Things Remembered Giveaway

personalized bridesmaid gifts

Personalized gifts always add that extra level of special, especially with bridesmaid’s gifts! But what do you get your girls to let them know how much they mean to you? It’s easy when you can engrave your own words on the perfect gift. That’s why Things Remembered is such a great resource for brides. Their artisan engravers can customize any gift while you shop (at one of their more than 600 stores nationwide) or you can order online for home delivery or to pick up in store.
Plus, their gifts – from compacts to bracelets to sparkly cell phone cases – are just so lovely!

Temptu Bridal Kit

DIY air brush how-to

We have recently been introduced to the TEMPTU Bridal Kit, which is an at home makeup air bursh kit that can be used for just about anybody in the wedding party whether it’s for the bride-to-be, bridesmaid, or even mother of the bride. The Bridal Kit includes 3 Foundations, 2 Blushes, a Highlighter, Primer, Bronzer and 2 Concealers. Today, we are doing a little DIY for doing your own air brush makeup, moving from concealer through to the highlighter! Are you ready?

Step 1: Fresh Face

Step 2: TEMPTU® Undereye Concealer (color 106 Light) – apply to your problem areas (under eyes, etc) with this multi-tasker concealer with DIAMONDCore Technology, which has light-reflecting diamond dust to diffuse imperfections and is super moisturizing with vitamin complex.

Step 3: TEMPTU AIRpod Foundation – (color 003 Warm Ivory). Hold the airbrush “like a pencil,” palm distance away from the face (about 4 – 6 inches) and apply the makeup in circular motion while lightly pulling back on the trigger.

Temptu0787

Step 4: TEMPTU AIRpod Blush – (color Peony Pink). Application is similar to Foundation. Start at the apples of the cheek and move up towards the temple.

Temptu0792

Step 5: TEMPTU AIRpod Highlighter on Face – (color Champagne). The trick here is to start at the brow bone and move in circular C motion down to the cheekbone. You can add under the brow bone, too.

Step 6: Highlighter on chest, shoulders and décolletage – (also Champagne). Fab for when wearing anything with exposed shoulders and décolletage. Apply in circular motion and you’ll notice a luminous glow where the sun will naturally hit!

And that’s it! Absolutely flawless makeup!
