How To: Get Gorgeous Summer Gams + Giveaway


summertime is that dreaded time of year when your winter layers are shed (literally) and your entire body is exposed. for those of you who are body conscious as well as sun conscious, letting your legs do the talking/walking can be a bit intimidating. here are some tips on how to get your legs summer ready in no time (sans sunlight of course!)

listed below are the products you will need:


  • Too Faced Royal Oil - this coconut oil body bronzer is a temporary fix for pale legs. apply it for a quick and immediate golden bronze shimmer. body oil gives just the right amount of shine with added tint for smoother, glowing legs. it is seriously my secret to great legs - even when you can't workout and haven't seen a gym in few weeks er... months. (insider tip, add some of this to the ends of your hair for increased shine and moisture)
  • Nad's Bikini & Underarm Wax Strips - yes, you read that right, Nad's. these bikini and underarm wax strips changed my (summer) life! they're portable, they're easy to use and they work really well. pack them in your suitcase for quick touch-ups on vacay or keep a box at home for easy maintenance. smooth skin = great legs.
  • St. Tropez - i may be beating a dead horse recommending this self-tanner over, and over and over again, however, it is one of my favorite tanning products and i would be doing us both a disservice by not recommending it. the mousse formula applies evenly and dries to a deep bronze tan. no sun needed for bronzing.
  • BIC Soleil Bella Razors - this disposable takes disposable razors to a new level. the four blades give you a smooth clean shave, the pivoting head hugs the curves of your knees nicely, the moisture strip helps soothe the legs once finished and the rubber grip means no slipping in the shower.

Golden Globes Favorites


the Golden Globes brought us stars, fashion, makeup, heartfelt speeches and some major wins along with some major fails. for today's post i wanted to share some of my favorite Golden Globe makeup looks and who brought us these fabulous looks.

above is Marion Cotillard at the Golden Globes. looking stunningly gorgeous Marion Cotillard's makeup was designed by Tarte Cosmetic makeup artist Christophe Danchaud. because her Marion Cotillard's dress was so bold and gorgeous her makeup look was toned down to something fresh and natural. she nailed it.

Zooey Deschanel, one of my favorite actresses (formerly married to the one and only man on my 'list', Ben Gibbard - Death Cab For Cutie i will heart you always and forever) always keeps it light and fun. she made waves with her 'Film Strip' nails/mani but really rocked it with her red dress - an apparent color of choice for the evening - and 60's inspired makeup look, also created by Tarte Cosmetics.


while i didn't love Ms. Lucy Liu's dress - perhaps better suited as a couch cover? - i did love her makeup. NYX cosmetics created a pristine and classic makeup look because the Golden Globes is not the time to experiment. NYX cosmetic kept Lucy Liu's look flawless and perfect making her shine on the red carpet of the Golden Globes.



St. Tropez kept some of my favorite leading ladies looking amazing. Amy Poehler couldn't be any funnier and Connie Britton, need i say more? (shout out to #FridayNightLights - i'm a fan) Golden Globes are the time to rock a faux glow and St. Tropez hooked up Amy Poehler and Connie Britton with the perfect tint.


although i must say, not loving the cleavage. please, next time stay classy Ms. Poehler and opt for a cami.

last but not least was one of my favorite looks of the night, courtesy of Laura Mercier makeup. Claire Danes looked knock your socks off stunning on the red carpet of last night's Golden Globes. sticking with what seemed to be the theme of the evening - RED - her smokey eye and subtle lip were the perfect accent to her Golden Globe attire.


Angela Chase + Jordan Catalano 4ever

those were just a few of my favorite looks of the night. i'd love to hear your thoughts/reactions.
