On Trend Outfit for Fall!

Hey girls!

Today I have a post on a on-trend outfit for Fall. You might remember when I talked about this website: Polyvore. I actually created this particular outfit on Polyvore, which I hope you guys will like!

Some of the fall trends I love, some I dislike. I only put in fall trends that I really like because I don't want to recommend trends that I'm not absolutely in love with! Click here to figure out YOUR fall style.

The shirt is from chicnova.com and is available for $15! That is an amazing price for a denim shirt - especially because they are SO in for fall. They're really comfortable and cute as well. The jeans I picked for this outfit are on trend because of the color. One of the popular colors for fall is "Oxblood" or deep berry/blood-red kind of colors. Usually oxblood is a little darker, but I wanted to pick a pair of pants that were inexpensive to show, and these were one of the few inexpensive pairs I found. These pants retail for $16 and you can purchase them from fashionunion.com. The shoes are probably my favorite part of the outfit. They are a deep chocolate brown color, and have the cute laces as well. These oxfords are $44 and from dorothyperkins.com. Oxfords aren't typically a trend, but are cute for really any season. (You could also opt for a pair of dark brown boots as well). The ring I chose for this outfit is a pewter color; a detailed wrap-around leaf ring - perfect for the fall time. This ring is from modcloth.com, retailing for $12. To top this on-trend outfit for fall off, I chose these brushed-gold earrings. They are a beautiful golden color, perfect for autumn. I LOVE leaf earrings right now, so I was super excited to find them for only $11 from republic.co.uk.

What trends are you going to be sporting for the fall time?

What's on my Wish List? MAC Showgirl Eyeshadow - FT. NEW MARILYN MONROE COLLECTION!

Hey girls!

I have a super exciting blog post for you all today! This post concerns the new Marilyn Monroe collection from MAC. There is SO much hype about this collection, and I was one of the super excited people as well (as much as I hate to admit haha). MakeupbyTiffanyD actually just did a blog post about this collection so click here to read all about that. I found that blog post very helpful and informative about the newest collection from MAC!

So, the one product from this collection that I am just in LOVE with and cannot wait to check out is the "Showgirl" eyeshadow. This is a great color for fall and winter. It's a beautiful sparkly baby, powder blue and I don't have enough good things to say about it!

It's SO pretty, and I am just at a loss for words. It would be an awesome shadow to use as an eyeliner on the lower-lash line for a pop of color (which would be great for summer or if you're uncomfortable with color on your lids!)

I'm going to try my BEST to get to MAC this weekend and pick this shadow up - It'll be my lucky day if it's not sold out (which I'm hoping and praying it isn't, but probably will be haha)

So, that's the most current product on my wish list, and if the shadow ends up being available at MAC, will make sure to feature it in a video or blog post soon!

Are you going to pick up anything from the Marilyn Monroe collection? If so, what?

What's YOUR Fall Style?

Hey everyone!

I came across this quiz online the other day online and I really liked the idea of it. I even did the quiz myself!

 My results were: "You take everything with a grain of salt and don’t buy into all the hype. You’ll probably incorporate some of this fall’s fashions into your existing wardrobe of classics, such as a pair of chain-covered booties or a leather jacket."

 I really like some of the fall trends, but I'm not going to splurge on all of them (some I don't even like!) So, if it's really trendy and I absolutely LOVE it, I will probably cave in and buy it anyway. ;) This way, you can save money by not buying all the trends, but maybe buying a few that will possibly still be "in" next year and that you are really loving.

See the quiz at Find your signature fall style


What's your fall style?

Hey everyone!

Two days ago I uploaded an "Everyday Neutrals Tutorial" which was basically just an everyday neutral makeup tutorial that I do a lot. It's very simple, pretty and natural, and if you haven't watched it already, than click here. Also, when watching the video, make sure to set it on 720pHD for the best quality (I upload some videos in higher quality, especially tutorials.)

Thank you!

Rave Review! Lush's Ocean Salt!

Hey girls!

Here's a quick review for you all. Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I really DO plan to post and update more regularly, even if that means pre-writing a few posts on the weekend (I pre-record for videos, so I could probably do that for blog posts, too!) Anyway, sorry again!

So, today I have a review for you all on the Lush "Ocean Salt".  Here is the blurb that they have on the website for the product if you are interested:

COCONUT CREAM AND SEA SALT SCRUB

Back in 2005, our inventors had come up with a number of fantastic cleansers but there was one category they had yet to conquer: The scrub! A sea salt scrub! With that, they whipped up (our now enormously popular) Ocean Salt. Washing with Ocean Salt is like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water. We mix in fresh avocado and coconut to hydrate thirsty skin, while the antibacterial effects of lime and vodka is ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes. The minerals in sea salt soften as it scrubs away dirt and blockages.

I absolutely LOVE Ocean Salt from Lush! In fact, it's one of their most popular skincare products! So many of my friends have and use this product - I haven't met one person who says they don't like it.

It's nice for exfoliating your skin (you can use it on your face and on your body; I mostly use it on my face and legs). When you exfoliate your skin, it really refreshens and clears your skin of all the gunk and dirt.

As you can see by the picture above, Ocean Salt literally looks like ocean salt! Actually, in the product, there is sea salt, which is really interesting.

There are two sizes of Lush's Ocean Salt: A Large, which is $34.95 and a Small, which is $19.99.
I tend to get the large size, just because I usually share this product with my sister (we share a bathroom and use a LOT of the same makeup and skincare products) so we sometimes split the cost and share the product equally.

Have any of you used Lush's "Ocean Salt"? Do you like or dislike it?

Blair
