All About Cheeks: Nars Blush Bronzer Trio

Whether you read it on this blog, saw it on countless magazine polls, or heard it from your favorite make up artist, Nars Orgasm blush lives up to the hype. It has a coral-pink color that can be worn soft or piled on for a more dramatic look. The shade is flattering on so many skin tones and that is why it is so beloved. 

Nars has now figured out a way for you to enjoy this naughtily named blush to its full potential this summer. The limited edition Blush Bronzer Trio ($55), which includes Orgasm blush, Laguna bronzer and Albatross highlighter. All conveniently packaged together in a zipped up compact so you can take it with you on steamy summer evenings. 

I like how Monika here is wearing the Trio. Blush swiped on the cheek, a little bronzer where the sun naturally hits you, and the illuminater dabbed on the top of the cheek bone and just below the eye brow. 

There is also a great tutorial on The Beauty Department on how to use bronzer to contour your face. I have been using a few of those tricks lately and loved it. 

Every girl wants to look sun kissed and fresh faced in the summer (or on vacay) and I love how you can get there with just one purchase.

Just A Little Catty

I don't know about you, but I miss my weekly dose of SoCal drama. From prom weekend in Laguna, to internships at Teen Vogue, and drama filled nights at the club, I miss it all.

Laguna Beach, The Hills, and The City are all just former memories on my TiVo.

Lauren Conrad had a lot to do with me tuning in each week for too many years to admit. She seemed cool, as real as you could be on a TV show, and had a classic California style that continues to be emulated across the country.

LC now has launched a new beauty site called The Beauty Department along with her long time make-up artist and hair stylist. So far, it has had some great content and is now on my daily read list.

I love seeing beauty tutorials online and have used YouTube to scour for them before. The Beauty Department does a great job with these and best thing is you get to do your hair and make up with LC.

Check out the video on how to conquer LC's signature cat eye, which I love. Or even this pretty, Old Holywood inspired hair.

There is great inspiration, tips, and trends that you can find on the site. Plus, you get to spend a little bit more time with your favorite drama queen.
