Yes yes and YES

Fall In Laurent; BLOGGER Starlet

Oh, YSL, where have you been all of my life? Why is it now that I notice you're beauty? I must really be out of it. Lately I've been so consumed in Dior, Marc Jacobs, Valentino, VWestwood, and Ferrigamo that I forgot too look outside of my style box. I t all started with the perfume(I'm a scent whore) elle YSL. Great scent; adorable bottle. After that I decided to look in on the clothing line for SPRING/SUMMER. I was shocked to find that I loved everything! You'll be seeing a whole lot more YSL. Especially the shoes.

My Blogger Starlet of this month (A new thing I'm trying out)
CHILDHOOD FLAMES
Her style in clean and beautiful.




Here's to you...

Mind, Body & Soul

I would like to share with you all the things that keep me a clean girl. o_O Basically lotions, sprays, deodorants, cosmetics and such


Lotion(s):


Nivea Cream: Marilyn Monroe swore by this cream and so do I. I have dry skin, and this keeps moisturized all day long



Olay Body Quench: On days when I don't feel like using Nivea, I switch to this creme. It has a great smell and makes my skin noticeably smoother. I love almost as I love Nivea.



Body Wash(s):


Caress Exotic Oil Infusions in Moroccan: Ugh this smells SOOO good that it makes me want to stay in the shower for an extra five minutes. And the smell stays on after the shower. Plus it gets me pleasantly clean.



Olay Ribons Body Wash: These are so great on day where I know I'm late and won't have time for lotion. They're basically a body wash and lotion combined.



C.O. Bigelow™ Mentha Body Vitamin Body Wash: This body wash is like a kick in the face in the morning. A great mint smell and tingling sensation. I love using it when I have a cold, clears my nasal passages and gets me in gear for the day.




Facial Care(???):


Dove® Cool Moisture™ Foaming Facial Cleanser: I have acne prone skin and this is perfect for just that. It feels like a thick cream that smooths over my face, that doesn't at all leave me face feeling dry.



Dove Beauty Bar: You can't go wrong with the original. Great to use after my heavy makeup days. And yes, on occasion I travel around with it.



Aveeno Clear Complexions Daily Cleansing Pads: After a week of using this people complemented me on how great my skin looked. I don't use it daily like I used to, but I do if I'm in a rush or feel like my face is dulling up.


Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray: I splurged on this and I am so glad that I did. Sometimes I feel like my makeup is getting dry or my face is getting oily and shiny so I spray this right over the makeup, blot dry and voila! A fresh face. I give this product five stars and I recommend it to everyone I know who wears makeup



Body Scrubs:

Neutrogena Energizing Sugar Body Scrub: I'm not a big fan of body scrubs because they make the bottom of my tub extremely slippery, but I use them to get my dull-and-dried-by-winter-skin ready for summer. This one is perfect! It has a citrus smell and makes me feel polished right after my shower.




COSMETICS


Eyelashes

Maybelline define-a-lash Mascara: Another product that recommend to everyone and swear by. People always ask me if I'm wearing fake eyelashes when I wear this. Plus it's easy to take off.



Maybelline Great Lash Mascara: Everything that you've heard about this mascara are true. It was my first that I've ever used and I will always use it.



Eyes:

Urban Decay: If it's from Urban Decay then I love it!



Lips:


NARS Lipstick in Porte Vecchio, Hindu, and Vera Cruz: These complement my skin tone beautifully:


Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint in nude: Minty and a little color= Pure Lust. Plus it freshens my breath!


Lip Smackers: I don't think I can ever give this product up. Tastes great and makes your lips look great. I love everything from this line.



Face:

Loreal True Match Super Blendable Powder in Nut Brown(C7): Goes smooth on my face, doesn't irritate my skin, lasts long and comes off easily.



Loreal True Match Super Blendable Blush: Just as great as the powder. And a great add on for a night out.


Toilet Seat Covers: Now I know this is weird, but I heard somewhere that Sarah Jessica Parker uses these to blot away excess oil on her face. So I tried it when I went out to a restaurant, and they work! They have silicone or something on it. So whether SJP uses them or not, I don't know but they are great, and free! Lol.



Eyeliner

Prestige Liquid Eyeliner: I have yet to find n eyeliner that works as well as Prestige's. Easy to put on, lasts all day and comes off easy. Just how I like my cosmetics!


MAC Eye Kohl: Great for a smokey or dramatic eye.




Deodorant

Dove Ultimate Clear Deodorant: Goes on clear and keeps you smelling fresh all day long.


Dove deodorant Aerosol: Great for my on-the-rush days, which by now you'll notice that I have a lot of.




Body Sprays: I wear Perfume(cocoa mademoiselle, Kenneth Cole Black, Juicy) but sometimes I like to just use a spray throughout the day. Sounds weird but it's something that I've done ever since middle school.


Victoria's Secret Sheer Body Mist-Pink: I love VS pink line so of course I would fall for the scent as well.



Demeter Fragrance Library: Sex on the beach & Between The Sheets: I love these scents! Perfect for the summer and definitely perfect for a bedroom affair ;)



B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Spray: My all time favorite scent from bath and body. I will be extremely upset if they discontinue this like they do most of my favorites...




WOW! Well that is ALOT! And I still have more, but I think that I'm going to stop here. These are after all my favorites. Plus about 95% of them are easy on the wallet. Just the ways that I like to shop most of the time, hehehe. I recommend all of these to anyone who happens to fall upon this site. Enjoy

Step Into Sring

Now that the weather is heating up (just a bit) I think it's time to change some outfits. Spring is here and I've decided that a little color won't kill me.


I really like these BDG SKINNY ANKLE JEANS. They'll go great with flats and even a blazer.



I think it's also a great idea to lighten the wash(color) on the jeans. These TRUE RELIGION JOHNNY STRETCH JEANS are perfect.




LUX RAILROAD STRIPPED BLAZER. I'm in love with this.



Shirt dresses are definitely on my list.



THREE BUTTON SHRUNKEN BLAZER. I think navy is still appropriate as long as I pair it with a brightly colored scarf or cuff and brightly colored flats



GAYLE RUFFLE TRENCH. A trench is nice and light but still keep you warm. It's even better because it's a vibrant red.



PINSTRIPE HIGH PENCIL SKIRT. I love dressing down with a suit skirt. I'd maybe pair this with a t-shirt(maybe graphic) a chunky necklace and converses or classic laced vans for shoes.



1" ENAMEL BANGLE. I am all for thick, bright bangle(s) this spring/summer.



Yes, this spring is going to be a beautiful one.

Revelations

Late yesterday as I was putting new clothes into my closet from yet again, a shopping spree that not many in my family knew about, I realized something a little shocking. I shop alot. ALOT! This realization occurred because I couldn't find space to put my new clothes so I thought that I might reorganize and clean up a bit. You wouldn't believe how many things I have in my closet that still have tags on them. It wasn't the amount of clothes that made me worried (no of course not, I am a girl after all) it was the ones that I haven't worn. As though I had bought them to forget about them. Is this a problem? A shopping addiction. Yeah. I feel great when buying but.....c'mon. And I always have this notion in my head while I'm shopping that I should get this shirt, or these shoes because I don't have any and they'll come in handy when 'low and behold' I have them buried deep in the"tunnel of lost dreams" (My closet). This revelation has made take a huge step back and examine my life so far:

1. I have been under ALOT of stress
2. I am currently not going to school and feel a little lost and useless in life
3. I'm still feeling the sting after a semi-serious relationship (which was mostly about fooling around)
4. Shopping makes me think about the things at hand
   

I think it was #4 that got to me. The fact that the things that have been happening to me in my life are uncontrollable and cruel(lawyers, family members being physically abused, mother crying every other day, and me being jobless) I liked the idea that if this didn't fit, get another size or if that color didn't suit me find another. OH! and the variety of stores with the nicest sales associates ever (seriously). But now that I have realized this what to do now? Stop shopping. No I think what I'll do first is actually start wearing those clothes, and stop spending so much. (Where the money comes from? Don't concern yourself with such trivial aspects of life o.O) Life is what it is. It isn't meant to be perfect or nice. It is meant to be what it is. Life! So I pledge now to become better and stop my crazy spending ways. To concentrate on school(I signed up again; mental pat on the back) Help my family out, stop falling for useless boys and just become healthy; physically and mentally. 

Besides all this boring talk, here is something I know I need (and kinda just want)

Oh yes, an Apple Macbook Pro. Plus Mac has this thing where they lower the price if your a student. Oh this looks like money well spent. The house computer is used by EVERYONE and always has a problem. This will definitely get me where I need to go in school. 

So ends my craziness (hopefully) Wish me luck!
