"Bow N Arrow" Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick | Review

Kat Von D recently came out with 15 new colors for Fall of 2015! She came out with an array of colors from lilac to navy to black and everything in between. 

A while back, when I first discovered her line I was browsing the new and came across Bow N Arrow, and was disappointed that it wasn't available for purchase. Luckily it is now a permanent color in the collection! 

Bow N Arrow is described as a fawn nude. It is definitely a nude but with mauve undertones! I was scared it was going to wash me out, but it is beautiful! The formula is still the same, creamy formula, that dries to matte. I will say it is a bit more drying, but not overbearing. ...

 

Get To Know Me | Blog Tag

Although I'm fairly new to the blogging world and no one has tagged me, I have decided to do a "Get To Know Me" post! I'm always intrigued by other's responses or really I'm just nosey!

1. Do you have a middle name?
Yes, it is Damary. I used to despise it so much growing up and now I've embraced it 

2. What was your favorite subject in school?

English and Psychology! I love writing and psychology was just always interesting! (I'm actually working on getting a B.S. in Psychology.) 

3. What’s your favorite drink?

Water! Occasionally I'll have a passion tea lemonade from Starbucks! :)

4. Have you traveled outside of the country?

Yes, plenty of times. My parent's used to take me to El Salvador (where they are from) ALL the time. 

Haul | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015

Every year a lot of people anticipate the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's huge because a lot of designer's get marked down a bit and they are in season as well. I'm a Nordstrom cardholder, so I had early access before the public. I only picked up two items from the sale and a couple of skincare products that weren't part of the sale but I'll save that from another post ...

Fashion Friday | Dainty Jewlery

I'm a sucker for dainty jewelry! It always adds a bit of glitz to any outfit without being over the top. I used to never wear jewelry, just your regular studs on the ears. As I've grown older, I'm starting to appreciate minimal pieces to add to my jewelry collection. You don't have to spend loads on jewelry. I purchase most of my jewelry at Forever 21, but I've started to venture out to other brands like Kendra Scott, Etsy, and other boutiques. Kendra Scott has amazing pieces which don't break the bank. Etsy is a great place to find customizable pieces, like name chains. I also love some of the brands Nordstrom carries like Nadri, which is also inexpensive but beautiful!

Do you wear jewelry? Where do you purchase yours? Let me know in the comments down below!

Makeup Monday | ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick

The liquid lipstick crave is real! Everyone seems to be coming out with liquid lipsticks. So when Colourpop came out with their own version of liquid lipsticks, I knew I had to get my hands on them!
They came out with 25 shades ranging from a variety of colors from nudes, to browns, to purples! I purchased 3 of them in Trap, Bumble, and Tulle. The consistency is a bit runny, so you might have some drips here and there. The formula is MATTE, so you will want to moisturize before hand. I wore Bumble for 6 hours outside on a hot sunny day and it did not budge, and I was eating as well! They do seep into the lines of your lips, so a lip primer may help with that.

They are currently sold out but should be back in stock soon and only retail for $6! For $6 dollars, I think they are good to try out, although they are not the best liquid lipsticks but for the price you really cannot complain and they are very long lasting.

I Thread My Baby Hairs?!?

I have always had baby hairs ever since I can remember! They would either stick up all over the front when I would have my hair pulled back or they would just take over my whole forehead! Every hairstyle I tried didn't look right because I had soooooo many baby hair's on my hair line and it was annoying. I tried to cut them which probably made it worse. I tried to put hairspray and gel to move them to the side but NOTHING worked.

I used to get my eyebrows waxed, until I switched over to threading. My eyebrow lady stated that I should get my baby hair's threaded and it would cleanup my baby hairs... I was hesitant at first but she promised it was going to be okay! I will admit it does hurt quite a bit ...

Here are two pictures side by side. In my before you can clearly see my baby hair's completely taking over my forehead, and this is after! MAJOR DIFFERENCE! My forehead looks so much cleaner than before.
