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!

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to show you all what I wore to school today.

A thought often passes through my mind when I walk out the door, "I look more like a woman going to job than a girl going to school." I like dressing up. I can't wait for the days when I get to be a classy, working woman! 

Blazer and earrings: New York and Company Top: Belk Jeans: Belk (Jones New York) Shoes: JCP Bracelet: Belk  

I have been waiting to wear this shirt and I finally wore it today! I love the sheerness with the polka dots. I wanted to contrast with a bright white blazer, but I also wanted to show you the flowing sleeves. 

For a pop of color I added my blue heels. I wanted sleek jewelry, so I wore a silver bracelet and some simple silver, faux diamond stone earrings. 

For makeup I did a subtly smokey eye and a bright pink lip. The lip color is not translating very well in these pictures! Annoying. Hair straight and with a bobby pin to pin my bangs over. 

I had a really good day today! 

I got a chemistry test, one that I took forever ago, and I got a 96%. I worked so hard, I'm really happy!

I also got a 5 on the AP 3D scale for one of my projects. A 6 is the highest and extremely difficult to garner. 

I'm off to go do homework. I have a plan to write for english. Then I have to finish steps 3 and 4 for my AP 3D 'exploring my voice'  packet. That's going to take me forever! 

Have a great day!

Makeup and Outfit of the Day 12-22-11

Hello fashionistas! 

I went down for a quick visit to my aunt's work with my mom and sister this morning. 

This is what I wore for makeup and for my clothing. 

The clothing worn in the makeup pictures were pre me getting dressed. I was wearing my diy galaxy shirt when I took these. 

Face

MAC matte creme 

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

Maybelline Purestay Powder Foundation in 'ivory'

Physcian's Formula translucent powder

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (bronzer only to contour)

Maybelline mousse blush in 'Cloud Wine' 

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin

Kitten eyeshadow mixed with a pale, shimmery mauve shadow all over my lid

Urban Decay's Buck in my crease 

Urban Decay's Virgin as my highlight

Covergirl's Lashblast mascara

Lips

MAC Speed Dial lipstick

Covergirl Red Riot Wetslicks lipgloss

I'm convinced that this lip combination makes the perfect, holy grail hot pink lip!

I didn't want to overpower this lip combo, so I stick with a simple pink and brown eye. I think a smokey eye would look good too; for a more formal occasion than just running out and about!

Hair photo.

I quickly ran my straightener over my hair (just to smooth out any lumps from sleeping on it). Then I took a bit of the top layer and pushed it up with a small hair clip. Slipped on a beaded headband from Forever 21 and I was done. Very easy and it dressed my hair up!

Top & Blazer: Kohls Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Shoes: Target Bracelet: local store Necklace: Tiffany & Co. Bag: Ivanka Trump Headband: Forever 21

This was just a very simple, quick outfit. I thought pairing the black with my cream bag created a classy effect. 

Hope you enjoyed!

Happy day before Christmas Eve!

Haul- MAC, Sephora, Bath and Body Works, and Gap

Hello fashionistas!

Last night the family and I went to the mall. I had to exchange my gap jim jam (pajama) pants for a different size. Turns out they were almost completely out of all pajamas, so I had to get a different pair. Still, very cute!

As usual I walked away from the mall with more things than I planned on buying. 

The loot! 

MAC lipstick in the shade 'Speed Dial', it's a cremesheen. A wallflower in the scent 'Salty Caramel' from Bath and Body Works. While there I also purchased a 'pocket bac' in the scent 'Caribbean Escape' and a CO. Bigelow lipgloss in the flavor 'Spiced Vanilla Chai'. Then I wandered down to Sephora and picked up this delicious Body Shop body butter cream in 'Cocount'. 

Everything I bought smells divine. I'm in absolute love with the lipgloss. It's like Starbucks on my lips. What's not to love?

Here's a swatch of Speed Dial. I like that it has more of a glossy feel to it than most lipsticks. Definitely a good addition to my ever growing collection. 

These were the jim jam pants from Gap that I purchased. An off white with silver, glitter stripes running through them. 

Tomorrow my friends, my mom's friends, and my sister's friends are coming over for a little Christmas present exchange party. I came up with the idea that it should be a pajama party, so I'm wearing these. Can't wait to see my girls! 

Have a great day!

Gwen and Janice- Halloween Party

Hello fashionistas!

I though I'd share Lily and I's halloween party costumes. 

The theme was to dress as a musician, so I decided to go as Gwen Stefani because I knew I could easily throw on a dress, heels, poof the hair, and rock some fun makeup. Lily decided to go as Janice Joplin, who was from the 60s. Lily opted for this because she didn't come up with a costume until the night before. Basically she made her hair even crazier than normal and slipped on some retro glasses, which she could not see out of all night due to the fact that she's out of contacts.  

Dress: New York and Company Shoes: JCP Bracelet: F21 Lipstick: MAC Red

via

Here's my inspiration for my costume.

 Here's Lily's inspiration..

Attractive. Nice coke bottle glasses. Which Lily rocked that night. 

The party was pretty fun. A bunch of people who are in bands at our school played. Whenever there is a party all of the band guys insist on bringing their amps and 'jam out'. I typically don't recognize most of their songs. Oh, and there was a "bass battle". It was so lame, I'm not even sure who won!

Haulin' It Up!

Hello fashionistas!

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a few days! I've had another super busy week/weekend.

Yesterday mom and I shopped it up at the mall because I needed shoes for homecoming and then we bought some other things..

Mom and I hit the Sephora and picked up a couple of things. The primer potion duo was on sale for $19, down from the original $26. I was happy that I saw this because I'm almost out of my original primer potion. 

I needed more of my Benefit boi-ing concealer, so I also picked up that. 

We also went to MAC because I went to a Halloween party last night as Gwen Stefani, and I needed a red lipstick. I bought M.A.C. Red.

Here's a swatch of it.

Afterwards we ran into Forever 21 for a few minutes and I found this bracelet. I loved it,so I ended up buying this too.

Ta-da, homecoming shoes! Our theme is 'Neon' (which is such a lame theme, just throwing that out there). 

These shoes are from JCP. We had checked 4 other shoe stores and any shoes I liked were all too big on me or not high enough. 

Then we ran across these and I fell in love. My dress is black so I thought I'd do a little pop of color in my shoes. I wore these with my Gwen Stefani outfit last night to break them in before homecoming, I didn't want my feet to hurt that night! 

It's been a really nice weekend. I'm currently with the best friend, Lily. We're watching Say Yes To the Dress, aka on of my favorite shows. I really like wedding shows! 

Have you guys done any hauling this weekend? 

Lots of love!

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. 

via

     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?

May Favorites!

Hello fashionistas!

Sorry my May favorites is so late.... Better late than never!

 ♥Jergens Natural Glow in light

♥Urban Decay Naked palette

♥ELF professional "C" eyeshadow brush

♥Stila 30 brush 

♥Benefit Boi-ing and Eyebright concealer duo

♥MAC Melon pigment

♥Bath and Body Works' Eau Du Toilette in Sweet Pea 

♥Maybelline Colossal mascara

♥Carmex chapstick in Strawberry

♥Presitge bronzer (no specific name)

Left to right:

Prestige bronzer, UD Naked, UD Half Baked, MAC Melon, Benefit conceal/eyebright *unblended*

♥I bought the Jergens lotion towards the end of April and I used it almost all of May (until I started hitting the pool regularly). I had a lot of comments on my 'tan'.... Little did they know it was a fake, hehe! This was a great buy, it really did gradually build. It looked very real. 

♥I know you all are probably sick and tired of seeing the Naked palette in everyone's favorites, but I just can't help my love for this palette! I got really into using Naked and Half Baked this month. I have a look to go up using Naked and Buck, I'll probably put it up tomorrow or Tuesday. 

 ♥ELF's "C" brush is great to pat shadow on the lid. At $3 this brush is a great buy.

♥Stila's #30 brush is double ended. I can dust shadow across my lid and then use the tapered end to add depth in the crease. I use the tapered end almost everyday. 

♥I picked up the Benefit duo a month and half ago. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but now I love it! I find the concealer to be very creamy, but the eyebright is a little bit difficult to blend. You can buy this duo at Ulta, by the checkout.

♥MAC's Melon pigment was a GREAT buy! I would like to thank my best friend Mel for convincing me that I would use it and it was worth the money! I wore it for 2 weeks straight in the beginning of May, and I never do that! 

♥Sweet Pea eau du toilette is very light and yummy! This is actually my sister's, she doesn't know how much I've been wearing it this month...

♥Maybelline's Colossal mascara I love because of the giant brush. I'm in need of a new mascara, if you have any recommendations tell me below!

♥Carmex is such an awesome product! I put it on right before I go to bed every night, I wake up in the morning with it on lips! It's so long lasting. Everyone should have Carmex in their life.

♥Prestige bronzer is a great, shimmery bronzer. I love to use it on my cheeks to warm up my face. It gives me that summer glow! 

I hope you enjoyed my late May favorites! What were you loving last month? Did we have anything in common? 

Lots of love!

Favoris de Janvier !

Hello my fashionistas!

I have my January favorites for you all.

I decided to do the title in French because I'm in French class and my best friend Melissa reads my blog (hey girlfrannnn!) and we have French together. I feel like my teacher would be proud!

I have a little confession, I hate doing favorite posts!

It's not that I don't like reading them because I love doing that but, all the work of swatching, deciding what I loved during the month, and how to keep it from being a rambling post drives me nuts! I feel like I don't always give one product enough talk during the post or I talk too much about another! Have no fear though, I'll keep doing them!

Here's what I've been loving for my eyes during Janvier!

Urban Decay Naked Palette (specifically Hustle, Sin, and Virgin, and Naked for my brows) ♥

MAC pan shadows in Satin Taupe and Twinks ♥

NYC Liquid Liner in Black ♥

Maybelline Colossal Lash in Glam Brown ♥

Rimmel Lond 1-2-3 Mascara ♥

• I love the Naked palette, honestly I can't rave enough about it. Hustle is the most amazing crease color for a neutral smoky eye! Love! Sin makes a great inner corner color. Virgin is good for a frostier highlight. I've been using Naked to fill in the sparse areas in my brows.
• Satin Taupe is my holy grail color! It's just fantastic! I've been using it mostly all over the lid but, if you want to go for a lighter smoky daytime eye I think it would be a great crease color. Twinks is really great too, it adds definition to my outer corner when I use Satin Taupe all over with Sin in the inner corner, Hustle in the crease, and Virgin as a highlight.
• I used to abhor liquid liner but, this liner is so great! I'm no pro at applying liquid liner, I stink at lining the inner corner area. It always comes out to wide of a line, any tips? Anyways, NYC liquid liner is super cheap (under $3.00 at Target), super black, and I love the brush. Cheap and good, what's not to love?!
• My Falsies finally got used up (must repurchase!!!) so I've been using my Colossal and I've been really enjoying it. I've found that it's a drier mascara but, it does a good job at lengthening (although I think it's meant for volume right?) any-who, I love!
• I won the Rimmel 1-2-3 mascara on Ellie Love's Friday Freebie a month or two ago and I didn't use it very much because I found it to be too wet. I started using it again after I used up my Rimmel Lash Maxx and Falsies and I found that I love it! When used with Colossal underneath with a coat or two of this over it, it gives a very full lash affect! Beware though, it's a very wet mascara.

Left to Right:

Satin Taupe, Twinks, Hustle, Sin, Virgin, & the NYC Liquid Liner in black.

Left to Right:

NYC Liquid Liner, Colossal, Rimmel 1-2-3.

Rimmel 1-2-3 is one of those mascaras with different 'settings' , this is 'setting' number 2. I guess 1 and 2 give a little bit of a different effect but, not so much that I use one more than the other!

Face Favorites!

Stila Road to Radiance (only the cream blush in Hibiscus) ♥

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (only the bronzer) ♥

ELF Pink Passion Blush ♥

• The cream blush in here is highly pigmented and it blends super easily. I love layering Pink Passion over it.
• I know, the contouring and blush duo was in last month but, I love! It's such a great contouring color. I never contoured before and now I don't know how I survived without!
• This blush was also in my favorites last month but, I've been using it a ton!

Left to right:

Hibiscus, Pink Passion, Pink Passion over Hibiscus, and the contouring bronzer.

In real life Pink Passion alone and over Hibiscus is a lot more vibrant. Hibiscus alone is looking more purple-y but, really it's a deep pink.

Finally my perfume/nails/lip favorites!

DKNY Be Delicious ♥♥♥

OPI Windy City Pretty ♥

Rimmel London Airy Fairy lipstick ♥

• I've wanted this perfume for like 2 years and when Lily bought it for me I was so happy! Thanks girl! Whenever I wear it (ahem, everyday!) I get loads of compliments and questions about what I have on!
• I took this polish a couple of months ago from my mom and never put it back in her bathroom... I started wearing it a lot during the end of the month. Opaque in two coats and a very simple pink.
• I heard loads of people raving about this lipstick and I had to pick it up! It's a nice pink with what looks like to me kind of a golden sheen? I don't know! My lips are super pigmented on their own but, I occasionally like wearing lipstick and this is a nice neutral pink that requires no fuss!

Left to Right:

OPI Windy City Pretty & Airy Fairy.

Excuse the fact that my hand/arm looks all fat, the tape and the awkward angle I had to bend my hand to get a good picture makes my hand look bloated!

Let me know what your favorites of Janvier were!

Loads of love!

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!
