I hate dishing out the cash for a nice pair of sunglasses, but I love changing up the styles I wear.  Therefore, I took the liberty of searching for some great choices for this spring and summer at a reasonable price.  I love you Dolce&Gabanna, Dior, and Chanel but $300+ just isn’t in the cards. Check out these stylish shades that won't break the bank!

Bright and Fabulous! Your Guide to Spring Face Make Up

4/5/2012

Spruce up your face make up for a sun-kissed glow – natural – yet with a pop there is a variation of combos you can use.  Add more dimension to your everyday powder and bronzer for a fresh look with just two new additions!

Bronzer 

Splurge: MAC “Extra Dimension” Skinfinish is a liquid powder described as “a highlighter with prismatic reflections that sculpts, highlights, and models the face.  The cool, creamy near-fluid formula creates a luminous, well defined finish and wears ten hours.” It comes in three shades: Glorify, Superb, Whisper of Gilt, costing $29.  This highlighter – to be applied above cheek bones for contouring adds the just the right amount of glow without having too many sparkles – this sheer shimmer is absolute perfection. Save: For a less pricey option you can opt for Cashmere Wear Ulta Smoothing Bronzer for only $8.39--but make sure you choose the lighter option as a highlighter and pair with this Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Bronzer for $11.99

Blush

Love how Kourtney Kardashian wore this bright blue blazer paired with a neutral shirt, black jeans, and cute heeled boots. The real blazer is a silk oversized blazer that costs $363.  Ditch the silk, and stick with the bold color with options from Forever 21 for $29.  Don’t feel like spending the cash on expensive jeans? Urban Outfitters has a stylish high rise pair for $58.  Any simple v-neck or shirt will go well with this outfit , but you could spruce it up and you check out this cute top.
