Christian Loubou(sa)tin

High Heels. An accessory that society has created for women that tricks them into believing that they need it in order to be seen as sexy and classy. I have fallen for this trickery. I, like many women, own several pairs of heels, from high end to cheapy basics, but nothing compares to the oh-so-popular Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100MM.

These shoes are honestly the devil, although Mr. Christian Louboutin himself stated he does not make shoes for comfort but more for aesthetics, I was hoping these bad boys would at least be more comfortable than they are. I purchased mine a few years back from Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. When S.A brought out several heights and sizes, I fell in love. Knowing myself, I knew I would not be able to deal with the 120mm, because when I tried them on I started to lean forward, so I opted out for the 100( about 4in) which is the normal height for heels for me. I trotted around in the store, and loved them. The plush carpet made me feel as if I was walking on a cloud. I whipped out my card and I became an owner of my second pair of C.L (first and last pair of Pigalles).

The first few times I wore these they were manageable until the 10 min mark hit. I found myself having to bite the bullet refusing to take them off, (I really despise taking off my shoes in public). Pretty much, these shoes have barely any soles, so the ball of feet is constantly face planting on the ground. Although these are the typical 4in, they are very steep so you basically turn into a ballerina. Lastly I'm lucky enough to not have a wide foot so the pointed toe does not bother me, but what does bother me is that my foot slide further into the front of the shoe box making it feel pretty uncomfortable.

Would I discourage people from buying this? No. If you truly want these shoes...get them... it is your money. But since I'm not an avid high heel wearer (I'm more of an 3in boot wearer) I do not find these very comfortable. When I do have fancy events to attend, I still whip them out, but making sure whatever I am attending allows me ample sitting down time.

M.A.C | My New Obsession

Happy 2016 All!

Unless you have lived under a rock, you probably know and or own a beauty product from M.A.C. I growing up was always fond of makeup, and when I say makeup I mean mascara and Chapstick, but being a member of the youtube community for a while now, I've been exposed to so many low and high end products.

I remember purchasing my first ever M.A.C product my freshman year, which is my trusty Ruby Woo lipstick. I felt like I was "the man", at 17 years old owning such an expensive product! Woah Baller ALERT! I later ended up giving it to my sister who fell in love with this rich matte ruby shade. Luckily enough I repurchased it a few years later, and it definitely is the same product I fell in love with. It is so velvety to look at, and also to the touch.

The next 2 M.A.C products I was able to get my hands on were Soar(pictured) and Chicory(no longer in my possession). Of course this was at the time when Kylie Jenner blossomed into the mega sex icon that she is now. So of course I wanted to have these pink nude lips that she had, I already am blessed with plump lips so I never needed to partake in the lip suctioning trend that she started. Sadly I lost Chicory whilst vacationing in Rome, Italy in summer 2015, and it's been out of stock for the longest.

Soar Lip Liner

Chicory Lip Liner

One evening I was going through a friends makeup bag just being nosy, and found M.A.C Sin, she said I could have it because she does not like the color! I was so happy because it was brand new, free, and the rich burgundy color absolutely complemented my skin tone.

I stumbled upon my third M.A.C lipstick through my favorite Youtuber/blogger Mouldyfruit, and it is M.A.C Whirl, Oh how this beautiful pink/nude/brown shade compliments my skin tone and lips. It also pairs great with every single lip liner and color I own.

The last M.A.C lipstick I own is Viva Glam Miley Cyrus gifted to me christmas 2015. I have yet to wear this one, it is a bright pink which slightly intimidates ( I refuse to go out looking like a foolish clown). But when I applied this, i went on so smoothly. The brightness is definitely due to the fact that is it an "Amplified Creme"

Lastly-for now- I recently purchased M.A.C oh so popular Nightmoth lip liner. Guys, when I tell you this is such a pigmented eggplant color, it goes on so smoothly and it stays on!

Most of the lipsticks are matte, but luckily for me they do not dry my lips out, I always make sure to keep my lips hydrated and moisturized prior to applying any lip product, and throughout the day and night.

  Which M.A.C lippies are your fave?
