Spring Makeup Looks: Bronze Babe & Orange Crush











Over the past couple of months we have become makeup fanatics! We picked up a couple new items we wanted to try this spring-summer and we thought it would be fun to create 2 fun go to looks. Maya went for a bronze look; a look we love especially since we're a lil pale coming out of winter and will def be faking a glow for awhile. Milan's look is an ode orange (my fav color) we would've never thought this color would be wearable but by applying with a light hand we made it work. Both of our looks started with the same products Nars Sheer glow foundation in Syracuse, Bobbi Brown creamy concealer in Honey, MAC eyeliner in Teddy and Dior mascara in brown.


Maya's look: Nars- Oasis blush, Nars- Multi-stick in St barts, Nars- Albatross, Nars lip gloss in Gold digger, MAC paint pot in Let me pop, Anastasia DipBrow in Medium Brown.
I used a Nars multi stick in St Barts on my cheek bones, chin and forehead to give me an overall glow. Then swiped the apples of my cheeks with Albatross and Oasis for extra highlight. On my lids I used my fingers to apply Mac's paint pot in "let me pop" then took a brush and blended with a dark brown shadow. I lined my lips with Hover from MAC then topped it off with Nars lip gloss in Gold digger.


Milan's look: Nars-Taj Mahal blush(used on lids & cheeks), Nars- Albatross, Mac- Morange lipstick and Hover lip liner, Anastia DipBrow in Medium brown. I used Taj Majal  and Albatross on my cheeks and lids I love this combo; Taj Mahal gives me a nice pop of color and Albatross is an amazing highlight. On my lips I applied a thin layer of Morange lipstick from MAC and lined it with Hover.


What makeup looks will you be trying this Spring?

Jason Wu

Jason Wu
   If ever there was a guide for women to follow when choosing pieces for her wardrobe it would be written by WU. Every season he completely blows me away with his elegant garments. I caught the live stream of Jason Wu's' 2015 RTW collection and instantly fell in love, from the color story, to the furs, those killer shoes, that olive matte crocodile dress! There was so much to look at, each garment demanded attention. The Jason Wu girl is the woman I dream to be.. I want to wear crocodile dresses! This post is dedicated to you WU... You are genius.

Prey on it: Mansur Gavriel

Mansur Gavriel


We are starting a new segment on the blog called "Prey on it" where we talk about luxe items we are currently lusting. First Prey is the brand Mansur Gavriel. We love their beautifully crafted bags and all the gorgeous colorways. My favorite piece is the bucket bag, Maya loves their backpacks. These bags have became very popular in a short amount of time selling out within hours during their restock last December via their online shop. The brand just announced they will restock their webshop on March 19! I just love a well crafted practical bag, these bags retail from $400-700. We are currently praying we get our hands on a one of these bags. *deep sighs ... One day

Check out more of these bags at Mansurgavriel.com and join in on our obsession.
