July Favorites 2010

Two posts in one day! Aren't you lucky(:

These are the products I have reached for A LOT this month (umm can anyone else believe how fast this month went by???). Only 22 days (tomorrow) until school starts. ):

So here we go.



I love the lightest color in the Stila trio and it is called Kitten. Perfect for all over, highlight, inner corner, everything!

Falsies is a really wonderful mascara, I just can't get enough of this product!

I like the LashMaxx for my lower lashline because (you can look at swatches of kitten and the mascara brushes in my Collective Haul post).

The Stila smudgepot in black is so easy to use and it doesn't fade, it stays put!

The Rimmel bronzer in Sunny bronze is so nice, I love it because it is matte (and it was under 5 bucks!).

NYC creme blush in 'Plaza Pink' makes my face look warm and glowing, love it.

These are the products that weren't in my makeup bag (well actually it's a Caboodle, one of the plastic ones).



The Vaseline body lotion in Cocoa Butter feels really nice on my skin and it absorbs very quickly. Also, it smells pretty yummy(:

Secret Garden body spray in Sweet Daydream smells all light and florally but not too florally.

Revlon nail polish in 'Minted'. I love this color, the only thing is you have to do 3 thin coats to make it opaque. I did a nails of the day posts a couple of days if you want to see a swatch of it.

EOTD/FOTD/OOTD

Hello lovelies, today I thought I would do a couple of posts, so first up is my eye of the day, face of the day, and outfit of the day. I woke up at like 7 this morning and my mom, her friend, and I took Colby (the puppy) to a bridge that a lot of people walk/run/bike. So I am really tired, 'walking' Colby is like walking and doing weights because you have to drag him along. Colby has two speeds: fast (hey let's run and chase that person!) and no, no I'm not walking I will sit/lay here and look at you with my pathetic little eyes! We went early and by the end I was DRENCHED in sweat (yuck!), so when I got home I took a shower and got all beautified(:

Here is what I wore.

I'm not going anywhere today, my bestie is coming over at like 5ish but other then that not much going on today. And it is thundering like mad right now!


This is what I wore for earrings, I only took one out to show you guys.
And since I wasn't going anywhere I didn't have shoes on. Basically this outfit was just comfy and casual.

Dress: Ross (as seen in a haul in I believe... June?)
Earrings: Forever 21 they came in like a set of three studs.

Face of the day (and this picture makes me look weird, so sorry).

Yeah I kind of hate this picture. And yes I do wear glasses, I just took them off for this picture.

Eye of the day

Eyes open(:

Eye closed.

These are the products I used for my eyes.

I used the pink one (Valley girl) in my outer corner and the light purple (Souther Belle) in the middle of my eye (midtone area) and in my inner corner I used Stila's eyeshadow Kitten (sorry I forgot to include it in the picture). I used Falsies on my upper lashes and on my lower lashes I used the LashMaxx.

These are the products I used for my face.

I used the bronzer on the sides of my face and the sides of my forehead, the blush on the apples of my cheeks and a pinch of it in the middle of my forehead. The other two are pretty self explanatory!

Thanks for following/commenting!

A Collective Haul

Hello lovelies, today I thought I would do a collective haul of things I have bought over the past few weeks. Sorry for the crummy picture quality, they were taken on my cellphone. I am going to display all of the pictures and then tell you what I think about them.
















Time to tell you what it all is
1.) This is all of the stuff that I have collected over the past couple of weeks. Yes I know a lot!

2.) Falsies from Maybelline in very black (or whatever the blackest color was), the Stila Lash Visor Waterproof in blackest black (this came with the smudge pot, the stone/smog/kitten trio, one step primer, and the Stila #30 brush), and Lash Maxx from Rimmel. My favorite would have to be the Falsies one. I love it! Makes applying mascara so quick and easy, one swoop and I'm good!

3.) L-R: Stila Waterproof Lash Visor, Lash Maxx (Rimmel), and Falsies (Maybelline).

4.) This is the Stila trio. Left to right are: Stone, Smog, and Kitten. Kitten by far is my favorite in the trio, and perhaps ever!

5.) These are the swatches in the same order as above.

6.) This was also in the $20 Stila thing I got from Costco. It is a gel eyeliner in black, it stays all day and doesn't stray! So easy to work with, I love it!

7.) This was the Stila One Step Makeup, this is in the color medium and I am more a light. I have yet to try this.

8.) This was the Road to Radiance palette that I ordered off of Zappos (you get free shipping!).

9.) Left to right eyeshadow colors: Snow Bunny (a shimmery champagne color),Souther Bell (a mauve color), Valley Girl (a little bit of a shimmery true pink color), City Chick (a dark purple), and the blush color is in Hibiscus ( oh and it is a creme blush). This can also be worn for a lip color. I love all of these colors and for 10 bucks it is a bargain!

10.) NYC Plaza Pink creme blush

11.) Swatches of Plaza Pink. The first is layered and the second is one swipe. I really like this color, it is easy to blend and looks nice with my tanned face(: You can find this at WalMart.

12.) This is swatches of Rimmel London's Natural Bronzer in #022 color Sun Bronze (on the website is called Sunny Bronze, so I don't know). I like this a lot, it is a matte bronzer no sparkles/shimmers whatsoever. It is perfect for a warm. sunny glow. I typically put this on the sides of my forehead, the sides of my face (not the apples of my cheeks), my nose and a my chin, in the rest I put whatever blush I want to use. Then I blend it so the lines aren't harsh, it looks really nice. I forgot to take an up close picture of the product, sorry!

13.) This is the brush that came with the thing I bought at Costco. It is a double ended brush and I absolutely love it! The stubby end is really good for patting on shadow and the other end is good for your crease and inner corner (like highlight colors).

14.) This is Hard Candy Take Me Out Liner in the shade 'Camo'. This is a nice greenish brown shade and it really does remind me of camouflage. Sorry I forgot to take an up close picture of this product too!


I hope you guys enjoyed my collective haul.

Revlon 'Minted' Nail Polish♥

Hello lovelies! I just thought I would show you the new nail polish I got the other day. I really, really like it. It is so pretty and has a nice shine to it. It is from Revlon and in the color 'Minted' and the number is 85.



This is three coats with a base. You can do two coats and it is opaque, the only reason I did 3 was because I had messed up a nail so I just went over each nail with another coat.

The Versatile Blogger Award!

Hey lovelies! First of all I would like to thank the lovely Gina from http://imaginable21.blogspot.com/ and second of all I would like to thank all of my followers(:





The Rules:


1. Share 7 things about yourself.
2. Pass the award onto a few bloggers who you have recently discovered.
3. Let these blogs know that you have awarded them the Versatile Blogging Award.
Seven things about myself, you say? I shall whip up a few fun facts. And let's spice them up with pictures, just for fun!




1.) I sleep with a fan on every night, even if I'm cold. And I sleep with a blanket whether I'm hot or cold!




2.) I read a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT! I love Jane Green, Jodi Picoult, Sophie Kinsella, Sara Shepard, Sidney Sheldon and many, many more.
I am currently reading the two books above. The second book is for school, I have to do a timeline with 20 important events in Ender's life. Oh Ender.





3.) I am a talker more than I am a texter.
This is my cellphone.




4.) I am a natural blonde, no highlights/dyes nothing. All natural(: Many people ask me this. When we were vacationing in LA and we were on Rodeo Drive we passed a salon and this stylist kept looking at me when we walked by and my mom was like she is looking at you hair, and I thought that was super cool(: This picture was taken on Rodeo Drive.



5.) I am very studious. I always do my homework and I always study and my friends who aren't as studious as me always make fun of me! The worst grade on a report card I've ever gotten was the first 9 weeks of algebra I got a C (it was a high C).. I cried for 20 minutes. People laughed.


6.) I really don't like when people tap on things during tests. For example when we had our standardized testing this year the guy who was sitting behind me kept making noise with his knuckles and I turned around quite a couple of times to give him glares! He apologized(:



7.) If I could choose any store to live in it would be Sephora. Or Forever 21. Too bad my stupid mall doesn't have one, but they are building one! Double yeyyyy!

I actually went to this Sephora once in Las Vegas, I bought a makeup brush.


* All of the pictures (except the one of me) were taken from Google images.

And in case you were wondering why the pictures don't line up with the facts well I don't know why, they just wouldn't.

I know these random facts aren't like inspiring or anything but, maybe you guys wanted to know some of these I don't know.

Here are the people I tag for this award.

*elle hearts blogs

*Legally Blonde

*Productrater!

That's all for now my lovelies!

What I Purchased Last Night

So after reading Karen's blog (http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/) a couple of days ago I found out about a Stila palette that was only 10 dollars. I hadn't ever used Stila products or bought any (until yesterday at Costco and this palette I'm telling you about now). It is a limited edition palette and it will only be on the Stila website until the end of July. It has 4 eyeshadows and a blush. All for 10 bucks! How awesome! I instantly new that I had to have it, as I read the comments people had left on Karen's post about it, I learned that it was only available online not in store. So I continued reading the comments and saw that Stila wanted 8 bucks for shipping, that's almost the cost of the palette! After I saw that I was like well forget about buying that, but I kept scrolling and another comment caught my eye saying that Zappos had them for 10 dollars and the shipping for anything at all on that website is free, no matter how much you spend. I was like 'Yeyyy' I can get it! So my dad ordered it for me , and I can expect it in 4-5 business days. I am super duper excited about it! Here are some pictures of it. This is the link to the post on Karen's blog. http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/im-tripping-over-the-10-stila-road-to-radiance-palette/

Now for some pictures. The pictures are from the Zappos website.

EOTD

Hello followers(: I just thought I would do a quick eye of the day post. I used my new Stila products.

For my eyes: Kitten all over the lid, Smog in the outer corner and crease, Stone right before Smog. I used the Smudge Pot in black for my eyeliner (I love it!) and Lash Visor mascara. For primer I used my Victoria Secrets Beauty Rush cream shadow (now discontinued) in a gold shade that I don't really remember the name. Here are some pictures. All but the primer are Stila products.













Hope you guys like, I will do a review after I use the products some more.

OOTD/ FOTD/EOTD

Hello my lovelies, how are you today? I am having a wonderful day. My mom's best friend came over today and we went to Home Goods, Panera (yummy!), Sephora, Joanne's Fabrics, and Costco. I was very good in Sephora I looked, I lusted, but I did not (yes you read that right) buy anything. I told my mom what I wanted for my birthday/Christmas, this is ridiculous seen as my birthday is December 8th and Christmas is obviously just as far away! I also casually said if she 'felt like buying me anything next time she went that I would be fine with it! LOL! Part of the reason I didn't buy anything was because last time I went to Costco (like a month or so ago) I had seen this Stila set that had : A face primer, a gel liner, a mascara, a double ended brush, and a palette that had the colors stone, smog and kitten (which I really wanted!) all for $20! I think everything but the face primer is full size, maybe not the gel eyeliner (but who cares). When I had gone they had a 'warm palette' and a 'cool palette'. I had really wanted the warm palette but alas they were out (cue the tears! Okay not really). I ended up buying the cool palette. This was the reason why I didn't buy anything in Sephora. I will be doing a review and swatches of the Stila set once I use it for a bit.


Now for my OOTD, FOTD, EOTD(:
First up, my outfit.

T-shirt- from New York and Company (was in a haul from last month)
Jeans- Kohls Gloria Vanderbilt, I just rolled them up some
Shoes- didn't have any on yet wore my trust gladiators
Bangle- Forever 21
Earrings- Forever 21



My face, I end up changing my hair because my bangs were driving me NUTS! I am thinking that it is time to get them cut (again). So I did a middle part and pinned each side over (it ended up being really cute and easy).



Here is my eyes upclose. The products I used are Maybelline eyeshadow (single) in 'Seashell', then a light purple in my FLIRT! palette and a slightly dark color (not very dark at all though) purple in the same palette. Mascara Rimmel Lash Maxx (which I am loving!). For my face I used a CG concealer I think the shade is fair (I don't remember), Physicians Formula powder in 'Translucent', and Hard Candy blush in Living Doll.






And this is with my glasses, me and my four eyes(:







Thanks for following and commenting, I love you guys!

What Do You...

Think about this hat?

In case you were wondering why the white in the background looks so strange, it is because I whited out my room. The fan looked like it was coming out of my head! So that is why the white looks kind of random.

Nails of the Day #2

Hello lovelies(: I just thought I would show you what I am wearing on my nails right now.


This is from the Wet n' Wild Shine collection in the color 'Dream Poppy'. I like this color a lot, although I am noticing that in these pictures it kind of looks like a hot pink but, in real life it is more of pinkish orange color. Sometimes it looks more orangey pink and sometimes it looks hot pink. Sorry my middle finger is all messed up, when I took of my press ons the glue still hasn't completely left my nails. The middle fingers on both my hands have a lot of it still left on them. I have used acetone based nail polish remover and it won't come off! Any tips on how to get it off?

This is the bottle.

I'm not really sure why the label is worn off? So yeah..
