Nails of the Day: Sinful Colors in Ruby Ruby

I don’t like the color red, tbh, it’s so bright and bold and obnoxious, often tacky. That’s just how I feel about the color in general, but it’s one of the three colors I wear to work everyday, so I’m getting better aquainted with it, on the daily. I just polished them yesterday, but they’re chipping slightly because I’ve been doing hair all day!

I bought this color like three or four ago for hair school; we had to polish fake nails on a fake hand and we had to use fire cracker red so it would show up well. Everyone at work has thought it’s pretty though, so maybe I’ll use this hue more in the future! At least it’s shiny and matches my work clothes perfectly, oh yes and also my color blind boyfriend can see it, so that’s cool. It’s his favorite color!

I wore this to dinner at Blue Rock Pizza last month. It was unintentional but I ended up in all grey! I hadn’t planned on wearing anything super cute, but I decided to photo it when I realized it was an epic outfit. I probably shouldn’t have worn suede since it was raining, however, the color matched the stormy night perfectly!

Review: NYX Lingerie Matte Lip colors

Above, I am wearing the Babydoll shade. It is a nice warm nude color that doesn’t wash me out!

I’m so excited with these!! They work just as well as the twenty buck lip colors at Sephora. Seriously, for such an affordable makeup brand, I’m thrilled that these are in the same league as Kylie Cosmetics, Kat Von D, and Jefree Star.

The applicator is great length, perfect width and long enough, and kind of flat. After a couple minutes, it’s totally dry, and stays on as long as you don’t eat something really greasy. Doesn’t flake unless you rub your lips too much before it dries, or apply too much of the product. Make sure your lips are exfoliated well too so it won’t build up funny and crumble, but that goes for any lip stick really.

And in this pic I’m wearing my fave because of the berry undertone, it’s called Embellishment. This was taken after a day of work, see, it stayed in place the whole shift!

New Products: Facial Brush & Facial Stimulator

I found both of these at Tjmaxx and decided I need to pamper myself more, so why not?

They are both battery operated, at-home facial massagers. Technically the brush is a cleaner too, but anything that stimulates blood flow is anti-aging, and massaging. I like that they are both waterproof, so you can use them in the bath or shower or just at the sink if you’re in a hurry.

If I really like them after using them a while, I’ll do a review!

Outfit of the Day: Muted Rose Bodycon

This is what I wore on Christmas day! It’s a snug fitting dress that’s from the Project Runway collection this year, available at J.C. Penny’s. Kentaro was the winner this year, so they’re his designs. He’s so talented, I was rooting for him!

I loved the color on myself, it brought out my eye color, and it felt pretty comfortable. The front is like a corset so it made my shape very becoming.

Outfit of the Day: Retro Velvet

I felt like a version of Auora, Belle, or Ariel in this fabulous number. It’s originally from the fifties, it’s velvet with satin trim on the waist, and a bow behind that can be snapped on or off.

I wore this on Christmas Eve and it was a hit! It was also warm enough thanks to the sleeves.

These pretty things were on sale at Peebles and I had to bring them home immediately! I’ve heard great things about them and am excited to try them out. I’ll post a review later on.

Muse life: John Ryan Photos

Over the summer I worked with the talented John Ryan Flaherty once more. These are probably the best yet! The bored super model look might be my fave. Lol.

I typically like color photos the best, but some of these show an enormous amount of feeling and should be appreciated raw, for what they are. Hopefully they are an inspiration.

At the moment, before this shoot, I was admiring the females in Pretty Little Liars, and actress/model Cara Delivenge.

Outfit of the Day: Hot Pink Hi-lo

This summer I was on a mission to find a cute Hi-Lo style dress. They are made to be longer in the back, and shorter in the front, like a mullet, only cool and chic. I’ve been wanting one in my collection of clothes, and just hadn’t found the right one, that is, until I went to the mountains. In Maggie Valley, in a surf/ski shop, I found this perfect beauty of a summer dress.

Look how vivid it showed up! I paired it with my beige GUESS wedges, and the Elegance insued. This is my fave sundress ATM. The material is silky, with a ruffled up texture, so it doesn’t wrinkle and it can be dressed up with a belt. Or for a more casual vibe, it can be used as a bathing suit cover up!

Hair of the Day: Hairbow Updo

I had been wanting to try this for years and never got around to it until recently. It is actually much more simple than you would imagine.

All you have to do is start like you are making a pony tail, but then don’t pull the tail through, so that it is stuck looking like a sloppy bun. Then you take the end and pull in forward and tuck it in to hide the hair tie. You can use a couple bobby pins to hold it there.

It is super easy, I can’t explain it that well. I wore it this way a few times this summer, and I always got compliments! It is very high fashion but at the same time lazy. It is great if you are low key about things like I am, and when it is freaking hot outside and you just need to throw your hair up, you can do this and still look fashionably cool.
