FOTD

Vee you grainy little blob, you~

Today's look consisted of  matte taupe and brown eye shadow with winged out eyeliner. I wanted to do something different yet a bit simple for work. So this is what I did. Yep! I didnt do anything to my hair and went in with a bed head, but I woke up with a subtle bed head so all was well.

I used most of my new stuff I got from ELF which Ill show you guys once I get my other package! Yes, I went a little ELF crazy *slap on the wrist* but its so hard not to since they always have sales! I think my favorite product has to be the eye brow kit. It does wonder for my sparse brows.

FOTD & OOTD

My morning started off as does every morning in which I dont work. A slow, boring, long, morning until I find something to do. I woke up and turned on my laptop and decided to listen to some music via spotify, if you havnt tried it, you definitely should! Its great! It was a Civil Wars kind of morning. I looked in the mirror and saw that my hair was a huge mess and well frankly I did not feel like showering, so I straightened my hair. Im rather odd and instead of leaving my hair natural when Im feeling low maintenance, I straiten it. Ha! So I straightend it and teased it just a tad. Then I moved on to my makeup. I didnt feel like blending and busting out a ton of stuff, so all I did was prime my eyes, and just put a matte brown shadow on my outer lid to give it some definition and then lined it heavily with a gell eye liner. I applied mascara, a mineral finishing powder,  blush and then a coral lip tint. Simple. Easy. I was feeling extremely lazy that day.

Products used:


Eyes
E.L.F Miniral Primer in sheer
Brown shade in Avon Quad "sandy corals"
E.L.F cream eye liner in Black
Lancome Definicils mascara in Black


Lips
Covergirl lipstain in 435

Recently I have found myself shopping at my job, which is weird because honestly, I dont really like the clothes there. I love the jeans and accessories but its very rare that Ill find a top that I like. But I found one and them some which I will post about another time in a little haul. But anyways, I found this really cute black crop top shirt with 3/4 sleeves. And it has been settled that I am in love with 3/4 sleeves right? Right? I saw it when we put out the freight and I just had to get it! I literally went the next day and bought it before it would get snatched up.

Its a bit thick, so I think Im going to find myself wearing it more during the fall. But ugh I just love it. I wore it with some shorts, and my knock off TOMS which I also got at my job. I have some real TOMS but these where only ten dollar with my discount and they're extremely convincing so I was like eh! What the hell! And bought them. (I added the studs, they dont come with them). 


Yes yes, that was my day/morning. I just ordered some Urban Decay goodies and I ordered some E.L.F stuff yesterday which I will definitely haul once I get them! I will also make a post about all the stuff I bought from my job today!

Thanks for reading! :)

Nails of the Week!

This week I decided to be adventurous and to try out a color which I never thought I would wear. I tend to stick to the color spectrum for medium toned skin with yellow undertones. But as stated before, I decided to venture yonder the color spectrum and try a color I always thought would look weird on me.

(excuse my chipped nails! I forgot to put a top coat on!)

The color is called Boogie Nights from the Sinful Colors brand which I love (1.99 at Walgreens) and its a coral. The reason I had stayed away from corals in the past was because I always thought that orange looked odd on me. Kinda thought it made me look darker. But I decided to give it a go since this a go since I noticed this was more of a pinky coral, than a coral leaning more toward the orange side. I really like this, and it does make my hands look a tad darker, but I guess thats just unavoidable. But this is still wearable for a medium skin toned person and I really like it! :)

LUSH Cupcake Fresh Face Mask Review!

This is a review on my recent LUSH purchase, which is a fresh face mask. These do have expiration dates with a shelf life of oh, approximately three weeks, and you do have to keep them refrigerated. And I just think the refrigeration process adds to how amazing these are because of the cool sensation you get while applying these.


"To calm breakouts, this Rhassoul mud cleans and soothes, while cocoa butter, linseed, and cocoa powder softens the skin. Balancing peppermint, spear mint, and sandal wood oils complete the effective deep cleansing experience"


That is the description on the pot. So it obviously smells chocolaty since it does have a lot of cocoa products in it but you also get a whif of the mintyness in it. The scent is rather strong, but I did not mind it at all while my boyfriend found it unbearable. I just want to say how much this mask has helped my skin stay clear. I am very prone to stress caused acne as I suffer from anxiety and stress over the most mundane of things. I would get them a lot on my forehead, neck line, and around my hairline, but since I started using this mask my pimples have reduced and my skin feels less oily. I cant help but give full credit to LUSH since I havnt used any other acne clearing face products besides this one. I got around 9 uses out of this, it is a 2.1oz pot, and as stated before has a shelf life of three weeks. And for 5.95 a pot, its not a bad deal. Plus if you bring back five empty pots you get a free Fresh Face Mask of your choice. Pretty spiffy eh?


I really recommend this for people with oily and acne prone skin obviously. This doesnt really have any grainy particles in it so if you like your Face Masks to have a srub in it, I would maybe try something else like Love Lettuce or Brazened Honey. All in all, I love this and will definitely be repurchasing soon.

Ps. My cellphone did not come in today and I am extremely disappointed as I was really excited to get it. So much for overnight shipping!!

Forever 21 Haul

Last week, I had gotten paid and literally stared at my check, wondering what to do with it. I mean, I had paid all of my bills, set some apart and put it in my savings account, but I still had a lot of money left over which I didnt know how to spend or what to spend it on. Then I remember that I had been wanting to shop at Forever 21 I decided to hop onto the website as I prefer that than to going to the actual store.

I love Forever 21 and all the stuff they have to offer at cheap prices, but I hate how big the store is. I feel like its way too over whelming and I never know when to start and I usually end up wasting an hour or so of my life and only get a few accessories. My boyfriend could vouch for me on that. So I opted for the website and ordered a few stuff online.

F21 Jewelry, all $1.50

I got a few pieces of silver jewelry because I was starting to feel like gold was taking over and I dont even really like gold to begin with. I wanted to used the free shipping F21 offers on orders over 50 bucks, but I didnt have enough in my cart and I didnt really want anything else, clothing wise so I opted for a little handfull of the cheapest jewelry they have. :P I got some mustache earrings, which I cant even wear (I have stretched ears, but I just thought these where too cute to pass up). A little necklace with a camera on it, because as a photographer, you can never have too many camera inspired accessories. A necklace with a feather on it and  lastly a black horn necklace rimmed with rhinestones which I just thought was cute.

Next is nothing too special, just some basic 3/4 sleeve (I love 3/4 sleeves D:) crop tops, but they're not like super cropped which I like. I got these in a medium and they where $7.90. I just thought they would like nice tucked into a skirt, or maybe just with some shorts and my TOMS, Im a very simple girl. 

And this is probably the cutest shirt I own now, its a kitty cat with some blue shinny glasses on! Too cute! And it also a 3/4 sleeve shirt! I simple could not pass this grab up. I got this shirt in a medium also, and it was 12.90. I ordered a size up because Ive gained a bit of weight and I have a slight muffin top going on which I dont like to show off. :P


And I saved the best for last.

ISNT THIS THE COOLEST BAG EVER OMG?!
I saw it and fell in love instantaneously. My boyfriend had told me he saw a bag with a camera on it, knowing my love for camera inspired things. So I decided to scope the mens section and found it and I didnt even think twice about getting it. Its big and roomy, maybe a bit too big but Im sure I can manage.


So thats all I got from F21!


And here is just a small tid bit that I would like to share with you all...

This phone, pictured above is my new cell phone. I ordered it online yesterday and I got overnight shipping so it should be coming in tomorrow! Excitement! This is my first "cool" phone since my first phone was just a crappy standard messaging phone. My original plan was to get an iphone, but I dont feel like my job is stable enough to keep up with the expenses of an iphone so I opted for this one instead. I quiet like it.


I will probably make another post tomorrow when it arrives and now maybe I can make OOTD posts since I have something to take mirror shots with.


Tomorrow I should be going to the college Im attending and get everything settled since school starts in about three weeks. So We'll see how that goes, other then that Im sorry I havnt been posting, but I had been super busy with work until this week. I hope you all have a wonderful week and thanks for reading!
