Sad News

I hope that you are having fabulous day so far but there is soem no so good new that I wanna share.

Ana will no longer be apart of creatively chic girls...and neither will I.

Why you may ask?

Its not anything between us but just that the blog isn't working out the way it was expected too.

:(

Buttttttt, if you enjoy the blog and still want to follow, I will be relaunching my blog: lifeslittlebitsofhappiness.blogspot.com on Monday.


If you have any comments to share with Ana or myself then you can comment below or reach us on my social media!

Love you all and thank you for all of your support through our journey (: <3

{OOTD} Rainy Day Outfit

Hey Hey There!

Today I just wanted to share a OOTD, its a simple outfit that i wore during one of the rainy days we had here in Florida.

So all I have here is my top from Forever 21 paired with cuffed jeans, my black and white converse and my 'Perfect Tote' by Anne Klien (and of course my umbrella by Nautica).

It was a comfortable outfit because it was humid, so I wouldn't get that sticky feeling by wearing a lot of layers!

What's it like where you are? Are you still preparing for rainy days? If so share with me what you wear below!

Until next time

Review|||Revlon Balm Stain

Hey guys so today I want to do a review on Revlon Balm Stains!

 Mine is from the Just Bitten Collection and is in the color: Smitten.

If there is one thing that I can say about this thing is WOW! I absolutely loveeeeee it!

 

Now onto the things everyone watns to know!

LOOK: When picking out one of these, I made sure to get a berry...as much as I wanted Audacious,(a gorgeous bright orange with pink undertone) I knew I had to stick with a color that would complement my skin tone or else it would've been disaster and waste of money. I am girl of color so therefore going with darker pinks, berry's, and reds are best and will complement my skin tone better. Smittenn is a very beautiful berry color and I'm happy to have made the right choice, I will have a picture that show you what it looks like below. (and let me tell ya..they didn't put balm STAIN on this package for nothing; these baby's stain. But I don't mind because a matte light pink is left behind or I cant put on my EOSe balm and some of the shine is rekindled)

TEXTURE: Just like a balm. (: Putting on this color was just like putting on an EOS balm. Very smooth and easy to apply. But I do recommend wearing a clear lip calm under to give your lips extra moisture.

PRICE: For the quality and the amount I get/have to use, I am very satisfied and would gladly repurchase this product again! They were only $8.79 and right now my CVS has a buy on get one 50% off so I will be returning soon haha

SMELL: These do smell like menthol. I personally don't care but I know that this does bother some people so, beware mint haters!

SHINE: Alrighty, so these do have a slight luster, not anything to flashy like a lip-gloss but its there. There are 3 different types of tubes when you go to buy these: a totally matte tube, one with a metallic bottom like mine, or one totally engulfed in metallic wrapping. I see that mine has a slight shine so I'm sure the one totally wrapped in metallic is super shiny!

 This was about 40 minutes after application.

 

About 4 hours or so after. Here is what I mean by the matte light pink color that's leftover

I hope this helped you all decide if you want to get these and or if you just wanted some more info.

 Now I know that Ana has done a review on a couple of these balms before but lip products vary depending on who they are put on. (You can read hers here). Ana has a more fair complexion and I have a more darker complexion therefore now you guys can see how they look on both of us and maybe it will help you decide on the right color for you!

If you guys have any lip products you love, tell me below I would love to try them out...I love a bold lip (;

Until next time,

Whats been happening + Looks For Less

Good Afternoon beauties! Kadasia here.

I hope you are as well rested as I am haha, Spring Break has started for me and I feel great!

But what I really wanted to talk about these past couple weeks and where I have been.

As you know, I'm in school. Now I love blogging very much and its so fun to share things through these posts with you all! But sometimes I get wrapped up in schoolwork and I can not have the joy of doing so but I do plan to have lots of time this week to chat and blog!

So, with that I would like to apologize for my absence! It was nothing personal I've just been super busy between essays and quizzes and tests and trying to sleep when I can. But I am back(:

Now onto the fun stuff!

From reading previous post, you guys have seen my little hints of, Looks For Less, I'm very excited to jump into this topic and help you guys look fashionable and still have some money left over!

So the first item that I purchased for this series is the watch from Target. Its made by Merona; a rose gold/bronzy watch with three "decorative clocks" in the middle ( they do not actually tell time but its made to mock a chromatographic watch). I reallllllly love this watch, I wear it almost every day! Its really easy to match it with an outfit and sometimes I just throw it on to add a little color.

 

              

 

I wanted to mock these Michael Kors watches

Updates

Hello lovess!

I just wanted to post a quick update on whats been going on with Creatively Chic & my life!

Lately, I have been super busy, and that's why I've been so absent this past week. As a junior in high school I'm constantly stressing over schoolwork, & applying for summer jobs, & even summer programs in colleges; however, I'm also a college freshman.... & I've been studing all week long for my midterms! On top of all of this, I am also moving houses... Which on it's own is a stressful expirience enough!

Soo I just wanted to let you guys know whats been going on with me, I know I speak for Kadasia as well when I say we are super busy lately.... & it's been getting in the way of our blog!

Until Next Time!

Xoxo,

REVIEW: Aussie Three Minute Miracle

Hello lovess!

Today I really wanted to share one of my new favorite products with you guys.

As of recently, I have been using the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, as my everday conditioner.

I have been using this product every other day for about a month now, and let me just say that I lovveee it! I wanted to wait a while to post this, just because i wanted to witness the complete results; howver, it has been an entire month, and i have noticed many improvements in the condition of my hair!

Firstly, my hair feels a lot stronger currently, than it has in a long time. Altough, this is influenced by the fact that I have been using minimal heat recently, I believe that Three Minute Miracle has helped plent. Another great improvement? Well, my hair feels a ton softer lately; and while most moisturizing cconditioners tend to weigh down the hair (mine especially) this one does quit the opposite. My hair actually looks as if it has way more body and volume to it, even through the second or even third day after washing it!

All in all, I am really enjoying this great product, and for only costing $5.99 at Walmart, its a steal! For now, it will remain my holy grail conditioner.

Do you have any products you love? If so let me know in the comments.

Until next Time!

Anne Klein: The Perfect Tote

Hey guys!

Today I would like to tell you about my tote bag! It's called: The Perfect Tote and the name couldn't be more spot on. As you all know I've been on the hunt for a new tote bag (if you didn't know you can read all about it here (; ) and I've finally found it. 

This bag has three main compartments which are two open spaces with a zipper closed section in the middle. It also has a small zipper closed pocket on the inside, two more pockets for things like ur keys or phone, and on the back of the outside of the bag there is a pouch to put more goodies in haha. 

So to the part that most anticipate about is the pricing. Well I'm actually quite shocked and happy about this(: this bag was $40. Now before you say "*gasp* whoa!" I'll tell you how much it retails for, which is $80 so I got this bag for 50% off. But wait where was all of this amazing shopping done ? At MARSHALLS !(: 

I actually had so much fun shopping at Marshall's, they had everything! I also got two beautiful diaries/journals. I'll write about them later (;  

But I'm so happy that I was able to find the bag, since it was the next thing I was searching for. 

Have you guys found anything new lately for a great price? If so let me know! 

Have a great night !

¡Spotted!: Spring Polishes

Hello lovess!

Today I wanted to talk to you about one of the best parts of the spring season: cute nail polishes! Cute polishes can do so much for a cute outfit, or can even make your day alittle brighter. Painting my nails fun colors is honestly one of the best part of  a new season for me, andIi just thought you guys would want to hear some colors that not only have been noticining recently, but that I love as well!

 

 

Yellow nail polish is a must have for sspring! It can brighten up any outfit soo easily, and look goregeous for easter.

 

 White nail polish is such a statement color. I can make anything out since it has such a bold contrast against all skin colors.

Purple is a personal favorite... I really love it at the beggining of spring since it such a ptretty pastely color.

orange is a great color for all seasns in my opiniion! Its one of those polishes that looks great duing spring and summer, but even looks cute during fall as well.

 Mint green. Mint green is just gorgeous, it is one of those colors that is soo simple yet looks so nice and makes a great statement.

 This is one of my favorite polishes for the upcomming season! I goes so well wih most spring colors, and its just so bright that it makes anyone's nails look amazing.

Cobalt is also a great statement polish. Just like coloral it has this amazingly regal look, that will have everyone asking i you just came from the nail salon. Although, it can work for winter, I find it be a great choice for the spring and summer mnths as well.

All in all, these are some of the cuteres polishes I have been noticing lately! I hope I was able to inspire some of you as to some new colos to buy this season!

What are your favorite polishes for spring? Let me know in the comments below!

Until Next Time!

XOXO,

Mani Update

Alright so, I have a post where I showed you my Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail strips in "Empress-Me." You can find it here to see what they looked like when I first put then on.

Now, when I did these, I did not put on a full topcoat because I wanted to see the real results of them. BUT, I did put a topcoat on the tips of my nails just to seal in the sticker/strip. So with this info let's get into what they look like now (Sunday night rather lol)!

Okay so these were left on my nails for a full week-Sunday to Sunday. No topcoat or touch ups.

left hand

right hand

I have to say that for amount of time I left these on and for the amount of activity my hands get, these are worth the 'investment'. I'm a very busy girl and I'm always doing something, therefore I would need a topcoat on at least every other day to keep my mani (which I don't do....because I'm busy (; ). Even though they chipped, it wasn't until about 4 days in. But these were so fun and if I have a little extra money, I will buy them just for fun. 

What nail products are you into?

Tell me below, I LOVE to check out new things related to nail polish!

Have a great afternoon guys (:

Water Refreshers

Hello lovess!

Today I wanted to share a latest favorite with u guys: water refreshers! Sound like the drinks from Starbucks right!??

Well truth is you can make a fresher without ever leaving your house!

Just gather some water & place a few pieces if fruit in it! The longer you leave your drink in the freezer, the stronger the taste!

This is a great idea now that spring and summer are right around the corner!

Until Next Time!

Xoxo,

¡Spotted!: Floral Print

Hello lovess!

Today I wanted to rave about my latest obsession: floral print clothing!! You see, lately I have started my shopping for spring and summer.... And most of the things I've purchases are floral print (go figure!)! 

The reason I love this print so much is because it can be dressed up or down... And could even suit every personal style! 

Personally, I love to ear my floral print with high waisted shorts, light wash jeans, or even a solid colored maxi skirt! When paired with the above bottoms florals can add a tad or fir lines to a laid back look! 

All in all, florals are something I have been noticing a lot for this upcomming season, & can be found in almost all stores! They can effortlessly make an outfit cuter, & can brighten up anyone's day!

What are some of your must haves this upcomming season? Let me know in the comments below!

Until Next Time!

Twist on nail polish + watch out for Looks For Less!

Hey gals (& guys if your reading as well(; ) Happy Presidents Day!

So I wanted to tell you guys about Sally Hansen's Salon Effects. Yes, I know I'm a bit late on doing a review due to these coming out probably almost a year ago. But to be completely honest they were just too expensive until now; when I found them in the back of one of the lower clearance racks at Walgreens (mouthful lol). So I just had to get a box being that they were only $2. 

Like...um...what? 

Yes I said it, two dollars!! So naturally I started to look even deeper for more and I found the perfect set! These are in "Empress-Me". Well can I say they impressed me(; I absolutely loveeeeee these little things!

The process was fairly simple and easy as well. I will most definitely be picking up the last few on clearance at my Walgreens! 

What do you guys think?

What are your nail inspirations lately?

Let me know below !!!

 

 

 

Also I will be doing a new and ongoing series called "Looks For Less" where I will be blogging about dupes. steal the style, and "look at what I found types" of things. I've been having fun with planning it so far. So be on the lookout for it!

 

Also don't forget to follow us on Instagram where you can see what we're up too!

Spread the Love<33

Hello loves! 

Soo today I just wanted to share something with all of you! 

As we all know Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and as the day drags, all  most of us can do is wait to see what that special someone got for us! However, Valentine's Day is a day to spread love, not just to one special person in our lives, but to all of the special people in our lives!

Therefore I have a challenge for you guys! Throughout the course of tomorrow try to do a kind thing for someone! This someone could your mom or your dad... Or even a total stranger! The point is to just spread some love onto the world, and let kindness and good wishes shine from within one another!

Soo I just es want to ask you all to keep this in mind tomorrow & everyday! Just one tiny good deed can make another brighten someone else's day!

Until Next Time!

Xoxo,

Busy? Try this!

Hello there and happy HUMP DAY! *camel walks by* 

So today I just wanted to briefly talk about something I've been having a problem with. Ready? Dunnnn Duh Dunnn.....  

                     STUDYING

Yeah no...

Sometimes I like studying and sometimes I don't. Especially after a long hard day  and my mind is just racing and/or tired. 

So tonight I had to read a chapter in my United States History book in order to prepare for an essay tomorrow....(cough cough I think I'm getting sick maybe lol) and I really did not want to read it! But I told myself I was going to (step one) because I need to pass. I needed some quietness or relaxation (step two) so I went to my phone and played my classical music. 

It might sound weird at first but just try it! Listening to classical music is actually a great way to get into the zone and get into a deeper state of focusing (at least for me). So guess what?

    I finished reading it (: *happy dance*

I hope this helps some one who has a hard time studying and or focusing. 

The album I listen to is: 50 MostRelaxing  Classical Music Peices. It's awesome and relaxing haha. 

Well I hope this helps some of you who may struggle with studying or focusing. 

How do you guys deal with this problem? I would love to have some other options  

{{{Kadasia}}}

¡Spotted!: Maxi Skirts

Hello lovess!

Today I wanted to discuss The Maxi Skirt!

Soo I recently started my sprin & summer shopping & I saw maxi skirts, everywhere! I know they were around last summer but I feel like they're just going to be even more on point this year!

Below are a few that I personally loved when I went to the mall this weekend:

I guess it's safe to say: I absolutely adore maxi skirt, although I wouldn't necessarily accessorize like in these pictures! I find it so easy to throw on a crop top with a maxi skirt in the morning and have a completed look.... Or even transform the outfit from day to night!

All in all, I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on a cute trend for this spring and summer! Stay tuned this weekend, since I shall be posting a day to night transformation soon!

Until Next Time!

Xoxo,

Something New.

                    Hey there!

So remember how I told you guys I had been wanting a new watch? Well I found one! To me it's like a mix of rose gold and bronze but it's lovely and chic! Now all I have to do is get a few bracelets and start stacking!

Also while I was at Target they had a sale, buy one get one 50% off so I couldn't resist wandering to the jewelry section to get a statement necklace!!! 

I found this beauty and it was $16 (um whoa...but so gorgeous ): ) and it was my 50% off item so it was bought down to $8 and some change (score one for Kadasia on her first real bargain shopping experience!). I can't wait to add this necklace to an outfit!

The next thing I'm on the hunt for is a really nice versatile/casual bag. Not too big, but not too small and okay for either school or outings. Any suggestions? If so please do share (;

  Have you gotten anything new recently?     

  If so I would love to see that also!

   Till next time

¡Spotted!: Flarred Jeans

Hello lovess, Ana here!

Soo lately, I have noticed that Flarred jeans are finally making a comeback! I don't know about you guys, but personally I'm very excited about this!

Flarred jeans, like the ones above can add a touch of girlyness to any outfit... Or if your like me, you can always pair them with a zip-up jacket and flip flops for a more laid back look!

This pant style is also perfect for sporty girls, since they just accentuate curves and make your body look amazing!

Overall, flarred jeans are just some of the things I've been noticing a lot over the past couple of weeks. Even if they're not your style, who knows maybe you'll gain a new appreciation for this style?

Until Next Time!

Xoxo,

Over the Knuckle.

So im sure you guys have seen over the knuckle rings. I think they are adorable and give a twist to regule fashion ring (which don't get me wrong, will always be in style).

From boutiquedeamor

I'm thinking of  getting couple of these!
What do you think of these?

Watches, help me decide!

Hey there guys, its Kadasia and today I want your help on deciding watches!

I've been wanting a watch for a while now and now that I have a little cash, I want to finally buy one.

So I'm looking for something that's totally stack-able with arm candy (which I also want (; ), big, but not too flashy. So far I've been looking at things like so:

This watch is from a page on tumbler which I can't log into without and account and I dont have one. 

Picture is not mine.

I love!

I love these and so much more! You cant check out my Pinterest for more of these watches I'm thinking about getting.

I just really love the simplicity and chicness of these watches and they would tie an outfit together perfectly (:

Relaxing.

Hey guys, sorry for being so MIA this week!

Just SO MUCH has been going on in my life lately and I couldn't get to the computer to post!


So today I wanted to do a post about relaxing...since I haven't had much time to at all for myself (excluding the few minutes I get for eating and such) I know the perfect way I would want to relax and I want to share them with you !


First: stop thinking. Yes it can be hard but it's almost like sleeping haha just imagine your happy place or simply lie down and "chill." You deserve it.

Second: Get your favorite app, movie, book, hobby, sport and go crazy. But remember we are trying to relax so, athletes if you can sit down for a few moments and seriously relax (; Don't do anything that will frustrate you!

Third: Do whatever pleases you for about an hour to and hour and a half. This gives you a chance to re-cooperate and ready to tackle the rest of your day, night, or simply have a more peace part of the day.

Yes this is simple but it can help so so much! I hope this helps you guys out there who are stressed out and want to take a little break, but don't know how.

Till next time!

¡Spotted!: Colored Jeans

Hello loves, Ana here!

Soo today is finally the first day of my new series "Spotted" where I will be sharing new trends that I've been seeing with you guys!

For today's post I really wanted to focus on colored jeans, not only because they're starting I become really popular, but also because I've been really into them myself!

Soo I am in love with all of these pants! I think that they are so versatile for this time of year... And can be easily transitioned from season to season!

I have recently discovered how usefull pants like this can be! If I am ever in a rush to get ready, I simply pair any of the above pants with a simple t-shirt & a scarf (usually with a pair of comat boots!) and I'm good to go!

I personally own the cobalt pair... And although they are leggings, they are thick enough to wear on those cold winter days, and to conceal and skin that might aging through! 

Lastly, I do want to mention that the pants specifically pictured above, are on the pricier side; however, I thought it'd be a much better idea to invest in a good pair, that will last for seasons to come, rather than rip on the second wash! 

Soo overall.... This has been my favorite trend this season! I find that all of these items are soo versatile, they allow me to put an outfit together in minutes!

Leave you're favorite trends this season in the comments below, as I'd love to read them all!

Until Next Time!

Xoxo,
