I haven’t ever discussed makeup here because I found what works for me years ago and pretty much stick to it. Don’t get me wrong, I love makeup and can do a killer smoky eye. I love nothing more than wandering aimlessly through Ulta just checking everything out. But for my every day look I stick with what I know looks good.
Yesterday while I was looking through the latest issue of Allure, I found this little blurb about a new free smart phone app that L’Oreal has. It sounded intriguing so I immediately checked it out. Holy cow you guys! It is so freakin’ cool! It’s called Makeup Genius. All you do is hold your camera in front of your face and it scans you. Then you can “try on” all different kinds of lippies, eyeshadows, liners, etc. And it’s in real time and moves with you. It’s not a still photo of your face…once you have say a lip color on, you can smile and make weird faces and the color stays right there perfectly placed on your lips. It’s like your actually wearing it! I’m pretty sure I can waste hours of my life playing with it. I don’t typically wear L’Oreal makeup, but this app gives you a good idea what shades look good on you so you could then look for similar shades in other brands. A few of the lip shades looked really good so I might even give them a shot.
How about these sandals? I was scouting around for a pair of lace up gladiators and I found these little gems at TJ Maxx. I really love the lace up detail on these leopard print sandals so I wanted a pair of flats as well. Originally I was looking for nude or light brown, but I really liked the snake print so home with me they came. My kimonos have become my new cardigans. When I leave the house I typically grab one to throw over whatever I’m wearing. I knew my big kimono buying spree wouldn’t turn out to be a waste of money! One last thing, I don’t usually mention my jewelry, but I had to tell you this necklace came from Walmart. Yes. Walmart. Typically when an item makes it’s way to there that signifies the death of a trend. Fortunately for me I could give a damn about whether somethings trendy and $10 for a statement necklace makes me a happy girl.
