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!

CC cream

Remember a while back when we talked about BB cream? Well, since then CC cream has started to appear on makeup counters and drugstores everywhere! We we're a little confused at first. What makes a CC cream different from a BB cream? After a bit of research, we have some answers for you!

 CC creams offer a formula that offers the same benefits as a BB cream. It protects, covers, moisturizes among other benefits. But the formula offers more coverage for those of us that need it. It covers scars and imperfections beautifully while still offering the wonderful benefits of a BB cream. This non-oily, cream cream is a must have for the summer! Elle recommended a few and we picked a few favorites!

We received a sample of Juice Beauty's Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream and couldn't get enough! After we squeezed the last little bit out of the sample, we ran out and bought a full-size product. We love Juice Beauty! All their products are certified organic. And we find them to be incredibly hydrating. This product has a great thick and creamy consistency. It applies beautifully to the skin. We really recommend this product! 

Clinque is a classic for us. We've used their moisturizers for years so, we we're excited to try their CC cream. It has a great, thinner yet very moisturizing quality to it. The packaging shape allows for easy access to the product. A little goes a long way! We recommend using a beauty blender or something similar to one to apply this makeup. It allows for a beautiful, airbrushed look.

A CC cream is a must have for the summer. The sun protection is a necessity. And this is an easy way to protect and treat your skin everyday. What do you think of the CC cream? Are you planning on buying one or are you already loving it? Let us know!
