BellaSugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 11:55:08 PDT

You may have heard that FabSugar is going to Greece - lucky girl! So in honor of her upcoming island-hopping adventure, I devoted last week's Beauty Mark It challenge to finding the beach beauty essentials she'll need for her trip.

With hair, makeup, and skincare products to consider, this challenge was incredibly extensive, and I really think we've covered all the bases, from beach-inspired palettes to protective hair masks and post-sun balms. You can see all of the Beach Beauty Marks here, and check out my picks below. (To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.)

Beauty Mark #1: Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock ($8.99), found by Mellie_608, who says: "This is my favorite sunblock. I like the cooling sensation and the ease of use. All you do is spray it on and let it dry. No more greasy hands. I hate greasy hands, especially when sand is involved!"

Beauty Mark #2: Pout Palm Beach Compact ($28), found by Spun Sugar, who calls this her "fave 'do it all' compact for summer. Two lip colors and two cheek/highlighter colors. Great on the go!"

Beauty Mark #3: Juice Beauty SPF 15 Tinted Lip Moisturizers ($15), found by Elpatterson, who calls these "perfect for beachy glamor" and says they "feel great on, like you're wearing nothing but a creamy balm."

Beauty Mark #5: Clinique After-Sun Rescue Balm ($17.50), found by Gruaig_rua. Just in case you do overindulge, this cooling lotion will help soothe sunburn, minimize peeling, and repair your skin.
Beauty Mark #6: Propoline Deep Moisturizing and Repair Hair Mask with Honey and Almond, found by Tinywhale. This heavy-duty hair treatment protects and repairs your locks before and after the beach. Bonus: It's a Greek brand!

7 Tips For Creating Interior Design Boards on Pinterest

Anna Monette Roberts — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:38:41 PST

You can pin pictures of puppies, wedding gowns, and mouthwatering cookies, but if you are looking to better organize your design-centered Pinterest boards, it helps to have some quick tips to keep you organized and focused.

Here are some interior design board themes:

Home redecoration: Create boards for each room you are redecorating, and post pictures of furniture, paint colors, and designs you love to help you visualize your project.
Fantasy dream homes: Perhaps you will never be an owner of a ski lodge or a beach vacation home, but that doesn't mean you can't dream about them via the Internet.
Seasonal: Whether it's a season like Winter or Summer or a specific holiday like Valentine's Day or the Fourth of July, create a board to inspire your seasonal decor or decorations for an upcoming party.
Mood or color themed: Pick a mood like romantic or a color like blue, which beautifully and instantly unifies pins under one theme.
DIY heaven: Replicate beautiful crafts like a decorative chalkboard cheese plate or simply view the DIY photos in awe.
Shapes and styles: For smaller items like furniture or coffee table decor, go with items that have the same shape or same design style.
Random but cute: Whether it's a board of dogs sleeping on sofas or quirky decorative trinkets, anything goes (decor-wise) on Pinterest, so find a unique way to share photos that are already circulating.

For virtual pinboard bliss, remember the number one Pinterest rule: source all the photos you pin. Follow CasaSugar on Pinterest to see what boards we've created and what furniture, art, and designs are catching our eye.
