I love to change up my makeup look just a bit each season. Normally summer is a time to embrace all the golden and bronzey things, but I myself am loving a sheer pop of color on the lips. Something hot pink, cherry red or coral worn in a toned down way is perfect for the hot summer weather. I've been playing around with the products I have in my makeup collection and came up with a handful of lip colors and lip combinations that I plan to wear all summer long. All are still super wearable for daytime and

Makeup by Mario launched a new bronzing serum and I immediately ordered it to try! The colors seemed wearable and the swatches all seemed sheer and easy to blend so I had very high hopes. Makeup by Mario products are hit or miss with me but more of them are a hit recently - especially his complexion and cheek products. I love the Softsculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer because it gives just enough color and warmth to the skin without being too much. This new Softsculpt Multi-Use Bronzing & Shaping Serum gives a similar effect in a liquid formulation. I ordered

I take my skincare routine seriously all year round but I really have to find the right products for my summer skincare routine to keep my skin balanced and protected. Between the long days of intense sun, extreme heat and brutal humidity, it's a constant battle to use formulas that help nourish my skin without making it feel suffocated. The summer months can really take a toll on the skin and I try to incorporate the right skincare products to help with this. I like to switch to lightweight formulas and focus on products that really hydrate and replenish my

Everything I Read in May 2024 1. Just For the Summer This is a really fun beach read though it got a bit more deep than I anticipated. LOL Justin posted on a Reddit thread how every girl that he dates breaks up with him and then finds her soul mate right after. He is convinced that it's a curse and doesn't know how to break it.

If there is one season when you want to wear all the glowy body products, it is definitely summer. The Patrick Ta Glow Balm has been on my wish list for a while. So I decided to finally purchase it and try it out. Patrick Ta products are hit or miss with me - I have really enjoyed some and others were not a fit. Patrick Ta is a celebrity makeup artist who started his own brand a few years ago and it is has quickly gained massive popularity. He is known for creating looks that are glowy, sultry and

NARS powder blushes are a makeup classic. Almost everyone I know has owned one at some point. There are so many gorgeous colors to choose from, they are long wearing and the pigment is rich and intense. They recently launched them in a newly upgraded texture and formula that is designed to be longer wearing with an even more weightless feel.

I have three shades to review in this post - the uber popular shade Orgasm, a gorgeous everyday rose shade Dolce Vita and
