Plus Size Haulage: Eloquii (Review)

Hey dolls,

One of my New Year's resolutions is to become more stylish. I really want to be adventurous with my fashion sense and step out of my comfort zone. I figured I would share my experience with you :)

This post features a plus size company by the name of Eloquii which happens to be the plus size division of The Limited. Their website is easy to navigate through and you can easily find what you're looking for with just one click.

Eloquii's clothing is very well made, sturdy and is made with good quality materials that will not break down on you. Their pieces are classic with a bit of flare. Although Eloquii's clothing is on the pricier side the pieces they have will never go out of fashion.

I found that the clothing is pretty true to size, but one of the blazer's I purchased did run a little big. I would recommend using their measuring guide just to make sure your items fit like a glove :) but no worries, if you do need to return anything you purchase they do offer free returns.

If you do need help trying to pick out items to add to your wardrobe Eloquii does offer a styling tool called "shape my style" which picks out clothing pieces based on your answers to a few questions.

When you sign up for Eloquii emails they will give you a coupon code to use towards your purchase and you will get 15% off. I have noticed that they are constantly having specials, for example right now they are having a 30% off one item, 40% of 2 items and 50% off 3 items.

Overall I will definately purchase from Eloquii in the future, especially for casual and work pieces that I know I can wear years down the line without them going out of style.

Review: Wet N Wild Limited Edition Holiday Palettes

If you haven't already guessed I'm a bit obsessed with Wet N Wild products. Hands down Wet N wild is one of the best drugstore cosmetic brands out there. I always browse the beauty sections at my local drugstores to see if there's anything new and was so excited to see that Wet N Wild came out with 2 new 8 pan eyeshadow palettes. They did come out with a third palette called "Drinking a Glass of Shine" but that is exactly the same as their "I heart matte" palette

 

The 2 other Wet N Wild palettes: "Shimmer The Night Away", which is a group of black and smokey gray colors along with bright intense purple shades & "Sparkle Til Morning" which has neutral shimmery shades of taupe, cream and golden/bronzy colors with a pop of teal really caught my eye and I had to pick them up!

 

The pictures below were taken with my cell phone which DO NOT do these colors any justice! When you get a chance you must stop by your local drugstore and check these palettes out, you won't regret it.

 

What do I really think of these palettes? For only $4.99 you get 8 different eyeshadow shades that are buttery smooth, blend effortlessly, are super pigmented and are so long lasting.... duh!!!! they are a keeper :)

Influenster Re-Launch!!!

Hey dolls,

I just wanted to share some information with you on this website called Influenster. For those of you that haven't heard of Influenster, it's a fun site that individuals can complete questionnaires based on products they send to you for review. Based on "badges" you unlock will qualify you for VoxBoxes which are packages they send you with products to use and review.

They have recently revamped their website and let me tell you I love it! I like the fact that you can interact with other influensters, before you weren't able to. You can see what badges they are unlocking, what products they are reviewing, it's fabulous.  I'm still trying to manuever through the website but I'm liking it so far.

If you haven't already joined try it out! It's a fun way to interact with people, share your likes and dislikes with others and share your opinions. Here is a link: influenster.com

 

Take care loves

Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette - Fall Jewel Tone Makeup

 

 

Hey dolls,

I have had the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone palette for quite some time now and finally decided to bust it out and bring you this tutorial!!

Wet N Wild NEVER disappoints me, their quality and pigmentation of their eyeshadows and ease of application is amazing. The eyeshadows are so buttery smooth and blend so well it really makes makeup application so easy!

I know I will probably make some high end makeup users mad but Wet N Wild products are so much better than some of the higher end cosmetic companies out there.

You will see below how pigmented the eyeshadows are in the Wet N Wild brand and for the price of about $3.99 per palette you can't really go wrong!!

I can't wait to post more tutorials using all of the other Wet N Wild eyeshadow palettes, so stay tuned for future tutorials :)
