Classic Pin Up Makeup ♥

When I think of Marilyn Monroe there are two things that come to mind, Red lips and a Mole. The Classic Pin Up makeup look has been around for years and I still think it can be one of the most sophisticated and classy makeup looks someone can wear. This look literally goes with every skin tone, and every outfit. You can dress it up or dress it down. You can wear it for any occasion. It’s just one of those classic looks that you can always go to.

I spoke about my M.A.C Viva Glam Rihanna Lipstick in my last L.O.T.M post , I’ve been so obsessed with this red, that it basically inspired me to create this look for you guys. It’s such a simple look that anyone can do this!

I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial and if you do please thumbs up, like, comment, and share the video!

California OOTD – Day 1 Pt.2 ♥

Our first day in California was a busy day! in my last post I told you guys what we did earlier in the day. After our stroll through the beaches of Long Beach, we met up with my boyfriend’s close friend. All three of us headed to Los Angeles to see the walk of fame and all of the great touristy attractions. Unfortunately for us, the Chinese theatre was closed so we weren’t able to see that or anything inside of it, but it was cool seeing the walk of fame and the Hollywood sign!

At night it tends to get a little chilly in California, so I made sure to change into pants and a long sleeved blouse. It was such a comfortable outfit and it kept me warm through the night. It was also dressy enough for what we had planned later in the night.

After having a Touristy afternoon, we went to Lisa Vanderpump’s ( From the real housewives of Beverly Hills) restaurant, SUR. Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures while inside but let me reassure you, it is worth the hype. The food was delicious and priced well. The atmosphere gave you the feeling of a lounge but still kept it classy. It was truly a great experience and I will be returning when I am back in California!

Lips of The Moment – Glam it up ♥

Red lipstick to me is like your go-to classy lipstick, it goes with any skin color and any occasion. I’m pretty much a lipstick hoarder, so I can tell you right now that I have several shades of the same color in different lipsticks, but this one has become one of my go-to favorite red lipsticks. I’m not a huge fan of Rihanna but I can’t lie, her partnership with M.A.C cosmetics has just been amazing. From the packaging to the actual product itself, they’re definitely must try products.

This particular one is the Viva Glam Rihanna lipstick by M.A.C cosmetics. It is a Blue Red lipstick with a bit of frost in it, but once applied to the lips you can’t really see the frost too much.  The great thing about this lipstick besides the amazing packaging (which I will get into in just a bit) is that every cent from your purchase goes towards women, men, and children living with or affected by AIDS/HIV. Being that I lost a family member from this disease it means so much more to me that I can help out by buying something that I am passionate about as well.

The packaging is beautiful. It is a red velvety, smooth, soft touch packaging and it contains Rihanna’s actual signature on the inside of the tube. This is a lipstick that I would for sure want to display on my vanity. It is a limited-edition lipstick so if you are interested I would suggest going out and buying it sooner than later!

When applying red lipsticks, you always want to use a lip liner. This goes for dark lipsticks in general. My lips especially, tend to bleed a lot when applying dark lipsticks so lining them helps defeat that. With this lipstick I use my Sonia Kashuk Lip Liner. It is the perfect combination!

What is your lip of the moment and what lip products are you wanting to try?
