My favorite "go to" outfit

CLASSIC!
I love love love a classic outfit & nothing screams out classic more than a striped top! My favorite contrast color with stripes (black & white) is definitely red. I'm not a fan of red shoes because I personally think they look cheap on 95% of the population, so I tend to go for a bold red lip & matching red nail-polish. It just looks effortless and classier. Add a bold structured bag with nude flats and you're good to go. Definitely my go to outfit that never fails, you can practically wear it anywhere! Absolutely love!

Maybelline vs. Mac

Gel liner
For me, eyeliner is a necessity. But the real question is Maybelline or Mac? Sure, the Mac's gel liner is a great product, BUT it appears grey & it doesn't last all day. That's when I started to do some research and came across Maybelline's eye studio gel eyeliner and fell in love! Truly, madly, deeply. Not only does the Maybelline gel eyeliner last all day, it also comes with a brush and that too for less than $10, can you say steal?! 
I'm more of an all liquid eyeliner type of girl, but for something to wear everyday, gel is the way to go. Here you can see the difference between the two eyeliners (Mac on the left, Maybelline on the right). I think it's safe to say that Maybelline wins. It is much darker and has a much smoother texture/finish. The best thing about Mac's? The container & the fact that it's Mac, other than that, nothing. Personally, I prefer Maybelline's eyeliner. Mac's not so much. 


Packaging & comparison. Mac definitely wins in the Marketing department!

Nail color of the week!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've just been super busy with life, okay maybe not so much since i've literally been sleeping in and watching tv & movies until 3 in the morning (all while stuffing my face with junk food) for the past week - gotta love spring break, but now back to routine (hopefully wink wink)! Anyways, I've wanted to do a nail color of the week blogpost since I have tons & tons of nail-polishes and I find myself changing my nail color on a daily basis (maybe I should just do a nail of the day blogpost, hmmm? lol). On my nails this week is Sparrow Me The Drama by OPI.
This is suchhhh a pretty color, I absolutely love it because it's a very subtle yet girly pink. I usually stick to darker shades like blacks, reds and browns, but this color has definitely made it's way into my top 5 favorite nail-polishes of all time (blogpost on that coming soon!). I tried to find as much natural light as possible to show off the natural color of the nail-polish, but I think I may have captured too much light, oops!
  
Please don't mind my cuticles and the skin around them, I forgot to apply cuticle oil so my skin may appear a bit dry. Hope you guys like this color as much I do. Enjoy
