Hasta La Ideas

That can only mean one thing. Time to switch up our musky, sensual winter scents for lighter, more floral and crisp affairs! Look for perfumes that are sparkling and seductive, making sure it’s not too overpowering, but still leaves a lingering note.

Keep it bright, light and feminine with citrus notes, fresh floral bouquets and alluring woodsy or berry notes. Are you a signature scent type of gal or do you like to switch it up? Click on the slideshow to see some of our favorite Spring fragrances!

Whether it’s because you hit that snooze an extra one time too many, or if you’re eyeliner just won’t go on smoothly and you’ve had to start over, or (the worst) a huge pimple appeared out of nowhere over night and is waving ‘hi’ to the world from your chin … you just don’t have the time!

Here’s a few quick tips that only take a minute and make you look fresh and pretty in no time! Then click on the slideshow to see some of our fave products!

Dry Shampoos – So you probably should’ve washed your hair, but there’s no time now! Dry shampoos are the quick and easy way to soak up the grease and give your hair the lightness and volume it needs! Simply spray or sprinkle along the roots and style as usual! No dry shampoo around? Baby powder works amazing too! Just remember to blend!

Volumizing Mascara – Mascara is no secret! A few brushes onto the lashes ans immediately your eye appear bigger and brighter! Wiggle the wand at the roots and sweep upwards for maximum length and volume. And dark mascara makes a great brow darkener to for those of us truly on the go! It’s the go-to cosmetic that makes you look put together and pretty in a matter of seconds!

Bright Lips – If you need to rush out the door five minutes ago, grab a bright red or pink lipstick, apply and go! A vibrant hue is enough to take center stage and a lipstick will last longer than a gloss.

Brows – Eyebrows help frame and define your face. A pair of strong, filled in brows make you seem alert and focused without any other makeup. A few quick strokes of a brow powder and set in place with brow gel takes only a minute!

Skin – Got a pimple or spot that won’t go away? Simply apply a cold compress to the target area to reduce redness and swelling, then apply a small dot of anti-puffiness cream or gel. Finish with a well blended dot of concealer (or opt for a green tone highlighter to reduce the red look) and finish off with a light dusting of powder.

Think of it as Photoshop for your face that you can wear the whole day! Enhance a jawline, make eyes brighter, define cheekbones, whatever you want! And still look natural while doing it!

Brighter, Wider Eyes – Eyes convey and express a lot, so make them bright and electric! Using eye drops eliminates any redness, then line the lower lids with a bright white liner to make then seem bigger. A dot of highlighter, blended well, at the inside and outside corners also helps to open eyes up. Curling the lashes and adding a few coats of black, volumizing mascara also helps!

Enhance Your Jawline – A prominent jawline is a sexy trait and can also make the face seem thinner or more defined. Simply use a large blush or face brush and tap it gently into a bronzer (matte) that is about 2 shades darker. Lightly brush along your natural jawline, focusing mostly on the curve below the ear and being careful to blend, blend, blend outwards towards the chin. A little goes along way so use sparingly!

Define Cheekbones – There’s nothing more feminine and beautiful that high, well defined cheekbones! Suck in your cheeks and dust bronzer into the hollow. Then, at the apple of the cheeks, brush on just a little bit of blush, being sure to blend both out and upwards towards the temple! Instant cheekbones!

Contour Your Nose – Forget nose jobs and rhinoplasty that can be costly, painful and risky! All you need is an angled blush brush (look for a lightly smaller size) and some bronzer (matte)! Tap your brush gently into the bronzer and brush onto the sides of the nose, being sure to blend well. Avoid the center of the nose. Do define the nose bridge even further, apply a few small dots down the center of the nose vertically and blend, blend blend!

Plump Your Lips – Who needs Restylane injections when you’ve got lip gloss? Apply a chapstick or any other clear and thick lip balm first. Using a lip liner, define just the bow of the upper lip. Then apply your favorite lipstick color as usual. Add a dot of shiny, iridescent gloss to the center of the upper and lower lip and (very) gently blend in. Muah!
