Outdoor Entertaining with Estée Lauder

July 25th, 2012

I love the casual vibe of summer entertaining. Everything feels relaxed when people are sitting around a table outside eating a simple, seasonal meal. I created a video with Estée Lauder about my tips for entertaining at home and my beauty regimen (like mixing blush with an illuminating primer for a nice glow and smudging kohl liner along my upper lash line for extra drama) for looking the best in candlelight.

    Blush and primer is such a good idea! These are really cute tricks. Plus I think everyone looks better in candlelight to begin with :) Looks like a great summer get-together! x

    you are so amazingly natural on camera!

    I recently shot my first video for TKMaxx (I think it’s TJMaxx in the US) and it makes me cringe a little to watch it – ha!

    what a dream to be an ambassador for estee lauder though, maybe one day…

    I constantly make the mistake of wearing lipstick to events where I darn well know that I will want to eat something! That is probably the best makeup tip you could offer a girl ;) I will probably continue to make this mistake to be perfectly honest <3

    I’m obsessed with the song playing in the video, but I don’t know the song name or artist. I’ve been trying to google it with no luck.

    Anyone know the song?
