Obsession Wednesday!

Hello beauties! Sorry for the super super long hiatus! I've been having lot of computer issues (to make a long story short lol). Along with major computer issues I've been uber busy with family things all that good and bad stuff lol. Anywho! although this is mainly a beauty blog, I thought it would be okay if I decided to write about other things I'm passionate about or just tend to enjoy. With that being said, I was ALWAYS told that I was an "old soul" by my family and friends. I've been liking, rather obsessing, over all things 40s-60s! It could very well be my current "Mad Men" or my old Frank Sinatra obsession (I have loved old blue eyes since I was very very little..thanks Grandma!) For months all I've been listening to or watching is: Fly me to the moon, Nice 'n' Easy, I've got you under my skin, One for my baby, You can't take that from me..as well as watching Mad Men, movies likes Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven year Itch, How to steal a Million, Roman Holiday, and OF COURSE Breakfast at Tiffanys (my favorite movie of all time..cliche but true!) The purpose of telling you, beauties my current obsessions is because these eras of music and movies has heavily influenced my makeup routine and hair styles! Surprise Surprise...hahaha! Daily, my makeup routine transformed into the classic winged liner, sometimes a longer flick or sometimes a shorter. I've also experimented with different shades of lipsticks ranging from reds to peaches to pinks. Some are my favorite this month are of course 'Ruby woo' from MAC, a very matte blue toned red, sometimes I pair a lipglass from MAC called 'Wonder Woman' with red and orange sparkles in it, it looks sensational! Also I've enjoyed wearing 'Vegas Volt' also from MAC, a vibrant orangey-pink, (sorry for all the MAC, when I was younger I would only wear MAC lipsticks..young and naive hahaha). Fuchsias have also made an appearance on my lips lately. Specifically, 'Fuchsia Fever' from Covergirl (finally not a MAC lippie). Let us not forget about my absolute favorite YSL's number 13 'Peach Passion' its exactly what the name says, a true peachy-pink, very smooth and creamy, LOVE LOVE LOVE! Blushes I've been reaching for, Illamasqua's blusher in 'Lover', a creamsicle orange color, just beautiful! Nars 'Exhibit A', a bright red with orangey hues, it looks terrifying in the pan but you can really sheer it out to give you a "natural flush" (like blushing after receiving a compliment from someone special). Or if its a lazy day I'll just reach for my bronzer for a light wash of color. I use Too Faced 'Chocolate Soleil' bronzer (I imagine this is was heaven smells like). As for my hair, its been all about soft curls. Naturally, me and my cheapy clipless curling iron have been besties..easiest yet most dangerous thing ever..lol. Well, I just thought I'd share my inspirations with you, lovies. Please share your current obsessions/inspirations!! I would love to see what gets you motivated for beauty and fashion! Until next time loves!
