Hello again readers!

It's another Independence Day! The one day a year where you can blow up fireworks and not get yelled at for it! I'm really excited, we're having a family shin-dig and it will be a BLAST (almost as big of a blast as the fireworks ;) )

I went ahead and did a full face of makeup, and spiked up my hair really nice. I am loving how short my hair is! I donated it in June, and I'm still so happy with it. It's perfect for this summer heat, plus there will be a kid with new hair! 

For this look I used:

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation - Ivory

NYX HD Concealer - 02

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - 10

Rimmel London Stay Matte - Translucent

ELF Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder - St. Lucia

ELF Eyebrow Kit - Medium

Urban Decay Primer Potion 

Jordana 12 HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil - Eternal White

Wet n Wild Trio - Three's a Party

NYX Nude Matte Shadow - In the Buff

NYX Studio Liquid Eyeliner  - Electric Blue 

ELF Wet Gloss Lash and Brow Mascara

Maybelline Great Lash - Royal Blue

L'Oreal ColorRiche LaLaque - Laquq-onic

Then I did my nails too! I was really kind of trying a pattern, and then I just ended up doing whatever... It turned out okay though, fortunately for me.

Products I used:

Sinful Colors - Ruby Ruby, Snow Me White, Endless Blue

China Glaze - Crackle - Lightning Bolt 

Finger Paints - Red,White, and Hue

Sephora X - Wham!

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful 4th of July! Please be safe, and be careful with the fireworks!

Valentines' Day

Hello again readers!

This is late, but better late than never! Valentines' Day has come and gone, and once again I was all-on-my-own-y. It was actually really wonderful this year, however.

The best part? I didn't even leave my house! I didn't have a date, or plans, so instead I just dressed up to have some me-time.

Red-themed makeup for maximum impact, and it was really a great thing that my eyebrows actually ended up looking great! Though, I noticed now my one eye wasn't blended properly. Oops!

And my outfit was as on point as my eyebrows.

Blazer: Rue 21

Warm Bodies Shirt: Hot Topic

Necklace: Forever 21

Choker: DIY

Jeans: Rue 21

Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Got to wear my new shoes! I'm still breaking them in, and I may need to buy some insoles for them, but they are so gorgeous I wish I could wear them all of the time.

Mum also bought me a new blazer for V-Day, and my parents got me a really wonderful card too. :') I was really happy about it.

As for what I really did, I had myself a truly romantic movie marathon with Warm Bodies and My Bloody Valentine. Nothing screams romance like zombies and serial killers.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you had a lovely V-Day yourselves!

Merry Chrimbo!

Hello again readers!

Ah, another Christmas came, and went. So much joy, new memories, a lot of excitement (and a lot of people squished into tiny areas!) has happened this year too!

Every year, my dad makes cookies! And a /lot/ of them; chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, brownie, gooey butter, amish sugar cookies, and sugar cookies. He bakes for days, and they're always yummy! And mum makes spritz cookies and wreaths!

My favourites are brownie, gooey butter, and spritz. I love them!

For Christmas Eve, I like being casual. This year, I bought a new jumper! It has a fox on it, and I couldn't resist since foxes are my favourite animal. I put it over my Converse plaid shirt and wore skinny jeans.

I use so many products to make my look too!

-Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation - Ivory

My grandparents, and some of my other family came over for Christmas Eve. We had good food, and had a lot of fun! We exchanged presents, and they left shortly afterwards.

Then, Sarah and I got to open the gifts from my parents!

I got the cutest shooter glass set, with monochromatic skulls! Also, two pairs of skull earrings, and a new grey scarf! Mum and Dad know me so well...

I also got a bunch of boots! The top pair mum  picked up when she was out one day, and the last three I got to pick out from Charlotte Russe. I already broke in one pair, time to break in the rest!

They also got me a few movies, and a few season DVD's (SPN, Teen Wolf, and Firefly!), a tripod, and a new XBox! :D I love it already...

Then Sarah and I exchanged presents:

I GOT PACIFIC RIM! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

I was really happy with what she got me, Pacific Rim is one of my favourite movies of all time, and the Internship is such a cute movie (plus, it has Dylan O'Brien in it, double score!). She also got me this really sweet perfume from Rue21. I was eyeing it myself, but wasn't sure I was going to buy it, but she picked it up for me! How sweet is she?

Then it was Christmas day. It's always the most exhausting day of the holidays, because we have to travel quite a bit to see everyone, and then socializing... It's a lot, but it's nice.

Sarah and I are always opposites. I'm usually in black, and she's the princess of light! It's really hilarious how different we are, but similar in some ways too...

My look was dark, but simple!

-Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation

This Christmas was really fun, how was yours?

Holiday 2013 - Profusion Palettes

Hello again readers!

Oops! I accidentally posted this before I added any text. My bad!

Anyway, this Holiday season Profusion has been busy putting out a bunch of palettes, and a certain set caught my eye. Each  of these palettes, is ONE DOLLAR. Yes, you read it right, one dollar for five shades. Now, are they worth it? Hm, I wasn't sure. Now I have these swatches for you, so I hope you enjoy them!

They're all shimmers, and they are all wonderful shadows.

Each of these palettes has a numbered name, 01-04.

01:

The 01 palette is full of violets. You get a nice frosty white, a grey-toned lilac, a red violet, a blue violet, and a black, all of them shimmery. This palette is so wonderful, and you get so many uses out of it! I was impressed with the pigmentation, and that black is to die for!

02:

Palette 02 is the neutral palette, a must-have if you ask me. You get a nice champagne, a warm sand colour, a tan shimmer, a greenish-brown shimmer, and a deep brown shimmer. I kept getting blown away with these shadows.

03:

This palette isn't as versatile, but yet it's the first one I bought, for one main reason, which I will get to in just a moment. You get a warm tan, a nice brown, a lime green, a forest green, and oh yes, a navy blue! The navy blue is more than I could have ever hoped for, and it's absolutely perfect!

04:

Palette 04 is the least workable out of all of them, mostly because of how bright they are! If you love bright colours, then you need this in your life, but I'm a huge fan of darker colours and neutrals. 

You get a bright yellow, a pink, a light mint, a beautiful periwinkle, and a steal-your-breath-away cobalt blue. The colours are not disappointing in the slightest, and if you want attention, you're sure to get it with these!

These palettes have raised my standards on cheap drugstore products, I mean honestly, they're only a buck! 01, and 02 are must-haves, truly they are. They're so versitaile! I've already purchased backups, and I won't be looking back!

Sinful Colors Holiday 2013 - Unwrap Me, Pine Away, and Purple Heart

Hello again readers!

Sinful Colors have a bunch of new colours  and new collections for the holidays this year, as well as some old favorites you may have missed! 

There are five: Mirror Metallics, Glitzed and Glittered, Tinsel N'Ice, Sheer Luster Topcoats, and Based in Style.

I wasn't too wild about many of them, unfortunately, but I did pick up three.

Unwrap Me

Unwrap Me is a nail topper with red, and multi-sized black glitter in a clear base. It's from the Glitz and Glittered collection. It reminded me of Hard Candy - Masquerade, but the black glitter wasn't overwhelming. It's festive, without screaming 'Holidays!'. 

The application went well, and there wasn't any glitter lifting off the nail.

I used one coat over Wet n Wild - Teal Slowly and See

Pine Away

Pine away is a bright metallic green.  It's from the Mirror Metallics collection.

This color really screams Christmas, out of the three that I purchased. Application was fantastic, but clean up was a bit of a bummer. This polish stains if you're not careful.

I used two coats.

Purple Heart

Purple Heart is a metallic purple. It's also from the Mirror Metallics collection.

This one is absolutely gorgeous in the bottle, and it transfers perfectly onto the nail. It didn't give me any trouble, it applied well, and cleaned up well too.

I used two coats.

Happy Fourth of July!

Hello again readers~

It's Independence Day (There's still 6 minutes left!)

Thought I'd throw a few pictures together since I actually put a look together. I only wore a blue tank, my red skull scarf as a belt, and my favourite blue jeans, but it was still 'festive' enough. I only prided myself in my makeup.

It got too hot, so mum braided my hair for me! 

Eye:

E.L.F. Eyebrow Gel and Powder in Medium

Hot Topic Blush in Red

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Waves of White

NYX Liquid Eyeliner in Electric Blue

Wet n Wild Blue Eyeshadow from the I <3 Matte Palette

Benefit They're Real Mascara

E.L.F. Waterproof Mascara

It was really fun making the look, and it went well!

It was hot, I smell like gunpowder, but it was fantastic!

Thanks for reading, and happy 4th!~

HALLOWEEN

Hello again readers~

It was that time again, one of my favourite times of the year: Halloween! I love it so much, because you can be creepy, weird, and scary or whatever you choose, and it's accepted for a day~

I was lame, and picked to be a zombie again. Why mess with a good thing? Though this year was different:

                                    

The nails on this hand were my favourite...

... but this hand was for grossing my teachers and peers out, because the nail was able to be moved around without falling off:

The materials I used?: False nails, cotton, food colouring, eyeshadow, toilet paper, Elmer's glue, black lip gloss, and clear lip gloss. Looks gross, doesn't it?

Angelica wanted a picture with both of our hands, so of course we did. 

And a picture of the both of us! She was so cute, and she was the practice model for some of the face painters there. :)
