USMOOTH Hair Products Review

Nowadays, it’s so difficult to find hair products that are safe and healthy for your hair.

Recently, I’ve been testing out usmooth luxury hair products and I absolutely adore them. I have tested out the 1″ Styling Iron, Enhance Curl Lotion, Flex Medium Spray, Volume Condition, and Volume Cleanse.

To start off, the package design is very minimalistic, which I really like. The logo comes off very eco-friendly. The products are infused with sunflower oil, which leaves your hair feeling soft and appearing shiny. My two favorite products are The Enhance Curl Lotion and the Styling Iron. I really liked The Enhance Curl Lotion, because it helped tame my naturally curly hair and left the texture feeling very smooth. I really liked the Styling Iron, because of its sleek design, small size and adjustable temperature setting. I highly recommend these products, so be sure to check them out for yourselves (linked above)!

Gucci Loafers: A Look for Less

Gucci Loafers: A Look for Less

Gucci loafers are beyond pricey! There’s no need to spend over $500 when you can get a look-alike pair for under $30. Yes, the Gucci ones are real leather and made in Italy, but as a college student I don’t have $500 to throw away on shoes. These Forever 21 loafers look almost identical! They feature the slight heel, open back, faux leather, almond toe, and high-polish bar. These shoes are great to wear with any outfit, whether you’re trying to achieve a chic street style look or a modern business woman look. I absolutely adore these loafers, because they’re so comfortable and beyond trendy at an affordable price for all.

The exact loafers I purchased are currently not on the site right now (probably sold out), however I will link the metallic ones available, along with another inexpensive option. Be sure to keep an eye out for when the black ones arrive back on the Forever 21 site!

Top 5 Lipsticks for Winter

January 6, 2016January 7, 20161 Comment

In my opinion, lipstick is a girl’s best-friend. Lipstick not only attracts a lot of positive attention to the face (depending on the intensity of the color), but there’s just something about wearing lipstick that strengthens the confidence of most girls. It’s so easy to feel beautiful with the right lip color on.

I love to have a variety of different lips colors throughout my makeup collection. Even if I’m in a rush and find myself with no time to put on other makeup, I still always make sure that I throw on my lipstick. Dark, rich lip colors for this season is always the way to go! I have compiled my 5 favorite lipsticks that I just cannot get enough of this Winter. These lipsticks that I’m going to mention range from low-end to high-end.

Also, just incase you were curious to know, my two favorite drugstore lipstick brands would have to be Maybelline and Revlon. My two favorite high-end lipstick brands would have to be MAC and NARS.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor- Plum Perfect (435)
This lipstick is affordable, has a creamy texture when applied, and radiates a beautiful color off your lips.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor- Rum Riche (280)
This is my favorite lipstick! This color reflects very well off tan/olive skin tones. It has a creamy texture when applied, and its amazing color stands-out just the right amount!
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor Buffs-Espresso Exposed (955)
This is color is not too light and not too dark! The pigmentation is very nice.
Smash box Be Legendary Cream Lipstick- Fig
I love this color. This lip color is very creamy, so if you’re into more of a matte lipstick then that may be the only downfall! The color is beautiful and goes well with all skin tones.
Nars Lipstick- Scarlet Empress
This lipstick color speaks for itself. NARS lipsticks tend to be quite expensive, but they’re so worth it. This lip-color is bold and extra pigmented. The beautiful color gives off an edgy look. It’s also semi matte, so it’s the perfect mix!

I hope you enjoyed these lipstick suggestions for this Winter season! Please like, comment, and follow! I would love if you comment back what some of your favorite lip colors are for the Winter!

The Fur Craze

January 4, 2016January 6, 2016Leave a comment

As most of you have seen, fur coats have made quite the comeback! Whether it be a loud pattern, like cheetah, or a fierce dark color, fur coats are back to claim their spot in the world of fashion.

It’s important when purchasing fur to make sure it is fake fur (also known as fun fur or faux fur). Fake fur is made up of synthetic fibers designed to resemble real fur. Many organizations, like Peta, release articles discussing why purchasing real fur is so harmful and morally unjust. You can usually tell if fur is fake by the labeling on the clothing item, and of course if the price is cheaper. So, if you’re looking to keep a clear conscience and not be attacked by animal rights activists then I suggest you stick with the fake kind!

Fur coats/vests are simple to wear with any outfit. They add an edge to any look and create a glamorous appeal to whomever’s attention your hoping to catch.

This creme & brown faux fur vest is extremely stylish and comfortable to wear! This vest was purchased at Marshalls. The brand of the vest is Ci Sono. This vest hits at the waist and creates a cozy feel with its high stand-up collar.

This faux fur jacket was purchased from TJ Maxx. The brand of the jacket is called Retro by mejane. This ivory color is beautiful to pair with any outfit.

I kept my outfit chic & casual with thigh high boots from Charlotte Russe, high-waisted jeans from Pac-Sun, a loose tank from Marshalls which has the saying “Fashion Addict”, and lastly my faux fur coat in dark grey from Forever 21. The bag is from Forever 21 and the necklace is from Charlotte Russe. This outfit was greatly enhanced just by adding this glamorous fur coat!

For some more fur coat inspirations, I highly recommend the tv series Scream Queens on Fox. All the female characters in this tv series are usually wearing amazing fur coats in just about every episode!
