"Innocent" OOTD #2

Innocent


I would literally wear this outfit everyday if I could! It's super simple yet classy. The dress is fitted on the top and flows on the bottom. The gold flats are absolutely adorable and they make this outfit look a little younger and daytime appropriate. For accessories I like them simple. I am not a fan of huge and eye catching accessories so these we're perfect. I only like small and simple earring so these were perfect. I picked the accessories because I feel like these are the types of pieces in your wardrobe that you can wear over and over a gain and it makes the outfit look fabulous. The sunglasses and purse are from Céline. I will of leave the links down below for all the pieces above. 



Do you guys like this outfit? Would you wear it?

Naked 3 Review




          I bought Naked 3 the day after Christmas and I have played with it everyday since. It's a great pink toned eyeshadow palette with 6 matte and 6 shimmer shadows. The eyeshadow a are  great for any skin tone and they especially compliment people with blue and green eyes. 

           These shades are velvety and super pigmented. This palette contains a highlight color all the way to a matte black color and they are all equally pigmented. I do prefer the shimmer shades in this palette rather than the mattes. 

           The palette comes in a rose gold snap tin. The packaging is great for traveling because the tin is super sturdy so you can just throw it in your suitcase and you don't have to worry about it breaking or opening in your suitcase. 

            Should I buy the Naked 3 palette if I already own the other two? I say yes because the Naked 3 palette has neutral colors with pink tones. Rather than just the browns and taupes in the other 2 Naked palettes. 


Even Baby Brooklynn likes Naked 3 =) LOL! Do you guys own any of the Naked  palettes? Do you like them?

New Kylie and Kendall Spring Collection for Pacsun!



       New Kylie and Kendall collection?!? Yup! Yesterday the girls announced that the new pieces will arrive  at Pacsun stores Feb 7, 2014. Seeing their tweet and Instagram pics made me squeal! I love both Kylie and Kendall Jenner. They are my fashion inspirations- more so Kylie. 

       I have been awaiting the arrival for this line for a while now. I absolutely loved their fall collection and I've purchased a lot of the items but it's been a few months now and I'm bored. Seeing that they are introducing some new outfits is making me excited (really excited).

        What's going to be in the new collection?!? Well that I don't know. The two outfits that the girls modeled I already love them so I have a feeling that I am going to love the whole collection! 

Are you guys excited for the Spring collection? Do you guys like the two outfits?

Urban Decay Naked Basics Review+ Swatches+ Tutorial!



       Yes I know the Naked Basics train has already left the station BUT I'd like to bring it back. I purchased this palette in November and I absolutely adore it! It has 5 matte shades and 1 shimmer. It is a great palette to use for creating a simple or "basic" eye look (Ba-dum-pum-ch). It has a friendlier price tag of $27 than the other Naked palettes at a hefty $50. It's the same great quality! 


         This palette contains a shimmery white highlight shade all the way to a matte black shade. I have to say Venus, Naked 2 and Faint are my most used shades. I apply Venus as an eyebrow and inner- corner highlight. Then I apply Naked 2 all on the lid. Lastly, I apply faint as a definer. Remember: blending is key!!! I know you here it all the time! But it's true! Your blending brush should be your eye's Best Friend! 

           Should I buy the Naked Basics palette if I already have Naked 3? I say yes, just because Naked 3 is more pink toned colors and Naked Basics are brown colors. BUT, I wouldn't buy them both at the same time because I like to experiment with one of the palette at a time. 


Do any of you own any of the Urban Decay Naked palettes? If so which one? Would you ladies like for me to do a Naked 3 review?

What's in My Bag: Travel Edition!



When I go traveling I like to keep my essentials in a small bag. I like this bag from Coach because it's super cute, small and it fits everything that I need. 

1. Hand Cream! I like to use the Bath and Body Works Norishing Hand Cream in Winter Candy Apple $5.00
If you guys didn't know my hands are super dry. This lotion helps to moisturize which is especially needed during winter.


2. Sunglasses! I love my Ray- Ban aviators! I honestly don't know what I'd do without them. I literally take them with me everywhere I go. 

3. Chargers and headphones! Yes I know my chargers are all tangled but as long as I've got them I am totally fine. 

4. Wallet! I love my Coach wallet. It holds all of my cards and change. 

5. Lippies! Mint Julips lip scrub from Lush is my favorite lip scrub. It's all natural, it's not too rough on my skin and once you have scrubbed your lips you can lick the scrub off! Which, now that I think about it its seems pretty gross licking off all of your dead skin... I also have a NYX butter gloss in Peaches and Cream and a Nivea lip balm in A Kiss Of a Smoothness. 

6.  Coupons! Obviously this wouldn't be my bag if it didn't have at least one Bath and Body Works receipt and coupon! LOL =) 


7. Any type of electronic device! I keep my IPad in my purse as well as my iPhone 5s. My phone doesn't really stay in my purse for too long because I am constantly using it.


You are probably thinking that's it?!?! Surprisingly I am not the typical guru with half of their house inside of their bag. I only keep like to keep my essentials in my purse. What's in your handbag?

OPI A Grape Fit: Nail swatch!


        OPI A Grape Fit! Now that we are heading into Spring head in its now the time when my nails change from dark and vampy to bright and cheery. I know that this is not the case for all people but it is for me. A grape Fit is just a lilac purple color. Its opaque in two coats and its so pigmented. I honestly just can't get enough with this color! 


       Do you guys have this color in your collection? If so do you like it? I need help from you guys. My nail polish never lasts more than a day without chipping. I went to my nail salon and my nail lady told me that my nails are very "fragile". Do any of you have any suggestions for nail hardeners and good base and topcoats? If so please leave the product down below =) Thanks!

OOTD #1 "Sinner"

Sinner

                                                  a Kylie and Kendall Jenner inspired outfit

       I finally got on the Polyvore bandwagon and I am so glad that I did. As you all know I love buying clothes, makeup and pretty much anything girly. Here's something that you guys might like to know; I love creating outfits from other peoples closets. Its a way for me to express my mind and just relax. I went a little crazy last night creating outfits out Polyvore. heres the first one that i created called "sinner". This is a Kylie and Kendall inspired outfit. Both Kylie and Kendall have snapped some amazing Instagram pics wearing "circle" skirts and cropped tops. I found that the Louboutins would be something I would find in Kendall's closet as well as the Tiffany and Co. charm bracelet.

If you guys would like to see more of my OOTDs stay tuned because I will be posting weekly OOTDs.If you guys have any Celebrities that you would like me to recreate their outfit Tweet me or Instagram me a pic. I'd love to create it!

Here are the links to where to buy the items in the OOTD.

Top 13 of 2013! (Nail polishes)


(Left to right) OPI
1. OPI Polka . Com: a turquoise and fushia chunky glitter. If you love bright colors this is perfect for you. It's a clear based glitter that isn't super think. 

2. Lincoln Park After Dark: a dark vampy purple color. I don't wear black nail polishes but this is great because sometimes  I am looking for a color that is dark enough to look like a black color.

3. Lincoln Park After Midnight: the cousin to Lincoln Park After Dark. It's lighter and more purple looking. It has a big of a duo-chrome shimmery kinda look to it. 

4. I Theadora You: the perfect baby pink color that every girl needs in her collection. 

5. Manalga Wine: a little bit darker than a candy apple red. Another essential in a collection.

(Left to right) Essie 
6. Luxe effects in A Cut Above: rose gold colored glitter. I really like that you dong have to apply a top coat on top of this because then the polish becomes gloppy and messy and no one wants that after working so hard after painting your nails. 

7. Blanc: super opaque white. Another essential in a collection. 

8. Mint Candy Apple: during the doing and summer time this and like 3 other colors were the only colors I was wearing... LOL =) 

9. The Lace Is On: a super pretty duo chrome purple shimmery color. I love this color, it looks great when my nails are long. It's a great color to wear threw out the whole year. 

10. Chinchilly: a super basic grey color. It's opaque in two coats. Yet another essential. 

11. Midnight Cami: the blue version of The Lace Is On. It's another duo chrome blue with shimmery color. This color looks great on any nail length and it's a really pretty color for fall and winter. 


12. Formula X for Sephora polish in Obsessed: this is the color I thought that I was going to get when I bought Manalga Wine by OPI. Yes, I know a huge color difference but Obsessed is way lighter on the nails than it is in the bottle. 

13. Sinful Colors polish in Gold Medal: I love applying this color to my nails when all of my accesories are gold because it just adds that extra touch. 

What are your favorite nail polishes of 2013? Do you like or have any of these colors? You should defiantly go check me out on my social media ( especially Twitter) for updates and more product reviews =)

Top 10 of 2013! (Makeup)


         
best of 2013

               I can't believe that it's time to write my top 13 of 2013! I can't believe that 2013 is over! Well 2013 was a year of  discovery as far as beauty products go. I  learned so many things in 2013 and I have to say that these are the best of the best.




1. Anastasia Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes $39.50. I've heard so many great things about Anastasia's eyebrow products and I have to agree. This pallette is the perfect eye brow grooming kit for anyone beginner or professional. It comes with 5 eyebrow stencils,  eyeshadow duo, eyebrow powder duo and an angled eye brush.




2. Benefit Rockateur boxed powder blush $28. I usually don't go for nude blushes but this blush is absolutely amazing. It gives a very natural flush of color with a little sparkle which looks like a subtle highlight on the skin.




3. Nyx blush in Rose Garden $5. From the packaging this blush looks like a normal pink blush. But once you apply it you get a very natural looking pink blush with subtle gold sparkles. 




4. Maybelline Baby Lips in Peppermint, Cherry Me and Grape Vine $2.99-$7.99 depending on where you buy them. I usually apply these if I just want a glossy look with a little bit of color. These balms are pretty sheer but I love the little tint that you can build up. 




5. Nivea A Kiss of Smoothness $3.29. This the tube version of the Nivea Lip Butters. Same moisturalization and feel. The only difference is the packaging. This is a great lip balm to apply at any time of the day. It's super moisturizing and easy to apply. When I am feeling super lazy I just apply this antd violá! My lips look super hydrated and glossy. 




6. Nivea Lip Butters in Smooth Kiss, Raspberry Rosé Kiss and Caramel Cream Kiss $3.99. All of the yearly favorite blog posts I've read all have these mentioned in them. With a all good reason! They are extremely moisturizing and they smell absolutely divine. If I had to choose one I would pick Raspberry Rosé Kiss. First of all, it's pink! Oh and it smells the best!



7. Mac Lipglass in Viva Glam VI $15. It's a really pretty nude-pink shimmery gloss. It's one of those my lip but better colors and this is definitely my favorite gloss of my whole collection. 

8. Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Nude Peach $4.99. If I had to pick a second gloss in my crazy obsessive gloss collection this would be it.They are super pigmented and they feel so nice on the lips. 



9. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara $5.99. Yes this mascara has a teenie tiny wand compared to Benefit's They're Real  mascara but don't get me wrong it's still a great mascara. It lengthens and volumizes and it doesn't leave your lashes looking spidery. 



10. Urban Decay Naked Basics eyeshadow pallette $27. With a friendlier price than the rest of the palettes in the Naked Family this pallette still reaches it's expectations. It's a super high quality, pigmented pallette that you can create multiple looks with. It comes with six different shadows from the lightest color Venus ( a white shimmery highlight) to Crave ( a matte black). It turns out that each shadows is $4.50. Btw it's the same price as in the other Naked palettes. 



Do you have any if the Naked palettes? If so do you like it and do you think that it's worth it? Let me know in the comments below I'd love to know.
