Style Fyle: my uniform

Style Fyle: my uniform


This is definitely an outfit I will partake in! The only things I do not have at the moment are: the tee, tan Chelsea boots & the transport bag. But it won't be long now. But I can totally see his as a "uniform" of sorts. I just bought a pair of black leather Chelsea boots. And I'll be getting/making the tee soon... And I put the bag on my Christmas/Birthday... So, isn't this such a cute outfit though?! 
Black high-waisted skinny jeans & hi-lo baggy tee which you can tuck the shirt in front, or let it hang loose. Once you have the basics down, Then you can add on your accessories. Boots are a standard for fall. Sometimes winter. Then pick the bag you want. Then which I just saw this idea was to polish your nails in black or dark grey (Butter London Union Jack black & chimney sweep are my faves) and then add matte top coat to the nail color! Then add your lip color! (Favorite colors: Tarte lipsurgence in exposed and MAC rebel lip color) 
Then, you can add a leather waterfall jacket or a cardigan. 
And I've been liking my hair right now and I just like it to hangloose. But if I'm on 3 day hair, I may opt for a messy bun instead! 

Let me know what your style uniform is! 
Have a great week! -Ryn

Beauty Find: $10.98 mascara


Just yesterday started a fabulous sale on mascara at one of my favorite beauty stores around, beauty brands!!! $10.98 for at least 8 different high end mascaras! I went in yesterday, but I couldn't make up my mind, and I had made up my mind one of two things would have happened. 1. I would stayed until they closed for the day or 2. Bought all of the mascaras that are participating in the sale... Neither one was going to work, so I went on my merry way... And then promptly looked at reviews online. 

I'm one who loves volume on my lashes. The more va-va-voom on my lashes, the better! (That and lipstick...) 
So I think I've made the decision of which one I'm getting...(yes, I'm only getting one this time...well, I think!) I think I'm either going with the:
Tarte gifted Amazonian clay smart mascara
DuWop lash venom
Per-fekt lash perfection gel

If you're not sure you have a store near you, or you want to participate in this amazing deals, go to: www.beautybrands.com and check it out!!!


Also, Butter London made it to Beauty brands, and I am such a happy girl, because I just adore butter london and I told one of the sales associates last year, that the only thing that I would LOVE about beauty brands even more would be if they started carrying Butter London! And they did! The entire collection, beauty & their nail line!!! Whoop whoop! 
P.s. Just. The other day, my sister Heather texted my that www.zulilly.com was have a sale of 3 Butter London's for $26! Pretty good deal I might add, since it would cost you $45 otherwise, if you had purchased it through a retailer. But anyways, so all the sets I was looking at & thinking about getting was surrounded around a metallic charcoal grey color called chimney sweep. Well, I ended up not getting the zulilly bunch....but, as I was going through my nail polishes for the preparation for last Fridays DIY painted bobby pins, I discovered that I already own chimney sweep! Yippee! It was like a mini Christmas for me! So happy! 


And one more thing, beauty brands also has a sale going for $9.98 hair sprays... I would check it out if I were you! 

And they also have Deborah Lippmann nailpolishes 50% off right now! Because they had to make room for Butter London! ; )

Fancy Find: Hillsong concert

Amazing. Amazing. Uhh-mazing concert! If you haven't been to a Hillsong united concert yet, you really should! Its probably one of the only concerts where you can sing and raise your hands, and not be considered idolizing something/someone. Totally freeing! 
 And It was totally worth the money! i did NOT regret it! It was beautiful, incredible, fantastic, lovely,.. And that's only some of the words I came up with to describe it! It was just what I needed. And must I say, I just love Aussies! At least these Aussies, they have such genuine personalities. It was an incredible night. Saying I had fun would be an understatement! I probably will never forget it. Well done, Hillsong united, well done! 

I'm now curious as to what their church services are like at the main hub in Australia... Guess I'll have to find out! ; )

Aaand, a good friend of mine will be attending the hillsong concert at the Redrocks in Colorado on Thursday, and if there was a way, I would totally go! Gorgeous scenery & awesome tunes, sounds like a great Thursday! 

Check for upcoming tour dates: www.hillsongunited.com

Here are a few pics from the concert:

P.s. This is the lip combo I was wearing at the concert & I just love it, it lasted the whole time! Even got a compliment out of it too! Not going to lie, I really like when that happens! 
NYX 'Amsterdam' (reddish/berry color) lip cream 
Tarte 'exposed' lipsurgence 
I will tell ya, they are both matte colors, so you have been warned! ; ) and I haven't tried gloss over them...



Love you, Ryn

Let me know if y'all have attended a hillsong concert before! Comment below!

Beauty Find: You can't go wrong with lipstick & mascara...

(Girl about town) 

Nothing is as fabulous than a woman wearing no more than lipstick, mascara & a lil powder on her face. It's a confident act to do that, and such a pretty one as well! Going au natural is a luxury in and of itself! One should do it regularly...

I'm a big fan of bright lipstick & mascara. It's so simplistic/elegant to me. Just the other day, I just wanted to wear red lipstick. I haven't worn red lipstick since Christmas time... But I REALLY wanted to! And for those of you who don't know me, I carry about 11 MAC lipsticks + others in my purse... (I've got a hook up of Mac supplies) and I carry them around with me, pretty much everywhere I go! It's been like this since high school... Crazy! And i get a little sad when i change out my purse to a smaller bag or im travling, i then only bring 4-5... Anywho, I think what spurred on the red lips, was that I had on a white V-neck (which I made & I absolutely love!) and something about a white v-neck and red lips, it's just well um, sexy.... And very chic! 

Now to the other part of this blog, I'm a HUGE fan of mascara! I will layer and layer and layer mascara on top of over each other to make them stand out. I'm a fan of my length of lashes, but my sister has such luscious lashes! They are incredibly long. I almost think she took all of the length and thickness from both my other sister and myself.

A few weeks ago, my favorite beauty store: Beauty Brands was having a fabulous event, which they always do! And they are ALWAYS so nice. And they take competitors coupons! Big plus right there, since there are days when I think Ulta doesn't even take their own coupons...

Anyway, the beauty event was about 15 or so different kinds of prestige(high end) mascaras for $10.98 ea!!!! A total steal! So I bought 2 different tubes of mascara, which were: hyperlash by smashbox & glominerals. I really like hyperlash, the glominerals one, ehhh it's ok, not my fave. But I'll still use it.
One thing to add, go to an event early, because if you waited like I did, well, lets just say, the selection is few... Which I would have liked to try some of the others... Next time! 

And then a few nights ago, I was at Kroger's grocery store, and I had just pinned this mascara, like two days before. And so I bought the maybelline cat eyes mascare, which I layer with Hyperlash... And it works great! And I think I paid only $5.89 for, and I think that was a good price for it. 

Side note: 
Funny story, years ago, I hated loose eyelashes! Grossed me out entirely! Where I made my family get the loose eyelashes off my face and made them get them off their own faces too. And the whole blowing it off your finger and making a wish thing, um no! Eww! That's just disturbing. Like I said, funny story! Hah!



My favorites right now:

Lips:
Impassioned by MAC
Russian red by MAC
Girl about town by MAC


Lashes:
Benefit They're real?
Smashbox Hyperlash 
Maybelline the colossal volume express in regard feline 


On my wish list to get:
Rebel lipstick by MAC ( I saw on a customer, with fair skin like me, last Fall at an event and I have wanted it ever since!)
Ruby woo by MAC (I've heard this is the best red lipstick ever! It works for any skin tone.)

Beauty find: Tarte creme eyeliner

My new best friend, ladies, is truly the BEST! I'm surprised we didn't find each other sooner! This pot of creaminess is utter perfection! One of the Best Christmas gifts eva! It even comes with a great brush too!

It's so easy to apply, you dip the brush into the creamy goodness, then use the lid to wipe off the excess of the eyeliner. Then apply to eyes... I haven't used it yet for winged eyeliner, but I have used it for the smudge look. I REALLY like that look too! It's worth the money for this item and the time to go out and buy it too!
It's pretty much a fool proof eyeliner! : ) and it stays ALL day! Which I don't know about you, but that's a big deal to me!

The color I'm using is bronze. You may be able to find these eyeliner pots on clearance right now from Christmas kits...

I was just a beautybrands and saw some kits from Christmas, for 35% off!!! Look and shop around for sure!
