Golden Globes 2014 Best and Worst Dressed

The Golden Globes are one of the most entertaining award shows to watch. We get to see our favorite celebrities from TV and movies, with the occasional musician thrown in as well(honestly as a self proclaimed swiftie I'm ashamed to admit I had no idea Taylor would be attending let alone that she was nominated oops). The Hollywood Foreign Press may be analyzing the talent, but I'm gonna stick to the style choices.

Zooey Deschanel:
I'm going to be completely honest, even though I feel like I'm alone on this, I'm not a fan of Zooey. I think her whole--dare I even say it--quirky (honestly does this word solely exist to describe her? is it ever used otherwise?!) act is a bit contribed. That being said, she looked absolutely stunning last night. She perfectly executed the vintage glam look in her Oscar de la Renta dress and crop top ensemble. I especially commend her on the nails, which of course I always take note of. The nail art was fun, yet fitting to the elegant. Somehow the New Girl star even managed to pull off a flower in her hair in a tasteful way.



Jennifer Lawrence:
Ugh...why Jlaw?! Trust me, it's actually painful for me to even think anything negative about her. I love Lawrence way too much, it is definitely beyond an unhealthy obsession. But really? The Dior gown was just awkward and not flattering. Anything she wore as Rosalind in American Hustle could've topped this (to be honest her wet suit from Catching Fire could've topped this...). However, Her makeup was stunning, and the new hair do is growing on me. Not to mention her flawless acceptance speech nearly brought me to tears.


(side note: Colton Haynes rocked the same look as Lawrence! Who wore it better? For real check out his instagram for the adorable pic)

Kerry Washington:
She looked incredible!! Her white Balanciaga gown featured, what she called "her best accessory of the night", her adorable baby bump. She looked pretty, just straight up girly, glam, pretty. And I loved it!

 

Lena Dunham:
Dunham's gown was as disappointing as the second season of Girls (come one we all know it went downhill after season one)Honestly, I think to a certain extent Dunham picks dresses that don't fit her to make some sort of point--not sure exactly what point that is. I LOVE her and her writing, and the fact that she isn't the conventional hollywood starlet. But can't she be unconventional in a dress that fits? Personally, I don't even mind the Zac Posen gown itself. I can even handle the bright canary yellow.. but does it fit? Don't celebrities get stuff custom made and altered and all that stuff? She looks like she's in some hand-me-down prom dress!
  

Margot Robbie:
I haven't seen Wolf of Wall street yet, so I was unaware of how breathtakingly beautiful Margot Robbie was in general. Last night she looked amazing. My favorite of the night. Robbie's cream Gucci gown with the perfect amount of jeweled details, and a deep V and high slit that she managed to keep completely classy. Her hair, her makeup, her jewelry...it was all just perfect. Honestly, in awe.

 

Recreate the look: Cher Horowitz

The big screen adaptation of Austen's Emma turned into the key 90's style icon. Were the knee-high socks, blazers, and plaid left in the 90s?- uhh As if! Cher's overly accessorized, preppy, valley-girl look can be recreated by the current trends in stores now.

This is one of my personal favorite Cher looks.


Here's how you can recreate Cher's classic look

1. I found this Button Down Oxford shirt from urban outfitters, on sale for $29


2. To replace Cher's argyle mini, I found this plaid mini from Zara. On sale for $39.99


3. Cher's blazer is similar to this solid black one from Bethany Mota's line at Aeropostale.

4. These silver heeled Mary Janes from TopShop are scarily accurate to Cher's shoes. And on sale now for only $45!

5. Finish off the look with these knee high socks from Urban Outfitters

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Nails

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I decided to do a nail design with the pink ribbon

1. I painted my nails white. 

2. I went over all of the nails with Revlon's whimsical to add a sheer blue tint and fun pastel glitter. 

3. I took a pink striper brush and created small strokes across the pointer, ring, and pinky fingers.

4. On the ring finger I created the ribbon.

5. I wrote "hope" on the thumb with the striper.

6. I took a black striper and create thin lines around the pink.

7. I waited for it to dry and added a topcoat :)

Essie Pennytalk Review

OMG! I have never hated a nail polish before this. I was so excited about this because it's a rose gold nail polish! But I tried it on and I hate it so much. I took it off and I'm going to go and try to return it. It has an inconsistent, thick, goopy consistency. The color dries really funny and it goes on very uneven. Overall, the color is just really icky looking too. It doesn't look like rose gold at all. So disappointed! :(

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation Review

Overall: I never bought the regular Revlon Colorstay foundation, but I tried it on at my cousin's house before. The foundation had good coverage, but it left my skin looking a little bit cakey and definitely not natural. The whipped foundation is the complete opposite! It has such amazing coverage, and is so blend-able, but has a very skin like finish. It isn't too dewey, but isn't matte either. It's the perfect balance between matte and glowy. I have definitely noticed a difference between my other foundations and this one. My skin look clearer, and the foundation doesn't fade throughout the day. I highly recommend this product!

Swatch: I have the foundation in the color Sand Beige

Product claims: REvlon claims that this product is 24 hours. I don't think any product is, or should, be able to last for 24 hours. However, this product has amazing staying power. It isn't cakey, and isn't too heavy, and has a really natural finish.

Packaging: Overall, the packaging is nice in terms of looks. The appearance looks like it is more expensive than it actually is. However, although it's nice to have a luxurious looking container it isn't very practical. It is difficult to travel with and the extra packaging is such a waste. I would've preferred a lighter weight container with less packaging waste. But the products is so good that I would repurchase it despite the obnoxious packaging.


Application: I just dab on a small amount onto different sections of my ace and blend it out with my fingers. I also tried applying it with y fingers and then blending it out with my sigma f80 flat top kabuki brush, but I think the brush soaks up the product and doesn't really blend it out as well as with my fingers. I don't really set the foundation because of the amazing staying power. Throughout the day sometimes I touchup and powder through my t-zone, but it isn't really necessary to powder this foundation.
