On My Beauty Wishlist: Givenchy Irresistible Eau De Parfum

Image
 Hello to ALL of my beauty lovers on this Thursday/Friday eve, I hope that all of you are doing well and and being kind to others and to yourself.  I don't know if you guys know this, but Givenchy is one of my favorite fashion/beauty brands of all time. But there's a Givenchy parfum that I wanted to have ever since I was in middle school, The Irresistible Eau De Parfum is a magnetically powerful contrast between two opposite accords: luscious rose and luminous blond wood. Irresistible Givenchy Eau de Parfum entices you to feel charming, irresistibly you. Harvested at the first light of day in the Isparta Mountains in Turkey, the rose Essential dances with blond wood in harmonious tension. Twinkling with juicy and crisp tones of pear and ambrette, it then pulsates with powdery iris. The blend comes together deliciously with a tactile caress of musk to create an invigorating fruity-woody floral that is boldly uplifting. The transparent and faceted glass of the prismatic bottle e...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Machete

 I'm so grateful to be back here with all of you again on this Tuesday, I hope that you all had a great weekend with all of your loved ones.  I love sharing with all of you some new jewelry brands that I recently discovered, and one of those brands that I'm talking about is Machete. I found out about them while I was on the internet or reading a fashion magazine, I can't quite remember which. Machete was born from the belief that accessories could be classic and modern, fashionable, and responsible, high-quality and approachable. Inspired by a lifetime of collecting vintage and heirloom pieces, Jennifer J Matchett knew she wanted to create heirloom-quality jewelry and accessories that also functioned as go-to, everyday staples. Sourcing vintage Italian acetate, she created sculptural tortoiseshell earrings that quickly took off and were featured in Vogue in 2017. Today, Machete's product line has expanded to include a curated assortment of jewelry and accessories made f...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Ciate Brazilian Glow Eyeshadow Palette

Image
 I wish all of my beauty lovers out there a Happy Thursday/Friday eve, we are almost to the weekend and I'm so glad about it.  Ciate is a beauty brand that I remember seeing in an ad in a magazine, and their brand is underrated in the beauty world. Starting as an editorial nail technician with undeniable entrepreneurial drive, Charlotte Knight began to use her salon and backstage experience to develop Ciaté London as a nail brand in the late 2000s. Since then, Charlotte has grown Ciaté from a ground-breaking innovator in nail art, polish, and treatments, into a global color cosmetics giant. From the MUA favorite, Dewy Stix to the world’s first transforming Glitter Flip Liquid Lipstick that broke the internet, Ciaté has become a cult status and coveted indie brand winning over 25 beauty awards around the world. With her bold determination and fearless spirit, Charlotte pushes the boundaries of the beauty industry and has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the most innovat...

 Fashion lovers, it's so great to be here with all of you again. I hope that you all had a great Juneteenth with all of your friends and family and are ready to crush the week.  I recently came across the brand Inola Ojen and I fell in love with their shoes, Inola Ojen is a luxury brand inspired by the founder's inability to find a variety of shoes and styles in her extended size. She believes shoes must be fashionable, stylish, practical, functional, and at the same time feel comfortable and luxurious. Every woman deserves shoes that compliment her style or mood, and in her size too. The Inola Ojen woman cherishes support for her feet. She believes shoes must serve the owner well, and be durable and classic with the occasional special accouterment, material, and accessories to stand out in a crowd. She is not afraid to reveal her inner sexuality on her feet. She believes a woman's beauty and confidence in her shoes is a projection of true empowerment. The Signature talking...

  Beauty lovers, we've made it to Thursday/Friday eve and I can't wait to have the weekend to relax from this week that I had I want to wish all of the amazing fathers out there a Happy Father's Day. Mutha is a brand that I've been following for a while now, and I can tell that I want to try out their products for myself, but not only that, I love the whole message of this brand as well. Mutha provides us with products that will not only nourish, but strengthen our confidence, shrink our insecurities, and unconditionally love what makes us brave, empathetic, take-no-nonsense individuals.  Always one to act, Hope Smith decisively chose to direct 5% of full-priced sales from Mutha to midwife and nurse education programs where maternal mortality rates are the highest. Her partner in this mission is the global humanitarian nonprofit organization International Medical Corps, which she had long championed personally. Leveraging Mutha’s financial gifts, the IMC aids a host of ...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Poppy And Peonies

Image
  Well hello again to all of you this Tuesday, I'm so happy to be back here with all of you and I hope that all of you have enjoyed your weekend.  I found out about Poppy And Peonies a few years ago and I fell in love with the bags and the founder's story is something that I can identify with a whole lot. Natalie Dusome grew up in small-town Ontario, she had one big dream, to become a fashion designer. She would drive her parents crazy making clothes out of vintage curtains and harassing the local shop owners to carry her wire handbags as a teenager. This passion led her to design school, and after graduating, she honed her skills in designing for global brands across Canada and the U.S. With the birth of her daughter Poppy, her pre-baby accessories no longer fit with her new life as a mom, she needed lots of pockets and organization. When her search for functional fashion came up empty-handed, she had a feeling she wasn’t alone. So, armed with an idea, lots of determinat...

Hello again beauty lovers and Happy Thursday/Friday eve to all of you. I hope that you all are doing well and ready to have a relaxing weekend.  It Cosmetics was the first beauty brand that I know of putting beauty and science-backed facts for the world to see and use. I've been a fan of theirs for the longest time and I dream of having some if not all of their products in my makeup drawer. I was on their website a few days ago and I saw the Bye Bye Dark Sport Concealer and Serum I love how it worked for the model, so I felt that I needed to tell you guys about this new product.  The Bye Bye Dark Spots Concealer + Serum does more than just provide instant medium coverage and 24 hours of hydration. Over time, this will visibly improve the look of bare skin. It was developed by dermatologists and plastic surgeons, it’s clinically tested to fade the look of dark spots, fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, and uneven skin texture. The secret is in the formula made with a power...

 Happy Tuesday fashion lovers, I'm so grateful to be here with all of you again and I hope that all of you had a great weekend.  JW PEI has been making a fashion stir on social media with these two items as of late and I wanted to let you know about them. I first saw a fashion influencer style in both of these items in a reel she did for her Instagram and I fell in love with how she styled them, but the problem was, I didn't know who designed them at the time.  The Abacus Bag is made from Vegan Leather with a polyester lining, and it has silver hardware, the two circles are undetachable and adjustable and it fits an iPhone 13 and any other smaller phone. This bag is available in several colors and the price is $89.00. https://www.jwpei.com/products/abacus-t-s The Sara Mule is fashion and art at the same moment, it's made from Vegan Leather and the heel is 5cm so practical to walk in.
