My 1st Delco Beautorial: Ooh La La!

Bonjour! Sorry it's been  a while since I last posted!

I was feeling very French inspired today! It could have just been because my sweater says "ooh la la" on it, or the fact that I've been randomly craving french macarons for the past 24 hours.. Who knows!

On my way home from work I made a quick detour to Crêperie Béchamel in Wayne to pick up some macarons! Randomly getting French macarons on a Thursday... Who do I think I am Blair Waldorf? In my defense, it's almost the weekend and I've made it this far in the week without oversleeping for work a single day, so like the saying goes "Treat yoself!"

It just so happens I recently purchased three of the NYX macaron lippies and I've been dying to try them out. This season is all about rocking unusual and bold lip colors so I wanted to try 3 out of the ordinary shades! I bought the colors Rose (Barbie pink), Earl Grey (light blue), and Pistachio (pastel green). So to go along with my French themed Thursday, I decided to test out the lipsticks as I snacked on pink macarons. I love them all, they're so pigmented and such fun cool shades! 

I feel like you have to keep your eye makeup very understated with these bold lip colors. The colors are so bright and highly pigmented so let them steal the show and be the main focus of this look. They're perfect colors for if you're feeling a bit daring this Easter and want a high bright pastel lip color to amp up your easter dress!

To do the simple eye look I used the Lorac Gold Unzipped palette. I put the shade "Uninhibited" all over my lid, highlighted under my brow and the inner corners of my eye with "Unlocked," and put "Unleashed" in the crease.

Then I used my new mascara obsession: Too Faced "Better Than Sex" mascara! This makes my lashes super long and full and it stays all day without fall out or smudges! I'm totes in love! Then I lined my water line with a black eyeliner.

Then here came the fun part... The macaron lippies!!!:

First is the shade Rose:
The matching pink macaron def gave this look a certain Je ne sais quois, don't ya think?;) 

Next is Earl Grey:
Why not get into the outlandish sweeet lip look and throw on a cute donut headband to go with it?!

Last one is Pistachio:
This green was very psychedelic!!! (JK I'm just so ready for summer so I can rock these sick new sunnies) It would be perfect for Saint Patrick's Day or just when you wanna look funky! 

There you have it, I hope you enjoyed my very first Delco Beautorial! It will be the first of many!

Whether you're in Paris, London, New York or just strolling around good ole Delco, don't ever be afraid to take risks and just have fun with your makeup! If you like it, wear it!:)

Thanks for reading! XOXO

Chef Delco: Fancy Truffle Pasta

Tonight I surprised my family with a new dish I created on the spur! I just had to share with you all because it was slammin'! I saw this bottle of truffle oil in our pantry and thought ooh fancy! It sounded different and I never cooked with it before, so I decided to be inventive with it!  Estimated total cook time was 30-40 mins.  I created the magical pasta dish as follows: I cooked 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh mushrooms, 2 shallots chopped long ways and thin, and 1 large clove of fresh garlic in a little less than 1/3 cup of truffle oil in a pan. I cooked the penne as I let the mushrooms and shallots mixture simmer over low heat on the stove to cook through in the truffle oil. After the pasta was cooked I drained it and returned it to the pot with about a table spoon of the starchy water still remaining in the pot. Then I mixed in the mushroom and shallot mixture into the pasta, along with a cup of grated parmesan cheese, and an extra drizzle of the truffle oil.  The f...

Cute, Comfy, and Casual Spring OOTD

The weather for it being APRIL has been cray cray lately! It's cold one day, raining the next, and recently it's been turning for the better and getting a little warmer. It's tough to decide on what to wear to dress accordingly to the weather since it's so unpredictable throughout the day.  I decided to do a OOTD (outfit of the day) for welcoming this transforming spring weather. I decided to do a little California vibe to the look by adding my new Dimepiece "Ain't No Wifey" beanie I just bought! I've been wanting it forever and FINALLY just bought it when it went on sale, so I was super hype about it! :) Boyfriend jeans are perfect for a casual laid back cute spring look! I paired my AE boyfriend jeans with a basic gray vneck from Target I got for like $5. I decided to keep the accessories simple with a thin gold bracelet, and a double stranded chain spike necklace to add some cool edge to the look. To complete this look, I was excited to break out th...
