With summer (hopefully) right around the corner, it is time to adjust your beauty routine. When the warm weather, bright sun and of course, humidity hits, we should shake it up and go with some lighter, simpler beauty products. Embrace your natural beauty this season and let your features, not your makeup stand out.


1. Switch it up from powder blush to cream blush 

Heavy blush can look garish...

While we're total fans of playing with brights in your beauty routine, Emily Blunt's neon shadow at the Met Gala has us thinking that pink eye is never, ever a good thing. 


Emily Blunt is a gorgeous lady, and this pink shadow is a gorgeous colour, but together a gorgeous face they do not make. All I see with this face is the bright streak of shadow across her eyes. It is way too...

You may remember that not too long ago I chopped off my long, curly (and very damaged hair) and got a shorter and far healthier 'do. Since then, I've been trying very hard to be nice to my hair and give it a little TLC to prevent it from getting to that previous, icky straw-like state.

If the spring runways and summer beauty collections are anything to go by, we're in for a bright summer! Bold shades of blue, pink, teal and purple are some of the hottest beauty trends to jump on for the upcoming season.

Understandably, most people shy away from brights. It's easy to get shadow-happy and go a bit too far, making you look like you've just stepped out of a time machine...

So, the Met Gala happened. As did Nicole Richie's grey hair, an odd Olsen cape and a wallpapered Kardashian. Needless to say, it got weird. 

The theme was punk and apparently, celebs took that to mean, "dress like you are Crazytown, Population: 1". Granted, some celebrities looked da-yum good (I mean, Emma Watson clearly won the night, right?). Of course, I am glad that they...

For those brides who are looking to stay on budget, skipping the pro makeup application and hair styling can be a great idea. Well, at first. Until the big day comes and you've suddenly remembered that when it comes to doing hair, you have the motor skills of a toddler.  

Well, never fear. We found three deceptively simple hair styles and beauty looks that you can totally DIY without...

Jennifer Lawrence is a beautiful sunshine goddess and I want to bask in her glory. 

Too much? Did I go too far? 

Sorry, that got away on me. It's just that I cannot get over how good she looked at the NY premiere of The Great Gatsby
