Sandals for Fall?

Quick Favorite of the Summer for you guys!

Earlier in the summer I posted that I got a pair of Sam Edelman Gigi sandals and how excited I was, however after awhile I wasn't so excited.  I don't know.  The shoes weren't as comfortable as I thought it was going to be, my heels couldn't last that long, so I didn't wear them as much.

I did however pick up another pair of sandals.  It was a pair of brown Jessica Simpson sandals found at Marshalls.  Now this pair I found myself wearing it almost everywhere.  I found it more comfortable on my feet and with more support.  I definitely loved this buy.

Yes, its Fall season already and its boots season but since its practically summer here all year long, this pair will definitely be one I will still be wearing.  Need to go find me another back up pair.

Sam Edelman "Gigi" Haul

Quick haul post for the blog! Too many things been happening. New job, New baby, New everything!

Summer's here so I decided to get myself a new pair of sandals.  I've been eyeing Sam Edelman sandals for awhile now but I couldn't justify paying the prices for sandals.  Living here in Florida, sandals are our primary shoes that we were since its practically summer year round.  So sandals are a necessity in my book.

I finally found a Sam Edelman "GiGi" sandal that I've been wanting especially in black which seems to always be out of stock.  Super cute, but not as quite comfortable as I would like, but oh well as long as it works for me.

The best part was that I got it about 40% off retail at TJ Maxx which definitely made my day.  I've only seen Sam Edelman shoes maybe twice before so I know it doesn't pass through these stores often.  It was a "I better get it before its gone" moment for me! Happy haul for me!

 Time to Stroll the Beaches!

Surf Baby! Just in time for the Summer!

Who's ready to do some Surfing baby?

Already out online and at most MAC stores, this is one big makeup collection that MAC has put out.  

It has everything from shadows, lipsticks, glosses, powders, liptints, pigments, liners, polishes, you name it! 

The only thing missing is probably a Surf Board with the MAC logo on it (just kidding ;)

Some of the lovely products include:

Hangin Loose & Ocean Dipped Nail Laquers

Bust Out, Hibiscus, Mocha, Naturally Eccentric Lipsticks

Saffron, Short Shorts, Sun Blonde, Surf USA, Swell Baby Shadows

The rest of the products:

For Full Information on all the products do check out MAC Cosmetics online or go to your local MAC store/counter for assistance.  Also, after checking online last night, I did notice that some of the popular colors have been sold out or is restocked soon.  So that means, get them while you can before its gone!

What are you getting from this collection?

I'm just looking to spend my $$ on the eye shadows, lip tints, pigments, and 

maybe some of the powders, but who knows, I may just buy everything. LOL

Summer Nude - FOTD

Neutrals, nudes, bare faced, seems like the trend this season.  Many colors are being very minimal in color selection and are going for the natural bare faced look.  This is definitely a trend that I like and I think fits for most people.

Close ups of the eyes and cheeks:

Products used:

F: MUFE HD foundation, Sonia Kashuk concealer, MAC Instant Chic Blush, Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick Platinum Pink

E: Smashbox lid primer, MAC Sable & Shroom eyeshadow, Smashbox Eyelights palette. MAC brown liner, studio fix mascara, Essence brow powder

L: MAC 2n lipstick, Nars striptease lipgloss

For me, I think that subtlety is best when trying to do a natural look.  You don't want to do an over exaggerated look, nor a bland one.  I'm not sure if I was able to achieve the look, but I hope I did.  All I needed was just a slight sweep of color on the eye, nude lips, and light pink shimmer on the cheeks. Its always cool to add in color but natural/nude looks are versatile and  easy to do.  No stress!
