Playing Dress Up: Which Outfit of the Day to Choose?

As I've mentioned before, I wear a uniform to work every day. This means that on my days off, I have tons of fun putting outfits together, choosing accessories to go with them and so on. This is especially true when I go out with my boyfriend or friends.

Today I have two great new outfits that I purchased recently and I love.


 The first is an abstract pattern lace dress from Forever 21 that I saw online and instantly fell in love.

This is the picture from the Forever 21 website:

 This is how I looked in it:

The shoes are  Steve Madden's Realize shoes in Black Suede, which are actually 40 % off right now on their website and in stores. There are so many great things I can say about this shoes. They are cute, versatile and the heel is the perfect height.

My ring is is the Vintage Violet Stretch Ring by Mark. , which can be found in my eboutique

My dog, Mia, was trying to get in all of my pictures, so I gave her the spotlight that she wanted and took only a picture of her. She, however, gave me her unamused (-_-) face. lol

Anyway, moving on to the last accessory. The headband is also from Forever 21 and it is super cute and comfortable. 

The first is the Mark. Wrap Star Dress with the Mark. Straight Up Sassy Heals


My second look is the Wrap Star Dress by Mark.

This is Ashley Green wearing the dress, which can be seen in my eboutique

This is how I wore it:

You really can't go wrong with a wrap dress. It's comfortable, fits perfectly and looks very pretty. The Wrap Star Dress is $36.

I wore the dress with shoes by Mark. as well.  They are called Straight Up Sassy heels and they are only $40 and can also be found on my eboutique. They look fabulous!

Which look do you guys like better? Which one should I wear on my next day off?

Shimmer Makes Everything Better

Today I was playing with some of my nail polishes, so I have a couple of Julep swatches for you.

The first is Julep's Mischa. It's a red orange color with shimmer.

I love this color. It's super gorgeous and easy to work with.

I also painted my nails with Julep's Maggie and Julep's Mila.

Julep's Maggie is a dark purple with shimmer. Since it's so dark, I think that the shimmer enhances the look of the polish and makes it prettier.
Julep's Mila is a full coverage glitter polish. Although it's more silvery than anything else, it also has red, green and gold glitter in it.

I used these two colors to do a sort of reverse manicure.

This is how it turned out:

What do you guys think?

I love silvery glittery with purple polishes. I think they go so well together.


By the way, if you like this nail polish and want to know more about the Maven subscription box program, you can do an introductory box for a penny. If you want to do this, just go to the website (Click Here)  take the quiz and put in the code COLORS4ONE during checkout. This is good for only the first month though. However, you can always cancel after that if you aren't satisfied with the polishes.

Out of This World- Nails & Makeup

Last night Refinery29 posted a picture up of a super cute manicure, so of course I wanted to try it out.

This was the original photo that they posted:

Here is my manicure that I did this morning. (Sorry it's a bit fuzzy)

Even my doggie, Mia, can't believe how bad my picture is. hehehehe

Anyway, back to the nails. For the blue, I used Essie's Aruba Blue. For the silver, I used Illamasqua's Glory .

When my mother saw the mani, she told me that it looked like I had on a NASA manicure. 
I think she is completely right. This is now my new NASA Manicure and it is out of this world. 
Yes, that is my actual NASA shirt by the way. I was just like any other kid when I was little. I wanted to work as an astronomer for NASA. Isn't that what every little kid wants to do?

 



For my Out Of This World makeup, I took inspiration from Mark. 's new magalog.

After playing with makeup, this is what I came up with:

For My Face I used:
Mark. Got The Goods Foundation lotion with spf 15 in LIGHT 3
Mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette for a nice bronze glow
On the cheeks, I used Mark. Light Show Illuminating Face Powder

For my Eyes:
I used Mark.  Star Status Eyeshadow Palette in Meteor Showers

From the Palette, I used the white, silverish color in my inner eyes and lids.
I used the green on outer lids and corners
The black , charcoal color I used as a liner for my lower and upper lash line.

The green color on this palette actually shows up on my skin as more of a Moss Color then a green, so I layered the color with I-mark Wet/Dry Eye Shadow in Empress 

For the Lips, I used Mark. Make It Rich Lip Color Crayon in Naturally.  

I love this new Star Status Palette, especially the white color. It's gorgeous! What do you guys think?

New Hair - Accessorize Time!

With the leaves changing colors, air getting crispier and pumpkin spice scent in the air, I figured it was time to change my hair.

I've been wanting to get red ombre hair, so I decided to finally go for it. I went to Artim Salon and Spa in East Hanover and Candice made my vision come to life.

Here are the results. I really like how it turned out, but the color looks better in person then in these pictures:

With new hair, I need cute accessories to go with it. Thankfully, Mark. (by Avon) has some really cute hair accessories out right now.



One of my new favorite hair clips is the Mark. Good Hair Day Clip.
The earrings are also by Mark. and they are called Smoke and Mirror Earrings

My hair also looks great with my Mark. Add Sparkle Headbands

 

By the way, my makeup was inspired by page 8 of the new magalog. (Want a magalog? Email me at  markitgirlsteph@yahoo.com and I will send one to you)

Here is the page:

For Foundation, I used Got The Goods in Very Light 2 color.
The purple eyeliner that I used along the lower lash lines is Mark.'s new liquid eyeliner Metal Works in Venus. I really like it because it gives a nice pop of color. I'm going to be using it often.

For the shadows I used i-mark wet/ dry eye shadows in jazzy and luvstruck and even used the new Light Show illuminating Face Powder on the creases of my eye.
The eyeliner I used along the upper lash line is Mark. No Place to Run in Jet Set.
For my lips, I used my new go to color Punch, which is a Make it Rich Lip Color Crayon.
