Things I’m Loving

summer 2016 trendsayai lilou choker

Hi… Long time no see. Thought I’d start with a few things on my top shelf these last few weeks:

CHOKERS

I try to stay away from trends as much as possible since those pieces usually result in waste, but chokers, especially frail ones, are so magnetic. I just could not… There are so many budget-friendly ones available too – I’ve snagged a few from Forever 21, but none in my assembly tops the Double Wrap Lilou from Are You Am I at the moment. I’ll sporadically wear them stacked or layered and the outcome is really edgy with a hint of romance as lace suggests.

NO-EYELINER SMOKEY EYE

Never in my life would I have thought I’d forsake eyeliner, but surprisingly, no-eyeliner has become first resort. Taking notes from the Hadid doublet, it’s all about da glow – think nontouring for the eyes overlayed with feathery lashes! So freakin sexy!

DEEP NUDE LIPS

If you’re not into the whole deep nude situation, you’re really missing out. Every chance I get, I’m reaching for Mac Velvet Teddy, Hug Me, or Wet n Wild Chestnut (liner). It stands out splendidly without being ‘bam, in your face’ red or bright pink.

CONCEALER

With the admittance of retinol, peptides, and ceramides in my skincare regimen, I’ve been feeling far more comfortable in my bare skin, resulting in the dismissal of any tinted base. That redirects my focus to quality concealers, specifically amalgamating full-coverage and light reflective ones. Detailed post to come 🙂

Would love to hear what you’ve been loving this summer!
