How To: Conservative Makeup For The Workplace

Hi beauty lovers! So this week I have a bunch of job interviews coming up and I thought it would be a great idea to show how I would get ready for one. There are also a lot of businesses that create or host formal events and parties and they usually only allow their staff to wear very light makeup. You don't want to take any of the attention away with your green and blue smokey eye!

So basically all that I do is just prime my face and put my foundation on, today I used a mixture of the Smashbox Photo Ready BB Water and my M.A.C. studio fix waterproof foundation.

Then I went in with some concealer from M.A.C. concealer and a Tarte color corrector that cancels out the purple underneath my eyes, you can't look like a zombie on the job.

Then I just went in and set that with my Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder. I know this will come as a shock, but I did not contour at all. I decided I wanted to be contour free and I actually liked it. You can do whatever you prefer though because contouring can be subtle.

Then for my eyes I just went very simple, only two colors but that's better than leaving them bare. I went in with my Tarte Tartelette in Bloom palette and used a very light brown in my crease and a matte cream color on my lid. Effortless but still cute.

Then to finish off the look I went with a light pink satin lip, every beauty guru's favorite, Velvet Teddy by M.A.C.

Then I was out the door and feeling good! Make sure to share this with your beauty loving friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
