Rounding up a few white summer dresses today. I recently purchased this Vince wrap dress which inspired me to write this post. I'm including a mix of options with different price ranges, lengths, etc. While I may not be able to purchase all of these gorgeous white dresses, I suppose a little window shopping won't hurt, will it?

As much as I love dressing up, I will always be jeans and tee type of gal. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of previewing American Eagle and Aerie fall collection. AE is launching a new line of curvy jeans and let me tell you they're extremely comfortable! I love the light wash, high waisted denim, with distressed details (77% cotton, 12% modal, and 9% polyester). I wasn't sure if the denim would be stretchy so I went with size 8 but, I could've easily sized down to a 6. The fitting is a little loose but, I don't mind it. I styled it with this gorgeous new Anine Bing tee that I recently hauled and Fendi Zucca bag. This is my very first pre-loved bag, and I'm so happy with my purchase. I've been dying to get my hands on the Zucca bags, and I found the perfect one on Fashionphile.

The lipsticks are housed in sleek matte black tubes that fits perfectly inside your bag. The slightly slanted lipstick bullet allows a precise application without any feathering or bleeding. These lipsticks go on very creamy and smooth, but it dries down to a matte finish. They are highly pigmented, hydrating and budge-proof. Unlike some of the other matte formula, these lipsticks won't dry out your lips. I love that these lipsticks are formulated without mineral oil, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and it contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances. It's also gluten, talc, and cruelty-free.

Final Verdict:
These lipsticks have a unique gel-like formula with a great color payoff. With a single swipe, it will provide a medium to full coverage finish. The only shade that needed a few more swipes was Raisin since it applies a bit sheer I have to use a liner with that shade for an even finish.
I'm someone who prefers a comfort matte or glossy finish over liquid lipsticks so these are right up my alley. As always, I gravitated towards the nudes, mauves and corals and my favorite shades are Nutmeg, Saffron, Spice, Peony, Cinnamon, Petal, Bloom, Strawberry, and Geranium. These are definitely long-wearing lipsticks but not completely transfer proof. It lasted for hours till I had lunch and I only had to touch up once. I would highly recommend you check these out specially if you're planning on shopping during the Sephora sale.
First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Bendy Avocado Concealer & Kona Eye Stick
I strongly rely on my concealers when it comes to makeup cause I've been a night owl for as long as I could remember. So when a concealer promises to not only help cover my dark circles but it's also superfood-infused I can't contain my excitement!
First Aid Beauty $22 (0.17 oz) sent me all 7 of their new flexible, skin-nourishing concealers. It's meant to act as a second skin, providing weightless full coverage finish without cracking, creasing or caking. The seven shades are formulated specifically for the delicate eye area and, it can also be used to touch-up throughout the day. The concealer is packed with nourishing, clean ingredients including avocado oil, vitamin E, and mushroom extracts to help hydrate, condition and soothe, plus caffeine to help diminish under-eye puffiness and dark circles.
The Bendy Concealers are packaged in a thick tube with a doe foot applicator. The smooth, creamy formula is exactly what I needed cause I always struggle with concealers settling into my fine lines. This is very hydrating as the brand claimed and it does have that skin-like finish. It gives me the coverage I need to look awake and fresh. The coverage is light to medium and, it does a great job covering dark circles and veins. I also love the dewy finish I like to set the concealer with my current favorite Hourglass Veil Powder but, there are times I skip setting it and I had no issues of caking. However, it did fade slightly throughout the day. I only use a few dots and, I use my ring finger to blend out the product the smooth consistency helps to blend out the concealer seamlessly. The only issue would be the shade range it's very limited but, I hope they'll expand the shade range in the future. I use the shade 4 Medium- which is a pretty good shade for my medium tan skin complexion.

But, I didn't notice any depuffing or cooling. The Kona Eye Stick is very nourishing, and since it does a great job hydrating the skin it will be a great product for those with dry under eye area.

Final Verdict:
The first photo was taken with flash and the second was taken without flash so, I hope this will help you with the shade selection. I have been using this concealer pretty often, mostly on days when I need to look put together and I have to rush out the door. I feel like it helps me achieve a natural, no makeup look especially when I use the shade- 5 Tan. Tan runs a bit peachy on me so, it also works as a corrector/concealer. I love the skin-loving ingredients, lightweight, dewy finish formula so, I would highly recommend the FAB Avocado Concealers. As for the Kona Eye Stick, I can't say it did anything extraordinary other than hydrating the skin.
Did you try the new FAB Bend concealer? If so, how'd you like it?

Hello! I recently went on a blazer spree, and I ended up buying quite a few pieces probably more than I needed to. Today I'm going to share how I styled this very budget-friendly blazer two ways. I kept the blazer and bag as the main focus for the first outfit. I styled it with a nude midi dress from Zara and my new Nanushka Minee Croc-Effect Belt bag.
Dress: Zara Blazer: H&M Shoes: Zara (old) Bag: Nanushka Earrings: Zara (old)
For the second outfit I had to attend an event so, I kept it casual and wore a black tee and high waisted jeans. I'm a jeans and tee kinda girl so, this is how I normally wear my blazers on most days. I sized down for the blazer if you're petite I would suggest doing that as well, or you can size up for an oversized boyfriend blazer look. The quality is excellent for the price, and it's also very on trend.
