Hello, Fireflies!
Recently, I went to a wedding. Well, not so much a wedding, as the couple had previously eloped. It was a reception, but nothing fancy. It was outside, and dress was casual.
So, basically, I went to a party where I really didn't know that many people, and there was no dancing, and I sweated a lot. But, I am happy for the couple, and I'm glad they included us.
Since it was a wedding, it's appropriate to share the love, right? I mean, NailNation3000 Share The Love, a fuchsia holo! And some rose water decals.
Water decals are so easy and fun. Simply cut out around the decal - no need to be precise - and soak them in water for 10-20 seconds. When you pull them out of the water, they'll separate from their paper backing, and then you can place them on your nails.
I also did some pinkish makeup for the event. I was running late, so hubby took this picture in the car at a stoplight on the way there!
Trying out my new Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette! I love Too Faced products.
It was hot, there was no A/C, but Cover FX saved the day! The CC Cream held on admirably over a mix of anti-aging and SPF primer. Here's my makeup after I got home from the wedding. I only reapplied lipstick - changing from Milani Power Lip in Raspberry Tart to Tarina Tarantino Floriculture after dinner.
Dang. My hair is a frizzy mess. I hate Florida heat.
The stable of makeup for the day: Cover FX primers in SPF30 and Anti-Age, Blemish primer and Eyeshadow primer, and also Setting Powder. Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Glow in Pravana, Hourglass Ambient Light in Mood Light, Rimmel Scandal Eyes RetroGlam mascara, Nars Black Valley and Maybelline Studio Eyes in Eggplant, Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette, and Milani Power Lip in Raspberry Tart (going) and Tarina Tarantino Floriculture (after dinner).
Not pictured, but I know I used a setting spray.. either ELF or Urban Decay. Not sure. They both work well for me.
What are your tips for keeping your cool (and your makeup fresh) during this summer heat?
Really like the look of those decals!
