On My Beauty Wishlist: Dolce And Gabbana Dolce Lily Eau De Toilette

Image
 Hello again my fellow beauty lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well. As you reading this, I'm taking a week off from Beauty Blogging (Don't worry, I'm not quitting forever, it's my birthday week and I want to enjoy it.) so I wanted to make sure that you guys had something to read while I'm on my little vacation.  I don't ever want to be a fashion Debbie Downer, but I'm not a fan of  Dolce And Gabbana fashion at all. But their fragrances are killing it for me at the moment. I was watching a commercial for their new Eau De Toilette, Lily so I wanted to find out more about it for myself. Lily is described as a luminous addition to the Dolce fragrance collection, this bright, fruity-floral combines a delicate signature pink-lily accord with exotic passion fruit atop a base of soft, sensual musks. The Dolce And Gabbana Dolce Lily retails for $82.00 on the Sephora website, but I'll link some more options below.  https://www.sephora.com/product/dolce-ga...

Image
 Hello, my fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well. I'm going to be a little bit absent on my blog (I'm not giving up Fashion Blogging, I promise.) It's my birthday week and I want to have a little time off so I can really enjoy it.  I recently found out a fashion that I'd never heard about before, so I check his designs, and now, I want him to design my entire life. Poem Bangkok is a throwback from the '50s with their feminine and timeless designs. The brand  reinterprets the revered French dress-making tradition with modern lifestyle and production system in order to offer a ready-to-wear line that follows the concept of “Modern Glamour” The creative director, Chavanon Caisiri puts it, his hourglass shape is achieved by calculating the structure of pattern and the use of selected materials to recreate the classic hourglass silhouette that best compliments the smaller frame of Asian women. This Modern Hourglass needs not heavy undergarment and instead...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Mad Hippie

Image
  Happy Thursday beauty lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well. Friday eve is here and our weekend is only a few hours away.  I've always wanted to try Mad Hippie for a long time, but I was afraid of what it may do to my sensitive skin so I just put it off. But I was reading an ad from in a fashion magazine that I was reading and I saw a product that they offer on their website so I was interested in their products again.  Mad Hippie started when new married couple Sam and Dana's  skin started to suffer the consequences of hours in the equatorial sun. Driven by a passion for simplicity, clean ingredients, and a desire to create naturally-based, effective skincare that could serve our fellow community of adventurers, explorers, and dreamers.  I think that I need to start using a serum in my skincare routine, I have a few dark spots on my face and The Vitamin C Serum  is a harmonious blend of antioxidants that work wonders on improving the overall appe...

On My Beauty Wishlist: GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum

Image
 Happy Thursday or Happy Friday Eve to all of my beauty lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and ready to relax and have fun for your weekend ahead.  As I get older, taking care of my lashes is a priority for me. I don't wear fake lashes because of the fear of tearing out my real lashes and quite honestly, I'm don't have the patience to wait for the lash glue to dry and have a wonky lash. I came to know about the lash serum for Grande Lash after I saw an ad in a fashion magazine that I was reading at the time I went on their website and I knew that this had to be a part of my everyday routine. The award-winning lash enhancing serum is infused with a blend of vitamins, peptides, and amino acids to promote the appearance of naturally longer, thicker-looking lashes in 4-6 weeks, with full improvement in 3 months.

 Hello Fashion lovers, I hope that you're not suffering from the Monday Blues. But I hope that this blog post will soften everything.  I'll be honest, I DON'T CARE about awards shows at all, I'm just here for the Fashion. I feel that awards shows are just unnecessary and a huge waste of time, but I love Fashion, so I'll make a sacrifice for it. I watched the Pre-show for the MTV VMA's and I saw Halle Bailey from the amazing sister duo, Chloe And Halle and I saw her wearing this dress and it has been on my mind for a while. I searched and searched for the dress and couldn't find the designer, until now. I was on Instagram and I saw a picture of the same dress that Halle Bailey and I felt that I finally need to tell you guys about it.  Eli Mizrahi was born in Lebanon and moved to New York at the age of 13 as a political refugee. Fascinated by the world of fashion, he began meeting influential figures in New York City and created an impressive network of friend...
