Fall Fashion Favorites


I love the Fall/Autumn season. It is by far, my favorite time of the year. Aside from the all of the delicious Pumpkin spiced everything, the weather starts to get a little chillier, the air crispier and in case you need one, it's the perfect cuddle weather.

Everything about Fall makes me happy. But, the fashion is my favorite ♥ Below are just some of my favorite styles. I love big purses, fluffy scarves and LEGGINGS! 

Take a look and comment below which are your favorites. Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!!






















What's your signature Fall Fashion trend? Comment below and let me know!

Until next time, love you babes!

Infinite Aloe Review



** this is NOT a sponsored post. I have been seeing a few of those lately and I felt the need to get that out of the way. **




         Hi, My name is Tawnie. I am a skincare addict. 
         I can't deny that about myself. I think it all started because I have such horrible skin. Oily, big pores, acne prone, black heads... all that good stuff. So, when a product comes around promising certain results, instead of being skeptical, my oily little heart skips a beat thinking my salvation has appeared. Suffice to say that is hardly ever the case. 

         I usually don't like to talk about products I haven't tried myself for at least 2 weeks. Not even to friends of family. I don't want to be responsible for someone trying something and it breaking them out and then blowing up in my face. So I usually wait the 2 weeks. I feel like after 14 days your body will start letting you know how it's liking whatever product you are trying; be it skin care, make up, or medicine. Your body will let you know if it likes it or needs it. 

        Of course, on the other hand, if your body does not like it, it usually let's you know there and then. Mine does at least. It cusses me out instantly and punishes me with red itchy skin that feels like i rubbed it with a thorny wipe and then breaks out with the ugliest pimples and blemishes known to man. 

        With all that said, let's get into this review. I e-mailed Infinite Aloe about 3 or 4 weeks ago, after watching my friend Krista's Review Video . Krista is one of the most straight forward, dare I say, cut throat people I know. She will ALWAYS be (sometimes brutally) honest with anything she is talking about or anything you ask her (which is one of the million reasons I love her).  So after watching her video, I contacted Infinite Aloe Skin Care myself. I asked for a sample because as previously stated, I am a skincare fanatic and HAD to try this miracle product she was raving about. I like to e-mail companies for samples before purchasing them because firstly, Skincare can get quite expensive, so I like to know what I am buying before shelling out 40-100 bucks on product that may or may not work. Secondly, who doesn't love free stuff? And I figure; worst case scenario, if I don't like the product, I usually get a cute little bottle out of it! 

         When I received their package (mind you completely FREE) I was expecting the little foil pouches skin care companies tend to send out. Never was I expecting such a considerable and generous amount. 
This is the "sample" package they sent me

      
         I stated before that I do not like to discuss products until the 14 day mark. Infinite Aloe is the exception this rule. I have been using this product for 4 days now. I am in LOVE. Literally, EVERYTHING about this product is amazing. It smells so fresh and light. The consistency is thin but not watery and your skin drinks it up like the last Coca-Cola in the desert. I received three different products. you can read my personal review on each product below.

InfiniteAloe Advanced Formula Original Scent Skin Care

       From what I gathered, I received the same product in three different forms. This is the Original Scent Skin Care. I love this product because it takes care of so many different skin conditions, in general. But on me, INSTANTLY after I washed my face and toned with my witch hazel I waited a minute to let the toner set in and put just a dab of this on my face. I start in the center of my face and work my way out as that is where the majority of the product will lay and those are my more trouble areas. Immediately, my face drank in this cream like it was elixir from the holy grail. It fills in my pores, smooths out my face and honestly feels thinner than a primer but works almost the same. On the website it said that it is proven to work better the more you use it and I can honestly say I stand by that statement. I used it again that night after washing my face. I put a little more on this time than I did that morning because your skin has more time to process and drink in the product from your skin. I woke up with baby smooth skin. I kid you not. My skin was the softest it had been in a VERY long time. This is by no way saying that all my skin issues were gone, my pimples were still there, but my skin was clearing up and felt magical. This is with one day of use. Two applications.
     I'm on day four. I am still obsessed and a little sad I am almost out. I will definitely be purchasing the big container asap!

This is from their actual website:

 InfiniteAloe Advanced Formula Special Edition Skin Care for Men
This product is not specifically for men, it says Special Edition but seeing as how I found it under the "For Men" section of their site, I let my Co-Worker try it out. While he doesn't want to admit how he loves the smell, His face is clearing up and as stated previously, I will keep you guys posted with any updates or opinions I get from him ☺

My Favorite Fall Lipsticks



Hi babes, I feel like sure, "technically" Fall/Autumn has been upon for a little bit now. But let's be real (at least my fellow Californians) We are barely starting to get into the Fall feel. Honestly, if it wasn't for Starbucks bringing back the PSL, I would never have even know.

Now that our eternal summer has taken it's hiatus for the year, enter SWEATER WEATHER !!! Some people love, 4th of July, others Christmas... i don't have a specific holiday per say, but when I wake up and have to curl back into the safety and comfiness on my blankets and cuddle my puppies extra tight to steal their body heat, THAT IS WHEN I KNOW!!! It is officially Tawnie time! lol

This is the time of year that I shine, I rock the hell outta some skinny jeans and leggings, the hoodies and beanies, all of it! My sweats come out of hiding and prep themselves for the following weeks of curling up and binge watching all kinds of Rom-Coms and Murder-mysteries.

But, let me stop myself now, because I could go on an infinite tangent about why I love Fall so much. So, back to why we are all here, If there is one simple way to change your look without doing ANYTHING else to your face, it's Lipstick. Personally, I tend to wear whatever color I want when the mood strikes, but I would be lying if I said that during this holy time (for me haha) of the year, I didn't lean more towards the cranberries, dark burgundy and brick colors. With so many new companies coming out and everyone jumping on the liquid lipstick train (my new holy grail) there was more than enough to choose from, So I narrowed it down to my top ten. This is a combination filled with higher end brands to drugstore (I don't discriminate lol). Let me know what your thoughts are in the comments below! Love you guys!

#TawniesTopThreeTuesday #TTTT

Hi babes!

So I decided to start #TawniesTopThreeTuesday where I would share my, well, Top 10 favorite things of the week, be it food, clothes, people, websites, anything like that. Let me know how you guys feel about it in the comments!

So here we go! Hope you enjoy the list!

1. Coke Freestyle Machines

OMG, how have we lived without these machines? I used to feel so fancy going to the movies where they had these, like "Oh, snap! we're at a nice theater!" lol or as my Mom would say "ay, que fancy!" aside from the machine giving us infinite possibilities to any of our thirst cravings, the site is actually pretty cool. They have giveaways, Apps, events and a whole bunch of other stuff. So if you are craving a custom-made drink exactly to your liking, use the location finder to find the closest one to you! 



2. Alessia Cara

A few weeks ago I came across a new song while randomly listening to my Spotify radio. I'm sure by now, we have all heard it because it blew up all over the radio shortly after. The song is called 'Here' and it is AMAZING! lol I am already a huge fan of the lounge/scratchy, "sad-girl" (if you will) vibe along the lines of Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Rey, Alessia definitely delivered with this song! I got curious and went to her profile on Spotify and found her album. I FREAKING LOVE IT! I was so surprised to find such a variation of music styles on the album that somehow all flow together perfectly. So check her out because I am so in love lol and to top it off she is GORGEOUS! which just makes it that much easier to love her! 
The song on repeat at the moment for me is"Seventeen" , Check out the album and let me know what you guys think!



3. Gold Soul 

Whilst scrolling through my Instagram feed (follow me here) I got a suggestion to follow this brand and I am so so so happy I did! They are a boutique that strives in bringing cute and trendy clothing and accessories at an affordable price. While some of the stuff is a little over priced (IMO) they have some REALLY cute stuff! I especially love their Jewelry and sunglasses, I will post some pictures below but definitely go check them out on Instagram or Facebook. Here are a few of my favorite accessories  from them♥ 

Retro Oh Kaye Sunnies

GOLD SOUL

Gatsby Sunnies

Macroon Coin Purse

Getting Photoshopped

Hi babes,

So a few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me how I felt if she photo shopped one of my pictures, I told her as long as it was cute I wouldn't mind. I got the results today and I think it's so cool.

I know that this is a sore subject for a lot of people. But, I think Photoshop is fun and nice and takes a lot of the pressure off some (most) of our insecurities. I found some articles on the subject so I will post them below. Comment and let me know if you can see the differences <3

Until later, xo

This is the photoshopped one, I love the no  double chin!! haha
