    Spring and Summer Makeup Bag Must Haves

    Hey lovelies!!! I’m so excited that it is spring time and I can’t wait for summer! I’m ready for some sand, sun, margaritas and beach fun. To kick off the warmer weather, I thought I would share “What’s in my makeup bag”! If you’re as nosey as I am you’ll love to see my holy grail spring and summer makeup items I tote around with me on the daily! All items are oily skin and black girl friendly. I hope you all enjoy!

    Face Essentials

    1. The Lip Bar’s 3-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer

    We want to keep that skin in tact so we can’t skip the SPF ladies. Just A Tint 3-in-1 Tinted Skin Conditioner with SPF is a sun protector, skin perfector and skin moisturizer all in one. Save yourself some time and grab this 3-in-1 Tinted moisturizer from The Lip Bar. I love that it doesn’t have that sunscreen smell nor does it leave that horrible white cast on your skin. We don’t want to be looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost in our pics ladies.

    2. The Lip Bar Fast Face Kit

    If you are always on the go then this Fast Face Kit is for you. I usually don’t have an hour to spend putting on makeup so this kit is perfect. This easy to use makeup kit is curated by complexion and it comes with foundation, face pallete, brows, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. Grab your Fast Face Kit here. I absolutely love how simple it is to use this kit.

    Eye Essentials

    3. The Lip Bar Exact Arch Brow Pencil and Quick Draw 2-In-1 Brow Pencil

    I’m not stepping out of the house if my brows aren’t on POINT!!! Let’s face it, brows can make your face pop if the are defined. The Exact Arch brow pencil and the Quick Draw 2-in-1 brow pencil can make maintaining your brows super easy. The Exact Arch brow pencil is beginner friendly and very easy to use. The Quick Draw 2-in-1 Brow pencil is easy and a breeze to fill in your brows. Grab them here.

    4. The Lip Bar Lash Flash Strengthening Mascara

    I love some popping lashes. However, for those of us who do not constantly wear lash extensions and opt for a more natural look, then this Lash Flash Strengthening mascara is for you. It is a superfood mascara infused with Green Tea Extract to condition your lashes while promoting healthier, stronger lashes over time for a longer, healthy-looking set of lashes. The wand is also small so you can coat each lash with mascara. Grab it here.

    Lip Essentials

    5. The Lip Bar Lipsticks and Lip Glosses

    I loveeeeee The Lip Bar’s highly pigmented matte lip glosses and lipsticks. Especially now that we are wearing masks, I need my lipstick to STICK!!! When I realized that The Lip Bar’s matte lipstick doen’t rub off when I put on my mask, I was sold. I love red lipstick so my favorite is “Hot Mama”! Don’t arrive to your destination with your lipstick looks busted and disgusted grab yours today. Grab some here.

    I hope you all enjoyed the low down of what’s in my makeup bag for the Spring and Summer!

  • 4 Ways to Fashionably Style a Sleeveless Trench Jacket

    4 Ways to Fashionably Style a Sleeveless Trench Jacket

    We have all fallen in love with the new Sleeveless Trench Jacket Trend. I have several textures in several colors. Here are 4 Ways to Fashionably Style a Sleeveless Trench Jacket with pieces you may already have in your closet. Let’s get into these details.

    1. As a Dress

    Styling the Sleeveless Trench as a dress can be a cute date night look. Because it’s winter time I decided to layer an off-the-Shoulder crop top under the jacket and style it with a pair of black sock booties.

    2. As a Dress with a belt

    Wearing the sleeveless trench jacket looks is even better with a belt. Any belt will do for this look. The sleeveless trench jacket shown is a brown rust color. I choose a leopard print belt from a collection of three belts I got for less than $20 from Amazon (linked above).

    3. With Leggings

    Ladies you can throw on a pair of leggings or leather leggings to sport with this look. If you are going out with your girlfriends you can add a cute over-the-shoulder bag and a pair of block heel booties.

    4. With Jeans and Sneakers

    Lastly, you can also style your sleeveless trench with a denim shirt, black distressed jeans and leopard sneakers.
