ZARA: The Perfect Essential Trousers

I am loving all of Zara's trousers! I think they are the perfect combination of trendy and basic. The tailoring and quality of these pants give off an illusion that they are designer! They are each timeless pieces and perfectly price!

I plan on purchasing these pieces:

 

1) Camouflage trousers with zips.....$59.90

I will be wearing this fall's street fashion trend (camo) as pants instead of the parka.

2) Diamond Print Trousers...............$79.90

I love the look of relax harem pants, but because I am petite, they just don't look right on me. So instead I'm opting for a silhouette that is a little more structured. I'm also a big fan of the "PJ's" look.

3) Light Satin Jeans..........................$59.90

If you usually wear more monochromatic mute colors like I do, red skinnies are an easy way to add a pop of color to your outfit. 

4) Coated Trousers with zip.............$79.90

I want to wear these with everything this fall! Especially oversized jumpers and military style booties!

Love,

Mel

Gimmicky Lip Products?

 From Left to Right:

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick

I give this product 3 stars(out of 5). It's great as a stain(more of a glossy stain), I love how smoothly it glides on and the color is very pigmented. But the reason I rated it a 3 is because it sucks as a lip balm! Makes your lips feel moisturized but honestly, dries up my lips within 30 minutes.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Cherish

I love Revlon's lipstains for their color choices but Cherish is not for naturally dark lips. The color that best suites me is Passion and that's the only reason why I buy this lipstain. It doesn't last for very long, so you constantly have to reapply, it runs out really fast and the tip dries out quickly. And i don't even touch the balm.

 NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo

OMG. I've been wanting something like this for some time now. Its such a unique formula that is kind of like...a lipstain meets a lipstick. And they have beautiful blush tone colors. Just make sure you have on a good chapstick on, beforehand or your lips will dry out -still not as drying as Revlon's Balm stain though.

Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart

This is my personal favorite. It is the most pigmented lip balm I have ever used and at the same time very buildable and sheer. It keeps my lips moisturized throughout the day and the color lasts for a good few hours. The only thing is that I wish they had more colors. Next color I'm aiming for is Tutti Frutti.

Conclusion:

Yes. I personally do find them quite gimmicky. But, I love them nonetheless. Its fun to try on and they are unique. 

-Try the lip butters, I HIGHLY recommend them. 

-Buy your Revlon products from HEB, if you have access to one, they usually have a $2-3 dollars off coupon, this is the only time I buy their products.

Hoped you guys enjoyed my review and my first post ;).
