Current Beauty Faves

On February 3, 2016February 2, 2016 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products1 Comment

Happy hump day, lovelies! I wanted to change things up a bit today and do something that I haven’t done in a while-share my current beauty faves! Typically I’m pretty loyal to my tried-and-true products, but over the last couple of months, I’ve stumbled on a few new things that I’ve added to my routine. So I wanted to take a minute and share both the old and the new with all of you. Details, and why I love these products can be found below!

Clockwise from top:

Moroccan Oil: I am obsessed with this stuff. I color my hair and have extensions and it does wonders for both. Since I started using this regularly about a year and a half ago, I have seen a huge change in my hair. Plus, if you live in a dry climate like I do, it will help with static and dryness during the harsh winter months!
Karen Walker Sunglasses c/o Ditto: I am obsessed with sunglasses, so I have absolutely fallen in love with a company called Ditto. They let you rent any designer sunglasses of your choice for just $24/month. There is no contract and you can change them out as often as you want (with free shipping!). Plus, if you use code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout, you can try one month for free!
Urban Decay Naked Smokey Eye Palette: I’ve been super loyal to the original Naked palette for years, but I finally bit the bullet and picked this smokey one up. And I am SO glad that I did! It has great colors in it that I don’t already have, and it’s helped me to be more bold when experimenting with date night looks. But it’s not just for dressing up either! There are amazing neutrals for daytime as well. It really is just a great all around palette and definitely worth every penny!
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Foundation: this is a new product for me. I have been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear Light pretty religiously for over a year. I love the matte finish, that it stays in place all day, and I never get oily. BUT, this winter has been so dry, it started to make my skin look dry and cakey. On the recommendation of another blogger (Mckenna Bleu-check out her blog here), I tried this one. And you know what? I LOVE it! It stays in place all day, I never get oily, and it doesn’t leave my skin looking dry like the Estee Lauder. And even better? It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything on my face. This is probably my favorite out of all of the new products I’ve tried! It’s also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates! I use this powder to set it.
Benefit High Beam Highlighter: I was having dinner with a good friend a few months ago and I couldn’t stop staring at her skin. It looked so radiant! And when I asked her what her secret was, Benefit High Beam was it. So obviously, I immediately purchased some for myself. And the verdict? I am obsessed with it! It’s super easy to apply, gives the most beautifuly radiant finish, and looks great blended using this.
Benefit Roller Lash Mascara: I am a tried and true fan of Bare Minerals Lash Domination. But I’ve found that mixing Lash Domination with this mascara gives me both incredible length and volume. Plus, if I finish it off with a little Younique 3D Mascara for special occasions, it looks like I’m wearing false eyelashes! So good!
Rodan + Fields Sunless Tanner: this stuff is the bomb.com. Not only is it super easy to apply (you can even put it on your face!), but it gives you a gorgeous, gradual tan that you can build as much as you want to. When I went to the Bahamas with friends a couple of weeks ago, the weather was too cold to get any sun. But I used this stuff for a little color and everyone talked about what a nice, natural tan I had when I came back! ha! Plus, it doesn’t get streaky or blotchy around the wrists, ankles, or knees when you apply it or when it wears off. This is hands down the best sunless tanner I’ve ever tried.
Butter London Lippy Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon: I am a gloss girl and most lipsticks can drive me nuts. But not these! The color is super vibrant, they wear really well, and are comfortable on the lips. Plus, the lid has a built in sharpener making it the perfect all in one! Ladybird (a fiery red/orange), Primrose Hill Picnic (the perfect bright pink), and Trout Pout (a great bright coral) are my go-to colors.

Let me know if you guys have any questions! Would love to hear if you use any of these products, or what your favorites are! I am always on the lookout to try new things!

Abby

Winter Florals

On February 1, 2016February 1, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Even though it’s the dead of winter, I can’t help but find myself already wishing for spring. So I’ve been slowly starting to incorporate some florals and brights back into my wardrobe. And this Free People top is a new favorite! I have it tied here to make it a little shorter in the front, but it’s a great tunic length and would look perfect (untied) with tights or leggings.

But I’m curious to know, do you guys feel about wearing florals in the winter?

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Can you believe that it’s Monday already again???????

My mom has always had great taste. And even as an adult, I always anxiously anticipate the fun gifts she will spoil me with on special occasions. And this yellow clutch, along with my necklace, are not only two of my very favorite Christmas gifts (courtesy of my sweet mom), but they are both staples that will remain relevant in my wardrobe for a long time to come. Plus, who says you can’t wear sequins and feathers after the holidays?

Happy weekend! Hope you all have something fun planned!!

Skirting the Issue

On January 27, 2016January 26, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you have been following my blog for a while, then you might remember that this past summer, I made a promise to push myself out of my comfort zone and wear more dresses. While it was difficult at first, I was so glad I did it and really felt like it pushed me to think outside of the box.

So, I have been trying the same thing this winter. But because of the colder weather, I have found it to be a little more challenging. That is why I have loved this skirt so much. Not only is it a beautiful, thick, flannel material, but it has a nice lining, and is the perfect length for the winter months. So it’s been an ideal piece for me to style when I’m making an effort to wear something other than just jeans or leggings (although it looks great with leggings too! ha!)!

Hope you are all having a great week! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, shift coats are awesome. And this gorgeous black and white number is at the top of my list of all-time favorite things in my closet. Not only is it under $40, but the quality is fantastic and the fabric and print is so pretty, people literally stop me on the street to ask me where they can buy it. So if you’re looking for something beautiful and special to add to your wardrobe (that won’t break the bank!), do yourself a favor and pick this piece. Also, how fabulous will it look styled with a dress and strappy heels when the weather warms up? I can’t wait!

Perfect Pumps

I often times have to spend long hours on my feet for my job, so I am always on the hunt for stylish and comfortable shoes. But one thing I’ve struggled with is that fashionable and practical shoes are a very rare combination. So when I found about a new brand that boasts BOTH, I was thrilled to give them a try. And I have to tell you guys, not only are these shoes gorgeous and beautifully architectural, but they live up to their promise and are incredibly comfortable as well. So if you are in the market for a pair of shoes that will stop people in the street and keep you feet happy all day long, than be sure to check out the full collection at Zvelle (sold exclusively online). They offer free shipping and returns to the US and Canada too!

Pumps: Rayna Slingback in Blythe Blue by Zvelle c/o

When I posted this gray jacket on Instagram last week, I had a lot of you ask me if I would include it in a blog post. And because I love it just as much as you guys seem to, I couldn’t help but oblige. Not only has this jacket become a staple in my wardrobe this winter, but it is under $40 (say what?)! So if you are looking for a new piece of outerwear to add to your wardrobe this season that won’t break the bank, then look no further than this chic coat!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Can you BELIEVE it’s Monday again already? I sure wish the weekends would last at least a little longer, don’t you?

xoxo,

Abby
