My Latest Lip obsession!

Okay...I just can't choose between these two. But these are my latest Lip Obsessions! 

Soft lips (in strawberry) is the everyday chapstick I wear. I would either have dry or chapped lips so I always carry this around with me... but only in strawberry! Since it's my favorite flavor. And these chapsticks are just $1 at any CVS or Walgreens, they even offer three packs with 3 different flavors. It's smooth and easy to apply, not that messy or sticky, it's long wear as well. Which is my first priority when choosing Lip products! If it is not long wear, then it's not that good in quality. And what I also like about this chapstick, is that I can wear a different lip product over it. If it's lipstick, the lipstick would go on first, then the chapstick. Because if you apply the chapstick first, then it will be all gooey and messy if you try applying lipstick over it. If it's lipgloss, then I would apply the chapstick first, then top it off with the lipgloss.

Which brings me to my second lip product obsession. NARS lipgloss in Turkish Delight. Before going into this product, I just have to mention that I love pink-to-nude lip shades. Which is why it makes this lipgloss one of my obsessions. It just gives a really sweet, natural, and creamy-pink look to the lips. If you pair this lip gloss with a neutral or smokey eye makeup on, it makes a really good match. I wear this probably every other day, whenever I have to go out or run errands outside of the house. If it's not at my local ULTA, then I buy it online at Beauty.com. It's around $20, which can be a lot for a lipgloss! But it does last a good 1 to 2 months, depending on how much you use from it. The wear is good, you might have to re-apply after you eat, depending if it's a big or small meal. But besides that, it's a really good lipgloss. 

P.S. Soft Lips' also have tinted chapsticks! How cool is that? I'll write about it soon..

One of Urban Decay's popular tips for this product, and my most favorite, is this: If you didn't get a Good Night's sleep, you can apply a touch of Urbanglow on the inner corners of the eyes. It creates a fresh and youthful glow, and will hide that lack of sleep. According to the description it's not greasy at all, and you are able to wear it on top of makeup, that's a bonus right there!

Lady Gaga's meat dress (VMA)

And she's done it again. Surprised?

Expecting another awesome & rare outfit at the Carpet entrance of MTV's VMA, turns out to be a very raw dress (can it get any stranger?). Wearing a Franc Fernandez raw meat dress, Gaga struts down the carpet with not only a meat dress, but matching meat boots, hat, and purse. How does Gaga stand this dress? Besides the stench of the meat, I'm pretty sure the meat didn't come cold. You can see her glistening under the TV lights..

Not only was she showing off her meat get-up at the carpet, but she also accepted "Video of the year" award for "Bad Romance". Asking Cher to hold her meat purse, Gaga accepted the award, right when majority of the audience started realizing what she was wearing. The PETA team found this rather offensive, and considered this as "raw meat from a poor dead animal", and how "being under the TV lights for so long will start giving off a horrible smell and attract maggots to the dress." Holy cow, I wonder what it was like for the person who was sitting next to Gaga at the award show.

After the VMA's, Gaga attended a live interview with Ellen DeGeneres on the Ellen show, most likely defending her meat get-up and explaining why it shouldn't be offensive at all. "If we don't stand up for what we believe in, or if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're gonna have as much rights as the meat on our bones. Annnnd... I am not a piece of meat." as the audience emerges into claps and whooo's Ellen jokingly brings out a vegi bikini with a corn-cusk green & yellow skirt, and suggests her to wear this next time she decides to "pose with a bikini".  You can check out the interview right here.

Do you find this offensive? Or do you think it's pretty cool? Comment below and tell me your thoughts.

How to shop and NOT feel guilty

The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one.  ~Erma Bombeck

Right, isn't it? haha, we're all like that. I'm like that, you're like that, she's like that. 

We see a gorgeous outfit on sale. You know what that means, right? We can't let this go! So we try it on, and get ready for the moment as you turn around to view your spontaneous reflection in the dressing room mirror. You turn around and you love it! But wait, ... the shirt doesn't hug your curves the right way. But you just love this outfit, and you want to take it. I mean, it's on SALE and It's gorgeous! (and I secretly don't want anyone else to buy this)....Should I buy it? 

Deja Vu! This scenario happens to all of us. Our instinct is always craving for something new, wanting this and wanting that. Well there are times that instinct should have no word in this. If you have a doubt, it's better to keep your credit card sealed inside your wallet and away from your "instinct's buying reach." If we let our instinct and imagination run wild in the clothing & bargain isles, who knows what we end up purchasing? which leaves us with the conclusion of guilt.

 A bargain ain't a bargain unless it's something you need.  ~Sidney Carroll

She just made an obvious point, right smack in the middle. We first came with a check list, better be sure to complete that check list before buying anything snazzy that will leave you feeling guilty afterward.

A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something.  ~Harold Coffin 

Another little demon that teams up with our instinct. It's typical when your depressed or sore you just wanna get out of the house, so your instinct takes you to the shopping mall, what a surprise. And it's obvious that shopping does take your mind off things,  but not for long.  And to pile that up, you even have the guilt of buying that $100 black dress that was probably better off being left in the rack. 

Remember, if you have a doubt about ANYTHING you decide to purchase, start re-thinking before you purchase that outfit. If something seems wrong, if your not all that crazy about the outfit, or it probably seems even a little tight, it's better to just leave it behind and find something better, no matter how awesome the price tag on those tight skinny jeans are. When you try out an outfit, you have to feel completely fabulous wearing it. 

Be sure to also question the outfits you try on. Such as, where would I wear this? Would I actually wear this out? You have to confirm that this looks fabulous on you, and that you will wear this. It's a bad purchase if you don't wear it, especially if you think it doesn't look all that good on you. Because odds are, that that cute outfit you once thought of wearing, is now hanging in your closet rack, abandoned.

Something else that would happen is "I will wear this once I loose about 5 or 7 pounds". Yeah right! By the time you loose those pounds, there will something else you would want to wear, and so on. (fashion trends go by quickly) Been there, done that. Don't wanna go back.

You have to think straight-forward before buying. You spot some cute jeans, and you WANT to buy them. That WANT gets in the way. So remember these tips before your WANT turns into a GUILT of WANTING (and buying).   :)

Simple but Sweet

I'm thinking of a simple and sweet style, what do you think?

Simple & Sweet by FashionGalz featuring a black skirt

There are times when instead of wearing tight jeans, or a black slim dress, you just wanna be simple but with style. Something simple but sweet is what I aimed for when I created this look. A Black ruffled skirt paired with a cotton buttoned-back soft blue shirt, baby blue converse, and to add that sweet and vibrant touch I added a red flower headband. It's like a "classic day out, walking by the lake at sunset". Yeah, that's exactly what I pictured when I was putting together this outfit. I also imagined Taylor Swift in this, it looks cute.You can check out the clothing list and get a better look of this by clicking the Simple & Sweet Polyvore link above.
