Lily Collins was so beautiful on Abduction. My jaw literally dropped when she came on the screen. She was so gorgeous! (Obvious girl crushing on her right now)
 
Even though there was so much going on in this action flick, I could not stop noticing how amazing Lily Collins looked. Everything about her was so natural. From her tousled, beachy waves to her natural fresh faced makeup to her comfy clothing. And for obvious reasons, I included the brow kit!
 
These items I felt were perfect to get that effortless look.

Sigma Sigmax Brush Review!

So, I got the Sigma Beauty Synthetic Duo on the Sigma website a few weeks ago because they were on sale! It's a $32 value, so getting them for $24 was definitely a steal! I also used the 10% off code Sigma releases every month so including shipping, it   under $26!

About the Products: This duo comes with the F82 Round top Kabuki and the F84 Angled Kabuki. They're synthetic bristles and come from the Sigmax collection

My first impression: A lot smaller than I expected them to be even if I've seen a lot of the videos for them on YouTube. They were incredibly soft and dense. I knew they'd be perfect for any type of foundation (cream, powder, liquid, mineral for the round top) as well as powders like bronzer and blush!

Review: These brushes easily overtook my brush collection and I use them for EVERYTHING. The angled brush became my go-to foundation brush for my liquid foundation. It just leaves a flawless finish and is NOT streaky at all! Even when I mix my foundation with moisturizer. I also love using it for contouring because it makes everything look so natural since it blends so well. The round top brush was a lot smaller than I expected, but it's still a great brush. I use it to set my foundation and also use it with my Laura Mercier Mineral Powder! On occasion, I'll also use it to contour since it's so small and the perfect size for that as well.

I'm definitely going to buy the rest of the Sigmax face brushes and hopefully the eye brushes too! They're amazing quality and worth the investment. They're even better than the MAC brushes I've used and own!

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
$42 - nordstrom.com








Some of the biggest trends for summer are Cobalt & neon! Orange is the color of 2012, so I definitely had to bring that in the outfit too (not just because it's my favorite color (; ) I definitely brought back some older trends like color-blocking and bangles too. The shoes were definitely inspired by one of Aria's outfits on Pretty Little Liars where she was wearing bright yellow wedges to match her outfit and I loved it! Definitely a bold outfit and my first invention on polyvore, so let me know what you think!


Oh, and since I'm getting back into makeup, I thought I'd add what products I think would be great for this outfit. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation would be perfect since everything is bright and bold and you definitely want to look fresh-faced and natural.

Fashion Friday! : Turquoise Arm Party!

This is not my typical Fashion Friday where I show you a piece I'm really loving. I was really inspired by this challenge to try bracelet stacking. (Now, I'm not going to enter the challenge solely on the fact that I don't want to put the botton on my page.) So here's my twist on bracelet stacking featuring turquoise and earthy browns. These look really blue, that's just because I had no natural lighting and took them in my room, they're very turquoise in person though.

From left to right: Bangle (Gift bought in Santa Cruz), Turquoise Earthy Wrap Around Beaded Bracelet (Charlotte Russe 3 for $10), Turquoise Chunky Beaded Bracelet (Charlotte Russe 3 for $10), Brown Animal Print Beaded Bracelet (Won as a Poise/Posture Award in an Organization I'm in).
