I’ve been looking for the right pair of Aviator sunglasses for what seems like a lifetime, and these just may fit the bill!

This pair is inspired by a classic Aviator but with feminine details that appear to be far more flattering than many counterparts. Plus, I LOVE the purple color!

Ralph by Ralph Lauren Eyewear Pearlized Square Aviator Sunglasses are available from Bloomingdale’s for $99.

These days, it seems like everybody is making a gradual self-tanner, but this one from St. Tropez’s new range is specifically created for the face!

St. Tropez Everyday Gradual Tanner for Face is infused with some serious good-for-your-skin ingredients like aloe and vitamin E, plus it boasts St. Tropez’s Aromaguard, their trademarked fragrance technology that eliminates that notorious self-tanner smell by at least 70%!

I’ve been mixing a small amount into my daily moisturizer for the most natural-looking glow without the mess (or stink!) of typical self-tanners.

St. Tropez Everyday Gradual Tanner for Face is available from Nordstrom for $25.

LOOK #1: MODERN PROM QUEEN

For a modern twist on the classic prom queen look go angelic… with an edge. Try a heavy lined eye with a super pale lilac-pink lip.

To achieve the winged look, begin at the inner corner of the upper lid. Using Look of Opening Line Liquid Liner in Ebony Edge 12, apply a line that gets thicker as you approach the outer corner of your lid. Swoop the line slightly up past the outer corner of the eye. Beginning at the center of the eye, apply eyeliner to the lower lid until it meets the eyeliner on the upper lid. Finish with Big Flirt Thickening Mascara in Black Wink 01.
• Lip: Draw attention with a sheer lilac-pink lip – Chickstick Sheer & Shiny Lipcolor in Dainty 26.
• Cheek: Lightly dust apples of cheeks with Peek-A-Blush Sheer Powder Cheek Color in Popsie 10

• Eye: Apply Dreamy Eyes Eyeshadow in Chill Out 01 all over lid, from lashline to browbone – this is your base. For additional drama, apply to the inner tearducts as well, so you really get that pop of silvery white. Next apply a mix of Ink Spell 42 and Silver Fog 35 to from lashline to crease, intensifying it on the outer lid and outer crease. Also, gently tug Ink Spell just under your outer lower lash line–only a smidge. Blend well for the soft silver smoky effect. Complete the look with It Curl! Lash Curling Mascara In Bombshell Black.

• Cheek: Lightly dust apples of cheeks with Peek-A-Blush Sheer Powder Cheek Color in Heartthrob 03.

LOOK #4: NATURALLY GLAM

For an understated look that’s still feels “dressed up” opt for a palette of shimmery pinks and plums. Pair a mix of pinks and plums on the lids, lightly lined and finished with mascara with a medium-pink lipstick for a polished, yet fresh and naturally beautiful look.
