perfect.

I had to post these pictures because I have never seen pictures so pretty!

Perfect hair and makeup.

kate spade lipstick

These new Kate Spade lipsticks are so cute and I definitely want the Pop Art Pink.

I'm not a huge fan of Kate Spade, but I love the way the store here is decorated so much that I always stop in when I'm at Northpark. I love this pink canvas ampersand they have on the wall.

the beauty department

As if it wasn't thrilling enough that LC is on the new allure...

Today she launched a beauty website called the beauty department! It's a hair and make up how-to site she is doing with her hairstylist and make up artist. One of their first posts was on Kate Hudson, this is to good to be true!

tainted love

Thanks to Thao I have this new Nars Tainted Love set.

I love these new colors!

this actually works

I read about this product in the July issue of Lucky and immediately bought some to try. The magazine said if you put it under your eyes it will "make your concealer go on 1000 times better and your eyes look 1000 times less crinkly" Since everyone at work is always telling me I look tired or asking if I'm allergic to something, I thought it might help around my eye area. I started using it Monday and it actually works! I really notice a difference and love the consistency of it. Plus you can get it at Target and it's only $10.99.

summer glow

I almost didn't do this post after recently seeing some pictures of myself at a friends birthday party where my coloring looked crazy! I felt completely ridiculous giving "summer glow" tips! I decided to go ahead with it and attribute the awful pictures to bad lighting and the room being really hot.

So here it is....

About 8 years ago I became crazy about taking care of my skin. I felt really guilty for all those years of tanning beds and lifeguard jobs. Since I do not get out in the sun without putting on major sunscreen....here is how I get a little color on my face.

Exfoliate with Kate Somerville ExfoliKate and apply Quench. These are kind of expensive, but totally worth it. They really work and last forever.

I love Soleil Tan de Chanel for bronzer because it's not to shiny and the color isn't muddy. Then of course pink lipgloss! I am currently loving Nars Easy Lover and Estee Lauder Wild Orchid.
