Summertime face, hair and some jeans I am loving!

Everyday Summer Face and Hair:

HAIR:
A very high bun! That is mostly all I have been doing this summer, boring...I know...but...it's quick, easy and perfect for this heat! ...every now and then I'll do a loose french braid or leave it down after it has dried au natural!

FACE:

Same goes for the makeup, something every light, breathable and easy! And almost everything is drugstore!

My go to products have been:

Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder
A light dusting all over the face

Rimmel Natural Matte Bronzer
In the hallows of the cheeks, temples, jaw line and a little down the neck. (Perfect for making those cheekbones pop)

Maybelline Brightener under the eye.
I will use this product forever!!

Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara
Sometimes a single coat, sometimes a few :)

MAC Dollymix
This is what I am wearing in the picture above, although I change my blushes up daily. It is very pigmented, so I usually use a light hand.

MAC Girl About Town
Very Bright Fuschia, perfect paired with a light eye.

...And a little smudged eyeliner on the top lash line. I have been using an Avon liner.

Recent Jeans Purchases That I Am Loving:

They are all Miss Me Jeans and can be found Here. I got them at a local boutique for 50% off!!

Denim Brand Basic Signature M Skinny

Multi Color Abstract Stich M Boyfriend Capri

March IN and OUT

I love reading in's and out's on blogs and in magazines! Here are a few of my own!

In:

Longer days!
-I am loving the extra daylight and the opportunity to walk the dogs longer! I know they are enjoying it so much too!

Warmer Weather!
- Loving the 80 degrees and the spring clothes! We didn't have much of a winter, but this time of year is so beautiful!

Lighter makeup!
-Heavy makeup is a no-no for me in the summer. A little foundation, concealer, mascara, blush lip gloss and I'm good to go!

Salads!
-Spring/summer is a time to experiment with new salads for me! With all these fruitsand veggies in season it makes for countless options.

Sandals!
-As much as i LOVE boots, they have their time and place and right now it's time to put them away and break out the sandals!

Driving With all the Windows Down!
-Love the warm breeze ~~tangling~~ blowing my hair! So refreshing and freeing! It puts me in the happiest mood! TRY IT!

Birch Box!
-Getting that little pink box in the mail once a month brings so much joy to my month! :)

Out:

Rain
-We have been getting a little rain...I'm over it! Keep the sunshine coming!

Chocolate
-I missed it for the first few weeks of lent...now I hardly think of it! (that's what i keep telling myself)

Tons of Mascara
-I'm loving the single coat, very fresh and feminine, perfect for spring!

Dress pants at work
-It's skirt and dress time of the year for me!! :) (*Need new maxi's! Spring shopping it is!)

What's your IN's and OUT's? I would love to hear them!

Have a great Week!

Face of the Month/ Go-To Products

For the New Year, I have been trying to keep my everyday, weekday makeup pretty minimal, just alternating blushes and a variety of gloss and lipstick, although NARS Greek Holiday shows up often:) Everything else; foundation, mascara, concealer and eye liner remain the same. Here are my go-to products lately!
