I wanted to create a look that was simple yet elegant and that could be worn with a variety of outfits. From patterned dresses to blazers with jeans =)
I love that spring brings about a change in the weather and makes everything seem so fresh therefore our moods change and our makeup is the best tool we have to reflect that!
Here is my step-by-step guide to a beautiful and fresh spring
look:
♥ I prime my face with my Sephora Anti-Shine Primer.
♥ I use my Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy duty concealer to cover my acne scars and any blemishes.
♥ I use my Real Techniques expert face brush to apply my Revlon Photo Ready foundation in 010 Caramel.
♥ For eyes I apply my MAC paint pot in Indianwood all over my lid with my fingers and use my MAC brush in 226 to apply my MAC Woodwinked eyeshadow on my outer corners and blend blend blend!
♥ Liquid liner is what I prefer all year round because it gives precision definition! I love my Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Eyeliner in 01 Blackest Black and I apply a very fine line on my lids.
♥ I apply two coats of my newest favorite mascara which is Maybelline's the Rocket in Very Black. It gives CRAZY volume!
♥ I fill in my eyebrows with my holy-grail eyebrow kit which is Milani's Brow Fix. I like to have my eyebrows more natural looking for spring but yet still give them some definition, the brush that comes with this kit is perfect for that!
♥ Next I very lightly dust MAC's mineralize blush in Love Joy on my cheekbones with my Real Techniques powder brush, nothing too heavy.
♥ Lastly I want a soft pink color on my lips so I line them with Milani's Lipliner in Mauvie Star, fill them in with my L'Oreal lipstick in 181 Sheer Linen, and finally use my Nars lipgloss in Dolce Vita.
A couple of things to keep in mind: I don't set my foundation with powder for spring because I prefer a dewy moisture-rich look as opposed to a matte finish for winter. And so sorry for such a close up of my face but I really wanted you guys to see the look altogether! =)
That completes my spring beauty look! =)

I am obsessed with vanilla bean frappuccinos from Starbucks!
I cant help but think that they are probably not very healthy but I just get these cravings that I can't control. I also really like the caramel frappuccinos and have noticed that even when it's freezing out I still order the cold drinks because they are just so yummy! =)
What do you usually order from Starbucks?

I happen to have an amazing best friend who owns her own bakery so I tend to sneak some delicious treats every once in a while.
For my birthday she brought me this amazing jumbo cupcake and a bunch of smaller ones with my name on it!! =)
Me and my family really enjoyed eating it and I am just so blessed that she took the time to make this for me. It was so yummy!
Have you ever had/made a

I'm not typically into cocktails but the other night I was in the weirdest mood!
Me and my coworker needed to de-stress after work and so we headed out to Elephant Bar because they have happy hour every night starting from 9:00 pm. We were so ready to just relax and have a nice time =)
The bartender recommended a Mai Tai and I am soooo glad that she did because it was delicious! I am
typically a beer type of girl and this actually was perfect because it didn't have too strong of a liquor taste!
If you're lucky enough to have an Elephant Bar near you and are over 21 I definitely recommend ordering a Mai Tai! =)

I picked this up at Sephora a few weeks ago and am sadly returning tomorrow so I thought I would share the reason with you guys before I do. =(
I bought this thinking that it would look so cute as a pop of color towards the area of hair behind my ear; So not falling from the top but towards the lower strands. I already have a streak of blonde there so I thought it would blend well.
The
reason why it DIDN'T work is because the actual amount of hair is very little. Like I would need at least 5 of these combined plus twice the length for it to look nice. My hair is so thick and long that this looked like literally one single strand of hair. Total FAIL =(
Thank God for returns!

I was recently on the hunt for warm beanies and had almost given up hope until I came across the sale section at Cotton On. =)
I really wanted a black knit beanie but I settled for these two cute colors and I have actually really loved how they go with my outfits.
They are both so warm and comfy and for about $5.00 each they were such a steal!! Clearance section for the win!!!

This is my most recent collective Sephora Haul and I thought it would be really fun to share with you guys!
They were having a sale on their clearance items so I thought I'd choose some goodies!
Here's what I got:
♡ Benefit Cabana Glama Palette
♡ Chloe Mini Perfume Set
♡ Illamasqua Nail Varnish Duo
I really love the Benefit palette so far and the scents from Chloe; I wasn't
too impressed with how the Illamasqua polishes swatched though so I'm thinking I'll most likely return them.

So I've actually had this in my home for a little while now but I am getting really into vintage-y home decor nowadays so I wanted to share with you guys =)
If you guys have read my posts before then you know I have an obsession with anything Paris themed so my little insides burst with joy when I came across this piece.
I love the vintage keys and the clock that is attached to it. When I
look at this I really feel like I'm some Parisienne cafe and I just feel so happy! I think I'm gonna start trying to collect vintage keys to incoporate into my home decor.

So me and my girls have an upcoming Vegas trip and I saw these at Forever 21 and thought they would be perfect! =)
I love the blue suede with gold buckles and think they are gonna be the perfect pop of color to the outfit I choose.
The straps are a perfect touch of sexy and edgy and I think so fitting for a trip such as this one. And c'mon those polka dots are just fun and adorable!

So I recently picked up new Revlon Polish and I just wanted to share with all you lovelies!
This is Revlon Minted and the name pretty much explains it all. I only have one other similar color from O.P.I but that is more like a sea green. I definitely needed this in my collection!
Mint is definitely trendy right now but I really do think it's more a staple now and gives off a classic and
subtle chic look.
I painted my nails while at work and it took me about 15 mins! I make it a point to have almost no clean up to do so I have really gotten my technique down and am so proud of myself!
