Sparkle and Sass

Happy Monday (3 more Monday's until Christmas to be exact)!! I'm sharing my favorite finds right now at H&M  P.S. There's free shipping over $40-CODE: 0040  I'm doing a try-on session tonight too! [Stay tuned on my Instagram Stories  Link to my IG ] I kept 3 sweaters out of the 4 I ordered online and here's why. The red sweater- HERE  is my absolute favorite I ordered. It comes in 3 colors {black, light Pink, & red}. My thought process behind the color choice was the light Pink washes me out-Blonde hair & light skin does not mix well with that color. And only the Lord knows I have way to many black sweaters. I am trying to venture out of my ALWAYS wearing black, so help me stay accountable with that ladies. LOL! I'm thinking of wearing this red sweater for a Christmas party with a lace knee length black shirt. It's BEST of BOTH worlds. This sweater is totally wearable with black skinny's or distressed jeans for a more casual look....

You asked for it, and it's surely my pleasure to give it to you!  Leggings can be the hardest part of an outfit. And if you're like me during the colder months I live in leggings! Before knowing which ones to wear (aka 18 years old) I use to go through basic ones, so quickly! I never knew where to find a nice pair of leggings. And if I should get colors or if expensive ones were worth it or not. So here's the deal, you cannot ever go wrong with black leggings. And some expensive ones are definitely worth it, promise. I like my leggings to be thick, and feel almost as pants- just more comfortable. Because there is almost nothing worse than see through leggings {insert monkey covering face emoji} Great inexpensive pair :  Here  [I'm wearing these with my green tunic] and  Here Worth the penny:  Here Flattering:  Here  [I'm wearing these  with the white sweater] Super Fun:  Here   and  Here [Nordstrom is out o...

Last day of the VIB Sale is today. And I had to put up what I'm wearing lately just in case anyone wants some last minute picks while the Promo is going on.  Lips: I am OBSESSED! The Liner  is less than 14 right now and the Lipstick  is beyond gorgeous. The Lip liner color: Borderline and the Hourglass Lipstick  color: I wish. Pretty much I borderline wish this was a tattoo. LOL!  Eyebrows:   EyeBrow  Disclaimer, I have been blessed by the eyebrow Gods, and it doesn't take much for me in the mornings to make mine look good. I totally admit it!! I love the fibers in my eyebrow tools, I used gimme brow for years. And the  Anastasia tint  is great too, but I think the Too Faced  one is most similar to gimme brow. I want something quick and effortless when it comes to my brows, this works great for that! Eyeshadow: I think my eyes are my absolute favorite when it comes to this look!  Tarte Eyeshadow Palette  is beautifu...

SEPHORA VIB SALE It's that time of the year...the Sephora VIB Sale .  I gathered my first set of 10 products that I think would be the most beneficial to purchase during this sale. The products vary from 20-88 dollars. These are in my opinion the ones you don't want to leave without. Some might last 3 months ( Mascara ) others can last years ( Rice Sake Bath ). I love each and every one of these products, and I cannot rave enough about them.  I also listed two tools at the bottom that are my personal favorite and I would take advantage of during this sale too.  Peel Pads  : These pads are fantastic!! I love them because if I ever travel or stay the night somewhere and know my face is going to need that extra deep exfoliation I can just take one set. They are all individually wrapped for you. There are technically two pads for each use, use both.The  original peel pads have glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and malic acid. The combination of the ...

Hi my friends!! I wanted to explain why I had been gone for a month. I feel like I owe my readers an explanation for why I had not been writing because  I've tried to create a friendship with you all.  Believe me when I say it, I really missed blogging. It's definitely what puts a smile on my face everyday. And when I hear someone tell me how much they love my blog or how they totally rocked those jeans because they read my post. You all make me so happy inside.   If you have me on Facebook, you might have figured out that my Mama was in a terrible accident. And if not, that is why I have not been posting. I am not going to go into details of the accident just know she is alive and is finally home now.  As much as I missed blogging (even if I am a newbie), the first two weeks I was not even thinking about it (totally understandable, I am human). My entire life stopped, and it was focused on my mom. I was sleeping in the waiting room, skipping meals and spen...
