Ingredients of Style

A couple weeks ago I won a giveaway hosted by http://www.IngredientsofStyle.com/, which is a wonderful blog by Louise that explains the science behind beauty products and cosmetics.

For example, if you've ever wondered why silicone is in so many hair products and skin products that we use everyday, those questions are answered on her blog.  Sometimes the ingredients in what we put on ourselves are dismissed, but many of them can be damaging or have long term effects on our bodies.  Good thing there is more knowledge on these type of things nowadays, thanks to blogs like Ingredients of Style.




I received quite a handful of things! I'm really excited to try all this stuff out, especially the Lip Elixir which I don't think is sold where I live.  Look how pretty the lip gloss is as well! I've been wanting to try the Maybelline BB Creams as well and since I have 2 shades I can mix them once I get darker in the summer.  I was also sent a $25 gift card to J.Crew, hello spring clothes!!
Thank you so much Louise, I'm super grateful and happy that I won your giveaway.  Check out her blog as well as her twitter if you have any questions on makeup products!

Spring Sneakers

Untitled #283

I don't know what is is but I've really been loving slip on sneakers lately! I really love the boyish look that they have which can easily be spiced up with simple prints and designs.  I love the mints and pastels for spring but a darker pair could also easily be transitioned into.  On those lazy days slip ons are perfect to wear with a nautical tee and some boyfriend jeans!
