Beauty by IndiePrepGirl

Hey Chica's,

It's BEAUTY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is brought to you by  IndiePrepGirl!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure you click the link and check out her blog and also check out her boutique Vintage Cupcake for the latest in UBER CUTE fashion and accessories!!! 


Using the products below or any similar colors that you may have and following the instructions below you to can experience the look of Effortless Glam!!!!!


NARS Laguna Bronzing Powder 


NARS Orgasm Blush


    MAC Woodwinked Eyeshadow


 Big Beautiful Eyes by Benefit






Chanel Lipgloss
 Fairy Drops Mascara




I started out with a clean face.  I cleanse with Cetaphil and moisturize with Virgin Coconut Oil.

1. I brush the bronzer all over my face.  I make sure to get my eyelids and neck area.
2. Blush definitely goes on the apples of my cheeks, the top of my forhead, a little on my nose, and hit the bottom of my chin.
3. I use the shimmery Mac Woodwinked eyeshadow to make my eyes pop.  Start on the inside of your eye, a little on your brow bone, and a little on the outer edge of your eye.  You'll def see a difference then.
4. Next I use the palette from the Big Beautiful Eyes set to do a natural shadow to easily blend in the shimmer from my brow bone and inside corner of my eye.  After that I groom my eyebrows and fill in the sparse parts with the brow shadow.  Its the darkest shade from that palette.
5. Next is mascara.  Some people just do two swipes and thats it, but I like to take my time and really coat the lashes.  If you are looking for some kind of natural looking lash extension, this mascara is for you.  It will thicken the lashes and makes the appearance of long, lush lashes once you're done.  Its a great brand if you are looking for that sort of thing.
6.  Last but not least, some shimmery pink lip gloss.  I listed the Chanel one because thats the one I use and love, but really any brand will do.




This is just what I do for everyday, of course sometimes I like to vamp it up with a cat eye liner or do a smoky eye depending on the mood and what type of day it it.  But I highly encourage people to experiment and see what works for them.  Sometimes, just going to the MAC store, Sephora, or a department store makeup counter and have them do a make over for you will help you get lots of cool ideas for make up.


You've seen my go-to look so what's your go-to look?

Swimsuit of the Week

Hey Chica's,


Everyone is always looking for that perfect bathing suit. The one that they can slide on without feeling dread and despair. The one that allows them to actually enjoy the sun without the  constant tugging and tucking. Chica's, I think I have found that suit.


There are many teeny tiny bathing suits, finding them is not a problem. Having time to work out five times a week and prepare overly healthy meals to achieve a bikini bod is. So, for the more realistic body types with curves, here is a bathing suit that you can drink a pina coloda in without feeling guilty. Mmmm, pina coloda.


This tummy tucking miracle suit is not only stylish, but literally has a panel around your mid-section to tuck you in! Ah, how the gains of modern science have truly helped us all!! The full coverage of the suit (including the backside) accentuate your hour glass figure while allowing you to be comfortable because everything is in place. As I discussed in my "Perfect Tank Top" post, the rouching and ruffle dead center only help in your quest to look more slender. When the material is bunched up as such, it detracts from any extra pounds you may have on your mid-section. The ruffle is drawing the eye to the center of your frame only again slenderizing your body. A wider sweetheart neckline is the perfect top to this figure flattering suit. It makes sure that "the girls" are in place while giving just a hint of cleavage. The key is to be comfortable, not hide your sex appeal!!!


With this great line of bathing suits going up to a size 16, it is appropriate for all curvaceous body types who want to get a little sun. The only thing that is not included is a big brim sun hat and spf 30!

Everyone Should Wear a Crown at Least Once

Hey Chica's,


We've all heard the saying a woman's hair is her crown so why not add some sparkle to your crown and shine brightly when you enter any room.  I am so feeling jeweled and embellished headbands.  Yes, these are not the headbands you swipe from your little sister because she will fail to notice them missing. These are uber sexy and chic headbands that are sure to bring out your inner diva no matter the hairstyle that you choose to wear for the day.


I'm so loving the ones that can be found at www.k-amato.com .  K-Amato, is chemist turned designer who designs GORGEOUS accessories.


          


I love these 4, even if my favorite metal accessories to wear are normally silver but these are so cute that i'll make an exception this time.


So no matter if you're rocking a twistout, messy bun, or even a ponytail add this headband to your look and you'll instantly become FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well Chicas,until next time remember to say NO to clothes and YES to FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will $39.95 find me the perfect pair of shoes?

Hey Chica's.

I was asked for my opinion on Shoe Clubs, okay we've all seen the commercials, or pop up ads on facebook for sites like Just Fab or Shoe Dazzle and the prospect of Kim Kardashian or some other celebrity stylist suggesting a pair of shoes for you may appeal to you but what you should be asking yourself is am I paying for quality or just the celebrity.

Yes, some of the shoes are CUTE but more often than not they are shoes that you can purchase from a number  of retailers for a cheaper price.  I've been tempted myself by a number of the shoes I've seen on these sites but I also noticed the fine print on the service.

Be aware that your credit card is charged the fee every month unless you click the link in your email that you want to skip a month.  Sure they say that the charge leads to a credit in your shoe account but lets be honest for a moment $40 a month adds up extremely quickly.

I've had several friends that have joined these services and have been disappointed and I have tried on the shoes that they have received and I would rate the quality and comfort a 5.2 out of a possible perfect 10.

I suggest that instead of a shoe service that you browse DSW or Macys they both offer a wide selection of shoes and the CLEARANCE section is PURE HEAVEN on the 15th of each month! 

Ultimately the finals decision is yours whether or not you join a shoe service but I do propose that you look at what they're offering and find a shoe in a similar style.

You will see below that I have searched and found similar shoes and noted the price beside one.

  Shoe Dazzle 39.95 

 $19.99 @ Payless

 Shoe Dazzle $39.95

Madden Girl Banor Pump @DSW $29.95

 Shoe Dazzle $39.95

 Two Lips Roy Pump @DSW $29.95

Makeup Look of the Day: Caribbean Sunset Eyes

Hey Chica's,


 The trend for summer is a really BOLD eye with a nude or natural lip and quite a few chica's want to use bold eye shadow colors for the summer but are afraid they can't pull it off. 


It is my pleasure to showcase  Raven, who demonstrates that BOLD colors are not just for clothing. 


Chica's never be afraid to try a new color, if you're scared then start by blending the color with brown until you work up the courage to wear it alone.  









This look was obtained using the following products:


Eyes

120 Manly Eyeshadow Palette
Wet n Wild Gel Eyeliner in Black
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black
L'Oreal Telescopic in Black (Lower water line)

Brows

Jordana Khol Plum Eyeliner Pencil

I'm BACK to bring you a couple of SMOKING HOT manicure trends i'm LOVING all thanks to Pinterest  if you haven't heard of Pinterest then you've obviously been living under water! I digress now back to MANICURES.. I'm an advocate of keeping your hands and feet in tip top shape, so keep scrolling and you'll see my picks to keep your nails in DIVA status for the summer!

Monochromatic Look.... you can either do this at home or head to a local nail salon.

The Ombre you can do this in a wide range of colors.!

Caviar Nails... Loving this trend... You can hit up a local nail salon and pay $50 to get them done or you can simply go to a local craft store and buy caviar beads in a color of your choice and then buy a complimentary nail polish color.

Color Blocking.... If you can color block an outfit why not your nails.

5/22/12 Outfit of the day

Meet Tequisha, who looks lovely in Black!   She has on a lovely Black Shirt Dress paired with black sandals and a simple gold necklace!

Make a STATEMENT by putting your best foot forward

We've all heard of statement jewelry  but have you ever given any thought to a statement shoes ? You read that correctly statement shoes!


I believe every FASHION lover should have a pair to accentuate a black, cream, or taupe outfit or even throw an added splash of color to any outfit just because you can after all FASHION is not about everything matching!


Statement shoes are not for the timid, they are for the individual that demands attention as soon as they step into any social or professional setting! 


I came across a couple of pairs that i'm adding to my collection and I would be traitor to my chica's if I didn't share them with you!  If you see a link below, clicking it will take you directly to the shoe displayed!  


The shoes I chose all feature a bold pattern or color because that's what i'm into at the moment . 


Well chicas. until next time remember to say NO to clothes and YES to FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
