Riveria Maya Mexico

 

 

Vlogs are often my favorite type of videos to watch, I love getting to see everyday life or amazing trips around the world. If I start watching one I will generally find myself sucked into a binge watch of vlog after vlog. My love of watching vlogs has led me to try my hand at vlogging a bit more and recently my BF and I went to Mexico for a wedding. I made a short vlog of our time their and hope you all enjoy it!

 

 

We stayed at Generations Riviera Maya, It was a nice resort with pool balconies right outside our hotel room. The rooms were spacious with a mini living area and large bath with shower and Jacuzzi tub. Our stay was relatively short only a few days so we did not venture much outside of the resort but took walks along the beach and relaxed pool or ocean side.

The food was decent although not the best I have had. With an array of restaurants and rooms service to choose from we gravitated to the Chef Market which had a beautiful atmosphere with huge glass windows for walls that let you look out over the ocean.

 

A few details on what I wore, per usual I over packed but ended up wearing the 2 dresses I initial bought for the trip. For the rehearsal dinner I wore a French Connection dress that was perfect for a beach wedding. It had a tropical leaf print with birds and had pockets (always a plus in my opinion).
 

 

For the wedding I went with a baby blue lace overlay midi dress from the brand Alexia Admor. I bought both on Ruelala which is my go to online store to find affordable dresses for any occasion. Both of these dress were around the $60 mark.   

We had a great time in Mexico and I hope you enjoy the vlog! P.S. have you been to an all inclusive in Mexico? If so tell me all about it in the comments!

 

Purple Monochromatic Spring Tutorial

 

 

Lilac purple is one of my favorite shades for spring and I had a look in mind for quite a while that involved shades of this nature and my biggest inspiration came from a single product. The Milk holographic highlighter in Supernova is a creamy highlighter with the most beautiful purple to pale blue and pink holographic shift that leaves you mesmerized by your cheekbones.

 

 

With the Holographic Stick as my main inspirational product I decided to go with a monochramtic purple look and broke out my new Tarte Make Believe In Yourself palette to use on my eyes.For my lips I decided to finally use a product I have been loving offline and use it in a video... the Lancome Le Metallique Metallic Lip Lacquer in Lavender Patina is the perfect lipgloss that gives a beautiful metalic shine.

 

Overall I found this to be an extremely easy and wearable look.

Sephora VIB Haul

 

 

I always try to practice self restraint when it comes to making purchased during the Sephora VIB sale and sometimes I am more successful than others (ahmm fall VIB you get me every time with those holiday kits). This year during the Spring VIB Sale (15%) I picked up a few items that had been on my list for ages and also tried out some new brands for products I had previously ran out of.. you know the necessities like face wash.

 

 

 

 

The one Item I was dying to get my hands on were the Stila Magnificent Metals glitter eyeshadow! I have been trying to get my hands on these since they were first released and every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME, the shades I was most interested in were sold out. I was so happy when I was able to finally pick a few of these amazing shades. I ended up choosing Rose Gold Retro, Sea Siren and Violet Vixen.

 

A few other highlights from this haul were the Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Deep conditioning mask along with a recent favorite of mine. Their Rosarco Blow Dry Perfection Heat Protectant Creme. The Briogeo brand is quickly becoming a favorite line of hair products!
