IMATS NY Haul+ pictures

This past weekend I went to IMATS NY for the second year in a row. I had so much fun this weekend and really enjoyed IMATS on Sunday. Saturday we arrived in NY and did some shopping around the city, grabbed a bite to eat in Time Square then Sunday we went to IMATS went to the movies, are at BBQs and went home.

Two tops I bought from the Victoria Secret on 34th street.

Product Review: MAC Modern Mandarin

Not too long ago MAC released their tres cheek collection consisting of 4 or 5 new blushes. I saw Modern Mandarin and knew immediately that I had to have it. I zoomed to the MAC store, tried it on and fell in love. At first glance, you don't notice the sparkles but once you apply it gives a beautiful glowy finish( it is a Satin textured blush). It's a little lighter than I expected but I still love it. 

OOTD- cold,Spring day

It was so cold in Baltimore today I could not and still cannot believe the weather we have been receiving in the DMV( DC,MD,Va) area. It's Spring time but it's been snowing and super chilly. Today, I decided to dress both Spring and cold weather attire by pairing my neon coral sweater from Forever 21 with my black Skater Skirt from Forever 21. I accessorized with a necklace from Francesca's and my tights are from GAP. I wore my black, Steve Madden boots and carried my black Tory Burch Ella Tote( not pictured).

Hope you enjoyed 😘

Hey hey!

 So I know it's been awhile but I'm bringing you guys my new favorite foundation review . Lately I have been wearing the Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Cadiz which I love!!!!!! Idk what took me so long to try it out but I'm glad I finally did. It is so light weight but provides a great coverage, the shade matches me perfectly and gives me a nice natural finish. I apply it with a beauty blender or a airbrush pro brush from Sephora( I like the beauty blender better). I spray the BB with MACs. Fix+ spray which provides my foundation with a dewy healthy look. Of course I still use the nars radiance concealer in biscuit( old time fav.) and I still use the MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in medium dark. If you have normal skin , I definitely recommend you try this foundation( if you're looking for a medium coverage foundation). 

I used MACs stereo rose as a highlight and MACs sensual sparks lipstick/cork lip liner and Marc Jacobs sweet escape gloss.
