UK love: Asos.com

          I took advantage of the fact that Asos, the UK's largest online retailer, is now shipping to the US for free!! I thought it would be way too complicated to model these for you so I borrowed these stock photos from the site ;) The shipping wasn't too bad it took 7 business days for my order to arrive and they offer free return shipping.


ASOS Mesh Insert Strappy Detail Top - Black $15.17



ASOS Fairtrade Cotton Front Corset Top - Coral $8.17



ASOS Strap Detail Body-Conscious Top - Black $15.17

fashion friday



          I recently took the plunge & ordered some goodies from Forever 21's online store. I am so not liking this whole Forever 21 on steroids business!!! For some reason every store around me has tripled in size. Initially, I was ecstatic more square footage more fantastically cheap clothes but NO... it’s so overwhelming & anxiety inducing. It’s just too much && i don’t really see any theme or organization. So I decided to try my luck online and to my surprise the site is pretty well organized :) One of the downsides of ordering online is that you can’t really check out the quality and well with forevee 21 I wasn’t really expecting much. So, I just kinda ordered some basic stuff like belts & cardis. The shopping experience was great & the shipping was free && it arrived the next day!! ((They ship out of Los Angeles. )) Oh another bummer, was that they don’t pay for return shipping but it was okay since i didn’t need to return anything.



Lace Knit Top $12.80



Woven Leatherette Belt $6.80



Leatherette Braided Belt $4.80



Cardis $11.50 each



Braided Belt $3.50




p.s thank you for all of your kind words on my previous post :) HUGS!

cookies, meds & OCD

          Last week, I met with a new psychiatrist. For the first time in two years, I feel like someone actually listened to me and told me the truth. I’ve been fighting a lot of battles and I won’t burden you with my problems but lately depression has been the BIGGEST demon in my life. Depression has held me back from doing a lot things that I used to love like going out with friends, spending time with my family, and even working. I’ve been stuck at home in my own little world for far too long and i’m glad that I finally reached out for help. Now, the dr put me on an antidepressant && i can’t seem to slow down or even keep my mouth shut. I’m thinking that this dosage is not right for me... my depression has now been replaced with cleaning & baking obsessively!! LOL I did make some yummy cookies tho !! My hubster is def not complaining.

UK Love : The Original i-Divine Palette

         It is no secret that the UK is home to some of the most outstanding make up brands like Illamasqua & Make up Forever. Thankfully for us Americans, these brands have made it across the pond and into our local Sephoras. I recently, did a swapsies (click for blog post) with a UK based beauty blogger. Now, it has come to my attention that the UK is keeping some amazing make up all to themselves!! Luckily for me, Kelly from the Perfect Pout was gracious enough to share with me some of the UK’s best kept secrets. She sent some Sleek palettes. First off, the colors are beautiful & the color pay off is BA-NA-NAS (a la’ rachel zoe)!!


Behold the Original i-Divine Palette
by Sleek MakeUP





         The packaging is a study hard plastic & it houses twelve individual eyeshadow shades for the retail price of $10.00. The shadows are mineral-based and are described on the website as having a “velvet touch” consistency. The colors are vibrant and have great staying power. The palette also has a mirror & a double ended sponge applicator.





(swatches top left to bottom right)



         If you would like to purchase the palette u can find it at the sleek make UP website. Only bummer is that US shipping is $13.50 :(

Review: Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse



         Loving the texture of this foundation it’s very light and dries to a powder. The formula really keeps the skin looking hydrated & fresh. Unfortunately, I have been cursed with flakies around my nose and parts of my cheeks, it’s a HOT MESS, but the foundation really camouflages these bad areas. The coverage is light to medium & I use a damp cosmestic sponge to apply. The products claims to not clog pores & personally I haven't experienced any break outs :) The foundation also doesn't have any spf! so no worries at picture time. I'm wearing the foundation in 240 pure beige. I feel that the shades tend to lean more towards the yellow side perfect for my NC30-35 skin.




         I do have some issues tho’ my face tends to get a little shiny at around the four hour mark so I keep some MAC blot powder handy. Also, i’m not liking the packaging it’s bulky. Would have liked to see this product in a compact like the MAC studio tech foundation. The top compartment of the foundation houses a useless sponge applicator. The bottom portion twists off and holds the foundation




.49 ounces Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse $7.99 @ Target
(.35 ounces MAC studio tech $29.50)

Rating 4/5 (packaging sucks!)

what are your thoughts on this foundation??

eva

the Urban O' score.

My Order




          these items were already on sale on the urban outfitters site & i used a 20% off coupon that I found on retailmenot for extra savings && the shipping was free!!


          I am OBSESSED w/rompers!! I added a belt that I found at my mom's house from my high school yrs:) I don't have a picture of the ballet flats see below for more stock photos. The flats are a steal $17.99 for leather flats with no toe cleavage. I don't mind the toe cleavage but i know there's ppl that are weird about it :)
