Hashtag... No Filter!

      "No filter, just camo." That's the catch-phrase of the new E.l.f. Camo CC Cream. I received a full size tube to test out from Influenster, and y'all already know I ripped open that box and got right to testing it! A little background information you might care about... the Camo CC Cream is formulated with collagen, peptides, and niacinaminde. Collagen is a protein found in the body naturally that helps with suppleness (among other benefits); peptides are small chains of amino acids... which are also naturally occurring in the body and benefit many aspects of it, especially when it comes to the skin; and niacinamide, which is a form of vitamin B, is exceptional for acne.

     Moving on, this product also contains broad-spectrum SPF 30, and just incase you didn't know... you need sunscreen (even when it's cloudy). There are currently 20 shades in the range and it is full coverage with a natural finish. Lets move on into the photos and incite, shall we?





     Packaging? A+. It is user-friendly, sleek, and I love the pump... it makes it so much more sanitary! As for the color, I selected and received shade Fair 120N (with neutral [N] beige undertones). I think this is a great color for me. It appears quite yellow in the camera swatch; however, it is a true neutral because I see both yellow and pink undertones depending on where I am standing in natural light. It blends out like a dream and feels velvety soft without any tackiness. It definitely has a natural finish. It does not appear matte or dewy, but it isn't a satin either. I'm actually very impressed with this. You can check out the Camo CC Cream on Elf Cosmetics website, where they provide swatch photos and I must say... it is very inclusive toward deeper skin tones... so hats off to you, E.l.f.! You can, of course, also find E.l.f. Cosmetics at Ulta and your local drug store!

     Have you tried this product yet? If so, what was your opinion of it? Pros/cons? Let me know in the comments!

We're All Mad Here

     Happy New Year! Well, nothing has changed besides the calendar date. Coronavirus is still lingering and things in the United States have people asking for a refund on their 7-day free trial. It's a mess. Now, politics aside... if you happened to read the title of my post, you may know it to be from Alice in Wonderland (a quote from the Cheshire Cat to be exact). Who else is apart of Alice in Wonderland? The Mad Hatter! That's what we are here for today, yall... my hats!

     There happens to be a hat craze among us. I see them everywhere and unfortunately, some of the most flattering "fashion blogger" hats are nearly $100, if not more. I don't know about you, but I would be up out of my mind to pay that for a hat. I am sure they are of great quality, and clearly the designs are gorgeous... but let's be real, I'm not a well-to-do fashion blogger and I don't have $100 to drop on a single hat. 

     Welcome to the budget-friendly hat hoedown showdown! Where did I find these beauties? Target! All made by Universal Thread, and I am obsessed! I love this particular style of hat, and I cannot wait to see what color-way they launch next. I'm hoping for a soft tan. Universal Thread, can you hear me? A soft light beige-tan! 





Olive Green/Brown: Women's Wide Brim Felt Fedora (my particular color way is no longer available)

Blue: Women's Wide Brim Felt Fedora

Rust: Women's Guitar Strap Band Wide Brim Fedora


     If y'all have one or buy one, please let me know how you love it... and how you style it!
