Cosmetic Case of the Mondays

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I enjoyed relaxing and spending time with friends and family, and most importantly enjoyed the fact that Jared was able to unpack for good and put his suitcase in the garage as he is now home for good!

Tarte

So I have to tell you about a new lipstick I just purchased!  Now I know what you’re thinking, when do I not have to tell you about a new lipstick?  But seriously, I must share the amazingness of the new Tarte Aqualillies for Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12-Hour Lipstick in Timeless.  It is the most gorgeous shade of coral inspired by Aqualillies, America’s most glamorous synchronized swimming group!  It glides on your lip and keeps them moisturized, while maintaining the color for up to 12 hours!

Aqualillies

I first heard about the lipstick when my fav Sephora makeup artist emailed me to let me know that I had to check it out asap as they were flying off the shelves – she had sold 6 in one day, including to herself!  When I rushed in after work I was sad to see they were sold out, however we still applied it and I fell in love instantly!  Walking around the mall I even received multiple compliments from strangers on the lipstick, so I ran home and ordered it.  Well I wore it today and I loved it just as much!  I highly recommend and suggest you act fast as it’s limited edition!  Yes, limited edition…the two words I dread hearing yet suddenly give me the biggest makeup rush, don’t regret it!

Fashion Friday: Weird Weather Wardrobe

It’s Friday (exhale).  I couldn’t be more excited for the weekend.  Besides the fact that I get a break from my cube, I will officially be reunited with Jared as the Florida Legislative Session is over!!  Unfortunately we won’t be celebrating poolside as we have been getting wrecked with rain this week.  And I’m not talking about some delayed “Spring showers”, I’m referring to monsoon waters that are flooding the roads.  Woof.  However I know I can’t complain, the entire country is getting rocked with the craziest weather!  Rain…Shine…Snow!  It’s May people!  May!  And when the weather is this unpredictable it certainly puts a wrinkle in your attire (and for those of us down here – especially with hidden Jew curls – terrible frizzy hair).

Here’s at least a little guide to attempt to look fab, regardless of the forecast!

Ok, so I know there’s no article of clothing I could show you (that is still for sale in May, no less) that would make you any less pissed about having snow in May.  So my suggestion is to rock these awesome Kate Spade Air Quote Mittens and mix yourself a spiked hot chocolate or coffee cocktail and have a bitch fest about how over the Winter you really are.  And you’ll obvi look fab doing so!

Cheers to a great weekend!

Candidly Nicole

So I had something else scheduled to post today, but yesterday I watched a video online that I just had to share with you all asap!

Nicole

Backstory: I adore Nicole Richie.  We’ve seen many different sides of her through the years since she became a household name while frolicking about with her then BFF Paris Hilton on The Simple Life back in 2003.  No matter what she’s doing, what her weight is, who she’s dating, one thing has always remained constant; she has remained hilaaaarious all the while!  I so wish we were friends, especially now that she’s calmed down and is a loving mother of two, wife, entrepreneur, designer, and style icon.  I think she’s one of the funniest women I’ve never met and the main reason I tune in to Fashion Star on NBC.

Candidly Nicole

Well, I almost giggled with glee when I learned today that Nicole started a new AOL web series, “#CandidlyNicole”.  In her first episode, we follow her as she contemplates removing her “tramp stamp”.  I can’t get enough and will be counting down until the next web episode next week.

Be sure to follow along every Tuesday for a new episode!

Cosmetic Case of the Mondays: Lorac TANtalizer

Hello Hello!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I had a terrific time spending time with friends, soaking in the sun, and watching the Heat sweep the series, woop woop!

We had such gorgeous weather this weekend that it made me realize Summer would soon be approaching when means pale skin has got to go!  Since it’s not always easy to find time to catch some rays or even a spray tan, some times you just have to fake it!  Insert my new favorite “body makeup”, Lorac’s TANtalizer Deep Body Bronzing Luminizer.  It’s quick-drying, smells amazinggg (seriously), and provides an instant glow to your body without any streaking!  Lorac also offers a regular TANtalizer (opposed to the Deep version), however when I tried it out I felt it was too orange on my skin, as well as too shimmery.  And for all those expecting mothers out there, this is safe to use since it doesn’t carry dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and it isn’t a self-tanner and is just topical body makeup!

TANtalizer

All you need is a little bit in each of the desired areas, and you can always add more if you’d like.

Apply

Rub it all in, trying to get it as even as possible.

Rub

Ta-da!  It looks like you’ve been laying poolside for days!

Ta-Da

Goofed on an area and want to remove it?  Worried it’s going to stain your skin and you’ll be caught “orange handed” that you’re faking it?  Best part about the TANtalizer is that it washes off instantly with just soap and water!  Look Ma, clean hands!

All clean!

Have a golden week!

Fashion Friday…Sales, Sales, Sales!

So you’ll never hear me complain about this but I am borderline overwhelmed about how many amazing sales there are this weekend at some of my favorite stores!  So many sales, so little time (and money!).  There is of course the Friends and Family 25% off promotion at Saks 5th Avenue that I spoke about on Wednesday, have you shopped around yet?  So dangerous as it’s always easy to justify a purchase, reminding yourself that they only go on F&F twice a year.

Jcrew

In addition to Saks, J. Crew is offering 25% off everything (both online with code SPRINGBEST and in store) through Sunday!  I have my eyes on these gorgeous black and white Tabbie Colorblock T-Strap Sandals.  You can never go wrong with that color combo.  Always chic.  Always in.  I also ran over today to score this fun Classic Enamel Link Bracelet.  White hot bracelet for my White Hot Heat!

Simon Utility Pouch

Be sure to also stop by your local Tory Burch store where they too are offering 25% for their Friends & Fans Event (both online with code TBSPRING and in store).  Guess it pays to have good “friends”.  I’m loving the Simon Utility Pouch right now!  You can’t go wrong with a great crossbody for the upcoming Summer, especially in such a gorgeous tan color.  I love the chain, but was even happier to see that it includes the leather shoulder pad.  Maybe people have tougher skin than I do (or just not as bony of shoulders), but I can’t have a bag that’s just a chain strap.  They’re a killer!

Have fun shopping and have an amazing weekend!  Go Heat!
