Got some new Specs

I've literally been waiting to find a good pair of glasses for about a year now. The big problem with this is that I'm  just a little picky. I want something that is unique and classic, and that also suits my personality.

This pair that I have finally become obsessed with is by a brand called Superdry. I believe this company is a UK based brand that uses Japanese and Americana inspired influences.

The lovely frames that I purchased caught my eyes (haha #punny) because it's like a black version of a typical tortoiseshell print. These match to absolutely everything and were a very reasonable price.

I used to wear my previous glasses around the house but I didn't feel very comfortable wearing them out of the house because I didn't really feel myself in them. I am so excited that these new specs have made their way into my life.

Besides that, how are you all? Surviving this semester/year so far?

Sweater and Dress from H&M

I've been searching a long time to find a sweater like this! Its all knit, only seam is the side seam and the neckline is perfect! the shape is baggy and comfy, basically can be worn on top of anything or paired with a nice pair of blue jeans. H&M is doing it right this season, that's for sure. The heathered white/grey is my ideal sweater color this fall.

Shady matter

These sunglesses, were a steal. $6.80 at of course, Forever 21. I seriously just bought them because I was tired of repping my Uni free-bee sunglasses that all my friends made fun of. Now that I think if it, I was being kinda ridiculous to wear them ALL the time. I'm think about buying another pair of sunglasses, maybe a bit more expensive so that I can alternate between a nicer pair, probably more classic looking and these/ which every other cheap trendy ones I find.

As for the summer dress, the dresses at H&M fit me like a dream. There is something about the way it hugs my waist. The length is perfect the cut is perfect and I could probably wear it everyday of the damn week.

Unfortunately I think it's probably going to be my last wear for this one because I want to purchase some new dresses with a little more detail.

What does your summer time go dress look like? And what shades are you rockin?

It's cold somewhere in the world right?

I go back and fourth between what season is my favorite. I'm a Winter baby so i'm bias to the white powder and Mr.Santa but recently Summer has taken me to relaxationland and i'm loving it. But Fall and all the leaves....I just can't make up my mind!

Here I am sporting the best coat ever in the world. It's from Zara and was 100000% worth the money and probably my best investment last winter ;)

Matte MAC Lipsticks

There are many loves of my life. Matte MAC lipsticks happen to be one of them. I am seriously gaga over this formula by MAC and I can guarantee you that my matte lipstick collection will be forever growing

The three that I own are Ruby Woo, a blue toned bright red, So Chaud, a medium colored orange- it's not too neon and it’s not too dark either, and Chilli, a brick brown-red which is my daily lipstick that I’ll wear to uni or work. All three of these lipsticks are insanely pigmented and the staying power on them is remarkable. I would say that last 5 hours without having to reapply. And with a lip liner the lasting power would only increase.

The next matte lipstick I want to purchase is Candy Yum Yum, it’s a hot pink and I think it would be amazing for the summer time!

What is your favorite finish of lipstick? Do you have any matte colors for me to try?

NARS lovin'

I attended a NARS Masterclass this past Wednesday night. The cost of it was 75$ and that 75$ was redeemable in products! This class was taught by NARS National Trainer Andre Herbert. He was hilarious and taught us a lot about the amazing NARS skincare line. He also taught us selective highlighting and contouring and Francois Nars' signature smokey eye look.

I apologize for not taking pictures at the actual class. It was quite crowded and there was no proper time to pull out my camera! 

Bellow are the two products I had bought and also they gave us a couple samples. One is a sanitizer spray to use on products before applying them to other people and wipes of the same brand; "Beauty So Clean" and the other sample was of the Nars Makeup Removing water.

Top swatch, blush in Liberte

Middle, samples I received

Bottom swatch, eye shadow duo in Mediteranee

I already own a NARS blush in the color Dolce Vita, which is my holy grail blush; but for the up coming Spring and Summer seasons I wanted a more orange-y reddish blush. It was between Liberte and Taos (A much more vibrant red -orange). I decided to go with Liberte because it was a bit more subtle and seemed like it could also be worn in Autumn as well.

All NARS products that I have tried are extremely pigmented and wear for a long time on the skin. The eye shadow duo that I already own is called Kalua Lumpur (I believe that's how you spell it. Its a rose gold and purple shadow duo). Again, I was thinking about colors that would look great for Spring and Summer time and that took minimal effort to apply. This duo, in Mediteranee is AMAZING. They are so opaque and just gorgeous! I've been wearing this ever since Wednesday when I purchased it and I know it'll be a Spring/Summer favorite.

Have you purchased any NARS products recently? What are your favorites!?

Mint sorbet

I've had this polish for quite some time and i'll usually wear it throughout Spring and Summer. I thought it looked sad and lonely sitting in my drawer so I took it out and used it! Although it isn't quite a Winter looking color, does it really matter if I love the color?! Haha! :p

Want it: Lovestruck Floral Rush

Another perfume that I am dying to get my hands on! Vera Wang, girl, you have done it again! I smelled the original Lovestruck when it first was released and because Leighton Meester was the gal promoting this fragrance I hoped I loved it...That was not the case. THIS 2nd Lovestruck perfume had caught my eye at The Bay. I tend to wear more floral scents, and this is amazingness in a bottle!

Since I would never be able to describe the exact notes, I found them on a Website Here

The top accords include champagne, pink pepper and apricot blossom. Pink passion flower, marigold and white freesia are located in the heart, while the base notes include ambergris, musk and cashmere wood.

Review: Benefit They're Real Mascara

Benefit's latest mascara, "They're Real!" was introduced in Fall 2012. I was sceptical to try this mascara because a couple years ago I had tried the "Big Fatty Mascara" and I was not a hug fan of it. After hearing Youtubers such as Tiffany D rave about this mascara I knew I had to try it out. When I had purchased my Sephora Mascara Sampler in December this was one on the mascaras included, and I’m happy to say this product IS worth its hype!

It not only lengthens my lashes but give tons of volume!  You can get up to 2 coats without it looking clumpy, the staying power is amazing and it’s not super difficult to take off. The wand is plastic and the spikes wrap around the whole want, including the tip (look closely at the photo bellow). I definitely give this mascara an 8/10. Why not 10? I have a personal preference of non-plastic wands and I also like more lengthening mascara opposed to volumizing. I still think this mascara is pretty amazing and would totally purchase the full size!

Have you guys tried this mascara or any other from Benefit? What did you think?
