Lips, Verve by mac; Top, Zara; Shorts, American Eagle; Rings, thrifted
This season, Zara has been doing it right. This top has a crepe feeling front and sleeves and the back is a jersey cotton material. It's soft and so comfortable but still so sleek and stylish. The bluey-violet tones against the peachy pink ones are lovely Also, MAC's satin Verve lipstick is the most recent addition to my lipstick collection. Its a 'my lips but darker' kinda color. Never thought I would be into a brown lipstick but I guess its a nude for me!
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?
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
I recently went to TOPSHOP for the first time and must I say, walking through that store is an experience! Honestly, I just wanted to buy every damn thing. One of the things I loved about it is that there was a whole beauty section. I swear I had 100 swatches of lip colors by the time I walked out of there!
The color I bought was a lipstick in Clueless. Its a sick lipstick if that makes sense. The consistency is buttery and smooth like a lip balm. The pigmentation is buildable but vibrant. I've wanted a hot hot pink for a really long time now and i really love this lip color for my skin tone. There's a pretty large rang of colors and products to choose from. Clueless is a very hot pink but it has some purpley/violet undertones to it. I would suggest wearing a nude or pink lip liner underneath to enhance the staying power. But overall I love this color!! I'll be sure to pink some more up when I go back!
Do you guys wear lip liners a lot & where are your favorite ones from? And have you tried TOPSHOP makeup?
SO, I did it. I bought it! I was debating whether to get the Naked 2 or Basics. I ended up buying this one because, A. I still have plenty of my warm shimmery Naked palette left and B. The basics was cheaper. Now, you could probably go to another (million) blogs with amazing lighting and swatches but here are my horrid swatches anyways :)
The 1st thing I really really like how I don't own any of these colors! Haha All the colors are smooth and velvety, almost like butter. Seriously amazing quality guys! The color I will probably get the most wear out of i'm guessing would be Tease. It's similar to Buck from the original Naked palette but a bit cooler. This palette in general, and in my opinion are cooler tones just as the Naked 2 are. I still love all these colors regardless of warm or cool tones.
I believe this palette was 32$ (Canadian of course) And I think it was a total bang for my buck! (Get it? Buck? like the color I like the most? Harharhar) Especially since I love any Matte finish makeup.
Do you think it's work the money to buy the Basics if you have the original or the 2nd? What do you think about it in general?
I've recently been thinking a lot about my dreams. Having them, goals reaching towards them, and pursuing them. These are just a few of my thoughts that have been passing through my mind. How am I supposed to more forward in my life with negative comments, or what happens if my dreams don't come true? The truth is, YOU can change your dreams and goals and expectations to fit your lifestyle. As long as you're striving to get something and be successful and happy in life, that could be your dream.
I had a huge problem in high school with certain friends not taking my dream, which is to pursue a career in the fashion industry seriously, and it really brought me down that people would think it was an unrealistic goal and that it wouldn't make good income. I am fortunate to have parents that really support my dream of fashion and that see potential in me. As for the friends that brought me down (there were just a few, but it still really bothered me) I knew they were wrong and that I could be very happy, and very successful in the field of fashion.
I keep dreaming each moment I can about living in New York City or flying to Paris for Fashion Week and to be honest I can't judge if this dream will come true or not. I can only hope that the progress I am making now is enough to make my dreams come true.
Moving forward with negative attitudes was also a difficult transition to go though. I really couldn't accept what some of these people were telling me!! Moving on also means letting go. Now, this could mean letting go of that negative person, maybe an unrealistic dream or just that certain comment that has you changing your initial dream. Whatever if may be I hope that you all move forward in this new year and don't let negative comments, people or perceptions change who you can become.
These are just a few pictures off of my Tumblr that have to do with dreams.

These blouses I got for my birthday (which I technically picked out myself aha) They are both from Aritzia. The striped one from the Wilfred line and the Cobalt blue one from the T.babaton line. I thought I would do a little OOTN for both, in which I paired a cute black clutch and some simple jewelry. I've actually been really into blouses lately, they sell some amazing ones at Forever 21 for very affordable prices! I've also been dying to go to the recently new Topshop which just opened downtown a few weeks ago!
I'm actually debating which outfit to wear for my birthday dinner with friends this coming weekend! Which do you prefer?
p.s. Sorry if the camera quality isn't perfect, my Blackberry is all that I have to work with at the moment!
So I turned 18 yesterday. It doesn't really even feel like it was my birthday, though, I am officially an adult and can make big girl choices aha. I recall talking to my High school counselor a few months back. I was talking to her about my future and Uni and just life in general. She had said something along the lines of,
"How old do you think you'll live till?, 80?" she then proceed to make a timeline with her hands and continued to say "You're right here in life" (Like an inch way though the entire timeline of my life) "You have so much time to worry and make mistakes and you are too young to worry about the future so much...
So on my way home from picking up my delicious red velvet cake which I devoured, I make a few calculations on my good ol' Blackberry. If I think i'll live to 80, it would be the year 2074. My mind yelled silently, HOW CRAZY IS THAT? 2074, although the days feel short and sometimes I run out of motivation there will be plenty of time to make progress.
