Why We Love Tinted Moisturizers!

Summertime humidity got your beauty regimen in a rut? Well no sweat beauties, here are the reasons why you need to try a tinted moisturizer this summer. The last thing any gal wants when the sun comes out is to throw on a heavy layer of makeup and then worry about it sweating right off! Summer is all about being easy, breezy and carefree, and with the help of a tinted moisturizer, your makeup will now be too! Tinted moisturizers provide a sheer and lightweight tint that not only allows your skin to breathe, but also provides a naturally gorgeous finish, perfect for those beauties looking for that hint of coverage! And what makes them a real summer beauty fix are their high SPF and even water resistant formulas, so you can be sure that your makeup will stay put and protect! Tinted moisturizers are a trusty summer beauty staple that won’t budge, smudge or sweat off while you’re having fun in the sun this season!  Here are faves from the boutique that we’ll be sure to be sporting this summer!

Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?

Listen up beauties; are you getting enough vitamin D? Well, there are many misconceptions out there when it comes to getting your daily dose that often lead to blistering burns or even doing more harm than good! Today, most gals think soaking up the sun will in turn soak up those natural vitamins, however many pay the price with severe damage to their skin and ultimately their health! So it’s important to know that there are alternative means of getting that Vitamin D, including various foods like salmon, milk and mushrooms as well as supplements, chock full of those important nutrients. But lets be real, we can’t escape the sun and who can resist those gorgeous summer days ahead of us? So it’s just as important to ALWAYS have some regular sun safety. Applying an SPF should essentially be apart of any gal’s everyday beauty regimen. An everyday SPF formula all over your body, and even in addition to your beauty products is vital. It will protect the skin from the harmful rays, but still providing just the right amount of exposure for that natural dose of Vitamin D. In fact  it doesn’t take more than a half an hour for most individuals to absorb up their nutrients for the day! So no more baking under those harsh rays, go ahead and soak up that sun…just safely of course!

Here’s our favorite reliable sunblock that will be in our handbags for all day time occasions this summer, not just the beach!!

The Met Gala 2013 Fashion & Beauty Faves

So the Met Gala was this past Monday and we’ve finally narrowed down our favorite looks of the night! With punk as the theme we were so thrilled to see how the stars would interpret this motif with not only their fashion choices, but their beauty looks as well! From edgy, trendy to just flat out fabulous, these stars did not disappoint delivering nothing but ultimate punk perfection!

 

Jennifer Lopez

Now that’s how you do a faux-hawk! We all know that J.Lo is a glamour girl all-day, everyday, but that didn’t stop her from delivering some serious showstopping edge Monday night!  While Miss Lopez stayed true to form in an ultra glamorous animal print Michael Kors gown, she brought the edge with that killer updo’! And who said punk couldn’t be glam? Completely faux-hawk Fabulous!

Emily Blunt

Forget statement lips, Emily looked positively punk and totally on trend with her bright neon pink winged liner. With a classic black Carolina Herrera gown and a knotted up-do’, Emily Blunt definitely turned up edginess and showed us all how pink eyeliner is done! Even Anna Wintour herself was quoted saying “the color of punk is pink,” and what Wintour says goes! With some to die for Lorraine Schwartz dagger earrings to complete the look, Emily looked darring and dangerous!

Kristen Stewart

While I typically don’t like K.Stew’s red carpet looks, her deep maroon ensemble had me thinking twice! This Stella McCartney jumpsuit was stunning, different and still very feminine. I also really loved  the smoked out eye that used the same deep red color scheme as her jumpsuit! I thought it was just the right amount of edge that wasn’t too matchy-matchy. From her outfit, makeup and slicked back hair (plus those fab heels), K.Stew’s look was the pleasantly unexpected!

Lily Collins

 Lily Collins had the punk theme down pat as she donned a gorgeous Moschino gown complete with leather and lace (and not to mention some studs)! But the real winner of this look was her hair and makeup! Look at those eyes, amazing! Miss Collins was definitely not afraid to push the edginess as she left her lids bare, and softly defined the shape of her eyes with shadow. From the dramatic outlined wing to the blue streaks through her hair, I was completely obsessed with every detail of Lily’s look!

Cara Delevingne

Plunging neckline, some serious studs, a side braid, tousled hair, and finally the classic smokey eye? All we can say is Cara’s Met Gala look was flawlessly punk! From her beautiful Burberry gown, to those intense eyes, this look is the epitome of edgy, punk and even translatable for everyday wear. This look is perfect for a night out or even a walk down the aisle. So attention edgy brides, don’t be afraid of a little drama because this look is completely doable! From the on trend side swept hair, braided texture and always classic smoked out eye, this look is perfect for those looking for a little something extra (and thats why we love it)!

Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum was hands down my favorite of the night! From head to toe, this beauty was totally punky, funky chic! While Emmy stunned in an elegant silver Donna Karan Atelier gown, her edgy braided updo gave a beautifully textured balance to the look! But what really completed Emmy’s edgy ensemble were her dramatic winged out eyes. The strong and defined wing with a rusty colored undertone was breathtaking, dramatic and still soft!
