Live Clothing Unboxing on Periscope!
Since my recent obsession with periscope I have been scoping everything! I mean it's just so fun! I love unboxing new arrivals on periscope, I think the unboxings might be some of my favorites! Today I had a shipment with two new items, a romper and a dress, the romper by far won the favorite vote from the scope crew!
I must say I do LOVE this romper! It is summer perfection! There is a fun mix of pastel and light neon colors. It's flowy and breezy with lined shorts and a semi sheer top. See More Here.
I took approximate measurements of this romper. Measured laying flat from the center of the neck (where the tag typically is) to the bottom : Small 33", Medium 34", Large 35"
My tips for styling this romper:
- Pair it with fun white sandals for a simple clean look.
- Dress it up with some bright turquoise, royal blue, or mint heels!
- Add a white blazer to make it a bit more profesional
- The top of this romper is not lined. You could pick an accent color from the romper patern and wear a cammi under for a fun pop of color or just use white or tan!
- In the picture above I am not wearing a cammie just a neautral color bra and I have pinned the front so there are no oops moments!
- Adding a snap button to the front of open top rompers (or dresses) is a wonderful and even more convenient idea then always using a safety pin!
- Accentuate your waist by adding a fun belt!

Styling a Denim Dress
A few days ago on my new addiction Periscope I was unboxing some new clothing and everyone's least favorite item from the shipment was my absolute fav! I have been wanting a good denim dress for a while now and I took a chance by ordering it online but boy did it pay off. The dress I got is so super comfy and ladies IT.HAS.POCKETS. Enough said.
Gals I'm in love with it. I have to stop myself from wearing it every single day. I did a little pinning and found some awesome ways to style a denim dress! Here are a few of my favorites below.
Here are some of my styling suggestions!
- Belt it up! You can instantly dress up this look with a simple belt! Black, Brown, or maybe a neon color, it's really up to you and what you're going for.
- Dress it up with heals! You can easily take this from day to night by switching from flats to heals.
- Transition it to fall with some boots + a scarf! This is really one of those pieces you can wear year round. Add your favorite ankle boots and a light scarf to wear this dress into the fall.
- Wear it in Winter with leggings + a sweater. As you can see in the second pic a denim dress looks effortlessly cool paired with your favorite sweater, leggings, and boots! Side note: Socks out of boots is my favorite.
- Dress it up even more with accessories! We already pointed out how heals can dress up this look. If you add a striking clutch, maybe gold or sequined and a sparkling statement necklace or earrings you just took this to a whole other level!
Hope all you ladies enjoyed!

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth
A week ago I asked my Periscope friends to recommend a foundation they loved. One of the first responses was the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth. Perfect! Not only could I just swing by Target and grab a bottle but I had never tried it!
I'm not gonna lie I was a little nervous to try something with the word 'dewy' in the name. My foundation choices usually contain the words 'matte' or 'full coverage' not sure why but I always seem to lean toward those terms when it comes to my makeup. Let me just say before I tell you what I think about this foundation. ONE: This is just my opinion. You might try this foundation and love it, or think its garbage, or think it's nothing like I have described. And that is why I like to try things for myself! TWO: I am no makeup expert. I am just a girl who likes to wear makeup and try new things. Think of it as your best friends thoughts on a makeup.
Okay my honest opinion: I love this for a light summer foundation. It gives you a soft luminous finish, plus it has SPF 18. I love foundations that have sunscreen! I picked the lightest shade available since I am very fair, porcelain 110, and I think it was a pretty decent match. I don't recall wearing a foundation and still being able to see my freckles which I love for summer. I like my freckles and every once in a while I don't mind showing them off! for a light foundation I think it wore very well. I did always use a face primer and powder with it, however I was not applying powder throughout the day. I don't think I would make this my all the time foundation but it will definitely go in the rotation for day trips and light makeup days! And for only around $6 I'll take it.
The only downside I see is that if you have oily skin the dewy part could be a problem. For me I kind of liked the dewy finish but I could see how that could be a downside for someone with oily skin. The Fit Me Dewy only has a 3.1 rating on Makeup Alley, but I always like to read reviews and remember that it's just one persons opinion.
Here are some links to more reviews on this foundation so you can get a good variety of opinions!
This is the first time I've ever given my opinion of a makeup on the blog! Ekkkk! If you want to see me try more makeups, go on my adventures with me, get styling tips, and more be sure to download the Periscope app and follow me! @hellocolie
Hope y'all enjoyed! Let me know what your favorite foundation is in the comments below!
