So let me tell you guys a story:
A few years ago I purchased a lotion for a dollar during Victoria's Secret Semi-annual sale. The scent was so sexy and alluring, I LOVED IT. After I noticed I was running low on the lotion I went back to buy more and they told me that it had been discontinued. *GASP* How could they discontinue a scent so perfect for meeee?! I accepted soon after the ordeal that I would never have that scent again.

Fast forward to now.

Reminiscing on the beautiful scent I whined to my best friend about how much I missed it and she told me "Why don't you look on ebay or Amazon and see if someone is selling it?" I went on ebay and found the scent! Unfortunately, people were charging twice, sometimes three times, the original amount! I just couldn't see myself spending close to $100 for a bottle of lotion/perfume! I decided to look on Amazon and actually found the bottle for a much more affordable price. The seller was very prompt with the shipping and I actually received it within a week, BEFORE the estimated delivery date! Woohoo!

Anyway, here is my baby: Victoria's Secret Mood Perfume in Succulent. A warm and sexy mix of blackberries, sandalwood, and vanilla.




Hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

Kiss Me Goodnight

Giving you a guys a review on a few Revlon lipsticks that I've purchased over the past couple of weeks.


Berry Haute


Apricot Fantasy


Really Red


Black Cherry

On my lips:

Berry Haute - This color is SO vibrant! I'm in love with it!


Apricot Fantasy - In love with this nude color! It doesn't make me look washed out like some others I've tried


Really Red - I like the matte finish on this one


Black Cherry - I had hoped this color would come out much darker but I still like it. I guess the search continues....

Be sure to leave some colors I might like in the comment section!

PS. I went thrifting today! Can't wait to share my finds with you!

Under Construction

Okay, a couple things:
1. I'm definitely trying out some new things: mixing prints, layering textures, going for a more eye catching & fearless style. 
2. I'm currently in the process of remodeling my room (hence the new background) but I hope to show you guys the finished result soon!
3. As you can see, I've braided my hair again! I'll try to keep these in a little longer! Wish me luck!

Until next time, sweeties!

Color Me Beautiful

Maybelline Color Tattoos - Excellent pigment (swatch below) and they really do stay on all day! But the white color takes a little bit of elbow grease to remove.


















Swatches


Neutrogena moisturizer - This moisturizer is the BEST one I've ever come across. My face stays virtually oil free all day long and it's fragrance free which I love.


Revlon Colorstay Aqua Translucent Finishing Powder - Now add this bad boy on after moisturizing and finishing up your makeup and your makeup will stay on ALL day long without getting oily OR dry. Plus I love how it feels wet even though it's dry.
