It's Halloween Time! ♡

Hi Girls! Its that time, Halloween!

                  
Sorry for my lack of posting this weekend. I've been very busy, I have a list of things I want to post and hopefully I will get to them ASAP! But, in the meantime, I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and ghoulish Halloween!!

I did do my nails for Halloween! I did a combo of the two nail tutorials that I did.

                       

                                


I really like how they turned out! They are super cute! I also did my mom's nails last night too cuz she thought they were so cute!

For the purple I used Wet n' Wild Polish in Eggplant and applied L.A. Colors Polish in Jewel Tone for the beautiful sparkles! 

                                 

Sadly, last night while I was sleeping, my middle finger nail chipped and broke off so now I have one really short nail
:(    Sucks, but oh well haha.

I thought, being Halloween and all, I would show you girls another scary sight:
Naked Nails!
                               


                               


These are my nails with absolutely nothing on them. Let’s just say they look way better with polish on! Haha.

Today for school, I dress up in my costume as a nerd/ dork. I had the plad shirt with braided pinktails, bows in my hair, and big glasses that were taped. It was fun :)

What are you being for Halloween?? Have a safe night! Dont get too scared mwhahaah :)

OOTD & NOTW ♡

Hey Beauties! ♡ 
Today was just a beautiful fall day! Warm wind, sunny skies, what more could I ask for from fall weather? Look at this picture! So pretty right? It was taken of some beautiful fall trees from a house on my street!


To add to the beautiful day, today I have a outfit of the day and my nail art for the week for you girls! Lets get right into it!
First: OOTD
This is a look perfect for fall! I am wearing a long dress coat with a short pencil skirt, black tights, and black boot-heels. I love this outfit look, especially when colors get mixed! With my hair, all I did was French Braid it when damp, and left if over night. In the morning I took the braids out and it left me with wonderful waves! I do this with my hair all the time. It is way better for your hair than using heat on it all the time! For tips on healthy hair check out my post: http://simplychicxox.blogspot.com/2011/09/tips-for-healthy-hair.html

Some more pictures...


What is your favorite fall outfit or accessory?

Now to my NOTW:

I am really loving the design on my nails this time. I have got a lot of compliments on them, and so many people thought they were gel nails! Haha, but they are not. My nails have grown so much, and they are now supppeeerrr long! Its really crazy for me to look at them in pictures and think "wow those are actually my real nails!"



I used L.A Colors Nail Craze Polish in Green Tea for the green side swipes on my nail, I used just a basic black polish and a dotting tool to make the dots, and I used L.A. Colors Nail Craze Polish in Sassy Sparkle as a top coat, but also to add crazy sparkles to me nails!

I also have to mention, and I am super excited to say this, that on Saturday night The Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour by Cirque Du Soleil! I have always loved Cirque Du Soleil and Michael Jackson, and now that they are doing a tour together is just amazing! I cant wait to go! :)

Haha, Anyways, tell me what your favorite fall outfit or accessory is! :)

Eyeshadow Tutorial & Blog Award ♡

Hi Girlies!
Tonight I have made for you an eyeshadow tutorial video! Last week I was playing around with my makeup and wanted to do a colorful look that can also be used for Halloween. Nothing that was too crazy, not a lot of colors but something easy to create. I used Rimmel's eyeshadows which are pretty pigmented and they have a lot of fun colors.
 
The pink color has a very smooth in texture and a satin finish, and blends so nicely. I absolutely love this shade paired with either a lighter or a darker color. 

When I filmed this tutorial it was right after I came home from work, and I wasn't in the mood to take off all my eye makeup and then re-due it for the tutorial lol! But you get the idea from the video :)
And to the video:


As always, here is the link just in case :)

I also was awarded another blog award from my good friend Ariel! Her blog is chiclookxo.blogspot.com Definitely check her out, and thanks Ariel!

  Pants: Lululemon Athletica, $98
  Boots: Dawgs, $60



2. Tribal & Trendy

This is another shirt that I got for my birthday, and really love this shirt as well! I have been obsessed with tribal prints lately so when I found this shirt I fell in love haha. I love how there are little tassels at the bottom of this shirt, it really gives it a unique look. The fabric on this shirt is also sooo nice! Its thin, but soft...haha I cant even explain it! But it is wonderful!

This cute blazer is what I have been wearing lately outside. The weather is now getting colder so this is a perfect time to wear it. I also love wearing this with a scarf, it makes the look a bit more dressy. It is a very comfortable blazer and I love wearing it.

Cute Owl Fall Nail Art

Today I have an adorable owl design --- perfect for Autumn! This is a cute owl design inspired by Cute Polish on Youtube. Her owl did turn out better than mine, lol. I couldn't find my dotting tool until after I finished my owl.
The color I used for the background of my nails, and for the owl was Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet. The white color I used is from the same line in the color White Creme. The dark brown color I used is a Joe Fresh polish in Espresso. 

Owls and feathers are my current obsessions, and doing this nail art made me fall even more in love with them! And I am sure I will be doing this design again, but with a proper dotting tool, haha. 

What are your current fall obsessions?
I am thinking that I am going to do a makeup tutorial video! What would you girls like to see me do? My everyday mascara? Everyday Eyeshadow? Got an idea let me know! I am open to ideas :)



I have recently made a Facebook page for my blog, please like it and show your support!
Thanks to everyone who have been commenting, your comments mean soooo much to me! :)

Now to the movie:


 

If this video doesn't work, here is the link:
(sorry my hair kept getting in the way haha)

The things that I did change were the color of the spider, I changed the color to black which made it look better. It is also my first video I created, so it is not perfect! Haha, but I hope as I do more they will get better :)
I would love to hear what you girls think of my video and if you got any ideas for other Halloween designs let me know :)

Tag You're It!

Heyy Girls! Here is a fun tag that I got from http://barbieblondegirl.blogspot.com/
Now for some fun :)

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascara's, eyeliners, lipsticks and lipglosses or all of your eyeshadow and pallettes?

 I would rather lose my eyeshadow and palettes. I rely on my mascaras and eyeliners! I can live without eyeshadows, but mascaras, eyeliners, and lipglosses I cannot live without.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never cut your hair again?
 
I would never cut my hair again rather then shave it all off! My hair would become extremely dead, but at least I would have hair! haha
 
3.would you rather have a coral cheek or pink cheek?
 
Pink! I think that it is a flirty cute color. :)

4.If you had $1000 would you rather buy clothes or make up?
 
Clothes! This may come as a surprise, but I have enough makeup that could last me a while. Whereas girls can never have enough clothes!

5.Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
 
Eyeliner as lipstick I guess. That would be awkward.....haha

 6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
 
Sephora! They have more brands then MAC and most likely more variety of makeup items.

7.Would you rather use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the reast of your life?

Belly Button Piercing & Facebook Page Thoughts :)

Hey Girls, guess what I got done today?? Lol, well I guess the title says it, but I got my belly button pierced! 

I am in my pjs, they are not very attractive haha (Im getting new ones soon don't worry! :p). Let me tell you, my piercing hurt so much! I heard from friends that it didn't hurt that much, but it hurt a lot for me! One scary thing that did happen was I just about fainted! While me, my mom, and my sister were paying and going over after care, I began to see white spots and felt like I was going to fall over. But I do feel better now, and so does my belly button!

I was wondering, how many of you girls have your navels pierced? And what is your biggest fear? 
I know mine is needles...anyone else?

I am also thinking about making a Facebook page. What are your thoughts about that? Would you (like) my page?

Electrified Water Marble Nail Design


This mani comes a day early for Pink Wednesday, but I'm going to post it today. There are a few mistakes, some stray marks, but they don't look that bad in these pictures. I had a lot of fun doing these nails, and surprisingly did not take that long to do! I used the water marbling technique. If you are not familiar with this technique, go onto Youtube and search water marble nail art, and you will find alot of videos on it. 

September Favorites

It's that time of month again, favorites time! Fall has been here for almost 2 weeks, and where I live the weather has begun to change. Cooler winds, shorter day, mildly hot day, and even cooler nights. Sooner than later its going to be Christmas! These September Favorites are not all that exciting, but here they are:
 
 
Garnier Fructis Deep Repair Hair Mask: With the changing of seasons, my hair is also feeling the change! The weather has been making it start to feel dry and brittle. The Garnier Fructis Deep Repair Hair Mask is awesome for moisturizing my hair. I use it 1 - 2 times a week, and I can see a difference after every use! It makes my hair easier to comb through after my shower, and silk feeling as well. I recommend this product if your hair gets dry or is damaged, it really works! :)

Fall Wishlist ♡

I have never done a wishlist post before, but I have some things in mind that I wanted so I figured I'd share my top 10 things with you guys! Make sure to look at all of them! Some are really good!   ^.^

1.  Chanel Earrings . I absolutely love these earrings! I want them soo badly! Lol. I am planning on getting them soon, just got to save up a few more dollars and they will be mine! Can't wait :)

2.  Rose Russo by Chickaboom (chichaboom.ca) 15 PRO Eyeshadow Palette. Some of you may be familiar with a wonderful guru on youtube Rose Russo. She is known on youtube as rosebud143. Definitely check out her page! The eyeshadow palette she created is this one, the 15 PRO palette. The colors are gorgeous, I want one soo bad!

3. Jemma Kidd's eye shadow in Urban. This yellow-gold eyeshadow is such a wonderful color. I am currently obsessed with gold eyeshadows, so I would love this one!

4. MAC paint pot Rubenesque.  This is a warm bronze tone that also looks like a dual-tone color. This color is would also be perfect color for Fall because of the warm bronze color. The swatches make the color look amazing!

5. Boot Wedges. The picture above shows the boots that I want. Omg, I cannot explain how bad I want boots like these! They seem to be super popular right now, I see everyone with them. These are going to be the next boots I buy, because they are sooo gorgeous!!
