My Personal Style

Hey Everyone!

I want to start a new segment on my blog where I create outfits for you guys that represent my own personal style. I think that my personal style can be described in two words: BoHo and Casual Chic. I love the feel and look of Bohemian clothes. They have a very relaxed look to them, while still being fresh and totally cute.Two celebrities who rock the BoHo style, in my opinion, are Nicole Richie and Miley Cyrus. I definitely look up to them as my style icons in terms of my BoHo look. They always pull it off well, without portraying it as a "lazy" style.

The second way that I described my personal style was in the term "Casual Chic." I think that this is a perfect term to represent my style because I am not someone who will be seen in fancy and expensive clothes from head to toe everyday. My two concerns when picking out an outfit to wear each day are: comfort and chic. I always have to be comfortable in the clothes that I wear or it will ruin my day and my time spent in them. Although, it is often hard to find something that is comfortable without looking sloppy. That's why I would call my style casual chic! The clothes that I wear everyday are, for the most part, pretty casual, but the way I put them together I'd like to say is chic. I tend to wear skinny jeans or leggings, a cute blouse, shirt, or tee underneath a loose fitted sweater paired cute booties. This way, the casual jeans are complimented by a nice, chic top and sweater- not to mention the cute booties to booth! Rachel Bilson rocks the casual chic look and I definitely look up to her as a style icon for my casual chic look.

In my next post I am going to create an outfit that symbolizes my style for you guys to hopefully spark something in your everyday style. 

Until next time...

Xx,

Review #1: Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

Hey Everyone!

The first product I want to review in my review series is Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Foundation. I just recently purchased this foundation and have absolutely fallen in love with it. I can hands down say that this is the best full-coverage foundation I have ever used. This foundation comes in a full spectrum of colors so don't worry that your skin is either too light or dark. This foundation can apply to all skin tones. The color I use definitely fits my skin tone and does not look either too light or too dark, which is something that is hard to find in a foundation. This foundation is full-coverage and leaves every inch of your skin looking flawless. All you have to do is apply a little smaller-than-a-coin size of the foundation to your index finger, rub between your other index finger to even out the foundation, and then apply accordingly throughout your whole face. After you apply it to your face, you will be pleasantly surprised by it's completely natural look as opposed to that cake-y foundation look. The first day I wore this foundation, people commented that my skin looked "amazing" and "so clear," which was nice because they didn't instead tell me that my foundation looked nice. That's how natural this foundation looks! Something else that I've noticed that I'm super happy about is that this foundation hasn't  broken out my skin- ever. I have very sensitive skin and usually any new product, such as foundation, can often irritate my skin and brake it out. Although, as I just said, my skin has remained clear! So for all of you with skin like mine, I definitely recommended this product! This foundation also hydrates your skin while it's giving you full coverage, which I've definitely noticed as well. Lastly, this foundation is really long-lasting! If you're someone who does something that makes you sweat daily, like a sport of form of dance, this foundation will definitely work for you. It will last through your sweat and always last all day. An occasional touch-up to your face will seldom be necessary as this product seriously never cakes or sweats off. Overall, this foundation will NOT disappoint! So if you are currently looking for a good full-coverage, creme foundation, that will not brake your skin out and that's long-lasting, this will not fail you! I give this product 5 stars!

I bought my Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation at my local Sephora, so if you'd like to purchase this product you can buy it at your local Sephora as well. 

I hope you enjoyed this review and make sure to leave any comments you have about this review, or anything else you'd like to say regarding this post, in the comment section below! Also, make sure to check in next week for my next review and also don't forget to check in daily for more non-review related posts!

The Start of Something New: Reviews!

Hey Everyone!

Over the last few days, I've been trying to think of ideas to blog about. Since I want to blog often, I want each post to help and inspire you all. Although this blog is mostly designated towards fashion, sometimes it can be hard to think of something new as well as exciting to blog about since not much really changes or evolves day to day. I've decided to start a new little series on my blog where I review anything beauty and fashion related. For instance, if I go shopping and buy a really pretty necklace from a store, I'll review my thoughts on it and give you all details on where you can purchase (or in some cases, NOT purchase) this item. I will try to do a review on something once a week. What do you guys think of this new idea? I think it could be really fun! What I like about this new idea is that it's going to be very interactive. You guys can send me emails on things you would like me to review (sparkyourstyle@gmail.com) and we'll have interactive chats in the comments below. Advertisers of their products are always going to try to make their product seem like it's the best this or the best that. But I'm here to set the record straight and give all of you my true opinion on all the items I purchase.

I will be writing a review later today so make sure to look out for it!

Xx,
Spark Your Style

Nails, Nails, Nails

Hey Guys!

We're in that time of the year where it's hard to experiment with many different styles because of the harsh, winter weather. (At least for those who live in areas where winter is extremely cold - like me!) Because of heavy coats, baggy sweaters, and snow boots, our style choice is pretty limited. Personally, I don't like winter that much because I hate the cold and the inability to just go outside in a nice sweater and jeans! The weight that winter brings in terms of fashion really weighs me, and I'm sure all of you, down. Although, there is ONE thing that any girl can benefit from during any season and that is nail polish! I know it may seem silly, but a good color can really make or add to your outfit. My two favorite nail polish brands are Essie and OPI. In the winter, the colors that look the best are darker colors, of course. Dark purples, black, dark greens (for example: military green), grays, deep reds, and any shades in between. My favorite winter colors are: 

**OPI**

1. Purple with a Purpose - Purple

2. Pamplona Purple - Purple

3. Black Cherry Chutney - Deep Purple with a hint of Red

4. Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow - Deep Green 

5. Light my Sapphire - Deep Blue

6. Lincoln Park After Dark - Deep Plum 

7. Malaga Wine - Deep Red 

**ESSIE**

1. Bordeaux - Deep Red (wine)

2. Bahama Mama - Rich Plum 

3. Material Girl - Deep Burgundy  

4. Lady Godiva - Deep chocolate

So those are my suggestions for you guys on great colors for this cold winter season! I hope this has helped you don't hesitate to email me suggestions for future blog posts! 

Xx,

Spark Your Style

Online Website Recommendations!

Hey Everyone!

Sorry that I haven't blogged in FOREVER, but I've been super busy. But, I'm BACK! So I just wanted to tell you guys about my new current obsession. Now, you all probably know about these websites, but I just want to tell you about them myself. They are online shopping websites. The two that I currently cannot get off of are "http://www.singer22.com/" and "http://www.shopnastygal.com/" Those two websites literally are my exact style and I'm so happy I came across them, because for some reason as of late, shopping has been a little dull for me. I haven't been able to find any clothes that I really, really love and that represent my style well. But these websites do! I was a little hesitant about shopping on an online store where you cannot physically try on the clothes. If your like me, you always want to try on what you pick out at a store before you buy it just in case it looks totally different from what you envisioned. Although, the clothes on these websites are just too good for me to pass up. I wanted to tell you guys and hopefully spark a new flame in your style! The good thing about these online shopping websites is that if you don't like what you order or it doesn't fit you correctly you can return it for free. These two websites have literally made me so happy so I hope I can give you guys who haven't heard about these online websites a chance to check them out and hopefully love them just like me!

Until next time...

Spark Your Style
