The Polka Dot Mini

Today's post is short & sweet because I'm feelin' a little lazy, ha.  Hey, I'm just being honest!  I've been working mad hard so I'm exhausted - hopefully you guys will cut me some slack.  I promise to recharge this weekend and step up my game next week.  Anywho, I styled a classy yet fun look for you guys today on SS.  I centered my OOTD around my new Limit 33 polka dot mini!  This adorable piece is available HERE for $12.99.  The quality's comparable to Forever 21 in case you're wondering.

I paired it with a chic crop courtesy of Almost Famous Clothing and topped the look off with a hat I picked up at Arth last year. If you visit NYC anytime soon, I highly recommend checkin' out Arth Hats!  Their collection is vast so you're bound to find something you love.  Honestly, I was never a big hat person but that all changed when I shopped their boutique.

Byron Mars Beauty Mark

I can't WAIT to tell you guys about today's post!  Since it's Fri-YAY, I styled a fancy OOTN for y'all - featuring Byron Lars Beauty Mark. Byron Lars started designing under his own label in 1991, and after only his second season in business, Women's Wear Daily hailed B as "Rookie of the Year."  His line was immediately picked up by prestigious retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks and Bloomingdale's.  This incredible party dress is pricey, but it's worth EVERY penny.  The design's one of a kind, and it looks amazing on women of ALL ages.

Since the dress itself is so breathtaking, I kept things simple!  I accessorized with a simple silver clutch and threw on pearls courtesy of The Peach Box - available here for $28.

Just look at that design!  This piece is def. one of the most beautiful items I own.  It's like a piece of art.

July Beauty Favorites: Part 1

I'm excited to tell you guys all about my current fave beauty must-haves!  I'll be sharing Part 2 later this summer so stay tuned.

 

1.  When Sheet Masks - These babies are expensive ($7 a piece) but worth it IMO.  I've tried 2 out of 5 (Makeup Base and 10:00 PM), and I'm obsessed to say the least.  The former prepares your skin, giving it an even tone and supple look.  I recommend using it for special occasions because your skin will look AMAZING - I'm talkin' serious glow factor.  It contains hyaluronic acid and ginseng extracts to keep skin healthy and collagen + peptides to improve elasticity.  

The latter is obviously used at night.  When your skin's feeling AND looking a bit "eh", use this to rejuvenate and restore.  Like the MB mask above, this product contains hyaloronic acid and ginseng extracts, but instead of peptides, it contains watermelon extract to improve elasticity.  Both masks are individually packaged and contain ONE soft sheet mask.  Each mask is made from coconut juice and is infused with a light, non-greasy, non-sticky serum.  It's formulated without paragons, sulfates, or phthalates, and the product's vegan & gluten-free.  

I know it's pricy, but if you're looking spoil yourself one night, definitely try this out!  I promise you'll love the results.  Put this baby on for 30 min and see serious results.  Your face will feel like a baby's bum, ha!

2.  Emjoi's Micro-Pedi - I've always had issues with my feet.  They're super tough and gross-looking so I have to take special care of them.  I usually exfoliate with pumice in the shower, but I don't think I can go back to that because Emjoi's Micro-Pedi is a serious upgrade - thank you for sending me this item to review.  My feet now look AND feel great!  

This baby was introduced just a few years ago, and it's already sold millions on QVC worldwide.  This handy tool requires two AA batteries and features a unique micro mineral roller that spins 30 times a second to painlessly break up, buff, and remove dry, rough, hardened skin from the soles of the feet in the matter of minutes.  It's the ONLY motorized callous remover to have the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance.  Make sure you guys pick one up STAT!  They're available HERE for $39.95 + free same day shipping.  

3.  Covergirl's Intensify Me! Liquid Liner - OMG! I'm in LOVE with this liquid liner.  I used to ONLY use Stila's liner ($20), but I'm on team CG now.  For $8.99, you can get a product that works JUST as well.  It gives you the control of a pencil with the intensity of a liquid liner for defined eyes. The tip is paddle-shaped so you can execute two lines: thick vs. thin.  It glides on mad smoothly and dries quickly so you don't need to worry about smudging.
