The Shirt Dress



I FINALLY found the perfect t-shirt dress (for me anyway) that I bought it in navy blue/cream!!
I'm in love and the best part they're AFFORDABLE, do you hear me Urban Outfitters?! At a whopping $9.99 a piece at H&M they are just as good or better than one that might cost you $40. Its soft, breathable, comfortable and they don't stretch out in weird ways but most importantly they have sizes for everyone, so go get you soooome! 









I'm currently reading East of Eden, pick it up its a great read.





Scarf: Target *old*
Skull bracelet: Amazon
Delphi Watch (thrifted)
(Yes that's a My Little Pony key chain, don't judge lol)




Lips: NYX Monte Carlo









Bomber: Target (also comes in Olive Green)






This is one reason I love the Third Ward 


Boots: Rampage via TjMaxx **old**
Fringe crossbody: Merona via Target (also comes in tan)





XOXO

M I C R O_Brow

So NYX came out with a bunch of new products recently and I believe this Micro Brow product is one of them? I'm not 100% sure but I'm 95% sure its pretty new because Ive seen and tried their other brow pencils and hated them all UNTIL...........NOW! 
If you've been following me on Youtube or Instagram for a while you'd know Ive been using Maybelline's DEFINE-A-Brow for years and loving it to death! Now I don't like to spend much on brow pencils because I go through them quite fast however I am open to splurging on something like ABH brow pomade thingy not just yet however lol so I saw this Micro brow pencil and prayed it could replace my current love (define a brow) because its sooooo hard to find in my shade (medium brown) at the store.
I'm so happy to say Ive replaced my Maybelline brow pencil for NYX MICRO Brow which you can purchase at Ulta for $10

This is definitely comaparable to ABH Brow Wiz however....this point is thinner.

 My shade is Ash Brown which looks a lot lighter on the brow than it does when its swatched but I like pretty light brows compared to my darker hair. There are 9 shades in total so it's easy to find something to match everyone which is always nice.

 Micro is the perfect word to describe the tip of the pencil! Its perfect! I found that it gave my brows a much more natural look so if you're a person that likes a more natural brow this is for you also if you have thicker/fuller brows this is perfect to fill in some little patches or add a bit more structure without making them look over done.
The only thing it claims to do is be smudge proof, its not but it also lasts for a long time! It also comes with a spooly on the opposite end.

I love this, I have zero complaints about it! It works perfectly for me its not too creamy or too dry but it has an slight tackiness to it and I find that helpful. The texture is more on the dryer end that's something I look for in brow pencils because lets face it nobody wants greasy looking eyebrows halfway through the day. 
Also It looks nice alone....very natural.


EXAMPLE 1
Im wearing just the pencil on my brows for an everyday look.



EXAMPLE 2

Here Im using it as base for other shadows for A more intense brow look.




Pros: 
affordable
long lasting
natural looking
large shade range

Cons:
 N/A

I give this a 10/10 (:

Lipstick of The Month......Prague!

So I think I'll start a series here on my blog called "Random Raves" because I never have enough things to show monthly and I'll never remember to save certain things to show at a later date so whenever I have a random favorite I will post it here. Id do vids but I can't currently edit any videos on my laptop.

Let's start with my very first "Random Favorite" ^_^

This product is not new but more of an rediscovered favorite lol I love them quite a bit and I recently went on a hunt for a nice pinky berry shade for my lippy collection when I found Prague soft matte lip cream by NYX although I wanted more of a satin finish this is fine with me for the moment simply because I can't stop wearing it. 

           (Left no flash/ right w/flash)
I bought mine at Ulta for around $5 from past experience using this product I know it's still super drying on the lips and somewhat patchy. 

                 In bad lighting.....

                       Natural lighting

 With the flash on, it looks more purple than it actually is in person.
