Beautiful Blushes

Hey Lads,

        Well, Monday is over and now we can breathe that sigh of relief. As everyone waits out hurricane Sandy, why not read about some fun and gorgeous blushes that I'm loving right now.

         Blush is to winter as bronzer is too summer. In the summer, you want to have an effortless warm bronzy glow. In the winter, you want a pale yet flushed rosey look. Since the mercury is plummeting, let's talk blush. At this moment in time I am using 3 main blushes. Here is a roundup of these three:

The babydoll pink

The look- This bright pink color will make you look like a living doll.

When to avoid - You want to avoid these kinds of color when you are experiencing a blemish around the cheek area. The pigment will surround the blemish causing it to appear more red.

My favorite - Hard Candy in Living Doll (Coincidence?)







The Peachy glow

The look - This peachy shade will give you that summer glow, even in the dead of winter.

When to avoid - Sometime we wake up with yellow tones in our skin. These are the days we should avoid this peachy tone as it will wash out the natural coloring in our skin.

My favorite - Hard Candy in Skinny Dipping







The Rosey Glisten

The look- This rosey shade will give you a natural flush all year round.

When to avoid - Perhaps again when you are experiencing a blemish.

My favorite - Nars in Orgasm








So, those are some of my favorite blushed of the moment. You know, I believe that blush is way underrated because I feel like sometimes people think they can just skip it. I firmly believe that you don't want to leave the house without your blush, even if it's just a dab on the apples of your cheeks. Blush takes your makeup to a whole different level, You went from being that tanned girl on the beach to that foxy tanned girl on the beach or pale girl on the bunny hill (yes, as in the ski hill for kids) to that living doll tumbling down the bunny hill. Yes, blush does have that much impact in my opinion. Don't believe me, try it! And send me pix. :D

Speaking of pix, here are some pix of my new China Glaze called Pizazz (over black polish).

Sidenote: Cure for the summertime blues

Hey Beach babes,

          Well it's Friday ladies and that means the weekend is at our fingertips. That could spell BBQ with the family, shopping, cleaning and for some it could mean going to the beach. Isn't it lovely to lay out your towel in the warm sand and just laying there doing absolutely nothing? How can you be blue when you just get to soak up the sun all day? Sometimes life has you down and you just need to do something for yourself. For some of us who may not get a chance to go the beach this weekend and have to work, the summer can be cruel. To brighten up a Beauty Queens mood all you need to give her is some bright polish. In light of this conversation I went out and bought a new China glaze color from the 'Summer Neon' collection called 'Flirty Tankini'. It's a really fun pink with a pearly look to it. I fell madly in love when I saw it. Here are a few pics of my nails:

The pics make the color look orange but it is defiantly pink! :P You can pick this color and a ton of others at Sally Beauty Supply. Happy June everyone and have a great weekend!

Love,
Sarah
