Liquid Lipstick: In or Out?

The liquid lipstick is the new 2-in-1 product has been starting to dominate the lip sections in both drugstores and high-end beauty stores. Liquid lipsticks are essentially highly pigmented lipglosses, so they are often as opaque as a standard lipstick. Some of the reasons for why liquid lipsticks have been getting a lot of hype is not only because of their high pigmentation, but also because they are not drying and have a glossy finish: two elements not typically found in lipstick.

Liquid lipsticks have actually been around around for a couple years, such as the Rimmel Apocalips lip color and the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar. Recently, however, liquid lipsticks have become a growing trend, with many brands also releasing their own version of the lipgloss, such as Too Faced Melted Liquefied Long Wear Lipstick, Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick, and Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick Lips. Other brands that have liquid lipsticks also include Revlon, Hourglass, and Shiseido.

I personally think that the liquid lipstick trend is a great trend for those who have been looking for a lipstick and lipgloss in one product. I don't own any liquid lipsticks, however, I starting to consider trying them, because of their awesome pigmentation and easy applicators. I also think that liquid lipsticks would be great during the holiday season when you want to rock a glossy red lip!

MONDAY QUOTE

source

Hey there peeps.

Its monday again and most of us could need some motivation on a monday, right? 

With this quote it is a bit easier to start into this week. 

If you are not motivated it may be because you don't have goals and dreams to reach out for. So first question to ask yourself: What do I want? 

Yes, that's a big one, I know. But when you know what you really want and you know what you have to do to get there, it can motivate you and make monday a piece of cake.

Think about it and make yourself aware of it every morning! 

(And yes, I totally listen to myself here!)

Hallo ihr Lieben.

Es ist wiedermal Montag und die meisten von uns könnten etwas Motivation ganz gut gebrauchen, nicht wahr?

Mit diesem Zitat wird der Start in diese Woche ein bisschen leichter. Wenn du nicht motiviert bist, könnte es daran liegen, dass du keine Ziele und Träume hast, nach denen du streben kannst. Also sollte die erste Frage die du dir stellst sein: Was will ICH?

Ja, ich weiss, das ist eine grosse Frage. Aber wenn du weisst, was du wirklich willst und wenn du weisst, wie du dahin kommst, kann es dich motivieren und den Montag jeweils zu einem Klacks machen.

Denk darüber nach und mach dir das jeden Morgen erneut bewusst! 

(Und ja, ich höre mir selbst hier gerade ganz genau zu!)

Garden of Eden | Alberta Ferretti | Spring/Summer 2015

     I'm really in love with new collection by Alberta Ferretti and inspired by the Garden of Eden. Very feminine and chic  models, lightweight fabrics, floral elements, all of this is perfect for spring. As you can see, floral prints, accessories and clothing elements will also be are relevant in the new season, as well as in the spring of 2014.

Also I loved the colors of the collections, especially this incredible blue color .... mmm just perfect ♥

     By the way....I almost forgot...this collection was presented at the Milan Fashion Week.

Fall Fashion Essentials!

Where did summer go? It feels as if the Fourth of July was just yesterday! Regardless, fall is officially here and one of the many things that gets me excited for fall is the fashion! Fall brings back comfy, laid back outfits, whether worn in rain or shine. This post will feature my 5 fall essentials that I think will be very useful pieces for the upcoming season. Each piece can be worn to fit your style or your level of comfort. Whether for school or a night out, all the pieces featured in this post are all basic pieces while still being a little trendy.

Sam Edelman, H&M, BP.

Nothing says casual like a simple plaid print! Flannels and plaid prints are usually associated with the fall and cooler months, however, this season, lighter plaid tops have been seen in almost every store. Lighter plaid tops are a great transition piece between summer and fall and are easy to layer. Plaid tops also come in a variety of colors and are perfect for a simple school outfit when paired with a pair of skinny jeans and booties.

Lulu's, Stoosh, Lulu's

Moto jackets are currently one of the more edgier trends, however, don't let the edge scare you away! There are wide range of moto jackets in stores right now and there is one to fit any style! If you prefer items with less edge, try a tweed moto jacket, like the one shown in the center. The light color and tweed material makes the jacket more feminine and classic while still incorporating the trend. If you like more edgier looks, go for a simple black leather moto jacket. Tan leather moto jackets also add edge, while adding a bit of sophistication. 

American Eagle Outfitters, J.Crew, J.Crew

Everyone should own a pair of skinny jeans for the fall. Not only are they casual, but they go with almost any top and color. Dark wash skinny jeans are a great basic jean that looks chic while still being comfortable. Fall is also a great time to pull out the darker colors, like black and grey. Black skinny jeans and grey skinny jeans also can go with nearly every color, but can add a little bit of edge or sophistication to the outfit, depending on how it is styled.

BP., H&M, TOMS, BP., Lulu's, BP.

Heeled booties was a gift sent to women of all heights, especially those on the shorter side! Taller boots have been in style for several years and it can sometimes feel like you are drowning in your boots. Booties are a great way to show off some more leg while also adding some height, which are great for those on the shorter side, including myself! Booties also come in a variety of styles, from wedges to fringe.

NB Handbags, Forever 21, Rebecca Minkoff, BP.

Quilted bags automatically add sophistication and class to any outfit (well, almost any outfit). Rebecca Minkoff released her quilted crossbody earlier this year, which seemed to cause other companies to follow close in their footsteps. Quilted handbags are a great essential for a night out, but can also be incorporated during the day, such as with a tote like the one shown by BP.

Back-to-School Outfits!

Putting together outfits on a school morning can sometimes seem like chore, however, putting together outfits that look polished don't require as much effort as it may seem. One of my biggest tips for those who are wanting to look put-together in the morning without all the effort is to prepare or plan out your outfit the night before. This saves time and may even give you a few extra minutes in the bed since you have already planned out what to wear! The outfits in this post feature many basic items that can be put together to create a comfortable, but polished look!

This first out goes back to the basics while still involving many prints and textures. Start off the outfit with a patterned long shirt and a pair of black leggings. Make sure the shirt is long enough in the back to cover, well, your butt, because that look isn't that cute. Next add a textured white scarf and a pair of heeled brown booties, both in which will intently make the outfit look more put together.

Floral is not just for the spring! When florals are paired with darker colors, it can make a perfect fall outfit both school and going out. This outfit is a little more on the dressier side, but the chunky sweater makes it wearable for class. First pair a black knit sweater with a dark floral skirt. Next, add a pair of black booties to compliment the sweater. As for accessories, wear a pair of gold studs and a long gold pendant necklace. Gold is a great color to wear in the fall, since it is on the warmer side like many fall colors.

This next outfit is a great outfit for those cooler fall days and involves classic colors and patterns! First start off with a gray sweater and a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. Next, add a plaid scarf for some detail and a navy quilted vest for some warmth (I absolutely love this H&M scarf and J. Crew vest!). Finish the look off with a pair of nude flats or riding boots!

I hope you enjoyed this post!

My 3 Back-To-School Makeup Must Haves!

It's that time of the year again when the days are getting shorter, which means for many, it's time to go back to school. During the days when you don't get your seven hours of sleep, sometimes a little wake-me-up using makeup can be helpful. Here are the three products that I think will be useful throughout the school year!

My first must-have for the school year is the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Through all the fun and stress during the long school days, skin can tend to get oily. Applying a mattifying powder is a quick way to prevent oil buildup and shine throughout the day. I love the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in particular because it has a very natural finish and I only need to reapply it once throughout the day.

School usually means more homework and less sleep, which doesn't have a great effect on the under eye area. The Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer is a great concealer to quickly brighten the eye area and instantly makes you look more awake. It can also be used to cover pimples during the days when you are extra stressed.

Lastly, another great way to look more awake and fresh in the morning is to apply a tinted lip balm, such as the Revlon Lip Butter in "Juicy Papaya". This Revlon Lip Butter is great for the school year, because it's a "my-lips-but-better" color that is natural looking and moisturizing while adding some color. Lip products can tend to be a hassle in the morning, but since this color is so natural, you can apply it quickly without a mirror.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

It's STILL summer

Today is the last day of summer 2014. :(  ok, I will survive.. 

The best summer memories are made  of small, simple pleasures like swimming, picking wild berries, eating icecream,...

Autumn is coming tommorow at 22:29 p.m. Take time make real lemonade, eat icecream, read a good book, and enjoy the beauty of nature. 

Stay tuned!

High-End Booties for Less!

Nothing screams fall like a good pair of booties! As stylish and comfortable as booties are, they can often be expensive and cost more than you are wanting and willing to spend. This post will feature booties that are more affordable versions than the high-end booties that are often seen in high-end stores. Keep in mind that although the more affordable versions are close replicas, the quality may not be as high as the high-end booties. If you are looking for some that won't last you for years and years, here are some great, more affordable options!

Opened-toed booties are one of the newest trends this season in terms of shoe wear. Although it may not be practical for all parts of the country during the fall, it is a great, stylist choice for days when it it's not raining or too cold outside. These Target Mossimo 'Kacie' Booties are almost identical to the Steve Madden 'Nonstp' Bootie, each having a similar style and a similar heel.

Strappy black booties are great for those who want a boot that is more edgy while still being very wearable. The strappy Target Mossimo 'Hartley' Booties are a very close match the Miz Mooz 'Devlynn' Bootie, with both shoes featuring three straps and gold buckles with cutout shafts. The only differences between the boots are that the Target boots have a darker heel and the Miz Mooz are a little more rugged looking. These, however, are very minor differences in the appearance between the two booties.

For those looking for a classic, simple boot without the steep price, these H&M Ankle Booties are a great choice and are comparable to the much pricer Cole Haan 'Draven' Booties. Both shoes feature an elastic side panel with a chunky high heel. The biggest difference between the two booties is the price (the H&M booties are over $250 less than the designer shoes and the H&M pair are now on sale for an even lower price!).

For those who liked the lace-up Dr. Marten boot trend, these leather Chelsea booties are an updated, but similar version. Theses H&M Chelsea Booties and the Dr. Martens 'Flora' Booties are very comparable, with the Target boots being almost $100 less than the Dr. Martens. Since they are more simple with elastic detailing, these booties are versatile while still being a little edgy.
