Gossip Girl Makeup Look Recreated

Hello fashionistas!

Whilst watching this weeks episode of Gossip Girl, I was inspired to recreate Blair's (Leighton Meester) wedding makeup.

Inspired by picture.

Simple, subtly smokey pink makeup with a hot pink lip. Gorgeous.

Here's my take on it.

I went for a little bit of a brighter lip. I opted for no false lashes and used brown eyeliner to bring out my blue eyes. 

Top: American Eagle Earrings: Forever 21

Face

Beneift Boi-ing concealer

Maybelline Pure Stay powder foundation

Physcian's Formula translucent powder

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (bronzer only to contour)

ELF Pink Passion blush 

ELF Warm Bronzer on my cheeks

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Wet n' Wild pink shade from the Sweet As Candy trio (thanks to Amber for sending me this!) all over the lid

MAC Twinks in my crease and outer V

Urban Decay Naked 2 Bootycall and Foxy to highlight- Bootycall first then Foxy to tone down the shimmer

Milani brown Eyepencil on top lash line

Covergirl Lashblast 

Urban Decay Naked 1 Naked in my eyebrows to define

Lips

Revlon Colorburt lipstick in Fuschia 

CO Bigelow lipgloss in Pink Mint over the lipstick

Revlon Lilac Pastelle lipgloss over both of these to tone down the fuschia 

I think my lips turned out way brighter than Leighton's did, but I was happy with the color. Leighton's eyeshadow also appeared to be matte, but I went for shimmer. I honestly couldn't find a matte pink in my stash to dupe this look with. I'm much more of a sparkle and shimmer girl! 

Hope you all like this recreation!

Loads of love!

My Day in Pictures- March 13th, 2011

Hello my lovelies(:

Happy Sunday to you all, I will try to keep my chattiness to a minimum in this post! I love to talk/type/blog/chat so this may be a toughie!

1.) I woke up late due to the time change (11 am!) and I wasn't hungry until like 1 so, I thought cereal wouldn't be appropriate! I decided to make a smoothie.

It has strawberry yogurt, blackberries, ice, milk, and some Equal in it.

Mmmmmmmm!

It was so good that I am going to make one for breakfast tomorrow.

2.) I've always watched Gossip Girl but, I'd never read the books until now. My best friend Mel read them and has been lending them to me. This is the second in the series and I finished it today! The books are oh so different from the show in case you were wondering.

Also, this is where the title from an outfit post came from.

3.) My mom and I decided to go walk the Vilano Bridge today with our dog Colby. This was taken at the beach after we walked (not on the beach, obviously).

Oh Mr. Colby is a handsome boy!

4.) I snapped a picture of the intracoastal while we were driving back over the Vilano Bridge.

It was a beautiful day in Saint Augustine, 73 degrees and not a cloud in the sky!

5.) We went grocery shopping after walking the bridge and I decided to snap a pic in the produce aisles! Hehe(=

We picked up lots of fruits and veggies. Tonight (as per my request) we are having kebabs.

I'm going to try to do a post now and put it up tomorrow because my grandpa and his girlfriend are going to be in town Monday and Tuesday.

So, if I don't post much this week, sorry!

Have a great week, lots of love!

Inspired By: Blair Waldorf (aka Leighton Meester)

Hey dolls!

Twas the night before Black Friday and I'm not letting myself sleep. I'm afraid that I won't be able to wake myself up so here I am doing a little post!

My all time favorite shows is Gossip Girl.

I love the fashion, the scandals, the cast but, most of al the fashion!♥

Leighton Meester's character Blair is probably my favorite character.

I love her bold, preppy, classic style.

This was so Jackie O to me that I fell head over heels in love with this dress! I really like the bold polka-dots, she wears it so effortlessly. It has a classic vintage feel to it.

This was from the first episode of season 4.

I can't remember what season this is from. I think it's from the current season but, I could be wrong.

I love her hair when it's curled, it looks so chic on her. Her makeup is all bronzed on the eyes, light flush on the cheeks, and subtle red lippies. She is gorgeous!

How can there be a Blair/Leighton post without an infamous headband?

Pre-Gossip Girl times (how did we survive?) I was already obsessed with headbands.

They are the perfect accessory and they make it look like you put a lot of effort into your hair.

Blair always wears hers on the right side, I used to wear mine on the left and then I changed to the right. (:

So here's a short rundown on how to make yourself more Blair:

♥ Headbands, they'll never fail you. Don't go Gaga crazy, just something chic.

♥ A little vintage flair will go a long way to making you look put together and classic.

♥ Soft makeup will make you look done up but not overdone.

♥ Something bold to make your look pop and make you shine. I suggest one statement piece, not five.

Update and More

Hello fashionistas!

I'm not sure if anyone likes (or reads) these little updates of mine but, I do them anyways.

There is more to my life then makeup and fashion (well...). Just kidding! (:

To start off I got my report card yesterday and I got all A's and 2 B's. Stupid government and pottery (don't ask, I'm not sure what I even did wrong, apparently a lot of people got B's and C's too).

I also got back part 2 of a government project and I got a 94% on that, so I'm quite please (part 1 was a 88% in case you were wondering).

Then later that night my sister was playing football with the boys next door and broke her arm. Her upper arm so she will now be in a cast for.... 6 to 8 weeks! I feel so bad for her, and it's on the arm that she writes with.

I finally received my package from E.L.F. today (about time). It took 12 days!

I'll be doing a little haul of that tomorrow, it's too dark to swatch right now.

Here's a little preview.

* I had already unpackaged some prodcuts.

Oh, did any of you happen to watch the Project Runway finale?

SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T!

Can anyone else believe that Gretchen won? I really thought that Mondo had it in the bag. I liked his collection more, it was crazy and out there. I loved it. Although I did like some pieces of Gretchen's, I just wished there had been some color in there. I think a teal or turquoise would have really made her pieces POP!

For the Jackie O challenge Mondo had designed this and it was my (well one of them) favorite thing he made on the show. Not including his ah-mazing collection.

I know this is also random but, do any of you watch Gossip Girl?

I'm obsessed. Love it, can't get enough of it.

The cast is great, the fashion is great, the drama and plotting is great.

I'm so happy that Blair and Chuck finally called off the war between them.

I know what Chuck did was unforgivable but, I still like Chuck and Blair together!

Well I am going to go paint my nails and watch Private Practice.

Okay update/rant over!
