Blogs You Should Follow: Studs & Pearls
I thought it would be a great idea to begin a new little post topic of blogs our readers should check out. My first recommendation is Studs & Pearls.
As a lover of all things DIY, Kirsten at Studs & Pearls blows my freaking mind because her blog is purely DIY. Her vast creativity and ability to craft DIY tutorials accessible and do-able by every skill level is something I've always admired.
Here's a few of my favorite projects she's done:
(DIY Burberry studded trench)
(DIY statement rings from random found objects)
(DIY lanyard weave cuffs)
Check it out and bask in the cleverness!!
Love,
B

Natural Looking Lipstick
A great way to find a natural looking lipstick is to first identify the color of your naked lips.
Are they pinker? more beige? more golden?
Then, think about the color of your skin.
Are you a pinky (warm) or yellow (cool) or neutral undertone?
Once you have figured that out, you can go looking for complementary shades.
Try and find a shade that is close to the color of your lips
and that is in the same tone range as your skin.
Here are some of my favorites:
Pink lips, cool toned skin should go with golden pinks and soft rosy corals
MAC Shy Girl
Estee Lauder in Crystal Tiramisu
(estee lauder's crystal range is beautiful for a sheer, shimmery color thats not too glossy)
cool skin and golden lips go for caramels and peaches
Revlon Super Lustrous in Fleshtone
MAC freckletone
Warm skin and pink lips should go for true pinks
Estee Lauder in Crystal Baby
Revlon Superlustrous in Pink in the Afternoon
and neutrals can go either way!
MAC Cherish
Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
(looks dark, but goes on totally sheer and barely there)
