Dressed up Stylish Sweatshirts

sparkleshinylove

 

The second I get home from an event, party, or even just from a day at work I get out of my heels and outfit and get straight into track pants and a sweatshirt. My selection of comfy clothing far exceeds the number of presentable outfits I own. I am all about wearing comfy slouchy clothes whenever I can.

This is why I love the sweatshirt trend! Finally I can wear a sweatshirt out to dinner or with a skirt and it actually looks like I am put together and not a slob!

Whether the sweatshirt just has a great pattern, or has embellishment or leather details like the Wilfred Free sweatshirt I am wearing in the photo above (sorry it’s sold out!), sweatshirts are looking less like lounge wear and more like a fashion statement. Finally something we can wear that not only looks good, but is super comfortable.

H&M has a great selection right now of what I will call “fancy” sweatshirts, like this pink one I picked up last week with embroidery detail for $24.95. It is so comfortable!

Here are a few of my other favourites that are shoppable online right now!

My Review of the Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen

Smashbox-limitless-liquid-liner-pen

 

It seems like every time I run out of a makeup product, I’ve been trying out something new lately. I used a liquid liner for years, but lately I have been using Benefit’s They’re Real! Push Up Liner for the past few months. I’ve really liked it, but I thought I would go back to a liquid liner for a bit.

I’ve been using Smashbox’s Limitless Liquid Liner Pen for a few weeks, and I think it’s a keeper!

When I was checking out different liners at the store I was shopping at I marked my hand with a few of the pens, and this one actually lasted after washing my hand which was impressive!

This pen is perfect for a very thin line, but if you tilt it you can easily create a thicker one for whatever look you are going for. This stuff doesn’t budge either! If you make a mistake it doesn’t easily smudge off, and to remove it at the end of the night I had to use makeup remover. One late night I was just too tired to remove it, and it was literally perfect the next day. The rest of me looked pretty rough, but my eyeliner was pretty!

The pen is super easy to use and is very precise. The tip isn’t very flexible which is helpful when you are trying to draw an accurate line.

The one thing that is really annoying about it is the cap situation. It doesn’t snap or twist on easily – it’s got to be pushed hard while you twist. It always takes me more than one try to put on the cap, which is a little frustrating.

Pen liners like this tend to dry out quickly, so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen to me anytime soon. As long as I get at least three months out if it I will be happy.

It’s definitely the best liquid liner I have ever used. It’s totally worth trying!

It retails for $25 CDN, and I think it’s totally worth it.

You can purchase the Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen at Sephora, Shoppers Drug Mart, and at www.smashbox.com.
