How cool is this hydrating lipstick from Givenchy! It looks like a menacing black color, but when you put it on, the lipstick reacts to your own personal pH and creates an unique color just for you! Love that!

I notice on other people Givenchy Le Rouge Hydra Balm in color 10 gives off more of a dark pink or light purple tone. On me, I hardly notice a color. It’s a little on the dark pink side, but very light. This makes the lipstick great for casual, everyday wear when you want the no-makeup look. It’s also hydrating, so it’s a more put together look than non-color lip balm.

The case is really easy to use, especially if you try to open it one-handed. It’s magnetic so it opens and closes without effort. Love that! It’s also very pretty in my handbag. I mean, aesthetics are everything, am I right? haha

So, if you are looking for a light, hydrating lip balm that doubles as a light color lipstick, this is the one! Love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

high heel boots planter fasciitis

I finally got a pair of Ally ankle boots! If you have been following along, you know I suffer from Planter Fasciitis. Last year, I received a pair of Ally’s high heels and discovered that I too can wear heels without pain. It was groundbreaking! So, I have made a wish list a mile long of shoes from Ally and now I have added one pair from this list. Yes, I want more, but for now, let’s talk about these amazing ankle boots with arch support!

The ankle boots from Ally offer built-in arch support which feels like it was custom made for me. I can walk and stand for hours without pain in these boots. Love that!

The boot style is classic and with a pointed tote, so I know they will last for many years without needing to worry about them looking dated. This makes these boots an investment pair of shoes. You know I love a good investment piece!

Ally makes this ankle boot in two heel sizes, low and high. I got the high ones, but I have my eye on the low ones too, maybe I’ll get them in a different color. The high ones are perfect for the office, and I have also worn them with cropped jeans on the weekend; you know, to show them off.

Here are the shoes I currently own, or am wishing for, from Ally shoes:

If you are not sure about your size, check out the fit finder to find your perfect size. I wear a US 9 and for my Ally shoes I wear a 40.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you love Ally as much as I do!

Dior Ruban nail polish review

dior ruban nail polish review classic pink nail polish

How in the world have I not review Dior Ruban yet?!?! Will wonders never cease! Ah, anyway, here we go!

Pink nail polish is hotter than hot right now, despite the fact that it is also a timeless nail polish color. Pink nail polish is fabulous because it’s understated, classic, office-appropriate, and matches any outfit or occasion. Love that!

I feel like everyone should have one, fabulous pink nail polish in their wardrobe. Ruban might be it! This is a color which has become a part of Dior’s core nail polish collection. It seems to always be in stock and get restocked. As we all know, seasonal nail polish colors have been selling out within a day to a couple of weeks lately. So, it is refreshing when a beautiful color can actually be found in stock. Imagine that!

Dior Ruban nail polish is a classic pink nail color with slight sparkles. I love how the sparkles add dimension yet keep the polish looking timeless. I tested out Dior Ruban nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. It went on smooth without streaking and the finish is a solid, slightly sparkling pink. Love!

So, if you are looking for the perfect pink nail polish, Dior Ruban nail polish is your pink! Love it!

Thanks for stopping by!
