Bleached Summer

When we think of tie-dye, what other than a hippie look comes to our mind? We remember those days of dipping and creating our own, fun and unique colorful t-shirts.

This technique of gradient dying or something completely random, made on pants, shorts or shirts is getting high on the fashion trendy world but in a more orderly and sophisticated way.

If you are into stained or bleached clothing, then this trend is for you. Tie-dye comes in and out of fashion but this year we see it rising on the streets with celebrities and fashion bloggers rocking this style, in a appealing summer spirit with a rocker-hippy-chic look.

Although we can find clothing in this trend out in stores, we can perfectly create ourselves this bleached look on a low budget and transform some boring left out pieces in our wardrobe, into something fun and refreshing, totally trendy for this season. It´s as easy as dipping them into bleach on the area that we would like to create that effect and leaving out an untouched part. For example, pick out some pants than you don´t use anymore and cut them out into shorts and bleach them into a mixture of water and bleach. Voilá!! You got your own bleached summer look.

Have fun!

DIY Tinted moisturizer

It's summer and you don't want to go heavy on your makeup, especially with the foundation. As you may know, foundation should be switched in the summer since your skin tone will be different with that little extra color from the sun but please never forget to use sunscreen or moisturizers with spf. 

If you don't want to switch foundation than this might be the solution when it's color is a bit too dark for the day then it'll feel sheerer on the skin. 

This is a really easy simple trick in case you don't have tinted moisturizer but if you want that little color and evenness to your skin without having a foundation melt-down or plastery skin, mix your foundation with your daily moisturizer. You will be hydrated and look natural!

You can make the mix on your hand by adding first the moisturizer and then the liquid foundation (just a little for the color). Apply it on your face and voila, you have that nice fresh even colored skin and perfect for summer. Supper quick and easy plus the moisturizer will help the foundation look more natural and creamy. Don't forget to use oil-free foundation. 

Not only can this be used anytime during the year, but also saves you a bunch of time in the morning, getting ready for your busy day.

Get that healthy natural look perfect for the summer and save some money too!
