Makeup Monday: Tarte Sweet Dreams Lip Set

Hey everyone! Today I want to tell you about the Tarte Sweet Dreams Lip Set that I recently bought from Sephora. I’ve used many of Tarte’s products and overall really like them. I don’t usually buy sets because I try to only get what I need when I go to Sephora but I couldn’t pass this up. I absolutely love all the colors and I thought it was a great deal at $34 because one of these by…

Makeup Monday: Chanel Foundation

Happy Makeup Monday! I want to tell you guys about Chanel’s Perfection Lumiere foundation that I bought and tried for the first time. I basically love everything about Chanel. As far as makeup I had only tried Chanel’s lipglosses and mascara, which I love, but I also wanted to try their foundation. I went to the Chanel counter at Nordstrom on Sunday and the woman working there matched my skin to the correct foundation color and applied it. She also applied…

Sweater Chic

Hello everyone! I hope all of you have had a nice weekend. I apologize for not posting in awhile; I have been so busy and stressed this past week! I wanted to share with you all a sweater I wore a couple of weeks ago that I bought at H&M for $34.95, click here. I paired it with some black jeans from Forever21 and BCBGeneration heels. This sweater is a cropped sweater but it’s not extremely cropped. I…

Makeup Monday: The Beauty Blender

Hello everyone and happy Monday (or maybe not so happy Monday) but nonetheless it’s Monday and today’s feature is the Beauty Blender! It’s a latex-free teardrop-shaped makeup sponge used to apply foundation or concealer. You may be wondering how this makeup sponge can be different from any other makeup sponge. I was skeptical at first but it’s amazing! It’s a little pricy in my opinion for a makeup sponge at $19.95 at Sephora and also on their own website but it’s so worth it. It’s…

Double Feature: Casual Fall Looks

Good afternoon my Fashionistas! Yesterday was the first official day of autumn and it definitely felt like it! With that being said, that’s what brings me to today’s post. Most of my posts on outfits so far have been geared more towards the dressy and going out side so I thought it would be a good idea to share some cute yet casual outfits. These outfits can be worn on a day to day basis and are very affordable! Hopefully you…

Black & White with a Pop of Red

  TGIF! I hope you guys had a good week. I actually wore this outfit last Friday when I went out to dinner and to see a movie. I went to go see ‘No Good Deed’ and I have to say I loved it! It’s definitely worth seeing! I usually like to wear colorful outfits as you’ve probably already noticed but I also love black and white looks; there’s something classy and elegant about it if you wear the right thing. When I’m…

Makeup Monday: Urban Decay Complexion Kit

  Hello everyone, I hope you guys are having a good Monday! Monday’s are now going to be ‘Makeup Mondays’ where I post about my favorite products, least favorite products, new makeup I’ve tried, reviews, etc. Today I bring to you the Urban Decay Start Getting Naked Ultra Definition Complexion Kit that I bought from Sephora. Let me start off by saying I didn’t like this kit; It may work for some people but it didn’t work for me….

The Greek Festival

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are having a wonderful Wednesday 🙂 It’s been cloudy here the past couple of days and the humidity is still lingering but it’s starting to feel a little cooler (thank god!). I know it’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog post but my school work load is getting heavier, so I’ll most likely be doing my blog posts between Wednesday and Saturday. This past weekend I went to the annual Yiasou Greek Festival located at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox…

RIP Joan Rivers

As some of you may or may not have heard, Joan Rivers passed away yesterday at the age of 81 due to unexpected complications that occurred when she went in for an endoscopy on her vocal cords earlier this week. She passed away while in a medically induced coma and on life support. I was really hoping she would pull through and get better; I’m deeply saddened by the news of her passing. Joan Rivers was on a show…

Tribal Trousers

Hello everyone, I hope you guys had a wonderful labor day weekend! Not only was it nice being off on Monday but that means the school/work week is shorter 🙂 I bought these tribal pattern pants I’m wearing about a week ago from a boutique in Phillips Place here in Charlotte called K la. The best way to describe Phillips Place is an outdoor shopping center with restaurants that has a European look. I’ve been there numerous times to go to the movie theater and to Dean & DeLuca but…
