Three Beauty Tips To Look Your Best

Sometimes, we can get all dressed up, hair fixed, make up done, awesome shoes on, and still feel like we’re missing something! Parts of our look just seem a little plain, boring, or just off in some way. After this, a lot of girls resort to excessively applying make-up, over-the-top layering, or mixing and matching things that really just end up looking way to busy, resulting in a major fashion “don’t”. So, to prevent these fashion faux pas from happening, I’ve come up with three special tips to give your look some pop!

Oil Free Primer

There are times when I forget about primer altogether. It helps your beautiful make-up creation last throughout the entire day. With oil free primer, your pores won’t be so clogged up all the time, resulting in fewer breakouts! Yes, please! Try Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free Primer.

Don’t forget those brows!!

To me, eyebrows are the most underrated part of the face. They completely change the way you look!! When Rooney Mara starred in the movie “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, she underwent about 100 transformations- piercings, haircuts, hair dyes, weight loss, etc. After everything she went through, she said, “The eyebrows were the biggest shock because that really changed my face, and I didn't recognize myself," says Mara. Try going a shade darker then your hair color. Dark brows are “all the rage” these days. Helpful hint: you can use eye shadow for this, too.

Have the mind to accessorize

Usually, I won't leave the house without three accessories. My key accessories are usually a scarf, a bag (or purse), and earrings. Lately, I’ve been going for the boho look, so I’ve been having some “arm parties“ (lots of bracelets.) I love this new trend. It can make a t-shirt and jean shorts look stylish.

Fashion Favorites: 3 Spring Trends To Try

Each season, the fashion world comes out with new and super cute fashion trends… but how do you know which ones are perfect for college women? Here are a couple of our favorite new spring styles based on variability, comfort, and simplicity.

The Spring Scarf

Silky Solid Color Acrylic Scarf, Amazon

Scarves are a fashion favorite. You can literally wear them with anything! You can dress them up or down, make them chic or mellow, preppy or grunge. To create a spring look, get a soft color (like light blue or olive green) and make sure the material is light.

Coral Orange

There are so many trendy spring apparel colors like teal, muted yellow, and soft pink. My personal favorite is this coral orange color. It creates an eye-popping look and adds color and a glow to all skin types!

Tail Hems

Open Back High-Low Dress, Amazon

Tail hems are so cute and so fashion forward! “Tail hem”, means long in the back, short in the front. This look works on skirts and dresses, for a fun yet sophisticated look. It also works like this: short on one side long on the other. Comfortable yet beautiful.

Outfit Ideas from The Hunger Games

Empowered women seems to be the reigning theme in movie theaters recently. Almost every movie preview I see features some awesome girl, on some crazy plot, and kicking some major butt! Normally, stars like these generate an automatic fan base, especially in young women throughout the country and even the world. Two of these awesome characters are Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games, and Snow White, Mirror Mirror. When a performance inspires me like that, I consistently find myself wanting to transform entirely into those unbelievable characters. Normally, I’m just not cool enough to do that so, naturally. So, I attempted to recreate their wardrobe! Here’s what I came up with:

Name: Katniss Everdeen
Movie: The Hunger Game
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence

Plot: Lawrence plays a 16 year- old girl who is a fighter, hunter, provider and strong warrior. Her life is changed around when she is thrown into the annual reality TV show, The Hunger Games, where children ages 11-18 are drafted into a gladiator showdown to fight to the death. The time is set in an unusual, North America, futuristic world. Katniss is forced into a circumstance where she has to fight for her life every single minute. Out of 24 kids, only one can survive.

Creation: Katniss is fierce and loves to hunt, so the deep nature colors, brown, army green, and gray, are a must! Her style has to be “warrior ready”, so I spiced the jacket and shoe essentials up a little bit with a trendy tie up boot and an edgy, pleather hoodie-jacket. The tribal scarf and deep yellow belt just pull the whole look together! Love the books and can’t wait to see the movie!

The Look

Skinny Grey Jeans-$19.99 Urban Outfitter, Green Blouse- $29.94 Old Navy, Pleather Brown Jacket- $39.99 Target, Xhilaration Lace-up Boots- $29.99 Target, Belt and Scarf- $6.80 & $8.80 Forever 21
