MAC's New Collection Is Too Fabulous

I went to the MAC counter today to buy cremesheens in "Fashion Scoop," which you girls probably know by now is my favorite lip product of all time. It is the prettiest milky pink. I also purchased a beautiful peachy-coral color named "Richer, Lusher." The best way I can describe it is "juicy" - meaning it makes my lips look plump and kissable ;) It isn't exactly as it appears in the tube, but it is still a gorgeous color that is much more opaque than Fashion Scoop or many of the other cremesheens. I also bought a lip pencil called "In Synch." Now, I hardly ever wear a lip pencil. My lips are pretty full on their own, and I never notice any problems with lipcolor bleeding, so a pencil is just another unnecessary step in my routine. But, the MAC girl who helped me was wearing In Synch with Fashion Scoop, and it looked like such a pretty combination! Apparently, it's also the same pairing that the models are wearing in the ad for the collection. So, i'm a sucker and I was sold! I've already tried everything out, and I'm in love with Richer, Lusher. I want to buy another, just in case. And of course, I can never own too many Fashion Scoop cremesheens.

Eva Mendes

I have decided to feature one celebrity each month whose style serves as an inspiration to me. Last month it was Lauren Conrad, and this month I want to feature the ever-seductive Eva Mendes. My boyfriend and I love her (no surprise there !) I really can't say what it is about Eva that I find so appealing, but the woman's got a killer body and she wears clothes very well. She looks feminine because she IS feminine. She's confident, radiant, and isn't afraid to show a little skin. *All photos were found using Google.*

I love her sultry eye makeup and golden hair.

Yellow looks gorgeous on her bronzed skin. I am still obsessed with this color, and still having a hard time finding it in stores.

Let me know if you like the monthly style icon post. Who are your inspirations? Maybe I can feature them in up-coming posts!

Tweed & Lace

In my Feb. favorites post, I mentioned ordering a skirt from Forever 21. I am always leery of purchasing clothes on-line, because I don't know how the item will actually fit my body. And, sometimes my computer moniter likes to play evil tricks on me; it is hard to tell what something looks like in person. I like to touch fabric and inspect seams, and this is of course impossible when shopping over the internet. I was really hoping that the tweed and lace skirt I bought would fit...and it does! I am so happy I trusted my instincts and went for it. Shipping only took four days, and it arrived without any creases or wrinkles ;)

On a side note, I got my hair done this past weekend and I loved the way my hair was styled. Very different from my how I normally do it!

I pulled it back, just for the hell of it.

Hope everyone had a great weekend,

♥ Noelle
