Halloweennnnnnnnnn



Fashionistas I can't even believe that I've done 3 posts today!
Craziness.


Here's what I wore (no I did not go trick-or-treating). I walked around with my sister and passed out candy at my house. Since Sierra has a temporary cast on right now we didn't go trick-or-treating.

All credit for the mask goes to my mom. I just picked out the things at Michaels that I wanted on it! My mom is so crafty.

Sierra was going to be a cowgirl but, since she broke her arm she wasn't. Instead she wore the hat.

In case you were wondering my shirt is from JCP and the jacket is from Cotco. I had on a black skirt (the dockers one seen here).


Well I'm off to bed, tomorrow is going to be here soon.

Happy Halloween!

October Favorites







Dearest fashionistas,

Instead of being RIDICULOUSLY late on my favorites like normal I decided to just get it done!

So here it is.

Top to bottom:

  • J'adore by Dior parfum
  • NYC Color Wheel Mosaic blush in 'Pink Cheek Glow'
  • Orly nail polish in 'Close Your Eyes'
  • Stila Smudge Pot in 'black'
  • Stila Kitten shadow
  • Rimmel's Lash Maxx mascara
  • Maybelline's Falsies mascara
  • LA Colors palette in 'Traditional' (this is in my giveaway)

The color that I'm loving from this palette is the second one in the second row. It's a nice light brown
color. I've been using it in either my midtone or my crease, depending on how dark I want to go.


Here are swatches of the brown and Kitten.


I'm loving using Rimmel's Lash Maxx with Maybelline's Falsies over it. My new favorite combo!
Here are the brushes.


I'm off to go carve pumpkins!


Happy Halloween fashionistas!

Short and Sweet- Sunday


Morning (or afternoon) fashionistas,

I really love how Zoella does her 'Someday Summary' of the days, would it be a total knock-off if I do Short and Sweet summaries of my days?
Let me know if the comments what you think!


Any-who.

I'm not a huge fan of Halloween (hence the lack of Halloween related posts).
It's scary and in my opinion a bit strange.
Who thought up of this crazy idea of going around to random people's houses asking for candy?
When you think of it like that, doesn't it seems odd?
Maybe it's just me.



I've had an uneventful, lazy Sunday. I woke up ate some breakfast, and now I'm watching a movie with my sister and my mom. My best friend and her family just stopped on by to drop off a 'care package' for my sister. Her family is so sweet. Also my mom's best friend's mother in law (wheeewww what a mouthful) dropped off a pumpkin pie. I do love pumpkin!

Some delicious fru-fru coffee I made this morning. (:

I'm thinking of doing my favorites for this month later today. I tried to do swatches of my ELF order, but it just wasn't working. So I'm just going to do a separate post of what I bought, minus the swatches.


Al-righty I'm going to go and takes some pictures for my favorites posts. Be on the lookout for that either today or tomorrow.

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!

A Little Haul


Hey fashionistas, today I don't have an OOTD as I was feeling a bit blah today and just settled for a very neutral outfit.
Instead I have my little haul! And what I won in the lovely Ellie's Friday Freebie a few weeks ago.
If you don't already follow her then check out her blog here.


I won the Rimmel Looks 1 2 3 mascara.
I purchased the Sleek Divine Original palette off of Ebay here.

This is the inside of the palette


Here are the swatches.




Top Row (sorry for the poor swatch/picture, it was dusk outside).


Bottom row (again sorry!)

I was so impressed with how fast the palette arrived here (only a week!) so I'm quite happy.
I haven't tried the mascara (I received both yesterday evening). Once I dork around with it I
will let you all know what I think.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends November 1st.


That's all for now.

I just wanted to thank all of your for your sweet comments and for following me. THANK YOU!
Do any of you happen to know how to fix this problem? It's starting to REALLY bother me!

What a Lovely Sunday




As I'm sitting in the office doing my makeup (best lighting) and getting ready to go to the grocery store and run some errands my mom randomly comes in and asks if instead of grocery shopping if I would want to go to a movie. So, of course I said yes! Then she called her best friend and she came with us. We saw Life as We Know It and it was really good, kind of sad at some parts. Then we wandered around downtown and we went to this really good cafe and we split this huge waffle thing with fruit, homemade whipped cream and chocolate sauce, ice cream and walnuts! It was a ton of food, and quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten! If we hadn't split it three ways I would have never been able to eat it!


Mmmm!


This is what I wore today.




Shirt: Target
Cardigan thing that's my mom's: JcPenny
Jeans: ?
Shoes: Payless
Bag: Coach
Sorry for the poor lighting and my pained expression in the second one! The sun was in my eyes.



Hope you all had a lovely day as well!
Now another Monday, oh barf! Luckily this week is a four day week and then we have a four day weekend!

I'm going to go watch some Desperate Housewives.


Ta-ta for now(:

I Need Your Suggestions on What to Buy From ELF!

Hello dears!
I am going to put in an order to ELF cosmetics and it's my first order from them and I wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions.

This is what's in my cart so far:
If any of these products didn't wow you or if another shade is better then please let me know!
And if there isn't something that you thought was amazing then tell me what it is so I can get it!


Also I decided that I'm not going to do a September favorites because one it's ridiculously late and two I didn't really use that many different products.

I Didn't Like It


Hello lovelies, I'm back with a quick post on something I didn't like. Now normally I'm not one to not like products but I really just wasn't gelling with this product.

Product: L'oreal Go Clean Deep 360 Cleanser in 'Deep Cream Cleanser'

A couple of weeks ago I was in the market for a soft cleanser and I was in the mood to try something new, I had read some good reviews about this so I wanted to give it a whirl.
I absolutely love the packaging (so cute!) and the scrublet and at first I thought I loved the cleanser. After using it for about a week or so I began to get a couple of white heads (gross I know) and I don't usually get those so, I decided to lay off the cleanser for a couple of days and they all went away (it was only like 2 or so) so I kind of forgot about the face wash. That is until a week ago... I had had a lot of mascara on so I didn't want to have to really try to get it off in the shower (normally I use Ponds cold cream before but I forgot to) so I grabbed this and used a teensy bit and the next morning I woke up with another zit. A couple days later it was a white head (eww) so the only thing I can think is that the cleanser caused them. I typically have dryer skin and like any other person it gets a bit oily throughout the day nothing abnormal. I usually use Biore' Pore Unclogging Scrub daily, St. Ives Apricot Blackhead Blemish scrub 2-3 or so times a week, I use Ponds cold cream to remove makeup and for moisturizer I use Oil of Olay Active Hydrating moisturizer.

Overall I probably won't be using this cleanser again, my sister seems to like it so she can have it. I do love the scrublet and I have been using that with my Biore face wash.

Revlon Naturally Chic Review


Hello fashionistas, here's a quick review for you.

Product:
Revlon Naturally Chic press on nails in medium length.
Application was easy, I used nail clippers to trim them down and the little file it came with to even it all out.
I really like this glue that it comes with, I feel like it lasts longer than most.
The nails themselves felt sturdy. They didn't feel like they were going to fly off.

The wear time on these was about 6 and a half days. It would have been longer but because I take pottery that really gets under them and kind of lifts them a bit.
I had a few fall off during the time I had them on but nothing too major.


The first picture is the best, the second one is not very good, I messed up a couple of fingers!


Overall ratings:
Nails: 9/10
Glue: 10/10
Application: 9/10
Wear time: 9/10

I think I might like these the most out of all the press ons I've ever had. Maybe more than my acrylics.
I believe these retail around $5-7 at drugstores.

Would I repurchase?
Yes I would, I quite enjoyed these. I've worn them twice now.
Every time I wore these people complimented me on my nails, people were really surprised that they were only press ons!
Also you can easily paint over these, I typically paint over these with darker colors because then I only need two coats to cover the white tips.


Disclaimer:
I was sent these for review by Revlon but, all opinions and reviews are my own and were not influenced by anything but my own experience with the products.

Spirit Week!

I'm back from my long pause in the blogging world!
Yesterday marked the start of Spirit Week at my high school.
Monday was PJ day.
Today was Decade day (we had the 60's), I didn't do this one.
Wednesday is Neon Color day (lame, we're neon orange). I won't be doing this one either!
Thursday is Dress Like Your Favorite Celebrity (any suggestions???)
Friday is School Pride.

Here is what I wore for PJ day. It was SO much fun, not to mention ridiculously comfy!
I forced Lily to wear our matching PJs that we had bought for our school trip last year. At the time
we had an obsession with owls (Woodsy Owl from the 70's PSAs in case you were wondering).



The PJs are from Target.
My tank top is from Kohls.
Lily wore a white tank top from New York and Company (she says that "It's really comfortable."
I wore black flip flops from Kohls .
Lily wore black flip flops from Payless.



Any suggestions for the Celebrity day for me? It'd be greatly appreciated!

Oh and do you guys think that it's too late for a September favorites?

  • Jeans: JCP
  • Shoes: Payless

Orly 'Close Your Eyes'

Sorry for slacking on the blog front... I've been busy, on Saturday my mom and I did a 5k for Breast Cancer and on Sunday we walked 10k (my mom is training for a 1/2 marathon and I just tagged along). It was such a nice day on Sunday, cool and crisp but, not cool enough for a jacket. Saturday was all rainy after the 5k but, Sunday totally made up for it!





Before I go jump in the shower and pop on some press-ons I'm going to do a quick nail post.

Application: 5/5
Chipping: 4/5
Opaqueness: 5/5

I did two coats over my Revlon white tip nails. I'll do a review tomorrow or sometime this week.






I absolutely adore this color, my new fall favorite. A purpley/red with some shimmer. Adore it, you must buy it!


Posts to happen sometime soon:
September faves
More OOTDS
Revlon nail review

Sweet dreams fashionistas!
