Revlon by Marchesa Nail Art 3D Jewel Appliqués in Gilded Mosaic
Jewelry from Bauble Bar & J.Crew Factory
A little while ago, I blogged about the nail art collaboration between Revlon and Marchesa.  Now I got quick sneak peek of the Revlon by Marchesa Nail Art 3D Jewel Appliqués (US $9.99 / CA $8.95).  I can't tell you how excited I am to try them out, but I'm going to hold it off until I get my macro lens so it will do the detail on these appliqués justice.  Meanwhile, let's take a first look at 6 out of the 8 Nail Art 3D Jewel Appliqués, along with some jewelry pairings that I put together.

Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep... How cute is the packaging?
"Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more" - Gimme More by Britney Spears.

This is what I would sing when I'm growing my brows out.  I was born with unruly and sparse brows.  I have embraced that and just been filling it in everyday and hope for the best.  But it has become a chore that I don't really enjoy doing.  One thing that annoys me the most is that I don't always get them right, until the Benefit Gimme Brow* (US $22.00 / CA $26.00) came along.

It's not a secret that I'm scared of wearing red lip colour.  Yes, it might be a little too dramatic but I was never comfortable in red lip colour.  I can do bright pinks, just not red (let's not get me started with darker vampy shades, I'm still learning).  I tried to convince myself to get used to it but I just couldn't, until RiRi Woo.

The sold-out RiRi Woo lip trios from MAC Cosmetics' most recent collection, RiRi Hearts MAC.  The colour is a true red with a blue undertone.  The cooler share is quite suitable for my yellow complexion.  The Lipstick, Pro Longwear Lip Pencil and Lipglass share the same colour and compliment each other very well.

RiRi Hearts MAC is definitely the most anticipated MAC collection in 2013.  Today (September 26, 2013) is the MAC store release date, and I had a whole biking adventure to my closest store just so I can get my wish list items.  But in fact, I have not been very interested in MAC limited edition items until this collection.  Sure, I always like MAC products, they are great quality but I am usually more drawn to the permanent items.  Having said that, this collection really features a lot of good quality products and I just couldn't say no to the pink and rose gold packaging.

Chambray Shirt: J.Crew (similar here) | Crochet Dress & Infinity Scarf: American Eagle Outfitters | Leggings: Forever 21 (similar here) | Mini Satchel: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target | Shoes: TOMS

I have had this crochet dress since early summer (first instagram'ed here), but I still haven't had a chance to wear it until yesterday.  I'm glad it got some use on the first day of fall :).  It was quite chilly outside, so I threw my chambray shirt on and put on these Forever 21 leggings (they are so darn comfortable and warm).  Huge shout out to Emily from THISWASFOREVER, who helped me got the Mini Satchel from the coveted 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection!  I'm loving it!

Since it's officially Fall, I have to start shopping for winter leggings and tights.  I need to be more prepared this coming Winter because if history was to repeat itself, I won't have the time to do that when January rolls around.  I got some great deals from Forever 21 last year, hopefully they will bring back those thermal lined tights :).  Where is your favourite place to shop for leggings and tights?
On another note, I also started posting on LOOKBOOK.nu, well, this is my first post haha.  Go check it out as I'm sure I will have more outfit post coming up :).

Until next time,


x Rica
