Combining the two.. Makeup + Fashion

People may ask what do my clothes have to do with the makeup I am wearing? In my opinion A LOT! I have seen some ridiculous amount of things, from regular people to celebrities! Why would anyone walk out the house with jeans and a t-shirt and a clown for a face? I truly think that matching is a big plus! I think the more simple you dress the less makeup, keep it natural. I think a night out means dressy with a little more boldness.

People like to dress the way they feel. For example, I will dress plain and simple when I am tired and just do not feel like getting up in the morning. Throw something on quick and add a little CC cream and mascara to fit my look. Other days I am feeling good and confident and want to wear something nice and take more time on my makeup and add a little contour, highlight and a nice glossy lip. I can say this goes for many people! Others prefer to wear the same thing and never wear makeup.. but we have all had our moments of wanting to present ourselves in a different way.

There is NO excuse has to why someone can’t look or feel better! Especially now with the internet! Go online and search up many ways.. if you can’t afford it there are cheaper routes even if it means going to a thrift store.. you can so many cute vintage things and still look great! I believe you get what you pay for.. I prefer to invest money in my skin, makeup and clothes because it saves me time.

Affordable Clothing

Blogging is a great hobby to have! Especially giving tips on how to dress at an affordable price like college students. It can be disheartening if you’re a college student and can barely afford a Venti Starbucks, much less a Valentino purse. Most fashion blogs seem to be full of designer accessories and expensive jeans. But style is style, regardless of the price tag or brand, and whether you spend $5 or $500 on sunglasses, fashion is for all of us.

Shop on websites like H&M, Forever, Missguided, Boohoo, Pretty little thing, and even Amazon has things you can find at a cheap price.

Missguided is a great brand for those who have an edgier style but don’t like spending a ton – take this graphic tee and acid-washed denim skirt combination, for example.

Although it mostly targets fashion risk-takers, the brand also has classic options for both curvy and straight sizes, like wrap dresses, bodysuits, and off-the-shoulder silhouettes. And, if you’re looking for pajamas, lingerie, or swimwear, Missguided has you covered there too. 

Boohoo has the perfect mix of clothes, whether you’re looking for a party outfit for a night with your girlfriends. Boohoo also carries a diverse range of maternity, plus, petite, and tall styles that are super affordable. 

Pretty Little Thing has everything from sweet patterned wrap dresses like this one, to simple crop tops and OTT dresses with cutouts, but what’s even better than the range of styles is the ridiculously low prices. 

Amazon fashion is so underrated! The site has tons of trendy and affordable clothes, like this sweet floral midi dress with a keyhole cutout, for instance. And, if you have Amazon Prime, the free shipping will save you even more money that you could spend on!

Lets Talk SKIN

Skin is IN! All year around!

Flawless skin is the hardest thing to get.. unless you are just born with it! I started first taking care of my skin in the beginning of freshmen year in high school. It was the hardest thing ever! I was so eager to try different things everyday.. I spend so much money on buying things and ending up not liking it and throwing it away. It can be a struggle especially when you try to find the best thing that works for your skin!

Someone once said that youth was wasted on the young. And with each new wrinkle that forms, most of us start to see the truth in that saying. Imagine if we could know what we know today, but still looked like we did back then?

People have so many questions and believe it or not most people do not know their skin. You can’t use a product on your face without knowing if you are oily, dry or combination. The product can be very harsh and coming from someone who experienced with a lot of things, it can cause burns, peels, irritation, or rashes. Skin can be sensitive and will not take it well when using something you obviously do not need, using to much or simply not using anything at all!

Today, it is so easy finding out what kind of skin you have or what to use. Go on Sephora.com and take the SKIN QUIZ!

High End Wear

Oh the lifestyle of the rich and the famous! Imagine stopping by Tiffany and Co. on your way to lunch to pick out that perfect piece of luxurious jewelry and then spending the afternoon with friends at the Waldorf Astoria. This is all followed by stopping by the Prada store to find that outfit to add to your ever-growing wardrobe, then ending the night at one of the famous Four Seasons Hotels

My personal favorite high end wear would be GUCCI, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. People ask what is so special about high end wear and why would they spend over $1,000 dollars on a purse, or sneakers? In my opinion, everyone all has their own taste of style and wear. Our clothes make us who we are and how we feel confident in what we wear!

Gucci ranks number one on our list of the most popular luxury brands of 2019, well ahead of all its competitors. It’s no surprise really — sales and market share are up for the luxury fashion brand!

Chanel remains a privately held company owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of Coco Chanel. The product range includes clothes, fragrances, handbags and watches. The brand is most famous for its “little black dress.”

Famous French luxury house Louis Vuitton, or LV, ranks number three on our list of the most popular high-end brands online!

What Is Fashion

Lets start with the beginning and how to follow trends and talk about what fashion is. Fashion is expression. What you wear is who you are most of the time. Some people are very simple, solid colors, some people are very trendy and wear extra things. Fashion describes our creative side of the mind and shows what we are all about. We all want to fit in and follow trends. In 2019 the latest fashion trend is almost very dull and solid. We all want to wear beige, black, grey and chestnut colors. Long coats and high knee boots.

There are honestly so many ways to get into the fashion trending world. Make a Instagram account and follow all of the bloggers! You can see what they wear, how they make it trendy and what fits you the best! On a weekend when you have nothing to do you can easily go online and search fashion bloggers find out what you can afford and search websites and basically turn yourself into your own fashion blogger. Clothes are fun and easy. It is all about mix matching, wearing different colors and just expressing you to the world!

High End Makeup

What would the beauty world be without a blog about high end makeup brands prices and reviews? We all want nice things but do not want to spend hundreds of dollars on something we question. Is it good for my skin?.. Will it cause a skin reaction?.. Is it for dry, oily, or combination skin?.. There are so many questions to ask yourself before spending the ridiculous amount of money on makeup. Since this is my blog I want to talk about some of my favorites that are considered the “high end makeup”.

First lets start off with foundation. My go to foundation is Lamer and Giorgio Armani silk foundation. Lamer costs $120 but it feels amazing and is worth the money! I was so hesitant about this foundation at first because I did not know whether it would give me a reaction considering I have sensitive skin. It turned out amazing! Giorgio Armani costs $64 and always looks good, not that bad of a price for a high end foundation.

Next lets talk concealers and powders. My favorite high end concealer is the NARS creamy concealer. It honestly works amazing and covers up any dark spots, acne, wrinkles. It costs $30 but it is definitely worth the money. Lets talk powders. My favorite is the KKW beauty setting/baking powder. I am a huge fan of Kim Kardashian and I knew her products would already be amazing. Well for me!

Affordable Makeup

A bold lip can improve your life. Not only is it an instant pick-me-up, but it’s also an easy, commitment-free way to change up your look without spending a fortune. And you don’t even have to splurge on department-store lines. Our favorite under-the-radar brands offer cosmetics that cost less than a latte. Here, five new companies to consider.

Sephora is a great place to start on your makeup and beauty journey. Their staff is almost always super helpful if you’re wondering about which products to choose because they have expertise. Depending on who you ask, they’ve either tried the product on themselves or someone else. However, sometimes Sephora isn’t within reach or just out of your price range, which believe us, we’ve been there!

You can find some of these options in the cosmetics aisle of your drugstore, Ulta, Target, or Amazon! So, whether you’re just starting to learn about makeup or on a budget, you’ll hopefully find these suggestions helpful!
