Makeup is an Artform.

I think makeup is an artform, which is why I have so many different products. I love trying new things and experimenting with different colors and makeup companies. 

I don't think makeup should be over-the-top as much as I love these photos, but I do believe that a little bit of makeup goes a long way in freshening one's look and added some glitz!


I wanted to share some of my current favorite products with you:

1. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - $5
2. NARS lipgloss in Belize - $24
3. DIOR Style Liner - $32
4. MAC Select cover-up - $16.50


What are some of your favorite makeup products? I love recommendations!


Side note, to celebrate the fact that I have 40 followers... look out for an upcoming giveaway! Thanks for being so great to me these past few months.

Retro Watches.

I've always been a fan of vintage, especially vintage accessories, which is why the new retro watch trend is so exciting!

1. Nixon Time Teller PU - $110

2. Marc Jacobs Pelly Watch - $20

3. Timex Classic Watches - $26 & u

4. Casio Casual Classic Watch - $21

5. Nixon Vega Watch - $60

6. Rumba Time Broadway Slap Watch - $20

And the winner for me was the Nixon Vega watch in brown tortoise...

Sorry for the poor picture quality... didn't have good lighting at the time!


What do you think? Loving the retro watches?


It must be cool if Justin Bieber wears one... right?

Vintage Posters.

I have a small obsession with vintage art, and I particularly love vintage posters. There's just something special about the way they were drawn and the combination of colors. My favorite vintage posters have to do with fashion, surprised?! 

Here are a few that I love:

Anyone else a vintage art fan?

I love Insta-Polish!

My collection so far...

Although I love my OPI and ESSIE colors, I'm often in a rush when I'm getting ready in the morning and that's why these Sally Hansen Insta-Dry nail polishes are perfect for my lifestyle. They dry in 60 seconds, are available in 32 colors and cost only $4.95. And the best part... They're available at the pharmacy!


So far my collection consists of: Brisk Blue, Presto Pink, Wined Up, Night Flight and Blue Streak.

I'm wearing (and loving!) Brisk Blue... perfect shade to shake off my winter blues.

Have any of you tried these polishes? If so, what's your favorite color?

Jewelry Art.

I just wanted to start off by saying thanks to all my readers! I'm very excited to already have 14 followers and I'm thankful! Spread the love :)

My jewelry stash is an absolute mess! I don't have enough room to store everything properly so all my necklaces get tangled, earrings break and I could never find anything!


I think I have found the perfect solution that works well in an apartment and looks cute too... jewelry frames!

What do you think? Does it work or does it still look messy?

What are your jewelry organization solutions?
