4th of July Beauty Tips

How about sparking your own fireworks this 4th of July? Whether you’re going boating all day, or to a family picnic at the beach, or even later on that night to go watch the fireworks, you can make your own sparks fly with my special 4th of July beauty tips.

  1. Step 1 – Start with a cleanser that suits your skin. How about one that’s a comforting blend of milk and oats and that’s also great for dry sensitive skin.
  2. Step 2 – Follow-up with a cool face moisturizer. How about one that has an SPF 30 and is loaded with antioxidants and blueberries.
  3. Step 3 – How about a gel cleanser that really leaves your skin silky and smooth – and squeaky clean as well.
  4. Step 4 – Moisturize with a matifying lotion – which is perfect for oily skin. It’ll moisturize, and most importantly, without the shine.
  5. Step 5 – It’s July and it’s warm and you don’t want to put on too much make up, but you can keep looking cool by using a light tinted moisturizer or bronzer
  6. Step 6 – Next sweep a neutral color over your lids, and just dot a darker shade such along the lash line.
  7. Step 7 – Add a few strokes of mascara … make your eyes POP like a firecracker!
  8. Step 8 – Last but not least, your lips – try a high-shine tinted lip gloss … great for hot summer days, and guaranteed to have eyes glued to your lips and smile. You can try switching to a darker shade when night falls.

That’s it … now you’re definitely ready to spark some of your own fireworks this 4th of July. Have fun and be safe!

More Modern Furniture Options

Okay, so I’m still busy obsessing about redecorating the house, getting new furniture, and just about anything and everything to get more of the cool jazzy feeling that I’ve gotten from previous purchases and changes around the house. As you prob know if you’ve been keeping up with me, I’ve tried a few online furniture stores with good results, but now I know that the best modern furniture option yet is eroomservice.com. They offer EVERYTHING that’s hip and cool – from modern bedroom furniture (including an awesome platform bed), to amazing living room sets, kids room stuff and tons more!

Naturally, being a little self-obsessed, I checked out their extensive offering of mirrors – they’ve got really nice floor mirrors, cool fly mirrors, freestanding mirrors by Doimo and some nice ones for your dresser as well. If you’re looking to have a cool new look for the summer in a particular room or all over the house, be sure to check out eroomservice.com. Have a great 4th of July!
