August Favourites!

1. Starbucks Teavana Shaken Iced Blackberry Mojito Tea Lemonade: This drink is such a delicious blend of mint, blackberry and lemonade. It is limited edition and I will be sad to see it go now that the summer is over.

 2. Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara: Another month, another Tarte product. I do love Tarte. I don't normally buy high-end mascaras since you're supposed to toss them every 3 months, but I received a trial size of this product a while ago and have just now gotten around to using it. I love everything about it. The formula is great (not too dry and not too wet), and it lengthens, thickens and curls my lashes without clumping.

3. The Mindy Project: I just started watching (or should I say binge watching) the Mindy Project on Netflix. What took me so long to watch this?! If you are a 20 or 30 something year old woman, you need to watch this show! It is so hilarious and real. I can't wait for Season 3 to begin in a few weeks!

 4. Rifle Paper Co.: I've been obsessed with this stationery brand ever since it first came to Chapters Indigo. Everything is just so cute! I picked up these notebooks a few weeks ago and I can't wait to add some new wall prints to my apartment.

 5. Water infused with mint: Yes, you read that right. Water is one of my August favourites. But not just any water. I have a mint plant and I love to add some fresh mint leaves to a glass of water and let the flavour infuse. It's so delicious and refreshing!

My Favourite Method for Applying Foundation

Image
Like concealer , there are so many ways to apply foundation. I just started using this method and it's by far the best I've ever tried. It looks totally natural while providing great coverage. Squeeze about a dime size amount of liquid foundation onto the back of your hand. With a clean finger, dot foundation all over your face. Using a flat top brush, stipple the foundation into your skin and lightly buff it into your face and neck until blended. Repeat these steps if you want full coverage. That's it!

Fashion Favourites: Oscar de la Renta Looks

Image
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Oscar de la Renta last week. He was such a talented designer and truly one of the remaining greats. He trained with Cristobal Balenciaga, and worked at Lanvin and Arden before launching his own ready to wear label in 1965. Over the years, he expanded into accessories, perfume, bridal wear and home wear. He also designed Balmain's haute couture collection from 1993 to 2002. He was a favourite designer of celebrities and first ladies. Today I'm taking a look back at some of my favourite de la Renta looks from both the red carpet and the runway.
