Pixiwoo Beauties in the City

Hi Gorgeous!

Well, If you haven't guessed from the title, I had the honor and truly pure luck of meeting the Pixiwoo Sisters today!  I'll be honest, working in the city and in my building I often get the benefit of rubbing shoulders with some amazing people.  But today put me completely over the edge!! I have NEVER EVER expected to meet people I actually idolize, that totally captured my attention, and profoundly inspired me.  I guess fate had a different plan and literally put the amazingly gorgeous Pixiwoo sisters right in front of me.

I'll start by saying that work and life have been so busy.  As I've mentioned in the past, I am planning my wedding (only 5 months away!!), working for the SVP of my corporation, and still trying to fit 'me' time into my daily routine.  SO, I had not been on my usual social media outlets (twitter/snapchat/youtube/IG) like I typically am.  I literally had no idea that @Nixiepixi1 and @pixiwoos were traveling to, let alone, IN the Big Apple.

You can imagine my surprise when I stepped out of my building for a lunch walk, to see Sam and Nikki standing there.  I could barely get my thoughts together, when I pulled my poor coworker to the corner and tried to create words in the English language to describe what was going on.  I finally got enough out to say, "Oh my God, its the Pixiwoo sisters- I can't believe they are right there! D, do you think it's ok to ask them to take a picture? I shouldn't bother them right? OMG I can't believe its them! Look at Nikki's Valentino shoes! Should I ask them for a picture?"  Without hesitation, my friend, and co-worker, looked at me and said, "You must absolutely ask them for a picture- give me your phone" - thank you for this, D ♡

Before I knew it, I was approaching Nikki and Sam to ask if they'd mind taking a minute for a photo with me!!!!!! (cue my nerves, pure fan-girl excitement,and the slowing down of time around me).  I must say that I love them, even more than I had, after meeting them.  They had no hesitation taking a photo-immediately pulling their sunglasses up and standing next to me with their beautiful outfits, well styled hair, and OF COURSE, angelically glamorous faces (these ladies can truly 'beat face').

They took the time to compliment me (Nikki said my perfume smelt absolutely beautiful) and to even ask my Name and tell me it was 'Nice to meet you'- I MEAN COME ON!!!!!!! Is this even real life!
I think it took 30minutes for the adrenaline to settle and I can only hope that this feeling of bliss, excitement, and ride on cloud 9 lasts me the rest of the week.

I only hope that you all get the chance to cross paths with Sam and Nikki and truly hope they know the impact they have on so many makeup loving, guru aspiring, individuals like myself.  A truly magical moment in my life- so thank you Sam and Nikki for a memory to last me a lifetime <3



Cheers to the beautiful (inside and out) Pixiwoo Sisters and to you!

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte- HumpDay Happiness

Hi Gorgeous!

During a recent trip to CVS I spent, like normal, an obnoxious amount of time in the beauty aisles, and came across this new foundation form L'Oreal that has been the talk of the town.  The L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation is a demi-matte foundation with claims to last 24hrs.

Ladies ... the day has finally come where a drug store brand makes an INCREDIBLE foundation!
I have been IN LOVE with this foundation, its coverage, its application, and its wear.  Whenever I wear it I am in love with the way my skin looks and always shocked when I hit the 'little girls room' at how great it still looks throughout the day!

I would say the finish is satin matte which is complementary for people with oily/combination skin.  Unless using with a thick moisturizer and hydrating primer, I'm not sure I'd recommend for those with Dry skin.  I say this because I had a dry patch (after treating a dreaded pimple) and I noticed the foundation clung to it!

The coverage is medium-full and the color match is pretty point on (currently in shade 104 but may need to repurchase darker once summer is in full swing)

All in all, I give this foundation a 10.5!!! (thats out of 10, which means it's, like, REALLY good).  And at $12.99 (thats without a sale or coupons).... who could really complain!

So go on ladies, enjoy this sunny HumpDay
and get to your local drugstore!

Cheers to a beautiful you,
