full coverage look. On those good skin days I use 2-3 drops and on those days when I need more coverage I will use about 4-5 drops.
Application:
SHAKE, DROP, BUFF
1. You want to make sure that you shake this foundation really well before applying it to the skin.
2. You then want to apply it with a dense foundation brush or BareMinerals has a special brush designed specifically for the application of this foundation which is called the Perfecting Face Brush. This brush has a fluid reservoir design that makes the application quick and easy while giving you a flawless airbrushed finish.
3. You then want to apply the foundation in a circular motion while buffing it into the skin. At this point, if you feel like you need more coverage, add a few more drops to the brush and repeat.
My Shade:
Bare Linen #03
{This is for light skin types with neutral undertones}
This foundation also comes in 20 different shades and with options whether you have neutral, golden or cool undertones.
I highly recommend this foundation for anyone and if I can help and suggest a product to you that has helped me and improved my beauty routine then I am glad I did a review on this product and would love for you to come back and give me your feedback.
Denim vests are great pieces to have in your closet when you want to accessorize your outfit without being too warm than wearing the typical long sleeve denim jacket. You can dress it up or down and its great for a night out on the patio with your besties having a few margaritas.
There are so many adorable beach essentials that come out every year but this year, we have all been seeing "flamingo's everywhere and anywhere. I mean, I can see why, they are the cutest and who wouldn't want to float around in a flamingo pool float?
Sun Bum SPF 50+ is an absolute must and beachy salt spray hair is beyond pretty especially when lounging by a pool or a beach.
When it comes to home décor, I am crazy obsessed with "nautical/ beach" themed spaces. I feel like its fresh and airy and its like being in a tropical space all year around. Neutral colours and pops of turquoise and navy always gives for a cheery space.
