Showstoppers π₯π₯π₯
Leopard is one on my favorite prints! I feel like nowadays it can be paired as if it is it's own color scheme. I always pair the leopards print with neutrals, creams, brown and black. As the print alone is classy as well.
As most of the pieces are showstoppers there is an importance on making sure they pop! In order to havr that affect I recommend pairing with more muted or black tones so that all of the print pops π₯ and it's the center of your wardrobe!
For example a Little Black dress and then hot leopard booties is placing emphasis on the boots! Even doing an all black ensemble with a leopard scarf or leopard jacket makes a great classy statement as well!
Linked below I have several of my fav Showstoppersπ₯π₯π₯
Let me know below if you have any other tips to show off leopard print!

Ways to Give Back thisππSeason
- Donate your time at a local soup kitchen or food bank
- Toys for Tots which allows you to give toys to children. It's an annual drive with the Marine Corps Reserve. Majority of the sponsors are local toy stores.
- bit.ly/T4tots
- Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. (sampur.se/2CPaQ3U) I actually did this one as a teen. It's where you fill up a shoe box and put little trinkets. The boxes are sent overseas and help needy children! Even though it's just a small box it can make a difference.
- Salvation Army bell ringers. They are all over the malls and WalMarts this organization helps the homeless and even children one of the best charities!
- Angel Tree with Salvation Army
- Make cookies πͺ πͺfor your local postman, massage therapist, nail salon technician, hairstylist, children teacher and professor! People you deal with daily that also may have stressful lives!
- Pay for someone's coffee or food behind you! ☕️

πMakeup Mondayπ
Today I am reviewing the OMG face mask! And I must say I love it! There are several steps to doing it correctly and ensuring you get the best results.
First step is I took off all of my makeup with my Garnier micellar water and wipe. On the package it says you can use it with or without makeup.
The next step is the white detox bubble mask and I was at first intimidated by it as it bubbles and I have sensitive skin and was unsure if I would have a reaction. But I love it!
It's pretty cool how fast it bubbles up to!
The next step is to put the peel off mask on your face. I only used half of it and I'll probably save some of it for another time!
Beware it is bright bright pink and also it dried pretty fast and your face tightens lol.
I was not expecting it to be as fast which is great it says it can take 30 minutes to dry but it was faster!
Then remove the PEEL off mask!! I needed help with this and Michael got a thrill like he was riping off my face π π
And then use the serum pad to remove any residue and it smooths out your skin!
I Absolutely love it!
I bought the headband and several masks as they offered a signup discount!! To purchase your own mask this is the link for purchase. http://bit.ly/PinkOmg
Also make sure you don't put the mask on your eyebrows or where there is hair as that will hurt quite a bit! Don't make that mistake!
Let me know in the comments what you think!
Also linked below are some of my favorite beauty essentials and don't forget if you are looking for makeup brushes you can use my discount code BRIGHTLYSOO25 for 25% off from Mikasa Brushes.
Love & Peace,
