Cotton/Silk Raindrop Print Shirt

I love the warm weather but unfortunately, what I love to wear during the Summer is just not work appropriate. I work in an office environment so I have to dress pretty professionally. It's always a challenge having to find clothes that I can wear to work while still keeping nice and cool. I've found Ann Taylor is a place I can find chic, professional attire. I just purchased this top and can't wait to wear it this coming week. If you find you're in need of work clothes, visit Ann Taylor.

Essie Van D' GO

Right now I am loving this coral nail polish by Essie. The color is Van D' Go and it goes perfect with my Nars Taj Mahal and Laura Mercier Bellini lipgloss. You should definitely pick this up. If you know of a good place to order Essie from online, let me know by commenting.

NARS Taj Mahal

I FINALLY obtained NARS Taj Mahal blush. I have been looking at this blush for the past 3 months. I checked out a review on YouTube by Nurberxo who swears this blush looks good on any skin tone. You can check out her review by clicking here. Even though it looks awesome on her, I still had my doubts. I went to my local Nordstroms who has a display of all their blushes. I swatched it onto the top of my hand and it still seemed to bright for me. Then I came across Michele1218's review and I decided to go in for the plunge. I love all the items and products she recommends so I figured if she was saying it looked good on all skin tones, then she must be right. You can view Michele's review here. I went back to Nordstroms to purchase it and just my luck... they didn't have it. They were completely out. I was so bummed but I took myself home and ordered it online. This color seriously DOES look good on any skin tone. The trick is not to over apply as it is extremely pigmented. It's definitely the blush I'm using this summer.

Laura Mercier Eyelash Curler

I've been pretty unsatisfied with my eyelash curler for quite some time. I never found it to be quite comfortable and there was a lot of pinching. I had to constantly be extra careful and if I was in a hurry, forget about it, I knew I was in for pinching then.

I had searched online for a good eyelash curler and not one particular brand stood out. The other day I was at my local Laura Mercier counter and came across their eyelash curler. It looked so different than all the others I've seen that I decided to purchase it on the spot. That's pretty unlikely of me. I usually read up on reviews and see what others think of the product. With Laura Mercier however, I've never been dissatisfied with their products.

I tried it for the first time today, and I really like it. I tossed my other eyelash curler straight in the trash. This eyelash curler allows you to get all your lashes and get really close to the lid without pinching. If you'd like to read more reviews, click here.

Bellini

I am in love with this lipgloss by Laura Mercier. The color is Bellini and it's a soft coral. It looks super natural and I think it's great a great summer color. Generally in the summer I tend to go more natural with my colors since I'm outside a lot more and generally a bit tanned. I highly recommend this. Another plus? It leaves your lips hydrated.

Shellac Day 9

To prove how great this product is, I thought it would be nice to snap some pictures of what my nails look like now. Today is day 9 and as you can see, no chipping. Score! Next Tuesday is when I get my manicure redone. I think I'll try Tropix color next.
