5 Summer Beauty Must Haves


Hey Pretty!  So it's finally the long awaited season of the year! Well , I prefer Autumn but that's neither here nor there. Its SUMMER ! So lets get straight into the meat of the post hear. ( No particular order)
                            
                                " HEY PRETTY!'S 5 SUMMER MUST HAVES !"       
                                             

                                                   1. SPF Moisturizer/ Sunscreen ! 

So obviously we need moisturizer year around but during the summer the suns UV rays start getting out of hand and doing the most so we need to protect our skin at all cost ! (Yes my fellow "chocolate" skin people that means you too.)  Moisturizers or sunscreens with and SPF 15 or higher usually do that job. My favorite sun screens are hands down the ones  by Banana Boat ! I know you want to tan and soak in the sun but do it safely with out looking like fried chicken. 

                                                    2. Bronzer and Highlighter 
 OH MY GAWD, i cant stress how much of a must this one is for me ! Highlighters in the summer is LIFE! You know that moment when someone turns around and the sun hits the top of their cheek like BAM! *praise hands*. Enough said. My favorite highlighters and bronzers : 

 e.l.f "Gotta Glow" (pretty good dupe for NARS Albatross )
 Lorac Pro - Tantalizer
Too Faced Chocolate Bronzers ( LIFE IN A PACKAGE ,)  
YOU CAN CLICK THE PICTURE TO GET TOO FACED PRODUCTS TOO! 

                                                   3. Bright Colored Lippies ! 
       A simple winged eye and bright bold lip for me is SUMMER TIME FINE ! During the summer, especially if you live in the southern states or some where with a hotter climate, a lot of us just dont        want to wear a heavy full face of makeup so i say simple is better. Simple is also a good way to avoid looking like a melted crayon.  Youtuber " It's My Raye Raye " is the QUEEN of the Simple eye Bold lip look.
  
4. Primers and Setting/Hydrating Sprays  
Need I say more? We all know  "to not prime is a crime".  Remember that melted crayon look we talked about in must have #4? Yea, that's why we prime and set. Some favs: 

Urban Decay - Setting Spray (if you've ever used this you know what the deal is )
Too faced Poreless Primer 
E.l.F Tea Tree Primer 
M.A.C Prep and Prime
H20+ Hydrating Mist  
                                           



5. Body Mist
Ok so its already super hot out and nothing is worse than being in heat and someones perfume is super strong! Heat seems to make perfume smell 5x as strong as they already do so I like to go for Body Mist instead of perfumes. Body mist are light, fresh and just enough to smell good without smelling too strong. 



So pretties that was my top 5 things that i have to have during the summer. Remember to just have fun this summer and soak it in !  Leave a comment and tell what are some of your summer must haves ! Until Next time , Stay you Stay classy and Stay Pretty

"Pretty International" - Beauty Around the World : Nepal

    Hey Pretty!  So every Tuesday here at " Hey Pretty! " we're going to learn about and appreciate beauty from all around the globe. There is no one solid standard of what is considered beautiful and we can see that by taking a look at woman of many different cultures and backgrounds!


To kick off Pretty International lets start with the beautiful country, Nepal ! Nepal is a country located in South Asia with a population of about 27 million.  South Asian coutries such as Nepal, Inda, and Tibet all use images of goddesses (often with orgins in Greek Mythology) as a reference to femininity. An example of this beautiful image of woman is seen in the depiction of Tara. Tara exemplifies "refined beauty".



  In general fair-skinned Nepalese woman are perceived to be more beautiful (as we will see in a lot of countries). The media plays a huge part in the standard of beauty. Nepali women once traditionally wore clothing that aimed to keep their shoulders and legs covered but Nepali women are beginning to adopt a more "western" style of dressing that's is more body-baring.  Physical characteristics like fair skin and thinness have become important in order to find both a job and a husband. Thinness , at one point, was a sign of poverty but now woman are aiming to diet more and achieve a more slim figure.


One ethinc community in Nepal are the "Tamangs". Tamang women wear tamang lungi, tamang jewelry, patuka, tamag cholo, tamang mala and tamag ghalek.


Another ethnic group is called the Magars. The traditional dress of maragrs usually consist of a dark colored sari with a bright yellow or blue cotton cloth wrapped around the waist (patuka) and a wrap up blouse.

Nepali Woman to me are some of the most gorgeous woman on Earth. At the end of the day we are all beautiful no matter where we come from ! Let's appreciate our different standards of beauty. Until next time, Stay you , Stay classy , and Stay Pretty!
                                                 
                                                   Smooches !
