This stuff works miracles. My hands are always in water at work, cold water, and I deal with a lot of chemicals and hair products which irritate the hell out of my hands. I still like using thick hand creams and lotions, but they don’t heal the same ways salves do. This salve is the consistency of vaseline, it smells just like roses, and you can put it on any dry areas. It can be used as lip balm, rubbed into elbows, or cuticles. It can pretty much be used all over! It takes the redness out of my dry, itchy, red, cracked skin instantly. I put this on upwards of five times a day. C.O. Bigelow is a brand you can find at Bath & Body Works.

There is a really cool vendor on Etsy that you need to check out. Check her out under Atomic Lace by Laura Michele!! All her stuff is really neat. From patches to faux gauge earrings.

I am a huge fan of bubble tea in real life, so why not have it around my neck as well?! It’s so cute, and it is winking!!! I love these laser cut pieces of jewelry because of the thickness and shininess of the centerpiece.

New: Pyro Pet Reindeer

This was one of the main things I asked for this Christmas season. I have seen these online the past few years, and because of my love for candles, I figured it is a hot item for me! So finally.. I have my paw on the Pyro Pet..

Meet Dyri, the lovable geometric deer candle. You may be asking yourself.. “but why hasn’t he a face?” Well, he is so plain because people like myself purchase these cute wax statues to watch them burn. Quite literally, once he melts down for 24 hours, he will be a gnarly goldish metal skeleton!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait. Once I get him melted down, I will snap a photo and write a post. 🙂 Stay tuned. Not only do I have a blue one, I also have a white one at my bf’s house. I am curious to see if they will look the same underneath. Muahahhaha. If they are cool enough, I plan to keep them around as decor!

I love cuteness. Anything adorable.. consider my name on it. I love garters and knee socks because they are so cute and fun to wear. In the first photo I am wearing some new baby pink leather garters with small metal spikes and hearts in the center. I purchased them from Wish.com and they are perf. (So far I have gotten several things from Wish and it’s all been exactly what I wanted and good quality) I have wanted them for years because I always see them when I am looking at fashion online.I know that some people wear them with shorts, but I wore mine under a skirt and with stockings.

The knee socks were given to me as a gift, and they are just a throwback to sports socks. Honestly they make me think of athletic wear of the 80’s because I used to watch Three’s Company and I am pretty sure Janet had some like this. If not, I am thinking of something else from that era. Regardless, they are very sportswear chic. I wore these out with a tunic, chucks, and a baseball hat to give it that grunge, careless vibe.

Outfit of the Day: Texture & Neutrals

This is a throwback look that I donned a couple months ago when it was still nice and summery. I would say it’s one of my favorites because it’s super pretty, tiny, and very in style for the moment! Neutrals are BIG, I am not sure how long that will last, but IDC, I will always rock them because they are so flattering, simple, and chic no matter the occasion. The bottom is a bit large, so I have to stick out my stomach a little to keep it from sliding. I have a little black pleather crop top that goes with the mini too, for when I want to be matchy-matchy monochromatic!

The crop and pleather skirt are from Forever 21. Tartiest matte lip paint by Tarte.

I’ve finished with this bracelet, I have all the charms I wanted for it now!! Lipstick, the frog prince, the knight in shining armor, the high heel, the heart, the ring, and the carriage. How romantic?! It’s probably my favorite piece of jewelry atm. It is the best. My favorite thing is that it actually fits my wrist perfectly. This is a great bracelet if you’re a girlie girl or believe in fairy tale endings. Never give up hope for the life you want!

Review: Kylie Lip Kit

The hype is here. I finally decided to give Kylie Jenner’s matte lip colors a chance. As I stated a few posts back, I am in love with matte color and have divorced my glosses which I used to use religiously. Matte colors are simply more chic, they last way longer, and so they are worth it. So, what do I think of the Kylie Cosmetics brand?

I will say that I like them alright. However, out of all the brands I have tried, like Kat Von D, Tarte, and Too Faced, Kylie Cosmetics might fall into last place. This is because it seems to cake up a little bit, even when applied thinly spread and very carefully, and I have not had this issue with any of the other brands I mentioned. It feels a little too dry, making your lips feel very tight, which I have not experienced with other brands. The other ones I have tried are creamier. I also noticed that it doesn’t stay on as well as the others, after I eat I feel like a lot of it needs to be re-applied, whereas, I do not have to reapply  my matte colors by Kat Von D or Tarte.

I have grown up watching the Kardashians and I am very fond of them and their half sister, even though I don’t approve of everything she may do in her life, that is neither here nor there. So I am a bit sad that it doesn’t have the same lasting power or smooth creamy kind of texture that I expected. If I wasn’t such an expert on the other top matte brands, I probably would love her product! I just know too much ab0ut the super great products out there, so it makes it sound harsh when I am discussing her line. It’s def. not the worst makeup product I have tried or anything, I was just a tad disappointed. I will still wear it, and probably learn how to better apply it to make it last how I want it to. Maybe I will find a way to keep it from flaking off.

I’ve tried the colors Posie K and Candy K. The color in these images is Posie K.

Hair of the Day: HUN (Half Up Bun)

Alternative Style, Barbie, Casual, Hair of the Day, Makeup, Marc Jacobs, MOTD

This is a messy casual look. I’m thinking that the best place to wear it for me is the gym, but that is just because I hardly ever wear my hair styled up. My hair is usually down but I was having a bad bang day and decided to change it up.

Notice how nice and big my triceps are in that shirt btw. LOL. I actually enjoyed this boho hair more than I expected. It only took a couple bobby pins. I like how my bangs were falling out of it. Effortless chic. This look is really on trend atm, we will see how long it lasts though! It’s cool and fashionable but probably a risk for many people. It might be one of those things we look back on and shake our heads.

Review: Urban Decay All Nighter

Foundation Primer, Primer, review, Urban Decay

I’ve used a couple makeup primers since middle or high school, but sometimes they stung my sensitive skin or felt stiff and tight. This new primer I’ve been into is Urban Decay’s All Nighter makeup setting spray. I’m pretty impressed by it. There’s no sticky or tight feeling, and I haven’t felt it burn at all! I like that it keeps my face looking like I’ve just applied the makeup, even hours and hours later. My skin doesn’t look sweaty and nothing smears. Highly recommend this!

New Hair: Pink and Blue Peekaboo

Alternative Style, Barbie, blue hair, Pink Hair

I changed up the peekaboo colors in my hair yet again! After having teal for a while, a few months actually, I decided I wanted to add another color to spruce things up a bit. First, I tried a pink color called Cotton Candy by Manic Panic, which turned out too pastel for my liking, so I went with this pretty pink Joico colo this weekr. It actually took a little darker than I thought it would, in the harsh flourescent lights indoors, it looks more purple-ish, and anyone who knows me well knows that I hate purple ANYTHING. Outdoors and in more natural lighting, it is obviously fuschia pink (thankfully.) For right now, this will do. I’m not sure what’s next. I think I know what I’m doing next, but it’s secret for now!!
