Sweet Sixteen Gifts

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I'd share all of my birthday gifts with you all. 

I want to say thank you to everyone for everything. I love my friends and family so much!

TIFFANY'S NECKLACE!!! 

My parents, Nana, aunts, and uncle all went in on this for me! I was so so so excited when I opened the box and saw that perfect blue box just sitting there. I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it. If you'll remember a few months ago I wrote a post on here about how I wanted one, well now I have one

This bag is by Ivanka Trump and I had been lusting after it for a few weeks and when I saw that Lily and two of my other friends got it for me I was incredibly happy and excited! 

This bag is from another one of my friends. I absolutely LOVE this bag! It's such a statement color, like "BAM, I HAVE ARRIVED!" 

Not only do I love this box, but I also love what's inside! My aunt, uncle, and cousin got me this plush, purple robe and a trio of Secret Wonderland Bath and Body Works products. The robe is so warm and fluffy.

My mom's good friend (and my honorary aunt) got me all of these movies. A movie for each year (16) and each movie is starting from 1995-2011. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies over winter break!

My great aunt got me this picture frame. I can't wait to hang it up over my dresser! 

One of my friends bought me this, I wore it today. Too cute! 

Another great aunt got me this necklace. I love the beautiful bronze colors swirling about this piece. It's such a statement necklace, I'm still trying to figure out what to pair with it! 

My honorary Nanny bought me this bracelet. I love how girly it is, very me!

This wasn't actually a gift, I bought these while I was out shopping; I just thought I'd include them.

My mom always buys my sister and I ornaments every year. She says she does it so that when we move out we'll have ornaments for our own trees. 

My mom's best friend bought me these nail polishes. I currently am wearing "Wocka Flocka." It's the last one on the right.

Melissa bought me this candle because we both love candles! She also got me this delicious Kenyan coffee from the farmer's market and a Forever 21 giftcard. We're shopping buddies! 

My pottery teacher got me this because I had been craving a carmel apple ever since she'd talked about making them. I was so touched when I walked in and she had this for me, she also put hot pink sprinkles on it! She wasn't able to make my party because of a conflicting engagement. 

My former biology teacher came to my party and she got me this Sephora mirror and a gift card. 

She knows me so well! 

My mom put together a box of pedicure goodies. I think she was tired of me taking her stuff!

Mom also bought me these adorable flats. 

Sephora's beauty insider birthday present. 

My sister got me all of this because I love warm vanilla sugar and Lindor chocolate! 

Again, thank you all so much; I love you all! 

I'm off to go get ready for tomorrow. I have a chemistry test and an english test/essay tomorrow. It's going to be a busy, long week before winter break.

Ins and Outs #3

Hello fashionistas!

I meant to post yesterday (I'm trying to post every other day) but, I went to get my hair cut and while I was there my best friend Lily texted me and was like "want to come over and watch a movie?"

Of course I was like "sure." Then I ended up spending the night, so that's why I didn't blog yesterday! 

Anyways, onto my latest ins and outs.

INS

1.) Summertime! I'm so glad I don't have to go to school, do school work (other than my economics class that I'm forcing myself to do), and see people from school. Hello lazy days!

2.) Nightgowns. I don't know if it's just me, but when summertime comes around I love to sleep in nightgowns. I bought one awhile ago from Kohls (the Simply Vera Vera Wang line) and it is my favorite nightgown! It's soft, comfy, loose but not too loose. It's sort of pajama heaven. I have the pink one. I was going to take a picture of mine, but I realized it's in the wash!

3.) Cleaning and organizing! Ask my best friends, I'm sort of a neat freak. I don't like going to bed in an unmade bed, things have to be tidy, and I don't like the things being out of their designated spot! In preparation of re-doing my room (well the one I share with the sister), I've been cleaning and organizing a lot of stuff! 

4.) I'm into brights on my toes/nails. Right now I have on "Charged Up Cherry" by OPI. This is showing up way more coral than it is in real life. It's definitely a pink with some orangey tones in it. 

5.) Basking in the sun! Practice safe basking and use SPF! 

6.) The musical stylings of Adele. She's ah-mazing! I love Turning Tables. She's also incredibly beautiful.

OUTS

1.) Stress! Stress is gone now that school is out!

2.) Staying up late. For the last couple of nights I've been staying up until the wee hours of the dawn. Bad idea. I'm a light sleeper so I wake up and then I'm tired all day! Plus, I'm not one of those people who can a.) fall back asleep or b.) take a nap.

3.) I'm putting wearing black as an out, but I know I'll probably end up in black again! I just love the way white pops against a good tan. Too bad I don't have good tan going! 

4.) There are really bad fires where I live right now and it's really smoky out. It's been raining off and on all day, so hopefully that will help diminish the smoke. This would be part of the reason why I don't have a good tan going. 

What are some of your ins and outs?

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!

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!
