October ULTA Haul

This is my first ULTA Haul video, I didn't go crazy overboard with my purchases, but took advantage of a few deals and coupons! I haven't used everything yet and I'm already itching to go back! It must be those ULTA newsletters I receive, they always get me!

NYX Butter Lipstick Haul from ULTA

Other than NYX Cosmetics' Matte Lipsticks which I tried last summer, I haven't tried any other NYX lip products. I was excited to pick up these NYX butter lipsticks from ULTA because they were buy one get one 50% off, I wanted to stock up on some new colors, and see if the lipsticks were moisturizing. The lipsticks did apply with lightweight coverage and my lips felt moisturized while wearing the lipstick and after removing the lipstick. It's a great way to wear color without feeling like you're wearing a heavy lipstick; it glides on easily and has a nice satin finish. If you want to enhance the color and the longevity of the lipstick, apply a lip liner before the lipstick. See the colors I purchased with the lipstick swatches and lip application below.

How to Wear a Summer White Dress at Night

Andrew and I were invited to lifestyle blogger Rachel Mccord's event at the Skybar, Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood last week. Seeing that it was a summer night at a rooftop bar, I wanted to wear an all-white look. I had just brought home this Line + Dot Spring Life Apron dress from their Summer 2015 preview and kept the look fresh and simple with a pair of nude pointed pumps from Charles David, and amped up the look for the evening with a red lip. Wear a slim to semi-fitted white dress with nude heels for an instant summer hot look. Keep your lips nude or add a pop up color with a vibrant red, pink, or coral lip color. Here are the details on the look:
