Red, White, & Blue in the Face: Independence Day Beauty Picks

As everyone gets ready for this weekend's festivities, I'm sad to say I haven't even found something I want to wear. I'm thinking a fun dress and wedges duo but haven't gotten the time to look! C'est la vie! Whenever I don't have the time to snag something new and fun to wear, I always rely on makeup to play my look up a bit!

This all purpose powder comes in pearlescent ivory shade and can be considered quite the triple threat. Use it as an eyeshadow, a highlighter, or even just to add a little shimmer to your look. Plus it's smooth powder formula allows for easy application - especially for those on-the-go touch ups.

Equal parts lip-saver and punch of color, my shade of choice is their new Red Serum #850. Did I mention it's packed with mango butter and is also SPF 20?
