Gypsy Soul Boutique in Bend, OR is a must watch on Facebook and Instagram…they had a website briefly, but it is currently under construction so that they can become bigger and better! I like to watch them on Instagram and Facebook, because if you see something that you love you can call them up and they will ship it right to you! I just got a great jacket and necklace from them that I absolutely love! Check out this dress for spring that is stunning!

I have been obsessed with our patio and making it better and better. These little hanging planters from Ikea are a great way to add some color and character to your outdoor or indoor space. To top it off they are such a great price!

Check out this fun lamp from Hobby Lobby! It has such a fun color and print…it would be perfect for adding a pop of color into your home. Not too bad on the wallet either!

I’m trying to get out of my nail polish comfort zone…as I have mentioned before, I really like dark polish. I could totally get on board with spring and out of my comfort zone with this fun spring Essie color called “Play Date!” I love the name of it as well.

You can get yourself a super sexy spring lip look with M.A.C lustre lip stick in “Snapdragon” and paired with the M.A.C prolonged lip pencil in “More To Love.” It is perfection. I feel so girly and sexy when I wear this liner and lip stick combo. I love to put on a pop of color in the lip department on those days when I am not patient enough to do my make-up. I throw on the basics add some color to my lips and BAM! it’s as if I tried so very hard…when in fact I was super lazy!

My beautiful friend Sara has this wonderful 70′s vintage maxi at her Etsy store, TennesseeMeVNTG. This shop is so much fun and all of her stuff is vintage and one of a kind. This is the perfect dress for spring and summer, just imagine how cozy, beautiful, and free you would feel in this little number.

I was poking around on Etsy for some fashion inspiration and I came across this phenomenal crystal necklace at a shop called Atelier Yumi. I’m in love with how light and airy it looks, but at the same time it is no doubt a solid statement necklace. I’m sitting here imagining how hot it would be paired with a flowy maxi dress, strappy sandals, and the reflection of the sunlight off of it! I bet it just glows radiance!

Check out these incredible rings! They are all natural made with raw materials straight from mother earth. I love Etsy and all the handmade products it offers. I found this on a wonderful shop called Vagabond Queen. It’s pretty incredible all the amazing things that Etsy has that are beautiful creations made with passion and creativity.

I fell in love with these dried flower canvas pictures right away. They are breathtaking. This set of three is really a great touch of spring without going too overboard. Check out all the goods Belles and Ghosts has to offer!

I hope that you y’all enjoy browsing my favorite spring items and join in on the fabulous giveaway that my fellow blog ladies and myself are offering. It’s a pretty sweet giveaway and I hope you all enter to win.

How to make your makeup last longer

Hello beauty babes!

I went out on an impromptu girls day a few weeks back and it was amazing! I got some new M.A.C makeup and have been playing with it ever since. I have been dying to share my latest makeup secret with you, but wanted to make sure it was a good as I thought it was…so I have been wearing it everyday since I bought it. Drum roll please…..

MAC Fix+ Skin Refresher is seriously the answer to my makeup prayers. I had my makeup done by one of the M.A.C girls…which I don’t normally do. I’m pretty particular when it comes to, well, everything - so it’s rare that I let someone else take the reigns. I only had her do my face makeup as my eyes, and eye brows were already done. She totally shocked me and rocked my world. She was literally amazing! My skin looked so flawless, it felt nourished, and it looked natural. I noticed she kept spraying a mist spray on her face and then she did the same to me once she was finished with my makeup. I asked her what it was - and low and behold, it was MAC Fix+ Skin Refresher. She told me that her and the other makeup artists pretty much bathe in it all day and that is why their makeup looks so flawless and stays on so long.

Kaysha Comfort, make makeup last longer

Sign me up! I bought some and I have to say I love it even more than the day I bought it. Now, I’m not bathing in it all day long, but I do spray it on when all of my makeup is complete. I do about 3-4 mists on my face. It doesn’t mess your makeup up at all, in fact it does the complete opposite. Your makeup sets and blends better and lasts longer. I know mine does. I usually don’t like spraying things on my face, for some reason I just hate that feeling, but this doesn’t bother me. The mist is super light and dries pretty quick…so if you’re like me, don’t worry it isn’t that bad. I see myself buying this fantastic little miracle in a bottle for years to come!

I’d love to hear about your favorite beauty weapons or products you just cannot live without! Sharing is caring, ladies. Let’s help each other out!

xoxo.

Favorite Lip Colors

Hello Beauties!

A few of my favorite go to lip colors are:

“Honeylove” Matte Lipstick by M.A.C - it’s great by itself, but if you want to spice it up a bit, line your lip with “Stripdown” Lip Pencil by M.A.C, and then add a few small dabs of “Underage” Lip Gloss by M.A.C to the center of your bottom lip. You end up with a very “J.Lo” type lip.

“Ruby Woo” Lipstick” by M.A.C, lined with “Cherry” Lip Pencil Liner by M.A.C is my favorite red lip color look. This is a deep true red, the perfect red in my opinion. I prefer a matte red lip over a shiny one, but [Read more...]
