Perfect Pale Pink

I've been trying to find a pale pink lip combination for a while now and all the lipstick and lipgloss combos I've tried never seem to do the trick. Some are too nude. Some have to much glitter. Whatever the case made be, I found it impossible to find the perfect shade I was looking for. After giving up I just happen to go into a store (I can't remember the name of it.) while I was in Houston, and I only went in because I saw they sold NYX products. Where I'm from there are no NYX products in sight. My best bet would be to order them online but I rarely like to do that with makeup because you can't really tell what the products looks, feels, or will be like unless you actually test it out in person. Anyway, getting back on track, I was just looking at the products when I found the PERFECT pair. It's the NYX lipstick in Marrakesh Pink and the NYX lipgloss in Nude Pink. The lipstick is a matte color which means it has no shine, no glitter, etc. It's just the solid color and the its is buildable which is perfect. The lipgloss color is exactly like the name--Nude Pink. It has a really good smell the downfall to the lipgloss is that it is a bit sticky but not too sticky. What's your perfect pale pink combo?

Maxi skirt?

After two weeks of my family being apart, we finally had the time to reunite. This Labor Day weekend we all got together where my sister and I are staying. Because there isn't much to do in the city we stay in, we decided to go to Atlanta and just kind of sight see. We didn't really care what we did as long as we got to spend time as a family. We ended up going to Atlantic Station in Atlanta and if you've ever been to Universal Studios, it reminded me of the section that they have the imitation Rodeo Drive. Atlantic Station has a bunch of stores and it has actual roads but it seems like you can't really drive on them. I don't think I gave a very good description of it. Lol. Anyway, if you're  in the Atlanta area you should definetaly go check it out!
 
Now, onto my outfit. My "maxi skirt" may look familiar and that's probably because it's actually a maxi dress. This is the maxi dress I wore in my first fashion blog post. I didn't want to wear it as a dress so I just tucked in the top part and put a casual white v-neck with it. See, there are many different ways you can wear what you have. You just have to use your imagination to help you see a "new" article of clothing. (:
