Stitch Fix | July 2016

My July Stitch Fix box arrived on Saturday morning and of course I couldn't wait to open it!

I requested a few items so I was excited to see if they were able to find them.

#happymailday

If you are new to Stitch Fix, this is what most of them look like when you first open the box.

Return envelope, personalized card with outfit details, price list, and your clothes!

 Since I was short on time Saturday morning, I quickly looked at the card to see what I received.

Here is one of my many attempts at filming an unboxing video :/

Note to self: Don't try to film with a 4 year old present!
#leasonlearned

Now for the try on of things!

Level 99 Robbie Jogger Pant - Olive $88

Colorblock Alonso Embroidery Detail Top - White $54

When I saw these two items on the card above I had mixed thoughts.
I was super excited about trying on some jogger pants, but I am typically not a fan of fringe things.
Despite being wrinkled from shipping, I actually loved the top!
That fringe isn't very cowboy like at all :)
I loved the olive color of the pants and the fit was nice, but the bottom around the ankle/calf was wide :(
I was hoping for a more fitted feel.

KEPT THE FRINGE TOP
RETURNED THE JOGGER PANTS


 A Gold E Brynn High Rise Skinny Jean - White $128

Pixley Mirado Lasercut Detail Blouse - Cobalt $58

I love everything about this top - the color, the fit, the detail!
Unfortunately, the detail part at the top was damaged :(
The white jeans fit well, and were just the right amount of "skinny" I have been looking for.
However, the high rise is not for me.
I didn't like the feel or the look unless you wear them with a long top :(

RETURNED THE TOP
RETURNED THE WHITE JEANS

 Pixley Karissa Knit Tank Dress - Black $64

The last item in the box was this black tank dress.
Honestly, nothing special in my opinion.
The fit was fine, but I have similar dresses.
Plus, I was looking for something a bit fancier for date nights and such.

RETURNED IT

I really wanted to keep those jogger pants, but at the end of the day I couldn't figure out how or where I would wear them.
I am still on the hunt for some with a more fitted ankle/calf.
And the white jeans were great, but high rise just isn't my thing.
And you better believe I would have kept that cobalt top if it wasn't damaged!

Current Beauty Favorites | Vlog Style

Well, I thought it was going to be a video today, but little did I know my phone would tell me no.
So, for the moment it will be a regular post.
And yes, I know that I am hosting a link up today and my post is just now going live shortly after 9am.
#sorrynotsorry
#wellreallyiamsorry

Anyway, over the last month I have changed up how I apply my makeup and the a few of the products I am using on my hair.
I have loved them, so I decided I must share them with you all!

I am sure most of you have heard of or already use the Moroccanoil products.
I actually used to have the original oil a few years ago, but then decided to try out a cheaper version.

Now that I have well water and it appears to be drying my hair out and destroying my color,
I figured it would be a good time to invest in some good products.
My stylist uses these products on me almost every time I am in her chair and I love the results.

I have been using the Dry Shampoo for dark tones for months now!
I have been able to go 3 days easily without washing my hair!
It is amazing and smells so good!

I picked up more of the Moroccanoil treatment, but this time around I went with the light version.

It is for light colored or fine hair.

I have super fine hair, but a lot of it.

It keeps my hair silky smooth and tames all my fly aways :)

And the last product from Moroccanoil that I picked up was the Molding Cream.

This stuff is great for defining my curls without any crunch.

It gives great texture too!

Do you use Moroccanoil products?

What are you favorites?

Two more products I am loving right now are NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator in Sunbeam

and PUR Cosmetics Cameo Contour Dual-Ended Contour Stick
& Blender

I am always testing out different ways to apply my makeup or make the process easier.
I picked up the illuminator last month and it is perfect!
Cheap, but goes on smooth and stays on all day.
And while I don't use the contour stick that often, I do use the blender sponge that came with it every single day!
I apply my tinted moisturizer or foundation with it and it gives such a light, but flawless finish!
That contour stick is great too when I am getting ready for an evening out :)

So what are your current beauty faves?

Good Moments & New Hair

I feel like this week everything is in slow motion!

I did get to go and have my hair down on Tuesday evening, so that was fun!

You can see the new color and cut below :)

For me, Jauary was a month of crazy!

We had an employee retire and hired a new one.

I am ready for things to get back to normal!

I also found out my little brother and his wife are expecting a baby girl in June!

In February, I am looking forward to taking X to Disney On Ice, seeing Richard Marx in concert (again), and who knows what else!
