Five Makeup Dont's!

I was thinking of some of the terrible makeup mistakes I made when I was in high school. I really wish someone would have told me to just put the makeup brush down. I have tons of pictures that need to be burned. Here are a few tips on what NOT to do.

One:

Please don't over do the eyeliner. Eyeliner can be flattering and make your eyelashes fuller when its applied properly. When it is done wrong it can be a tragedy. If your going for a bold, fun look try a fun cat eye not a raccoon eye.

Two:

My first prom I remember wanting to go all out. I had a bold smokey eye and bold red lips. Looking back at the pictures everything looks so overdone. My advice: pick one or the other. Don't let your facial features be fighting each other for attention.  Christina Aguilara is gorgeous, but here her makeup is overdone.

Three:

I am very pale, and when summer begins I want to have some color. Please don't do what I did and apply bronzer all over your face. Only apply bronzer around your hairline, jawline, and under the cheekbones. Lindsey Lohan has a great complexion but here it is blotchy and orange.

Four:

Don't use shimmer around wrinkles. It makes fine lines look even more noticeable. It can make someone with perfect skin look wrinkled. I only apply shimmer in highlight form on my cheekbones. This girl has beautiful skin, but shimmer made her eyes look baggy.



Five:

Don't go crazy with eyebrows. Use a shade only a few shades darker than your hair. Follow the lines of your natural eyebrow. If the eyebrows are done right they can really bring attention to your eyes.

Outfit of the Day!

I wore this outfit when I went out with a group of friends. The hot pink tank top came from American Eagle and so did the shorts. My knit hat came from Target. The gold heart necklace came from Clair's and the cropped jacket came from Forever21.

These super cute boots came from Khol's. They are Vera Wang and I love how they make my outfits feel edgier.

Review of the Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm

I really like this product! It gave me fuller looking lips, longer lasting color, and great pigment. It is just like a marker, and it is so easy to use. It is kind of like coloring in the lines! I got mine from a drug store for $8.99. Now I have to say, as much as I love these, there is a negative side. The chap stick part of the product broke off after only two uses!! It sticks straight out and doesn't roll down. I don't know what they were thinking when they made that decision, but other than that I love it.

This is me with the color Lust on my lips. Anyway, I give this product four stars.

Natural Eye Make-up Look!

I'm going on a date tonight, and I want my eye make-up to look natural. So this is my no make-up look! It is simple and easy to do. There are only five steps! I hope it gives you some inspiration.

These are all the products I used: Elf Beauty Encyclopedia in neutral, Urban decay primer potion, eyelash curler, Maybelline eyeliner, and Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion. Everything but the primer potion is a drug store product! I'm on a college budget!

First Step:

I start of every eye make-up look by applying a very small amount of my Urban Decay primer potion all over my lids. This product keeps my make-up from creasing, makes the pigment stronger, and makes it last all night.

Second Step:

Next, I apply this taupe colored eye shadow all over my eyelids. It is very light with only a small amount of shimmer.

Third Step:

Next, I use this light, warm brown and apply it in the creases of my eyes.

Step Four:

A great tip for natural looking eyes is to use a brown eyeliner instead of a harsh black one. I'm using Maybelline unstoppable eyeliner in the color cinnabar. I line my top lid and then I line my waterline very lightly.

 Step Five:

Finally, I go over my top and bottom lashes with my Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion in black/Brown.

Outfit of the Day!

I was going for a cute and girly look so I pulled out my lace and bows!

I love my American Eagle shorts in the light wash. They can give any outfit a relaxed feel. This feminine peach top is flowy and lacey. It is perfect for a girly, romantic outfit.

I love these shoes! Bows are kind of my thing and you will be able to see it in my accessories. I got these shoes from Khole's. They are the Kelsy Taupes.

These bangle are shades of pink, purple, gold, and taupe. I got them from Iceing and they add some fun to a lot of outfits.

This headband is so pretty and femine! I got this from Iceing as well.

The Best Foundation for Your Skin Type!

1.) Oily Skin

I know how difficult it is to have oily skin. In only a few hours your make-up looks like it is going to slide right off your face. I like to use mineral powder. It gives enough coverage and it absorbs oil. It also lasts all day. The only down side is that it is messier. I'm loving L'Oreal mineral foundation.

2.) Dry Skin

Powder can sometimes emphasize flaking or dryness and I enjoy something with more coverage than tinted moisturizer. I like liquid foundation the best. Neutrogena healthy skin foundation is great for dry skin. It gives the skin a dewy glow.

3.) Combination Skin

This skin type can be tricky. You don't want dry patches to look scaly or the oily areas to be shiny. I think Revlon colorstay for combination/oily skin is perfect. Liquid covers the dry areas and it helps to control the oily ones. You can also set the oily areas with a powder.

These are all great products and they are also affordable!

Cute Polka-dot Nails!

I love a cute and easy nail tutorial! I don't have the tools or patience to do any super detailed nail design, but when I do my nails like this they always get attention. It is super easy, super cute, and it takes practically no time. I hope you enjoy it.

 First, I use my Revlon base and top coat to protect my nails.

Second, I use my light pink China Glaze nail polish in the color Exceptionally Gifted. It is a light color so I paint two coats.

Next, I take my China Glaze nail polish in the shade Spontaneous and drop a few nail polish drops on to a paper plate.

I dip the ball of this pin into the purple color and dot it all over my nails in different patterns.  

This is the final product! I use different colors to create different styles. Have fun with it!
