Tuesday Top Ten: Shopping List!

 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 

I love making these shopping list. It actually helps me stay focused on getting the things that I want! And it's the easiest post to do. I'm looking forward to a slow, laid back month in August with only one wedding to do! During that month I plan on doing a kitchen post, marquee light how to, makeup tutorial video (accepting request!!) and that hair tutorial you guys asked about :) 

But for now, here's my shopping list and a little detailed description of those items!

snake print + crop tops

top: urban outfitters *clearance rack // bottom: target *clearance rack // shoes: shari by mossimo - target

makeup: MUFE HD foundation & powder // MAC Omega on brows // MAC Subculture on lips // Smashbox Pink Lady Lipgloss // Ardell Demi Whispie lashes

Don't you love it when you just throw on some clothes so your not walking naked around the house and then find out later that it's a freakin' awesome outfit?! Rarely does my outfit match lol But when I bought this new top on my birthday, I had a certain skirt in mind that I was planning on making to go with it. And since I'm so impatient, I wore it around the house the very next day and just threw on the first skirt I saw. Just had to add some ankle stapes, undo and a lot of makeup and now.. here we are!

P.S. I'm hoping to get my kitchen organized enough to do a walk through with you guys! I'd love to get some before and afters up of this place as well-man was it in bad shape before! On the to-blog list..

beat the heat!

I was requested to give you all a list of products I recommend for hot/humid weather. And these products beat the heat!

MUFE All Mat Primer // This stuff covers shininess immediately after applying it!

MUFE HD Powder // Same results as the primer. Seals the makeup and helps it last all day.

Model In A Bottle // My favorite setting spray. Plus it smells amazing! Like perfume and hairspray for yo face.

I'm so bad about taking the time to do my makeup in the morning and if I do, I generally skip the primers. Boy do I regret that 20 minutes later and I'm pretty sure as a full time makeup artist, my face should be spot on 24/7 :/

That being said, even though I may want the easiest way to apply makeup and skip all the steps, it would be a waste of time without these products. Now, it's all or nothing for me! 

Hope you guys had a happy 4th! I can't wait to share with you my instagram pictures!
