Maybelline Fit Me Collection: Review

I've never really been that big on makeup, but I figured that since I'm starting college it would be a good time to at least learn the basics of it. The main reason I decided to stick with the Maybelline brand is because I already use their Falsie mascara and I've been really pleased with it. Plus, I didn't really want to spend a lot of money on MAC products because I don't think I'll be wearing it that often.

The Fit Me collection has a wide range of shades which I liked. My shade is 330 in the foundation and powder, and 30 in the concealer. The concealer is the product that I particularly like because I can just dab two or three dots on the dark spots under my eyes and rub it in. I didn't think that I would like wearing the powder because sometimes it can look cakey or dry your skin out; but it's actually very light. I take pretty good care of my skin so I won't really have a need to constantly apply the foundation, but I like that it doesn't make my face feel greasy or oily.

It seems that I've gotten it right on the first try with selecting a foundation/powder/concealer trio.

Boohoo Lottie Cutout Buckle Boots Review

After lusting after these boots all summer, I decided to buy them. I'm beginning to develop somewhat of an obsession with shoes, and my obsession with these began with the Balenciaga Buckle Strap Ankle Boots. Although those boots came out a few seasons ago, they made a triumphant return to the fashion world in the Boot Craze of Fall/Winter 2013. It just seemed like these boots were featured on every fashion blog and that anyone who's anyone owned a pair. Naturally, I wanted to join in on the leather soled fun, but then a sad truth hit me: the boots were $1,275.00. For a while, I gave up on my Balenciaga boot dream; but then I found these beauties.

Although they aren't exact lookalikes, these boots from Boohoo are just as perfect. They do run wide, so I ordered them in a size seven instead of my normal size eight. Luckily, I ordered them before they went out of stock (there were less than ten pairs left). I'm currently brainstorming different ways to style them, but I think that they're versatile enough to where you can dress them up or down.

Ked Double Up Sneakers

I bought these shoes a few weeks ago and decided to do a short post on them because they're probably the best Ked sneakers I've owned. I really like the thick rubber sole and they even came with an additional pair of black shoelaces. They're very comfortable and I feel like you could probably get more wear out of these sneakers than Keds' classic plimsoll style sneakers because of the thicker sole. Another reason I love these shoes is because they look almost exactly like this pair of Supergas that I was planning on getting, but only cost $55.
