Weekend RECAP

MONDAY!!! Finally a new week! I just felt that this past weekend went on forever.
Friday began calm and I actually thought it would be a nice night to get some 1/2 off apps.
But somehow I was too busy going from one place to another running errands.

Saturday, I was up BRIGHT and EARLY. I had a nice cup of coffee at 5:30 AM and off to make a lovely bridal party beautiful at 6:45 Am. It was truly a pleasure working with these lovely ladies.
I finished and left just as the photogs were snapping pics left and right. 2PM I left so THANKFUL that i didn't wear heels that morning. Then off to the mall and paper work to do at home. I finally went off to bed at 12:30 AM .. only to be woken up by my BF <3>

So today I'm tan and tired counting down the hours to go to sleep. =)

Here's a little peek at what I do best! ...

End of Summer

Well as much as I hate the fact that summer is ending... I do LOVE the end of summer sales!
I am such a sucker for shopping, but then again which woman isn't.
So yesterday, I spent my afternoon( and evening !) shopping at the mall. I went in there for a simple pair of white pumas. As I passed the shoes stores, I went into all my FAV clothing stores and by the time I knew it-- I was in the fitting room with piles of clothes. By the end of the day my elbow and shoulders were throbbing from holding all the bags. But that was just a small price =)

I do remember my BF calling and asking what I was doing. I simply replied," nothing just shopping 'til the bank drops" --- he was not too happy but Whatever!

Anyway the whole point of this post was to encourage you to hit the malls and hit the sales racks. There are cute tops and dresses on sale .. besides there is about 2 weeks left of summer!!

So SHOP.. but not until the bank drops! =)

Summer Days!

Well.. I just came back from the hoTT Jersey SHore!
And let me tell you that it definately get hot in JErseY!
And I LOVE every minute of IT.

I am the type of people that would rather be sweating in 100 degrees
than freezing in the winter. I HATE winter and how fast SUmmer SLIPS
away. .. =(

So as I was getting ready to head DTS... I thought of how horrible the summer
is for makeup. Only I would seem to notice women walkingf around with melting
Makeup. And so I thought I should explain how to prevent melting makeup.

So here goes...

1. first of all.. summer gets hot and humid. There is noo need to exaggerate on foundation
Light and SHEER is the goal.

2. Find yourself a good tinted moisturizer with SPF!! very important
Sephora has plenty to choose from

3. For coverage, use concealer very sparingly. Sometimes going overboard
just makes it worst.

4. INVEST.. INVEST.. in Waterproof Eyeliners if your going to be in water!
Nothing is worst than raccoon eyes in a cute bikini.
My FAV: Aqua EYes by MAKEUP FOREVER ** best stuff ever

5. Use a brozer over your tinted moisturizer
MY FAV: Cargo MIAMI beach powder bronzer.. ** can't live without this stuff

6. If you are going to wear foundation.. PLEASE use a primer.. Smashbox Photo Primer is great
Prevent the excess shine and keep your makeup on your face

7. Don't forget to get Shine blotting papers to keep your makeup FRESH

8. Go for Gold, bronze, and warm colors for eyeshadow!


.. so there you have it.. my summer makeup tips!
