We Are Wearing: e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
I’ve got yet another e.l.f. product to woo you with this week! This time around it’s the e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder, which comes in at a stunning $3. Yep, that’s it! The substantial compact comes with a mirror, but no brush (hey, for $3, I don’t mind recycling one of my existing makeup brushes for this!), and is modeled similarly to the NARS Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo, $40 at Sephora. First use the bronzer as a contour on the cheekbones and all over the face, then come in with the blush, applied to just the apples of the cheeks. Great for adding some layered color to your face, as well as having two options in one in your makeup bag!

How to Find and Style Your Perfect Party Dress!
Partnered Post
When taking in some of the latest trends in party dresses, looking stylish is always a must, but finding a piece that you can wear over and over again makes the investment quite worth it. Some tips to consider when looking for the perfect dress is to have a great pair of heels to go with any color or style. Peep toe or pumps in a satin and/or metallic hue seem to add a great versatility to your wardrobe, especially since Ladies Clothes come in a wide variety of silhouettes and fabrications! A smart little clutch that is of similar material and color to your shoes make pairing it up with any dress an easy choice.
Party and formal attire ranging from weddings to a work event have expanded to include chic details such as long exposed zippers and artfully crafted jersey dresses that will give you more use to transition these pieces to day with a smart well-cut blazer, shawl, or little cardigan. Look for unique and interesting details that you know you’ll love in the dress cut, the fabrics, and adornments such as lace, embroidery, beads and sequins. For solid party dresses, don’t be afraid to jazz them up via some fashion forward tights in bright hues or a pair that carries a unique print. Remember that with the right weight and texture, your party dress can also double as a chic little holiday number as well! Add a dose of sparkle via jewelry or eye makeup, and you are all set to go!
