Hello lovely people! I have some super exciting news that I want to share: I have recently been selected to be a campus representative for Donni Charm! If you guys didn't know, Donni Charm is a contemporary scarf company with an inspiring story behind it.

It was started by Alyssa Wasko (who attended the U of A, where I am now!) after her father, Donny, tragically passed away. To cope with the pain, she started making scarves for her and her friends to wear. People started asking about the scarves and she started making more. And that's how Donni Charm came to be! Now, Donni Charm scarves are sold in high-end retailers such as Bloomingdale's, Free People, Nordstrom, and more. Also, celebrities such as Beyonce, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna can been seen wearing Donni Charm. How cool is that?!

I have an awesome gift for you all! If you use my code, anguyen30, you will receive 30% off your entire purchase, even on sale items!!! These scarves would make amazing gifts for the holidays!! You can get matching scarves with you/your loved ones and obviously treat yourself with one! :) They even sell scarves for men and pets.

Hello and happy December! ^_^ With the holiday season upon us and the colder weather, I've been busting out my dramatic lip colors (although I believe you can wear red or burgundy anytime of the year!). I have a little collection that I've accumulated over time and I adore all of these shades!!

NYX - Monte Carlo

This is a beautiful, bright red shade. It's from NYX's matte lip cream line, which I'm obsessed with. I like to apply it on twice to get the full color and it's the perfect shade of red! The texture is also creamy but leaves your lips looking matte. It's affordable and I can't tell you guys how much I love this stuff! I think it would compliment any skin color.

Clinique - Matte Crimson

This is definitely comparable to NYX's Monte Carlo. It also has a matte texture and the red is absolutely divine. The lipstick is really smooth and the color is a nice crimson red that would flatter any skin tone. It's a little more pricey but the lip color definitely lasts longer than NYX's! I also really love Clinique's lipsticks because they're extremely long-lasting. If you're looking for a perfect shade of red that will last the whole day, this lipstick is definitely something you should try!

Clinique - Angel Red

We're getting into the darker shades now! This lipstick is actually not as dark as it looks. It's a deeper red than Matte Crimson and I think this would flatter those with warm skin tones since the red is more on the brown/warm side. It's also not as pigmented; if you want the full lip color you have to layer it on a couple of times. If you're scared to try a dark lip, I would recommend this lipstick! The color is not as pigmented so you get a more sheer, dark color.

MAC - Diva

If I had to pick a favorite out of my collection, it would be this one! MAC never fails me when it comes to lipstick. This color is SO beautiful on. It's the perfect matte, burgundy lip color. I've worn this in a couple of my videos and whenever I wear it out, I get tons of compliments! This is my go-to lip product for the fall/winter season. IN LOVE!

NYX - COPENHAGEN

So I just got this in the summer because I knew it would sell out again this season! But I absolutely love this color!! Again, this is from NYX's matte lip cream line and I'm telling you, I love this stuff. The color is a beautiful deep plum and it's my second favorite lip product in this collection after MAC's Diva. I layer it on twice to get the full color and it's freaking gorgeous! I've been really digging the dark plums this season.

Milani - Black Cherry

First off, don't be fooled by the color of the lipstick! It's not as dark as it looks and even in pictures, it's not that dark. I think it's really similar to NYX's Copenhagen, as it is a dark plum. I'm not a huge fan of it though! The color doesn't go well on my lips and it looks uneven whenever I put it on. Sometimes it looks nice, sometimes it doesn't depending on my lips that day. If your lips are dry, this will definitely highlight them!! So this definitely isn't my favorite, but it's not that bad either.

Thank you so much for reading! I would love to know if you use any of these products or if you tried them! And if you have any recommendations for me, let me know! Hope you all have a wonderful day, see you in my next post <3

Last week I filmed a super easy hair tutorial! This is how I've been curling my hair lately and I get a ton of compliments! It's also great if you're running late but still want to have a good hair day (me, always!). Hope you like the video, let me know what you think!

Hello lovely people! My new Fall Lookbook is out now! The outfit links/information are in the description box of the video. Hope you all enjoy it and are inspired! Also, I apologize for the long wait! Thank you for being patient and supportive! Love you all :)

I hope you are all having a good week so far! It's been a bit rough for me because there is a lot going on -- school wise and social wise! I have been also working hard on my latest video, which is a Fall Lookbook. Now I'm giving you all a little sneak peak!

Romper: Collette Boutique

Tights: H&M

Booties: Forever 21

Hat: Local boutique

This gorgeous long sleeve romper is definitely a staple for fall. It is the perfect boho piece. Best of all, it's insanely comfortable!! I love rompers because they are so versatile and you can dress them up or down! For this outfit, I paired the romper with simple black tights and little booties. For accessories, I layered two simple silver necklaces and I threw on my black hat. This is a more casual look. For a more formal or dressed up look, I would throw on a beautiful statement necklace and high-heeled booties. I just love the lace detailing on the sleeves, they add a nice chic touch.

Fall is such a great season to dress up! I will definitely be posting more about my favorite fall fashion looks and items. Also look forward to my new video, it will be coming out VERY soon! Thanks for reading, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week! If you are having a rough week like me, remember to smile and do the best you can! I believe in you!!!
