With the high temperatures as the summer comes into full bloom, make-up tends to look better au-natural, and what better way to achieve that than with a perfect complexion?

What are your tips for achieving great skin?
So, I was recently browsing around H&M, and noticed they came out with a make-up line, complete with eyeshadows, brushes, and false eyelashes, among others. I am normally skeptical when clothing stores come out with make-up lines, as they are usually cheap and don’t work too well, but I wanted to get some false eyelashes and thought I’d try ‘em out. I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality of the lashes- they adhered perfectly (I never use the glue that comes with the pack, however- I am an loyal fan of Ardell Lash Grip Eyelash Glue), but the eyelashes went on easy and stayed the entire night. As a bonus, I’ve been able to reuse them twice, and they are still in amazing shape to wear again- well worth the $5.95.

Morning beauty routines need to be simple, quick and look natural and fresh. I use neutral colors to achieve this look, and the Urban Decay NAKED eyeshadow palette has the perfect shades of golds and bronzes to make my eyes look bright. A bit of concealer to cover under eye circles and imperfections works perfect for a day look, as foundation can often look heavy and overdone in the daytime (Clinique airbrush concealer is amazing!). To add an airbrushed look, apply a bit of finishing powder or bronzer to minimize shine. I like to add a line of liquid eyeliner on the top of my lash line to keep the natural look, and Smashbox Limitless Liquid eyeliner or Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner work great to achieve a skinny line (and can be used later at an angle to achieve a thicker line). Finish the eyes with a couple swipes of mascara, and curl the eyelashes to set the look and really make your eyes pop. Finally, apply some light lip balm, like Maybelline Baby Lips (they have neutral and tints, depending on your preference) to make your lips look soft, and add a bit of clear gloss to add shine and make your pucker stand out.

Beauty truly emanates from within, which is why it is so important to put the best ingredients into our bodies. Every day, I drink a smoothie made from natural fruits and vegetables, and it gives me tons of natural energy and makes my skin glow. Therefore, I want to share one of my favorites with you all!
Banana Date Smoothie:
Serves one
1 cup vanilla almond milk or coconut milk, depending on preference
1 ripe banana
1 date (pit removed) or about 5 chopped dates
1 teaspoon raw honey
4 ice cubes
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Add a sprinkle of agave nectar or dust some cinnamon on top, if desired. Serve in a tall glass with a straw, and enjoy!
