{Glam} Indian Princess

I ran around the campfire excitedly with finger paint smeared across my rosy, chubby cheeks, as the feathers hanging from my hair traveled shortly behind me. Okay, you caught me.

{Glam} Beat the Heat

July 1, 2012 in Glam: Style & Trends

The upcoming days seem promising to fulfill our longing for warm summer nights, less layers, and bare legs. At last! But, as we all know the summer heat comes with a price. Humidity becomes a menace to our once well styled locks, morning make-up melts in moments, and perspiration…well, it just isn’t pretty.

Don’t sweat it! It’s easy to beat the heat with a few style and beauty fixes!

1. Lighten-Up. Skip the heavy foundation and opt-in for a tinted moisturizer. Right now, I am loving Garnier’s Skin Renew BB Cream.

2. Go Natural. Known to over-pack even for the quickest of weekend trips, I adventurously chose to leave all of my hair tools and products at home. Live a little and give it a try. Summer isn’t about hiding in the bathroom for an hour fixing your hair when it is going to frizz the moment you step outside.

3. Make it stick. Switch to smudge-proof, water resistant mascara and eyeliner for warm nights out. Or, skip the eye make-up all-together and really show your beauty!

4. Dress It Up. In the summer, I stow away my boots and denim for many, many dresses. Floral, printed, solid, mod, color block, short, long, flouncy, fitted…the list is endless! Dresses are elegant, romantic, and a perfect way to keep cool.
