November Favorites





Hey dolls, I know this is so cliche but.. November went by so fast!
Here's what I've been loving for the past month.


L-R
ELF Studio Bronzer in Warm Bronzer♥
ELF Studio Blush in Pink Passion♥
ELF Contouring and Blush duo (I've only been using the bronzer)♥
ELF Cream Liner in Black♥
ELF Studio blush brush♥
CO. Bigelow Cinnamint Mentha Lipshine♥
Sleek Original Palette (I've been using the 2nd to last color in the top row for a pop of color on my bottom lashes)♥
Wet n' Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Sweet as Candy (The first two colors, not so much the bottom)♥
LA Colors Palette in Traditional♥



I've been using the ELF Studio Bronzer to warm up my face everyday.
I've used the Pink Passion blush a lot this month, towards the end of the month I started using some other blushes but this was used most of the month.
I haven't used the blush part of the contouring and blush duo but, I have used the contouring side EVERYDAY.
I just started using the ELF cream liner and it's quite comparable to Stila's smudge pots. One of these days I'll get around to doing a comparison.
The ELF blush brush is amazing. You need it in your life.
I love the CO. Bigelow gloss, it's super glossy and makes my lips so shiny. People at school are always saying how glossy my lips are.
The only color I've been using from the Sleek palette a lot this month is in the 1st row 2nd to the last. I've been using it on my outer corner on my bottom lashes line. It's a great pop of color.
This month I have used the white shade in the Wet n' Wild trio for a highlight almost everyday. The brown shade works for a great crease color, dark but not too dark.
Did you guys notice how the LA Colors palette made it in my favorites again? Well it did! I've been using more than just the two colors I used last month. I've hit a bit of pan on one of the colors. These are really great quality for how inexpensive they are.


Here's the non-makeup things I used a lot last month.


L-R

Black Amethyst perfume from Bath and Bodyworks♥
Aussie Mega Hairspray♥
Helen of Troy curling iron♥
ELF Smoky Brown nail polish♥

I'm not even going to try to explain the smell of Black Amethyst, I'm horrible at that!
I've been using this hairspray daily, it gives a great hold but my hair isn't crunchy. After curling my hair with the Helen of Troy curling iron I just flip my head upside down and spray the hairspray all over and then flip back up and adjust my hair. It gives me more volume.
I've been using this curling iron a lot! I go to sleep with my hair wet from the shower and in braids and then I take the braids out spray a heat protectant on my hair and use this iron to get the curls I've had for the past couple of outfit of the day posts.
ELF Smoky Brown nail polish has made its way onto my nails multiple times this month. Such a pretty, creamy shade.


That's all for my favorites!

Outfit of the Day and Eye Makeup of the Day 11/2/10


Hello fashionistas!
A look was requested my one of my lovely followers using my "Traditional" palette by LA Colors.
Here's what I usually do.


In case you were wondering this is the Traditional palette below


First I take a primer (I use VS creme shadows).
Then I put Stila's Kitten all over my lid.
Then I took the 2nd brown in the 2nd row and put it in my midtone.
Next, I took the last brown in the 2nd row and put it in my crease/outer corner.
Then I took Stila's smudge pot in black (a holy grail product to me) and put it on my upper lashline and winged it out (the wing was thicker than I wanted).
After that I took Rimmel's LashMaxx and put that on my top lashes and put a coat of Maybelline's Falsies over that.
After this (this is optional) I took a bit of my VS creme shadow and put in on the outer corner of my lower lash line.
Then over the creme shadow I put a teal-y blue color from the Sleek Original palette for a POP of color.



It's really simple and an easy to wear everyday look.


Here's what I wore with it.

I'm not sure why blogger is making this photo so small. I had it on the 'large' setting. Sorry!

Tank: Kohls
Shirt: JCP
Jeans: Levis (sorry they weren't pictured!)
Shoes: I wore some simple metallic gladiators (not pictured)
Necklace: Forever 21


That's all for now.

October Favorites







Dearest fashionistas,

Instead of being RIDICULOUSLY late on my favorites like normal I decided to just get it done!

So here it is.

Top to bottom:

  • J'adore by Dior parfum
  • NYC Color Wheel Mosaic blush in 'Pink Cheek Glow'
  • Orly nail polish in 'Close Your Eyes'
  • Stila Smudge Pot in 'black'
  • Stila Kitten shadow
  • Rimmel's Lash Maxx mascara
  • Maybelline's Falsies mascara
  • LA Colors palette in 'Traditional' (this is in my giveaway)

The color that I'm loving from this palette is the second one in the second row. It's a nice light brown
color. I've been using it in either my midtone or my crease, depending on how dark I want to go.


Here are swatches of the brown and Kitten.


I'm loving using Rimmel's Lash Maxx with Maybelline's Falsies over it. My new favorite combo!
Here are the brushes.


I'm off to go carve pumpkins!


Happy Halloween fashionistas!

Outfit of the Day

Hey chickadees(:

Here is what I wore today, I tried to do a close up of my eye but the colors wouldn't show up on camera so I'm not going to put it in.








Dress: Ross
Cardigan: Ross
Shoes: Aerosoles from Ross
Bracelets: Forever 21
Hair clip: Target

My face is basically what I use on a daily basis so I'm not going to put it unless you want to know, then put it in the comments below!

On my eyes: Base Victoria Secret's creme shadow (and on a third of my lower lashline). LA Colors (12 thing I picked up at the Dollar Genral)
Victoria Secrets light purple shadow and a NYX purpley with gold glitter (barely noticeable) color from the palette I bought at Ulta in my crease. E.L.F. plum eyeliner with the LA color white shadow on top of it. Full n' Soft and Falsies on my top lashes. The same NYX color on my lower lashline.

Today I finished my first pinch pot in pottery and I will be painting it next week. I have a French, Geometry, and Biology quiz tomorrow. So off to study and do my geometry homework.

Dollar General Haul

Hey girlies there happens to be a Dollar General right next to the gym my mom and I go to so we occasionally pop in there so this is what I picked up.



Nail polish remover
LA Colors 12 palette in "Traditional" - does anyone want swatches? They are quite pigmented for how inexpensive they are.
LA Colors nail polish in "Red Stilettos"- I have this on now (I just did my nails) so I will take pictures tomorrow and do a post on it.
Conair Professional paddle brush
E.L.F. Total Face Brush I actually was in the market for something to blend my bronzer with and I am really glad I bought this.

So now to tell you girls about my latest project. Yes the time has finally come to do a Project 10 Pan, and I'm sure most of you are familiar with this but, if you aren't it means I am going to finish up 10 products before I buy any more makeup. Yes you read that right. Oh how this shall be fun, wait no it won't be! It needs to be done, I have so many things that I just don't use often enough.

I'm off to bed but I just wanted to remind you all that I will be having my 75 follower giveaway once I reach well, 75 followers!

I hope you all have a good Monday tomorrow (or for some of you today!)

Nails of the Day

Hey girlies! I just thought I would do a quick post and then I'm off to do some laundry and then my nails (as I just took off what you're about to see). Oh and I really need to keep reading Ender's Game so that will be done right while I'm all snuggled up in my comfy bed!






I still have on my Nailene nails in So Natural (which I love!).
I did a base coat.
I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Dahlia. One coat would've been fine if I hadn't had the So Natural nails on because you could see the white tips.
I used LA Colors nail art polish stuff (not too sure on how to describe these!) in black to make a line and silver glitter to go over it.
After all of that I used a top coat.

I had it on for 4 1/2 days (I took it off tonight, I just wanted a new color). I'm not sure what I will do next, but I did buy a Pure Ice polish a couple weeks ago in this grey/silver color. Maybe I'll use that.

Thanks for following and commenting!
