OOTD + Bogo Deal

Hey guys, thought I would do a quick OOTD since I went out to run some errands. It was insanely windy the past few days since the weather is changing. It got a lot more chilly and breezy so it's time to whip out jackets and scarves.

white henley from American Eagle
jeans from Uniqlo
boots from Necessary Clothing
ivory scarf from Forever21

jacket from Express

the scarf adds a lot of texture to the outfit... makes it less boring

The best part of the jacket is the collar. I love how you can pop it up and cover your entire neck with it. Makes you look extra chic and keeps you warm! Sorry ladies but this jacket was from last years and I doubt Express still carries it but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere if you look hard!

BOGO TIME!

Yup, that's right. Walgreens is having a major bogo deal with their EOS lip balm. It's literally free. Actually it is free. You purchase it and pay the $3 and they print out a coupon of $3 so you can use on your next purchase which they'll just deduct from.

I got 2 cause that's all they have in the Walgreens near me. Wish I could get the other colors also. This doesn't end til the end of the week (last day is 10/9/10) so go get them while they still have it!

Bye lovelies,

Hair Color Fail + NOTD

So, as of late I decided to dye my hair a different color since the last color I dyed it was literally fading away. I decided to use Garnier Nutrisse in Medium Intense Auburn... boy it was a fail.

The color was suppose to come out like the chick on the box. I thought I would get it all over my hair but apparently not. This happens all the time I dye my hair. The strands doesn't seem to soak in the color fully. I guess I just have to go to the salon and get it done the right way.

My attempt at taking a picture with the parts of my hair that shows the color. You can see just a hint of it under the fluorescent light, but in sunlight it was boom pow wow! No sunlight in NY for the past 2 days so no photo of bright hair... =[

My work bathroom was pretty neat to take photos. No one is there half the time. Now all they need is a full length mirror so I can show ya'll my outfits. Yea, it was freezing cold my office so I kept the scarf on... though it was so thin it didn't do much.

My boring eye-look whenever I go to work. Slab on a shimmery or matte shadow all over lid, eyeliner and mascara and I'm good to go. That was after a long day of work so my lashes didn't look happy, and you can tell my eyes are getting droopy and tired... haha

I don't look too tired here... quite natural I might say. And dam my hair is growinggg.

Yayyy a chirpy photo! I wonder what haircut I should have next, hair growing out and the a-line bob is looking shaggy on me. But it's still too short to layer or any of that sort. Any ideas ladies?

NOTD

Feeling a bit classy and "clean" if you know what I mean. Went for the french nails. Did them all on my own, boy it was difficult to do my right nails since I'm not a lefty! Came out pretty decent for an at-home manicure. I realized I don't like leaving my nails uncolored because it's so thin and soft with no polish on. Plus it looks better and it shows that you're more well-groomed =]

Until next time chicas

El'view: Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Waterproof

Claims: The bristle of the mascara is able to coat every lash you have. It stretches the lashes making it look a lot longer with its new formula. And it is waterproof.

Price: $6-9 at various stores

Pros: The formula wasn't too creamy so it went on easy. It actually does lengthened the lashes! The waterproof part really holds my curl up which means there are a lot of wax within the formula, thumbs up for being water resistant too.

Cons: Takes time to get use to since the bristles are long and wide at different places (as seen in the photo).

Overall: Alright, I know I don't have a lot of "cons" for this mascara because I absolutely loved it. It's hard to find a mascara that really holds an asian lashes up. I always buy waterproof ones because I know they are a lot less liquidy and creamy. I also like the fact that this mascara doesn't make your eyes look crazy clogged, it gives a light coat no matter how many layers you slab on. The way the bristles are formed really helps gets between the lashes, small or long... it catches it. This mascara gets addicting after a while, I just couldn't stop using it. The sleek packaging also makes it look classy hence the concept of it being a stiletto. This is definitely a re-purchase for me... until I find a better mascara (which I doubt!).
