Fergie's "Centerstage" Collection

This post was a long time coming! Fergie has been seen on several on Wet 'N Wild's giftsets, on their website and also on Rachael Ray's show as well. Now if you have yet to experience it, here is Fergie's "Centerstage" Collection."

I had the opportunity to purchase ALL of the lipsticks, along with a bronzer, primer, gel liner and  2 eyeshadow palettes.

Out of them all, there were only a select few that I would consider having a huge payoff, but even then it reminded me of the signature Wet 'N Wild Megalasts.

The packaging for the "Centerstage" collection is pristene compared the signature WNW collection.

On the left of the picture are the nudes from the signature WNW collection, while on the right are the nudes from Fergie's "Centerstage" collection. They are very similar, with a shade or two difference from the signature.

All in all, I will say that WNW did perform well with the packaging on the lipsticks, but as far as the rest, I'm not very impressed. The gel liner dries out very quickly and the primer is too runny. The bronzer and eyeshadows are quality as well. I would like for them to come out with different colors and textures of the product if they do plan to continue to collaborate with a celebrity.

OOTD AND FOTD: "MAXI-MIZING My Dress for My 9-5!"

Pretty much everyone knows that I have recently had a baby and am now going in the transition of losing weight. I am now in that horrible stage of "too big/too little". I'm too little for my bigger clothes and I'm too big for my smaller clothes. So, I am pretty much at a loss when it comes for dressing for work.

Then I happen to remember coming across a fellow blogger's OOTD where she remixed her maxi dress to make it appropriate for work! I put my spin on one of my MANY maxi dresses that I've accumulated over this past summer.

 

My outfit stems from items I've purchased and decided to put together at the last minute. It's just happenstance that they are actually ALL leopard print. My jacket is actually a men's blazer from H&M that was on Clearance for $10! The faux leather lining had me at HELLO when I first laid eyes upon it. My scarf is also from H&M. My belt came with a shirt I purchased from Wal-Mart.

 My shoes: Platform stiletto heels from Charlotte Russe. These are one of MANY pairs of leopard print shoes that I've purchased throughout my shoe journey.

Here's the end result! put together so that I can work in style and not become concerned about showing my "plumber's crack" at work LOL!




Another shot of my outfit!

As far as my face? My sister wanted me to do a Face of the Day because I'm in love with Wet 'N Wild Cosmetics. I used Intuitive Blend in Medium and also Wet 'N Wild CoverAll in Medium as well. I used the the Color Icon Palette in "Petal Pusher", the Blush in Pearlescent Pink and Mega Last Lip Color in "Cherry Bomb".


 I'm very pleased with my look today and I'm sure that I can rock this from 9-5 and beyond!

Sunday's OOTD

This weekend has been the most beautiful and pleasant ones that we've had in a while. As the cold weather closes in, days like this are far and few between. This is definitely "walk with your family through a park" type weather, and we have several around us. Won't be long until I am blogging about boots, scarves and peacoats! But today deserves one last hoorah in short sleeves and mini dresses!

I've had this dress for years, and I thought that it would be a good color to compliment my accessories. I don't remember it being this short. LOL! That's what a baby will do to you, but hey, I still love it!

Blooper shot! :)

Of course my accessories are chunky, yet simple. Nothing too extravagant today.  I used Wet 'N Wild once again for my makeup! The color I have on today is  Mega Last Lip Color in 914C Mocha-licious and I used Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection in Comfort Zone.

I love this outfit!

It's surprising how a little sun makes you adjust your attitude! Or maybe it's just that this weekend has been fun and relaxing!

My shoes? Jeffrey Campbell. I would say that they are vintage, but I have no clue. All I know is that I love these shoes! They are comfortable, but are a little on the heavy side. Can't tote a baby in these beauties!

As Fall comes to an end, I can only imagine what Winter fashion will bring! I'm excited to see and participate as well.

"A Beautiful Fall Baby Shower"

Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL fall day! Not too cold, not too warm. Just perfect. It also was my sister in love's baby shower, and she's expecting TWINS! Being a mother to two 9 year olds, a 6 year old and a 2 month old, I can only imagine how she feels right now! I know I'm super excited!

The decorations were absolutely adorable! Everything was done with very intricate detail. The event planner (Majestic Events) made the clubhouse look very inviting and gorgeous! Perfect for the two little ones who will be arriving very soon!

 

The cake and "double" the decorations!

There was a candy bar as well!
 

The gorgeous mother to be-TWICE!

A day like this wouldn't be complete without looking my best! I went through several outfits before I came to find one that I thought would look presentable for this wonderful occasion LOL!



For my face, I used several products from Wet 'N Wild (which is TOTALLY awesome!) This cosmetic line has come a LONG way from when I was younger and experimenting with different lipstick shades. I absolutely love the staying power of the Mega Last Lip Color! I am wearing 917B in Cinammon Spice. Perfect lip color for Fall and especially November! The primer I used is called Wet 'N Wild Intuitive Blend Shade-Adjusting Foundation + Primer in 177 Medium. This awesome primer and foundation in one starts out white and adjusts to match your shade and skin tone. I used it under my actual foundation. For my eyes, I used Wet 'N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection in Comfort Zone. I used the lighter side for a daytime look.

My outfit is one that I have been wanting to wear for the longest time! My dress along with my necklace is from H&M.

 I live for chunky jewelry, and this particular necklace caught my eye. I love it and it coordinates with my dress perfectly!

I purchased my shoes a few years ago online. I absolutely adored the color and I had to have them. They are made by Liliana.

 

Today was definitely a day to step out in your best threads, especially with it being beautiful and basking in the perfect weather! Being that it's November in the Midwest, I'm not sure how many more days of beautiful weather we are going to have, so I better dress as cute as possible before the snow hits!
