Let's Get Creative!

Hey girls!

So lately I've been trying to doing more variation with my posts and incorporating my YouTube videos into my posts. But I found myself kind of lacking on my nail art posts. I still do a new design on my nails every week, however I just haven't been blogging about them.
So today I have 2 nail art designs that I wanted to post about!
I love both of these and hope that you guys do too!

 

 

Products used:
- Essence Color & Go in Choose Me!
- Essence Color & Go in Space Queen
- ELF Polish in Blush
- Acrylic Black Paint
- American Painter Nail Art Brush
- China Glaze Top Coat

 

 

 

 

Products used:
- Wet n' Wild Wild Shine in Eggplant Frost
- L.A. Colors Color Craze in Grapevine
- China Glaze Top Coat
- Acrylic White Paint
- Kiko Nail Art Brush

I had a fun time doing both of these designs and love how they turned our!
Lately I've been wanting to do more creative designs on my nails and I would live to hear if you girls have an suggestions of designs that I should do next!
If you do let me know! :)

Mid-Summer Face Makeup Haul!

Hey girls!
For the past couple of days where I live, we have been having a real heat wave! For me this means alot of soaking up the sun and working on my tan! I have been getting pretty drak with all this hot weather, so I thought I needed to go get some new face products so my skin coloring looks all equal. So here are the products that I got:

- L'oreal Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion

- Wet 'n Wild Coloricon Bronzer

- NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Translucent Face Powder

- NYC Liquid Eyeliner

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you may have seen me asking about some good self tanners. Lately I have been looking into self tanners for my face and neck so that it can match the rest of my body without feeling the weight of makeup on. After doing some looking around on YouTube, I decided to pick this self tanner up. I can definately do a review or tutorial on this if you girls want!

While out, I also decided to pick up this huge Wet 'n Wild bronzer. I already like this bronzer because the color seems to match my skin really well. So I hope that it will be good!

I also picked up NYC's Liquid Eyeliner and Translucent Face Powder. These are not new items in my makeup bag, but I thought I might as well just post them in here as well! I love using this face powder because by the end of the day when my face is starting to look oily or shiny, I apply some of this mainly to my T-zone to make my face look more matte. I have been using this for a long time now, and still love it!

Have you tried any of these products before?



February Faves!

Hiii Beauties!
It's that time...

I know I say this every month, but seriously February went by sooo fast! It's crazy! I also can't believe that in 4 months I am going to be graduating from high school, now that is something crazy too!

For my favorites this month, I don't have anything too special, kind of the usual.

•  Avon Ideal Shade Concealer
• Physicians Formula Concealer
• NYC Liquid Eyeliner 

•  EOS Lipbalm
• L.A. Colors Color Craze Polish in Jewel Tone
• Wet n' Wild Wild Shine Polish in Night Prowl
  

                       
  John Frieda Lightening Spray        AG Cosmetics Conditioner

I'm sure I have mentioned all these products before, but I am still loving them!

I have also been loving this St. Ives Apricot Scrub which I have not mentioned before. I just want to say that after you scrub your face with this, it leaves your face super super soft! Once I started using this I was so suprised how great my skin felt! Defs reccomend this one!

And lastly I had to put this one in here. Its the new song by One Direction called What Makes You Beautiful. I love this song so much right now! Haha. Defs give it a listen!

 

What are your February Favorites??



 

NOTW: Sparkles at Night

Hi ladies!
I have my nail of the week here for you! When I first did my nails I didn't really like them, but the more and more that I look at them, the more I like them! Tell me what you girls think :)

You can't tell the how sparkly they actually are, but my nails are quite sparkly!

And these are the two polishes I used to create this look. I first applied the Wet n' Wild color, then used the L.A. Colors Sparkles over top!

Winter Frost Eyeshadow & NOTW & Blog Award

Hey Girls!

So I think winter is officially here! Well where I live anyways! For the past 3 days I have woke up to snow snow snow! I love the weather when you look outside and the snow has just fallen and it looks all fluffy and sparkly!

This is what I woke up to this morning! Looking outside make me want to get a nice mug of Hot Chocolate and lay in bed watching Christmas movies all day! Haha, but unfortunately I had to work all day today and wasn’t able to enjoy doing that.

However, today I was able to do a eyeshadow tutorial using my Sephora Eyeshadow that bought not to long ago. I really love this eyeshadow and the beautiful silver sparkles that are in it make me love it even more.

I used my Tickled Pink by Sephora and Chocolate by Joe Fresh. I also applied some glitter eyeliner on top of the shadows to make it even more sparkly! I did a post on it when I first purchased this eyeshadow and posted a few swatches here. Tickled Pink is a gorgeous frosty pink color with silver glitters, it isvery smooth in texture, has a shimmery finish, and blends so nicely. I absolutely love this shade paired with a darker chocolate brown color.

For my lips, I decided to go with bright red-pink lips to give the look a pop of color! I also added some shimmery gloss over to make the shadow and lips go perfectly together.

For my face

October Favs

It’s that time again. Wow October just flew by! I can't believe it’s already November. Really, this whole year has flown by. Right away it’s going to be Christmas! I hope all you girls had a wonderful October! Speaking of Christmas, today my city got snow! And not just a little snow, a lot of snow! It was definitely a surprise when I woke up to it, and I was a little disappointed that it snowed. I wish snow would come just a few days before Christmas so it would make the season exciting. 

Lol, enough babbling and onto my October favorites!

♡ Covergirl Clean Sensitive Skin Liguid Foundation; I have been using this brand of foundation for years now and I dont think I ever want to change it. It is smooth, breathable, light, and matches your skin very well! It also lasts all day, which is a must for my Schedule!

♡ Joe Fresh Eyeshadows in Ice and Chocolate; I have been loving these eyeshadows for about 3 months now, and I keep finding new shades to love. This month I have been using Ice for the shade on my lid and Chocolate for my crease and outer "V" It is a simple but cute look!

♡ Wet n' Wild Concealer; This concealer comes in second place to my liquid one, which sadly I have ran out of, so this month it has been working pretty well for me. It covers my dark circles pretty good and any other blemishes I may have at the time. All-in-all it a good concealer for a cheap price!

♡ E.L.F Total Powder Brush; This brush I have used for months, but have never mentioned it on my blog before. I really take this brush for granted. It is very soft and pickes up powder & bronzer really well. It is from E.L.F's Essential Line which means it was only $1...Super cheap and works great!!

♡ L.A. Colors Color Craze Polishes in Green Tea, Jewel Tone, and Sassy Sparkle; I have used these polishes a lot lately and love them more and more each time! I love using Sasy Sparkle as a top coat because it leaves my nails all sparkly. Jewel Tone is a purple/violet/blue sparkly polish that looks great over a black or purple painted nail. And Green Tea is a minty-turquoise color that is very unique!

♡ Avon Naturals Lip Balm; If your lips dry out, crust, and crack with the cold weather, this lip balm is for you! It is sooo moisturizing, and makes the cracks in your lips feel like they get "filled in". The grapefruit and mint flavor reminds me of the summer season while it heals the fall/winter problems of cracked lips!

♡ Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Base Coat in Nude; This is a great base coat that keeps my brittle nails from not chipping! I can say that once I have been using a good base coat, my nails have been feeling and looking stronger without chipping. It is a thicker polish which is what I look for in a base coat to really protect my nails!

Here are all my faves...what have you been loving this month!? I would love to hear them to see if we agree! :)

Love to hear from you girls!

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 :)

1. Girly & Graphic ~ ♡ ~

I got this shirt for my birthday about a month ago, and I really love the style of this shirt. The big and flowy sleeves are very comfortable and the pattern is so cute! Every time I wear this I always get a bunch of compliments!

♔  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.

Pretty n' Pink Leopard Nails

I was going to save this mani for Pink Wednesday, but I'm just going to post it today. There are a few mistakes, some stray marks, but they don't look that bad in the pictures. I had a lot of fun doing these nails, and surprisingly did not take that long to do!
