No More Pain From Wearing Heels

Girls......on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you love your heels?! Im going to assume you all gave that a 10 because we all know how heels can make your heart skip a beat. As a short girl I love my heels and how long and slender they make my legs look. I have worn super high heels for hours on end, only to realize how sore and swollen my feet became once I removed them.

Heels are from Lolashoetique (Smooth Talker in Coral)

So how can you wear your favorite heels without pain and soreness? Here are some great tips that I found worked great for me (I've included links to the products that I always use):

- Take deodorant and rub it onto the areas of your feet where your pumps might usually cause blisters (ex. back of heels, side of foot near big toe, pinky toes, etc.)

- Add gel in-soles to your shoes to provide comfort to your feet

- If you feel the most pain on the back of your heels from rubbing against your pumps, use special heel huggers that can be placed in the shoe to help ease the pain

- If you feel you easily get blisters on your toes, use small protectors that can be placed around your toes

- I like to add extra lotion to my feet so I know that the moisture will keep my skin from getting irritated

I hope you enjoyed and found these tips super helpful!

Transition Your Wardrobe

So some people might hate that I am saying this, but we are getting closer to the end of August and beginning of September. This means we will start breathing in the beautiful crisp fall air, which I love so much. As soon as September comes I am already getting my fall clothes out of storage. I'm sure as many of my fellow New Jersians know, September and October have been known to keep the heat going longer than expected. On the other hand, sometimes it gets chilly early on in the fall months.

So here are some tips on how to coordinate your summer and fall clothes together just in case the weather fluctuates (mixed in with my favorite inspo pictures):

1. Always have a great quality leather jacket

2. Make sure your shirts are cotton and breathable

3. Some of your summer dresses can be paired with tights or knee highs

4. Match a faux fur with jean shorts

5. Mini skirts with a long sleeve shirt (sheer tights could be added too)

6. A chunky scarf is a great addition to any outfit

7. Boyfriend jeans work well with any season

8. Cardigans give you the warmth you might need, but if you start getting hot it's one item that won't ruin your outfit if you remove it

9. Keep your maxi dresses out and match them with popular fall booties

10. Oversized sweaters and knee high boots

Maybelline FIT Me Foundation Matte & Pore less

I've bought another foundation...yet again. I am constantly buying foundations because I feel like there is always a new amazing product coming out every single day! For my oily, acne prone skin I always feel it is necessary to try different foundations that will help give me the coverage I need. Plus you also need specific foundations for certain occasions and days. Some days my skin might be more dry so I can lean towards a more dewy foundation. While other days my skin is super oily and covered in breakouts galore, then I will reach for a matte and full-coverage foundation.

You know I love my drugstore foundations. They are quality products at the portion of the price for high end foundations. I've never really used Maybelline products for my face because I usually tend to lean more towards Cover Girl. The FIT Me make-up line has really gotten great reviews so I decided to try their new matte and pore less foundation.

One important thing that I have also learned over the years is that certain foundations have a better finished look when applied with certain make-up tools. Some apply better with foundation brushes and some apply better with make-up sponges. I personally like to apply this foundation with my Sigma foundation brushes. They really push this product into the skin and make it look very natural.

To be honest I really like this foundation for the summertime. First off, in the summer I dread wearing make-up because I know I will have to set my foundation with powder making my skin look cakey throughout the day. The great thing about this foundation is that I don't have to set it with powder. This has never been possible for me before. Luckily I can dab this foundation in the problem areas on my skin and blend it out with my foundation brush until it blends flawlessly with my skin and that's it! No powder, no problems.

I've worn this foundation by itself in the hot sun and obviously my skin is going to sweat and get oily, but the great thing is that it doesn't make my make-up look obvious. It still looks like my skin and you can't really tell there is any product on there. This product passes my biggest test for the summer months so I give it two thumbs up! Great foundation for girls with oily and acne-prone skin :)

The Beauty Hack To Change Your Life !!

I'm about to blow your mind with a new favorite product of mine that literally stops your skin from getting oily or slick in the heat. So enough of the garbage talk of blotting or using special powders in a certain order. This is going to start at the very beginning so you actually get to use the products you would like to use.

PREP YOUR SKIN!

This is going to blow your mind, but I literally stop the oil from overflowing just from using one product before I even apply my makeup. This magic product is called, Mehron Skin Prep Pro. This stuff is used for keeping makeup perfectly set so that no matter what aggravates your skin, your makeup will literally stay put. I mean this!

So I also have large pores and I have found that this product also tightens my pores which is a double whammy!! The only thing you need to do is put some of the liquid product onto a cotton ball and dab it all over your face. Let the product dry and you will immediately feel your skin tighten up! I swear its like Botox in a bottle (I should trademark that). Once it dries you are ready to apply your makeup in any way you would like. It is that simple my friends.

Here is a picture of my makeup on a super hot and humid day. Humidity is my worst enemy because it makes my oily skin look ten times worse, and I swear this product has saved me in the summer months.

How to Get Natural Fluttery Lashes like Kylie Jenner

Okay let's just say it....the entire world is obsessed with Kylie Jenner and her fabulous make-up looks. I mean have you seen the pictures?! Who wouldn't be obsessed with her glamorous and simple looks. What I love the most is how she always has these gorgeous fluttery lashes. That is the dream ladies, you heard it here first.

So here is my favorite way to get that look without using strip lashes. It's cheap and easy!!

So the brand KISS makes these false lashes called the Trio lashes. It's basically three single flared lashes put together. So with this product you can place these small sections in specific areas that you want to emphasize. I like to buy the ones that are the medium length. What's fabulous about this product is that it comes with two different lengths in the packaging so you can create a gradual winged out look to your lashes, this is also more natural.

The medium length package comes with the medium and short length. This is perfect because you can stack these and have the flared out lashes go in different directions making it more natural.

Here is a picture with my makeup done and the trio KISS lashes:
