I was pretty jazzed when my new InStyle came in the mail the other day.
Even though I rarely have time to leisurely read my magazines these days I make it a point to flip through to get ideas for new looks & trends to try.


I had a hot date with my husband last Saturday night so I decided to keep the makeup simple yet glamorous.
The Cat Eye Liner, Eyelashes and a slicked center did exactly that.
Recently I have started pulling my hair back (it's been way too hot to have it down and in my face)
and have been enjoying how it looks.
I wanted to try something a bit new (for me) and modern so I pulled it back into a low ponytail but added a side part, laid it flat in the center and then got funky by adding a small bump towards the crown.
For details on how I created the Cat Eye Liner see my post here.
The Hair-do:
As a makeup artist I'm always willing to go out on a limb and try a new trend or re-create some look I saw online but as a mother I try to not go too overboard with my daily look.
But I was so pleased with the outcome that I know I will be trying both of these looks again!
What trends are you interested in trying?
Is there anything you want to see me showcase here?

Even my outfit was out of the box for me. Normally I would have paired something like this with some strappy heels or flashy pumps but I decided to go a little bit rock 'n roll and add these black booties I bought a while back but had yet to wear.
I loved the way it all came together.
My husband even approved!
