May Obsession: Chanel Bags






I love, love, love Chanel. I collect Louis Vuitton and Juicy Couture but my favorite will always be a classic flap bag from Chanel. Her designs will never go out of style and I love how the purses add a hint of sophistication to any outfit. I only own one so far but as soon as I get some more mulaaa I want a HOT PINK one !

NARS "Arabian Nights" Eyeshadow Trio Review

Hello lovelies! So along with the "Mata Hari" blush I ordered this eyeshadow trio from Amazon.com. I must say I AM NOT impressed!!!






MY REVIEW
* When swatched this product looks gorgg, but when I tried to create a look it just looked... black.
* All THREE eyeshadows look black.
*I actually have a black sparkly eyeshadow from Ulta that looks just like this.
* The pigmentation is nice but for $30 you might as well go buy ONE black sparkly eyeshadow. 
* Overall, WASTE OF $ :(((((

Style Star Throwback: Lucille Ball









Who doesn't love Lucy? She was such an icon! I love how she mixed menswear with her 50s housewife flair. Picture #3 is my FAVE, I am still on the lookout for a top like that.

Target & Rue21 Haul


So I started my birthday shopping early at Target and Rue21, I found some pretty summer items and jewelry. Hope yall like it :)

TARGET $24.99
I found this dress at Target and I think it is adorable, it is strapless but it would look great with a jean jacket or blazer. I love the Aztec print as well and the length hits right at the knees. 

TARGET $17.99
I love, love, love this skirt soooo much. The color is a pretty cobalt blue and the skirt hits right at the knees. The brown waist belt gives the skirt an expensive look.

TARGET $17.99
When I find something I really like I always try to find it in another color, and you ALWAYS need a pretty black skirt. 

RUE21 $7.99
I have been really into statement pieces and I think big knuckle rings are so hawt! Coral is really in for the summer and this ring has just the right amount of bling.

RUE21 $5.99
Another statement ring! Turquoise is a beautiful color for summer as well and the hearts make it so girly <3<3

RUE21 $3
These earrings are LEGIT! They are so long and gorgeous. They would look great with long hair.

So how do you guys like my stuff?? I have a whole lot of winter/fall clothes so I needed some new summer pieces. I will be adding some more things to my summer wardrobe so just stay tuned because I am going to start doing "Outfit of the Day" posts real soon.

NARS "Mata Hari" Blush Review

Hello! I am back with another review! If you haven't already noticed, I have a bit of a blush fetish lol. This time I wanted to try NARS. Unless you have been living under a rock, you know their blushes are top rated so I was tired of being left out of the loop. I purchased this along with an eyeshadow trio (I will do a review on it soon.) 

*This is not my hand, but since I will provide a pic of myself with the product on I wanted you all to see what it looks like on lighter skin tones.

PROS

* The color is the PERFECT baby doll pink

* The consistency is very smooth and has a silver like shimmer to it

*Great for summer

*The packaging is nice and sleek 

CONS

* The color is very pretty but if you have a darker complexion it may not have the intensity that you want

* For the price $28 the package is a tad small

OVERALL? 

Even with the cons, I still LOVE this blush. NARS, has a quality that many cosmetic brands (even MAC) cannot match. I will definitely be purchasing more makeup from them. I hope this review was helpful. Later dolls.

Celeb Look of the Week: Scarlett Johansson





Scarlett Johansson was honored this week with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I can't name one thing I don't love about this look. She always manages to mix flirty and vintage together and I really like it. She expertly paired these two prints without looking tacky and the red shoes added just enough pop. The updo and cat-eye sunglasses make her look like a modern Marilyn Monroe. Two thumbs up for Scarlett.

Mini MAC Haul & Review

Hey bloggers! I have a treat for you today, a MAC HAUL lol. Well a mini haul because I am not rich! Enjoy.

MAC PREP & PRIME TRANSLUCENT POWDER $22



OKAY let me get straight to it, I LOVE, LOVE this product. It comes in a loose powder or pressed. It is basically a finishing powder, and I know some women of color may be hesitant due to the white color but have no fear it goes on totally translucent. I have combination skin so after a few hours my T-Zone is getting shiny. Once I started wearing this product I rarely have that problem. I purchased mine from Macys.com but you can hit up the MAC counter if you want. 

MAC CREMEBLEND BLUSH IN "RESTORES DAZZLE" $20




This is my first creme blush... EVER and I must say I like it. The consistency is creamy and smooth and the color looks great on my skin. "Restores Dazzle" is a nice, rich, pink color. It gives my cheeks a pretty color and is perfect for the summer.

MAC MINERALIZE BLUSH IN "LOVE THING" $23




This is my new favorite blush! It is just beautiful. It has a golden shimmer with a peachy/pink color. I love it soooo much and I feel it would flatter every skin tone.

MAC POWDER BLUSH IN "MAGENTA" $20




Let me start off by saying this blush is VERY pigmented so you do not need a whole lot. It is a matte blush so it will give you a nice clean finish. I like this blush but I don't love it. I don't reach for it as much as the other two. Not because it is not pretty, because it is, it's just a little loud lol. If you are light handed when you apply it you will be good:)

I hope you all enjoyed my mini haul! MAC is known for having excellent products so if you don't already own any items from the I suggest you get on it. Bye ladies.
