You can never have too much chevron

I don't know why but I love chevron. 

I think it's because I love the stark contrast of the print. 

Chevron is a print to me that will always appear modern despite it being a 70's vintage print. 

What is chevron? Think of chevron as a print that consists of a lot of inverted “v” shapes. It was first on the scene in the 70's but has come back in style in a HUGE way and I am forever grateful.

Review: Rimmel London BB Cream

Time to jump on the beauty product bandwagon.

Introducing drugstore BB creams.

I am a foundation girl and always have been. To be quite honest, the idea of a cream on my face that has the possibilities of replacing my foundation freaked me out. I like my foundation. I like the "junk" on my face to be covered so no one has to see it, including me.

So  when BB creams came out on the market and took over, I was fine with it but I couldn't find one that I liked in the drugstore. I am not about to pay $30-$40 for one product at the makeup counter. Never have and never will. I like my products readily available at any Target or Walmart. Word!

But then Rimmel introduced their new contribution to the world of drugstore BB creams and I became a very happy girl.

Rimmel London

BB Cream SPF 25

Primes, Moisturizes, Minimizes Pores, Conceals, Covers, Smoothes, Mattifies, Brightens, and helps Protect.

Pros

• I love using this product when I am at home and running errands. 
• Light/Medium coverage compared to drugstore foundations.  
• SPF 25
• When you apply a powder over the BB cream it doesn't get shiny throughout the day
• Matches my skin tone very well
• Doesn't get heavy 
• Don't need a lot of product to cover your entire face. Little goes a long way

Cons

• Looks streaky when applied with fingers. (I have to apply with a foundation sponge)
• Need to use a concealer with it to make sure my "junk" is covered. 

Side note: 

Junk-(n) /jəNGk/ acne, acne scaring, facial volcanoes, explosions on face 

Overall, I love this product. I rarely reach for my foundations anymore. 

Grade A-

Have you seen the make-up look using Rimmel BB Cream

BB Cream Look

Want to know how to make your new BB Cream a part of your everyday make-up routine?

Here's how....

1. Apply the BB Cream onto skin using fingers or a foundation sponge. (If you really want to sheer out the coverage use a damp sponge.)
2. Take a cream eyeshadow, I like the Smokey shadow stick from Revlon in Torch to use for your eyes. Apply the lighter shade all over eye for a base. Then take the darker color and apply on crease of eyelids. Blend the product in with a brush until you like the way it looks. 
3. Line your upper lash line with eyeliner 
4. Smudge the darker color from the eyeshadow stick onto lower lash line for a smokey look
5. Mascara on both top and bottom lashes.
6. Place Dream Bouncy blush on the apples of cheeks. 
7. Tinted lip balm.

Florals for Spring...Groundbreaking

I hate spring. 

One word...allergies. 

I love flowers but every year, I always manage to have issues with breathing between both nostrils, constantly sneezing and watery eyes. 

Don't lie. You know you are right there with me. 

Printed jeans have become the new thing for spring. This is a tricky but cool trend if you like the look. Pay close attention when you are shopping for a print that is a good proportion to your body's shape and isn't very overpowering. No girl ever wants to look like wallpaper butt...like ever. Your best best is to stick with small or medium size print. 

You can easily pair a plain white t shirt with these jeans or a cool chambray like seen here which pulls the blue in the print. A fun statement necklace underneath the collar is right on trend. 

Pastels are on of the most common trends you see during spring. I love the idea of small pastel bags. Smaller bags are often cheaper; so it's going to be easy to mix this in with your new spring pieces. 

What are some of the spring trends you are loving right now? 

March Favorites

Goodbye March...Hello April!

I am on a mission to post as much as I can for the month of April, then hopefully it will become a habit. (You're welcome America.)

Considering my pure love and obsession with beauty vloggers on YouTube, I thought I would try doing the same thing just in written form. Cause let's get real here people, I am already having a hard time posting on a consistent basis. You really think I would try the video thing here too. (not a chance...well at least right now...I am not making any promises.)

Anyways onto the good stuff:

What are your favorite beauty products this month?

Happy Spring
