YSL Gloss Volupté Review

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while now, since it seems like I bought this gloss forever ago. Since I’m not doing much of anything thanks to my ankle, now seems like as good a time as any.

I bought the YSL GLoss Volupté in Grenade Pépite, which is a gorgeous watermelon pink.

There are 3 different types of gloss in the line, and this is one of the Golden Shimmers. They also have iridescent shimmer and no shimmer. This gloss is almost opaque, but still a little sheer which gives you great color pay off.

I have no complaints about this gloss. It’s gorgeous and it wears really well. It’s probably my most worn gloss.

On My Face: Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, The Balm Hot Mama, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, YSL Shocking Mascara, Marc Jacobs The Lolita, Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliners

I can’t wait to pick up another one. I kinda have my eye on Rose Jersey, which is a light natural pink with no shimmer.

Stylish Sundays: Okay, Okay

A while ago I professed my love for The Fault In Our Stars and all other things written by John Green.

Well I when I was wandering around Barnes and Noble I found this shirt, and normally I don’t buy tee shirts that have to do with books or movies or anything like that, but I just had to buy this one.

Normally I wear a large in Women’s clothing, but this is a boy cut shirt so I wear a small. I know because my husband is a Medium and his shirts are too big on me.

I wore it with my favorite black H&M pants and my new Valentines socks from Target. It was comfortable and perfect for curling up on the couch and reading. (Which I have to say was another John Green Novel, haul and reviews coming soon.)

On My face: Nars Tinted Moisturizer, Hourglass Hidden Concealer, The Balm Hot Mama, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, YSL Shocking Mascara, and Chanel Glossimer Satinette Lipgloss.

I’m actually a really big fan of this shirt, it’s comfortable and has exactly the fit I like in men’s shirts.

Stylish Sundays: Valentine

Since Friday was Valentines day, I thought I’d show you what I wore when we went out to dinner to celebrate, and what my present that I hinted about on instagram is.

First my present since I’m just dying over it still:

It’s the Kate Spade Cove Street Irini, and it’s absolutely perfect. I am obsessed with Kate Spade and have wanted a K.S. Purse for quite sometime. Since my husband noticed I’ve just been grabbing my wallet when I go out lately, he decided that this one would be perfect because it’s small and it’s a crossbody.

I love the lining because it’s brightly colored and makes grabbing anything an absolute breeze, which isn’t a problem right now because my wallet takes up most of the space, I need to get a smaller wallet, and I’ve already picked out a couple I’m in love with.

This is honestly the most perfect present I could ever ask for.

To dinner I wore:

V.S. Pink Long Sleeve Top, The Limited Tweed Mini, Hue Opaque Black Tights, Sam Edelman Calypso Flats in Black, Kate Spade Cove Street Irini Bag

Kate Spade Patent Bow Belt

Kate Spade Square Stud Earrings and Skinny Mini Necklace.

On My Face: Nars Sheer Glow, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, YSL Shocking Mascara, Caudalie Lip Balm, The Balm Frat Boy, The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer, The Balm Hot Mama worn as shadow, Lancome Brown Eyeliner, Lancome Metallic Taupe shadow

All said it was a lovely day. What did you do for Valentines?

The Balm Cosmetics Haul

I’ve been hearing good things about The Balm for awhile now, but I’m always hesitant to buy anything that I’m not able to swatch. But I know that Miss Cannady loves Hot Mama and that Leighannsays is a big fan of their products so I decided to pick somethings up.

I picked up Hot Mama:

Frat Boy:

and Mary Lou Manizer

I couldn’t resist swatching before these photos were taken, so sorry about that. And Speaking of Swatches, I made sure to do a set of swatches for you guys.

I haven’t worn them yet, but I kinda really can’t wait too. It’ll be nice to wear something other than Deep Throat by Nars for a change. Because even though I’m pretty sure it’s my all time favorite, sometimes I just want something different.

I definitely want to get some eyeshadows from the Balm next, but I’m torn between Meet Matte Nude or Nude’Tude. Is there anything else you think I need to try from The Balm?
