You guys, we've finally gone through the footage and put together this super short video. It was super hard to film while in Lebanon and then I barely filmed anything at all while in France, so we had to work with what we had. Although the video is short, I do hope you come away with the amazing vibes I felt while there.
Stay tuned for the next video by subscribing to my channel and if you like what you see make sure to give it a thumbs up.
Let's head on down to Greenwich Village. One of my favorite neighborhoods filled with gorgeous stoops, quaint coffee shops, and lots of boutiques. I haven't been everywhere but that's what I love about New York City - there's always something new to discover. I've always had my eye on Olio e Piú, nestled between Greenwich Avenue (not street) and Christopher Street, so it was only a matter of time before dining there.
I've passed by Olio e Piú many a times, the energy has always been vibrant and the outdoor seating is prime for people watching. The fall menu for this Neapolitan bistro has been created by Head Chef Dominick Pepe, filled with fresh fall ingredients. The night the boyfriend and I went for dinner it was a bit chilly so we sat inside but near a window. The decor throughout was rustic - dimly lit lamps with a verdant exterior decorated with vines and dotted with a variety of plants and flowers. In the back of the restaurant there's a large wood burning stove. Wood burning stoves equal amazing pizza crust and an amazing smokey flavor. Sidenote: I'm starting to get a few hunger pangs just thinking about this meal.
We started off the night with the antipasto misto dish accompanied with fresh bread. However I tried to go easy on the bread knowing that we had a full course meal ahead us. You know, choosing my carbs wisely. The antipasto misto was followed by the burrata cheese - definitely our favorite app from the two.
For dinner I had the Gnocchi al Gorgonzolaand (cheesy perfection) and the boyfriend had Corneto di Bufala (a pizza), which for him was a heavenly mixture of pizza crust cheese and Italian meats. I must mention that I ate from his plate as well and he had to fight me back with his fork. And yes, a food coma soon followed but not before I tried one of their cocktails (the Go-To drink made with cucumber vodka mmm) and gelato (obviously one of each flavor).
We ended the night on a high note after dinner - everything was great from the atmosphere, food, and service. In the interim I heard great things about brunch so a return trip is necessary. If you're in the mood for scrumptious Italian food but can't afford a plane ticket to Italy, I highly recommend you book a table here for dinner (or brunch).

So yes, this is my signature fall look.
If you're looking for the New Maybelline Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara - look for this sign! But before you head there make sure you make a list of the products I used so you can also recreate my fall look (they should all be in that aisle too).
And here's the loot I came home with! Now you're not going to use everything here but just wanted to share, you know, beauty junkie to beauty junkie.
Alright, now let's get started! I've already completed my base including blush and highlighter but left everything in my eye's vicinity bare. That means no mascara, eyeshadow, or eyebrow pencil. Pretty scary right? I don't want to scare you guys any further so let's get started!
Step 1: FYI, all these shades can be found in Maybelline's Blush Palette. SO GOOD and SO AFFORDABLE. Shade your lid with the lightest color. This will give you a base to build off of. If you notice I went pretty light and made sure it was even throughout the lid. For this color I blend out and up towards my brow bone.
Step 2: Blend the next color into your crease (shown in photo below). I also blended a little bit of the dark brown shade at the end of my eyelash line.
Step 3: Take the shimmery gold color and sweep it over your entire lid but stay underneath the crease. From there I blend out and soften up the brown in the crease. Blending is your friend here.
Step 4: Line your lids. I used the Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black and gave a tiny swoop up at the end of my lash line.
Step 6: Apply Maybelline Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara. This is the world's first ever push up brush with cup-shaped bristles that scoop, coat, and lift lashes. So with that said let every bristle glide smoothly onto your lashes dramatic lift of 45 degrees. Use two coats for more intensity.
Step 7: Once your lashes are charged up and volumized, apply a berry hue (I'm wearing Maybelline's Color Sensational in Blissful Berry), shake out your hair and head out to conquer the world.
You can't even tell that I took less than 10 minutes creating this look right?
When in a time crunch I can never leave without having my brows filled in or mascara. What about you?
