Simple Spring and Summer Beauty

As we transition into warmer temperatures, our beauty habits and trends change as well. For summer, we're thinking lighter, natural makeup. And we want our hair up and out the way. We want to be able to spend all day outside without having constant makeup and hair touch ups. Do you crave this fun, carefree look as much as we do? Don't you worry. We have a few tips for simple, summertime beauty.

We have been watching a recent beauty trend become extremely popular: BB creams. This product was only sold in East and Southeast Asia until a few years ago. Basically, it an all in one face product. It moisturizes, primes and covers your imperfections. And, most formulas contain SPF. Which is great for summertime. It's a quick way to get great, lightweight coverage and protection for the sun's harmful rays. Overall, it's supposed to improve the quality of your skin.

There is a lot of selection out there; from high end to drugstore. Elle just shared their top picks. Some of our favorites made the list! For high end, we love the Origins BB Cream with white tea. It's a great, all-natural formula. And it supposed to help prevent aging which is important when you're spending long days out in the sun. 

If you are looking for a great drugstore alternative, Loreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream also has a great formula. It "primes, perfects, hydrates and protects". And we can say, it does all four things! It's a really great product. Just set with some powder and you're ready to walk out the door! 

Well, not quite yet! What are you going to do with that hair? We have a few ideas! Glamour shared their favorite spring up-dos. We love this tousled top knot that Jennifer Lawrence is sporting. It so simple to do! Check out this quick and simple tutorial that we found on sheknows.com. We will definitely be sporting this fun easy hairstyle all through spring and summer. 

See? Carefree summer makeup and hair isn't too hard! It's easy! Why do you think they call in carefree? What do you think? Tweet us your thoughts and tips on simple summer beauty tricks and tips!

Bad hair days be gone!

It's Monday...again. And let's face it. No one likes Mondays. But we must get up and face the day. But, there are always shortcuts you can take to make things a little easier on yourself. Today we're all about hair. Let us show you a few tricks we've been using lately.

Dry shampoo! It's our miracle product recently. It so easy to use and makes 2nd or 3rd day hair more manageable. And nobody like greasy hair. This is a great product to use if you overslept (let's face it. It happens to all of us!) or you just want to give your hair some extra volume. And they smell great too!

Elle magazine just shared their favorite 13 dry shampoos. We're big fans Batiste (amazing scent!). They  have a dry shampoo formulated for all you brunettes out there (no more white streaks!)! And we're thinking of trying the Phillip B. brand next! What do you think? Did they list any of your favorites?

Let's face it. No one has time for spending a whole lot a time on their hair on Monday mornings. We just want something quick and cute that will last all day. Elle recently shared 3 easy hair up do tutorials that seem quick and easy. And they are good for all hair lengths! We fell in love with the knotted up do. It looked so relaxed and fun (and perfect for spring... if it ever gets here!). And if you make use of dry shampoo, your hair texture will work perfectly with these fun hairstyles.

We wish you all a stress-free Monday. Remember to breathe. It will be the weekend again before we know it!
