Curlipops 1 1/4" Ceramic Curling Wand | Review


Hey Hey Everybody!!
So recently I had to bite the bullet and get a new curling 
wand with a bigger barrel since my hair is longer now and I don't
 always have an hour + to invest in curling my hair. 
I browsed the Ulta website a bit, read some reviews, and decided
this was the 1 for me...
I've used it a few times so far and figured I'd share my thoughts
with ya'll.

This is the Bed Head Curlipops 1 1/4" Curling Wand
it retails for $29.99 and can be found HERE

So... What do I think??
Well, at first glance once I got home with it I
was a little annoyed when I discovered it doesn't have
a temperature control.  My own mistake for not
inspecting it better...  Still annoying though.
It claims to heat up to 400 degrees- I'm curious how long
you have to let it marinate in order for it to reach that temp 
because it definitely doesn't seem as hot as my Conair wand
that I usually use on 400... So.. There's that.

Obviously the curls are much looser with this; 
which I don't mind and did expect.
But I also have found that the curls don't last all day
where as with my other wand they'll last DAYS. 
Yes, days, plural... Dry shampoo is my bff.

So.  My thoughts?  I don't hate it.
I kind of wish I had just gotten the 1" though since my hair
isn't extremely long.  I am curious why the curl falls out so fast though.
Not sure if it's to do with the iron itself or the size.
I really like the style and look it gives once I've done
my whole head.  

Overall- I guess I'll keep it.  I like the curl/ wave style it 
gives I just wish it would last better.
While I still love my smaller Conair wand I would totally recommend
this 1 by Bed Head to someone who wants to curl quickly and run.
I think the loose wave look is super cute and "in" right now.

My Results 👇🏼


Hope this helps any of y'all in the market for a big wand! (HA)

As always feel free to leave questions in the comments below.

Top 10 Fall Fashion Picks


Hey Y'all! 
Today's post is going to be all about my Fall fashion picks and what I've been loving recently.
Sleeves are everything this season!
Am I the only 1 who has a much easier time picking out tops than I do pants?
Ugh. Pants are such a drag!
I've tried to include items that are versatile & can be worn many ways as well as options that would be cute paired together for a full look. 
I hope you guys like it!


1.  Stretch Cotton Peplum Top by BP.  -Click Here to Shop-
Main Image - BP. Stretch Cotton Peplum Top
I mean seriously you guys is this ruffle detail not the cutest?!
It's the perfect detailing that adds an extra UMF to a basic tee.  LOVE IT and can't wait to wear it.

2. AEO Super Low Jegging -Click Here to Shop-
...
Dark wash jeans are just such a staple in my wardrobe!  You can never have too many and they can be worn with anything.

3. Wrap Front Ruched Sleeve Top by Dottie Couture -Click Here to Shop-
I just COULD NOT with this top.  The puffy sleeves and bows are so on trend right now.
I love Dottie Couture, they're truthfully 1 of the main places I order clothes from.
Love them so much.
I wear a medium in all tops for reference, I'm usually a small, so I would say their stuff runs a bit small.

4. Mid-Rise Raw Edge Rockstar Jeans by Old Navy -Click Here to Shop-
LIVING for Old Navy Jeans lately.  I don't know what it is, but this "Rockstar" line they have is just everything.  They're so stretchy and comfy.
I'm all about them.

5. Flare Sleeve Sweater by BP. -Click Here to Shop-

Again with the sleeves..  I'm telling y'all!
Loving this color, and this top is so versatile to be dressed up or down.
The BP brand from Nordstrom really has some adorable & affordable pieces.

6. Mixed Stitch Long Cardigan by Caslon -Click Here to Shop-
Main Image - Caslon® Mixed Stitch Long Cardigan (Regular & Petite)
Who doesn't live in cardigans all Winter, right??  I just love a cozy cardigan.
Fall Nights, winter nights, inside, outside- anytime is a good time to wear a cardigan.
I'm also loving the color/ texture of this 1.  It has this 2 toned type of vibe going on.

7. Moto Leggings by BP. -Click Here to Shop-
Main Image - BP. Moto Leggings
Who says leggings aren't pants?!
Now I could live in leggings for the rest of my life and be completely content, but sometimes it's really nice to have a more unique pair to dress up or down with a Moto jacket for example.
Love the look of these- Moto vibes but comfy.  What more could you need?!

8. D-Ring Cutout Sleeve Sweatshirt by Bobeau -Click Here to Shop-
Main Image - Bobeau D-Ring Cutout Sleeve Sweatshirt
These sleeves though!!  Such a unique idea.  Transforms a basic sweatshirt into a statement!
I'm also just really loving the bright reds lately too.  Hot & spicy.

9. Angle Cuff Sweatshirt by Pleione -Click Here to Shop-
Main Image - Pleione Angle Cuff Sweatshirt
I think this is such a darling little top.  Awesome top for the office.  It has just enough going on but it isn't over-kill or too much for a work environment.  Comes in a shit ton of colors too!

10. Rib Trim Long Cardigan by BP. -Click Here to Shop-
Main Image - BP. Rib Trim Long Cardigan
I had to throw 1 more cardigan in for good measure.  Lol
It was a must!
Love this oatmeal beige color!  Again, the BP brand has some awesome stuff you guys.
I totally plan on taking this every where I go and will indeed be living in it for 5ever. haha



And there it is you guys!  My top 10 fashion must-haves for the upcoming season!
You just can't go wrong with these items in my opinion, besides, if it's wrong who wants to be right.
Haha.
Now run, don't walk!
In the meantime I'll just be over here trying to make space for all of my new clothes that I don't have room for.

Silver Smoke | 1 Palette Eye Look

Hey Y'all!!
So fun story...  I attempted to step outside of my comfort zone for today's post with some magenta/ MAUVEulous shades because they're so gorg and I want to wear them desperately, but once I was deep in it (omg is that what he said? I think it is!) -it was a horrendous tragedy and I looked like a rabid deer with pink eye..


Any whoooo... I did manage to create something blog post worthy on my second go round AND it's all from 1 palette.  So there's that.
Impressively enough I was able to create this only using about 3 brushes, but I really want to rave about this Real Techniques "Accent" brush!!!  Holy shit you guys!
I've only ever used it for highlighting my inner corner and MAN have I been missing out.  It's so perfect for applying precise eye shadow!  Especially metallics and glitters.

Since this look focuses primarily on the eyes- they're the deets I'll be going in depth about, but full face products will be below as well because I've got your back girl! Or guy. 😊

So here we go folks...


EYES: 
  • Urban Decay Original Primer 
  • Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette 
 *As you're applying and blending these shadows leave as much of your lid bare as possible until you get to #4.
  1. "Undone" -Crease as a transition shade.
  2. "DTF" -Into outer half of crease more inward as there's less product on your brush. (Blend blend until your arm breaks.)
  3. "Defy" -Outer v, blended into crease shades. *(I also blended DTF & Defy onto my lower lash line from the outer corner inward about halfway.)
  4. "Angel" -All over lid, blended edges into other shades.  I applied about 3 layers of this shade & sprayed my brush with Fix Plus. 
  5. "Last Sin" -Inner corner
  6. "Truth" -Browbone 
  • Mac Fix Plus Spray (Sprayed Brush to apply "angel" to make it POP!)
  • Black Eyeliner (Half of water line from outside)
  • L'Oréal Carbon Black (Top & Bottom Lashes)
  • Maybelline Falsies Push-up Drama (Top Lashes)
  • L'Oréal Telescopic Carbon Black (Bottom Lashes)
  • Essence Clear Brow Gel (To tame those unruly suckers.)


Face:

  • Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation in "Nude 40"
  • Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in "Light"
  • Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick
  • Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder in "Translucent"
  • Nars Blush in "Orgasm"
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Palette "Glo Getter" & "Kitty Kat"
  • Ulta Lip Liner in "Bare"
  • Bite Beauty Lipstick in "Honeycomb"


And there it is!  Wham, bam, thank you ma'am...
I hope you guys enjoyed!!
