MAC Fashion Sets And Extra Dimension Haul and Swatches

This is a post that is a bit overdue. MAC came out with the Fashion Sets and Extra Dimension collections a couple of weeks ago. I only got a couple of items. I have been wanting the "Heroine" lipstick for a really long time but it was sold out EVERYWHERE. Luckily, Rai at Glam-Morena had an extra that she sent to me. I also got the "Ablaze" lipglass, I feel like I have waaaaay too many orange and coral lipsticks.

I got a Skinfinish from the Extra Dimension collection which was "Double Definition". It is a beautiful bronze-gold duo. I have a worn it a few times and I love how it looks on my skin tone.

I also got two items that are permanent: a MAC Paint Pot in "Soft Ochre" and an eye shadow in the shade "Steamy". I love "Steamy", I had a couple of years back and it broke beyond saving. So I repurchased it. it really is a beautiful color and great for the Summertime!

OOTDs and Romeo Santos Concert in Atlantic City

My favorite artist (and ultimate celebrity crush) was having a concert in Atlantic City and I just HAD to go. I trekked 2.5 hours from NYC to see him perform. I decided to just stay overnight to experience Atlantic City a bit since I have never been there.

I didn't gamble much, I'm not a big fan of it. Like Carrie Bradshaw said "I like my money where I can see it.. in my closet).

EOTD: Bright Yellow Eye Look

A few weeks ago, I took advantage of a credit I received from Beautylish and bought two eye shadows from Sugarpill Cosmetics. I was very pleased from the service from Beautylish. My order shipped SUPER fast and I got it in two days! It is a great place to buy from.

One of the eye shadows I purchased was "Buttercupcake" which is a bright yellow. I love the color, it is so cheerful! I did a dramatic look using this color. I will be doing a more everyday look and posting it. I can see myself reaching for this shadow a lot for the Spring/Summer. I'm definitely trying to wear more colorful eye shadows.

Prom Trends For 2013

I had a request to do a feature on prom fashion. I had never done a prom post before and this sure left me feeling nostalgic. My own prom dress was by Jovani and it was a canary yellow. I loved it and felt like a princess that day.

my HS prom (I'm second from the left-duh.)

I remembered wanting soft, voluminous curls for my prom. Instead I was stuck with frizzy, tight curls. But I digress. I have put together some prom looks that will sure to dazzle everyone in your senior class.

Emerald green is the color of the year for 2013 so why not choose it as the color for your prom dress. I love Grecian-inspired gowns and this one is gorgeous. This color is universally flattering and it's elegant and flowy with just the right amount of glam. I personally think it would look much better with an up-do instead of wearing the hair down.

Remember that movie "10 Things I Hate About You" where Bianca Strafford had that ultra-cool 2 piece tutu and top? I thought that was one of the greatest prom looks ever. This Sherri Hill dress is a more modern take with a shorter skirt and a fresh coral color. Coral is a big color this year. This would look best with simple delicate sandals.

This is one from the 2013 Jovani Prom Collection which features a lot of sheer detailing this year. This delicate gold color is very pretty and the sheer detailing is very tasteful and elegant. I think it's important to not show too much skin and be outrageously sexy. you'll just end up regretting it as you cringe at the photos years later.

Birthday OOTDs

Last Saturday was my birthday. I spent it by going to brunch in the early afternoon with my sister and Jeremy. Then I partied with some friends in the night time. I had a great time! I went with comfy and casual look in the daytime. It was so nice out!

Zara tee
Lulu's pants (currently sold out)
F21 loafers
assorted accessories

Then I went for a colorful print for the nighttime celebration. I felt great in the dress, it was ultra flattering. I'm in love with midi-length dresses now. My height is definitely an advantage for this style. Shorter girls look great in this style also with some awesome heels.
