Going Out Makeup

Whenever I do my makeup, I usually only spend about 2 minutes on it. I put liquid foundation on the back of my hand, take a blush brush, and lightly sweep it across places where I have pimples or blemishes. Next, I'll take some bronzer to even out my skin. Then I apply eye liner and mascara and that's it. This whole look took me about 5 minutes total though. I wanted to dress up a bit more because I was going over to Boyfriend's house.


First off, yes I know I need to pluck my eyebrows; I did that after I took the pictures. Besides that, here is what each eye looks like. The camera flash is on, so the eye makeup looks a lot lighter than it actually is. I still put liquid foundation on the back of my hand. But instead of applying it to just pimples and blemishes, I took a little pocket blush brush, and applied it under my eyes and all across my eyelid. I don't own an eye shadow base, so the liquid foundation kind of does the same job. I would apply a bit of bronzer all over my face, and under my eyes so they wouldn't be so light from the foundation. Then I used my dual eyeliner stick from NYC- the green and black one and lined the bottom eye in the corner with black, and the top lid with the green. Then I took NYX eye shadow in Rust and just applied it to my lids. Here's the whole look finished...

I look kind of weird in this picture, I needed to sneeze really bad lol. But that's basically the whole look. It takes about 5 minutes to do the whole thing. Don't forget to put moisturizer on before it all though! And be sure to use lots of chapstick to prevent those chapped winter lips!

New Products!

So I purchased a few new products today. It's a very small haul, but I'm loving every purchase..

The three nail polishes that I got is White Out by Orly, Cashmere by NYC, and Pink Promenade by NYC. It's almost officially winter, so I decided to get "snow colors" as I like to call them. And I'm loving this pink because it stands out so much from all the wetness and brown-ness of everything. 

These hair products are both from TIGI and I'm absolutely in love with them! They work perfectly for my naturally wavy hair to create that perfect beach wave. 

This is by Suave, and it's leave-in conditioner. I've always had a really hard time finding a good leave-in that doesn't make my hair all greasy or chalky. I'll try this one out and see...

 And last but not least, my Tresemme hairspray! I would die without this.It's my favorite hairspray ever.

Day 7

Day 7- Your Favorite Animal Day. Baby Sea Otters.

New Room

I'm not for sure if I've mentioned it already or not, but my whole house has had white walls until recently. Last summer we had to re-do part of the drywall pretty much on 2 whole sides of the house. After we were done with them, I convinced my parents that our house could do with a bit more color. So we ended up and painted the Boy's Room a light blue and Mum and Dad's room a very light orange-y/yellow color that looks really pretty when the sun starts rising. My room stayed the same- neon green and ocean blue. I've had my room painted like that for years... I'm not entirely for sure why I picked those colors. I think it was mostly because there was a trend going on with my elementary school friends about having a neon green room. But, after about... 8 years, I think I'm ready to move on. I've been searching around, and I know that I'll never be able to afford it, but this is basically what I want my dream room to look like. Oh, and I have 1 window in my room- a decent sized window- but I'd like for it to be a bit larger so more light would be let into the room and I would actually be able to put drapes on it... I also want to be able to convert my plain white door to this. I tried to find a picture of it on the internet, but there wasn't one. So I had to use the power of Paint...


I'm also loving silver wallpaper- especially metallic.. 

I've always adored mirror dressers as well. So chic..

I'm not for sure if it would go with the rest of the room or not, but OMG! I love this color and it looks so beautiful and flow-y..


I'm also still deciding on if I would want a headboard or not, and trying to find the perfect black lace curtains. And also how to make my closet bigger! But that's probably something that I'll never be able to solve.

Winter Weather Worries

I love the winter. From lots of layers, fur, fireplaces, smell of burning wood, extra coffee, skiing, and having an excuse to cuddle, it's one of my favorite seasons. One thing I can't stand though? How dry it makes my skin. I just watched a whole episode of Pretty Little Liars which is about 44 minutes without commercials. I spent the ENTIRE time putting on the green tea moisturizer from Proactiv and my face is still dry! Even though it's a travel size bottle (.33 oz.) I shouldn't have to use the whole bottle. I'm giving my face a bit of a rest right now because it feels a bit tingly. The moisturizer was cold and felt extreeemly soothing on my skin though. Any who, I'll probably go back to watching another episode of Pretty Little Liars because it is my new addiction and I'm feeling really lazy today. More bad news- I'm going to have to clean my room in search to find my Cetaphil moisturizer. Hopefully that can do the trick without me having to use the whole can of it...    

Day 6

Day 6- Anything Hello Kitty Day.
These are 2 pieces from the Hello Kitty "One of a Kind Kitty Creations". The first dress (silver) is by Miro.I love the detailing of it, the cut, the open back, and of course the color. I'm not for sure if this dress would work for all body types, especially mine (pear), but it sure does look amazing on the mannequin. The second dress is by Zac Posen.Need I say more?  

Day 5

Day 5- Your Favorite Thing To Do Day. So far, my absolute favorite thing to do is anything that doesn't involve school. I have never appreciated the ability to relax before so much. When I relax, I usually catch up on watching Pretty Little Liars or Chuck, read a book, go outside, go to Boyfriend's house, or just hang out with friends. Recently though, one of my absolute favorite things to do is to experiment with makeup. Even though I'm still not very knowledgeable about it all, it's still fun to experiment and just play around with all the different possibilities.
