Outfit of the Day | Spotty Dotty

I know that my wardrobe has been a bit on the non-colorful side lately. I just prefer to dress in dark colors so I can wear a bright lip or eyeshadow effortlessly. When I saw this top on the COS website I had to give in and just get something that's a bit of out my comfort zone. Prints are not something that I'm a huge fan of, then add a bunch of unsymmetrical colorful dots and you get something that sounds straight out of a horror movie to me. Oddly enough this top has become one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. It goes to show that sometimes it's worth stepping out of your style comfort zone.

Ipsy February 2015 Bag

I've tried a few monthly beauty subscriptions and no service has made me happier than Ipsy. I feel like they offer such a great variety of both affordable and high end makeup, beauty tools, and also skin care items. So far I haven't been disappointed with Ipsy and this February bag had to be one of the best. Psssst... don't tell my previous bags but this one has to be my favorite. To check out what I received in this month's Ipsy just click below to watch the video.

Outfit of the Day | Winter in San Diego

Just when I was getting used to the chilly weather it suddenly got hot in San Diego. My sweaters and jackets have gone back inside my closet, and my summer clothes are now taking the main stage once again. While the sun may be out, my wardrobe will remain dark for the most part. The outfit that I went with today could also be worn in a colder climate if you add some tights, switch the shoes for boots, and if you add coat. Just thinking about those things is making me really miss living in an area where you actually get to experience all four seasons. Well until then I will show you my winter outfit for San Diego weather.

Introducing Colour Pop

Recently I've been hearing a lot of buzz about a brand called Colour Pop. Everyone from Temptalia to Kathleen Lights (a recent obsession of mine) has been raving about the affordable company from Los Angeles. After seeing multiple swatches of their lippie stix (lipsticks) and a cornucopia of positive reviews, I decided to finally give them a go. Once I went to their website I was pleasantly shocked by the amount of textures and colors offered. The best thing of all? Every single eyeshadow, lip liner, and lipstick is only $5! Five, cinco, cinq! I feel like I need to repeat it again because I had such a hard time believing this the first time I saw the prices. All eyeshadows, lippie stix, and lippie pencils are $5. Sounds too good to be true, right?

1940's Makeup Tutorial

A few weeks ago Abby, one of the YouTubers that inspired me to start making videos, contacted me to see if I wanted to do a collab. The challenge: Create a video inspired by a decade. Since I have been told several times that my features remind them of old actresses/1940's style women, then I decided to do something inspired by the 1940's. In my newest tutorial I'm going to walk you through the look I created so you can achieve a very feminine and retro look yourself. As I previously mentioned, this video is a collab, but not a regular collab- it is a big one! Myself and six other YouTubers are part of the #DecadesCollab, all the links will be listed down below.
