The Face: Lipstick Queen Hello Sailor--$25
As someone who puts as little effort into her beauty routine as possible, I'm not only on the hunt for products that are quick and easy to use, but also look effortless. Lipstick Queen Hello Sailor is literally a godsend. It's essentially an update on '90s mood lipstick in that it utilizes your skin's natural pigments to create a customized berry color. It's also made with Vitamin E, so it's super hydrating. Grab one for every bag you own.
The Inspiration: Luke Shadbolt's amazing surf shots
Australian surf photographer Luke Shadbolt travels all over the world chasing and capturing the perfect wave. It's a skill he's been perfecting since he grew up surrounded by surfers and boogie-boarders on the NSW Central Coast, yet it's still surprising how he somehow manages to capture every facet of ocean life in minimalist-style shots. (Seriously, he is able to capture just about every Pantone shade imaginable.) Click through the slideshow and I guarantee it'll have you rushing to the beach before you even finish reading this sentence.
