Night out at Verdigris

1. Bodysuit tank
Black bodysuit tank from Windsor
2. Lips by BiteBeauty
Lip Crayon by BiteBeauty – color Red Velvet from Sephora

My outfit goal = The three C’s: Cute, casual, and classy.

Perfect outfit for a night out at Leawood’s Park Place’s Upscale Bar – Veridgris.

If you’re in the Kansas City area, I highly recommend checking this bar out! Its the perfect place to catch up with friends over DELICIOUS cocktails. I’ve been here a couple of times since it opened, and every single drink I’ve had have been excellent!

I recommend the Polynesian Punch and Rosemary Baby for a lighter drink fruity drink.

If you like Mojitos, go for the Ecotnoal!

For a “stronger” drink, or if you’re a fan of Old Fashioned or Manhattans, definitely go for the Green Lion, its like the perfect combo of the 2 in 1 drink!

Also ambience here is so great – you’ll def get all the feels! 😉

Tattooed brows?!

Hi Ladies!

Let’s talk BROWs.

I’m a big brows girl. Brows have such an amazing transformational power, with its ability to enhance, boost, and polish your overall look!

I was never blessed with full, dark, even, and beautiful brows, and so I had to use makeup to help enhance my brows. After years of considering eyebrow microblading and tattoo; I finally went for it, but, if you know me, with much research, of course! After meticulously researching for my perfect artist, who would meet my needs (because they’re going to be permanent!!! Or semi-permanent at least) I finally decided to go with Ashley Dinh as my artist.

Before
After

It’s been almost a year since I’ve gotten my brows microshaded by Ashley. She was very professional with me from start to finish. After consulting with me and listening to my needs, she had me lay down and carefully measured and marked my brows. She then had me sit up to view my mark ups in an upright position, and also had me self-check, giving her the go before proceeding.

She then outlined my brows, applied numbing cream, and proceeded to microshade my brows. I actually fell asleep during the process, and then woke up to beautiful brows! I was really nervous about the pain initially, but it really was minimal to none!

Almost a year later, I am still so in love with my brows!!! It’s definitely made my life easier, as I no longer have to worry about my brows when getting ready. My brows are literally always perfect! Even without any makeup on, I look put-together. I know it may not be for everyone, but if you’re considering semi-permanent or permanent makeup; I hope that this blog post was helpful. Feel free to reach out with any questions; I’d be happy to share more on my experience and my opinions.

Also, please do thorough research prior to booking an appointment. As this is permanent/semi-permanent, it’s important to research your artist, and know what you want. Ashley performs her services in the Kansas City and Wichita area, if you’re interested, here is her website https://www.beautybyashleydinh.com/ and her IG handle @beautybyashleydinh.

Eyelash Extensions?!

Hi ladies!! Ever thought about getting lash extensions?! I initially started getting lash extensions last April as I was getting ready for my trip to Vietnam. Knowing Vietnam’s hot and humid weather, I didn’t want to have to deal with runny mascara (you girls all know what I’m talking about! lol) 

Ever since then though, I’ve been consistently getting my lashes filled, (except for now due to the pandemic situation.)

5 reason why I love about getting my lashes done:

  1. Super convenient and time-saving (not having to deal with falsies or mascara)
  2. I never really had to wear makeup, yet always looked like I had makeup on
  3. When getting ready for a night out, I didn’t have to hassle with gluing on falsies
  4. They enhance your eyes, making them appear more eye-opening and brighter
  5. Makes winking more fun haha

My favorite lash artist in town is Anh aka Be at Cosmebeautyofficial located in Lenexa, KS. Not only is she super sweet, but she also demonstrates excellent hygiene and sanitation (which is important to me as a client). She’s an artist that surely knows what she’s doing, as demonstrated by her motivation to keep up with the latest trends through continuing education. She individualizes your look, and creates a look that suits and enhances your eye-shape. I’ve been with her for over a year now, and have left a completely satisfied and lashified client each time! She is passionate about her work, and quite the perfectionist, not allowing you to leave until not only you, but herself is happy with the work she’s done. I highly recommend checking her out!
