{daily inspiration} Emma Watson Cannes 2013

For today's post enjoy some photos of Emma Watson at the Cannes Film Festival. She was there to promote her new film The Bling Ring by Sophia Coppola. I love her so much, and I'm glad her hair is finally long-ish again. I got used to her short cut, but I'll always love her with long hair best.  She is one of my main fashion icons (when we're talking celebrity influences.) She is always experimenting with new things but always stays true to herself.

{review} Eye Majic Eyeshadow Applicators

Last week I was sent a fun pre-colored eyeshadow applicator kit from Eye Majic; they make applying layered eyeshadow quick and easy. The kit ($19.95) included 2 of the pre-colored applicators, one eye liner, one mascara, a lip gloss, a lip liner and a built-in mirror. The kit comes in a cute little travel case that's easy to throw into your purse.  They also sell a pack of 16 applicators (19.95) or you can buy single applications in sets of 2, 5 or 10.  From a press release:

Summer is just around the corner, and Eye Majic has so many great hues to help you update your summer makeup bag. Eye Majic is the revolutionary pre-colored eye shadow applicators that help you achieve a professional-quality look in just seconds. The foam applicators allow you to create a layered look by simply pressing them to your eyelid and then blending. Whether you're going for muted neutrals or bold summer hues, Eye Majic has a shade for everyone.

For the purpose of this post I only used the eyeshadow applicator along with the rest of my usual makeup. All it takes is 3 simple steps: Apply (hold for 2-4 seconds,) Slide and Remove! You can also use the other side of the applicator to blend the shadow and make it look more natural. It does take a little practice to get a clean look. As you can see, in the third photo my left eye is a bit messy because it was my first try, then my right eye is much cleaner.

And the finished product after a bit of cleanup with makeup remover and a Q-tip! By the looks of the applicator it looks like I can possibly get a second use out of them, which is always a good thing.  Overall this is a really great product and I would definitely recommend it! You just have to be careful and practice to get the perfect effect.

*I received this product for free for the purpose of this review and received no monetary compensation, my opinions are my own.

{outfit} Schools Out

Behold, my outfit for my friend's graduation party! It was a lot of fun, although very cold! It was supposed to be in the 70s, but it definitely was not. At one point we got into a conversation with one of his Aunt's about my weird eating habits (I am very picky) and my social phobia. She was very intrigued, ha ha.  I miss seeing them (the boys and their parents) all the time, we used to have so much fun. But now all us children are grownup (and the boys live in NYC and Boston) so we don't see each other that much. Depressing!

{outfits} This Week in Fashion

Happy almost weekend!  This week was pretty normal, except yesterday I went to a Birchbox event for the launch of Caudalie Divine Legs. It's a new tinted body lotion to give legs a touch of sun without the use of a self-tanner. When we first arrived one of the employees showed us how it worked on our arms - look at the difference!  Then we got our other arm and legs done, such a fun product.  We also got to try the Divine Oil, Crushed Cabernet Scrub and Beauty Elixir.  I ended up buying a Caudalie Favorites pack that included the Divine Oil, Beauty Elixir, Lip Conditioner, Hand & Nail Cream and Makeup Remover. I can't wait to try it all out!

This weekend I'll be heading to a graduation party for one of my oldest friends.  He is the son of my parents best friends so I've known him since he was born (I'm only 3 years older than him though, ha ha.) We haven't seen them in a while so it should be fun, although there will be a lot of people so I'll be nervous.

{closet-worthy} In My Zara Cart

On Tuesday while I was watching Star Trek I decided to do a sweep of Zara's site to see if anything caught my eye. (I know...Star Trek + Zara don't really mix, but what can I say, I'm a lover of many things.)  Unfortunately a TON of pieces called my name. I put everything I liked in my cart, just for fun, and the total came to $1,264.40 for 18 items. HAH.  Below is a selection of some of the pieces I would love to add to my closet, perhaps I'll pick up a couple (if I do I might have to return the black dress I bought at Lord & Taylor this weekend.) On a side note, I am OBSESSED with this dress, too bad it sold out...better keep an eye out or check out a store when I'm in NYC for work.
