I absolutely adore Kristen Bell’s beauty look in the photo below. Her look is clean and natural; and her eyelashes look amazing! Unfortunately not all of the products Celebrity Makeup Artist Simone Siegl used on Kristen Bell are available, but I did link to a few alternatives which should help re-create the look at home! Read on for the tips!

Celebrity makeup artist Simone Siegl, who worked with Kristen Bell for this look, reveals how to re-create this Fresh Faced Style at home in 5 effortless steps.

  1. First start with Neutrogena Naturals Face Wash and follow with their day cream.
  2. I used the Chanel shadow palette “Enigma in #19” (no longer avl, similar here) to give her a soft smokey look and bring out her blue eyes. I then added a smudge dark grey liner on top of the lid, till the middle of the eye to open them up.
  3. Don’t be shy with mascara and add a few layers with a product like Osmosis Colour Defining Mascara in Black ($18).
  4. I brushed on a little Chanel blush in “Tweed Sienna” (no longer avl, similar here) on the apples of her cheeks to give it a fresh look.
  5. I finished up her look by applying Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in “Juicy Peach”.

Chanel Tapage nail polish for spring 2014 review

Chanel Tapage nail polish is one of two nail polish colors from Chanel for the spring 2014 season. This bright, dark coral color offers a red hue with pink undertones. Tapage by Chanel is the ultimate color for a Fashionista who is seeking a classic yet fashion-forward nail polish color for the upcoming spring 2014 season.

The spring 2014 season is all about rainbow colors; especially shades of pink, purple, blue and green! In addition to vivid hues, pastels are hot for spring and many designers are still holding onto neon hues for the upcoming warm weather season. This makes Chanel Tapage nail polish a great color for spring. The light-hearted, reddish-coral hue blends well with spring 2014’s color palette allowing you to change your color story from bright hues to pastels to neon shades without worrying about your nail polish color clashing with your apparel. Love that!

I tested Chanel Tapage out with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The polish last six days before chipping. Chanel Tapage is a cream nail polish with a high shine which gives it a little bit more dimension than your average cream nail polish. 

Chanel Tapage nail polish for spring 2014 is priced at $27 and can be found online here.

I wore this outfit on Christmas Day (sorry for the late post). Although I chose to wear it to Church on Christmas, it really is perfect for any morning or mid-day special occasion. I also love how the sequins on the cardigan sweater are subtle. It makes it an easy piece to wear during the day; and with jeans! Love that!

Purple has always been one of my favorite colors, and this year, I feel like I am drawn to the hue more than any other color. I know I will wear this sweater a lot, and of course, I have already been wearing the Teece Torre bracelet a lot! To see how I have styled the bracelet in the past, please click here.

What color have you been drawn to lately?
