Winter Blowout: Steals under $20!

It's a winter wonderland out there everyone! I was not prepared for all this snow, but hey I guess it's time to whip out those hats and gloves! I know this time of year is hectic for everyone, but it also can be the most beautiful time of your year. Also, I know that people want to be able to give gifts to all of their loved ones.. but sometimes the bank account won't allow us to do all we want to. BUT! I have some considerable gift ideas for this season that will not break the bank & keep your wallet from being bare after the holidays.

I am a giving person all year round, but especially during the holidays I tend to go overboard! I go shopping and think.. oh this person would love this, or he/she would love that.. but then I go home with all these bags and too much debt. This Christmas I am trying to get better at keeping track of what I spend on each person, and see how much that would total all together after making a list of who I want to buy for. Also next to their name I will put down how much I plan to spend so I give myself somewhat of a limit. You obviously want to be realistic and buy things that are affordable for your budget, but that doesn't mean these presents can't be fun, stylish, or special! I made a list of some cool items for you guys, these are my 9 fun holiday gifts (since there are 9 days until Christmas!) under $20 dollars that I thought may spark an idea for someone your shopping for! 

Snap Happy: Selfie Taker

Nice & Cozy: Heated Blanket

It's all Fun & Games: Roulette Drinking Game

Artsy Geek: MacBook Decals

Music Lover: Furry Ear Muff Headphones

Photo Fanatic: Camera Lense Coffee Mug

Jewelry Junkie: Hanger Jewelry Holder 

Ipad Obsessed :GoGo Pillow

Makeup Queen: Heated Eyelash Curler 

Any of these ideas make you think of someone you need to buy for?! I sure hope so! These are all affordable, fun, & different! They are special for many different people & are definitely unique gifts! Happy Holidays my fellow followers!

Makeup Monday

It’s fall of 2013 and it’s time to change our looks. Makeup for this season is more versatile than most. The makeup trends for this season though are well defined and every woman will find there makeup nitch. From raspberry shadows, to ombre lips, ladies this fall you will find a makeup style you love and can stick with. NYFW models I noticed ranged in their makeup styles, some designers went for the more natural makeup looks, and some went more retro/dark.  

Trending in the beauty department for this fall... Matte Lips in red,bubblegum pink,browns, or a nude lip. If you personally don’t like the matte look for you, go with a color and a clear gloss. Also if you want to get fancy, go with an ombre lip! I know I personally would mess it up, but hey ladies if your up for the challenge go for it and rock it!  Moving up from the lips and going to the eyes, were looking at raspberry shadows, copper shadows, & cat eyes. These makeup trends were big on the runways this fall. Eyes were covered in smokey autumn colors and strong liners to give the eyes a more dramatic look. Try out different styles, colors, stains, etc. See which suits you best! If you don’t like one, just go to the next, test out whats best for you, don’t get discouraged! It’s a new season, let the experimenting and fall fun begin:)

Beauty Products To Try

Hey Everyone, I'm back!

I'm sorry I was MIA for so long! I have had a lot going on these past couple weeks but now I am back & ready to share with all of you! Today is Monday & for me you know that it's "Makeup Monday." Most of you also know that have read my posts in the past, I am not a full out makeup girl, but I do like to research and learn about the new products that come out! I am ready to try out some new products and embrace my makeup potential. Let's take a look at some of these NEW beauty favorites.

My Makeup Routine
1)makeup primer
2)mineral coverup
3)blush
4)bronzer
5)mascara
6)lip gloss/colored lip balm

I am not one to mess around with eye shadows or liners, I feel like I always mess it up in someway or another. I did see though that "NAKED" Urban Decay Basics came out with a new neutral palette that I may consider purchasing. More natural color palettes are more attractive for my skin tone, and I feel look better on most girls skin as well... unless your planning for a night out & want to add a POP  of color then that I totally approve!

 

New gel intense liner from Maybelline has also caught my eye! I haven't tried out or bought a new eye liner in probably a year or so! I rarely wear it and rarely have any to experiment with, but now that I saw this new product, I might have to give it a shot. There are four intense color choices for this product to give Maybelline lovers options.  Another reason why I want to try it out is that the product is smudge proof/waterproof for 24 hours & this liner is contact lense safe! I usually don't like wearing eye makeup because of it smudging or if it would get into my lenses, now I would have one less makeup mishap!

Moving from eyes to lips, I noticed some fierce and glamorous new colors introduced by Tarte. They have  new 12 hour long lasting lip stick with some funky new names I might add! These lipsticks are little pricey, but are well worth the price & last. The packaging of the lipstick is also very stylish to go along with the shocking colors & wild names!  The cap to the stick is bright & the lipstick package is made out of bamboo! 

Last but not least, we can't forget about your hair! I want my hair to grow longer and longer & it seems to take forever! I am interested in trying this new TRESemmé Keratin Smooth collection. I am hoping using the shampoo, conditioner, and other products in this collection that it will help my hair grow faster, but also keep it healthy! Besides these products helping my hair grow, it keeps frizz away for up to 48 hours, now that sounds good to me! Also TRESemmé is not an expensive brand, but the products do live up to the expectations of the us the customers! If you have never tried any of TRESemmé's hair care products, I recommend investing in them & giving them a whirl!

Ladies of the 80's

    Throwback Thursday. I am going back to the 80's today. If it wasn't for the 80's, my favorite TV network MTV would not be here. MTV revolutionized the fashion industry and of course the music industry. For some the 80's were in the past and they wanted it to stay there, with their bad hair days, heavy makeup, and bright layered clothing. In the 80's, this decade was when people were trying to discover who they were. This decade also over compensated itself, everyone always wanted things bigger or just wanted more! Big hair, excessive accessories, and those retched shoulder pads... none of those sounds like a fashion do to me. Many of us can hate on the 80's, but the 80's did bring some fun with it as well. 

    Madonna was a huge hit in the 80's, she was a music sensation. Some described Madonna in the 80's as a "soulful diva." Madonna dressed outrageous in the 80's just like the rest, but when she came out and performed, she dazzled herself in costume jewelry! You knew after Madonna was wearing it, all of her female fans had to follow in her fashion shadow. Madonna wasn't the only one creating a fashion splash in the 80's, Princess Diana had her own style to add to the mix. Princess Diana was definitely a fashion icon in the 80's. The charming Princess Diana became a trendsetter, she didn't wear what the "norm" was. She stepped outside the fashion standards and created her own. She wore what she wanted, even though some of her fashion choices had small mishaps, she was herself. Her gorgeous gowns and dresses I can't even begin to count, every girl admired her and wanted to be her. She redefined the fashion world in the 80's and was definitely a woman to remember. Besides the scandalous Madonna, and the loveable Princess, we can't forget some other ladies of the 80's... Joan Collins who was not only another face of the 80's to add to this list, she was a sex icon and an inspiration to women to be independent. I don't exactly see how she became a sex icon with her huge ruffles and hats to match, but hey it was the 80's! Brooke Shields, the face that people remembered in the 80's and the legs to match in her favorite jeans. "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins?.. Nothing!" Not only did her skin tight jean style catch eyes of many, her thick eyebrows added to her look, these two aspects of her appearance were almost a trademark of who she was.

    I can go on and on with the 80's but I think I caught your interest and gave you enough.. for now! What decade would you go back to for a day if you could? Would you go back to the decade you were born in or would you want to experience a different one? Looking back on the decades, I always find something new that intrigues me and keeps my interest. Going back in time to me and seeing how things have changed (mainly in fashion) gives me a new perspective on how to look at style now.  I wish I could experience many different aspects of certain decades, but hey they do say history can repeat itself right?

Wedge Wednesday

What do my fellow fashionista's think about the latest wedge trend? Are you embracing it or are you letting it pass you by? Sneaker wedges have been very popular but do you think this look is the right look for you? These sporty new wedges need to be paired correctly for it to look stylish and put together. No girl wants to mix sneaker wedges with any elegant look, but if you want a casual or sporty look with a little height, this is the perfect fit! For a fashionable and unique edge, I would recommend buying a pair! I have not bought a pair of these athletic wedges, and I think I'm going to take the plunge and make the purchase! Who's going to join me with this trend?

Dominican Dilemma

Happy Monday Everyone. Sorry I was absent on my page for a week, I was out of the country on vacation. I went to the Dominican Republic for my cousins wedding. The wedding was beautiful and I am so happy for my cousin! I am happy I was included and was able to be their to see the perfect ceremony my cousin has always dreamed of, but the vacation itself wasn't so much the vacation I hoped it would be. We had a lot more obstacles and problems than I ever thought. I'll explain to all of you guys what happened just so you all know what I mean.

My 88 year old Nana (this is what I call my grandma) (who just turned 89 yesterday.) fell down at our hotel on vacation. She ended up breaking her hip and wrist because of this accident. We had to send her home earlier than planned and she had to miss the wedding. She was heart broken of course and so were all of my family, including myself. My Nana is very close to my cousin and to see her have to leave before her wedding was very devastating but before my Nana did have to leave she got a surprise. The night before she flew back home, my cousin and her new husband, decided to have a small ceremony in the hotel room where we were staying just for my grandma. Tears streaming down her cheeks and smile on her face, you couldn't help but feel heartache. They were of course happy tears because she did get to see her granddaughter get married, but she didn't want to leave and miss the real wedding. The most important thing though was my grandmas health and we had to get that worked out before anything. My mom went home early with her as well on the flight. She was very upset and heart broken that she had to miss the wedding as well, but she knew what she needed to do and did her best. My whole family stayed strong together to make sure the wedding came together and most importantly made sure my grandma was taken care of. She and my mother got home safely thank god and my Nana had to get surgery. On top of her falling and missing the wedding, she had to get her surgery on her birthday. It has just been one thing after another and I wish I could turn back time to change it all, but unfortunately everything happens for a reason, even though half the time I don't understand why things happen. All in all the surgery went well and she will be okay, the surgery was half the battle and now we all just have to continue so support her so she can get through the rest of it.

Here are some pictures of the wedding, and some pictures of my family & my Nana. I would like to dedicate this post to her & would like to say Happy Birthday. We all love you so much, stay strong.
