Velvet and Pearls for All the Girls + Combatting Holiday Blues

If there’s one trend you should greet with open arms this season, let it be velvet everything. I had a few velvet Christmas dresses growing up so it feels like a full circle moment to see it make such a big comeback. It only seemed right to snag this bodysuit as it combines some of the hottest trends right now: velvet, kimonos, and bodysuits. The pearl button detail adds a fun embellishment that can be dressed up or down too. I’m also discussing holiday blues and some ways to deal with the overwhelming feelings that often pop up this time of year.

Affordable Lipstick?! My Favorite ColourPop Shades

After I wrote about beauty products that I keep repurchasing, a lot of you asked for more about ColourPop and what my favorite lip colors were from the brand. If you’re not familiar with ColourPop, they are a beauty brand that produces super affordable makeup products and tools. Last week, they launched a limited product line at Sephora.

I’ve purchased quite a few of their lipsticks; at $6 they’re drugstore prices with a pigment level that competes with high-end lipsticks. I’m sharing a handful of my favorite shades from the cruelty free brand in three of the different formulas: Ultra Matte, Ultra Satin, and the Lippie Stix.

Affordable Lipstick?! My Favorite ColourPop Shades | More Better

My first ColourPop purchase was a mini set {here’s another mini option!} of the Ultra Matte lipsticks. It’s a great way to try out the product since you get a few different shades. More Better is one of my favorite colors from my set; the berry shade applies evenly with one coat. I get a lot of wear out of this color during the fall months as it’s the perfect wine hue that doesn’t make your teeth look yellow.
