Sunset Boulevard- Makeup of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

Today I did a sunset inspired makeup and remembered to take pictures to share with you all. 

I used my new Too Faced Summer Eye palette for some of this. Overall, I definitely like the Romantic Eye palette better. I think the quality of the shadows is better, some of the Summer Eye shades aren't as pigmented/become muddy when you blend. 

Here are the products I used on my eyes.

Urban Decay Primer Potion

MAC Melon pigment all over

Too Faced Summer Eye palette's Coral Crush in my outer corner/crease

Urban Decay Naked 2 Half Baked in the center/blended into the Coral Crush 

Urban Decay Bootycall as my highlight

Too Faced Summer Eye palette's Toasted Coconut as my eyeliner

Covergirl Lashblast mascara top and bottom

Urban Decay Naked to fill in my eyebrows a  bit

Full face shot. I used my favorite blusher ever, Nars' Orgasm. I am sporting a nice all over tan because of the recent beach trips I've taken! I went Sunday morning/afternoon with the boyfriend and again with him yesterday after school. It was really fun. Anyways, that's the whole reason I'm tan again. 

To keep with the sunset theme I put on Kate Moss' Rimmel London #12 lipstick with Palladio Herbal Liplicious lipgloss in Apricot over it to tone down the the coral. 

Today I took my first AICE english paper and it went relatively well. I definitely passed it. 

Tomorrow is pre-AICE history and this doesn't count for college credit. Should do okay on it. 

I'm off to study with my best friend. After that we're going out to dinner. 

Have a fabulous day!

Done Up - Eye of the Day

Hello beautyistas!

I have a little eye of the day that I did today. Simple bronzey eye makeup, bronze and gold looks are some of my favorites to do!

Products used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion 

Stila Acapulco trio, the outer color all over my lid

Urban Decay Half Baked all over the Stila shade

Urban Decay Smog in the outer corner

ELF Cream Eyeliner in brown on upper lashline

Colossal on my upper lashes (one coat)

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt as a base on my lower lashline

Urban Decay Smog all over the Yogurt

Urban Decay Half Baked in the inner corner of my lower lashline, about 1/3 of my lower lashline has that over Smog

Urban Decay Whiskey in the outer corner of my bottom rim of my eye 

That's it! 

Sorry I didn't take a full face picture, it just slipped my mind. 

Today was the sister's birthday and we had a little party, it was fun. Lily got to come over and we hung out for a bit. We went through old yearbooks and laughed so hard! Yearbook photos are just NOT a good representation of how one actually looks. I got to drive for the first time in 2 weeks today, did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself.. And I am! 

I have a couple of things that I purchased yesterday (mom purchased for me...), I'm going to take photos and put them up probably Sunday or Monday. I didn't get much, only one clothing item, and it was pajamas!

Blue and Stars + Eye of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to show you want I wore in honor of 4th of July.

We did a little BBQ action, but I skipped on fireworks because they are not my favorite thing. 

I'm probably one of the few people who aren't fond of them! 

Shirt: Liz Clairborne  Star top: Belk Shorts: Dockers (bought at Bealls) Watch: Avenues Shoes: Aerosoles Sunglasses: ? 

I finally realized that I need to set my camera on macro mode to pick up makeup well, I used macro on all of these. The only thing I do not like about macro is that it makes me look so pale! 

Anyways, here's my patriotic eye makeup!

Urban Decay Primer Potion

NYX Yogurt pencil as a base on my lower lash line

Stila's Stone eyeshadow all over and in the middle of my lower lash line

Stila's Smog in the crease

Sleek original I-Divine palette dark, shimmery blue in the crease, and all over the bottom lash line

Urban Decay's Virgin in the inner corner, bottom inner corner, and highlight

ELF Studio Cream liner on my upper lash line
Urban Decay's Creep over the ELF Studio Cream liner

Rimmel London 1-2-3 mascara on upper lashes

Covergirl waterproof LashBlast mascara on lower lashes

This showed up a little bit more silver than blue, don't worry it was definitely blue! 

How'd you guys spend your 4th of July?

Blog Birthday + Outfit of the Day + Eye of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to show you what I (almost) wore to school on Friday.

Top: Kohls Tanktop: Aeropostale Skirt: Coldwater Creek Shoes: Aerosoles Earrings: mom's 

I was going to wear this to school on Friday, but it was not very comfortable, so I threw on jeans instead. The jeans were a good call because I did a ton of walking around that day. If I had worn the skirt I probably would have been tugging it around all day. 

Here's my eye makeup that I wore. I've been doing this for the past couple of days, quick and easy! 

EYES

• UDPP
• Urban Decay's Sin all over lid
• Sleek's original I-Divine palette purple all over sin, lightly patted
• Stila's Road to Radiance travel palette's "City Chick" in the crease
• Urban Decay's Virgin as my highlight
• Maybelline Colossal lash
• Stila's Lash Visor

 I took my final exam today. I'm officially a sophomore! Well, except for the fact that I have to take the final part of my pre- AICE biology exam on Friday, but I'm not worried about it. I went home with the best friend Lily and hung out at her house all afternoon/evening. 

Here's a breakdown of my exam grades:

English: 100% (highest out of everyone, very pleased with myself)

Pottery: 100%

Geometry: 80% (I'm happy with that, seen as I thought I was going to not do well at all on it.)

French: 80% (I'm also happy with this because the final exam was SO hard.)

I don't know what I got on my geography exam yet, but overall I'm pretty pleased with my grades.

I just wanted to tell you guys that today is my first blog birthday! I'm so happy to have gotten to 'know' so many of you, you're the kindest people. I have had so many wonderful opportunities brought into my life from blogging. Plus, I get to interact with you all on a daily basis! I remember when I got my very first follower, I had been 3 weeks into blogging, I was out at dinner, waiting for our table. I pathetically checked my Blogger account to see if I had any 'hits' on my blog, when I saw that I had a follower I was SO excited! By the next day I had ten followers! Blogging started as a hobby to do over the summer, now I don't know what I would do without it! I love blogging so much, and I love you all so much. Thank you for being such amazing followers, every new follower I get the happier I am. All of your comments bring smiles to my face and really just warm my heart. If you ever have any questions or requests, drop me a line or comment on a post. I love you guys!

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!

Jewel Bib Necklace Outfit of the Day & Eye Makeup of the Day

Hey fashionistas!

I have an outfit of the day for you all!

I wore this on Tuesday to school.

Blazer: Kohls

Shirt: Forever 21

Tank top: Kohls

Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt

Shoes: Payless

I had my mom use hot rollers on my hair and it made is super voluminous, sadly it fell due to the humidity here by fourth/fifth period. I did it again today and it fell by third period.

I know those of you who are experiencing blizzards right now are probably laughing/super jealous of the humidity but, I wish it was cooler here! Okay, not blizzard cool but, I wish it was like chilly. The high today was 76 F.

Here's my eye makeup that I've been wearing almost the entire month, sorry for the crap phone picture. Seriously, sorry!

Um yeah, I took this while I still had the rollers in my hair!

I used Satin Taupe all over my lid with Twinks in the outer corner, with Hustle (from the UD Naked palette) in my crease, and Sin (from the UD Naked palette) in my inner corner, and Virgin (again from the UD Naked palette) as a highlight.

NYC liquid liner.

Maybelline Colossal Lash mascara and 1-2-3 Volume mascara by Rimmel.

Oh and in my brows I've been using Naked from the Naked palette to fill in the sparse areas.

If you don't have Twinks then this look doesn't have to have it, I just feel like it adds a bit more depth to my outer corner area.

Hope you enjoyed!

Lots of love!

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!

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.
