Don’t hate me because I had to share my dream shoes with you. If you’re reading MBB, chances are you’re a makeup junkie too, and I doubt you’re walking around barefoot when you go to Sephora “just to look around.”
So, since I’m assuming that you’re a makeup lover who also wears shoes, I thought you might feel the need (yes, need) TO OWN SHOES WITH A MAKEUP PRINT ON THEM. 🙂
That’s what I told myself when I walked out of DSW with these makeup print Vans ($49.95) the other night. “I gotta get these so I’m not walking around barefoot at Sephora!”
Solid logic?
Probably not… But I couldn’t leave without them.
I’m dying over the print! There are lipsticks, an eyelash curler, A KABUKI BRUSH, liquid liner, mascara and…what is that? Is that a pot of Chanel cream shadow?? Or maybe MAC Fluidline from the side? There’s also a pan of blush, bottles of nail polish and, OMG, pearls! There are even pearls!!!
Seriously, this could be the greatest print that has ever graced a pair of Vans.
Oh, and it’s also available online in a sassy high top style and, yes girl, they’re hella cute.
I should probably start dropping Valentine’s Day hints for El Hub.
Anywho, the thing about Vans…they aren’t the lightest shoes. They’re canvas with a stiffer sole and low arches. I have several pairs, and if you need arch support like I do, it helps to slip an insert into those bad boys before you go cruising around town with your cat.
This particular pair runs big. I tried both the 7s and the 6 1/2s, and the 6 1/2s fit a little bit better, but I left with the 7s because I like the extra wiggle room for my loooong monkey toes.
If I wear them without socks, the heel slips out, but yeah, they fit fine with socks.
Just FYI again, but Vans are a heavier tennis shoe, so if you’re used to wearing lighter shoes like TOMS slip-ons or Keds, it’s going to feel like your feet are clomping down — Clomp! Clomp! Clomp! — at first. You’ll get used to them.
Oh, and not that you needed another excuse to go completely cray over these, but they should go with a lot of outfits.
Yeah, that might just be me trying to justify an impulse purchase… It’s true, though! They’re neutral, so they go with everything.
Get thee to DSW ASAP if you want to make your makeup shoe fantasies come true. I’m not gonna stop you. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
*sigh* I miss me some DSW.
These look straight outta Connor Claire website!! 😉
Yeah, they do! No wonder they speak to my soul. Happy Friday, Christine. What are you up to this weekend?
Vans should be paying you to wear their shoes. 😉
Just learned how to surf. Would love to do more of that! Have a great weekend! xo
Gasp! They make cosmetics print shoes? My birthday is coming up after all…..
Happy early birthday!
Vans make *such* cute slip-on sneakers… and they would fall right off my narrow (AAAA) feet 🙁
Very few brands make shoes I can wear! (Even with socks!)
Too awesome 😀
These are sooo coooool, but I couldn’t find them on the Italian Vans website. 🙁
Have a great weekend, Karen!
Those are really cute; I want them!
I normally just lurk here and, let’s face it, obsess over all of the makeup…but when I saw these, I thought Dang, girl, you have to have them!!!”
I was able to pick up a pair on my lunch hour, and I love, love, LOVE them!!! They’ll be PERFECT for heading through airport security, and the pretty makeup pattern will keep me smiling no matter HOW long security lines are!
They’re missing the caption “Just add cats” to be 100% purrfect for you. HAHA! And I’d never hate you. But, if I did, it would be for your ridiculously clean and light carpet. I’m totally envious. 🙂
Gurlll, before I even finished this post, I went to the DSW site and bought them! Picked them up in store today. Thanks for the tip about the sizing. Yes, they are a little big. Not that I needed another pair of shoes but that darling print…
Hi Pamela, have a question… So, if I’m normally a 7 1/2 size, should I buy a 7? Thanks! 🙂
Yes, I think so.
Hi Karen! I am in love with these shoes too and a friend has graciously offered to snag them for me when she does some across boarder shopping this weekend 🙂 I’d like to know how you find the width on them? I am same Shoe size as you (6.5 typically) but told her to get me 7’s because I’m worried they’ll be too narrow (I have to wear extra wide Keds). Anyways, hoping for some insight.
Thanks for all your posts BTW! They’re always so fun and informative 😀
