LIP STICKS and WHAT THEY ARE MADE OUT OF!

Yesterday, I spend my whole entire day with my friend Jarid that I have not seen for 7 years! We were hanging out at Neiman Marcus because I had to pick up a eye cream for my lovely mother. So, I have been trying out new lipsticks lately and I realized that a lot of cosmetic brands are coming out bright lip colors, just like how color blocking clothes are huge for this season! So Jarid asked me a question that "What does lipstick made out of?" and I thought I could do some research and find out an answer for him!


Me being silly next to  Jarid! I was wearing an Estee lauder Pure color  longlasting lipstick in the color "WILD FIRE" it's a limited edition color!


So according to Wikipedia: "Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color and texture to the lips" There you go Jarid!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipstick here is a link if you would like to find out more the history about LIPSTICK! I think it's really interesting!

Let's look at what colors are in trend for the SRPING!

 I love this pictures, it has all these bright, fun colors that normal people will not normally use. But, if you find a cute color for your lips, why not play with it?
 Blue lipstick, Amber Rose pulled it off very well and I love her fun personality.
 Lillac color lipstick, I think only Lady Gaga can do it. Or if you have similar complexion. It will be cute!
 Dolce and Gabbana, the company picked the perfect model for this lipstick. Scharlette Johnson has very sexy lips to present this red color.
 Nude color, Aoki Devon, she is one of my favorite model. This matte lipsticks looks great on her! Always pair nude colors with smoky eyes or when you want to do a heavy eye shadow.
 I just love how nice this purple color is in this picture!
 Coral!!!! Big color this season! This Estee Lauder lipstick is very creamy and easy to apply.
 Chanel, she is one of the youngest model~ Even though you are young, you can still do dark colors. She is wearing a dark purple here.
 Peachy lip color, J.Lo always wear the best natural coral lip gloss or lipstick. And they look great on her complexion.

Black lipgloss. I think this is very interesting.


So are you ready to hunt your new lipstick for this spring? Get a different color that you would not normally wear and have fun with it! 

I am gonna show you guys the TOM FORD lipstick that my friend bought me in CHERRY LUSH. It is very nice on. I hope you guys will like it!

Shades

So SPRING is coming soon. Are we ready for some bright sunshine? Now, it is the perfect time to find the perfect pair of sunglasses to protect our eyes and style up your outfits!!!

So I purchased a couple pair of sunglasses lately and I love them so much. Even though I do not have many pairs of sunglasses but I started to fall in love with sunglasses. They are so useful and yet they are very fashionable if you find the righ pair for your face shape and your style!

I tend to like sunglasses with plastic frames, but I am also a big fan of avaitors. Because they just match with everything!! When I shop, that is not what I look for.

Sunglasses that I own! Check them out.
My new favorite!! Chloe- this is sort of vintage looking and I adore the color! It comes in three shades.

Marc by Marc Jacobs, this pair is very affordable $98 +tax. I like the shape of it!


You gotta have a pair of Ray-Ban. Throw them on with any outfits. It will do the trick ;)


I got this pair as a gift ftom my friend. He actually bought it at St. Marks. I love the square frame and the gold details on the side!

I hope you will find the fun sunglasses for this coming Spring and Summer!

Brands?

I know when it comes to shopping, people spend their money differently. Some people would spend money on all the brand clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry etc... However, to me I try to mixed and match with high and low. Since not everyone can afford expensive brands, so the smarter way to dress is to buy one or two expensive key items and mixed it with some affordable pieces. The result will be quite interesting. There are a certain items that I would invest my money in because I can always those pieces often with my everyday outfits!

1. Bags
2. Watch
3. Shoes
4. Jewerly
5. Coats and jackets

1. Black balenciaga bag- I love this bag and it's very versatile! You can wear it with jeans, dresses, skirt! And the bag is a good size which can carry all our needs!


Chanel chain bag- This is classic! I don't think any ladies out there with disagree with me. Chanel also offers such a wide range of colors so you have options for your outfits.

2. Watches-


Rolex- one of the best watch that everyone wants to own! I love the blue and the gold combination. Timepiece is worth to spend money one! It will last you a life time.



Nixon- I like men's watches. The oversized look catch attention on a women's thin wrist.

3. Shoes-

Women cannot live without shoes, that's for sure. Especially heels!! Think about all the expensive brands: Christian Louboutin, YSL, Lanvin, Manolo Blahnik, Valentino, etc.

I love both of what they are wearing. The Valentino shoes to the left is what I would DIE for!! They are gorgeous! And Alexa Chung always has very good taste when it comes to shoes!

YSL!!! These shoes!! I don't need to say more! They are very creative!

4. Jewelry



Olivia is one of the celebrities who has extinguish taste for jewelry. She always wear big necklaces! I remembered seeing her one time at my old job. She was wearing a gold Rolex watch with big gold rings.  Even though her outfit was simple but she definitely play it up with her jewelry.


Isn't this beautiful?

5. Coats

I know that winter is almost gone but having a great coat is just like having the perfect pair of shoes! It will totally brighten up your outfits.

I usually do not like red. But this Zara coat is really pretty and I love how they use the big silver buttons! This is adorable!
