The Sunday Spot #25 - Chicwish and a Mary Kay Review!

If you haven't noticed, my current obsession is Chicwish. I've worn a few of their items here and here, and could not be more impressed. I love how beautiful and unique each piece is and the quality is outstanding. Both pieces I ordered came packaged neatly and 1. looked just like the photos and 2. were made of high quality fabric. What's even better? The prices are super affordable! I'm hooked. It's my newest site to check daily as they always have new arrivals! Check out a few of the items I'm currently craving and head over to Chicwish to check out the rest!

A few weeks ago, I received these samples of Mary Kay courtesy of Influenster. I've been trying them out since and here are my thoughts...

Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara ($15) : I really love the volume this mascara gives me. It definitely gives more than the average drugstore mascara! I also love that it stays on all day. I had no 'melting' issues that occasionally occur with other mascaras I've used. Cons? A little clumpy, but after perfecting the technique (slowly applying) I did not have this issue!

Mary Kay Cream Eye Color in Apricot Twist ($14) : I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! It's a beautiful color with just the right amount of shimmer. It glides on and STAYS, which is something I must have in an eyeshadow! I would definitely purchase this product again!

Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Shy Blush ($12) : This is a really beautiful glowy color. I loved the way it looks on, it's definitely very natural. I like a little bit brighter of blush, but love the formula and how it looks when applied! 

Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder ($16): This product has become my new BFF. I have oily skin and by the end of the day, my face is usually pretty shiny. An application of this product after putting on all of my makeup was like a magic trick. I saw way less shine and it allowed my makeup to stay fresh all day. There were a few times I even applied this during the middle of the day and it allowed me to not have to re-do any of my makeup...I love that! 

Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner with Expandable Brush Applicator in Jet Black ($18): This eyeliner is pretty awesome. It goes on amazingly well, and definitely gives the intense vibe you crave when going with a cat-eyed or smokey look! I'm not a huge eyeliner girl, and usually just stick to lining my upper lid, but this definitely gave me a new perspective! 

Mary Kay Bronzing Powder ($18): This bronzer is also a new favorite of mine. It perfectly settles in to your skin to give you that sun kissed look you crave without looking orange. It's the perfect natural looking bronzer and I would definitely purchase this again! 

Mary Kay NouriShine Plus Lip Glos in Mango Tango ($14): This product completely changed my idea of lip gloss. I have never been that into lip gloss, since the days of middle school and the uber shiny glosses ruined my view. I don't like lipgloss that looks like you could see your reflection in it or is super sticky. This product is awesome. I loved the color, loved the perfect amount of shine and LOVED THAT IT ISN'T STICKY. New favorite. 

Mary Kay Brushes: Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush ($10) and Cheek Brush ($14): Both brushes have the one quality I look for...softness. If I am using a brush on my face, it has to be soft! I loved that both of these were incredibly soft and applied the product nicely!

Overall, I am pretty impressed with these products! I always thought Mary Kay was for older women, but this has definitely changed my mind! I would definitely buy quite a few of these products again! I love that they have jumped on the mineral train and adore the cream eye colors and gel eyeliners! Check out these products and more at Mary Kay!

 If you've been following my blog for awhile, you know that I graduated with a BA in Elementary Education 2 years ago. After college and student teaching, I moved back home as I loved my hometown, am a total family girl and had a dream of teaching at the my old elementary school. Little did I know how difficult it would be to get a job in my town, and spent the past two years subbing and doing a few long-term jobs. I applied for a few jobs here and there, but had my heart set on working at my elementary school. 

When a job opened at my old school, I immediately applied and waited on pins and needles for an interview. Almost a month after applying, I got the call with an offer to interview! It was the most exciting yet terrifying experiences, as 5 people from the school drilled me with questions. Guys, I left the interview feeling absolutely defeated. I stumbled over my words, repeated myself and didn't think there was any way they would call me with good news.

Over a week later, I got the call. I GOT THE JOB! I am so excited to share with you that I will have my own classroom next year and be teaching 1st grade! I am sure I will have plenty of stories to share with you and plenty of 'teacher' outfits! 

I have two distinct styles. Teacher and NON-teacher. I think you will have a pretty easy time telling what I wore to school VS what I wore on the weekend! For example, these pictures were taken after a day of subbing. I definitely love wearing dresses in the classroom and love mixing prints! 

Anyways, I'm over the moon about my new adventure and am so excited (and a little nervous) about having my own group of kiddos next year! Can't wait to share with you!!

The Dress of Summer

 Dress: 'Full Flower Cut Crochet White Dress'  c/o Chicwish 

Necklace: Boutique

Hat: Target - similar 

Booties: Nordstrom BP 'Trolley' Leather Ankle Booties

 It's this time of year that I always start the hunt for a new summer IT dress. The only qualification? It has to be white. There's nothing like a fresh, crisp white dress to usher in the first days of summer. A little white dress that can see me through breezy summer days of running errands or a special date night is a summer wardrobe must have.

This little white dress from Chicwish meets all of my summer needs. I love that it's white (DUH!) but has a unique floral pattern that's fun and airy for those humid summer days and nights. I know I'm going to be wearing this way too often this summer, it's just the easiest, cutest LWD. 

Doing a little linking up today!

Sunnies: 'Round Retro Sunnies in Red Tortoise Frame' c/o Sunglass Warehouse 

I'm obsessed with this hat/sunnies combo. I can't stop. I feel like this would the the perfect place for me to insert a #sorrynotsorry if that was appropriate. It's just how I feel guys. I'm sorry if you are getting tired of seeing it, but really...#sorrynotsorry. Be prepared to see it way too much this summer.

This outfit is the epitome of everything I'm loving lately. Every single one of these pieces is on heavy rotation and will continue to be throughout the coming months. You've probably already figured this out considering the shoes and hat/sunnies (as mentioned above) have been featured a least 10 times andddd it's not even June.

Can we just talk about this dress though?! THE CUTEST DRESS EVER. Not even joking. When I received it, I was a little unsure about the print. It's pretty bright and bold, but the second I put it on, I fell in love. It's the perfect little shift dress and such a fun piece for summer. I'm not going to lie, I definitely had this on for about an hour after I received it, prancing around the house and looking in every mirror...yeah, it's one of THOSE. I'm loving all of Fashion Union's items, but especially their fun printed dresses. I already have a wish list, including this, this, this and this because if you love something why not buy it in every color...right?!
