Accessorize Your Quarantine Look

I’m not sure about you, but my wardrobe hasn’t been too exciting lately. I’m still working from home which means sitting at my computer all day long. I have so many pretty work appropriate dresses just sitting in my closet, but I can’t bring myself to wear them right now. I know, some fashion blogger I am. But the one thing that I have been embracing during this quarantine time at home are accessories.

I have been wearing bold lips, earrings (I even opened up some semi-closed earring holes as a quarantine project), and headbands. I think headbands are the easiest thing you can throw on to jazz up any look.

This satin headband I just picked up from J.Crew is so adorable. Not only is it my favorite color combo (red and pink!), but the bow can bend and move. How fun is that!?!? So the next time you are dressed down (errr…tomorrow?) and your hair is a mess try throwing on a cute headband instead of putting your hair up in a ponytail. It will definitely elevate your style!

Cheeky Physique: Sublime Uplift

It’s no secret that I think it is imperative to take care of your skin and to start doing so at a young age. For years now I have been using sheet masks, jade rollers, eye creams, and staying out of the sun. But one part of my body I haven’t really been paying special attention to is my neck and upper chest area. I’m 38 years old and I want to keep all my skin firm and free of sagging for as long as possible. So when Cheeky Physique reached out to me with a sample of their new Sublime Uplift Neck and Decollete Firming Serum I couldn’t wait to try it.

This product is filled with extract from Shiitake mushrooms, hyaluronic acid, and tripeptide-5. What I love most is that it’s not at all greasy or sticky…and you can feel it tightening and working almost right away.

Cheeky Physique’s Sublime Uplift retails for $36 and is available at www.cheekyphysique.com.

Before you know it summer sandal season will be here. With all the walking I do in NYC I sometimes need a little help keeping my footsies soft and crack free. I tried this Arm & Hammer Foot Care Moisturizer + Gentle Exfoliators and my feet have never looked better.

Hard Candy Be Bold Glitter Mascara

Hard Candy sent over some of their new Be Bold mascara line for me to try out. Their new bold colored and glitter mascaras come in 10 great shades. Here I'm trying out their two glitter top coats in Shooting Star and Disco Ball.

Samples were provided, but this review is my own personal opinion on the products.

Shown above I'm wearing Shooting Star. I thought it would be best to use this hue in a daytime look. The sparkles were very subtle...but had a slight sparkle in the right light. Glitter in daytime perfection!

Here I am showing you how I wear Disco Ball in an evening look. This was much more glittery so I thought it would be fun to pair it with a dark eye and bare lip.

What I loved most about these glitter top coats is that they didn't clump, added a little sparkle without being overwhelming, and are only $5 a pop! You can't go wrong. Also, for those of you that freak out about glitter getting everywhere, this was actually super easy to remove. With a slight swipe of a makeup remover wipe it came right off with little effort.

Be sure to look for these fun mascaras at your local Walmart in Spring of 2018.

Fox in a Box by Hard Candy

One thing I always have in my makeup drawer is a good bronzer. A hint of golden color on my cheeks adds so much to my every day look. Also, when you are as pale as I am a touch of color goes a long way!

My friends at Hard Candy sent over some of their new scented marbleized baked powders called Fox in a Box (available at Walmart, $7) for me to try. I honestly don't know which one I love most. They give a great golden color and smell amazing!

This formula delivers multi dimensional yet sheer and buildable color. This gives you a natural and healthy glow. Also, with scents like chocolate, peach, and pina colada you'll have a hard time picking your favorite!

Do you love bronzers as much as I do? Be sure to give these a try!
