Modelling

Hi ladies!

So today I wanted to switch the focus away from my usual reviews to show you a little of what I do in my spare time. I'm a member of Nordstrom's BP Fashion Board and I occasionally model for their in-store fashion shows. Recently, we had a fashion show to advertise all of our new fall trends and looks. The top three trends for fall are as follows:

Sweet and Feminine:
Lace, floral prints, pastels, sheer material. This is more of a spring trend usually, but now you can make it work for fall!

Grunge and Edgy:
Leather, denim, chambray shirts, leggings, booties, denim on denim. This is one of the newest trends and I modelled this look. I chose denim on denim and paired it with denim flats, but I think short leather boots would have been perfect too!

And finally...
Homecoming Couture: sparkle, shine, sequins, lace, whatever you like! Nordstrom has tons of options for homecoming dresses this year! I modelled this trend and I wore a one shouldered white dress with a gold sequin skirt. Everyone loved this dress and I got many compliments on it. Another couple ones that I liked we're the fitted blue one shoulder dress and a teal lace number.

Check out the pics! (I also threw in a selfie that my sis took, but she wa rocking the edgy grunge trend!)

Benefit Cosmetics the POREfessional Review

Hi ladies!
I have been working on this review for over a week now, so I hope everyone enjoys it. This week I tested Benefit Cosmetics' the POREfessional pore reducing primer.
How I tested:
I applied the primer every day for one week, sometimes with foundation and sometimes without.
The verdict:
Lovely smell, slightly tinted, very light moisturizer. This product is slightly tinted, yet when I rubbed it in, I saw no evidence of colouring. The product smells lovely and is light enough to wear with your own foundation. I have combination oily skin and I don't usually moisturize very often. I was pleased to say that my skin felt very happy. This primer does work nicely with a foundation, and I felt that my foundation looked a lot smoother with the use of this product. As for pore reduction: I don't really have large pores, I have more of an issue with pesky blackheads! Overall, I'm not so sure this product made a difference in the size of my pores, but I liked it as a primer, for sure! I will probably purchase this product after I use up the sample.
Note: this product has a light tint and may look funky with darker skin tones.
