I was talking to a friend the other day, and she

I was talking to a friend the other day, and she mentioned how she loves having a little bit of color in the summer because it inspires her to wear less make up. It’s so true. Having color justifies losing the make up all together! Okay, well maybe not completely.

Daphne Groeneveld (pretty lady above) is my idea of a great summer look. Natural, yet tastefully refined. 

Here are two products I like to create this minimalist affair: Blinc Mascara paired with the Blinc Ultrathin Liquid Eyeliner Pen. Each come in a variety of shades and colors, I prefer the traditional black.  

Sometimes I too wonder the underlying question when it comes to mascaras - are they really all that different? After a few trials I have found that yes indeed, they are. The standout feature of BLINC mascara is the formula - 100% clean and clump free, because it actually forms tiny water resistant tubes around each lash. 

The Ultrathin Liquid Eyeliner Pen has a similar formula - clean, and ultra black. The feature of this pen that is really worth noting is the tiny fine brush - if you aren’t the best with liquid liner, this one is nearly impossible to mess up. (Speaking from experience)

But the thing that really got me, and the reason why these products are cult-worthy for a summer eye -  they do not smudge in heat, humidity, allergic eye-rubbing, etc.!
