Makeup Lemmings

Hello fashionistas,

As usual I'm lemming after a few things... Well more than a few things. I have no money right now, I have been hauling like no tomorrow! Mommy and Daddy spoil me. Thank you guys, you both treat me like a princess. I love you both (I'm not sure if/when you'll read this).
 I  really cannot be buying anything for quite a bit, but it's nice to have things that you want (plus when you finally get around to buying them it will be even sweeter). 

I'm going to tell you my ever growing list of makeup desires. These are in no particular order. 





     MAC
  • Woodwinked
  • Mulch
  • All That Glitters
  • Evolution Revolution lipglass (from the MAC Bloggers' Obsessions collection)
  • Angel lipstick
ESSENCE 
  • I want to peruse the XXL lipglosses, then make my decision on the shades! I've seen swatches and they all look so pretty
  • I really like Essence's nail polishes (cheap and decent quality). Again, I like to peruse while I'm there!
E.L.F.

  • I am obsessed with ELF's studio line blushers. 
  • After seeing swatches from the lovely Steph's blog (check it out here) I want to try out their studio lines cream shadows.


I won't be buying any of this for quite sometime. Especially the MAC products, I like to buy from there, but it's just so darn expensive! I'll buy the lipglass soon... It is a limited edition after all! All of their LE collections are how they really get you to purchase, it's the fear that the latest 'it' product won't be around long.


What are you all lemming after? Makeup, clothes, cars?

The Bold and the Bronzed- Makeup of the Day

Hello fashionistas!
Believe it or not, when I started this blog I planned on it being a makeup blog, it quickly became a fashion blog.
I happened to take a bunch of pictures after I did my makeup Saturday night, so I thought why not do a face of the (other) day! Sorry the picture quality isn't great, I don't have a great camera. I actually just used my Iphone for these. I liked this look so much that I did it again today! 

Hope you like!



Face

  • ELF Contouring and Blush duo
  • Rimmel Matte Bronzer in Sunny
  • NYC creme blush in Plaza Pink
  • Essence blush in Almost Famous
  • Prestige bronzer
  • Benefits Boi-ing and Eyebright concealer
  • Physician's Formula translucent powder
Eyes
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion 
  • Stila's Kitten all over lid and inner corner
  • UD Half Baked in my outer corner in the middle of my lower lashline
  • UD Smog in my crease and outer corner of my lower lashline
  • I used NYX's yogurt creme pencil as a base on my lower lashline
  • Maybelline's Colossal mascara
  • Stila's Lash Visor mascara
  • NYC liquid liner
  • UD Naked to fill in my eyebrows








Just a silly picture. Hehehe(:


Today I took my big biology exam... It was pretty hard! I have 2/3 of my life back (I still have one more part to do). Sadly next week I have a biology test, so this weekend I'll be studying (weekend.... only 4 days away). Friday I have a geometry test that I have to do well on... I have a lot of studying to do for that! 

Enough of my ramblings!

I hope you guys have a great week, I'll post soon!

December Favorites



Hey fashionistas!
I decided that it was about time to do my December favorites, kind of sad this is my last favorites of 2010.

Anyways, on to my favorites. Not too many things this month, kind of stuck with the same stuff. When I was sick I didn't wear any makeup so, not a whole lot of variety.

L-R
Essence blush in 01 'Almost Famous' ♥
Wet n' Wild 'Vanity' palette ♥
Urban Decay 'Baked' pigment ♥
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil 'Yogurt' ♥
Maybelline Dream Mouse Concealer 'Ivory' ♥

The blush is a peachy pink with subtle shimmer, it's quite a nice flush of color for the cheeks.

Ever since I bought the Wet n' Wild Vanity palette in the beginning of December I've been using it nonstop! The pigmentation is amazing, and all the colors work really well together. My favorites are the 2 top ones on the left side and the bottom one of the right side.

The Urban Decay pigment is a nice bit of shimmer for the eyes. My only complaint is that it is kind of messy.

The NYX pencil is not only a great base but, I also love putting it in the inner corner of my eye for an eye brightener.

I didn't love the concealer at first, but now I really like it. It works quite well to cover blemishes and under eye circles.

Secret Scent Expressions deodorant 'Cocoa Butter Kiss' ♥
Triple Body Cream 'Japanese Cherry Blossom♥

I know what you're thinking "deodorant?" but, yes deodorant! I had started using Secret with Olay in it a couple of months ago but when I went to repurchase it it was gone! They stopped selling it, major bummer. It lasted all day, so I switched to just original scent and I didn't love it but the other day I was out and my mom picked this up and I love it! It lasts literally all day and smells really good! Seriously if you are in need of a new deodorant you should pick this up.

The triple body creams are perfect for the winter months when your skin tends to get dry. I picked this up mid-December and I've been using this one more than the other scents. Every time I put this on my mom goes "you smell really good. What are you wearing?" and it has been this every time!


Well that's all for my favorites for December.

Thanks for following and commenting!

Once I get to 200 followers I'm going to hold another giveaway.

Oh and this is a scheduled post, so when you read this I'll be studying for my biology test!

Smoky Candy Cane EOTD



Hey fashionistas!
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas (and if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you had an amazing day!).

Here's the "Smoky Candy Cane" look.



My eyebrows looked all funky in these pictures, they did not look like this the rest of the day.

This is the palette that I used for most of the colors. I hadn't used this in a long time!
*Image taken from Google*
  • VS Creme Shadow for a base
  • Essence Surfer Palette the white color for my inner corner color
  • Flirt Limited Edition palette from 2008, I used the last color in the 4th row from my inner 2/3 of my eye outwards
  • Then I used the 4th color in the 2nd row on the outer corner.
  • I used the 2nd to last color in the last row in my crease/outer corner
  • For my highlight I used the top color on the left of the Vanity palette from Wet n' Wild
  • Stila smudge pot in black
  • Rimmel Lash Maxx
  • Maybelline Falsies

For some reason this just really reminds me of a candy cane!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Here's what our tree looked like before we opened presents.




My sister bought Java a little shirt (hehehe!) so here's Christmas Java!
His shirt said "Sorry Santa I ate the cookies."

I have some posts planned for tomorrow that I'm really excited to post!

Merry Christmas!

Veterans Day Haul






Hello fashionistas!

I just thought I would share what I bought today (and my mom bought for me).

Ross
It's a Jessica Simpson bag and I'm in LOVE with it. This is one of my birthday presents, I told my mom to hold on to it until my birthday. First I had to share it with you guys!

Here's it with the long strap.


Ross
This was from New York and Company (which I love that store).

At Costco I also picked up a pair of dark jeggings (which surprisingly look nice on) and a pair of jeans. Nothing super special. So I didn't picture these.


Ulta
This is in the shade 'Almost Famous'.

Just In Case
By the way sorry for the poor phone pictures, my other camera was dead and I couldn't find any batteries.


NYX- Yogurt

At my ULTA there was a 2 for $10 going on select OPI polishes.
These are the two I chose.


*Image take from Google Images

This is 'Cajun Shrimp'



* Image taken from Google Images

This is Charged Up Cherry



That's all for now because I am off to work on my science fair board and journal. The whole thing is due on Monday. My partner is doing the conclusion and the research paper.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I'm so happy that it's Friday!

Mini ULTA Haul

Hey girlies as promised here is my mini (under 20 bucks!) ULTA haul.



1.) Essence eyeshadow palette- $2.99
2.) Sally Hansen Hard as Nails polish in 'Dahlia'- $2.29
3.) NYX Runway Collection palette in 'Secret World'- $9.99





Swatches are in the same order as in the palette. The 3rd color is actually a little more pigmented then pictured. I have not used these yet, but I am looking forward to (and really you can't beat $2.99!).




This is the NYX palette in 'Secret World'.


These are swatches of the top row.


And these are swatches of the bottom row.

This is the look I created today using the first 4 colors from the top row.


It reminds me a lot of a sunset. I thought they NYX shadows were incredibly pigmented and I will be buying another of these palettes (they had like 6 or so different ones).

Until next time(:
