Sneaker Wedges

Sneaker wedges are back again and I am loving the new patterns and colors. This seasons wedge trend is on the top of everyone's fashion list. From A list celebrities to the average Jane like myself are in awe of these stylish sneakers. I personally don't really wear sneaker unless it's to the gym, so when I found a pair of Nike Dunks wedge sneakes I was in love. I like the sporty look of the Nike Dunks because you can wear it with a tee and leggings and look relaxed with a little edge. Today I went to a yoga class with my new Dunks, which  I paired it with my gray bicycle shorts, a tee and my nike hoodie and it looked really fab. I would say the best places to get wedge sneakers are Nordstrom, nike.com, bloomy's, amazon and many other retail places. Below is my OOTD and assortment of wedged sneakers. The Nike Dunks are $125 @nike.com
Tee $5 @forever21
Shorts $5 @forever21
Nike hoodie $35 @amazon.com

Organizing your makeup for less then $15

Hello beauties.
 A lot of us beauty bloggers and non beauty bloggers have tons of makeup and find it very hard to keep them organized. Well I found a cheap way to keep all your makeup in one place for less then $15. In the first image I have my makeup stored in a mesh stationary holder that I bought from the $1 tree. It holds a lot of my small makeup like my Nars and MAC blushes, concealers, MAC paint pots, MAC fluid lines, Eco lip balm etc. It keeps everything in arms reach for easy acess in the morning. The second image is a lipstick holder. I ordered this on eBay. The price on this was only $5 which was a steal. It holds 12 tubes of lipstick of all lipsticks brands. I use it mostly for my MAC lipsticks. The last image is a makeup holder that I bought on eBay also and that was also $5. I had to bid on this one, It started at 1 penny and I won it for $5. I use it to hold all my MAC pigments and glitters, and my MAC lipglass. In the center of the makeup holder are smaller holes to hold lip pencils and eye pencils. All together I spent a total of $11 for all 3 makeup organizers! You can't find a great deal
like that anywhere. Well  I hoped I help with the frustration of finding a makeup organizer that isn't going to break the bank.

❤️Taj meet Jolie❤️

Hey beauties, I'm back for another Nars review. Just in the mail today, Nars blush Tahj Mahal and Nars eyeshadow duo Jolie Poupee. Tahj Mahal is a orange with gold shimmer. It's a very nice summer color that can be used on top of your bronzed or by itself to give off a sun kissed look. Jolie Poupee is a duo purple eyeshadow palette. One side is a lavender shade and the other is a purple with a bit of shimmer. For an all purple eyeshadow look I would recommend the lavender on the lower eyelid with the  purple in the crease, or you can apply the lavender all over the lid and on the outer corner you can place the purple for a smokey look. These two compact cases are very pigment and you only need to apply just a little bit. Also don't forget to apply an eyeshadow base for a longer lasting look.
