Pearls & Curls

The collection consists of four colors, which are all in the color scheme of pinks and reds.

If You Moust You Moust is one of those true Barbie pink colors. It’s not too dark and it’s not too light. It’s right in the middle. Surprisingly I don’t have a color like this in my collection since I decided to pass up Pink Friday that came out in the Nicki Minaj Collection, so I might have to pick this one up.

I'm All Ears is a hot pink jelly color with sparkles. From the swatches I have looked at, the color looks absolutely gorgeous, but I’m not sure if I’m a fan of jellies. I know I don’t have anything in my collection like this either, so I might end up giving this a try.

The Color of Minnie is a pinky-red, which I also like a lot. This one reminds me the most of Minnie, not just because of the name, but the color looks like the color of Minnie’s dress.

Lastly is Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It. This is a light pink glittery topcoat that contains hearts in it. With me, glitter polishes can go either way. Sometimes I love them, other times I hate them. I love the look this one gives on top of the other colors in the collection, but the hassle I know it will take for it to come off bothers me. 

I hate to say that I love the whole collection, but I really do. As far as the color that I think is the most unique, I think I’m All Ears is the one that takes the cake!

Do you love Minnie Mouse? Are you going to buy any from the collection? And if so, which one?

My 7 Facts

1. I am absolutely obsessed with Aubrey Drake Graham. He is the love of my life and I WILL marry him. He just doesn’t know that yet. :)

2. The best decision I have made in college (besides academic choices) is pledging my sorority, Chi Beta Delta, back in spring 2010 as a freshman. My sisters have literally made college meaningful for me and they have been there for me through extremely rough times. I have become such a different and better person and it’s because of XBΔ.

3. I am an only child.

4. One of my idols is Lauren Conrad. I have loved her since Laguna Beach. She has come into her own and to me she is the epitome of classy. Her fashion is impeccable and her drive is inspiring. I hope to be successful like her one day.

5. I would love to do public relations for a beauty brand that I love. Combining my two passions into a dream job would be amazing. I would also love to do public relations for Drake, but I don’t know how realistic that is! If either of those things wouldn’t work out, I would love to be an event planner.

6. I want to marry a good southern boy.

7. I am living out my dreams of attending The University of Texas at Austin. I love my school so much and I am so blessed to be here! HOOK ‘EM! \m/

I’m not looking to get anything over the top like a handbag, but on my shopping wishlist I would really love to get some Tory Burch black flats or a Tory Burch wallet. I know both items are a really big splurge, but I wouldn’t mind treating myself soon for my birthday for either one of them if I save my money.

I justify buying either one of them because, hello, who doesn’t need a good pair of black flats? I know I have gone through a couple of pairs and the pair that I currently have are literally falling apart at the soles. I have never been a big shoe person and it shows in the lack of quality in most of the shoes that I own. With the Tory Burch flats I know that they will be good quality and they’re something that I can always use. I can dress them up with a nice going-out dress, or I can dress it down by wearing a top and some shorts.

As for the wallet I know its something that I will literally use everyday. Like shoes, I have been through numerous wallets and It would be nice to have a nice quality wallet to put my essentials in and be sturdy enough to use daily.

I’m still torn as to which one I would actually buy, so hopefully with time I can decide which one I will hopefully be able to spend the big bucks on.

Are you a fan of Tory Burch? Which item would you choose to buy?

About a year ago while watching Youtube videos, like I always do, I stumbled upon a product review on Hairfinity. When watching the review I was amazed at the girl’s results and I became obsessed. I continued watching more and more product reviews on the product, and I eventually begged my mom to order the vitamins.

I’ll admit I can be somewhat of a product junkie. Once I watch Youtube and see a product that I want to try, I will sometimes buy on impulse. This is one product that I have bought because of Youtube and I have NO regrets whatsoever. I can honestly say it is the best thing I have found because of Youtube.

Reasons why I love it:

I have been taking this vitamin off and on for about a year now and I can see that it has done tremendous things for my hair. The only con that I have about this product is that I can get quite expensive. At $27 for a bottle, I try to buy 2 at a time as well as use a 10% off promotional code to make it more affordable.

If you’re like me and are trying to grow your hair out from a regretful short haircut or whatever your case may be, I would seriously look into these vitamins here.

If you have any questions specifically about this product, shoot me a comment and I will be more than happy to help.

Have you heard of Hairfinity before?

My love for the corals and peaches this spring has grown out of control lately. I don’t know what it is about those colors, but they make me feel so pretty whenever I have them on. With the spring season at its rising peak, these colors look so fresh and I feel they can compliment any girl's skin tone.

I am in love with coral and peach dresses. My obsession with the colors came into full-blown swing when I saw 2 of my sorority sisters rock their peach dresses at meeting one night. Once I saw them I knew I needed this color in my spring wardrobe.

My favorite peach/coral piece that I now have in my closet is a dress that I picked up at Forever 21 for $15.80. This dress is so girly with its gorgeous ruffles on the collar. A nice dress to wear at meeting, on a date or to a nice dinner at that price is truly a steal. I loved pairing with my nude heels and my jeweled peach oval earrings both bought at Forever 21.

I’m looking forward to picking up more pieces in these two fabulous colors very soon.

Love and desserts,

The Impeccable Pig is a local boutique that has a few stores spread across Texas. Even though I am pretty close to one here in Austin, I find myself always shopping online on their website instead because I feel like they have better deals.

Although I LOVE this store, you wont catch me ever paying the original price of their clothing. Their store can be extremely expensive, but what I love to do is shop their sale section. Prices drop extremely low to match my college budget and during certain occasions their sale items can drop all the way to 10 bucks!

I have been able to buy dresses and tops there for dirt-cheap opposed to their original prices. What I have learned from past experiences is to try to never buy something for the full price. At The Impeccable Pig I find the gorgeous and unique clothing for a price I am willing to pay, when it is on sale of course.

Their clothing is so fresh and whenever I wear a piece from them, I always feel like a million dollars. One dress I am currently waiting to go on sale is the Lovely in Lacy dress. I am currently obsessed with everything lace, and this dress is perfect with the pairing of the light blue color and detailed accent of cream lace.

Another item I want to buy is a shrug currently on sale for $15. I feel like the girl in the picture wearing it pulls it off perfectly, and I would love to create this look using pieces that I already have. 

Top Notes

Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit 

Middle Notes

Litchi, Rose, Italian Jasmine
Base Notes

Indonesian Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver, Bourbon Vanilla, White Musk

I don’t know what half of these notes smell like on their own, but the combined smell altogether is delicious! It is a stronger scent and I would consider more elderly. I think it’s the perfect perfume to wear during the evening. Every time I go downtown I love to spray some on my pulse points. One thing that I love about this perfume is that it literally lasts on me the whole night. It’s amazing!

Like I said before I’m not the greatest at describing scents, but I feel this is a scent that is too unique to describe regardless. What I do know is that everyone may not like this scent like I mentioned before, so I would suggest trying it out at a Chanel counter. All I can say is that I love this perfume. It is easily one of my favorites.

I’m on my last few sprits in the bottle and since I know the price for this perfume ranges and can get really expensive, I’ll probably ask for it for my birthday!

This perfume for me is literally the epitome of classiness!

As Coco Chanel put it, "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

Have you every smelled Coco Mademoiselle? What’s your favorite perfume? 

When I first saw the brand go on sale on Hautelook, I immediately bought. I have made two orders from Hautelook in order to build up my eye shadow collection, and have collected 4 eye shadows from R&R. 

I have to say I love them. I am not a huge MAC eye shadow collector. (I only have two of them, Shale and Woodwinked.) With that being said I do think MAC eye shadows are awesome from the ones that I have, but I feel R&R shadows are just as good.

You all know I’m a fan of packaging and I love R&R’s packaging and logo. It looks so sheik and it also comes with a decent sized mirror. But besides the really cute packaging it comes with more product than MAC eyeshadows, which give you more bang for your buck if you’re shopping for them on Hautelook.

The four colors that I do have are listed below:

Fuel: a pretty yellow-gold shimmer

Ammo: a bronzed-brown shimmer

Envy: a deep neutral green shimmer

Privilege: a pinky color with gold shimmer

The product itself is extremely pigmented and the colors that I do have go on the eyelid smoothly. They last on me all day with a good eyeshadow primer, so I have no complaints! Two thumbs up for R&R!

If you have not signed up for Hautelook, I highly encourage you to do so! If you are a big makeup lover like myself they have many great deals for you to take advantage of. Brands like Urban Decay, Stila and of course Rock and Republic go on sale for such amazing prices.

Do you have a Hautelook account? Would you try R&R eye shadows?

Love and desserts,
