Hey lover! There are days when I wake up for work and feel as though I have not slept enough hours (sigh). When this happens, I want to wear something very cozy and that is exactly what this outfit is. The shirt is made of very soft cotton and the pants feel almost like pajamas. When I used to volunteer as a teacher’s aide for summer school and work with adorable Kindergarteners, this would have been perfect to run after them.

Half way through the week friends, I hope you’re having a productive and happy week! Always remember to take a break to focus on yourself and regroup, it makes a huge difference. 🙂

Pop of Purple Eye Tutorial

May 12, 2015 6 Comments

Hi lover! Do you ever remember your dreams? I am an extremely vivid dreamer, with hopes of one day becoming a lucid dreamer, where you have full control over your dreams. Some nights the dreams feel so real that it’s hard to forget about it the next day. Last night I dreamt that this influx of people came into my office unexpectedly and claimed they had part ownership of it. I frantically called my boss and she said they were right (why did she not inform me of this?). LOL, I know, so random but I’d love to know about your dreams!

Oh this makeup tutorial has a funny back story. A close family friend of ours now works for Lancôme and she invited me for a makeover event they had last weekend. Although I love doing my own makeup, I thought sure, why not have someone else do it for me. Well, the makeup artist was the sweetest young woman, wearing very beautiful makeup. However the final product on myself was FAR from pretty. I did tell her I loved it because I could not bring myself to tell her how I really felt. But that’s the fun part of makeup, it washes right off! Anyway right after that adventure, I came up with this makeup look.

I primed my eyelids with MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre and Nars Pro Eyeshadow Primer. In the crease I used a mix of Mauve and Taupe from the Lorac Pro Palette (original version). From the inner corner to the center of the lid I applied Pewter (Lorac Pro Palette) with a flat shader brush. For the bright pop of purple I used Caitlin Rose foiled eyeshadow from Makeup Geek and I applied it with my finger. Isn’t the pigmentation amazing?! To darken the very outer corner I lightly applied Deep Purple (Lorac Pro Palette). For eye liner I used Kat Von D’s tattoo liner in the shade Trooper. On my lips I am wearing Misty Rose from Lancôme, which was my favorite product of the makeup done at the event.

I hope you have a wonderful day lovers!

Denim Skirts

Hi there lover! Although it was yesterday, I want to wish all mothers a very Happy Mothers Day {Feliz Dia de la Madre a todas las bellas mamas}. I was lucky enough to spend the whole day with my mom and we definitely enjoyed it. The rest of my weekend was low key and mostly spent at home, which is pretty great in my opinion!

As for this outfit… denim skirts are making a comeback! From middle school until early high school, I was all about the mini jean skirts. I loved wearing them all the time! At some point, they fell out of style and I stopped wearing them. A few weeks ago I was shopping at Forever 21 and spotted this pencil style denim skirt. I decided to buy it and I love it now. You will see it again on the blog styled differently but this outfit is one of my favorite ways to wear it.

I hope you have a fabulous and uplifting day! Thank you for stopping by.

Royal Pants

Hi there lover! It’s crazy the way life has a way of working itself out. This outfit post was photographed back in February, but when I was preparing to post it, I didn’t like it anymore. I’m not sure what my reasoning was, but this week I rediscovered the draft and thought this outfit is great! Ironically enough, I wasn’t able to take pictures for today’s post so luckily I had these.

I have no idea what the print on these pants are called. They remind me of all the luxury prints you would find in the home of a King and Queen. Is it only me? 😉 Either way I love how much of a statement they are, perfect to pair with all neutrals.

I hope you have an amazing weekend and enjoy it to the fullest with your loved ones! Thank you for stopping by.

ColourPop Haul

May 7, 2015 2 Comments

Hi lover! Today I wanted to share with you a mini haul that I just purchased from ColourPop. They are a cosmetics brand based in Los Angeles, California (available online only) and their motto is “having luxury formulas at affordable prices”. This is what instantly drew me in since all their lip products and single eye shadows are $5 each. They also carry blushes and highlighters for $8 each.

Pictured above from left to right are: Wifey Lippie Stix (satin finish), Tootsie Lippie Stix (matte finish), Fern Lippie Stix (cream finish), I Heart This shadow (cool toned silvery taupe with multi-coloured glitter), Cake Lippie Stix (satin finish), and Lumiere Lippie Stix (matte finish). Their Lippie Stix (lipsticks) have a variety of finishes from matte, satin, cream and hyper-glossy.

I am not sure which Lippie Stix finish is my favorite yet, but whenever I decide, I will let you know. Also the eye shadow is extremely pigmented, in the best possible way! I’ve found it’s best to apply it with my finger, rather than using a brush. My favorite part of this haul was the personalized note they included which reads: “Dear Jessica – You’re just like bacon – you make everything better.” How sweet is that? I loved it!!

What makeup brand have you been loving? Thank you for stopping by!
