Get The Lipstick Look Right!


Do you know what today is?  It's National Lipstick Day!  And to celebrate, we are going to bring you some helpful hints and tricks to help you achieve that lipstick look and do it right!:

  1. Pair with liquid liner
    • Quick and Easy!  Try pairing reds and pinks with purples and blue undertones.
  2. Create a classic look
    • Create a classic look by pairing your favorite lipstick with separates that never go out of style.
  3. Mix bright hues
    • By adding a little contrast with your lipstick and your blouse or dress, you are sure to stand out in the crowd!
  4. Make it your signature!
    • I have done this with my hair and even my red glasses, but you can also make your lipstick your signature too!  Once you find a color that you are comfortable with, wear it religiously!
  5. Add a pop of color
    • I usually like to use a pink or a bright red when I am wearing a simple outfit or 1 color such as white or black.
  6. Soft to bold
    • Sometimes it's nice to have a natural face, and then take it to the extreme with the lips, such as using a deep berry or burgundy color.
  7. Complement Retro Style
    • You can achieve this look with examples such as pairing a classic navy blue and white polka dot dress with a bright red lipstick.
Now if you need help when it comes to actually applying lipstick to get a nice, clean look check out this video below.  She gives a tutorial on how to apply lipstick with or without lip liner:

Hope these tips will and have helped you achieve that perfect lip, and as always like, share, comment, and SUBSCRIBE!

Book Shelf Into Shoe Rack? Heck yes!

Just wanted to share a cool and easy DIY!  The idea actually came from my cousin Kristina that turned her book shelf into a trendy and cute shoe rack!

Bye Bye Arden B., Hello Wet Seal Plus

     Living in St. Louis there aren't a lot of stores that have unique styles while still holding on to the classic and classy look.  Luckily my best friend/sissy was the one who introduced me to a store everyone probably knows by now, better known as Arden B.  I started shopping at Arden B. my senior year of high school and have been ever since.  Recently going to the mall I went into the Arden B. store and notice a change in everything, the clothing, the prices, and had to ask what's going on?  And was given the devastating news....Arden B is going out of business!  My heart sank, my hopes were shattered, but luckily they were brought back up again when I learned that they are switching the store from Arden B. to Wet Seal Plus (they are sister stores if you didn't know).  With the transitioning of brands and the new look of the store, that means sales, on top of sales, on top of more sales!  For Wet Seal Plus in store they have a buy 1 get 1 50% off on everything within the store, to help gear up for their official store launch August 26th in the St. Louis Galleria.  For all remaining Arden B. products, in store it is 70% off, and online it is 60% off EVERYTHING!

this is a crop top I bought from what they had left of the Arden B. products.  It was originally $29.00, with the 70% off I only paid $9.45 with tax!

    I definitely took advantage of both promotions (see picture above) especially with the buy 1 get 1 50% off for Wet Seal Plus.  I am not necessarily plus size but I am thicker than most, and I don't like my clothes to be skin tight so I was excited about this promotion as well.  I am definitely sad to see Arden B. go, but I am excited to see what Wet Seal Plus has instore.  I suggest heading over to both sites to take advantage of the great savings and also head over to the store in the St. Louis Galleria if you are in the area!

Wrap Party!!!

It Works Wraps

     I recently attended the Aquatica Streetscape Fashion Show this past Saturday.  Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the entire event, but while I was there I was able to meet some great reps for the It Works Wraps.  I know a lot of you are some what familiar with this product, which are the wraps that help you shed inches in less than an hour.  I personally have not tried them and I am curious to see if they work.  So I thought it would be a wonderful idea to have a wrap party!!!  I am inviting 8 of my friends/readers to attend this event.  This will be on August 30th at 1pm at my house.  Each person just needs to pay $25 which covers the cost of the instructional presentation and actual demonstration of the wrap it!  Yes, each person will be able to get wrapped!  If you would like to attend please email me at info@mindofafashionista.com so I can make sure I have enough room for guests, again my maximum is 8.  We will be doing a live product review as well so if you come you will be apart of this too!  I will be providing healthy snacks as well as a thank you for participating so get pumped, get excited, and lets wrap it!

Spicy Shelf Giveaway

Have you ever needed to organize all of your accessories (cosmetics, beauty supplies, crafts, etc.) but couldn't find anything to suffice?  Well here is the answer!  Spicy Shelf is the next hit when it comes to organization.  The Spicy Shelf is "a stackable organizer that nearly doubles useable storage space while also making every spice in the cabinet easily visible. Guaranteed to fit any size cupboard or pantry, there’s no complicated installation – simply use existing shelf pins or the included freestanding legs." Now I know what you'e thinking, Spicy Shelf sounds like something for the kitchen.  And you're totally right, but that doesn't mean us Fashionistas can't use it too!  Don't believe me?  Check out the video below:
