I wanted to buy this awhile back, but they were our of stock.  I totally see why chicks everywhere rave about this lipstick,  its gorgeous! Perfect for everyday wear and a little bit orange and edgy. Not much else to explain, see photos for awesomeness.

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!!

How cute is this?! To promote their new collection Baking Beauties, MAC hired models in full body paint to come hang out at their 5th avenue store! I was going to walk right by the store (in fear that I would buy everything) but saw the model and had to see what was going on! She was so sweet and gladly posed for my photo.

The collection has the whole kitten caboodle - glitter, pro longwear paint pots, mascara, lipstick, mineralize tinted lip balm (Cheery Cheery is SO pretty in person) and some other fun stuff too. I can't help but geek over this collection, considering makeup and baking are probably my two most favorite hobbies!

Hypnose Star mascara was another product I received in my CEW gift bag. I was excited - a mascara that wasn't mass! I am a habitual mascara tester, I will try almost any brand, brush shape, etc.

Back in the day, I would wear the original Hypnose, so I assumed that this one would be an improvement on the original. I was wrong.

It flakes awfully. I gave it a few tries - 1 coat, 2 coats, curling my lashes before and/or after but nothing stopped the flaking. I would look in the mirror at work, and there would be little black dots all under my eyes that I would attempt to wipe off with a tissue - it just smeared. I was pretty disappointed with this one. I'm glad that I didn't pay for it though!

Hope everyone is having a great Friday!!

Brooks Brothers is doing a line of Great Gatsby-inspired clothing, and I think they really nailed it. My fiancé sent me the link freaking out, and I did the same. I love old movies and clothing, and seeing this collection just made me so happy. You gotta REALLY love your man, because this stuff is NOT CHEAP! A blazer for $800, saddle shoes for $600 and cufflinks for $395. But hey, no one ever said looking sharp was cheap right?

Here are some of my favorites from the collection!

I have always applauded MAC for choosing kick ass people to represent their brand. When I wandered onto the MAC website and saw Hayley Williams from Paramore, I freaked! I’ve always loved her style, and her signature color – orange! MAC is doing an online only collection with Hayley, consisting of a limited life lipstick, eye shadow, nail lacquer and mineralize skinfinish (click the MAC site below to check them out).

 The image that they picked for the campaign is beautiful, so inspiring and so Hayley! What do you guys think – interested in this collection? I know it might be tough to wear the lipstick and eye shadow if you aren’t comfortable with the brightness.

I just saw these online and just HAD to post. How hilarious are these?! At $39 each I don't think i'm springing for one, but I completely appreciate how cute and playful they are!

As a skull and cross bones, leather jacket wearing type chick, the color pink doesn’t come to mind when thinking about my wardrobe. Inexplicably, I’ve been wearing, buying, loving all things pink lately. Maybe it’s because I’m getting married and getting married is HAPPY? Maybe I’m hoping for warmer weather and to finally ditch my winter coat for good this season? Who knows!

Today I am especially pink – nails, lips, purse and shopping. Enjoy and happy Friday!
