Summer Beauty Essentials

Hello everyone!

I’m Sahily from Prettyinpigment.com and I’m a South Florida beauty and fashion blogger. I have been passionate about makeup since my childhood when I used to put makeup on my grandmother. My skills improved through the years and I have been a freelance makeup artist for over 5 years. Pretty In Pigment is where I share my love for makeup with the world by sharing tips, tricks, tutorials, product reviews and inspirational makeup looks. One of my favorite things about blogging is trying out new products and voicing my thoughts about them, as well as tricks on how to use them best.

I have spent the last few weeks putting together my top beauty picks for summer 2013. Memorial Day weekend has just passed, which officially means that summer has arrived! It’s time to break out the floppy hats, suits, sunnies and your summer beauty essentials!

Camo is a print that normally reserved for the military and white trash. Did you see Honey Boo Boo’s mom’s wedding? It was a gown of camo and frightening! I believe that it is possible to make camo chic with a few pints to keep in mind.

OCC Stained Gloss

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, more commonly known as OCC has some amazing products. I first used the lip tar for my wedding. It did not budge and stayed looking great for almost my entire wedding day. That was pretty impressive! The New York based, cruelty-free cosmetics company is well known for their long-lasting lip tars, which became mainstream after they launched at Sephora about a year ago.

Summer French Manicure

I am so glad that summer is here as the summer nail polish colors are so bright and fun. Try this Summer French Manicure and match it to your toenail polish as well. The easiest way to accomplish this look is using shellac or gel nail polish. I had to convince my manicurist that he could do it.

To accomplish this modified summer french manicure: First, polish and completely cure the color polish and then paint the French tip on and cure the entire nail again. This can be done with any color. I absolutely loved my modified Mermaid Tears French Manicure from last season.

Getting Ready Wedding Pictures

When my photographer and I were going over the plan for wedding photos, I chose to spend more time on the photos of me getting ready for the wedding rather than at the end of the reception. The getting ready wedding pictures from Pinterest and wedding blogs enticed me.
