Hi loves!
I know you're thinking, '20 days? Thats kind of a while from now!' Well I know, but a woman's gotta plan her outfit and stuff!!
I am so excited, I turn 25 in just a few weeks and I'm having a huge bash! Hubby wanted to throw a surprise party and told the entire world about it, but then told me! Isnt he crazy?! He told me because a friend of mine kind of gave it away and he felt obliged to let me know so no one else ruins it for him. He'd rather tell me first and then have me be a part of some of the planning. I really dont enjoy surprises ANYWAY, but in some way it would have been nice not to know about it! Either way, now that I DO know, I am anxious and cant help but go insane about my outfit, jewelry, nail color, shoes, hair-do andddd yeah, OF COURSE, decorations!! It HAS be the best party ever, and with my Hubby's help (because he's simply amazing) and my own touch, it will look and be FAB!
So, I'm writing this post about my outfit... really wanted to share the look I am going for and what I will be wearing as of late. I purchased an adorable outfit and some accessories - also have the shoes to boot! I am on a roll!!

Armani Exchange: Macrame Dress in Camellia
Boutique9: Basia Sandal
Betsey Johnson: Polka Dot Heart Charm Bracelet
Juicy Couture: Snakeskin Leather Cuff
I wont be wearing a necklace (too much going on with the color of the dress and accessories and shoes, a necklace will make me look gawdy!)
I will also be wearing Gold heart shaped earrings with diamonds in them. They are studs and were given to me for Christmas 2 years ago from a family friend who happens to be a professional diamond and jewelry buyer. She knows her stuff AND the earrings are fab!
My nails will be done by me! I actually wont tell you the look just yet because it is a really fun and cool nail art creation that I saw here in the Blog World and I would like to make a post and tutorial on it! I will be doing this post before my birthday so stay tuned!!
My MAKEUP LOOK is yet to be determined! Now that I am a Professional Makeup Artist I will be doing my own makeup, I just havent contemplated something sassy and HAUTE yet! Stay tuned!
I will be having a professional hair stylist come to my home and do my hair the day of. Here is the look I absolutely love and pretty much believe will be the ONE!

Although I appreciate your comments and criticisms - so go ahead and PLEASE tell me what you think! If you dont like it, recommend something! I just might change it up!

Hey Babes!
Within the first week of every month I will be posting a favorites post for the previous month! I always find it helpful when I read other blogs and find out all the juicy gossip on what people are loving! I suppose you all will love it too!
Here are my July Favs!!
I have heard awesome reviews about this and I had to have it! After realizing there is no wrong way to use this product, I fell in love! How can you not? It's the perfect color to give you that bronze, sun kissed look! It is a mousse-like texture and very creamy! I have not had any breakouts from it! It blends perfectly! You can apply this after foundation or without foundation! A MUST BUY! USA Cost @ Macys is $48.00.
These two lip products are a match made in heaven! The Mac Satin Lipstick line is extraordinary! The lipstick just glides onto your lips and for me, always stays on so well! I haven't used a lipstick from them I didnt love! Siss is a nude color, satin finish and creamy. I am fair skinned so in the winter this may not look too good on me, but in the summer when I am tan it literally matches my skin tone and lip tone!
This mascara BLEW ME AWAY! I did a post a few months ago on how I was trying to find a dupe for DiorShow Mascara, and I had finally came across Benefit BadGal Lash! Okay.. so I went from paying $24.50, to $19.00, to $7.99 AND this infamous $7.99 product helps my lashes grow... when the other two expensive products DID NOT! UHM BEAT THAT GOOD DEAL! I absolutely LOVE this mascara because it is literally THE SAME BRUSH as DIORSHOW -& BADGAL LASH! I compared them all side by side and tested the bristles! YUP, same ones! They even fit inside eachothers tubes! We all know what makes the mascara is the brush, lets be real here. The product inside, yes, can vary and sometimes even dry out quicker. Although, with these three, they compare in all those categories, THE SAME! - As far as lashes growing... I have been using this product for about 4 months now and I have seen a significant growth in my lashes and even thickness. I always used to joke on my posts how I have 10 lashes on each eye... I literally have like 25 lashes on each eye now. haha ok, not literally because I dont count them, but I am saying they have almost tripled in amount! I wont stop using this product, and I hope you all start! Let me know how you love it!

| Top: Mac Satin Lipstick Siss Bottom: Revlon Lip Gloss in Pink Pop |
Revlon's Lip Gloss is not sticky and does not taste bad! If you have read my previous posts you know I hate bad tasting lip products! YUCK! But not this one! It doesnt taste like anything (which is a PLUS+!) and it's long lasting! I am a lip product licker-offer.. lol if that makes any sense! These two take me a while to lick off, and I absolutely LOVE that!

ELF COSMETICS FLAT TOP POWDER BRUSH
I LOVE THIS BRUSH! I USE IT FOR EVERYTHING!! I own several of them which I put to use for quite a few things! First, it's called a "POWDER BRUSH" but it can be used with wet products. I apply my foundation with this! It's dense, and soft, does not acquire alot of product AND DOES NOT SHED! Having been given all that information on how great this brush is... let's top it off with IT ONLY COSTS $3!! American dollars that is! I am not sure the cost in other countries, but it can not be much more then $3 bucks!! It's a brush from their Studio Line. Great line of cosmetics and brushes! You just cant go wrong! This brush can be used to apply foundation, blush, bronzer, and any other way you'd like with wet or dry products! Go buy it, I promise you wont regret it!
SEPHORA BRAND PROFESSIONAL BLUSH BRUSH
Another Fav! I use this for my blush and contouring. It's a synthetic angled brush that really applies my products evenly! It really doesnt grab too much product on it at once so it helps when applying your blush so you dont overdo it. You can really have control over the amount you wish to apply! It's costly at about $32.00- But it's worth the money!! I used the Mac 129 Brush for a long long time! It would shed and would sometimes be very unforgiving. Now that's stashed away for other uses, while my Sephora brush is used and abused!

| Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Black |
 |
| Benefit Erase Paste in Medium |
This is a concealer made by Benefit Cosmetics. It is a peachy color. I use this under my eyes because any orangey, peachy color will assist in covering dark eye circles. I do not have dark dark circles, although I have alittle, so this peachy under eye concealer really covers it! I mean, covers it to the point that I even look in the mirror after I apply it and cant believe the cover! They only have 3 color shades. I have the middle color in Medium. I recommend this for anyone looking for that perfect under eye coverup! You dont need to use this with any thing on top either! Just seal it with some powder and you're ready to go!
There you have it lovers! If you have any questions you know how to find me!!
XO!
