Mambo Number 5: Stitch Fix

#1
My only reservation on this was I thought the tie was slightly unflattering on me. But can easily be bubbled under, or hopefully all this time at the gym will pay off and I'll like it more.

#2

This one is so cute. Amazing COLOR! I don't have anything this color in my wardrobe and I was surprised how good it looked on me. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was thinking it was going to be too short on me, but it turned out to be a really good length. The chevron pattern was trendy, but not too over the top.

#3
This dress was my favorite out of the fix. The top of the dress was a little big on me, but that's nothing I can't manage. I loved the length. Since I'm petite so many dresses that are "short" are actually closer to tea length on me. I really liked the floral print. I can see pairing this with leggings and a a cardigan in the fall too.

#4

Simple cream cardigan. Love it, it will be perfect for fall in Texas and very light weight.

#5

This is a cute little nautical stripped dress. It is very much my typical style. I liked the way the skirt wrapped and was high/low. The color works well in my wardrobe.

My stylist did an awesome job! The price is getting back down to where I would like it to be. This fix was right on course for my typical style with a bit of flair mixed in.

$180.0 for the box including my stylist fee, and my buy all discount.

Make Up Routine



I joined Lifetime Fitness late last month and I have loved every minute of it. One if the best parts about it for me are the 2 hours of free child care per day. I go in, workout for an hour or so and then shower and get dressed and ready for the day all by myself. It's awesome! 

I still have a simple make up routine. While it may be child free, I'm still on a time schedule. 

About a year ago I discovered this fabulous product. Loreal Miracle Blur It helps my foundation go on so much smoother and last longer than foundation alone. 
I'm not married to any beauty products. I change it up as the wind blows. Sometimes I head into Ulta and say "what's new" and go from there. My latest find is this Stilla All Day Foundation and Concealer. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4520037
It's awesome because in the cap is concealer and comes with a foundation brush. 
After foundation I brush on a translucent powder to keep everything in place and, if need, be I brush on a little blush, but often times my cheeks are so rosy they don't need it. 

So the last product I have to tell you about is my favorite. I've been using it for a bit over 2 years. It instantly brightens my eyes and adds a little shimmer. Sometimes I wear it alone and other tines I'll use it as an eye shadow primer. I really like that it's in a tube with a sponge applicator - less mess, faster application. 

After those major things it's eyeliner(occasionally), mascara and lipgloss. 

What's your make up routine?
