Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

Woo hoo! It’s Wednesday…finally *wink* That means the work week is half way over. My brain already wants it to be the weekend because I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday. Obviously, I did not have enough coffee yesterday *wink*

Between this beautiful spring weather we are having here in Tennessee + the VIP safari theme this week–I am craving adventure…especially one to South Africa *wink* BUT since visiting South Africa is out of the picture at the moment, I am just going to show y’all this week’s Weekly Whistle + pretend I’m Meryl Streep in Out Of Africa (minus the scene where she battles the lion–that’s just too scary for this chickadee).

Look 1:

I changed up the accessories in this week’s Weekly Whistle to show how something as simple as a different belt can take an ensemble from event-to-event in a snap…or a buckle, if you will *wink*

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome to Beauty Tues.

Staying true to the Safari Theme for this week, I went hunting for a fabulous safari-inspired makeup look….Hm…I wonder where the VIP’s inspiration came from? *wink*

On my adventure, I found inspiration in one of my favorite Meryl Streep films (with the exception of The Devil Wears Prada) + Pinterest. Rather than getting complicated, I created a look that is easy to do and repeatable.

If y’all are anything like me, I like my putting on of makeup to be somewhat effortless and error-free. Given, I almost always mess up on my eyeliner *wink* However, when mixing up my daily routine with things like the VIP Safari Theme, I like to keep it simple yet impactful.

Below, check out the details + what awesome products I used for this week’s VIP Beauty Tues :)

Eyes:

Blended three creme eyeshadow colors–started with the darkest in the outer crease. (products will be in order from darkest to lightest)

Lined eyes with waterproof black liner on top lid.

Created a smudged look on bottom lid with a smokey gray pencil liner.

(Note: this creme color is a lot darker than it appears in the container! If deciding to use, apply in small portions and add as needed.)

Cheeks:

Lips:

Blended a pinky rose shade with a pinky nude shade to add a pop of color for a natural-looking pout.
