Makeup Monday Ft.Ruby Kisses Forever Matte

July 31, 2017 · 1 Comment

Hey Ladies, Happy Monday I decided to start writing a new segment on my blog called “Makeup Monday” I know you’re probably wondering what is that? Well let me tell you…Makeup Monday will be me introducing makeup brands that I have added to my ever growing makeup collection. I’m all for finding a good brand of makeup that is affordable and gives me the most wear for my money. Now I’m usually a lover of drug store makeup, but I’ll splurge on a good high end product sometimes depending on what it is. So with all that being said lets get into a brand I have loved FOREVER and want to tell you about.

These are the colors available at the local BSS

While I was browsing in my local Beauty Supply Store (BSS) I noticed some new lipsticks that have been quiet the talk on Youtube. It’s the new Ruby Kisses Forever Matte lipsticks that retail for $1.99 at select BSS and online retailers. The first thing that came to mind about the packaging was how it looks the Kylie Jenner Lip kits ( which I refuse to support, I’m sorry I can’t stand her ). Since the Forever Matte Lipsticks are so cheap you would be crazy not to rack up. I have always been a huge fan of the Ruby Kisses makeup line and how pigmented and affordable the products are. The Forever Matte line is available in 17 colors ranging from mauve pink to electric blue. What I like most about the lipsticks is that the colors are WOC (Women Of Color) friendly. I purchased about 10 colors from the line and love every single one. The lipstick pay off is really good and non drying. I love the fact my lips felt moisturized all day. I wore mine for almost 6 hrs and, only had to reapply twice between eating and drinking during the day.

Look how bright these swatches are on my skin

I’m currently wearing Tippy Toe which is my fav

If you’re in the market for a brand that’s affordable and long lasting, I say give the Ruby Kisses Forever True Matte a try. Thanks for stopping by and happy shopping!!!!

90’s Fashion Is Making A Come Back

July 27, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Sooo the 90’s is seriously making a come back in the fashion world and I’m loving every minute of it. Everything I recall wearing as kid is appearing in all the stores and its brings back so many memories. As a kid growing up in the 90s everyone was so carefree and full of life, not to mention we had the best TV shows and snacks to-date. Boy do I wish I could go back to being a kid again “adulating” is hard ( I really get it now why Peter Pan loved Never Never Land). Thanks to Forever 21 they give me a chance to embrace that inner child in me with the new styles they have been offering.

I was in Forever 21 the other day and came upon the cutest Crushed Velvet Dress in blush pink. Now listen, I’m in no way a fan of pink like that because pink is just not a color I fancy…but this dress screamed Spice Girls! Who didn’t like the Spice girls as a kid!? Baby Spice, Emma Bunton, always would wear cute little dresses with the those funky platform sneakers. This dress screamed 90’s and made me think of so many ways to style it. I can wear a white tee under it like they use to back in the day or “as-is” the way I did over the weekend. The dress is super comfy and was great for the summer heat to take on my weekend errands. I paired it with a cute pair of faux leather pink skippes and added my Pink Clear Satchel Bag for a Pink monochrom finish. Now me dressed in all pink was a rare occasion and barely ever happens but I felt like such a 90s kid rocking the look.

Dress : Forever 21

Shoes: Wet Seal ( There old never wore them)

Bag: Forever 21

So if your looking for a store that lets you indulge in your inner youth, I say check out Forever 21 because they have you covered with everything from rock band tees, cute 90s sunglasses and all the crushed velvet looks you can think of. Is there anything you ladies wish would make a comeback into the fashion scene from the 90s let me know. As always thanks for stopping by and Owl see you later.

Love,

Vana

The Perfect Summer Wedding Dress

June 20, 2017 · 1 Comment

It’s June which means we are at the start of Wedding Season…. It’s that time of year guys and gals are trying to figure out what the heck they’re going to wear to the big event. Nobody wants to outshine the bride and groom on the big day but you also want to make sure you’re dressed up to par for the occasion. Don’t worry ladies I have you all covered. I came upon a great site called GCGME that offers an array of different dress styles and jumpsuits for any occasion that may come your way. I know for me when it comes to weddings, I like to make sure I get something comfy and loose fitting that allows me to move and not be so hot due to the summer heat.

This year I have no weddings to attend sadly but if I did, the Ava Cap sleeve maxi dress from GCGME would be the perfect look to wear to a summer wedding. Not only is the pattern really nice and different its very comfy and lightweight. Nobody likes spending a fortune on an outfit they will wear one time, at least I know I don’t. I rather spend my coins on something I can get multiple uses thats why a key question I always ask myself when shopping is “How can I use this again?”. With GCGME being so affordable they for sure have tons of options I know I can use over again in the future. I’ll be able to wear my maxi dress on my next tropical vacation out the country or a summer date night with the boo. I love how the light pinks and purples in the dress gives it a nice feminine touch and all flow together for an elegant feel. Since this is a wrap dress you have the choice to really play around with how much leg and cleavage you want to showcase. You can either show a little leg for a more low key look or show a lot ( ladies if its a wedding I say show a little, and save the extra thigh meat for date night ).

Dress: GCGME (size XL)

So next time you find yourself in a dilemma looking for an outfit keep GCGME in mind. The wide range in sizes and selections is what makes shopping for the right outfit so easy. Not to mention the shipping is super fast which really helps if you’re a last minute girl when it comes to shopping for any ocassions. So what do you all think of my choice of dress for attending a summer wedding. I know many people have certain taboos on the do’s and don’ts of wedding attire ….Do any of you all have certain superstitions you heard of let me know? In the meantime thanks for stopping by and as always Owl see yah soon on the next post!!

Spring Florals

June 7, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Where is summer? (Crying Emoji) Well technically it’s still springtime but even that has barely shown its face around my city lately. I’m so ready for the warmer weather filled with summer fashion sundresses,flip-flops and swimwear.

Therefore with the weather not being the greatest it has kind of put a damper on my mood. I haven’t exactly put much effort into getting dressed lately. So to offset my blah mood, I decided to add some color to my pretty basic wardrobe. Now I’m not usually one for lots of color but since it is spring why not right ? floral print is really trendy this season so I figured I partake and purchase a few floral items. While surfing the interweb, a cute floral scuba skirt spoke to me the moment I laid eyes upon it on the CurvySense website. CurvySense is an online fashion retailer that caters to women size 0x-4x. I love how that they offer clothing for any occasion such as swimwear for a day at the beach or a LBD (Little Black Dress) for girls night. No matter what your needs are it seems like CurvySense always has you covered.

Lets get into the outfit details. I decided to wear a simple plain white crop top to make sure my skirt was the main focus. The skirt was a perfect match for my body type being A-line cut. I love how the A-line style makes my legs appear longer, and cinches at my waist. I put on some cute little pink Mary Jane heels to really make the colors pop. After getting dressed and putting on such a fun vibrant outfit it really did lift my spirits.

I can’t wait to see what other ways I can style my floral skirt for the up coming months. I just hope some warmer weather is coming soon. Is anyone else having a pretty chilly spring? Also what do you all think of the floral trend is it drab or fab? let me know in the comments below. As always thanks for stopping by and Owl see ya Later.
