Healthy Summer Snacks

Just a few snacking options I came across. All creds go to Tumblr of course.

Protect Your Hair!

Summer heat= SUNSCREEN! It's also important to have SPF protecting your hair. SUN Combs are designed to apply sunscreen and olive oil to shield your head from harsh sunlight and UV rays. These combs help with frizz and give your hair a boost of shine. SUN Combs are only $5.99. Give them a try!

How To: Fake Your 8 Hours!

We all have those restless nights that haunt us the next day, leaving our eyes are bloodshot. My go-to fix is always downing coffee. I recently came across a blogpost on how models most commonly travel from different time zones and such which causes them to appear dead tired with red glazed over eyes. The post suggested Rohto Eye Drops, $7.50. They supposedly work miracles and within seconds your eyes are whiter and clearer. I'm dying to try these out but I have no idea where to purchase them!

MAC Must Haves!

(Sorry for the low resolution picture, my sister took her good camera to camp :/)

As seen in the picture above:

-Studio Sculpt Concealer . . . purchased at my local MAC store

-Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Sunbasque . . . given to me from my older sister

-Icescape Lipglass (May be limited addition) . . . purchased at a discounted MAC store

-Kissable Lipcolour in Angel . . . purchased downtown (It might not even be a real MAC product)

-Angled brush (266SE) . . . given to me from my mom

-Eyeshadow: 12 Fresh Cut . . . purchased downtown (It might not even be a real MAC product)

-6 Eyeshadow Holiday Palette . . . purchased at a discounted MAC store

-5 Mini Holiday Pigments . . . purchased at a discounted MAC store

I'm not that much of a "cult favorites follower" as far as MAC makeup goes. I do own a few products that you can see above, however most of them are from discounted counters. Out of the MAC products I own, my top favorites that I would recommend are the studio sculpt concealer. This concealer has full coverage so I'd suggest it if you have troubled skin. I have sensitive skin and this concealer doesn't break me out whatsoever. Another product I find great use out of is all of my mini MAC pigments. I personally think mini pigments last so long and it's just more convenient to purchase them as a set rather than buy a full sized of a more expensive pigment. Because I'm not such a MAC junkie I'll link a few youtube videos that might help you out!

CURL THOSE LASHES !!!!

Let me tell you something. Heated eyelash curlers are supposedly incredible, however i've never even thought of purchasing one because I didn't allow myself to splurge. They're just too pricey, and my good ol' eyelash curler works just fine to me! It would be nice to try a heated one out, which intrigued me when I saw this brilliant idea! Blast your hairdryer onto your eyelash curler for 20 seconds. Wait for it to cool down before using!! Test it out with your finger to make sure it isn't too hot. I haven't tried this trick yet but i'm planning on doing so soon! If you guys try it let me know how you like it!

Bet you wouldn't have ever thought of this!

Okay, well I'm definitely the type of person who thinks about germs and every possible way I can avoid them! It grosses me out whenever something isn't 100% clean. Call me OCD, but that's just me. Anyway, I came across one of Lauren, Kristen, and Amy's blog posts on how cleaning your phone is extremely important. It discussed how bacteria collects on the surface of your phone. That bacteria is then transferred onto your face and causes blackheads, blemishes, and sometimes full breakouts. According to what those 3 gals discovered, "Skin care experts + dermatologists can usually tell which side you use most when talking on the phone". It may very well be affecting you and you might not know it because it could be building up from underneath your skin where you can't see. Wipe down your phone with a small amount of rubbing alcohol to solve this!! 

The Ultimate Secret to BEAUTY Awaits You!!

Can you guess what it may be? Here's a hint. You can't live without it and well, frankly, I can't think of any clever hints so here it is...... WATER! Water can often be quite boring to most, so why not spice it up a bit! (This actually goes for anything. Don't be afraid to get a little creative). Lauren Conrad has an incredible beauty blog and created three ways to jazz up your H20...
*Fruit- Slice it up and toss it in. Try different combinations to add some refreshing flavor! You can add cucumbers, lemons, limes, oranges, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, peaches, and so on.
*Mint- Add a few mint leaves to your glass of water!
*Ice- Fill an ice tray with your fav all natural fruit juice and put that in the freezer. When the cubes have frozen add a few to your water (limeade works well!)
