The weather is starting to get better! This means it is time to start thinking about pool and beach wear!

As the economy continues to open up, and more people are vaccinated, it is safe to start going out more. This means, the beach and pool parties are calling our names! Time to get our outfits ready!

The 2021 swim season has a few new swimwear trends for us to fall in love with. We are looking at swimwear which is easier to move in, so we can play in the pool, and at the beach. Another trend this swim season is the one shoulder one-piece. I love this one. It really looks high-fashion by the pool or at the beach. That blue one shoulder suit above is calling my name; and it’s in my shopping cart!

The bikini is the two-piece of the year. Look for tank style tops, one shoulder tops, and twisted fabrics. For the bottom of the bikini, we are reliving the 1980s with higher hips cuts, and waistbands up to the belly button; if not covering the belly button. The backs of suits this year are a bit cheeky; so don’t cheat on your squats and lunges! Work that bootie!

Since spring can be a little cooler than summer, look for cover-ups which can cut the wind or keep you a little bit warmer. I love these jumpsuits, long cover-up dresses, and these cover-up pants. This time of year, it’s a good idea to carry a lightweight cardigan sweater or sweatshirt with you to the pool or the beach. You never know then the wind will kick up, or the fog will roll in!

ShadeM Beauty liquid lipstick review

shadem beauty liquid lipstick review vegan liquid lipstick

ShadeM Beauty liquid lipsticks C/O ShadeM: online here /

ShadeM Beauty is a fabulous company which creates beautiful make-up that can worn by, and enjoyed by, anyone of any shade. Love that!

Created by beauty experts with over seventeen years of experience in the industry, ShadeM Beauty was created with a love for make-up. The founders have mixed-ethnicities, and knew there was a void in the industry with so few beauty brands representing all ethnicities and skin tones; as well as being represented through visual identity and stories.

Liquid Lipstick is perfect for days and occasions when you want your lip color to stay put; without drying out your skin. What I love about ShadeM Beauty is that their liquid lipstick does exactly that; it stays put, offers vibrant color, and doesn’t dry out the lips. Love!

There is a shade for everyone at ShadeM Beauty. Whatever your skin tone, there are many colors which will work with your coloring. Their color offerings also work with any type of personal style. If your style is California Casual like me, there are toned down hues you will love (like me!), and if you enjoy pushing the style envelope, there are bold hues for you too! I love a brand which offers something for everyone.

My skin tone is medium, and my personal style is on the conservative and casual side. I consider my personal style to be California Casual with a touch of glam. For my medium skin tone, 100% of my ancestors came from Italy, so while my skin isn’t as olive as my Mother’s, it still has a Mediterranean tone. My two favorite hues from ShadeM Beauty are Vivid 8 and Desrose 10. Vivid is a fun pink for going out and Desrose is perfect for all my Zoom calls, and my future in-person businesses events.

Speaking of video conference meetings and calls, ShadeM Beauty offers vivid hues which look great on-screen. If you take a lot of video calls, or enjoy filming videos, these liquid lipsticks look amazing on camera as well as in person.
