Hot Pink OOTDs

Who says because summer is over you can't wear blindingly bright colors? I thought I'd spruce of the neutrals I've been sporting and stand out. I mean, in worse case scenario, if there was a natural disaster, I'd be easy to find.

Vlog: How- To Loose Curls

Loose waves are everywhere and so easy to create and wear. One of the best features of this look is that it only gets better as your day goes on because, loose and messy is in and only adds to the glamour. I was inspired by the VS Fashion Show, and wanted to show you my best attempt at re-creating the look.


It's really simple, I curl it the same way as I did in this curling video, but focus on the middle section of my strands, leaving out differing ends from the curling iron. Also, the smaller curling iron you use, the larger section of hair you'll want to curl, and vice versa for a bigger curling iron (use a smaller section of hair).

What did you think? Are you going to try it out?

Product Review: VS Luminous Mineral Blush Duo


I bought this blush a while ago, in this Recent Purchase post. I've used it a ton and now I'm ready to review it!

Pros:
- Gorgeous colors, four available
- Shimmer is built in and noticeable
- The duo colors naturally contour and highlight your cheeks
- Blends easy
- Lasts several hours

Cons:
- Easy to put on too much, you have to be very light handed and build to the color you want
- Will last through your work shift, but not into happy hour
- Very shimmery, when paired with shimmer eyeshadow it can be too much


The color is so pretty and I am happy with the purchase, but this hasn't made it to my holy grail of blushes. I love the colors available and had a hard time choosing, I also love the shimmer, one less step to do. I plan on buying the hot pink shade, At Last. It's a beautiful pink shade, but I passed initially because I already have MAC Pink Swoon.

Overall, I give this blush a B. I think I might have been happier with the At Last color, but I do love the shimmer and the overall glow the product gives you.

Have you tried Victoria Secret make-up? What do you use and how did you like it?

Favorite of the Week- Toteally Yours




Everything According to Erin



One of my best blog friends, Frances, has opened a side business and sent me this gorgeous tote bag as a gift. I was so, so, so excited and surprised to get a fun package from her. The tote is adorable and I love the design. It's so me, completely my style.

I use a tote bag everyday, I carry stuff for work, go grocery shopping with them, use them to bring stuff to parties/overnighters, etc. Frances has several totes available, you can find them on the Toteally Yours Facebook page and her Toteally Yours Etsy shop.

Thanks again Frances! It was so sweet of you to send me one, I love it!
