Look Book: Errand Day + An Update


I haven't posted my mug here in a while so here's a look from this past Sunday. We had a ton of errands to run so I wanted to be super comfortable! I wore my hair natural (no heat tools used) in a high pomp and side braid with two of my ombre extensions clipped in to help with length. This has been one of my go-to lazy hair do's for the summer because it's quick, easy, and cute.. I usually add some flowers or tie in a bandana for extra flair but it was an especially lazy/casual day.

I paired this lazy hair do with an equally lazy outfit - A loose off-the-shoulder tee (with a black cami underneath), relaxed fit baby-bell jeans in a medium wash and my favorite Desert Life staple - FLIP FLOPS. My jewelry was minimal; A pair of studs, my favorite necklace, a silver thumb ring, and a leather strap bracelet. I carried this studded handbag because it's been on the shelf for a while.

MAKEUP:
-ELF primer
-ELF concealer
-Rimmel foundation
-Airspun powder
-Urban Decay bronzer
-MAC blush
-MAC MSF (highligher)
-Anastasia eyebrows
-Wet N Wild lipstick
-Wet N Wild and Rock & Republic eyeshadows
-Rimmel eyeliner
-Urban Decay eyeliner
-Rimmel mascara

... and here's a goofy picture I took in the car ;D (derp!)
Kinda hard to tell but I went with a blue/green combo.

Apologies for all the cell shots.. these photos were meant for Instagram but I decided to post them here instead since I haven't been showing my blog much love lately. If you'd like to follow me on IG my user name is WitchHazel82. I know the colors and nuances of my makeup aren't very clear which is why I didn't list the specific colors above.

In other news I recently turned 30 (Aug 3rd) and because of this AWFUL milestone my boyfriend and I have planned a trip to Lake Tahoe to celebrate. I had to schedule the trip a couple of weeks off from my birthday because of stuff I had going on at work but the time has finally come.. we leave this Friday and will be gone for about a week. We rented a cabin by the lake and I simply CANNOT WAIT to get there.. I've had a lot going on lately between work and family life so I'm really looking forward to having some R&R.

Purify yourself in the waters of Lake... Tahoe.

(insert favorite Prince gif here)

The place we're renting seems pretty secluded and the reviews are glowing. I especially like that the inside is outfitted with all the modern conveniences and updated decor, and that there's a hot tub out back and a Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. Awwww yeah! That's my idea of 'roughing it!'

    1. Aww, thanks girl! I think I've found a good mix of base products to make it appear that way.. I would never be brave enough to post a bare-faced pic - it would be traumatizing to me and everyone else involved lol.

    1. Thanks so much Anita! I haven't seen that movie but will be sure to keep avoiding it lol I love horror flicks but anything having to do with woods/wilderness, I totally pass on! I'm already such a sissy when it comes to the outdoors, I don't need extra things scaring the crap out of me lol xo
