Hi guys! I’m sharing my favorite things from one of the best beauty sales of the year – Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty going on now through April 7th. Every day Ulta is offering a new promotion on some of their best selling items. Here’s what’s on major sale for today only!:

Shiseido’s Sunscreen (was $34 $17)

One of the best formulas out there – a lightweight, milky fluid with a high SPF (which is rare because high SPF usually means a thick formula that turns your face white). I always use a high SPF when going out in the sun and this is a VERY good brand to snag while it’s on sale today.

Butter London Glazen Lip & Eye Gloss (was $24, now $12)

One of the coolest eyeshadow innovations out there – shimmering jelly that gives your eyelids a glossy finish. I put a little bit of regular powder eye shadow on and then finish the inside and middle of my lids off with this shimmer-y gel like dries like a powder and lasts all day (wearing: Spark).

Other favorites on Ulta right now:

Taste Tartest Double Take Eyeliner

Half liquid liner and half pencil, an intense black liner. I love the two options for different occasions.

Banana Powder

After applying my foundation, I use this as a color correcting powder. I use this before contouring!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow

So many colors and love the shimmer effect. I’ve been wearing ‘midnight cowboy rides again’ since high school!

Where are my April babies at!? 🙋🏼‍ My birthday is 1 week from today, so I put together this wishlist with a bunch of random gift ideas: a vacuum (lol the only thing I asked my mom for), socks, colorful Jenga? Trying to get creative over here because finding unique gift ideas is hard!

If you’re looking for a gift for any of the upcoming occasions: graduation, spring + summer birthdays, engagements, showers, new job, long-distance friend present, or ‘just because gifts’ – here are some of my suggestions! Happy almost fri 🙂 🙂

Wearing Style: Demi in ‘Blushing Pink’ (45 other color options)

It’s no secret that being a bridesmaid can get to be quite the expensive and time consuming commitment. But – coming from a girl who’s been a bridesmaid in 7 weddings over the last few years… I confidently say there aren’t too many friendship badges more honorable than the fact that one of your best girls asked you to stand at her side on her most important day.

It’s an honor, a memorable experience, and a fun night to get all dressed up and party with the people you love. Here are some of my tips for when it comes to bridesmaid dresses, hair, and accessorizing…

Bridesmaid Hairstyle Ideas

Here are some of my favorite bridesmaid hairstyle ideas I’ve used for past weddings. All the way down, half up, braidstyles, topknots, etc (pin this collage with the top left button on the image when you hover to refer to later!):

I love the idea of adding a flower crown, flower comb, or baby’s breath to your hair to compliment the brides bouquet. This is a gorgeous crown made by my friend Allison from Crowning Event makes the prettiest bouquets, crowns, and other hair accessories for brides & bridesmaids here in Chicago, find her here online and on IG here.

Bridesmaid Accessory Ideas

I love BHLDN for accessories for both the bridesmaids & the bride…

Bridesmaid Dresses

Let’s be honest. How many times have you actually worn the bridesmaid dress again? I think we can all agree a bridesmaid dress is USUALLY a one-time dress. So, we’re looking for something pretty and well made that doesn’t break the bank. The pink dress I’m wearing above is from the Azazie Collection and is the collection we wore for my best friend’s wedding this year. They offer complementary custom sizing, the dresses are gorgeous, and the price point is awesome.

Custom info: They offer a free custom fit option! Which means they customize your bust/waist/hip areas to fit your measurements. They also adjust the length according to your height and your heel preference, easing the burden of some of your post-purchase alterations. AMAZING right? And so ideal for my fellow petites who are constantly altering dresses.
