Last weekend, I attended
KCFW with a pre-event with
Ulta before the shows. They hosted a lovely cocktail party for the KC Bloggers and it was full of makeup trends, beauty samples, cocktails and catching up with friends, and then shortly followed by, of course, fashion! I was freshly back from
San Juan (having landed 3:30 that morning!) and the mix of Ulta's swag bag, bubbly drinks and KCFW designer shows was just what I needed to get past the jet lag.
For my beauty look, I wanted to plus up the more natural make up look and "Not Nude Lip" trend I had just learned about (the tutorial
here!) and transform it for evening. It was really simple to add to this foundation! I just added a cat eye with
They're Real Push Up Liner and extra mascara, which also allowed me to try out the
Blackest Black spring-time makeup trend! That's the best part about good products and a solid beauty base, it can be taken straight into an evening look with very little effort!
Erin also transformed her "Not Nude Lip" for her night look, wearing a stunning red dress...you'll have to get the details and check her look out

For my outfit, having just come back from
the beach, I was still feeling that vacation vibe and for some reason, this spring jacket was just perfect for that feeling. In true Megan-fashion, I had to mix prints and threw on this old, but classically striped dress for the completion of the look. I love how the "
Not Nude Lip" looked against the soft shades of the jacket and the black, and white graphics added some contrast. Topped off with some gold jewelry, bright blue heels, a simple face and swept back hair - it was an easy, yet interesting look!
