Outfit Of The Day: November 27, 2011

Guess who's ready for the cold weather?

I don't know if I've ever shown you an outfit featuring an over-sized sweater...

but they are verrry comfy! 

Not only are over-sized sweaters comfy, but they are also cute and on trend for this fall and the upcoming winter season.

And why not add a pop of color?

Sweater - BR

Pants - H&M

Boots - Forever 21

Ring & Necklace - Forever 21

If you like the makeup I'm wearing, please be sure to check out my tutorial below!

COMING SOON! Urban Decay Naked 2 (New Naked Palette)

Ladies & gents, the rumors are TRUE! The Naked 2 Palette is coming soon!!!

WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 I am so ecstatic that it's actually being released, I don't know what to do with myself!

Look at this beauty...

It looks like the Naked 2 palette will come with a mini lip gloss, and a dual sided brush. No primer or double-ended liner this time guys :(

I must say, though, the brush looks very nice!

The shades that will be featured in this palette are Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, and Blackout.

This palette looks VERY promising! I know I'll be ordering one as soon as possible. What are your thoughts on the Naked 2 palette? Will you be purchasing one?

Outfit Of The Day: Mary-Kate Olsen Inspired!

heyyyyyy loves!!!

long time, no blog!

My computer has been "out of order" for over a week now, unfortunately, so I have been unable to blog and vlog as I would like to. My apologies for leaving you guys hanging for so long!

If anyone has any tips and tricks on how to use a Mac computer when it comes to editing videos & pictures please let me know! I'm using one for the time being until I can get my own computer up and running again, and I've been using only PCs all my life, so I need all the help I can get with this Mac! =\

Anyways, on to the outfit!

You love the granny swag, huh?

Mary-Kate Olsen is often seen wearing over-sized plaid shirts and sweaters, so I decided to wear a slightly over-sized flannel with a very over-sized sweater.

A Couple Of Semi-Recent OOTDs

I know, I know....I should've posted these pictures AGES ago...

But I was sick :(

So here they are now! Yay!!! 

This is the outfit I wore to see Lupe Fiasco in concert (he was AMAZING by the way).

And here's an outfit I wore out & about with some friends. Very basic, with the exception of the shoes...

 please ignore the black bra! I was sick, so laundry was the last thing on my mind...lol

The heels are from Rocket Dog. I bought them at DSW shoe store, and they were my first purchase from that store! Let's just say I will absolutely be shopping there again ^_^

And here's the videos where these outfits were previously featured!

My new love...REVLON COLORBURST LIP BUTTERS!!!

I need to personally thank Revlon. Seriously. They have made my lips verrrry happy!

I found these beauties at Walgreens last night, and guess what? This week at Walgreens, Revlon is buy 1, get 1 half off! You guys know I was a happy camper!! Lol!

I bought Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart, Candy Apple, and Red Velvet.  

FYI: The Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters retail for $7.49 each.

I love the semi-translucent caps of the lip butters! Very cute, don't ya think? The quilted pattern on each cap is typical of every Colorbrust lip product Revlon sells. 

I've heard rumors of these babies being permanent, so let's hope that's true because they are amazing!

These lip butters are GREAT. Initially, I didn't think I'd like them because they are indeed a bit sheerer than a lipstick. Yet, they feel SO amazing on the lips! They are very very VERY moisturizing, and the texture of them is very creamy and nice. The pigmentation is not a big deal. Yes, they're a bit sheer, but you can always build up the coverage of the product.

I only have one swatch for you at the moment because I'm supposed to be getting ready for a bar-be-que..lol. Here it is ^_^

This is a swatch of the ColorBurst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake!

It's a beautiful light pink! It's perfect because it's not too light. It's just right. As you can see from my swatch, the pigmentation is pretty good as well!

Above is another swatch, but this time in the shade. So far, this is my favorite of the four. I'll try to have more swatches soon!

What do you think of these lip butters? See any colors that tickle your fancy?

Nail Of The Day: Nicole by OPI Ornament For Each Other (Holiday 2011)

This is Ornament For Each Other, a new glitter polish from Nicole by OPI for one of their holiday collections for this year! There are two holiday collections by them, one being Kardashian Kolors, and I have info on that collection HERE. The collection this polish came from includes 3 other glitters, but I only bought 2 (so far...).

Ornament For Each Other is a mix of bright red glitter and a warm gold glitter. It's PERFECT for the holidays! It reminds me of Santa...

Of course, I can't wait til the holidays, so I'm rockin' this beauty now! I got this polish at Target for about 8 bucks. This collection was just released, so your local Target should still have it. However, there were only four of each color to a display. So if you want it, get it ASAP!

What do you think of this polish? Let me know below! ^_^

Makeup Look In Honor Of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

 

Hello my loves!

To the surprise of many, October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's also Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

"The cycle of abuse ends with awareness."

After years and years of silence and indifference, it's great to see that our country is becoming more aware of what domestic violence is, and how it can affect any and every one.

I did this makeup look in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Purple is the official color associated with DVAM, so I used mostly that color for this look.
