My Favorite Eyeshadow Palettes For Spring

Hello everyone!!  Lately, I have been gravitating towards the same eyeshadow colors. I have a ridiculous collection of makeup but  I have been using the same five palettes almost everyday.  They are mainly neutrals because it's work appropriate.  I hope you like...

 The first one below is the "Kat Von D" True Romance Eyeshadow Palette. This palette in only sold at Sephora.  Kat Von D palettes are really smooth and pigmented. 


Swatches for the above "Kat Von D" palette.

 This next palette is the "Too Faced" Naked Eye Palette.  I love this palette because it comes with cute cards that explain how to apply eyeshadow looks.  The eye shadows are really wearable for everyday and look amazing on every skin tone. 


 The palette below is the "Tempting" quad by MAC cosmetics. This quad was from the Cult of Cherry collection.(I mentioned this in my last post.  This is the eye makeup I was using.)  It's kind of pointless to show this one, because I don't think they sell it anymore, but you can probably find some close enough dupes.  I am obsessed with the colors in this quad. 

The following palette below is awesome! It's the "Urban Decay" Naked palette.  You do not know how hard it was for me to get my hands on this palette.  It is always sold out and always high in demand.  You can do so many eye shadow looks with this one palette.  Smokey eyes, neutral eyes, sunkissed glowing eyes, EVERYTHING and ANYTHING can be created with this one palette. 



If you had to only buy one palette, I'd say def buy this one!!!



And lastly, but certainly not the least, my new obsession, INGLOT cosmetics. I never in a million years thought I would like a makeup line more then MAC but I think I have found one.   Inglot is a company from Poland and the way their products just go on the skin is amazing.  There are about 5 locations right now throughout the US and lucky for me there is one right in my area!!! I think there are lots of locations in Europe.  I am in love with the pigmentation and overall color payoff of these eye shadows.  The only thing about this line that is a little blah is that they don't name their products with catchy names.  They name them with numbers. So it's a little harder to remember what colors are your favorite. 




Overall, these five palettes are my favorite right now for Spring.  With my growing collection, I might change my mind in a few months. LOL

Tribal & Leather
















Today was a cloudy and chilly Saturday.  I am loving the tribal print clothing trend. I wore this tribal shirt with a pair of black skinny jeans and paired it with my leather jacket. Once in a while, I wear black from head to toe.  Today was one of those days.  This allows me to throw in a pop of color with jewelry or eye makeup.  The fact that you are in all black gives you some slack into wearing a few risky colors in other ways.

I experimented with my "Tempting Quad" from MAC, on my eyes.  This is an old quad from the "Cult of Cherry" collection, but it's one of my favorites. I am indeed obsessed with makeup.  Maybe one day I will gather some courage within me and make some makeup tutorials on YOUTUBE.  We'll see...LOL


What I am wearing:
Black jeans- Forever 21
Tribal shirt- Forever 21
Leather jacket- Forever 21

Let me know what you think...goodnight! xoxo

Messy Hair & Some Boyfriend Pants

Hi All...
This is a simple outfit for a Friday afternoon in the Spring.  I was so tired and didn't feel like doing my hair today.  That explains my messy bun.  I am loving boyfriend pants and/or jeans.  It's such a cute trend when your not in the mood for skin tight pants.  I like wearing boyfriend pants to work because they're loose and make me feel comfortable. Hope you like....








shirt- American Eagle
pants- Forever 21
denim jacket- Marciano Guess
shoes- Calvin Klein
Bracelet- Purchased in the Bahamas
Ring- Purchased in Puerto Rico

Don't Step On My Heels...


For the past month I have been obsessed with shoe shopping.  I needed some new pumps for Spring/Summer and I want to show you what I have purchased.  The first pair of shoes (shown above) are a platform peep toe made by Jessica Simpson.  I got these for only $40 at TJ Maxx! I fell in love as soon as I tried them on being that they are pretty comfy because you don't really feel how high the heel is because of the front platform.  I am loving animal print.  I can def see me wearing these and putting on some red lipstick...(letting my inner "Peggy Bundy" from Married With Children come out) LOL!!

The next pair below are my favorite.  They are a Vince Camuto platform peep toe.  I purchased these pair of suede shoes at Macy's.   I love the nude color of this heel because it will elongate my legs.  The gold studs on the back of the shoe just make it so tough and hard core.  I want to wear these to a wedding I am going to in June, but haven't found a dress to match yet. 





The shoes below have to be one of the most comfortable platform pumps I've ever worn.  They are Calvin Klein and what caught my eye was the gorgeous fish scale design of these shoes.  They are so different.  I have gotten so many compliments every time I wear them.  I loved them so much in black, that I went back to Macy's and purchased them in grey with tan bottom.  I just can't get enough of the fish design and love how they look when you put them on.  They look so good with skinny jeans, dresses, skirts, etc.  You can basically pair these four pairs of shoes with almost anything.   I hope you like. :) xoxoxo
