My Favorite Summer..

Makeup/Face Products

I know lots of bloggers in the blogging community are doing something similar to this and no I am not copying them I just thought it would be loads of fun to show you lovelies some of my favorite summer products and this week I'm doing my favorite summer makeup/face products! I have become a stickler (very persistent) with my face cleaning, taking off my makeup, and being good to my skin etc. I love lots of different products but these are my all time FAVS!

• Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion- I use this twice a day everyday!
• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes- I use these to take my makeup off also everyday! 
• Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads- I use these after I take my makeup off to clean my face/
• Maybelline Great lash clear mascara- I love this because if you sweat or get wet then you don't have black all over your face! 
• Clean&Clear Invisible Blemish Treatment- I use this when I get those annoying pimples in the summer! :\
• NYC Sun 'n' Bronze Bronzing Powder in the shade "Hamptons radiance"- I use this everyday so my face has some "glow"! 

 These are the products! 

I use these products all the time! In the summer I am pretty lazy with the makeup, when I'm just going to be home all day or run to the store. Even though your being lazy you defiantly need to keep your face super clean! :)

Thanks for reading! I love seeing comments and views! :) Remember to follow me on twitter and my blog! :) Love ya'll -Amelia

Entertainment Monday #5

Katie Holmes..

As some of you may know Katie Holmes is very much in the spotlight at the moment because of her surprising divorce from Tom Cruise. I thought this was very "out of the blue" but this is defiantly not about her divorce but her amazing sense of style! She always looks put together and has seemed to look "glowing" lately!

 This is the look! 

 From the Bottom Up! 

• Cowboy Booties (tan) $27.80 http://www.forever21.com/
• A-Line Skirt (rose) $12.50 http://www.forever21.com/
• Jersey Tank $12.95 http://www.hm.com/us/subdepartment/LADIES?Nr=4294929524#Nr=4294962278&N=30409
• Patent Med Shoulder Bag (black) $29.80 http://www.forever21.com/

This is my version of her outfit! The only thing that is different about my version is that instead of a long sleeve shirt I decided to go with a tank for a more summery look!

Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! I would love for you to follow my blog and twitter. Also if you have any questions comment or e-mail me!
