Vintage: Suit Season

 

Hello Dolls,

 

 

       Hope your having a great start to your week. Right now we are experimenting with two desired trends: Vintage and matching print sets. We both adore vintage pieces especially jewelry in an everyday look, but why not take an adventure. Samantha found two full pattern suits and we have been dying to show you ladies fashionable ways to rock them. Starting with the vintage or retro trend that is on the rise, it is amazing when you actually find authentic vintage pieces. Its fun to add modern pieces to update the look with out losing the true vibe it holds. The two suits we featured are full patterned, also a popular trend, we choose to use solid white pieces to ground the look such as shoes, purses and undershirts. If the matching set is not for you using one piece such as the skirt with a solid top gives you a more comfortable, toned down look. Below are a few ideas we played around with, also showing the full set and other options. We mixed materials such as lace and chiffon to give it a softer look. The shoes are a snake skin material giving us a little edge. a finishing touch with bold jewelry pieces, just enough to stand out but not compete with the clothing. Check out the pictures!

July's IPSY Glam Bag

Hello Dolls,

   I hope you are all having a great start to your week! I know this post is coming a little late but I really wanted to share with yous my IPSY bag from the month of July. IPSY is a monthly subscription website that sends a make up bag filled with five products. It is ONLY $10.00 a month and I'm pretty sure if you pay for the year you may save a few dollars. Now I do not love every product I receive and some items I just do not use personally. However, I make an attempt to try every product and no matter what the items are you receive they are worth way more than $10.00! I have even had offers on instagram (@dreameunoia) to trade items which may help. I was not happy with the June bag however, I am loving this July glam bag and needed to share it with you.

As you can see I received a clear pink bag, which I am obsessed with transparent items right now. I have two other transparent make up bags and i love them because not only can you see everything in them but they are also plane friendly. So during security check you can pull out the make up bag instead of a zip lock bag! Also, I see a lot of girls that are in school using the bags as pencil holders. Either way I'm sure you can find a use for this pretty pink bag. More importantly though...the products! This month we received great products and brands.

The first product is from Sexy Hair (big sexy hair) and it is a weather proof aerosol spray. It is labeled as a humidity resistant spray to help combat frizz. I am familiar with this brand and this is the second product I received under this brands name from IPSY and I really like them. I tried this out all weekend and it feels like nothing!? I know, what? but it really does feel like nothing, it does not leave a film or residue on the hair at all, it is very light. I went kayaking, where you only get splashed slightly and my hair held up great with no frizz.

This next brand is POP beauty, which I am not familiar with. This is the pouty pop crayon in coral crush. I am not a huge fan of this because when applied it actually has a crayon like look. I could never wear this if my lips were at all chapped. It outlines the creases in my lips and it is pretty noticeable. The color is not bad and when I mix it with other lip products the finish is not as noiceable. However, I do not find myself reaching for this product nor would I recommend it.

 

This item I love! This is Coola, which is a brand made up of all organic skincare products. We love organic anything and to have a sunscreen organic is awesome, especially this time of year. They have all kinds of products even products for babies. I highly recommend checking their site out, www.coolasuncare.com. This is great for all ages and genders and perfect for expecting mothers that do not want to put crazy chemicals on their body but need protection.

 Benefit is a great brand that we are both familiar with and use products from. This item is a sample of their Benetint, lip and cheek product. I prefer this on my lips, it leaves a beautiful stand looked. It is a liquid and very  runny which as made me scared to trying on my cheeks. I feel like its a great color, comes out much darker than it actually is, but when I test it on my hand the color ends up on my fingers. I also feel like it would ruin my powder with how liquidity it is. However, I love stains and this is perfect for me, I am Happy with using it only on my lips.

The last product is an eye shadow pallet from BH cosmetics. This is the California Collection consisting of three colors. A deep purple called Hollywood, a natural brown named San Francisco and a golden shade labeled Malibu. I (Mary) am not huge on eye shadows, mainly because of allergies ha!. But ill be honest, I do not have much skill when it comes to eye shadows but when I do try to use shadows these three are my go to shades. So this is perfect for me and I have been experimenting a little. 

 So as you can see you get some great products and not all the products will work for you but if you love make up I am sure you will enjoy receiving these monthly surprises. Plus, you get more than $10.0 worth of products. This July glam bag made me very happy and I think they covered every  area:  skin, lips, eyes, hair and cheeks/lips. I hope you guys take some time out and check out IPSY and any of the products you feel will work for you!

XOXO,

JUNE FAVORITES

Hello Dolls,

Hey ladies hope you are having a great week and a great month! We want to share with you some of our favorite items from June that got us through these sunny days.  Included is a mixture of products that we found helpful to fight against the heat and the humidity all day long, leaving us with a fresh and natural look.  

With the temperatures rising we wanted to find products that helped start our days off clean and refreshed but still moisturized. Biore’s new acne clearing scrub was a great new addition to our morning routine. It not only helps fight acne but also clears and improves your complexion. The scent and exfoliating beads leave you feeling awake and refreshed. Another favorite is rose tea scented body oil by Sabon. We love it as a moisturizer because it’s made of oils, so unlike a lotion it does not lay on top your skin and become sticky in the heat. It is a simple one step process by spraying yourself immediately after showering then dry as normal. Both of these products make our morning routine easy and show lasting results throughout the day.

  

Our make-up favorites for June consist of a few TOO FACED products that leave us glowing. We highlighted the Highlighting Powder Duo in a previous post but we love it so much we wanted to add it to our favorites. The candle light glow is a split pallet, white being a bright iridescent and pink leaving a warmer iridescent glow. Both highlight of your contouring areas by reflecting the sunlight and giving you a natural summer glow. The Sun Bunny palette is a bronzing powder duo also perfect for reflecting the sunlight an adding a natural glow. We love to set a nice base for the highlighter and bronzer to play off of and right now a big favorite of ours is Full Bloom Blush from Too Faced in Cocoa Rose. It’s the perfect go to blush for summer leaving a natural and fresh look.

We only have two lipsticks for June including an old and new favorite. Revlon’s Just Bitten has been out for a while but we love the bight hue of Smitten (030). Mary Dayne prefers a few dabs to get the bitten look but Samantha loves the daring color with a full application. The bright red lips we see in winter can be replaced with this daring pink to give you that same statement look. Our new favorite is Juice Beauty lip gloss. It was a gift in our ipsy bag and has become quick favorite. It has a great orange scent, very smooth and glossy and a brown sheer color. It can complete any look leaving you with a natural glam look.

Last but not least, nail polishes!! We love a finished and polished look by adding fun colors and corky designs. A few colorful June favorites are Revlon’s Minted (85), Salon Perfect Bellini (117) and Sally Hanson insta-dry Lively Lilac (420). Sally Hanson’s new Fuzzy Coat is just the fun we have been looking for, it comes in a variety of colors but we tested in Tweedy (800), a black and white design.

All of these products have been used and abused because we love them so much. We hope you enjoyed our JUNE FAVORITES and get a chance to experience some of these products.

Xoxo,

Samantha and Mary Dayne
