New Years Eve

Hi everyone,

If you are planning on going to a New Years Eve party, more than likely you want to dress up.  And if you are dressing up you (more than likely) have your outfit all planned. Well... here are some hair and makeup ideas to inspire you.

Planning on getting fancy for the New Year?

Best of 2014: Beauty

Hi everyone,

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.  Well... if you haven't noticed the year is almost over!  I hope everyone had a great year filled with great experiences and great people.  Although this year has been stressful for me in many ways, I did have a great time.

So let's talk about something fun...beauty products!  I thought up some of my favorite beauty products I have used this year.  (Hopefully I have all of them).  I tend to be the type of person who finds a routine or product that I like and sticks to it; meaning, I will most-likely continue using these products into next year.

• Creamy gold eyeshadows.  I have been very much into creamy gold eyeshadows this year.  The consistency is perfect for those rushed mornings, when you just want to slap something onto your eyelids and be out the door (looking good of course).
• Nude nail polish.  This has been a personal staple of mine, and it probably will be for a very long time.  Nude nails are nice, understated, classy and versatile.
• L'Oreal BB cream.  Ok I know I am probably one of the last people to try out BB cream; but I picked this one up and I love it.
• Hope in a Jar cream.  This is one of my favorite face creams of all time.  The consistency is very light and whipped.  The smell is very light and clean.  The formula works like a charm and is not greasy.  Need I say more?
• Lip-liners.  This year I have discovered the importance of lipliners. Haha
• Dusty rose lipsticks.  I finally found my go-to lipstick shades for my olive skin!  I also learned that I can never wear straight up pink lipstick.
• Clay masks.  I have always been a mint julep mask person but I have been changing it up.

What have been your go-to products this year?

I'M BACK!!

Merry Christmas everyone,

If you haven't read the name of this post...I'm back.  I have been missing in action to say the least.  I haven't had any time to blog this semester.  This semester was more than hectic, and I was more than happy to say goodbye to it!!

I'm glad to say that you will be seeing regular posts from me now; because I have some time to breathe and blog!

Halloween Makeup Inspiration

Hi everyone,

Planning on going all out for Halloween?  Need something last minute? (I understand).  If you you don't want to go out and buy a costume (if there are any left), makeup is a fun way to dress up without really "dressing up".  Also if you are dressing up makeup definitely completes the look.  Halloween makeup is a chance for you to be super-creative and crazy (without being judged for it).  Here are some inspiring makeup looks for you.

Dressing up this Halloween?

My Fall Must Haves

Hi everyone,

Fall to me is accessory time because you get to wear a variety of cute accessories to make your look, without freezing while doing it (Winter).  I know that we are well into fall already, and I have already become reacquainted with some of my favorite fall items, but I thought this would make for a nice little post.
I don't know about you but here are my fall must haves :) ....

1. A portable thermos/mug.  For tea of course! Tea is a perfect companion for a morning comment to class.
2. A beanie... for a "rather blustery day".  Also a nice scarf is nice.
3. Booties.  I bought myself a couple this season and I have been loving them.  I usually wear tall boots,  but it is good to switch it up; especially when the weather permits.
4. Leather jacket.  This is one of the top must haves for the season (and it should be it)!
5. Dark lip color.  I need must  go shopping for one.  Not too dark though! Any suggestions?

What are your fall must haves?
