Luxe Girl

Spring is approaching us fast so ladies we must bounce back from the winter. So, girl go ahead and start shaving so you can show those legs and arms you’ve been hiding under hoodies, sweatpants, sweat shirts and leggings. While you’re at it, trade in your UGGS for flip flops. That means break out your nail bag and get ready for pastel colors on your toes and fingers. Those soft colors will be the backdrop to the perfect spring. The go to colors for spring are pastel yellows, pinks, powder blues and mint greens. Have your favorite nail tech on speed dial so you can get in and out of the nail shop. I hate waiting so I book those quick appointments in between classes. Don’t get caught slipping. For those of you who have other responsibilities invest in gel polishes, so you don’t have to go to the nail salon as often as you would with acrylic nails and regular gel polish. You can even purchase your own gel color and do them yourself in the comfort of your own home. That also goes for you working women DIY a spa night at home and just cater to yourself in a fun an inexpensive way.

Get ready to save a lot of money. So you’ve been really craving Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette ($49, ulta.com)? Well I got an extra sweet alternative! MAKEUP REVOLUTION! Yes I said it this brand has the dupe for you. Makeup Revolution Naked Chocolate Palette consists of 16 matte and shimmer shades. You can find this palette in Ulta stores and online at www.ulta.com for $15!!! Makeup Revolution has various Chocolate palettes for $15 each at Ulta. You don’t have to break your pockets to look Glam!

I recently got a Morphe Copper Spice palette for Christmas and so far, I have no complaints! This palette has some of the most amazing earth tones I have ever seen in one palette. This palette comes with 25 colors ranging from nudes to black. This palette included some shimmering shades of brown and gold. Blending comes easy with this palette. I was very impressed with how pigmented these shades are in comparison to other palettes (won’t be shady towards other brands). You can use this palette for the day or night. Yesterday I used a dark brown, black and gold for a shimmering Smokey eye. Today I used a light brown, shimmering copper and gold for more of a sunset kind of look. These palettes are available online on there website at www.morphebrushes.com or you can find them in store at Ulta or www.ulta.com. If you look on retail me not Ulta have a coupon you could use to score a deal. I used real technique brushes with these palettes and later I will purchase the Morphe brushes to see if these brushes are as good as everyone claims. I highly recommend this palette and the price is unbeatable!

Which one will you choose for your New Years Eve?

​

It is the most wonderful time of the year! With the snow almost falling and boots that keep calling. Hope your full of cheer! It’s the most bootiest time of the year!

Now which boots do you where for a night on the town?

Hands down thigh highs should be worn when your heading out with your girlfriends or on a hot date that will end in pleasure!!! Thigh high boots can be paired with a short skirt ensemble or short dress. I love pairing my thigh high boots with a short body con dress or short sweater dress.

Ankle boots aren’t my favorite type of boots but since my honey bunny decided to get my olive-green boots from Charming Charlie's for $39.99! When I wear my ankle boot I will pair them with a cute thick sweater and skinny jeans.

Either one you decide to wear make sure the outfit is sickening with accessories to match!

So it's almost Christmas and you still haven't gone shopping yet? Good thing I been did it and I don't have to go through the hustle and bustle to get through old ladies, baby strollers and irritated employees. So if your on a budget go into Sears who regularly give out free cash when you sign up on their website or with a sales associate. Burlington is the store to go to when your on a budget and don't worry about the long lines because they are fully staffed with cashiers in each lane (unlike Walmart). Ross is always a good place for gifts but watch out for grumpy people who come in. If the person you are shopping for loves clothes then Target is the place for you now if your pockets are a little thin I suggest Rainbow or City Trends. You can ball on a budget. Men clothes are always a pain for me because I have no idea what guys like but thank god I know my man well enough to get him his favorite shirts from Express. Now if you are still at a loss then go to Hobby Lobby and Michael's for crafts and make something by hand.
