SO HOT right now: Bicycle Prints

Bicycle prints, bicycle accents, bicycle accessories, you name it! I recall Jennie telling me back in October that she was seeing this print everywhere she turned. It wasn’t until now when I noticed that stores are carrying this spring print in all sorts of items. Check out some of Jennie Kay’s top bicycle picks!

SO HOT right now: Mirrored Sunglasses

We are seeing this trend everywhere: runways, street fashion, magazines, blogs, you name it; we love it. A bold statement, with little effort, and a handful (to a wallet-full) of cash can score you a pair of reflective, mirror like sunglasses such as these.

The most popular amongst the internet and fashion world appear to be the classic Ray Ban aviator, with a trendy twist; a colored, reflective-mirrored lens.

We love the trend, do you?

Sun Cushion-Trend Alert

I am so JELLY first the Asian skincare market had BB creams and didn’t share now the newest products are Sun Cushions. Asian women do have beautiful skin {so envious!} me want!

A sun Cushion reminds me of the old Stila foundation back in the day called Stila Pivotal Skin Liquid Makeup.{shown below} It was a compact that when you opened it it had a sponge that was built into the compact where a cream or powder would be. and you would us your fingers {or I would} and dab on the sponge to get the foundation out and apply it on your face with your fingers. { it was great for my extra dry  flakey skin hawt huh!}

Well a sun cushion looks very similar but it is an all in one product! And you don’t have to use your fingers they come with an antibacterial sponge {i can think of quite a few products that need this technology} not naming any named…eheeem MAC Blotting Powder

  1. Brightening
  2. UV protection
  3. Makeup
  4. Cooling effect to sooth skin
  5. Sweat-proof & Waterproof
  6. Light weight
  7. Quick application for on the go touchups
  8. Very natural application

Now lets just hope these products will arrive in the US a bit faster than the BB Creams because I’m dying to get my mitts on these bad boys!

Taking Care of Yourself

Hello everyone! Thank you for reading and following my blog. I really am lucky to have a job where I love what I do! With that said, I took some JK time yesterday, and it has never felt so good. I went to a heated power hour yoga class at Tenth Gate Yoga….There better be a spot for me next week now that I told you my favorite class! All jokes aside… the class was amazing! The heat was just right, it wasn’t too hot (I hate working out when it is too hot) and the instructor was awesome! I felt like a MILLION bucks when I left there. I was so glad I took time out of my busy schedule at The Beauty Parlour and with my little nugget ‘B’ to take care of myself.  My next class is going to be Paddle board yoga! I mean I have had a paddle board for 2+ years I think it may be time to actually try it out!

If you haven’t yet, be sure to visit Tenth Gate in Portsmouth, RI. It’s an amazing atmosphere, clean, relaxing, and quiet. Beauty isn’t only about the outside, remember to take care of yourself from the inside out. 

NAMASTE!

Summer Makeup

Just as you would with your summer ensembles, lighten up your face makeup as well! As we trot around in linen skirts, flowy blouses, and flip flops, give your face a break and allow your natural sun kissed cheeks to show through.

Tinted moisturizers are always a great go-to, as they provide moisture (some even SPF protection) and a subtle coverage to camouflage imperfections and redness. Here are some simple summer makeup rules to go by during the summer months:

  • A peach or salmon hued blush looks great on all skin tones to provide a fresh-off-the-beach look. Cream blushes can also add a dewy and fresh enhancement.
  • Add a coat of mascara! Mascara is one of those items that girls simply cannot live without. They add an instant open feature to your face, providing a polished look to your eyes and lashes.
  • White or shimmer liner added at the corners of your eyes instantly makes you look more awake and refreshed by making the whites of your eyes seem clearer.
  • Don’t forget your brows! — brow pencils and mascaras can give your brows an instant makeover, providing a fuller and more even appearance. Already have full brows? Try a clear gel to provide a manicured look.
  • Lastly! Lips! Swipe over a nude or pink toned gloss (Jennie Kay Beauty Glosses are AMAZING may we add ;) )
