Makeup Wars: Favorite Summer Eye Look.

/

Summer is here and I am lightening up when it comes to certain things about my makeup. I switch out foundation for tinted moisturizer and wear mainly lip gloss. But for my eyes, it's all about bonze and golds to go with my favorite bronzed summer look. This year, my favorite summer eye look includes an unexpected twist - green liner.

My look is simple and easy and only requires one palette -- the MAC Bare My Soul palette from this years Temperature Rising Collection.

To create the look, I start by lining my eyes with the shade When In Rio, which is the green color. It turns a bit copper colored as it is blended in, and it has really become a favorite shade of mine this year. I next apply Bare My Soul, the frosted gold shade, on my browbone and the very inner corner of my eye. On my lid, I use Romantico which is a gorgeous taupe color with a hint of bronze to it. I finish off the look with Friendly, the deep chocolate bronze shade, and blend that into my crease.

I am much better about it in the summer when I do use it everyday. I simply use it in place of daily lotion after I shower in the morning. Easy.

I recently posted about 10 great sunscreens that work really well for me. Out of all of those, I do have a favorite. I used it last summer after I initially received a sample of it, and I just bought two tubes to start of this summer. My favorite sunscreen? L’Oréal Paris Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen SPF 50+ Lotion.

L’Oréal Paris Sublime Sun is a great line of sunscreen products for both face and body and L’Oréal Paris Sublime Sun SPF 50+ Lotion is perfect for me. It offers a high SPF of 50 that lasts on me all day for everyday use. Of course, if I am at the beach or pool, I do reapply it every few hours. That is not

Makeup Wars: My Favorite Waterproof Makeup.

/

When it comes to summer makeup, I have three waterproof products that are a must for me: waterproof mascara, waterproof eye liner and waterproof bronzer. I think it is pretty obvious when it comes to waterproof mascara and liner; eye makeup that is sweating or smearing off is just not pretty. But I also HATE it when I have bronzer running down my cheeks, so a waterproof bronzer is also essential.

Here it is, my favorite waterproof makeup.

Waterproof Mascara

I am so picky about mascara that picking a waterproof version has seriously proved difficult for me. I either love them or hate them and just don't have the lashes to waste because so many of the waterproof version are very rough on eyelashes. When I discovered Anastasia Lash Genius, I swear my life
