FOTD

I woke up today around 12pm after coming home from the beach at 3am. I was so exhauested and did not feel like going to work at all. I was so tempted to call in but decided to just go since it was only four hours and I needed all the hours I could get. And since I was feeling so lazy my makeup was super simple and natural today beside the exception of my winged eyeliner. Although I did do my winged eyeliner, but I do that every day. It is a must in my makeup routine. I primed my face after washing it then concealed my dark circles then applied my foundation setting the under eye area with the E.L.F concealer mineral powder, then primed my eye lids. I used Sidecar from my Naked palette all over my lid, with buck in the crease, and then put virgin on the center of my lid and also on my tear duct. I applied mascara and then smiled and applied my favorite blush, Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed. 

Products used:
Urban Decay Naked Pallet: Virgin, sidecar, and buck
L'oreal Voluminous million lashes
Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer in Medium
E.L.F concealer finishing powder in Warm

OOTD - What the hell am I doing edition.

Seriously... what the hell am I doing with my face?

Anyways, I am proud to say that this whole outfit was under thirty dollars. Crazy right? I personally pride myself in being a bargain hunter. I am in no way ashamed of admitting that I buy at resale shops, thrift stores, or discount stores. Not saying that I am anti-name-brand-things-and-stuff but I was just raised in a home where having name brand and expensive things was just not a priority.

I got the rose blush colored cardigan at a discount store called Fallas Paredes for 7.99, the white tank top I also got there which I love. Its loose and light weight, and yeah. I just love loose tank tops. That was only 1.99, my jean short-shorts are from my job, Melrose, and although I dont typically like the clothes at my job these shorts where on sale after last season summer. All the shorts where on sale for two shorts for five dollars. BARGAIN! so I bought a ton and saved them for the summer so Im starting to wear them now. My shoes are from Forever 21 and they where on sale for fifteen dollars. Which you cant see what they look like but they are oxfords and everyone pretty much knows what they look like.

I also went to the zoo today :)

Elephants. Vee approved.

I hadnt been to the Houston Zoo in a long time and it felt real nice to go again. I felt like a kid. Traffic was a nightmare, and it was packed but in the end it was totally worth it.

Things I plan on blogging about

• How I maintain my red hair (which I will do when I re-dye my roots)
• a collective haul of everything Ive bought during my absence (beauty, and clothes)
• more week in photos
• more OOTD & MOTD

Im back.

Im back. But for how long? I'll let you know this, I'll start posting again starting Wednesday which will be March 14. I decided to stop blogging, also temporarily quitting tumblr, to focus on my schooling to find out that my life is boring and the only way I can make it seem interesting is to blog about it. That way others might think that my life is actually fun.
Things that have happened while I was gone.

I dyed my hair red...

Read The Fault In Our Stars and got a personalized signed copy courtesy of a friend.

I also bought a banjo...

Nothing too interesting but at least now I feel a bit cooler. No one seems to like listening to me ramble about the things I bought or the things I did beside my small following on here. You guys make me feel better. So I shall start up my blog, Leindiewolf again, and also if you would like to follow me on Twitter feel free to do so @wolftoast

before summer ends

If there is one summer trend that I absolutely loved this season, its coral lips!!

Images from google

They're just so different and bright! And just out there ya know? I loved them, but I was always self conscience about how an coral shade would look on me. I am of a medium skin tone, and Im pretty sure Ive addressed my fear of corals in a previous post. My Coral Nails post. Yes, coral/orange/yellow does not look good on me! I feel like it makes me look too dark. But anyways, I have slowly been wandering into the coral spectrum and it started with my nails, and then I wore a coral top (which I got tons of compliments on) and now, on to lipstick!! I just couldn't let the summer go by without at least trying it once.

I went to my mom's friend (who is also an Avon representative) and ordered a coral lipstick which is pictured above. While initially opening it I was heart broken to see that it was slightly melted and breaking off. I quickly popped it into the fridge to fix it. After an hour or so I got it out and decided to test it out. The results shocked me...

I loved it!!! Its not as orange as I thought, since it is a bit sheer the natural pink hue of my lips showed trough which gives off a very pinky coral shade which I really like. Definitely my new favorite lipstick! Sorry Blushing Brunette! This lipstick goes on so smoothly it almost feels like a lipbalm which makes me love it more. This is my first moisture seduction lipstick (I always buy the regular formula) and well, I really like it better than the regular formula.

my week in photos.

I decided to start this little project to showcase a bit of my camera work and also to just keep this a fluent blog. So if anything, each week you will receive a post similar this. This week consisted of my revving up my old film camera. I decided to finally go out and shoot, thought I havnt gone out yet, it is in my plans to do so. Ive been drinking coffee like a mad man and I love to drink it out of my Nikon lens coffee mug, I get a lot of compliments on it when I take it to school and it just makes me feel all neat and artsy. I bought some instant iced latte packs. You just pour in your cold milk and the little packet and voila! and instant iced latte! I love the hazelnut flavor the best. One thing that really calms my nerves is taking pictures of flowers. Especially pink ones. There is just something about pink flowers that soothes me. What soothes you on a nerve wrecking day?
