Beauty Quickie: If you prep your skin properly then your makeup will stay gorgeous and right where you want it. A clean face goes a long way in making sure your makeup looks stunning. Never apply more makeup over day old cosmetics and be sure to cleanse your skin morning and nightly. This is an important step because the elements i.e. sun/wind can cause oils to be produced and oil in turn breaks down your makeup. Help control oils and dirt by cleansing your face regularly.

Help! My Natural Scrub Is Too Rough!
Natural body scrubs are a great way to get smooth, glowing skin right in time for summer. However, various salts or sugars are coarser in texture than others and can feel a bit too rough. Depending on your skin using very coarse materials or elements may not be necessary in order to slough off a particular area’s dry or dead skin.
For instance, raw sugar is coarser than brown sugar and tends to need more oil added to the scrub to prevent a shredding feel. Body scrubs should never feel as though they are doing more damage than good. Moreover, if your homemade scrub is feeling a tad bit rough on your skin you can also consider mixing in honey to add moisture.
Fashion Quote June 4th 2015
“Music to me is so internal. It’s physical and it’s emotional. Whereas fashion is so much about the external that it’s almost like a break. It’s not inner turmoil. It’s total escapism.”
-Florence Welch

The No Makeup-Makeup Look
Designer Christopher Kane has teamed up this year with Nars to create a collection to help women achieve the runway beauty look that his models are known for… the bare face. The collaboration with Nars is said to include color, well Christopher Kane’s version of color which is subtle and simple. Such simplicity of makeup ensures that the natural beauty of women is clearly seen and not masked by layers of cosmetics and tints. Christopher Kane says,
“Nars has been a long-standing and valued partner of ours, so this collaboration was an obvious fit. Nars has the same unapologetic aesthetic that is signature to the Christopher Kane brand…I’m excited to share what we’ve created together.”

Mara Hoffman showed us all how to do summer hair and beauty right! Model’s tresses were big and voluminous due to stunning chic waves.

Peepers also received a slight pop of color via eyeliner, the Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Emerald. A bit of bronzer was used over foundation to make skin glow and then the look was completed with a peach lip stain.
