On My Beauty Wishlist: Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gioia

Image
I'm so glad to be back here with all of you again. Happy Friday Eve to you all, and I hope that all of you are ready to have the best weekend yet. Now that we are well in Summer, I try to find a scent that I will wear. I've always loved wearing perfume during any season but when it comes to Spring/Summer, I really can't get enough of it. One day, I was on the Sephora website looking through their perfume selection on their website and I noticed a new perfume from Giorgio Armani that really caught my eye. So I clicked on it and fell in love with the whole fragrance profile.  The Acqua di Gioia represents the joy of the Mediterranean Sea. This refreshing aquatic fragrance opens with a beautiful blend of jasmine and zesty lemon, warmed with woody cedar at the base. Inspired by Italy’s Mediterranean coast, this Giorgio Armani perfume for women is a singular blend of serenity and exhilaration. Opening up with the playful notes of citrus, the aquatic fragrance reveals a heart o...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Kendra Miles Shoes

Image
 Happy Tuesday to all of my fellow fashion lovers, I hope that your weekend was filled with positive vibes and relaxation and your Monday started off on the right foot.  I think that my mother's love for shoes is starting to rub off on me in a HUGE way. I will be on a fashion website and somehow someway, I'll go to the shoe section and will be on there for hours on end. What I love about shoes is that they don't discriminate against you, they don't care if you gained a few pounds, and they are the focal point to every outfit that you wear.  I think that I've read the June issue of Instyle Magazine with Andra Day from cover to cover and find something that I've never seen before. Andra Day says that she's a big fan of Kendall Miles's shoes and from what I can see, I see why. Kendall Reynolds, The Founder and Design Director of Kendall Miles is a Chicago native who graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in International Relation...

As I get older, The days of the week come faster than the latest fashion trends that everyone is talking about. I hope that all of my fashion lovers had a great weekend and a good start to the workweek.  If you know me enough, dainty jewelry is kinda my jam. I learned my lesson from wearing big, and quite honestly gaudy jewelry. I feel that dainty jewelry will always be timeless and will always be in fashion, not only that but for me, dainty jewelry is my cup of tea.  Jaclyn Hill (The Queen Of Selling EVERYTHING) I was watching her Fall favorites video on her Youtube channel and she mentioned this new jewelry company that I never heard of before, so I decided to check the brand out for myself and I was blown away with the great quality and the price point of her jewelry, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on jewelry to look amazing. Coco Chanel wore costume jewelry and looked stunning.  Melinda Maria creates pieces that make you feel luxurious, sexy, edgy, and c...

I hope that all of you are doing well and I hope that you are ready to enjoy your weekend ahead.  I've recently talked about the Black Owned Skincare brand, Epara in a blog post and I must say that I'm starting to want this brand in my everyday skincare routine. I love the simple, clean vibe of the packaging of all of their products. I was on their website a few weeks ago and I noticed a serum that I never saw on the website, so I clicked on it and I loved everything that this serum does for your skin.

I totally forget about this post and I wanted to tell you guys about it before I forget it again.  Handbags will always have my heart, I'm started to get into shoes as well. I love a great handbag and I will make no apologies for that at all. I saw one of my favorite Fashion influencers, Marrissa Breann open this on her Instastories and I saw that it was a new Coach bag and I LOVE Coach handbags.

 Hello again to all of my beauty lovers, I hope that you are enjoying your Friday eve and your weekend to come. I always look forward to talking to you about beauty every Thursday and I look forward to relaxing and giving myself and my brain a break from blogging and social media.  When I tell you that adding sunscreen into my skincare routine has totally been a game-changer for me.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Dior Caro Bag

Image
It's Tuesday again already, it can't be true, Lol. Hello again my fashion friends, I've missed y'all so much and I hope that all of you have had a great weekend while you wearing a great outfit, of course. I'll say this until I'm blue in the face, I absolutely LOVE Christian Dior, I want to have at least a few pieces from Christian Dior in my closet before the Lord called me home. Now I know that Dior has gotten a lot of criticism for some of their collections, but for me, I feel that they are maturing with the people that are investing and wearing their designs, and sometimes maturity is a good thing for a fashion house. I saw a very stylish Korean woman carrying a new bag from Dior and I was in love with the bag ever since that I saw it. I didn't know the name of the bag, but I love Dior so I didn't mind it. So I want on the Dior website to find this new bag that was now on my never-ending fashion wishlist and I find the Caro Bag is something that need...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Ace Beaute Grandiose Eyeshadow Palette

Image
 Okay, I'm not ready to say goodbye to y'all just yet. I was looking at an eyeshadow palette that I have to have in my makeup drawer.  Before I tell you more about this eyeshadow palette, I want to tell you more about the company itself. Ace Beaute was launched in 2016 and was launched with a wide selection of false lashes. To make sure that their brand was completely cruelty-free, they no longer carry mink lashes just faux mink lashes. They have since expanded our line into color cosmetics and have a lot of wonderful products coming your way. The motto for Ace Beaute is "Beauty For All"  regardless of age, sex, skin color, religion, or socioeconomic status.  When I saw the Grandiose Palette, I instantly thought of Fall. The Grandiose Palette features 8 colors. Each color has been carefully milled and pressed to provide the easiest application and the most excellent color pay off. Unfourantely, this is sold out on the website, but you best believe I si...

 Happy Thursday my beauty lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and you are gearing up to have a great weekend ahead of you because you simply deserve it.  As I get older and looking into what is in the skincare that I use on a daily basis, I look for ingredients that are not only good for me, but for the world around me. I was on @itsethicalsteph , formally known as Free The Bunnies and she was talking about a new skincare company that I never heard of before, so I decided to check them out for myself.  Alpyn Beauty is a sustainably sourced skincare line formulated with a proprietary complex of wildcrafted and hand-cultivated alpine botanicals grown in the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We take our inspiration from the region’s renowned alpenglow, the ethereal pink light cast at sunrise and sunset which illuminates the mountaintops, meadows, forests, and valleys where the ingredients for our products grow.   The founder Kendra Kolb Butler wanted to...
