Sephora Goodies!


So after about a week of trying out all of these new goodies, I think I can now give a fair review of how everything is working out. I'm going to start with my favorite:

  1. Josie Maran Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation: This is single handedly THE BEST foundation I have ever had. I have been using BB creams or tinted moisturizer lately because I want a little bit of coverage but not too much. This foundation is really light like a tinted moisturizer, but has the perfect amount of coverage. The liquid is white when it comes out of the bottle and then pigments to the color of your skin as soon as you apply it. Literally, the BEST. 
  2. Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumper: Lip plumper is my new favorite thing. I have thinner lips and using this gloss gives a little added volume. Beware, there is a tingling sensation that is not for everyone. I happen to like it, but some people may feel like their lips are burning. Use with caution! 
  3. BB Thickening Spray: I first started using Bumble and Bumble products about five years ago. I love all of their hair styling products. I use BB thickening spray when I blow dry my hair to give some extra volume because my hair is very fine. This thickening spray works great for your hair the next day and does not weigh it down. You just spray some on your roots and use your hand to build texture. 
  4. YSL Rouge Volupt Shine paired with Moxie Lip Liner: This lip color LASTS!! I have been wanting a deep purple lipstick and I found the perfect one. It goes on a lot lighter when you apply to your lip. It comes in 18 different shades in a beautiful YSL embroidered tube. I paired it with Bare Minerals Moxie Lip Liner to set the color and make it last through out the day. It did not disappoint!
  5. Stila Eye Liner:  I love liquid eyeliners with felt tips. I have a shaky hand so I can never make my liner even when I don't have something to apply pressure with. This eyeliner has a lasting color and can be worn all day. The best part is it doesn't smudge!
  6. Celebrity Eyelashes: I haven't worn these yet because I haven't had a reason to. I probably will at some point this weekend so I will take a raincheck on these!!
This was the best make up shopping trip I have had in a long time. I usually am not as happy with my purchases, but the nice thing about Sephora is that you can browse around for hours and not feel pressured to buy anything. I used to always buy my make up from make up counters and could never say no to anything. I would end up with make up I never wore, didn't like, and spent over $100 in the process. Shopping at Sephora gives you more control over buying things you will actually wear and the ability to sample everything while you are in the store.

Devil In A New Dress

What is "Devil In A New Dress?"  Devil In A New Dress is about looking at something not just for what it is, but what it could be. When it comes to fashion, you can look at an item of clothing and wonder 'what would I wear this with?' The question isn't about looking at the item individually, but rather how it could be thrown together with the right accessories, shoes, or jacket and instantly make an ensemble flow. It's about looking at old styles and adding some modern flare. It's about opening your mind to new possibilities that are edgy and break the rules while making the new ones up as you go along.  "Devil In A New Dress" is a song by Kanye West who is my favorite artist. In the song he raps,  "Put your hands to the constellations, The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation I know I'm preaching to the congregation We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan" This is  what Devil In A New ...

Don't Kill My Vibe

With the leaves officially changing colors, comes a new wardrobe with Earth tones. I love the urban look and I love being comfortable so this outfit is a combination of both. I originally bought this jacket because it reminded me of the army green jacket Linda Cardellini wore on my favorite show, Freaks and Geeks. My combat boots are also one of my favorites any time of the year. It was a gorgeous day to be outside so I hope you got to enjoy this perfect Fall day!  Beanie: H&M Top: PacSun Jeans: Cotton On Jacket: Express Boots: Love Culture

Mom

"Selfless: Concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own " They use phrases like "mamas boy" but I am the definition of what it means to be a "mamas girl." My weekends as a kid were spent waking up Saturday morning, watching "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" and then going shopping with my mom. After that, we would come home, she would cook, and I would go play outside with my friends until it was time to eat. So it's no surprise back to school shopping was one of my favorite times of year. Getting to pick out a different wardrobe for each day of the week and buying school supplies. The joys were much simpler since we didn't have iPads or cell phones back then. Of all the times I spent shopping with my mom when I was a kid, I'll never forget going back to school shopping when I was 12. I was in junior high starting 7th grade which was a horribly awkward time, but if I have to think back about ever...
