Check in

Hey guys! I'm sooooooooo sorry for the lack of posts! The last two weeks have been hectic and I have found no time to post! Between school and soccer and getting ready for my huge birthday party on the 19th, I've been going non stop, and this weeks homecoming so there's a ton of festivities going on. Luckily I have a four day weekend this weekend, so I'll be posting a few posts. I'll be buying my shoes for my party! I'm so excited! My dress is almost done, and I'll be sure to post a picture when it is! It's gold and sparkly and fits so well with my Mardi Gras theme. I'm going with black heels for the shoes, and as of now I'm going stag to my own party, but I don't mind at all, I'll just party with my girls instead. My soccer team is still undefeated! I'm so excited! I only have four goals this season, but every goal counts to making your team a winning team. We all get along so well on my team and I think that's why we do so well, because we always have a great time during the games and even practice! I'm sending in to get my license tomorrow! Wish me luck! Swim season starts relatively soon and I'm not sure if I'm excited or not. I hate practices, but the high school meets are okay. I don't really have any great friends on the team because my best friends don't really play sports. I can't even imagine what I'd do with my time... Well I probably should do homework but we all know that that's not going to happen. Ha! Just kidding guys! I do my homework and my grades are decent right now except for Latin. I just don't understand the grammar concept of it all! Well I should probably get back to doing more homework! What do you guys want to see? I'll definitely have a BH Cosmetics review soon because I just got the palette!! Yay! I'll talk to you guys later!

Mini Sephora Haul

Hey guys! Today was a very rainy day, so after we sat out in the rain, we decided to head to the mall for some retail therapy before we headed back to school for the week. I decided that I would stop at Sephora, and I don't know about you guys, but I love the little sample section right in the check out area. You can usually get some really good stuff for a low price, and from previous experience, it lasts FOREVERRR, and if your someone who likes to try out tons of new products, like myself, you won't feel bad when you buy another product because there's such a little amount to use. Anyways, I got 4 different things, and spent a total of $46, and for someone who usually buys drugstore makeup, I was a little surprised. But, I got over it and I'm so excited for my new products!

All the items I purchased

BadGal Lash by Benefit- $9

They're Real! by Benefit- $10

Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose- $12

Lorac TANtalizer highlighter and matte bronzer- $12

They're Real! I like the plastic brush on this one,
it's an old favorite!

BadGal Lash, I've never tried but can't wait to!

Lorac

The bronzer seems super blendable, and I like the highlighter

I LOVE THIS COLOR, it looks so pretty on the lips

Pucker up!

Fall Trend Alert: Plum Lips

Hey Guys! Sorry for the lack of posts this week! Between school and soccer, I find that I don't have any time to get together a post for you guys! I can't even begin to think about next week when I have 5 soccer games! Anyways, my weekend is pretty free so I'm going to be getting a few posts up! Here's the first:

Because of my skin tone, I just discovered that I love the look of plum lipstick on me. I have never tried anything this dark, but I always found that light lip colors made me look dead and washed out :( I was jealous of all the beauty gurus that could pull off all those gorgeous lip colors that I couldn't! But, the other day I was at a friends house and I tried one of her plum lipsticks and I immediately fell in love! This was perfect! I found a color that looked good on me and it was perfect for the fall time! I immediately went to the store and picked up two plum colors. The third was one that had been lying around in my house. I think the reason why plums are so great for fall is because were just getting into the darker months, and wear lip colors that portray that is what it's all about.I guess fall will have to be my favorite season now that my favorite lip color is worn for it! Now here are the pictures!

Here's the first one! This one's a Revlon Lip Butter

Here's what it looks like in the packaging

I really like the look of these because they're like lip glosses but also like a lipstick and they're super moisturizing

I like this one because it's like my lips but better and is very subtle.

The color is Sugar Plum

Burt's Bees

Plum

This one is a tad darker and is has a minty feeling on your lips

... and the swatch!

MAC lipstick!

Super used up, but the name wore off so I don't know it! Sorry!

Very dramatic and dark! Would be so nice for a party!

So pretty!

Autumn Wishlist

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to give you a peak at my current wish list! My birthday is right around the corner so I thought it'd be a good time to post some of the things that I've been hoping to get. A lot of these things are more expensive, but thats because I know I'm not going to get all of them at once , or I'm going to pay for some of them. These are just a few of the things I want.

1. Hunter rain boots in Graphite. We have pretty stinky weather during the winter here so I figure that these would be helpful, and I really like the color because they'll go with a lot of things, and they almost have a bluish undertone, with add a little bit of character.

2. Nikon J3 camera. Right now, I use my Iphone 4 as a camera, so I figured this would be helpful for blog posts, and my friends and I like to have photo shoots so this would be great for that, plus you can buy interchangeable lenses for this one!

3.Black Doc Martens. These are a good staple piece for my closet, and I have a tall pair now and they're so comfortable and super sturdy.

4.Benefit Coralista blush. I've heard so much about the boxed blushes and I really want to try them, I want this specific one because I really love Coral colors and they're pretty during basically all seasons.

5. Iphone 5s. A girl can dream right?

6 Tarte Amazonia Clay 24 hr blush. No specific color for this one, I just love the packaging and want to try out the formulation.

7. Benefit They're Real! mascara. I had the travel size of this one and it lasted me for so long, and it's my favorite! Really want the full size one now!

Thanks for reading ladies!

Brand Rave: Wet N' Wild

Hello lovely ladies! My post for today is going to be what I call a "brand rave". It's going to be a series of posts where I talk about some of my favorite brands of makeup, or clothes, or basically anything. Let me know what your guys' "brand raves" are in the comments and maybe it'll be featured in the next post! Now, onto the rave! Wet N' Wild has been around as long as I can remember. In fact, it was probably one of the first brands I bought makeup from, and it continues to be an old stand by to this day, a few years later. The great thing about this brand is you get products that are super cheap but they are great quality! Some of my favorites throughout the years have been the concealer, the lip glosses for sure, and the eyeshadows. I can't wait to be able to try out all the products that Wet N' Wild has to offer. They even have a beauty ambassador program that you can check out here. All and all, it's a pretty good brand.

Some of my current favorites from the brand:

One of my favorite palettes is called Walking on Eggshells. This is a palette with three colors, one for the crease, one for the browbone, and one for your lid. My favorite from this palette is the lid color because it's said to be an exact dupe for Stila's "Kitten" shadow. This is a nice shimmery light pink color, and it stays on your lids all day. These shadows have amazing pigmentation with and without a primer. I also have the Knock On Wood palette, which is another three color palette that focus' on more of a burgundy color, so it'll be perfect for the fall time.

My next favorite is the is the Mega Liner Liquid Liner, in number 863. I find this kind of hard to use for actually lining my eyes, but what I really like this for is small decorations around the face like on the Walk Like an Egyptian tutorial, I used this liner to create dots under my lower lash line., and I will definitely be featuring it in tutorials to come!

Next up is the MegaLast lipstick. I have this one in Red Velvet, and the staying power of this stuff in amazing! The red color that I have works so well, even though I almost never wear red. It'll stay all night if you need it, and the best thing is that it it only costs $1-$2, much line everything else from this brand which is one of the many reasons why I love it so much.

Lastly, is the concealer. This stuff is absolutely amazing! I believe its $1.99 but don't hold it against me! This stuff conceals all your redness, and it has amazing staying power! It doesn't look cakey! I will go back to this again and again.


I hope you guys loved this post! Please leave me more feedback in the comments and let me know some of your favorites products from Wet N' Wild so that I can try them!
