A New Twist to an Old Favorite

Ok, I am officially OBSESSED!! Awhile ago I posted about my favorite mascara ever- Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash mascara in black. It is such a sultry mascara that really pumps up the volume of your lashes, and is one of the most essential products in my day-to-day makeup regime. Well, ladies, just when I thought it couldn't get any better, IT DID! Bare Escentuals has come out with a new twist to my favorite mascara: Introducing the Buxom Lash Mascara Special Effects Blue Noir.

I am usually an 'all black' type of girl when it comes to my makeup (and clothing a lot of times hehe)- I always use black mascara and black liner- so switching from my usual pure black to a fierce bright blue was completely out of my makeup comfort zone. However, I took a risk and purchased this product at my local Sephora, not sure how much I was going to like it. I love the original black mascara and all products from the Bare Escentuals Buxom line, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. After being able to use it myself, I seriously couldn't be happier with the look it gives me!

You can go back to my previous post to read about how amazing the original Buxom lash mascara is (Click Here: Fab-YOU-lous: My Secret to Perfect Lashes) This Blue Noir mascara is exactly the same formula as the original black Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash that I love so much- It gives you big, thick, clump-free and flake-free lashes.

The fabulous color is where the Special Effects Blue Noir differs from the original- This blue color may look scary at first on the brush, but once you apply this to your lashes you will be so excited with the results you achieve. The blue is not as bright as it looks at all, actually it is not even close to it- the color is quite subtle, and does wonders on your eyes- it makes your eyeballs look incredibly white and big! You can layer the Blue Noir on alone (trust me it is VERY subtle blue and you can't notice unless you're up close); But if it scares you a bit, you can always put a coat of black on first then layer a few coats of the Blue Noir on top- this will give you an even more barely noticeable blue hint to your lashes.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with this mascara- I adore this color, and I hope you do too if you try it out- You won't regret it!

Verdict= FABULOUS!!! (5/5 stars)

You can purchase the Bare Escentuals Buxom lash mascara in Blue noir at Sephora stores or Bare Escentuals stores.
Retail Price: $18

Want It Wednesday

I am shocked that I haven't written this post yet because this bag is my most wanted/ longest wanted item EVER. This week's 'Want It' item is none other than the timeless Hermès Birkin! *swoon*

Hermès is it for me: the most fabulous luxury brand out there no question! I absolutely adore everything Hermès creates- the craftsmanship of this leather brand is impeccable and unbeatable. A Hermès Birkin starts at around $10,000 for a standard purse. However, Birkin bags can sell for over $100,000- these bags use rare leathers (such as crocodile) and some even have been adorned with diamonds!

Literally everyone that is anyone has one (or many) of these bags. Some celebrity Hermès Birkin lovers are: Victoria Beckham (owner of one of the largest and most expensive Hermès collections in the world), Oprah, Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian, Katie Holmes, every woman on The Real Housewives of NYC, and the list will go on forever... This bag is the epitome of sophistication, luxury and class.

I cannot wait until the day that I walk into Hermès myself and purchase my dream bag- a 35cm Blue Jean Togo Leather Hermès Birkin with Palladium hardware :) Until then, I will continue putting pennies into my Hermès Birkin fund and saving up for my dream bag, which I WILL own before I am 30 years old (goal for myself I made like 4 years ago)! Until then... I will continue dreaming of the smell of Hermès leather every night :)

Trend Alert- Tiffany Blue Nails

Calling all fashionistas- This is one HOT HOT HOT trend for the summer! Tiffany Blue nails are the new thing for celebrities, style icons, and fashionistas everywhere! The Tiffany Blue shade is quite a distinctive color, and is actually trademarked for Tiffany & Co's sole usage; however, this trendy nail shade comes quite close to the coveted color (in the range of turquoise, baby blue, robin's egg blue, etc.)

Chanel started the craze with their "Nouvelle Vague" Le Vernis Nail Colour, which has been seen on A-List celebrities such as Beyonce. Currently, it is completely sold out everywhere (except Ebay of course, for over $100!)
Since Chanel's polish is very pricey, here are a few other options to help fashionistas on a budget accomplish this trend:

The China Glaze "For Audrey" shade fits this trend perfectly- It is a favorite of fashionistas everywhere. You can purchase China Glaze Polish at Beauty Stores and Nail Salons for around $7, the perfect price for trendy ladies on a budget.
"What's With the Cattitude?" from OPI's Shrek Forever After Brights Collection is an amazing color that can be purchased for under $10 a bottle at Beauty Stores and Nail Salons. I personally love OPI polish- it makes up the majority of my nail polish collection- it is a great brand, with funny polish names, salon quality, and at a reasonable price.

The Tiffany Blue color nail polish trend is perfect for the summer time- It is fun, bright, and fabulous! Experiment with this trend and enjoy looking fierce!
