Stay classy this fall with the following fashion pieces~

Trenchcoat

A staple in every girls closet and makes you look so put together!

Sweater

Stay cute, warm and trendy in this adorable sweater! Pair it with some colored denims or leggings and you're good to go!

Silk Top

What more can I add to this? Silk top = a MUST have!

Boots

They could be of any size or style. Boots are a staple for our wardrobe and take the place of flipflops in the colder months. They're comfy and fashionable, what more could I ask for?

Scarf

Brings an outfit together while adding a pop of colour!

Leggings

Comfy yet stylish! A must have in our wardrobes that can be easily carried into Winter and Spring!

Mug

To keep you warm during the cold months with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate!

At the end of the day, you could have all this and much more yet still look like a mess. Play "simple" and that will end up looking classy!

Stay Beautiful Girls! xoxo~<3

How to shop for products without dissapointment!

2012-08-23T20:21:00.000-07:00

How many times have you bought a product and then ended up disliking the product and regretting the purchase? Trust me, it happens to us all the time! What makes matters worse is, purchasing a $65 foundation and realizing Revlon's ColorStay foundation works the same, if not better!

Well, if you have found yourself wishing someone would have warned you about the product before purchasing it.. keep reading this post to find out how we "warn ourselves."

1. MakeUpAlley.com
A website filled with 3823827383 reviews on products related with all things beauty. This site is divided into sections with Top MUA picks, Best Value products, Most Reviewed products and so forth to help you decide on whether or not the product will work for you.

2. Youtube and other blogs
Simply type into google the product and it's review. You will most likely get tons of opinions, raves and rants on that product from people in different circumstances, like climate or with different skin/hair types. All you have to do is decide for yourself, whether it, the product, will or will not work for you.

3. Lastly look at the products' website and look for reviews on there. Also check to see the ingredient list and identify any ingredients that you know your body is sensitive to.

We hope these tips help you with your research regarding a certain product. Remember, not everything we purchase we end up likin, and that is why we'll be back soon with a "Products I regret buying" post.

Stay beautiful! <3

~Hey guys:)
Two years ago, I discovered a way for people who have semi-long, naturally curly hair to curl them neatly without a curler. Its easy and very fast! Here's how:
Step 1~ After you showered, keep your hair below your ears wet.

Step 2~ Divide your hair into pigtails, but really low ones so that they start at the base of your head.

Step 3~ Take one pigtail and begin curling all of it towards yourself or outwards, depending on the kind of curl you want.

Step 4~ Do the same with the other pigtail and let them dry like this, in the curled state. (Keep continously curling for 2-3 min with your fingers while they're wet).

Step 5~ When the pigtails have fully dried, take off the elastic carefully, so as not to undo the curl and separate each one into many smaller curls.

That's it! With these five, easy steps, your hair will have beautiful curls, without any damage to the ends!
Keep your hair healthy and stay beautiful~

Drugstore Haul!

2012-08-09T19:44:00.003-07:00

~I always end up walking into a Shoppers Drug Mart with the intention of stocking up for products just this once, but end up walking out of the store an hour later with a bag in each hand!

Keep reading to find out what I got!

Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipstick in Coral Luster

This particular formula is hydrating and doesn't leave my lips dry. It's also sheer yet buildable and has a lasting power of an average lipstick. I find this colour to be very attractive on a variety of skin tones as it is buildable and a perfect summer, maybe even an early fall colour, if sheered out!

Around $8

Garnier Fructis Style Curl Construct Mousse (Extra Strong Hold)

I have not tried out this product, but will do a review along with the other Garnier product.

Around $4

Garnier Fructis Style Curl Calm Down Anti-frizz Cream

I have not tried this product out yet but am hoping it will calm down my frizzy curls! Will keep you guys updated with a full-on review in the near future.

Around $5

Revlon Nail polish in the colour minted which has a self-descriptive name and is a perfect mint colour with a not so perfect formulation. I am not a big fan of the formulation as it took me over 3 coats to get the perfect colour which is something I can still deal with. But the bubbles in the polish ruined my mood and the overall feel for this polish :(

I will come back to it and give it another go but as of now I'm advice you to try out all the other wonderful, more hassle-free formulations out there!

I have also handled a sample of a KIBIO Hydrating Masque and have been impressed with it so far! I apply a tiny amount onto my face before bed and I wake up with clearer, more hydrated looking skin! As far as I know, they are only available at Shoppers Drug Mart but are also sold online. Nonetheless, I will definitely be grabbing this on my next trip to Shoppers!

Free sample from Shoppers Drug Mart

I also picked up a Suave Shampoo since I wanted to save a couple bucks and try out a cheaper, yet reputable brand. In all honesty, Suave does the trick of "cleaning" my hair and scalp.

Around $3

My last product is now a new HG hair product and it is the Biosilk Therapy Serum.

Around $23

This serum calms down my frizz and gives my hair that shine without weighing it down or making it feel greasy! It is similar to the CHI Silk Infusion, though I find the Infusion to weigh down my hair a tad bit. This serum from Biosilk is heavenly and even though it is a little pricey at around $23, it will last you a long time! A little drop goes a long way and so far is the only product out of the 37837 I've tried that actually does the trick of calming down my curls!

Well this is it for my haul, by no means am I trying to brag and bla di ad i a da. You've heard it before! :P I enjoy looking at what other people have picked up and thought it'd be nice to share what I get once in a while.

Will be back with more posts and promise to remain consistent as back-to-school season arrives; yes I know I hate it too when 27382373 people all talk about it at the same time!

Stay you know, beautiful ;) xx

What makeup we wear on a casual summer day!

2012-07-30T17:34:00.001-07:00

We personally find wearing makeup in the summer to be bothersome but still need some amount of coverage to conceal up that non-blessed skin we have. What do we do? Keep reading to find out!

The basics!

Moisturizer & lip balm, are a MUST!!

Now for the face, I mix a pump of my MAC Matchmaster foundation with half a pump of my daily moisturizer, which is currently the Olay sensitive skin with SPF 30 daily moisturizer. I then cover up my blemishes (yes, I have them!) with my L'Oreal true match concealer. I then go ahead and curl my eye lashes and apply my Maybelline Falsies Mascara. I do not recommend this mascara as it takes a lot of work to separate the lashes after application, however the affect it amazing. But whether that is worth the time you spend in the heat trying to separate your lashes.. is up to you!

I bronze it up with my Happy Booster Bronzer from Physicians Formula and I use my Hard Candy Blush in Sweet and Spicy on the apples of my cheeks.

For the 'oh so kissable lips', I apply my Blistex chapstick and then my Cha Cha lip stain by Benefit. I spray myself with the Bath & Body Works Peach Bellini body spray.

This was just a quick post but we'll be back with many more!

Apply sunscreen and have a blast! xx
