One Direction Limited-Edition Beauty Collection: Review

Well hello beauties,

This blog post is dedicated not only to those who love makeup but are a huge fans of One Direction. Yes, I said it! I had the opportunity to test our their new limited-edition beauty collection and may I say I am very impress.

The One Direction limited-edition beauty palette contains 6 eyeshadows, 4 lip gloss, lip gloss top coat, eye pencil, and 2 nail polish. Pretty much you have everything you need to glam yourself. The 3 eye shadows from the top row are more metallic while the bottom row eye shadows have a little shimmer, perfect to create a smokey eye. The "Tell me a Lie" eye shadow (which is like a metallic nude pink) can be used as a highlighter as well. Keep in mind, I applied a primer before I swatch the eye shadows on my arm. Although both "Loved you First" and "Irresistable" are similar I must say "Loved you First" is my favorite lip gloss in the palette. "Heart Attack" lip gloss is more of natural look, I would add "One thing" lip gloss on top of either "Loved you First" or "Irresistable" to give it a more beautiful shinny lip.
My boyfriend and I planned a little dinner with my best friend so I wanted to create a stunning look for a night out in the city but yet keep it a little simple. First I applied "Summer Love" eyeshadow (smokey purple haze) to add on to the crease. Than taking an eye shadow brush I picked "Nobody Compare" (metallic silver) and applied it to the whole lid. After blending in both eye shadows I used the eye pencil to create a wing on the eyes. Because I need a little bit more color I decided to apply my favorite "Loved you First" lip gloss, added some foundation, fixed my eye brows, applied Mac lashes and I am done with my look. What do you guys think?

Gift Guid - Creeds Collective Pop-up Shop

Last week I had the pleasure of attending Creeds Collective press preview Pop-up shop located at 54 Crosby St in Soho. Open from now through December 28th, the pop-up shop offers variety of fashion forward brands that are perfect gift ideas for the holidays. It's a great one-stop shop to get all the gifts you need and cross-off your christmas list without going through the hustle of looking from store to store because I'm sure like my family and friends, everyone has different taste and preference. A great thing about this shop are the different price ranges they offer, you can find something for someone who likes just simple and classic to someone who's all about the wow factor. Before you head over there I just want to show you what you'll be expecting and maybe give you a little gift guid with more information on some of the items that I fell in love with.

First thing I noticed and quickly caught my eye as I walked in were Parme Marin pieces. These unique one of a kind pieces is aim for someone who's confident and definitely wants to make a statement when walking in the room. Each piece are hand-made, giving it the sense of vintage but yet modern look. The colorful african inspired designs can be paired with just a simple plain white t-shirt. 

If you know anybody that loves the luxury statement handbags than Lauren Cecchi is the right choice. Crafted in New York City, Lauren Cecchi is a simple, classic and elegant handbag that could go with any outfit. They're definitely a great gift (even for yourself) you just need that one bag in your closet that is perfect for day and night.

Not to worry, Creeds Collective Pop-up Shop offers brands dedicating just for man as well. House of Horology watches are cutting-edge designs with luxurious components, perfect for any occasion. Although sometimes its hard to find the perfect holiday presents for man, you can never go wrong with gifting a watch.

Noir Jewelry, my absolute all time favorite and a must-have in every girls closet. Prices can range from $65 to $1,000, but from my experience the pieces are a great investment. The collections are colorful, glamours and playful but yet classic. It's a perfect gift idea for someone who's into fashion and loves jewelry that can make a statement in their wardrobes, especially the rings. The rings are crazy!!!

If you knee anyone who loves the unique fridge and fabric pieces than Reason to be Pretty is perfect. Just like the Parme Marin pieces, Reason to be Pretty can be styled with just a simple shirt giving the reason that theres already too much going on. Designed by Nophar Haimovitz, all pieces are handmade and hand dyed which explains why some items are pricy but they do offer some affordable pieces as well.

You can never go wrong gifting a red leather handbag, especially for the holidays without breaking the budget. Angela & Roi is a classic yet with a modern touch, giving a simple but a confident statement as well. Each piece are made of 100% high quality vegan leather, and you can simply clean it with a dry cloth (but try to keep it away from rain and water).

Victoria Road are just one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen. They're one-of-a-kiud finds, perfect fits for someone who loves unique timeless pieces.

Finally, another handbag that caught my attention. Jess Rizzuti is an eco-friendly statement handbags with water-based dyes and heat transferred patterns. Price ranges between $300-$700, but may I add it's worth it.
