FASHION FRENZY FRIDAY: Tumblr Inspired Fashion

hello all :)
I have not done a #FFF in a while! I am back full force in blogging now! So I have been really inspired by demin, shoes and jeffrey campbell lately. So that is pretty much all thanks to tumblr. (http://ladygagaobsessed.tumblr.com) These trends are not only showing up in the internet, but also almost everywhere. sorry this is just a quick post, but I hope it satisfies your fashion fix for now :)

Makeup Monday: Long Wearing Lipsticks

Long wearing lipsticks can be a life changer for the better or worse. And I have tried both types. When I worked in fast food, i would never have the chance to touch up my lipstick, so I usually would just wear chapstick. But then I discovered that long wear lip products can actually be true to what they say they do! Over the past two years, I have tried them all! Cheap and expensive ones. Here's what I have found to be the best:

L'oreal Infalliable Lipcolor in Thistle

• this specific colour is one I can wear anywhere, it basically is an enhancement of my natural lip colour
• retails at about 11$
• there are tons of shades to choose from
• it lasts about 9-10 hours
• it can survive eating, drinking out of a cup/straw/bottle
• can survive through long hours of talking
• a tip to keep it on longer is to apply the conditioning balm at least every hour
• after about 5 hours, you can feel it chaping on the inside of your lips, this is when you could either reapply it, or leave it, either way it will still last for another 4-5 hours

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Prolong (clever name huh?)

• this colour is the perfect red
• it dries really quickly though, so if you mess up, it's hard to fix (as seen in this photo)
• it doesn't dry out your lips
• it stays put through eating and drinking anything
• doesn't crust or chap in the middle
• retails at 20$
• one of my favourite lip products ever

Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Color in Continuous Coral 

• I love this shade for spring!!
• it withstands eating fine
• there is a bit of wearing when you drink out of a bottle (in my case a Pepsi bottle, and it started to flake around 4hrs)
• DO NOT WEAR THIS FOR 24 HOURS!! (well never wear any makeup for 24 hours, ew, just ew)
• retails at about 8$
• a tip to keep it on longer is to moisturize your lips prior so the product clings to it better
• it is easy to fix any mistakes if you mess up

Also, before I put these on, I like to use a lip scrub. They can be a pain to get off as well, so using one when you want to take it off is strongly suggested too. 

I like this one from Bath and Body Works. It's only like 7$, and it smells and tastes like candy! It works wonders on my lips!

Fashion Frenzy Friday #2

Hello :)

So here are some trends for spring I am in love with! Even though where I live, snowed all day today :( and I just bought new sandals! What a disappointment... oh well.

I love love love bright colored shoes! Especially the ones from Aldo, they are a reasonable price too! I am too tall for heels though... And I also love shoes that have peek a boos holes in it, they are so cute and girly. Gladiators have been a really big summer trend for the past three+ seasons, and are still going strong! They are great for anyone's style.

Second would have to be big floppy hats! I feel like hats are an accessory that isn't really used that often, but when it is, it is awesome! They have a vintage feel to them, which makes them even more trendy!

Next, is cat eye sunglasses. Not much to say about these because they speak for themselves! Vintage, trendy, perfect for everyday.

Last, is big beach bags. Now me being me, I really dislike beaches, so having a beach bag and using it for the beach is not practical. But I feel that more and more people are using bigger tote-like bags for everyday. Like using it instead of a backpack and a purse. It's cute and huge! and excellent for the summer because of the general look and history of them.

I hope you enjoyed, and see you Monday :)
