Memorial Day!

I hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day weekend! I sure did with my family. Here's an outfit post of the outfit I wore on Memorial Day. I just took my younger cousin for lunch and to shop a little with the crazy crowds.

The entire outfit except for the tank top is from Forever 21 and VERY affordable.
Blouse: $10
Shorts: $12.80

Stripes Trend! OUTFIT & MAKEUP

I absolutely adore the stripes trend! Recently got my hands on some striped high-waisted shorts too! Today for a day just to run errands, I threw on this striped shirt with puffy sleeves and red high-waisted shorts.

Top: Cotton On ($10)
Shorts: Forever21 ($13)

(more natural lighting)

I wanted to keep the look simple, but refreshing. I wore a complete face with Trace Gold sheer tone blush by MAC as a contour with Pink Passion and Candid Coral (both) by E.L.F. (mixed together for more natural look) for my blush. For my eye look, I used Too Cool (of course from the Maybelline Color Tattoo collection, I'M OBSESSED WITH!) all over my lid, with a medium brown in my crease to keep the look light, but add depth to my eyes. The Too Cool on my lid came be a more youthful with brighter eyes look. With no eyeliner, I just added the dramatic lashes by E.L.F. For my highlight, I used a nude shimmer color. Hope you guys enjoyed this look!

Cheetah Loafers? [ REVISED 09/18/12 ]

At first, I was NOT  fan of the loafer trend, but it started to grow on me. Plus, I am a huge sucker for cheetah print shoes. I have cheetah print flats and booties already so these loafers were not necessarily needed, but they were on sale at Khols and I couldn't pass them up! Wanted to try out the look and I loved it. They gave an edge to my simple look today with just a white sleeveless button down and black dress shorts. If I were to add the flats, it would be more preppy, but I wanted a edge-y laid back look! What do you guys think of this trend?

[09/18/12]

It seems to be that animal print is here to STAY! It's a great way to throw some edge to a look or tone down a look as a neutral! I'm happy to share with you guys that TARGET is having a sale on their cheetah loafers (or tuxedo flats... as they call them!) Here is the link to the shoe (Comes in other prints and colors)! Happy shopping!

Coral Lip

Another simple Spring look! Had my last final of the semester today first thing in the morning, so of course I had to throw my hair up in a messy bun. Had an icing smokey eye look today with all shimmery colors. My favorite part of this look besides my Forever 21 scarf were the coral lips. I achieved this look with the lip pencils from ELF cosmetics. I erased my lips with a concealer and went ahead and applied the lip pencil in the color "coral." Finished the look with small dabs of clear gloss. Coral is very popular this spring and often finding the perfect lipstick is difficult. The ELF lip pencil applies well and lasts a few hours. I would recommend this product. With the affordable price of only $3, this is a great alternative to trying out new lip colors!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Kicking spring looks into high gear now! I wanted to look a bit dressy for my last day of lectures today! Dressed up my floral tank top from the Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls with a pale pink blazer from Forever21. Stacking bracelets is so popular now. Mixed pearls with some gold bangles and a neon yellow pyramid bracelet, which seemed to match my tank top perfectly! Threw in some green eyeliner to my eye look to complete the whole look. Used a glittery pink to buff out the colors with a brown in the crease and of course has Too Cool from the Color Tattoo collection by Maybelline.

Hello Kitty Nails

I'm lucky to have an aunt who has gone to beauty school. Got my nails and eyebrows done today and finally tried the Hello Kitty nails look!

Purple Please -- Open eye look ...

Here's the look from the post "Purple Please" with my eyes open and in better lighting! Hope you enjoy!

A Little Skin Won't Hurt

It's getting warmer! ... Meaning we must look tanner to show off those amazing legs and arms we've been working out! Jergens Natural Glow Foam is something I always turn to ... especially during Winter when the sun wants to hide. It's a great product for any self-tanning because laying in your backyard isn't an option or expensive tanning salons! I usually apply to my legs and stomach after moisturizing right after a nice shower! It is a moisturizer, but using your own lotion won't hurt. Apply even amounts because you don't want a crooked tan! And remember to always wash your hands afterwards, but I recommend this product to anyone who needs a self-tanner that works!

Available at all drugstores! Prices may vary.

With the Waves

A simple spring look today. Do a golden brown crease from my Warm Palette from Coastal Scents with a blue winged eyeliner. I used Clash from Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil for the winged eyeliner. I placed the blue eyeliner directly above my normal winged liner to give the eye more drama.

Pink Tease *Reposted

Reposting because somehow it got deleted. ):

I've been venturing into colors lately. I used Too Cool and Tough as Taupe from the Color Tattoo Maybelline Eyeshadow. Mixed in a Mac glittery pink to blend out the purple. Let me know what you think! Any other ideas for Spring makeup?

Edge-y OOTD

Top - H&M $13

Leggings - Ebay $10

Combat Boots - Marshalls $20

I saw these leggings on the little Kardashian sisters and knew I had to get a pair for myself! Love them! They give edge to any outfit. Since going to class today, I paired it with a long length sleeveless top from H&M! The combat boots gave it more of an edge also! Perfect for any leggings outfit! Featuring my Mac "New Temptation" lipstick to finish off the look! What was your OOTD?

I guess you get what you paid for.

Recently made some cosmetic purchases at Target and I decided to pick up this Candid Coral blush from E.L.F. It was disappointing because it’s not as pigmented as I’d like. I have to mix it with Blushbaby by MAC. It has a nice sheen to it so I can blend it up without having to use a highlight, I guess that’s the only plus to it. Wouldn’t reccomend this. Maybe it’s cause my skin color is too dark for it. I need some new bright blushes for Spring, but maybe choose from another beauty line. It was a bummer because some of the beauty gurus I like, say this blush is very nice. I’m hoping it will grow on me later.
