Makeup Must Haves in a Theme Park.

So, like I said before, by the time you read this.....
WE WILL BE IN DISNEY!!!!
So I figured, what better beauty post then Makeup in a park!? As you can imagine, these are the things that are currently being used while I am running around all Disney parks!

1. A setting spray: So, sometimes parks can be hot. And you get sweaty. Other times there are water rides where your face gets a mist of water, or maybe it feels like a bucket gets poured on your head. A setting spray has and will really help keep your makeup during these situations.
2. Waterproof anything: Same as before, you will get sweaty and possibly wet. How awful would all your vacation pictures be if your mascara is running and it looks like you have been crying?! Nope, keep it waterproof
3. Keep it light: Don't put on a full face of foundation and powder and all that jazz. You want to keep it light and natural so your not feeling like a melting mess of makeup. BB cream or a tinted moisturizer would be best. Especially with SPF to keep that pretty face from looking like a sunburned mess!
4. Keep it natural: Do you really need to go to a park with a full smokey eye and red lips?! Nope! Just pop on a cream shadow (especially a color tattoo that stays 24-hours) or just a light brown matte shadow. Or, if you feel comfortable, don't wear any shadow!!! Just pop on some waterproof mascara, some BB cream and go!
5. Bring some lip-balm with SPF: I mean the SPF is self explanatory. Sunburned lips SUCK! Don't put on some glittery gloss that might not only attract some sun but not protect them. And, I don't know about you, but with the sun, the eating and drinking, fast rides, these are all recipes for my lips to be SUPER chapped. So a chapstick or lip-balm is a MUST!!!!

And that is about it! Keep it simple, natural, and safe! Don't take any time away from your vacation doing touch-ups and such. I hope this helps the next time you go to a theme park or fair. Let me know if you have anymore advice! I would love to hear it.

Stay Beautiful!

Product Review: Fake Bake Self-Tanner

So I am going to be real with you, I am PALE! And want to know the worst part?! I am Hispanic! 50% in fact! How am I so darn pale?!?!

During the Summer, if I make any effort to tan, I can get really golden brown. But this summer we have been so busy that I haven't been tanning. And the worst part about being so pale is that finding foundation that will match becomes impossible. And I knew with the Fall-time, it was only going to get worse!

So, I decided to try a Self-Tanner. I have only spray tanned once before my High School prom and it was a disaster! So needless to say, I was nervous. But I sent Dillon to Ulta to grab a highly recommended tanner. And he came back with Fake Bake Flawless. Which, luckily, came with a glove that I heard was great for application. So, I stripped down to my underwear, and a happy Dillon got to apply this tan.

Through many jokes, laughing, slipping and sliding, we finally got the tan applied! The spray goes on pretty thick and dark. So it is not a clear liquid that turns into tan, it comes out brown. Which I like because you can see where any uneven spots appear or missing areas. You then take the glove and buff it into your skin. You will see an immediate difference. You will become a sun-tanned goddess in a matter of seconds!

Then, once you get it all over your body, you let yourself dry. Which does not take long. I usually put a towel on the bed and and lay down for a minute or two, just to make sure I am dry. It is actually pretty relaxing. It applies PERFECTLY and gets a little darker after a couple hours. It is brown toned and not orange toned. Which is why I like it. No one wants to look like a crazy oompa loompa. And the tan is not that intense. I mean you can build it up over a couple days of application, but I just wanted a subtle glow. And it lasts a long time. I have only re-done it once a week just to make sure it doesn't fade too much. But within that week it fades about as much and as fast as a real tan does.

Things I would suggest: Do this early evening. It gets darker overtime so if you leave it over night and shower in the morning, you will have minimum issues. I would also suggest standing on a towel. The first time I did not do that and I ended up with ORANGE/BROWN feet! Because the mist of the spray would settle on the ground and I would stand it in unknowingly. So I ended up with some crazy feet! I would also suggest that if you can, get someone else to help you. I have short little T-Rex arms, so I would NEVER be able to get an even tan on my back. So luckily Dillon doesn't mind being my personal tanner!

So, bottom line, I would give this product an: A!

I would absolutely recommend it to others looking for a little extra boost!

Stay Beautiful!
