OOTD # 1

Alright guys I know I disappeared for a while, but i'm finally back. Yes I got my laptop finally repaired. Only I know how hard this whole week went without posting anything up! But anyways I'm starting a new series which will be OOTD!

Just want to get it out there that this is NOT to show off what I own or brag about anything! It's just to give you some ideas or maybe some of you are just curious how I put an outfit together! I will only continue doing these if you all like them, so make sure you let me know!

I won't be doing this everyday lol but at least 3 times a month. I'll try to keep up, let's see how it goes!

Oh & I happen to work at Costa Blanca so you might see a lot of stuff from there! lol

JUMPER I actually sewed this myself so can't tell you much... But I got the fabric from Fabric Land & making this cost me about $35 in total.

BLACK CARDIGAN is from Costa Blanca. I  really don't remember the price because I didn't purchase this recently. But they usually are about $25.

STATEMENT NECKLACE Costa Blanca, $12.50

I'm in love with this. That's all I can say.

RING H&M, $6.95

I usually don't buy a lot of rings, but this just caught my eye!

SHOES Spring, $39.50

Uhm can I just tell you how much I LOVE these. They look amazing under jeans and are SO comfortable! 

BELT Costa Blanca, $4.99

Kourtney Kardashian Inspired!

I know this took me a while to do but it's finally here. As we all know Kourtney Kardashian is amazingly stunning. But just so you guys know this is NOT a transformation. It's just an inspiration makeup look that I came up with after going through a pile of her images online. Yes I know, my eyes look nothing like hers, nor am I trying to make them look like it, the look is just my take on her eye makeup :) I hope you all like it!

Lets get started! 

Like always, start off with a clean eye & apply your primer to prevent any creasing.

 

Taking this light sheer brown, apply it to the lid as a base color.

Pack on a warm golden color on the eyelid. 

 

 

Now take a clean brush and blend the crease for a clean finish.

 It should now look something like this.

Now take the same golden color and apply that in the inner corner of the eye & also going about halfway underneath the waterline. Use either an angled brush or a small pencil brush.

Take a warm brown shade and apply that to the outer half of the eye. 

Blend the crease again and add more color if needed.

So far, it should look something like this. 

Take a bronze shade and apply that to the crease, going in winds wiper motion and pull it up towards the brow.   

Make sure the bronze shade doesn't come 

 Take a black eye shadow and add some to the outer corner of the eye. Now blend it in the crease AND pull the color onto the lid.

After all that blending it should look like this. NOTE the bronze is still peeking through the black.

I wanted to intensify the bronze, so take a bit more of the same bronze shade we used before onto a fluffy brush and apple that right on top on the black, blending it in.

Apply black eyeliner in your waterline and about half way under the waterline, leaving the golden visible in the other half that we applied earlier. 

For the brow highlight, take this creme shade and apply that to the brow bone, blending it with the bronze.

Now apply your eye liner and mascara! 

For that whole Kardashian look, I decided to add some false lashes. 

& this was the final look!

Are You A Situation Shopper?

Alright so this post is totally random. I don't know how many people will relate to it, but I honestly know too many people that actually fit a profile of a situation shopper.
Okay so first lets go over some of the characteristics.. OR "symptoms" of being a situation shopper.

                                                 

1. You never end up liking anything you buy after wearing it a few times or maybe right after purchasing it.
2. Everything/Anything you buy is what you WANT and not what you NEED.
3.  Regardless of having something to wear for a certain event, you decide to go buy something for it, & never end up wearing that to the event.
             OR
You wear that to the event & then never wanna touch it again.
4. While shopping, using the excuse "I might need it" or "It might go with something".
5. Purchasing things just because you have nothing better to spend it on (There's no such thing as saving in your world!)

If you thing you fit into even just 2 of these 5 symptoms, guess what my friend YOU'RE A SITUATION SHOPPER!

                                             

Sorry for the caps haha, I had to make it sound dramatic.
Just for the info the term "situation shopper" was indeed made by my lovely, sweet, awesome manager to describe some of us that worked under her. As I do work at a retail, being classified under this term was very common. And i'm glad to say I've overcome this ..or I think I have.
Anyways! not worrying about me right now, I wanted to share just a few experiences I've had myself and some that happened to a few people I know (not naming any names) which ended up giving us the title of a being a situation shopper!

Since I don't want to name any names, so in all the events I share with you the main character (the situation shopper) will be named Alina!

1. I remember once my co worker told me about the one day she had off, she decided to go out and spend some time out with her bf. And as they're out, trying to figure out where to go, they end up going to the beach. Now that Alina was at the beach, she realized the clothes she was wearing weren't really "beach appropriate". So instead of going home like a normal person, Alina decides to go to a store and just buy a new dress she can change into!
 *If you guys think that was the right thing to do, you're a situation shopper* 

2. One day Alina shows for work wearing work appropriate clothes & let me add, looking very pretty. 10 minutes in, she decides that she doesn't like what she showed up for work in, & buys a whole new outfit to wear that same day.
*If you think that was the right thing to do, you're a situation shopper*

3. This one time, I saw this gorgeous white blazer at work, (I'm a sucker for blazers) & decided to buy it just because. While purchasing it, my manager asked me why i'm getting it. I replied saying that I NEEDED a white blazer (when I had 3 different ones already!!) & my manager corrected me saying, "You mean you WANTED a white blazer?" It actually made me think... but I still ended up buying it.
 *If you think that was the right thing to do, you're a situation shopper*


I think I got my point across with these scenarios right? If you or anyone you know had the symptoms above, welcome to the group! No i'm kidding.. it's bad. Stop spending all your money!

Glamorous!

It's been a while I know I know but I just got so caught up with work and other things! But I promise I got lots coming up! This one was totally random though, didn't plan it out before but it turned out to be a pretty awesome look! This look is more on the intense side, I know all the looks i have done so far were pretty wearable. So I wanted to change that up a bit and this is something I would totally wear to a party, going out at night, cute dress on, heels, got my hair did and ready for some fun!

This is the look done on my beautiful model! If you wanna know how to get this look, keeeeep reaaading! lolz

Let's get started!

So, first things first, start off with a clean face and apply your eye primer to prevent the colors from creasing.

Now, as a base, I applied my Maybelline Color Tattoo in 15 Audacious Asphalt all over the lid. Quickly just blend out the color only from your crease because it's harder to blend this product after it sets. Which in most cases is a good thing, its a strong base for your other eye shadows.

Next I took my matte black eye shadow from the Body Shop smokey eye quad and applied that all over my lid. Right on top of that base color we applier earlier.

Take a clean fluffy brush and blend out the harsh edges under the crease. Pull some black toward the outer corner and make sure the inner corner is left clean. 

Now take this matte purple and apply that in the crease and take it a little above the crease as well. Now, BLEND. I cannot stress enough about this but do not be afraid to blend your colors because you can always add more but we do not want any harsh lines.  

At his point, you can add more color if you like.

Now i'm taking this VERY pretty, warm toned purple by Body Shop's Nature's Minerals collection in Vivid Amethyst and apply that to my outer corner and pull it towards the crease. Also apply this under your eye, only about half way in. 

Now, before blending the last step, take a brown with red undertones and verryy lightly apply that right above the crease with a fluffy brush, and with the same brush blend the color with the purple shades.

   

Taking a light shimmery purple eye shadow, apply that to the inner corner that we left empty and also apply that under your eye from the inner corner to halfway blending it with the purple we have in the other half.                                       

                                      

                                     

 Now take a frosty white eye shadow and apply that to the brow bone! Make sure you blend it with the brown we applied earlier. 

Apply your favorite eyeliner, I make it thicker towards the outside just because I wanted to, so that can be your own personal preference! 

Now add some mascara and our look is complete!

For the rest of the face after applying foundation, I applied the Shimmer Waves in the color Bronze from the Body shop once again right below the cheekbone. If it helps suck in your cheeks to find the hollows of your cheeks. 

Next, I applied my MAC blush in Peachy keen to the apples of the cheek. 

For the lips I applied my Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in the color Blush. This has to be one of my all time favorites.

A big thanks to my beautiful best friend for helping me with this! 

I hope you guys liked it, like always, I would love to hear your thoughts about it, or any other comments and suggestions are always great! 

Also if you guys are looking for some awesome makeup brushes! I REALLY suggest trying out these SIGMA brushes! They really are worth the price you pay.
