My Favorite Summer Nail Colors
I don’t know about you, but I feel naked if I don’t have any nail polish on… I guess I’m just a nail polish addict. The funny thing is, I’ve only got my nails professionally done a HANDful of times…(hehe) But really, I love doing my own nails because it’s cheaper and I like hoarding nail polish. Doesn’t every girl? Since its summer time, I thought I would share with you some, just some of my favorite summer nail colors I like to wear. I had a ton of other colors I wanted to show you on my nails but let’s be real, I got tired of painting my right…

Today can be super sunny and warm and then tomorrow can be overcast and stormy. A couple weekends ago, there was this super big picnic party close to Mt. Hood that I attended, and of course on the day of the event it was pouring down rain even though it had been sunny for weeks. But I guess that’s what you get for living in this state! But honestly, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. So anyways, I know…

Enjoy the Little Things
Remember: “Enjoy the Little Things” This Burlap canvas I painted on is one of my favorites and is hanging in my bedroom. My sweet grandmother lost her husband, my grandfather, in January of 2014 due to very aggressive mouth cancer. That May, despite all the grieving, she took her first trip without her sweet husband to Wyoming to spend some time with her sisters. Along the way, she stopped at a Hobby Lobby craft store and picked out this beautiful burlap canvas just for me because she knew how much I painted. She told me to paint something I loved on it. Since I’ve never painted on burlap, I covered…

What’s in my makeup bag?!
Here’s a look inside my makeup bag! These are my current favorite products I’ve been using all summer long! Enjoy! #1.

Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush (In Bloom)- Of course you have to have a nice pop of color on your face this summer, right? That’s why I chose this beautiful matte…

Welcome to Shop With Kendallyn
Hello and welcome to Shop With Kendallyn! My name is Kendallyn, a 19-year-old born and raised in a beautiful small town close to Portland, Oregon. Ever since I was a young girl I was obsessed with makeup, fashion and being as creative as I can be. I’m pretty sure I got the makeup and beauty obsession from my lovely mother, Juliann, who is a very successful blogger for the “All Beautiful Mommies” blog. Creativity is not as much of an obsession, but something that comes naturally to me. Quite often I find myself in my room either crocheting, sewing, or painting deep into the night not realizing its 4 AM. I…
