Kim Kardashian Inspired OOTD

Talented or not the Kardashians are style icons.  Recently, Kim K was spotted shopping in a simple gray bodycon dress, nude pumps and cool kid shades.  Her style is incredibly minimalistic and clean but because of her curves, her complete look is va va voom.  For a quick lunch date with the boo, I threw on my stretch knit bodycon dress and single sole sandals and sashayed around with my curls bouncing and my hips swaying.  This outfit is not for the faint of heart.  Edgy details like brass knuckle rings gifted from Sassy Jones Boutique adds edge and personality to this borrowed look.  Have you tried any Kim Kardashian inspired styles?

Vamp It Up With MAC Hautecore & MAC Talk That Talk

What better way to celebrate Winter than a dark, sultry lip?  MAC Hautecore made its second debut this Black Friday holiday and is the perfect black matte lipstick for any occasion.  Some may think rocking a black lipstick can be extreme, but for me black is perfect for a bold, in your face vampy look.  With cascading curls and a mixture of colors from my outfit, the black lip was the perfect contrast for my outfit of the night.

If you're not quite ready to walk on the darkside, try wearing a raisin or plum color lip.  My hands down favorite matte lipstick has been Rihanna's Talk That Talk.  This color is a brown, raisin shade and is also matte.  The deep color compliments any skintone and gives a sexy and sophisticated look.  TTT was my choice to compliment my gold foil mini dress for a night out with the girls.  What are some of your favorite vampy lipsticks?

$1,000 Face: Skin Care & Luxury Natural Face

It's not always the makeup itself that makes you look beautiful, but also the condition of your skin.  Lately I've been getting really into skin care.  The foundation of a flawless made up face will be the skincare routine.  I was recently introduced to the Yves Saint Laurent Forever Youth Liberator Serum by celebrity make up artist Brittany of Nordstrom's beauty department (here).  She suggested the YSL serum because it has anti-aging ingredients like glycanactif and also the serum brightens the skin and creates a glow.  With 100 years of research, 7 nobel prize mentions and with 2 out of 3 women choosing YSL serum I had to give it a try.  At $155 a bottle I opted for a couple of sample packs tom my beauty consultant and tried it for myself.  Personally, I really like this serum because of the lightweight feel on my skin and the wonderful apricot smell which is the signature smell of most of the YSL products.  During the day, I kept checking on my face and it seemed to do well with my oily T-zone area.  So far I am pleased with the serum but it's too early to tell if I'd recommend it or would buy a full bottle.  I'll be sure to update you dolls again about this serum with long term use.  One thing for sure is that I plan to start with anti-aging now instead of later.

Live In The Now

My mantra for 2014 is "Live In The Now".  Too many times I've declined invitations for a night out, or movie date or even hanging out with associates and friends.  Time seems to be passing me by and I don't ever want to look back one day and think to myself 'Man, I missed out.'  I decided to go out and get fancy and dolled up once a month at least in the new year.  To kick off 2014 I partied with good friends and rocked my MBD (mini black dress)- every women should have one.  To cover my legs I opted for the overly popular ZigiNY Piarry thigh high boots and a popping matte lip.
