Casual Glitz and Glam

in ,

Happy Friday, friends! If December isn't the perfect time to wear sequins, then I don't know when is. With holiday festivities and new years eve parties, this is the time of the year to pull out all of your sequin outfits and dress to the nines! I personally love to wear sequins all year round, but especially now. This sequin top with grosgrain bows is an absolute stunner! I'm wearing a size 00. The fix is a bit boxy and slightly cropped. It's also 40% off right now with the code HOLIDAY. I'm absolutely in love with it! It's a statement piece so the rest of your outfit should remain neutral. Of course, you can always match it with say a sequin skirt and really be the belle of the ball. I went with a more causal look, something that could be worn on a date night or even during the daytime for a glitzy ensemble. It's a little hard to see in these photos, but these jeans also have some sequins on them too in the rips. These would be perfect for someone who wants to wear sequins, but not in a flashy way. They give just a hint of sparkle. I'm wearing a 00P.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I'll be attending some holiday parties and going to see Rouge One. I cannot wait! Does anyone else have some plans for the weekend??

Leopard & Blush

in ,

I think its fair to say by now that I have a slight obsession with anything leopard. While it is one of my favorite prints, I use it as a neutral in the fall and continue to do so into the winter season. Pairing it with black in a no brainier, but also some blush and burgundy colors make the outfit feel fresh and youthful. Add in another print, the plaid scarf, and you have some lovely print mixing going on. Plaid and leopard are two prints that work marvelously together and are perfect for any holiday parties coming up. Glam and festive all in one! The coat has a very boxy fit so I would suggest to go down in one size. I'm wearing a 000. Normally I'm a 00. I love the gold buttons on the coat! I'm such a sucker for anything gold. The skirt is slightly big on me. The smallest size is a small. An XS would have been perfect.

Bell Sleeves & Cape

in ,

Cape c/o || Bell Sleeve Top c/o || Thigh High Socks c/o || LC Lacuren Conrad Skirt, Old, Similar || Oxford Shoes || Vince Camuto Bag || Bow Belt || Freyrs Sunglasses c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

This outfit reminds me of something Blair from Gossip Girl would wear, which I totally love. The ruffle/bell sleeve look is still a huge trend going strong right now. It's the statement piece of any outfit. This top is only $14.99 too, a great price to add some flair to your wardrobe. Instead of going with your traditional tights, I opted to wear some thigh high socks with oxford shoes. It has the same effect that wearing over the knee boots would, basically to keep your legs warm and create an elongated look. You know that I'm all about little details and the scalloped edges on this cape are seriously cute. I do wish that the cape was made from a thicker material. It would be better suited for fall seeing as how it is not very warm.

Christmas in New York

Majesty Peacoat || Embellished Sweater || Button down Top || Scarf || Pom Pom Hat || AG Skinny Jeans || Boston Oxford Shoe || Mansur Gavriel Bag || Similar Pink Gloves || Humble Chic Earrings c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Lip Color: Ava ||

This past weekend was quite an exciting one! First, thank you to my dad for taking these photos with his camera! I surprised my dad with his Christmas present, a trip to New York City to see The Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. My mom and dad went every year to go see the show and it became one of their favorite traditions to look forward to. My dad took my brother and I twice before when we were younger as well. When thinking about his gift this year, I wanted it to be something special and instantly thought of the Spectacular. It has a lot of meaning and memories of happy times for my family. I know he and my mom had also brought their parents and their friends to go see The Christmas Spectacular too. It was something near and dear to their hearts. We both truly enjoyed the show. It really is an amazing experience and my goodness, those Rockettes!! They've always been my favorite part. I love when they line up and do their synchronized kicks. You leave the theater in the warmest of Christmas spirits. I know we both teared up during the show thinking about my mom too. As soon as the Rockettes came on I teared up a bit. She absolutely loved them and its hard not to think of her when watching them.

The rest of the day we spent walking around and exploring the city. Of course, we went down to Rockefeller Plaza to see the Christmas tree. There was a bit of a nip in the air, haha, so I made sure to bundle up in layers. The cozy scarf and hat really made all  the difference in keeping me warm. I love how regal the navy peacoat looks too. The gold buttons remind me of twinkling stars against a midnight blue sky. Since I knew we would be walking around all day, I wanted to wear flats, but something a bit more substantial and something that would cover more of my feet against the cold. Enter these streamlined and sleek oxfords. Honestly, I've never been more in love with a pair of menswear inspired shoes. Ladies of NYC, this is an absolute must for you! I wore them all day and had no issues with rubbing or sores. We went to The Plaza to grab a bite to eat before watching the nightlife of NYC pass us by. The city comes alive at night and its my favorite time to witness. I adore how the city simply sparkles, especially with all of its festivities at Christmas. Needless to say, my dad and I both had an amazing time with some many wonderful memories to look back upon.

Wear To Work

in ,

Happy Friday, friends! Today I thought I'd do something a little bit different and cover an outfit that would be beautiful for the office environment. No surprise here that this look has pink elements, but in a dusty rose shade the pink feels very sophisticated. There's nothing more office friendly than a chic pair of wool trousers. I knew instantly when I saw this pair that I wanted to style them with a creamy white top. The rose gold metallic heels give this ensemble a modern update, while the sunglasses give it a vintage vibe. I actually love how there's this mix of vintage and modern, which is what I always strive for. A modern feel with vintage flair.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I've got some big plans for mine that I'll be sharing on Monday. Stay warm too! We're getting some serious artic weather which means bundling up will be an absolute must. I have a feeling that this winter is going to be very different from last years mild weather. I'm kind of bummed about that haha. I'm not such a huge fan of the cold weather, especially with the wind we've been getting.

FabFitFun Winter 2016

in , , ,

One of my favorite things to get in the mail are my FabFitFun boxes. Getting one of their boxes is like Christmas coming early! They're the best lifestyle subscription box out there. I say lifestyle since their boxes include a variety of beauty, home (decorating, garden, stationary,) exercise, and fashion. Each box keeps getting better and better too! If you're new to FabFitFun, you get full size premium products four times a year. Each box costs $50, but has a value of over $200 and shipping is always free. To get $10 off of your first box, use the code ENCHANTING. Without further ado, here are the products included in the box with some of my personal reviews:

  1. D.L. & CO Candle: The scent I received is Bergamot Woods, but you can also get Blackberry Nectar in a gold holder. These scents will bring winter into your home in the warmest of ways. I'm a huge candle fan and always end up buying a ton of them. This one smells so good! I love the chic holder this candle comes in. It'll make a nice decoration piece once the wax burns out. A little tip my mom taught me if you still have some leftover wax is to freeze it. Then the wax will pop right out! 
  2. Gorjana Necklace: You can receive either the taner toggle lariat in gold (what I have) or the kiernan double pendant necklace in silver. Both necklaces are so versatile and will pair perfectly with your everyday favorites. You can also turn my necklace into a choker. The little circle moves up and down. Pretty neat!
  3. Marie Mae Company Thank You Card Set: There is nothing like opening your mail box to find a beautiful hand written card. While technology is great, there is something very special about someone taking the time to write out a little note or a thank you card. I always send thank you cards out after going to a house party or receiving a gift. I'm old fashioned like that! This thank you card set is what my stationary dreams were made of. The words "cheers" is written in gold foil, which I'm a complete sucker for!
  4. Moleskin 2017 Weekly Planner: As a busy mom, I love having something to jot down my to-do list and appointments or meetings. Staying on schedule is crucial and what better way to do it than with this new sidekick. A weekly planner can help keep you on track and I don't know about you, but I love being able to cross off items from my to-do list. There's something so satisfying about it!
  5. Butter London Iconiclast Mega Volume Lacquer Mascara: If you've ever tried Butter London's nail polish, than you know what good quality this company can produce. This mascara voluminizes, separates, defines, and lifts your lashes to epic heights. I'm wearing the mascara in these photos. As always, wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes to create extra volume. The wand has a little ball on the end, which makes getting into the corners super easy!
  6. O.R.G. Skincare Mineral Peel Face: Brighter, smoother, softer skin? Sign me up! Simply spray this on, wait 3 seconds, and then start to massage the natural enzyme exfoliant for about 1 minute and then wash it off with some warm water or use a wash cloth. This definitely felt refreshing and I really liked how the defoliators weren't hard or scratchy.  
  7. Anderson Lilley Beach Butter Body Cream: Oh this smells soooo yummy!!! My fragrance is Manhattan Beach, but you can also receive Sicilian Tangerine. This rich, hydrating body cream can be applied to your hands, feet, elbows, or any other part of your body that is prone to dry skin. I use mine after I get out of the shower. Make sure to use your body cream within 3 minutes after getting out of a bath or shower to lock in the moisture. I remember reading that after 3 minutes you start to loose the moisture in your skin.

The star pin I'm wearing is for the Star Light Children's Foundation. FabFitFun partnered up with them to bring awareness to their incredible cause and I hope to spread their message through my social media channels. This was my post for instagram:

✨My holiday wish this season is for all children to have happiness and love in their lives ✨ The Starlight Children's Foundation's mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children. Just because you're sick doesn't mean you stop being a child, and it shouldn't mean missing out on all of the fun of childhood. I'm wearing this star ⭐️ pin to share Starlight's amazing cause.

Plaid Dress + Leopard Coat

in ,

Plaid always has me thinking of fall, but it also translates very well for the holiday season too. A favorite combo of mine, and one that you'll see again soon, is plaid and leopard. They're two prints that work effortlessly well together and look glam while doing it. This dress is perfection for the winter weather with long sleeves and a maxi style skirt. Very twirl worthy! The belt cinches in the waist to create an hourglass look. Without the belt, the dress is quite baggy. I got this leopard coat during the Black Friday sales. Oh my goodness, swoon worthy! It has a stunning red lining and keeps me so warm and toasty. I also like the longer length for skirts or dresses that are equally as long. To compliment the look, I choose red pumps and a green clutch to keep with the festive feeling. If there is a time when green and red work together, it's for the holidays. Otherwise, it can look too much like the holidays.

You many have noticed that I always wear my Jackie Kennedy rings, the unity bands, but I actually have quite a few pieces of the jewelry from her line. It's a line that is reproductions of the actual pieces she wore. I have on a pair of her earrings in this post too. With the movie Jackie out right now, an absolute must see for me, I thought I would make a little comment about the pieces I usually wear. If its an emerald piece, that usually means it was a gift from JFK. His birth stone (May 29th) was emerald and he typically would gift Jackie emeralds to remind her of him. Many of the pieces I have were ones that JFK had given her. That always felt more special to me and of course, I love JFK. The gold unity band I wear was actually given to Jackie by Bobby Kennedy as a thank you gift. The emerald unity band, given by JFK, was for their 10th wedding anniversary. The emerald earrings, which can detach and be worn as studs too, were given to Jackie by JFK for helping him with his presidential campaign. They were part of of three piece set originally.

The Green Dress

in ,

It's been said that every women should have a go-to dress in her wardrobe, typically the lbd, but what about a stunning jewel tone color that is equally just as classic? This dress from Lookbook Store is feminine and sexy all rolled into one. Plus, it fits perfectly. It's always a happy surprise when clothes fit as if they were tailored for your body. I'm wearing a US 2. With it being the holiday season, the green color fits right in. I opted for a timeless red lip and sparkling gold accessories. I cannot tell you how many times I've grabbed this gold clutch. It really does go with everything! I've had it for a few years now and its basically the only formal clutch I use.

Pink Party For The Weekend

in ,

I've been looking to upgrade my sneaker game for quite some time now. I'm not usually one to wear sneaks, but when I do they're usually Keds. I wanted a pair that are luxe and still comfortable to wear because let's be honest, sneaks are the most comfortable shoes you can wear. When I saw this pair in a dusty rose color and glam velvet material, I knew I had found my ideal match. They fit true to size and are absolutely gorgeous in real life. I love love love being able to wear something that is both functional and fashionable. As a busy mom on the go, this is a HUGE plus! How stunning is this embellished collar sweater too?! A little embellishment goes a long way and adds the prettiest amount of eye catching sparkle. The ballerina pink color is super feminine too.

Embellished Skirt

in ,

Piped Ruffle Blouse || Choies Embellished Skirt c/o || Black Coat c/o || Similar Bow Bag || Choies Cat Eye Sunglasses c/o || Baublebar Star Drop Earrings c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Shooties, Old, DSW ||

It's all in the details, darling! Embellishments are always on my radar whether they be a little ruffle, bow, sequin, or jeweled applique, embellishments often add that extra pizazz to make an outfit standout from the crowd. This skirt instantly caught me eye with its velvet trim around the waist, metal flower, chain detail and golden edges. It's a total knockout piece and one that's perfect for any holiday event. It's under $35 too making it an affordable addition to your wardrobe. I'm wearing a size small (the smallest available) but wish they had made an XS. The small was just slightly too big. It still fits fine, but I like my skirts to be very fitting.

Does anyone have any plans for the weekend? I know tonight I'll be watching the I Love Lucy Christmas special on CBS at 8pm EST. Lucy has always been my favorite show. That and Andy Griffith. Anyway, I need to find out when Charlie Brown will be on too. My mom and I had certain Christmas specials and movies that we would watch together every year and Charlie Brown was at the top of the list. Does anyone else have any certain Christmas shows/movies they must see each year?

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Glitz and Glossy // December Edition

in ,

Hello, December! A new month means a new glossy box with the theme being glitz and glossy. Hey there holiday season! I'm so excited for all of the glitz and glamour that goes along with it. As a reminder, you can get glossy box for $21 per box each month with free shipping. There's nothing like getting five new luxury beauty products each month.

  • MDMflow Semi-matte Lipstick in Bossy: This semi-matte lipstick is jam packed with hydrating ingredients to keep lips from drying out which always happens to me in the winter. Ugh! The color is inspired by the street style of hip hop superstar Kelis. I would describe the shade as a nude taupe.
  • Kristais Cosmetics Diamond Select Anti-Gravity Spark Eye Mask: I haven't used this yet, but I'm planning on using it before some upcoming holiday events. The diamond powder works with the collagen and lavender oil which helps reduce sagging and provide hydration. No more tired eyes!
  • Luxie Beauty Onyx Noir Small Tapered Blending Brush: Blending eye shadow colors was never easier than with this precise brush. I think its important to note that Luxie Beauty is hypoallergenic, cruelty free, and all of their products are vegan.
  • MeMeMe Beat the Blue Skin Illuminator: This has to be my favorite item in the box this month. Obsessed! I'm all about adding a little glow to my daily makeup routine and who doesn't want to look their best for the holidays?! I used the brush to draw on some of the highlighter on the bridge of my nose, top of my cheekbones, cupids box, and on top of my brow bone. Simply use your finger then to blend.
  • Harajuku Lovers Pop Electric Eau de Parfum Spray by Gwen Stefani: I've actually been wanting to try Gwen Stefani's perfumes ever since they came out so I was pleasantly surprised to see one in this box! The vibrant colors of the bottles are eye catching while the pop art theme takes me back to the 1950s. Scents will vary between boxes.

Check, Check

Happy Wednesday, friends! I can hardly believe its the last day of November already. Seriously, where did the month go?! Wait, check that, where did this year go?? It's almost December which means tons of holiday festivities, fun, and cheer. I'm definitely looking forward to that. I mean, don't we all need a little cheer? I think so.

Now, onto the outfit. Personally, I'm a big fan of matchy-matchy ensembles. Monochromatic or matching prints feels sophisticated. Don't get me wrong, I also love mixing prints and color blocking too, which is trendy and cool, but matching has a classic feel about it. Think back to say the 1950s when you would buy a whole matching outfit. Everything matched and went together. That's where I pull most of my inspiration from. Below I have a few examples of some 1950s women's wear. A check or windowpane print never goes out of style, plus its incredibly easy to pair together or if you want to mix prints, try pairing it with plaid or leopard. The dress I have on is a thinner silky material so layering is a must for the colder weather. It does have sleeves, which is always a plus with dresses! I'm wearing an XS. The scarf is hiding it, but the dress also has a mock neck. I'm kind of obsessed with mock or turtleneck styles right now.

Crazy For Camel

One color I've been crushing on lately is camel. It pairs with literally anything and is the perfect neutral to wear throughout the year. It's a good color to buy some staple items in (think coats, bags, sweaters) seeing as how it never goes out of style and always feels classically cool. For instance, this camel topcoat, which I've been wearing non-stop (size XXS) is polished and a staple item to carry you through the fall and winter seasons. It works for a night out on the town, at the office, running weekend errands, basically anything you can think of. I initially was only going to pair white with camel for this look, but found these beautiful embellished touch technology gloves at a local boutique called BRASHhh in Rehoboth Beach and could not resist. The rosy blush color is another one of my favorites for the season!

My dad, Ava, and I took a weekend trip to Rehoboth Beach for their annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. It's always such a fun and festive event with everyone filled to the brim with Christmas cheer. After gathering around the tree everyone sings carols for about half an hour and then the tree is lit. This was the outfit I wore for the festivities. Luckily, the weather turned out to be very mild which meant only some layering was needed during the day. A fun little tidbit, try layering your vest over your blazer instead of under.  I'm also loving this new Karl Lagerfeld watch. Blue and rose gold are one of my favorite color combos and you can never go wrong with some cool sophistication. Above are some of the Cyber Monday deals going on right now from companies that I'm constantly wearing!

Be Merry & Bright With Osea Skincare

OSEA Brightening Serum c/o || OSEA White Algae Mask c/o || OSEA Sea Vitamin Boost c/o || OSEA Sea Minerals Mist c/o || Pink Fringe Top || Foil Dot Skirt || Humble Chic Tassel Necklace c/o || Jord Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Bauble Bar Star Drop Earrings c/o || Lip Color: Ava || Marble And Gold Table ||

I've been using OSEA skincare products for a few months now and my skin has never looked better. I've shared my skin issues before on here and feel its important to continue to update and let everyone know what has and has not worked for me. With winter on the horizon and the holidays right around the corner, it's important to refresh your routine to make sure you're getting the most out of your skincare products for the weather you're experiencing. I know I want my skin to be bright and clear for all of the holiday events/parties coming up and also to be moisturized with the harsh weather. If you have a friend or loved one that likes vegan skincare or simply skincare products in general, these would make excellent gifts, especially the mists. Some new products I've recently tried from OSEA are pictured above and listed below:

  • Brightening Serum: I use this on my entire face every morning. It feels so lightweight going on and instantly sinks into the skin. Serums are one of my favorite products to use because of the intensity of the ingredients. It's an instant boost! I do wish it came in a larger container, but this stuff definitely works. I noticed a slight lightening of some red leftover acne marks. From their website, "This ultra lightweight serum contains potent botanicals that help to visibly brighten your complexion, diminish the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and create the appearance of a more even skin tone. Vitamin-rich ingredients such as Indian Gooseberry, Cumin, Japanese Matsutake Mushroom and Bearberry give your complexion a refined, radiant look."
  • White Algae Mask: You can use this mask as either an overnight treatment or for 10-20 minutes before you rinse it off. Once a week I would wear this to bed and then again during the week I'd wear it for about 1 hour. The mask tingles a bit as you put it on and then dries to a very light white-green color. What I love about this mask is that my skin does not feel tight and dry when I take it off, but rather looks refreshed. From their website, "This age-defying, antioxidant mask instantly improves the appearance of dull, uneven complexions and delivers long lasting hydration. Formulated with White Algae, White Wine, and White Tea to visibly diminish redness and surface inflammation for a brighter, more luminous look."
  • Seam Minerals Mist (Green): Whenever my skin would start to feel dry, I would spritz this on. Usually I would spritz this on top of my makeup part way through the day. It feels nice and refreshing and even gives my makeup some new life. From their website, "This refreshing elixir delivers immediate hydration to dry, depleted skin. Organic Patagonian Seaweed, Dead Sea Salt, and Aloe Vera neutralize surface impurities and diminish the appearance of inflammation and redness on the surface of skin."
  • Sea Vitamin Boost (Red): This mist and the serum are my favorite products from the bunch. I would spray this after I applied my moisturizer and before my makeup. I'd let it sink in for about 5-10 minutes before putting my makeup on. That gives your skin an extra glow! Then I would use this at night after my moisturizer. From their website, "This refreshing, rose-hued spray delivers an immediate feeling of hydration and instant fresh glow to dry, sun-damaged skin. Visibly reduces the appearance of signs of aging associated with dry skin and dry climates."

Headbands Of Hope // Flower Crown

in ,

A few months back I partnered up with Headbands Of Hope to bring awareness to their cause. For every item sold on their website, one headband is given to a child with cancer. Here is the first post from back in June. I feel very honored to be able to participate again and hope that new and old readers alike will get behind and support this wonderful cause. They believe that fashion can be the greatest vehicle to positive self-identity and I could not agree more. That belief is the driving force behind my personal style and one of my goals for creating and continuing this blog. The happiness on the children's faces when they receive a headband brings joy into my heart and knowing that such a simple act of kindness really does make a difference in the world. Since their creation in April 2012, Headbands Of Hope has donated headbands to every children's hospital in the U.S. That is quite a remarkable feat if you ask me. Lastly, my heart is absolutely melting over Ava having a matching floral headband to mine. Mommy and me posts are my favorite.

Creamy Crochet And Tulle

in ,

Happy Monday, friends and happy Thanksgiving week! Over this past weekend we had some crazy weather. Saturday it went from a beautiful fall day with highs in the 70s to overnight temps dropping and staying in the 30s with snow in toe. Seems like winter is here now, though I hope fall pops her head back in every now and then until winter is supposed to be here. Knowing this weather change was coming, we made sure to get out Saturday and really enjoy the last hurrah of the nice weather. We went to New Hope and Peddlers Village for the day to walk around the main streets with shops and restaurants. New Hope has a beautiful walking path that we strolled along until sunset. Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Peddlers Village was all decorated with Christmas lights too! Truly a fantastic and magical site to see.

Speaking of the holidays and it being Thanksgiving week, this outfit is another option for a dressier look you can wear for Thanksgiving. The creamy crochet top adds some beautiful texture while being cozy enough to cuddle up in. Its a bit heavier making it more like a sweater, but still very light to wear. The crochet detailing wraps around to the back and has a pretty scalloped fringe hemline, great for showing off with some skinny jeans. The neutral colors feel fancy, especially with the tulle skirt, which always has an element of whimsy to it. Along with this look being a Thanksgiving option, this would also work for a date night or fun out with the girls.

Happy Friday, friends! l don't know about you, but I love being cozy and comfy during Thanksgiving dinner. You can dress up or down for the holiday, but in recent years I've gone with a cozy glam look. An outfit where I can eat a ton of good food and not feel uncomfortable in! This beaded sweater is beautiful with a subtle blush color and dazzling embellishments that catch the eye. I'm wearing an XS and found the fit to be relaxed. Not too loose or tight. It's also a great option for adding some sophistication to your work wardrobe. The sweater could be tucked into a skirt or worn with some trousers to add a little glitz to your day. I've been wearing these glitter mules non-stop. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I own and are a true show stopper. I've received so many compliments on them and people asking where they're from. You know they're a winner when that happens! They are the perfect finishing touch, the icing on the cake to add some vintage glamour any ensemble. The feathery pompom on top is beyond cute. They fit true to size.

Leopard, Lace, & Pink

Black Lace Top || Pink Midid Skirt c/o || Leopard Coat || Glitter Heels || Humble Chic Pink Lace Bralette c/o || Vince Camuto Bag || Karen Walker Sunglasses || Lip Color: Ava || Baublebar Star Drop Earrings c/o || Baublebar Rock Stud Ring c/o ||

Sometimes an ensemble comes together so beautifully and you think it was just meant to be. This outfit has a glam touch that really pops! The black sheer lace top has a high neck profile with scalloped eyelash edges. I'm kind of obsessed with this top! It's very ladylike and elegant all rolled into one and the quality is top notch. Peeking out from behind the delicate lace top is a blush pink halter bralette. The top does come with a nude cami underneath that is detachable if you wish. I wanted to add that extra fun layer that while subtle, still takes the outfit to another level. The bralette is a great option is you have any sheer tops or backless ones. The leopard coat is so striking against the black and bright pink color combo. It's the perfect mix of glam meets lady. The coat is on the lighter side so it wouldn't be a good choice for extreme winter weather, but rather mild cooler temps. There is a very limited quantity of the coat left online, but I did get mine in the actual store where they had a good amount so I would check there first. Also, I recently got a new lip color called "Ava" that I've been wearing non-stop. I originally got it because of the name, hello my little love bug!, but beyond that it's an extremely lipstick with a pigment-rich color that goes on silky smooth and is jam packed with jojoba and sweet almond oil.
