Mermaids Monthly Makeup

Hey!

Everyone has a go-to makeup look goal, whether its pretty, edgy, or bright! But c’mon, its hard to actually, well, find the makeup. But never fear, mermaids here! Here’s some gorgeous makeup, tested, and approved by me, thats cheap ($30-under) and pretty awesome.

For the natural look:

  • Clinique Color Surge Eyeshadow Quad

EYES: With four different colors, this palette has an infinite amount of beautiful look-possibilities.

  • Revlon Lip Gloss
Colorburst Lip Gloss

Even though the color here is red, this yummy, shiny gloss comes in amazing colors like ‘crystal water’ and ‘sun baked’. My personal fave is Pink Ice.

  Bronzing Powder

The M.A.C. Bronzing Powder is perfect at giving you a gorgeous glow!

For the smoky look:

L’Oreal One Sweep Eye Shadow

It’s been popping up everywhere, and lets just say, it’s so worth the fuss. Easy and simple? Yes please.

Dior Addict Lip Balm

Dior - Dior Addict Lip Balm

When wearing a smoky eye, you don’t want the lips to be too bright, so a coral smooth balm is your fix!

Nyx Glitter Pallet Ice Queen

With a smoky look, a little bit of sparkle is key. This affordable ($5.49!) pallette is my hero!

For a bold look:

SEPHORA COLLECTION – Colorful Duo Eyeshadow

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Colorful Duo Eyeshadow

Blue brings out every eye, and this duo is a perfect example. The colorful pair tastefully (no tacky looks here!) makes your eyes practically scream “notice me!”

Lip Smacker® Cotton Candy

If anyone wears bright lips and eyes, they’re doomed. Thats where yummy-tasting, clear balm comes in, and believe me, you’ll be applying it like there’s no tomorrow!

Ôscillation Intensity

The brush? Amazing! The product? Better than amazing! This guarentees to give you lonnnngg luscious lashes.

One thing thats mermaids fave part of spring is sundresses, especially floral and polka dotted ones. Dresses with cool prints are musts, like this adorable one from forever 21. 



$13.86, this blue and yellow “geo” dress is perfect with a huge stack of bangles!

 

Another great part of spring is colors. We LOVE super bright shirts and pencil skirts, just not together!


$15.80 The forever 21 shirt is bright and cheery, thanks to the hot pink color and  embroidered daisies!

The red skirt is seriously cute with a neutral shirt, while the yellows pleats make us smile!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   $17.80 Yellow skirt- http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=LOVE21&Category=BTMs&ProductID=2015035485&VariantID=                                                                                      $15.80 Red skirt- http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=btms_skirts&ProductID=2015036789&VariantID=

What else do we love? Rompers. In any color or print, these are gonna be BIG! 


$8.96 The red and cream floral is minimal, leaving it open to accessorize.

Last but not least…umbrellas. OK, its cheesy, but you never know how rainy its gonna be, so you might as well be prepared with umbrellas like this vintage one from umbrellas.net

The Signature Bella Umbrella Pagoda Umbrella in Ravishing Red

This “ravishing red” umbrella is a total must have for spring. Also, as a bonus, its vintage-inspired!
