Mint Love

So this season I have a slight obsession with Mint and all pastel colors, SCRATCH that I'm 

crazy about these colors. It's so you much you can do with them because they're pastels. 

Neon colors you can play with but to much neon you end up looking like highlighted clown. 

My two favorites would be mint and orange. Some how I thought the colors would clash until 

I actually put them on. So future advice if you put something together and it doesn't look 

good off the back, PUT IT ON. Wearing it makes a big difference than just pairing items up. 

So on to the IMPORTANT PART, the OUTFITS. 

The first outfit is for my more prepsters. Mint skinnies and pretty pastel classic button up 

even a sheer button up would pull this look together. Wearing some nude oxfords and pale 

yellow clutch girlfriend you will be turning heads. Spring is near time to be colorful!! The 

bowler hat is optional I thought it added a very chic look. I really couldn't figure out what 

type of earrings to pair with the hat so try gold hoops and see how it plays out.


For my girly girls, blazers and skater skirts are your go to this season. I love the pleats in the 

skirt very feminine. A cropped shirt fits right in so it show off those nice hips in that skirt. 

Embrace those hips big or small. A skater skirt suits them all. Wedges are perfect to wear. 

Rock some nude ones!! 

Last two outfits are casual comfy. Distressed shorts tied shorts and sandals. Boom outfit complete no effort but still cute. I would also add a top knot or messy bun. Nerd glasses super cute accessory to add. Pearls are a girls bestfriend ( besides DIAMONDS of course). They add a sense of sweet to the outfit. 
Next are some more pastel skinnies with a mint tank and denim vest. Some comfy sneaks and a backpack to me makes the look, look cool lol. Any sort of braid adds fun to the outfit.

THE BEAUTY PART

IT'S SPRING SHOW OFF A FRESH FACE AND GIVE THAT FACE A REST FROM THE 

HEAVINESS OF WINTER MAKEUP. NATURAL MAKEUP WORKS WITH ALL LOOKS 

AND IF YOU'RE NOT THE NATURAL GIRL SMOKE IT UP. A SMOKEY EYE WORKS 

WITH ALMOST ANYTHING.


NAILS.

NUDE, NUDE AND PASTELS. LOL TOLD YOU I WAS OBSESSED WITH PASTELS. BUT 

IT'S ALMOST SPRING WHO WOULDN'T BE!! WEAR THESE COLORS THIS SEASON 

AND ROCK THEM WITH SOME GLTTER OR COOL NAIL ART.


IF I CAN FIND SIMILAR PIECES I WILL ATTEMPT TO RECREATE THESE.
ALSO MIX PIECES TOGETHER LIKE THE DENIM VEST AND SKATER SKIRT BAM NEW OUTFIT.

THE KEY TO A WARDROBE IS FINDING KEY PIECES TO MIX AND MATCH THINGS WITH. AND ACCESSORIZE!!! NEW OUTFITS ALL THE TIME.

Skin Care Routine

Here's my skin care routine.

First I start off with the Clean and Clear foaming facial cleanser oil free. It's a good cleanser for oily skin. Just put a dime amount in hand a drop of water then mix until lathered. It will un lather quick so just  keep adding water while you're applying it to your face. Rinse with warm water and what I like to do is rinse once with cold water to seal the moisture and reduce redness.









Next I use the Mint Julep Masque. I only use this once every two weeks  or once a week it just depends on how I'm feeling. A small amount is good, I like to put a little extra though. Wait 15 mins for it to dry then  wash off with a wash cloth. The downfalls for this product is the smell and tingling feeling. The smell is horrid but durable and the tingling feeling only last during the drying stage. Once it starts drying you don't feel a thing. This is a holy grail product for because of the way it make my skin feel after. Talk about baby butt smooth!! I did notice a difference within in a week. My skin looked brighter and younger. It's to help reduce redness (hence the green colored mask) minimize pores and prevent blackheads.
I recommend this highly only a couple of bucks at your local dollar store.

OK SO LET'S FIRST START WITH MY PURCHASES FROM ROSS. A MINT CARDIGAN, TAN SHEER BLOUSE, MINT SHEER BLOUSE WITH GOLD ACCENTS,AND MARILYN TEE. I'VE BECOME OBSESSED WITH MINT AND SHEER SHIRTS SO WHEN I FOUND THESE ITEMS I JUST THREW THEM IN THE BUGGY NO HESITATION. I REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MINT SHEER BLOUSE BECAUSE OF THE GOLD ACCENTS IT'S VERY CHIC AND GIRLY TO ME. NORMALLY I WEAR A SMALL BUT IM LEARNING TO GET MEDIUMS IN CERTAIN THINGS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FLOW THE WAY I WANT. THE CARDIGAN 12.99, TAN BLOUSE I THINK 14.99 AND SAME AS THE OTHER SHEER BLOUSE. I'M A MARILYN FIND SO WHEN I SEE ANYTHING WITH HER FACE ON IT IT'S A MUST HAVE AND THE TSHIRT WAS 6.99. THINKING OF PAIRING THE MINT SHEER BLOUSE WITH SOME BLACK LEGGINGS AND LEOPARD OR NUDE HELLS.

 

THE CHARLOTTE RUSSE PURCHASE WAS A NAVY BLAZER, PALE PINK INFINITY SCARF, CREAM PULLOVER, AND A GOLD BOW RING AND MINT BRACELET.  BLAZER I LIKE BECAUSE OF THE INSIDE DETAILING. IT'S DETAIL IN A CREAM PINK BACKGROUND WITH NAVY HEARTS PRINTED EVERYWHERE. THE PULLOVER SAYS "BE YOURSELF EVERYONE ELSE IS TAKEN" AND THE INFINITY SCARF HAS BLACK BOWS ON THEM WHICH I'M ALSO OBSESSED WITH. BLAZER ON SALE $20  REGULAR $40, SCARF $10, PULLOVER I THINK IT WAS AROUND $15.50 AND THE JEWELRY WERE 2 FOR $10.

MY SHOES CAME FROM DOTS.  SIMPLE BLACK BOOTIES AND GRAY FLATS. BOOTIES $20 AND FLATS $10.




BEEN WANTING SOME CANDLES FOR A WHILE SINCE I MOVED OUT BUT COULD NEVER FIND ANY THAT SMELLED THAT AWESOME. BATH AND BODY WORKS HAD A SALE ALL SMALL CANDLES FOR 2 FOR $10 SO I GRAB THESE. I WANTED TO MIX THEM BUT THESE SMELLED SO GOOD I GRABBED TWO LOL. THE SCENT IS FROSTED CUPCAKES AND OMG IT'S HEAVEN. SUCH A SWEET VANILLA CAKE SMELL. I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE 2 FOR 20 SALE CAUSE YA GIRL WILL BE GETTING TWO MORE FROSTED CUPCAKES IN THE BIG SIZE. THOSE WILL GO IN MY LIVING ROOM. I HONESTLY THINK THEY SHOULD TURN THIS INTO A COLLECTION CAUSE I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY  PURCHASE IT.  IF YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE SCENTS FROM THEM LET ME KNOW SO I CAN TRY THEM OUT.
