MAC: Pink Nouveau lipstick and More To Love lip pencil

 
I finally got my hands on this MAC Pink Nouveau lipstick I've been hearing about. Though I've tried pink lipstick before I have to admit this one is my favorite. The color works with my skin tone, and lasted a lot longer than I expected. My only hate is that it can be a little "cakey" so make sure to keep your lips moisturized. I preferred to pair it with the More To Love Mac Pro Long Wear lip pencil. The colors compliment each other and me even more ;)!
 
Lipstick: $15.00
Lip Pencil: $15.00

Second Hand Rose and my love for vintage!

 
 
 
 

Mrs. Rose is like an aunt whose closet you hope to rummage through to find eclectic pieces and various treasures that will give you a glimpse of what it was like during her younger years. Fortunately, Second Hand Rose gave me that exact feeling.  I was an hour early to her boutique, but she smiled as soon as she saw me and asked me to come in. We sipped on water and talked for hours about fashion, family and the box generation. She’s owned the boutique for years, and has recently been reconstructing her establishment to form a vintage museum on the top floor. I took plenty of pictures and purchased a cute skirt, among many other items, from her store.





 I purchased this 1950's skirt and paired it with a gray sweater from rue 21( which was on sale over the summer for $1)!
