A Beauty Must: Grand Beautè Box

Ladies!!!!!!!!! I really have been shady towards you! I am sorry! I should have posted about this earlier! It would have made a perfect gift idea for you to put on your Christmas list! 

One of my nightlife friends told me she was working on a dope storage box to hold either your cosmetics or jewelry. She was going to make the box in 3 different sizes. Off the bat I loved the idea but couldn't really visualize it!! That was until she showed me the pictures! 

HOLLLLYYYY SH*T!!! What I saw was nothing compared to what I visualized in my head. They come in 3 distinct sizes: Petit, Moyen and Grand. The drawers are deep and long and heavy! The quality of the Beautè Box is phenomenal! It weighs about 10-15 pounds and has stoppers on the bottom so it doesn't slide all over. Best part about the boxes are the interchangeable knobs! 

I have the Grand box and all of my makeup fits comfortably in each draw (thank God!) As you can see from the pictures below it holds ALOT. I will be purchasing two Petit boxes in the near future to be sure not to overpack my Grand Box!

OOTD: Winter White Weekend

Two weekends ago my cousin had a her birthday party at the Yotel in New York City (I have to assume that people other than New Yorkers read my blog). Before this I had never gone to the Yotel. I was uber excited because I have heard nothing but good things about it. 

I decided to bust out an all white fit! I don't know if I ever told you guys but I get food and makeup on EVERYTHING!!! So wearing white is a very adventurous thing for me! I paired a white blouse with white jeans and a blush moto jacket from Forever 21 topped off with a pair of snake skin Lady Daf's from Christian Louboutin . I think this outfit is the definition of Hi-Lo's but you can be the judge. 

Ahh before I forget my boss gifted me the CUTEST Emilio Pucci-esque clutch! I have had it for a couple of months and thought it was the perfect addition to the outfit because it pulled in the all white and the jacket!!! Enjoy the pics and tell me what you think!

Impulse Cosmetics: Melancholy Opaque Matte Lipstick

Like I stated in my previous post I love matte lipstick! I feel like you can mold the shape of your lip and not have to worry about your lipstick bleeding everywhere. I am always searching for the perfect matte purple and I think I found it.

As I scrolled this Pinterest I saw this picture. 

I IMMEDIATELY sent this to about 4 of my good friends to get their opinion and they all said "GET IT". I clicked on the picture and was brought to a Etsy link that broke my heart because it said it was no longer available. But everyone knows I am resilient. I did a little research and found Impulse Cosmetics' website. All of the below lippies are available on there website!  They are beautiful colors and to top it off they are all $6.99! 

Yes, you read correctly $6.99. I immediately ordered Melancholy and another color (which escapes me at the moment). One downside is you have to purchase something called a Mattifying Lip Powder to make the lipstick fully matte (in my opinion that means the lipstick isn't truly a matte). The powder comes in a sample size and a whole size. I ended up purchasing the whole size because I figured I could use it with other lipsticks. 

Hopefully, I will get this before my vacation on Monday! It would be a perfect addition to my NYE outfit!

Drugstore Finds: NYX Cosmetics, Black Opal and ELF Studio

The worse thing for me is being on my cell phone and browsing the aisles of any drugstore! Damage can be done in a matter of minutes... 

Let's discuss what I picked up on Sunday

1) ELF Studio Smalls Angled Brush- I bought this solely for filling in my eyebrows. I am really a pencil kind of girl but I decided new year new things! 

2) ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit- duh. You knew this was coming after the Angled Brush :-) . I have heard and watched nothing but amazing reviews on this product. 

3) ELF Studio Matte Lip Color- I have been in love with the matte look lately. It stays fresh all day long! No one wants a sloppy red lip.

4) Black OPAL Cosmetics Foundation Stick- let me say this! I CANNOT WAIT to try this out!!!! OHHH MMMMM GGGGG ! When I have time away from my hectic schedule I usually watch hours worth of YouTube videos and people rave about these! So I made a mental note to pick this up! I really hope I fall in love with this product like others have.

5) NYX Dewy Finish Spray- I live for dewy skin. Which to me is stupid since I have such greasy skin but to each is own. 

6) ELF Cosmetics Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder- this is the only product on my list that I have already purchased. I love this. It reminds me a lot of the NARS Orgasm and Laguna set! Definitely dupe worthy! I was beating the pan on my old one so I decided to purchase a new one. 

I will do a review and get back to you once have played with these purchases.
