Waterproof Summer Makeup Picks

Hey guys! Summer is basically upon us, at least where I live. Makeup in the summer is always tricky. Between the hot sun and all of the water events, it is easy for your makeup to wash away or run down your face. Waterproof makeup is designed to stay on all day despite the weather. Today, I am going to   be talking about some of the best product options for summer makeup. Lets get started!

Foundation:
Foundation has a reputation for caking, running, and clogging pores in the summer. Personally, I do not wear liquid foundation ever so I do not know much about this area. With that said, I suggest going with a BB Cream with SPF instead of a foundation as it is a bit lighter so it will not crease as badly. I have never tried it, but if you are looking for a place to start, I have read great things about the Dream Fresh BB Cream by Maybelline.

Primer and Eyeshadow:
I would recommend combining these two steps with a Maybelline Color  Tattoo Cream Shadow. These come in a tone of colors, so there is deff one for everyone. They really do last all day and they do not need primer. This eliminated one step which means one less product to melt off. These shadows really do not go anywhere in the pool or in the heat. They have the perfect amount of pigmentation and are easy to apply. Personally, I wear these every day during the summer, especially while I am working at day camp.

Eyeliner:
Covergirl has a fabulous line of waterproof crayon eyeliners that are amazing in the summer. I like to use these all year long because they glide on very easy and are very pigmented. They come in black, dark brown, light brown, midnight blue and more. If you are going to purchase only one of the products I am talking about today, purchase this one. It will stay all day and not run at all. I can just about promise that you will love this product!

Mascara:
For mascara, I would recommend the Maybelline Lash Stiletto. I do not believe that they make this product in brown anymore (or at least I have not seen it in the stores near me for quite some time) but the black is beautiful. This product is pigmented enough for just one coat. However, it is build able if you are looking for a really deep color. I think this is the best mascara out there for the summer because it lengthens and volumes your lashes so you do not need to wear two mascaras. This product does not clump at all and will make your lashes look longer then they ever have before. It does indeed hold up in the heat and will even stay on after hitting the pool.

That is all for today, check back for more summer themed posts, and a new video coming very soon!

Best Fit: How to Start Your Fitness Journey

"Best Fit" Let's start our fitness journey! Incorporating fitness into your daily life is difficult. Life is full of wonderful things to do and it can be hard to prioritize being healthy. Today we are going to jump right in and start incorporating fitness into our daily lives.  *Disclaimer: I am neither a fitness expert nor a doctor. I am here to build a community, not give professional advise. Before beginning your fitness journey, check with your medical professionals to make sure you are physically healthy enough to complete any activities suggested. 1. Pick a time of day for your workout: Picking a time of day is a great first step in starting a healthier lifestyle. Putting it on your calendar (maybe even setting up a reminder notice) will help you hold yourself accountable. It will also remind you that you have set aside time that day to go to the gym so you do not double book yourself.  Personally, I prefer to work out in the late afternoon/ea

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers who
