faux fur and sequins

{It's officially sandal season, so naturally, I just had to go get a pedicure this afternoon.  I decided a pretty lavendar color would do, as it is still spring and this weather is fickle.  I will def have to get some hot pink on my toes the next time.}

 

{I have been watching American Idol off and on this season, because I am really not impressed by the talent.  I did like Pia and Paul, but they have packed their bags and left Hollywood.  I also think that I am missing Simon's funny remarks.  One thing that I am impressed with: Jennifer Lopez.  Thought her remarks are sometimes silly, she is always looking FABULOUS.  I have loved her sequined dresses and am dying, I repeat, dying for her glowy skin.  So, I have been using some old + new products to get the JLo glow.  Check them out below.}

{I first start with Rodan + Fields Microderm Paste to get rid of dry skin and to reveal the new, glowy skin.}

{I follow up with my R+F Soothe Treatment, which helps take away redness and adds moisture to my skin.  You must moisturize when going for the JLo look.}

{Mix in some L'Oreal Sublime Bronze with the Soothe treatment.  This sunless tanner + bronzer adds shimmer.  When I use this, I can go without my mineral foundation.}

{The Nars Multiple in South Beach is really where the luminous skin starts to show.  I apply this on the apples of my cheeks and on the area of my upper nose and lower forehead.}

{When you are about to walk out the door, sweep some of this Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc in Pink Mosaic over the Nars, and you will have achieved...

... the JLo glow!}
