Shop: Brow Duette | Peak Performance Brow | YouTube Video
Happy Makeup Monday!! Today I am working with POP Beauty to bring you their new brow essentials. Who doesn’t love a nice arched brow? I can’t think of anyone. So that is why POP Beauty has created the Brow Duette and the Peak Performance Brow. Two different products to help you shape the perfect brow. Both of these come in three different shades so that they can match your eyebrow color. They are easy to use and last all day. These two products have become an important part of my everyday makeup routine. Check out my review below or on YouTube here.
Friday Feels
I need a tropical vacation ASAP, but since that is not happening I can at least pretend and dress like I am on an island, right?? How do you dress on vacay? My look is usually simple and relaxed with with pops of color and unique accessories, like I did with this outfit here. A black tank goes well with almost anything and white jeans most definitely stand out, particularly during the summer’s lush landscape. I added some color with these coral tassel earrings which I am in love with and will be wearing all summer. Then can we talk about these shoes? They are perfect since I am pretty much the Plant Lady of Louisville! Lol! Did you know the floral meaning of Cactus is longevity and endurance. Something we all need right?!?

Summer, Summer, Summertime
Happy Saturday and Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Who is already for it to officially be summer? Not that it doesn’t already feel like it. In the summer wearing dresses is my thing because they are so simple and easy, especially when it is extremely hot and humid outside. I am a fan of dresses that are airy and light, like this one dress in the post. It is super comfy and great for many occasions, such as work, date night and a get together with friends. I mean it is even appropriate to wear to church, it’s that versatile. Another reason I love this dress is because of the colors, pastels and neutrals. My summer accessories are a simple necklace, some hoops and sunglasses are a must. What is your favorite thing to wear this summer?

Once you get engaged having your nails always polished is a must because everybody wants to look at that ring right? Zoya is the best nail polish because it is free of parabens, lead, formaldehyde, and many of those other nasty things you don’t want in or on your body. So Zoya is a healthier choice and last days without chipping; what more do you need? In this trio the colors are Jordan, Leia (which is my favorite), and Abby. I will definitely being wearing these all summer, especially to my bachelorette party and bridal shower.
If you are looking for something sparkly for your wedding day I have found the perfect pair. These Charles & Colvard Moissanite Three Prong Martini Studs will do the trick. The round Forever One moissanite earrings are delicate and will go great with almost any attire. They are 14K white gold, and have the diamond equivalent weight of 1.00ctw. Moissanite is one of the rarest minerals found in nature. Charles & Colvard have been creating moissanite for over two decades and I think they have perfected it in these near-colorless studs. The best thing about these is that they are offered at a fraction of the cost of comparable gemstones. They are gorgeous and definitely do not disappoint. I will be wearing these to my bridal shower and rehearsal dinner.

You have the perfect dress, now you need the undergarments. This Bali Lace N’ Smooth Body Briefer is just the thing for brides. It is a super soft lace that is breathable, but yet still provides as much control as needed. This body briefer shapes you in the right places and does not bulge. It has underwire cups that hold you in and allow support on your special day. Full coverage with hook and eye closures, which is exactly what I am looking for. The best part is that it is comfortable and you can wear it all day during your wedding.

Skirt with Panels
Who doesn’t love a skirt with different panels or mix match fabric? This piece is a true winner in my book. It incorporates different textures and patterns to pull off a unique look. This color and texture block A-line has pops of color, polychrome faux suede, and tweed to create a different look to an otherwise boring alternative. The skirt is just fun! Especially paired with this ruffled off the should top. The movement of the skirt as well as the top make the outfit perfect for dancing (makes me want to learn how to salsa :). It is also equally good for date night, a fashion show, or a bachelorette party. Add some accessories and you are off! Honestly one of my favorite outfits I have shot to date. What are your thoughts?

Perfect lipstick is an understatement. These four Grande Cosmetic’s Hydraplump Liquid Lipsticks were sent to me months ago and I just now tried them. I am so mad at myself because I absolutely love them and could have been wearing them for months. Ugh, typical! Anyway, you need try these. And here is why: lip plumper, very pigmented, long lasting, and moisturizing. Find out even more about these liquid lipsticks that will make you want to run out and buy them, from my YouTube review (here) or below. You can thank me later!
