Icelandic Canyon on Belle Belle Beauty

My Iceland trip is officially behind me and it was everything I dreamt it would be. What a magical, peaceful, reserved, simple and stunning country. The landscapes, food, beauty products all were a special and unique treat. I encourage anyone who is interested in Iceland to go sooner rather than later. And I would highly recommend the “shoulder months” of May and October to schedule a visit. Traffic was light and the sights weren’t crammed with tourists (as I hear they are in the peak of summer). If you’d like to see more pics, check out my Instagram here. Here are some finds from around the web:

Cheating with just face wipes at night isn’t so bad after all!

The story of my favorite natural beauty guru.

Been living in these slides and love this swimsuit for summer.

A roundup of classic natural beauty products.

A simple skin care quiz from Sephora that shows you top picks for your own skin concerns.

A guide to retinoids.

Love this quiz: what tech giant would you drop first?

Iceland on Belle Belle Beauty

I have an upcoming trip… and I am very excited. I am a voracious traveller but haven’t been out of the country in years. I am finally headed to see my dream destination, Iceland. I know it has been trendy lately, but I’ve wanted to visit this tiny, arctic nation since 2002 when a friend studied there and had an amazing experience. Will be sure to post loads of snaps on instagram, so make sure to follow me there if you’d like to see what we are up to. While I am daydream of adventures, I drummed up some links to share:

Love these lessons from living in a tiny tiny apartment.

Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup tips.

A great guide to the cult product, P50.

Self-care from around the world.

Hilarious (and realistic) makeup tutorial.

Tips for applying false eyelashes.

I’ve been subscribing to daily harvest for AM smoothies and love! I make them the night before and just grab and go when I leave for work. My favorites are Cocoa + Mint and Blueberry + Hemp.
