Style -- Skies Are Blue.

Always down for a quick and stylish outfit of the day. Jumpers have been my go-to this summer because of how effortless and comfortable they are. Although I found this jumper during a sale I put the link to the designer as well as links to some of my fave pieces with a similar style.

Beauty -- Everyday Makeup

For awhile I've been getting questions on my everyday makeup products, so here it is! These are the products I use in my daily makeup look. I have other products I use for special occasions or when I want to jazz things up, but I always start with these basics.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Skin Perfector (deep) |  This BB cream is amazing because it helps protect your skin while also providing coverage. Super lightweight and is my go to for a day of errands.

L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup (cappacino N8) | Great full coverage foundation w/ a natural finish!

Sonia Kashuk Large Foundation Brush (no. 114) | This is my go to foundation brush simply because it helps my foundation apply evenly.

The Original BeautyBlender | Why didn't someone think of this amazing sponge sooner? Use this gem damp and it'll remove any excess foundation. No no to cake face!

Stilla Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner (jet black) | Probably the easiest eyeliner you will ever use! The felt tip makes the application crisp and simple and because it's waterproof you don't have to worry about smudging.

bareMinerals Original Foundation Powder (medium deep) | This is a great powder to add a smooth top layer to the top of your makeup.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (amande) | A great concealer to mask dark circles and dark spots from scarring.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (cafe) | Love this concealer because it can be used as a slight highlight and I've never experienced any creasing.

Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Dipbrow Pomade' (chocolate) & NYX Automatic Eyebrow Pencil (Dark Brown)  | Perfect combo to achieve those perfect brows! Both products have a wide variety of colors to choose from as well.

Nars Dual-Intensity Blush (fervor) | The perfect colors that blend well with any make up look & stays on all day.

Lorac PRO Mascara (black) | No clumps over here! Super easy to build on for extra length and volume.

C.O. Bigelow Magenta Mint Mentha Lip Tint | Sometimes a lipstick is really overwhelming when going for a natural look. I use this gloss because it's moisturizing and adds a slight tint of color.

Hopefully this helps when looking for quality basic make up products. I live by these, so I promise they are great!

Style -- Denim Love.

Very excited to be breaking out my spring pieces! As I've mentioned before in my Spring Trends post, denim is a major factor for this season. I'm loving that mixing different washes of denim is a thing! It's always fun choosing different shades of blue and putting them together to make an amazing outfit. This is such an easy outfit to put together plus you looked super chic.

Gift Guide: For Him

It's that time of year again! With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I thought I'd put together a gift guide for men. The process was a little more challenging than I expected, but with some investigation I think your beau would feel lucky to receive these chic gifts. 

1. Nixon | Striking and Affordable, this piece can be worn casually or dressed up.

2. Herschel Supply Co. Toiletry Case  | Aren't we all annoyed at how guys leave their grooming products everywhere? Heres the solution. 

3. Eleven Rings | Most guys like books that will hold their interest and teach them something new. This is a must read. 

4. Beats by Dre Pill | The Best (in my opinion) wireless sound system on the market!

5. Jimmy Choo Cologne | I think we can all agree we're over the lingering Axe smell. This cologne smells amazing and doesn't take a lot to have a lasting affect for all day use. 

6. Herschel Supply Co. Backpack | Great weekender Backpack with classic leather detail. 

7. Tie Bar | Every guy needs a staple tie in their closet, these ties are it and they have a reasonable price point.

8. Nike Fuelband SE | Heard so many good things about this fitness tracker & if he downloads the app he can track progress and compete against his friends.

9. Wallet Phone Case | An easy way to keep up with cards and cash because don't we all have our phones in our hands anyway? 

Happy Shopping!

Current Obsessions -- Fall Finds

On my Radar: 

1. Kate Spade | Like A Charm Love Multi Pendant Necklace | Loving the layered chain look, while still being light weight and dainty. Great for everyday wear! 

2. Mac Cosmetics | Taupe Lipstick | I mean really, aren't we all trying to accomplish the perf Kylie Jenner lip color? Here it is and it doesn't look washed out on darker skin complexions. Try pairing with Macs 'Whirl' lip liner.

3. Gianni Bini | Sevyn Belted Peep-Toe Bootie | The type of sandal/bootie that adds a pinch of edginess to your look & can be added to your classic outfit for a great contrast. 

4. Vince Camuto | 'Karita' Over The Knee Boots  | I have been searching all over for these gems. Can't go wrong with an all black over the knee boot. Definitely a wardrobe staple. 

5. Forever 21 | Draped Lapel Trench Coat | Everyone is loving this winter trend of a maxi Trench (including myself). 

6. Sincerely Jules | Graphic Tee | You can never go wrong with a graphic tee, especially with added inspiration. Dress it down with ripped jeans or up with a pencil skirt. 

7. Mac Cosmetics | Gold Deposit Mineralized SkinFinish | Is it summer yet? I guess this is considered taboo but who wouldn't become a rebel for the ideal highlight?

8. Bop Basics | 'Im So Fancy' pouch | Seriously loving this pouch! Great for going out and can double as a make up bag. 

9. Dior | 'Mohotani' Cat Eye Sunnies | I am extremely picky about my sunglasses but I'm loving this cat eye look.

The Beginning.

My goal for Dauntless Muse (DM) is to try something new! My plan for this blog will be to post my current obsessions, inspirations and daily outfits, as well beauty tips I've learned along the way. Often I'm asked to assist my friends with fashion and beauty tips. Most are surprised when I help pull together a stylish outfit with a not so expensive price tag. DM gives me an opportunity to do what I love daily. Follow my journey.
