Review: Mac Viva Glam: Cyndi Lipglass

 

I recently just got the MAC Viva Glam Cyndi lipglass, and originally I really wanted to get the lipstick, but the nearest MAC counter is at Macy's and they are out. I realize that I am probably lucky to get the lipglass at this late and I was told by "Harlow" - the SA who helped me - that even the lipglass are discontinued, so they are just finishing up what they have.

In case you didn't know, the MAC Viva Glam line donates every cent they earn to the MAC Charity for HIV and AIDs Fund (or something like that) and I think this is really awesome! I love and respect companies that care about the world and donate a part of their earnings to those people in need. That being said, it made me want to buy something else in this line from the MAC counters (because buying from ebay won't help the cause), even though the Cyndi's not there anymore.

 

Anyway, I have been using these lipglass for a couple of days now and I have to say I really love this color very much. I would have liked for it to have a bit more product in the tube, but it doesn't matter.

 

The pigmentation is great and you can wear this alone without any other color underneath. The color is really very pretty, I would say a cross between a red, coral and pink. It looks much redder on the tube, but its very very wearable when applied on the lips. 

 

I am glad I was able to get my hands on these and I will probably go back and stock up on this.

Levi's Curve ID: Custom Fit Jeans

I've recently discovered Levi's new line of jeans which you can customize using their "Curve ID"

Basically, the Curve ID can be obtained by taking a very short quiz about your shape, bum, thighs and basic jean problems. After taking the quiz, Levi's is going to take your answers and give you a Curve ID which is customized to your need.

You can then shop their line of jeans using your Curve ID - which you can be assured will be addressing your exact fit needs and will address your annoying jean problems.

Obviously, you don't need to be curvy in order to take advantage of this feature, which is great because curvy ladies aren't the only ones with jean problems.

You can head on over to Levi's website if you're interested, or even just curious to know your Curve ID

My Curve ID is BOLD CURVE

What's your Curve ID?

5 Spring Fashion Ideas: Spring Jacket

I initially wanted to call this the "5 Spring Must-Haves" however, I realized that my must-have might not necessarily be someone else's must have. So I am just calling this 5 Spring Fashion Ideas.

The first of this series are the Spring Jackets. Year after year we anticipate the coming of spring - finally it's time to pack away the winter jackets and out come the spring jackets. This year, there are three new styles that I'm really liking for Spring that I haven't already got.

The Parka

I just love this look - very downtown chic and very carefree. It's definitely on the casual side, so I wouldn't expect to wear these for a date or a night time event - more like for a trip to the mall or movies or maybe a leisure walk in the park.

UO, ASOS, LULUs

The Updated Trench

A little bit of update on the classic trench can do so much. I love the more feminine feel of these trenches and these you can pair with more dressy outfits as well.

MODCLOTH, ASOS, MODCLOTH

The Cape / Poncho

Now this is something more bold and fashionable, and maybe a bit trendy as well. Definitely not something I would wear on a cold rainy day. But I'm liking the simplicity of this style and it's just an easy throw on kind of piece. You can tell this is a really lazy comfortable style, but really it would pose the opposite effect. The poncho and really pump up an otherwise really boring outfit because of its form and design.

ASOS, FOREVER21, UO

What's your favorite spring jacket style?

Outfit Du Jour: Blame It On The Weatherman

According to the weather forecast for today, temperature will be in the high 40s to 50s, but will feel like mid 40s...

What I have come to realize is not to trust the weatherman. Time and time again, I have been let down by these so-called "accurate" forecasts. It felt nothing like 40s today, it feels like damn 30s!

Needless to say, I was freezing my ass... or should I say "legs" off! I need to get me one of those thermometer that reads inside and outside temperature.

Sole Society by Hautelook: For Shoe Lovers

 

I just received an email from Hautelook introducing me to their new "division" called Sole Society. Unlike Hautelook, this site will be focusing on shoes... shoe site for shoe lovers.

When you first sign up, you will be answering a few questions to determine what type of style you have. Then they will customize the designer shoes they feature for you, so it's in line with your own personal style. 

Oh, most importantly, nothing over $49.95 plus free shipping! 

It's a month to month thing, so they choose a bunch of styles for you for that entire month, if you like nothing, then you can skip that month, basically you are not required to buy - which is awesome in my books. 

So, apparently, based on my answers on the style quiz, my style is "Feminine, Bohemian, Trendy"... hmm... bohemian?

If you want to check it out, here's MY invite link, if you don't mind: http://www.solesociety.com/

If you do, then just head over to www.solesociety.com I'm excited to see my customized picks. =)

Outfit Du Jour: Lazy Mondays

From lazy Sundays to lazy Mondays. Don't you just hate Mondays?! I know I do! I know this outfit isn't as blog worthy as others' but I guess I just want to show how waking up late on Mondays without any outfit plans can result to.

TIP: How to keep fashion jewelry from tarnishing

I just thought I'd share a little trick I learned from my mom...

We all buy jewelry from places like Forever21 or H&M, and although the jewelries are very cheap and affordable, once it tarnishes, you can't replace it anymore... especially with fast fashion stores - once its gone, its gone.

Sometimes, I would buy something from F21 and would really love it, so I'd like to keep on using them for longer. Hope this tip will work for you and hope this helps. 

Let me know what you guys think.

Outfit Du Jour: Back to Coldsville

Just when you thought it was almost spring time, the cold comes creeping back in. Regardless, I really wanted to wear the new top that I got from Marshalls... its a really nice sweater with lace inserts on the shoulder area, as well as back. I thought this was really pretty and romantic looking and this will definitely get a ton of wear from me.

Sorry for the picture quality and lighting... I'm taking photos through the reflection of my full length mirror. I don't know how else to do it! I have to do it quick in the morning and rush out to work... ☺

Top: Marshalls. Jeggings: from work. Boots: from work. Necklace: Brooklyn flea market.

Here's me with my hair up.

Toodles!
