Have A Fantastic 4th!

It's the holiday weekend, and 4th of July is quickly approaching. I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't be more excited! There's nothing I love more than hot summer nights under the fireworks with the people I love. Not to mention, it's the only day I cheat and eat my hamburger on bun. Along with a bunch of other goodies I will refrain from mentioning, to not tempt anyone else towards my cheating ways! ;D I just wanted to make a sweet and simple post wishing you all a safe and wonderful weekend. Enjoy the fireworks and food, and remember to take a moment to appreciate your family and friends! After all, they are what make the holidays special. Well, and the cute outfit you wear to your parties ;) P.S. My outfit details can be seen below. Happy 4th of July, lovelies! <3

My New Rocksbox!

I've very much enjoyed being a Rocksbox ItGirl! A free customized box of jewelry sent to my house each month has been super duper (yes I said it) fun ;D This month, I recieved the gorgeous blue set featured below. My box contained a pair of gold Kendra Scott studs, a blue Perry Street statement necklace, and a blue Amelia Rose ring. My favorite piece out of the 3 was by far the Perry Street necklace! I've always been a "matchy matchy" person, so naturally I picked a blue dressy casual look to match! As for my look, all of my outfit details can be seen below! Just in case you admired my jewelry AND outfit ;) The way Rocksbox works, is that you are sent a box of designer jewelry for as little as $19 a month. By simply visiting their site and answering questions on your personal style, a team of stylists is able to pick 3 pieces to surprise you with. Once you recieve your box, you can wear your jewelry as much as you like until you are ready for a new set! You can also choose to purchase any of your items that you just can't live without! If you'd like your own box of rocks, visit www.rocksbox.com!

My Makeup Brush Set!

I'm no beauty guru, but boy do I appreciate quality makeup and beauty products! So when I was offered to be a brand ambassador for My Makeup Brush Set, I did not refuse! ;) If you haven't heard of them, they sell everything to fit your beauty needs, from makeup brushes, to cosmetics, to tool kits! They are best known for their oval brush set, specifically designed for contouring! The long, curved handle, and oval shaped brush is perfect for blending foundation, blush, or powder. I recieved it in the "Midas Gold Touch" gold, which I find funny because gold is my absolute favorite! You can also purchase the set in black, gold and black, or silver to fit your personality. I was sent a personal set to try and review for you lovely readers! To sum it up, I was very pleased with my results! While applying, I started from the center of my face and gently worked my way out in small, circular motions. It took a minute to get used to, but the curved handle truly does work well to blend in difficult areas, and bends with the shape of your face. I've also used plenty of different brands, but I've never seen so many bristles on a makeup brush before! The hairs were extrememly soft, and did not fall out like I've had many others do. They really worked well to blend my makeup evenly, without the appearance of my makeup just sitting on my face. They helped to achieve a very natural appearance, and I was happier with how my makeup turned out than I have been in awhile! So, if you are the queen of contour or would just like a professional look for a reasonable price, I'd highly suggest! For your own set, or their other products, visit www.mymakeupbrushset.com!
