Lyrics of the Day
When the sun goes down
when the lights burn out
then its time for you to shine
brighter than a shooting star
shine no matter where you are
fill the darkest night
with a brilliant light
cuz it's your time to shine
brighter than a shooting star
shine no matter where you are.
-Shooting Star by Owl City-

brighter than a shooting star

Summer Look
Summer weather has finally hit our area. It seems too good to be true, but after nearly a week of 80 degree weather, it's safe to say that SUMMER IS HERE! (Yay!!!! :D) Summer means beachy waves, bright colors, shorts and tank tops. It can be downright hard to look cute in the heat, though. Don't worry, Princess is here to help!
What I do for my hair: Sunny days can wreck havoc on damaged locks. To repair and prevent damage, I recommend using the Garnier Fructis line. I usually use the shampoo and conditioner, but recently I started using the leave in stuff on my ends as well. I shampoo my hair once, condition it once with only a small bit of conditioner and massage it all over my scalp and ends, then rinse it out. I follow it by coating the ends of my hair with conditioner, twist it up and clip it up for a while and then rinse it in cold water. It works really well and leaves my hair SUPER soft! Finally, I put my hair up in a towel, let it dry a bit, put in a leave in conditioner on the ends and spray my hair with flat iron spray. It seems SUPER complicated, but really it's not, I promise. :)
For beachy waves: Skip the flat iron spray and instead, spray your hair with Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray. Scruch it until you begin to see waves and let your hair dry naturally. Viola, perfect beach waves with zero effort!
Easy beachy makeup: Effortlessly gorgeous makeup starts with beautiful skin. After washing your face, apply a BB cream. Let it soak in while you apply your eye makeup. I like to put a natural, matte shadow all over my eye and then apply a little cream colored shimmery highlight to my browbone. Then, I line the top lashline with a golden coppery color and line the bottom lashline with a teal color. I finish off the look with a brown mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
Now, on to the skin. If possible get a whipped mousse foundation. If you can't get your hands on that, (they ARE quite pricey) you can use a regular liquid foundation of your choice. Instead of using your fingers or a foundation brush, use a coarse blush/powder brush to dab the makeup on your skin. Pat to blend. Set it with a loose powder and you'll have amazing skin! Use a pink or peachy-pink blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend toward the hairline. Complete the look with a pinky-nude gloss and you're done!
That's it for this post. Stayed tuned for my next post on staying modest in Summer weather.
Until Next Time,
