Rachel Louise Beauty: Casual Outfit and Face of the Day

Hello beauty lovers!! I went out to dinner with my mom, boyfriend, and some co-workers tonight and I figured I would document my getting ready process. So this is a sort of getting ready with me outfit and makeup of the day. We'll see how it actually turns out, I know I felt like I took a million and a half pictures haha.

Also before I really dive in, I have to announce the creation of the Rachel Louise Beauty facebook page! Please head over there and give it a "like" and get updates about all new posts and feel free to give me suggestions! I appreciate it so much!

So I worked a 5-11ish today and I came home and charged my Ipod and then went and mowed the lawn. After being sweaty and sunscreened, I took a shower, sprayed on some of my Healthy Sexy Hair Leave in conditioner, and put my hair into my beloved Turbie Twist. If you haven't tried these, let me tell you how awesome they are. My hair holds water to an obnoxious point, air drying takes forever and since I color my hair, I don't necessarily love blow drying. Whatever these little guys are made of soaks up the water from my hair and helps the air drying process hurry itself along. Love love love! I got mine at Sally's for like 5 or 6 bucks!

Barefaced and rockin the Turbie Twist haha

When I let my hair down, it looked like this:


Naturally, my hair is stick straight and refuses to do anything without either a ton of product or a ton of heat.

So I then added some Tresemme 24 Hour Body Mousse to my roots and liberally applied Sunsilk Waves of Envy Sea Salt Spray throughout my ends. Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. Then I added sprayed in some Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Spray Gel. More scrunching!

This is the crazy result, my bangs are in the process of being grown out and like to do whatever they like and as I mentioned before, my hair doesn't like to do much of anything without crap tons of product. After this I put it in an extremely messy bun and pinned my bangs back so they wouldn't be in my way as I did my makeup.

The stars of this style!

As for my makeup, I didn't want to put on a lot of it or get too fancy since it was going to be a fun hang out.

I went for my Aveeno Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer in Fair to Light, my Revlon PhotoReady Concealor in Fair to help even out some redness, and a light dusting of my Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder in Fair.

I then lightly warmed up my complexion with my ELF Bronzer and Blush Duo. I used my Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Peach Satin and as a highlight, Urban Decay cream highlight in Sin.

For my eyes I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze all over the lid and the crease color from the Wet N Wild ColorIcon trio in Walking on Eggshells to blend. I also used the L'Oreal Infallible shadow in Endless Pearl as a browbone and inner corner highlight. For liner I used Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Bourbon and smudged it out with Mary Kay eyeshadow in Espresso. I also used Espresso under my lower lashline.

I curled my lashes with my Julep Eyelash Curler. Covergirl Lashblast in Very Black is on my top lashes and Maybelline Lash Discovery in Black is on the bottom.

For my brows I used my Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Light Blonde and Maybelline Great Lash in Clear as my brow gel.
