MAC Dupe!

DUPES!

 So, because we all just love dupes, I thought I would share this since the actual lipstick is no longer available at MAC Cosmetics.

This is a dupe for MAC's "Talk That Talk, " which was part of the Riri Hearts Collection which debuted in 2013 around the holidays.  It was a limited edition and a lot of the products sold out rather quickly.  I didn't act fast enough and missed out :(

 Although I knew the collection would be kind of a big deal.

On with the program......

This is actually a dupe using all MAC products.

What I used:  MACs lip pencil in "Nightmoth & MACs lipstick "Primrose" from the Proenza Schouler Collection.  This is another one of MACs limited edition collections, so get it while it lasts!!!

Getting the look:  Using the Nightmoth lip pencil, line your lips. Then fill in your entire lip with the pencil.  Use Primrose on top and there you have it.  It is NOT matte as talk that talk is. It does seem to be buildable.  The more liner and lipstick you use the darker it will be. (My lips were a whole lot darker, but that was not the look I was going for so I blotted it some)  Primrose is a lustre so it gives you a bit of a wet, glossy look, but it is also sheer. The liner is where most of the color is coming from. 

Hope you enjoyed :)

Short Hair

Curls + Finger waves!

Finger waves were in style when I was a kid & now they're back!

Style is like a rotating cycle. It always tend to come back around and repeat itself.

Shout out to the ladies at Hot Topic Hair Studio!

Foodie Review!

This past weekend I went to a restaurant in uptown Dallas, Sambuca!

We made reservations, which can be made online. This is a good thing due to the fact we were late and they allow you to make changes to the reservations online as well.  The atmosphere was very chill and laid back with low lighting.  There is a small dance floor as well as a live band present & the crowd was somewhat of a mixture. 

 

What I ordered................

 

 

I ordered the "Flat Iron" which also included mashed sweet potatoes, green beans,

and mac & cheese (not pictured).  I would rate the food 6 out of 10. The mashed sweet potatoes & mac & cheese were wonderful.  The green beans were not my favorite only because I tend to like more of a sweeter taste.  Now for the most important part of the meal.....the steak! I ordered my steak well done which was my first mistake.  I should have ordered it medium well as I normally do. The steak was very charred as pictured above and was not as tender as I would have liked.  The part of the steak that was not charred had a very good taste.  I think I just used poor judgment when placing my order.

All in all I would go back to this restaurant again.  It kind of has a romantic feel and would be perfect for date night! It's also a nice place to go for a nice girls night out! I like to try things a few times before I rule it completely out.  I definitely would go back just to be in the atmosphere.

Hello lovelies!

Just wanted to show all of you my new favorite frames!

 

 

 

 

I purchased these from Sonyabeeboutique.com.  I ran across this boutique on instagram. I absolutely love these.  I love the shape, color......I just love everything about them! Also they were very affordable amongst many other items on the site.

The shipping was fairly quick as well which is always good.

 

If anyone wants to know what lippie I'm wearing, its "Viva Glam II"  with "Right Image" cremesheen lipglass on top, both by MAC. When it comes too lipsticks I am a sucker for nudes!

Anywho, check out this website! She has so many cute, affordable items.
