Fenty Beauty

As many of you know, Rihanna launched her new beauty range on September 8th. Fenty Beauty has taken over the beauty community! I can't tell you how many reviews I've watched on YouTube. I think it's safe to say that everyone was super excited about this launch, especially with the astonishing 40 shades she released. 40 shades in her first launch?! That's unheard of! Rihanna expressed that her inpiration for this collection was that she has friends that are of many different shades and tones, and it's hurtful to not be included, because every girl deserves to feel beautiful. I couldn't have said it better myself!     
                               

Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation- 410

Match Stix Matte Skinstick- Latte

Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter- Trophy Wife

Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer- Fenty Glow

I decided to go with the shade 410 in foundation, because Jackie Aina mixed shades 410 and 420 together to get her perfect shade. I definitely don't have the money to buy two shades of this foundation, and 410 was the only shade Sephora in Mall of Georgia had left, so 410 it was! 

I found this product to be extremely flawless and matte, which I love, because I somehow end up looking like a grease ball at the end of the day when I use dewy foundations. This foundation also dries very quickly, so you have to work fast when blending. I recommend using a beauty sponge when blending this foundation in, so you maximize the coverage. You'll also want to pick a shade that appears a shade lighter than your skintone, because it oxidizes. 

                                             

I decided to only pick up one of the Match Stix for hightlighting. I prefer to contour with powder and I  bought the Killawatt highlighter, so there was no need for me to purchase the Match Stix Trio. The formula of the Match Stix is very unique to me. It's creamy but matte at the same time. If  you have dry skin, you may not like this product, because it's on the drier side. Paired with the Pro Filt'r foundation, this product makes your skin look flawless, but not weighed down.

           

The Killawatt highlighter has to be the crowd favorite. It literally looks like crushed gold! This highlighter is very glittery, which is definitely out of my comfort zone. I wouldn't say that this is an everyday highlighter, but put this on for a night out, and you'll be glowing in the dark!     

Lastly, the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer is just your basic lipgloss. What's special about this product is definitely the packaging. The bottle that the gloss comes in has a lot more girth than most lip gloss bottles, so you're essentially getting more product. The doe foot applicator is also quite large, making it easier to apply the gloss with one swipe.

Overall, I really love this collection. The products work beautifully together, giving any woman a flawless finish. These products are also buildable, so you have the option to rock a sheer,  natural  look, or a dramatic, yet comfortable beat. If you haven't tried any of these products and you're on the fence about purchasing them, I say they're worth the purchase. Rihanna put a lot of time and effort into this line, and I have to say that I feel red carpet ready when wearing the range!  

Be sure to watch my video and see these products in action.

My Christmas List 2015

I can't believe that it's almost Christmas time already. It seems like just yesterday when we brought in the new year (2015). I always look forward to the holidays, because I love being around my family and I love the music and decorations. I'm 23 now, and Christmas has shifted to being more for the children in the family, which is no problem at all, because I never ask for too much. This year, however, I have had my eye on a few things that I would love to have in my closet and on my body! Here are the items I have been lusting over!

Monthly Outfit Inspirations: N O V E M B E R

For the month of November, I've decided to take things to a new level. I wanted to make things a little bit dressier and layered. Although the weather down here has not declined, I think these pieces are sure to keep you warm at night and breezy during the day. What I love about these outfits is that you can add or remove layers depending on the climate or the occasion.

The holidays are also coming up, and these outfits are great choices for parties and family gatherings. I would definitely be the star of the show while wearing one of these dressy numbers.

The websites I visited for this month’s outfit inspirations are Topshop, Forever 21, and Asos. I love these sites, because they don’t play it safe when it comes to fashion. I believe that is exactly what style is all about. You should feel confident in your clothing, because you live your life in it!

Black and Burgundy

This past Thursday was my birthday, and this year I turned 23. I decided to bring my Jordan year in with style and elegance. I knew I wanted to go out to eat at Ichiban, a hibachi restaurant, with my friends, and since I was the birthday girl, I had to be dressed to kill! Earlier in the day I went to the mall and picked up a few things, including this burgundy shoulder bag, I just so happened to match my shoes, which were on my birthday wishlist. I wanted to wear these two pieces together without making them clash with one another, so I accompanied the purse and shoes with an all black outfit and simple gold jewelry.

Jacket: H&M

Mesh top: Forever 21

Skirt: Old Navy

Shoes: H&M

Purse: Old Navy

Necklace: Forever 21

Watch: Michael Kors (blogpost)

Monthly Outfit Inspirations: O C T O B E R

Right now I'm in between paychecks, so that means I'm browsing the internet, window shopping for the things i can't buy! Rather than moping about these pieces, I have decided to draw inspiration from them. I've never done this on my blog before, but I would like to start this series not only to save my pockets, but also to make use of the clothing I already have by wearing them in different ways. In doing this, I hope to move that much closer to a minimalist lifestyle where I shop less, but make better shopping choices. Some of my favorite shops to browse are Forever 21, Topshop, Zara, Mango, and so many more! Being that I am a college student, my style is more on the comfortable chic side, and these outfits are perfect examples of what I would wear on a typical day. Some of the more dressier numbers are what I would wear to an event or a show on campus. I'm sure that I can put some of these outfits together with the clothing that I already own, and I look forward making the most of my wardrobe.

All of these photos are derived from Asos, Forever 21, and Mango shopping websites.
