Friday Faves!

Luminude // Lip Fondant // Brush // Mascara // Bag

Gettin' pink and girlie today for Friday Faves haha! Ok so if you haven't noticed yet, I absolutely LOVE the bags that my samples come in from Ipsy. I promise, this is not sponsored...I just love the subscription so much! Seriously, look into it!

 Anyways, This pink bag is another of my faves from Ipsy. The best thing about it (besides how freakin' cute it is) is that it's tall enough for my brushes to fit in. I traveled to Dallas last week and you better believe I took this beauty to hold all my long skinny brushes. The inside is lined with a nice light pink fabric that is easy to clean. The outside has a mesh type black material over the top of the pink fabric and the back is a soft pink suede. Top it off with a rose gold zipper and you have one of the cutest makeup bags ever!




This next product is something I would have never gotten for myself if I hadn't tried it in my Ipsy bag samples. It's FABULOUS! Luminude by Seraphine Botanicals is a skin illuminator that gives you a beautiful glow without feeling heavy or cakey. You just apply a little bit to your cheekbones, temples, and cupids bow and that's it! It's so easy to use, comes off easily, and doesn't damage your skin. I love it!



 Ok so I normally don't wear much on my lips because I don't want to worry about reapplying during the day or smudging it on things, but for this product I would make an exception! The shade (Low Key) of this Lip Fondant from Caked Makeup is perfect and it goes on so smoothly! Most of the time you don't want to hear that something is hard to get off, but in this case it's a good thing. This fondant doesn't come off easy which means you aren't constantly worried about smudging or cracking or fading. It comes in twelve shades and I'm pretty sure I need to try all of them!




I've talked about my Luxie brushes in other Friday Fave posts, but I just recently added this Angled Shading Eye Brush (#207) to my collection and it's awesome! Once again, the bristles are super soft and flexible, yet able to hold product. It's the perfect size and I love the fun color! I have yet to be disappointed by any of their brushes, so if you're curious...try 'em out!



So this last product may not be for everyone, just throwin' that out there! It has mixed reviews, but I like it! I guess it really depends on your eyelashes and what you want out of a mascara (i.e. length, volume, thickness, etc.) I personally like this Fabulous Flocking Lashes Mascara by The Beauty Crop because it goes on smoothly and actually coats my lashes well. I always "seal" my lashes with another mascara anyways, so I use this as a base to coat them well. And the packaging is adorable...I'm obsessed with flamingos right now! Just be sure you read about the product and reviews before you buy it to make sure it's what you're looking for!


I hope you all have a FABULOUS Friday and an even better weekend!!

Playing Catch Up: June (Plumb Family Vaca)

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND

How to Build a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall
