In the clear.

I can see clearly now...

I’m usually not the type who follows accessories trends, simply because I can’t stand wear anything that has a shelf life of only a few months, but I’m curiously drawn to this necklace from Madewell. It’s way larger than what I’m used to wearing around my neck, but somehow far from overpowering, which is due to the crystal clear jewels. I love the idea of wearing something so versatile, it can go with anything in my closet.

I’m curious – has anyone else jumped on the clear bandwagon? The trend has been voted one of the hottest for spring, but I’ve got a feeling we’ll see much more of them through the rest of the year.

Sheer genius.

Every so often, a product comes along and really knocks my socks off. Such was definitely the case when I tried PIXI’s Sheer Cheek Gel, a best-selling product that delivers the most natural-looking flush with major staying power. Since I’m usually not the girl who remembers to touch up her makeup throughout the day, this works particularly well when I need to look polished, but don’t have the time (or will) to put in the effort. I love its sheer wash of color the most, but also its simplicity to apply. Because it goes on super sheer, it’s goof-proof if you tend to overdo your blush (there’s nothing less chic than clown makeup, no?). So for those of your ladies who prefer to look delicately flushed, as though you’ve just taken a brisk walk in fresh air, this is definitely the product for you.

PIXI’s Sheer Cheek Gel is available in four different shades for $18.00 at Target stores nationwide and online at pixibeauty.com and target.com.
