When All Else Fails, Tuck It In!


Fashion is funny sometimes. I can see an article of clothing from across the store and know that I HAVE to have it. It doesn't matter if it's my size, I will make it work when I get home. Take this shirt for example, I found it at my local Marshalls, randomly hanging at the end of a rack without another like it in sight. I grabbed it off the rack, didn't even check the size and purchased it. It was truly love at first sight. Like most "love at first sight" situations, it took me a little longer to figure it out. Where should I wear it to? What should I wear it with? And most importantly HOW should I wear it?  I tried it on a few times and ask my husband for his opinion, each time he said he loved the shirt. I personally just wasn't 100% with it. Each time I changed my outfit and never committed to wearing it. I felt boxy and just NOT like myself. The funny part is, I don't have a "specific" style that is me, but I know when I put something on and it's not me. Boxy clothing isn't me, I am too curvy with too thin of legs to wear it. Boxy tops and boxy dresses, often makes me look larger than I am, by making me look top heavy. I feel most like myself in clothes that accentuate or compliment my body. So I put this shirt in the closet and hoped one day I would figure out how I wanted to wear it. It spoke to me on the hanger, so I wasn't giving up on it.


One day, I was scroll through my instagram and made a complete stop when I saw this picture from Liketoknowit, a fashion app I follow. I thought, how did I not think to wear it like this? Back to basics, just tuck it in! I do remember a time in my life, not so long ago, when I would only wear shirts that I could tuck in. I have since deviated from that but now, as only my obsessive personality would allow, I am back at it, tucking in everything I possibly can. Such a clean and polished look. Plus it makes the clothes I already own, even more versatile. I love clothes and the wonders that they create when worn right.


 I wore this outfit on Christmas Eve, it screams ME! I felt so much like myself, I can't wait to wear it again! I am looking forward to wearing the next shirt I can tuck in too!

MAC VS ELF DAZZLE SHADOW LIQUID VS MOLTEN LIQUID EYESHADOW

Image
Hey guys! Here is my review of MAC dazzle shadow liquid in everyday is sunshine vs ELF Cosmetics molten liquid eyeshadow in Rose Gold. I love doing videos like this because I LOVE finding drugstore dupes that are CRUELTY FREE for my high end makeup, that I am trying to finish up in my project pan! If you like these videos and want to see more of them please give this video a like and subscribe to my channel!! Thank you so much! As of February 1st 2019 every product I purchase professionally and personally is cruelty free. I will no longer support the testing of cosmetics on animals by purchasing products from brands that test on animals. In my 2019 Project Pan, I have a ton of products that were tested on animals that I previously purchased and therefore ignorantly supported animal testing in the past. These products I will use until I am finished and will no longer purchase those brands. In the near future I plan to do comparison videos and blog posts with those said. It’s 2019, ...

Pink To Purple Ombre Eyeshadow Tutorial Using Huda Beauty Electric Obsessions

Image
I created this light pink to purple ombre eyeshadow look using the Huda Beauty Electric Obsessions Palette and the ColorPop Semi Precious Palette. The Huda Beauty Electric Obsessions Palette is the only Huda Beauty product that I own. From the moment I saw it on the Sephora website, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. The palette is very different from colors I would normally gravitate towards but I'll tell you, I gravitated right to it! And to date, it hasn't disappointed yet. The pigment is amazing and reliable. The ColorPop Semi Precious Palette is the same situation, the one and only ColorPop product that I own. If you are a freelance makeup artist, like myself, and you don't have the ColorPop Semi Precious Palette.. let me tell you that you NEED it. I rarely create looks without using a color from this palette. I honestly can't remember what I was even using for the past 12 years of makeup artistry before I added this into my collection. Both of these pal...
