Nars Desire Blush

"A little bit of Desire goes a long way", that's what the sales lady said to me when I purchased this blush. But she was completely right! This color is a bright Barbie doll - Bubblegum pink but when applied it's a gorgeous flush and looks like you've just blushed....Did that even make sense? If you are looking to expand you blush collections or trying to venture on from typical blush colors I would highly recommend this color! It's more on the pricey side but NARS blushes last forever and I have fallen in-love with the amazing color pay off these blushes give! 

I also highly recommend the color Dolce Vita for an everyday blush color :)

Which high-end brand of blushes do you enjoy??

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Smoked Peach

After hearing about this Lipstick from Youtuber BeautyCrush, I decided to go to Walmart and pick one up myself. The color is exactly what the name is, Smoked Peach! It's a unique nude because it is orange based but on the lips it looks subtle and chic. Its a great color for casual, everyday work or school wear and it could also be used for a smokey eye look too. 

I adore Matte finished Lipsticks but this one had a different texture compared to the Matte MAC lipsticks I own. This Revlon one is a tad grainy feeling but that being said I still love the way this color looks on my lips and I'm sure it would suit many skin tones :)

Just remember to make sure your lips are exfoliated before using Matte finished lipsticks because they can be drying at times.

What is your favorite brand of Lipsticks? & Do whats your favorite finish?!

OOTD - Roar

Here is a little ootd, I didn't do much but run errands with my sister. I have a few new pieces to my wardrobe seeing as how I went shopping last weekend. 

Moccasins - Wal Mart

Necklace - Urban Behavior 

Tights - Talula (Aritzia) 

Shirt - La Notte (Aritzia)

Bag - H&M

Ring - Forever 21

Revlon Raven Red Nail Polish - 721

This color by Revlon has seriously stuck around in my nail polish collection forever! It's a really nice cranberry red color, I have no idea why it's called Raven Red... I do well with applying 2 coats of this polish then apply a top coat to make it extra shiny. The lasting power isn't too bad, 3-5 days and then i'll notice chipping.

Whats your favorite red nail polish color?

Knotted!

Here's a little outfit I put together, just a little fancy something something. An outfit for a night out, dinner, or even for work :)

Forever 21 Blazer, Top and Heels

H&M Clutch

Talula Leggings

My makeup was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw from the Carrie Diaries, I swapped out using liquid eyeliner for a dark brown pencil eyeliner by Sephora, and placed the color under my lower lash line then smudged it (on both the top and bottom). I love the way it looks!

I usually never wear high-buns out of my house because I feel as if they look rather silly on me (mostly because I have very thin hair). But I couldn't be bothered to wash or style it this morning...lazy me! My sister seemed to agree with me that it was decent enough to wear outside of my home, and I think it looks rather cool that my ombre shows though the top of the knot.

Any questions? Have a lovely day! xx

OOTD - Festive floral's

Dress & Bag - H&M
Bracelet - Aldo

Rings - Forever 21  

American Apparel Wishlist

Another Wishlist! I have SO many of these coming your way. I legitimately get so hyped up by things I see on Tumblr or on store websites. One of my favorite stores is American Apparel but I only really love the store because of their amazing nail lacquers! Here are a few things I want to purchase this year from AA.

1. Nail lacquer

I've always been a huge fan of the nail lacquer from AA. All you really need is one coat because they are opaque as can be! I believe the bottles hold more nail polish then an OPI and their color range is just amazing. They have recently added Neon, Sheer, and Metallic lines of lacquers and I am SO excited to collect more!

2. Viscose shawl cardigan

This shawl cardigan looks like the perfect throw for a breezy summer day. I would want to purchase the white/grey color because it would match to any summer outfit and it also looks like a super cosy material 

3. Beanie

I own a beanie from TNA but this one is just so much cuter! I think the pom pom would suite the Fall/Winter months better but I would want a black or red one for summer time to make an outfit more grunge or edgy. And would look great with winged eyeliner, I think!

4. 3D flower mesh jumper

I've had my eye on this jumper for a really long time now. It comes in a variety of colors, white, black, purple, rose, and light blue, (maybe more). Lana Del Rey is sporting it in the photo above, and I think it would look gorgeous with light blue jeans or a black skater skirt.

What do you wish for from AA?

First Impressions: Glamoflauge

This is my first Hard Candy product that I've purchased and I must say that I'm not as pleased as I thought I would have been. I  love this concealer, it's creamy and matches me perfectly (the pencil was a good bonus to get too!) everything is great except for the fact that it creases quite a lot under my eyes if I do not use a powder to set it. I know that you should always use a powder but sometimes I’m quite lazy with my makeup and skip it! It's the right amount of brightness and it’s a super heavy coverage, which I don't necessarily need, but I know that there is a better concealer out there for me.

I know for sure this tube is going to last me ages but how do I find a concealer that doesn't crease, I'm so lost guys. What do you guys recommend?

MAC Satin Lipstick, Rebel

Okay, so my most recent Mac purchase was this gorgeous purple-pink lipstick called Rebel. It is a Satin lipstick which means it is a semi-matte color. It looks VERY intense in the tube, but I assure you it’s not that crazy of a color. I backed to Mac a few lip glossed that I have owned for ages, a lipstick and a blush container. After watching beauty gurus such as Tanya Burr and Jen Im mention and rock this amazing color, I knew it was one that I had to get! With a dark red/purple lip liner you can make the color very intense and make it looking like how it does in the tube. With a nude lip liner, or no lip liner at all this color appears on my lips are a berry purple-pink. Kind of like the inside color of a blackberry! It’s more daring and bold but a color that is not difficult to wear at all! Though it is a better suited for Fall/Winter, I will for sure be wearing in the summer, like the rebel I am ;) 

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!?

MAC Archie's Girls

Fully aware I have been absent for a while! My apologies, I have just been so crazy busy with Uni, and as soon as Midterms ended, I'm not going to lie, I got lazy and forgot about blogging for a little bit! But I'm back, for now! :) 

Around Valentines day MAC came out with one of the BEST collections we have ever seen. The Archie's Girl collections was to die for. I have a weird obsession with MAC lipsticks so, of course, I had to get one. At first I was drawn to "Betty Bright" from the Betty line, and "Boyfriend Stealer" from the Veronica line. Unfortunately "Betty Bright" was sold out and "Boyfriend Stealer" was a bit too sheer and red for my linking. Soon after the lovely lady at MAC told me this, she showed me this color. Uhm...how much do I love this color? Too much!! Its a pinky-pale-lilac and its ah-mazing. 

The lady at MAC showed me how to Ombre this lipstick with a darker lip pencil, which you can somewhat see in the photo above. This color is truly amazing and I know for a fact that Summer time will love this color as much as I do!

What did you guys think of the collection? Did you pick anything up form it? :)

Korres Mascara

Let's talk lashes!! So #1, please ignore my gross eyebrows and #2, are you seeing how amazing this mascara looks? Korres is a brand I’m not quite familiar with. In fact, I've never used a product from this brand ever! I always go into Sephora thinking I want to purchase the Lip Butters, but not once did I notice the mascara. Turns out this mascara is better than I would have ever thought. For one, the wand is NOT plastic (I prefer bristle wands, it makes your lashes look more full) and secondly it gives amazing length and volume – super build-able and not clumpy at all. To compare to the Benefit ‘They're Real’, I only like this one a bit more because of the wand. I would probably purchase this in full size, so I insist you all try it out :) 

Any mascara's you're loving? xx

OOTD - casual

I have art classes on Wednesdays and last class this is what I wore. The only medium we use is charcoal so its a lot of black everywhere, I, as you can see, was stupid enough to wear a light colored cardigan. Thankfully, none of the charcoal got onto me! Surprising since i'm quite clumsy :p Anywho, this is what I wore.

Cardigan - I still have no idea where its from..They removed the store from the mall!..I think.. 

Shirt & Jeans - Forever 21....As usual.. :p 

I learned something in my Communications class that can describe this outfit... KISS, stands for 'keep it simple, stupid' That is exactly what this is, a simple casual outfit.

Are you wearing anything stylish today?

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.
