Grunge in 2015

I am a sucker for the 90's grunge look. Only thing is I was dawning diapers for most of the 90's. Grunge is making a comeback and I can finally take part in this glorious fashion fad, fancy that eh? 

For work I sport black, white, or khakis, blah. Of course I try to have my fun with it and makeup makes my life happy on work days. 

There is no surprise to me that when people with their phones glued to their faces and their heads up their asses see me outside of the work place they don't catch on that I'm that sweet yet sassy little bitch who makes them coffee or sells them makeup (and also know too much about their personal life). 

Soooo my grungy love affair in 2015 looks as followed. Modern yet fairly true to the classic grunge that so many love. 

Hat- forever21 

Sunglasses- target 

Fringe kimono- forever21

Plaid sleeveless shirt/dress- target (got mine 2 sizes too big and in red. Green and black are also sold) 

As for my shoes. My current obsession in my closet, they're from target and although they hurt my feet like a bitch they have been rendered my 90's witch party shoes and I love them to death! 

Oh yea. The belt is from Charlotte Russe I believe. 

There it is. My grunge fashion for 2015. 

Sunday Morning Autumn Outfit

Ahhhhh. There's nothing like waking up on a Sunday off work and drinking coffee in your jammies. But when your day starts you might want to reconsider your bulky men's pajama pants and oversized t shirt. Autumn is upon us here in Michigan and as much as I love some good lounge wear, I'd rather not run errands fresh outta bed. 

Rundown of a typical outfit that ensures comfort, casual cuteness, and a wallet that isn't completely violated by your love for fashion. 

Head to Toe: 

Denim jacket: target (I got mine second hand from the thrift store for $4) 

Scarf: Target. Simple knit infinity scarf in maroon. 

Sweater: Men's Sweater from Forever21 Men's. Perfect oversized sweater for light warmth and maximum comfort. 

Leggings from target, obviously any will do. 

Shoes are black ankle booties, also from target, with a back zipper that is lined with red fabric. (My shoe choice was based on the fact that I love wearing heels but I almost paired this outfit with brown riding boots, feel free to opt for a more comfortable shoe of your choice, or don't) 

Jewelry! 

Michael Kors Blair Watch in Rose Gold

Gold Midi ring (either from target or Wal Mart) 

Hair was styled into a simple messy bun. I love this kind of outfit with a bun due to the scarf. 

Makeup can go anyway. You can do a bold lip and eye, smoky eye & nude lip combo, or very light and natural looking makeup all around. Or do what I did and not wear any. 

So there ya have it. A simple comfortable, casual, cute outfit that is simply put together with items you probably already own. 

Bebe use BB?

Being a female who doesn't like the way most foundations look on my skin but wanting a nice creamy covered finish is a difficult scenario to resolve. More recently there is a big buzz around BB creams, so naturally I did some research on what bloggers and gurus recommend and made a purchase. 

I got the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector on Combination to Oily Skin. 

We can start with the obvious. 

It's SPF 20, so that's good. Who doesn't love makeup with skin care? 

But I later realized that is product states its main purpose as a sunscreen. What?? 

It says in the directions to reapply at least every 2 hours! 

I was excited to get something that had positive reviews and could end my battle of daily spot covering and naked face embarrassment. 

I was disappointed. This product is an apparent sunscreen but it's a very thick consistency. It's basically foundation and I fully disliked it just as much as all of my foundation endeavors. 

Now my poor review isn't by means me telling you to not get this. It could easily work for you and not me. I've only tried a handful of BB creams and though I wasn't pleased you may be. 

Also. This product, like most BB creams have a very limited variety in colors available. 

 

Prime Time!

Have you ever watched makeup tutorials on Youtube? If you have you know that most of them start with applying a facial primer. A face primer is normally a mineral infused serum that minimizes the look of fine lines and pores, makes your foundation application smooth, and helps keep makeup in place and last a pretty long time. You may also realize that the primers used in these videos are by well known makeup brands and are pretty pricey. Being a young female who works in retail, I normally don't have $50 to spend on makeup. And who wants to spend that much when you can get something that works just as well for only $6??? YUP! $6! E.L.F makeup is amazing and cost so little. A few days ago I decided to go to target and get some primer by E.L.F and I LOVE it. I've used a sample primer by MAC a few times and it was great. After using both MAC and E.L.F I can honestly say there is no difference, except for the price. MAC primer will run for about $30 and E.L.F is well...again $6. So, if you live in a place where it is swiftly becoming a winter wonderland outside, gear up and head to target!
