Beauty Fav's

We all have that "favorite" make-up color (or, lucky for us, a make-up stylist that has figured it out for us and continues to mix it up and redesign our style) or hair product that we just "can't live without". Or, we have no clue in the world what we should be using as we near "that day" or "that event". As we mentioned from the start, we both love all things hospitable and what could be more lovely and respectful than looking your best to greet your guests. That simple form of hospitality, too, requires a little for thought.

As such, Trish and I have put together our current fav's. We hope this offers you a little start to week inspiration. Yes, we do believe feeling your best runs hand in hand with looking your best. It is what it is and we fully subscribe to the "wake up, dress up and show up" method of life. That is not to say that we always practice what we preach in perfect form. Simply, we buy it hook line and sinker!

Below are a few of this month's "must haves" for each of us in striving to look our personal best. Let's re-iterate, we're talking looking your personal best. We are all firm believers that there is no, one "most beautiful woman" or "best dressed". Style is what you want it to be! Here's where we want to be at this moment.

Niki:
Have we met? I'm a giant fan of Fonda Lee as a make-up stylist, but also feel like her line of products are a direct drop from heaven. She had me at "fan brush". Yes, you read that right. It turns out that the brush matters and who new a simple makeup brush could make someone feel like a new woman? Fonda always has it figured out!

Here are a few of my current favorites:

Shadow (yes, the color matters depending on your own color): Subtle contour in transition applied with none other than a fan brush. A "pop shade" as Fonda Lee would say would be the Pom Pom color applied with her amazing pencil brush.

Liner: Black smoke using the retractable liner brush.

I'm also in love with "Unstoppable" lip color. This is a color that I first saw the lovely Fonda Lee use on the beautiful, Tracie pictured above!

Trish: Pictured above and listed below are a few products that I use daily.

1. La Mer Cream for the face.
2. Vitamin C Cream from The Body Shop (again for the face)
3. Brightenex 04 under the Zo Medical line by Obagi.

Wishing you a beautiful day!

Niki & Trisha
