NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – Still Very Much Obsessed

Posted in FACE, FOUNDATION, MAKE-UP, MELI'S FAB FINDS, MELI'S MAKEUP BAG, NARS, PRODUCTS I LOVE on September 15, 2012 by stylebymeli

Back in February I wrote about post regarding NARS Sheer Glow foundation and since then I have also tried a few others. However, at the end of the day, I’m still in love with NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. I realized that I should have matched myself a few shades darker being that their color system starts off really light (making it a great choice for lighter complexions). Keep in mind they also carry a full range of colors that are suitable for darker skintones.

Not only do I love the look of sheer glow, but it’s unbelievable how many compliments I get on my skin and overall makeup in general. (Trust me, my skin is not that perfect to begin with, I have been dealing with breakouts for the past couple years from hormonal imbalances. I am very thankful for this foundation and I guess take some partial credit for being a really good makeup artist too of course! ;)).

Currently, I’m wearing NARS Sheer Glow in the shade Punjab.

[Style Inspiration Board] – September 2012

Posted in DENIM, DRESSES, FASHION, FASHION WEEK, HANDBAGS, MAKE-UP, SHOES, SHOPPING, STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD, VINTAGE with tags fall 2012 fashion, fall 2012 trends, fashion 2012 on September 5, 2012 by stylebymeli

Here’s a look at what I’m inspired by this month…

* metallic denim - Denim is no longer just a basic blue and you can find all kinds of variations including vibrant colors and funky prints. Moving into the new season, I really like seeing denim with a metallic finish, especially gold which always looks great with classic black.

* dark lips - I have always loved the look of dark lips against fair skin. Fall is the perfect time to start rocking this trend.

* shades of plum - Vintage grape and wine shades are totally making a comeback both on the fashion front and in makeup.

* envelope clutch - Oversized envelope styled bags are a small and chic way to hold all your essentials. When they feature a strap, it’s an added bonus.

* ankle wrap heels - I especially like the look with the peep toe, it shows a lot of skin while the ankle strap holds you in for a little bit of extra comfort.

* 40′s inspired fashion - Many fall runways were inspired by the vintage elegance of the 1940′s which included classic styles mixed with a little drama.

September Welcome: Hi everyone! I’m getting a late start to the month as I been busier than usual and I’m also excited to share that I am working on a completely new blog. I don’t want to share too much information about it just yet (you will just have to be patient with me ;)) but I can promise you that it will be fabulous and more focused on makeup.

On a slightly sad note, I won’t be writing here as frequently as I have in the past as I’m putting a lot of my time and energy into the new blog which I’m hoping to launch sometime this month. PLEASE continue to stay tuned with this blog as I will eventually post up all the information on here once it’s ready to go live and still continue to post new content whenever I can.

If you haven’t already, please be sure to subscribe to this blog (in the right column there’s a subscription form where you enter your email) as I will be sending out an email to all my subscribers when the new blog is ready to go!

THANK YOU everyone for your constant support and always checking in with my blog, it is greatly appreciated!!! :)
