Are you blushing?

You know what goes great with that summer tan? A bit of blush! That pinky, healthy look is beautiful for summertime. It really completes that sunkissed look. Here are a few of our favorite blushes.

We "heart" this blush from Too Faced! This lovely trio of blushes is perfect for fair skin. Simply sweep your blush brush over all three colors. The formula is so creamy and pigmented. It gives a beautiful pinky, shimmery look.

Smashbox is a really great brand. Their colors and formula is just fantastic! And we we're so excited to see one of their blushes on the list. The love me blush is really wonderful. This darker pink color is great for darker skin or a more dramatic look.

A cream blush is another great way to wear blush. It looks less dry and is super blendable. They add a real freshness to your skin. They are a bit daunting at first but give it a try! We love the Bobbi Brown cheek tint. The color is so rich and vivid. It's a great way to take on a bold cheek look.

We encourage you to embrace blush this summer and even fall! Don't be scared! Invest is a good quality blush brush. You'll be glad you did! Use a light hand. Just a little will go a long way! Apply from the apple of cheek, blending the blush along your cheekbone. And play with the placement on the color based on your face shape. Be a blush goddess!

Turkey day beauty must haves!

Are you traveling for Thanksgiving? Or are you sticking close to home? Chances are you have been so preoccupied by planning the dinner, that you have forgotten about your own personal needs! No matter if you're traveling cross country or just a short way, you'll need some beauty products to get you through the day.We have a few suggestions.

You'll want to look your best in all those pictures! Lets start with concealer.  You're going to need to cover up those dark circles under your eyes. You've been traveling or up late baking pies. It happens to the best of us. Thanksgiving is a stressful time! Do yourself a favor and invest in this creamy Bobbi Brown concealer. It's going to cover up all those imperfections. It's an instant transformation from a turkey basting zombie to a flawless dinner guest. You'll be amazed! 

It's a really busy week! Braving the busy grocery store, traveling or hosting guests at your home. And we can't forget about all the cooking! So in between arranging flowers for the table and fending off your in laws, take a you moment. Light a candle, play some music and paint your nails. Such a simple activity but it might just keep you sane. We recommend this beautifully pigmented polish by Tom Ford. Go for it!

Before you know it, it will all be over. The dishes will be washed, the leftovers put away and everyone laying around in a post turkey stupor. And you're exhausted and ready for some sleep! Take off the day and your makeup with MAC's cleanse off oil. This stuff works like a charm! And it's not drying like other makeup removers.

All of us here at the Latex Store wish you a very happy Thanksgiving! We're thankful for all you! Thank you for choosing us to make your latex dreams come true!
