Shoe Love: Havaianas Flip-Flops

Hello Lovelies!

 I hope you are all well. I have been in a bit of a rut makeup-wise lately so I thought I would talk about shoes today. I have been loving wedges lately but at the end of the day I just want to give my feet a break. I have been throwing a pair of Havaianas in my bag and taking them with me. I have three pairs - pink, grey, and a light blush color. They are available in pretty much every color more or less.

For relatively cheap plastic flip-flops, these are really comfortable. They also wear really well - they don't get dirty easily and you can wash them off really easily if you need to. I got mine at Lord & Taylor but I think you can get them at other department stores. These are great with jeans and a casual tee-shirt or with a nice sundress/maxidress.

These are also great for going to the beach or the pool since they are waterproof and sand brushes off really easily once they dry.

Let me know if any of you pick a pair up.

OPI Gel French Manicure

Hello Lovelies!!!

I hope you are all well. I have a black tie event tonight and I decided to get an OPI gel French manicure and I am so glad I did. My manicurist used bubble bath for the base, alpine snow for the tips, and passion on top. I absolutely love the way it came out. I have gotten gel manicures and shellac manicures in the past but I usually get solid colors. I wanted something classic tonight, hence the French. I will definitely be getting this again in the future.

Love Hate Relationship - Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express Review

Hello Lovelies!!


I hope you are all well. I just wanted to do a quick review of the Maybelline - the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara. I have a love hate relationship with this mascara after using it for a few days. I absolutely love the effect this gives to your lashes - they look long and voluminous. I had the color Classic Black and it really is a great black mascara.

However, after a few days of using it I started to notice that my eyes were relatively irritated and would burn every time I did my makeup in the mornings. The only product that I had changed was this mascara so I stopped using it and switched back to my HG Clinique High Impact mascara. After a few days my eyes went back to normal and I haven't been having any problems since. My eyes are usually not that sensitive but I must have had an allergic reaction to something in the mascara.

Overall, this is a great mascara, if it doesn't irritate your eyes. It doesn't flake and the only big drawback I had with it was the smell, which can be relatively strong until it dries on your lashes. It is worth trying since the effect it gives your lashes is absolutely gorgeous but be careful in case it does irritate your eyes.

Hope this is helpful!!
