Home Sweet Home 101

 

I've always been obsessed with home interiors but I think it has definitely gone to a new level now that I find myself buying furniture for my non existing apartment.... 

And by non existing I mean I don't have one, at least not yet but when I do (which will probably be another year from now) I am pretty much ready to move in fully furnished because I have definitely started to rack up on home furniture and decor for my future place. 

When it comes to my vibe and aesthetic these are a few of the key things I look for and like when I decorate any of my living spaces

MWAH lippy chic

The Deets:

Lip Liner- NARS Velvet lip liner in Patong Beach ($20)

NYX Matte Creame in Abu Dhabi ($6)

MAC Luster Lipstick in Hug Me ($15)

I am not usually one to wear lip products, but with matte lips being a big trend (thanks King Kylie) I've given into peer pressure and started smearing some stuff on my lippies. 

As per usual I wear a combination of products (listed above) to give me the right shade that I am aiming for! 

These three products are way cheaper than the Kylie Lip Kit and while I haven't tried the Kylie product I am just about positive that these products will give you just about the same kind of look as one of the Kylie Lip Kit colors (No clue which one exactly, but you probably know better than I do) 

You can most definitely wear them separately - in fact I recommend it. Even the lip liner! Just line your lips and fill them in with the pencil and throw on a coat of chapstick and VOILA! 

Keep reading to see what my secret weapon to get the exact same look all in one product!

Come to yo senses darlin'

I think you know you're an adult when you choose to spend your money on fancy smelly water rather than over priced poor quality clothing... 

I mean if that doesn't scream "hey look I'm adulting" I don't know what does

The key to smelling good and finding "your special scent" is mixing fragrances. I do it all the time and I feel like a freakin chemist. 

Just do it, mix em all and spray em all- and a lot 

Really drench yourself in the smelly rose water ladies 

(use your discretion obviously- we want to smell good not like we just bathed in perfume)

I'm back, and it's summer.
