OOTN (Outfit Of The Night)

Leave a comment

Wedding season’s here! I had a wedding last weekend and this is what I wore:

 Dress: Light Yellow with gold beading at the neckline from Forever 21
 Belt: Gold chain. It was actually the strap from my clutch and it was too short to double it and  tie it, so I clipped them to make a loop in the front.
Shoes: Gold strappy sandals from Aldo
Clutch: Gold and pink-beige from H&M
Bracelet: Gold detailing with little flowers and silver gems from Forever 21
Earings: Bronze with gold, flower shapped. Bought them from a store in Florida 3 years ago so I don’t remember haha! Sorry.

Makeup: I used a shimmery navy for the smokey effect with gold and a shimmery neutral. For lips nude color. The navy made the green from my eyes stand out. Wanted to keep it simple.

I mixed different shades of neutrals and metalics like different shades of golds, bronze.
The point is, you don’t have to have the exact same gold everywhere or bronze. I stayed in the same tones that’s how it works.

All about LASHES!!

2 Comments

False lashes have come a long way; they’ve evolved in so many ways. They are now a statement. There’s all kinds of different looks and gadgets.
There’s paper lashes:

Lashes with stones:

Feather Lashes:

Colored:

Glitter:

All shapes and sizes…. (my personal favorite) 😀


Eye lashes don’t need to be simple anymore. Adding a touch of color or designs can really polish a look. Change and make a natural look more interesting. Even wearing them alone, gives a punch of color and style. I think they’re great and fun, there is so much variety to choose from it’s amazing! So I think people shouldn’t be shy and just experiment, make them your own.

Bridal makeup bag

Ahhhh it’s wedding season!! I love weddings 😀
Brides, be prepared… For the Big Day you will need a few little things to bring along to refresh throughout the day/night. Make yourself a little makeup bag and ask a friend, bridesmaid, maid of honor to keep it for you. Things you should have:

Cotton Swabs, Highlighter Pen or Concealer (which ever you prefer) – to remove smudges from the crying under the eyes
Powder – to remove any shine later in the day/night
Oil Blotting Papers (or just use 1 layer of toilet paper) – if you have very oily skin this is better choice than reapplying layers of powder
Lip Liner, Lipstick, and/or Gloss – to touch up your lips obviously, very important
Eye Drops – in CASE you cry buckets and your eyes get red

Have fun, enjoy every second of your day and don’t let little things upset you because before you know it… Your “big day” will be over.
So to all the future brides getting married: CONGRATS and again, have fun 😀

Hair “Poof” Magic… Well, almost!!

1 Comment

OOOOk so a week ago I bought the Got2B  Powder’ful volumizing powder. I used it all week (like literally everyday) with different looks. I really love how it boosts up the hair with VOLUME! The only think I’m not crazy over is the texture of it, feels weird. . I tried just putting powder directly onto hair and also applying it with my fingertips. The best way to apply this is with your fingertips, rub the product on the area where volume is mostly needed!! For the amount of $$ I think it’s great!! So you have boring flat hair? Add some of this to your roots, play around with it to give it some hold and there you go… Magic !!  haha
