My favorite eyeshadow of the moment!

I've been searching high and low for my camera cord that connects my camera to my computer and now I can't get any of the pictures off of it without it! I have noooooo clue where it could be but I'll look when I get home later on today - I'm at school now, I have a 2 hour gap between classes so looks like this will be when I'm blogging/editing my videos! Now I have a specific time when I have time to do this - that's pretty cool!

So I guess I'll just do a post of one of my favorite eyeshadows I've been wearing lately (I have pre saved photographs, which come in handy in times like these!)

Introducing...Bare Minerals Eyeshadow in Flaunt!

This eyeshadow is only available in the kit "Intro to eyes", but it is SUCH a gorgeous all over the lid shadow. It's great for those days when you don't want to wear makeup, but still want to look alive and those days when you woke up late and need something to throw on really quickly.

This eyeshadow is my go to eyeshadow for those days exactly. Lately, on my days off or if I'm just going to run an errand or don't really feel like doing any makeup (which is quite often nowadays) I love just throwing this on with my MAC 217 because it packs on the color and does the blending all in one. So onto the swatches & I also took some pictures with it on as well. OH another tip, I like to do a little bit of a wing with this eyeshadow just to give it some flare. haha






It's very natural and a bit more noticeable in real life but go check it out, trust me you'll love it!

What are some of your favorite quick all over the lid shadows?

Thanks for reading <3

Outdoor shopping

I tweeted this picture earlier and thought I'd do a short post on why I love outdoor shopping, so random I know. Today we had dinner and went shopping at the Americana. Don't get me wrong I love shopping anywhere and I love malls because there obviously are going to be more stores in one area.

I love outdoor shopping because it seems so more luxurious and relaxing. I love just taking a stroll and popping into a store that you want to browse in. This particular place was my first time there and the scenery was so gorgeous. The apartments above cost a fortune but I would die to live in one. The thought of being able to go downstairs in the morning to grab coffee or just go shopping seems like complete bliss. I love the city and the way everything is. I live in an area where you have to drive everywhere, haha.

I would much rather go shopping outside than inside but you can't have both combined unless you want to be walking for days to go to all your fav shops so once in awhile I like to go outdoors, this one had a forever 21 and H&M!


Have a good night, and happy shopping!

So exhausted

I am sooooooooo tired, we were at Disneyland ALL day from when they opened until about 11 o'clock. Lots of eating junk food, shopping, and most importantly of all the rides! But I am way too tired to upload the photos from my camera and then onto here so I will get those up as soon as I can!

Bought lots of goodies and last night as I was laying in bed going to edit about 4 videos I had pre recorded, I had imported them to mp4 when they have to be mp3 (I'm not too big of a tech junkie) so I have to figure out how to fix that because they were a couple videos I was excited about and I hope I can recover them!


Anyways, sorry for the short post, have a great night!

Day 1 in LA!

Today was our relaxing day where we just walked around and went shopping, which I totally don't mind! :D

I love Tinkerbell and all of the disney princesses :]


They also changed the "CALIFORNIA" letters, so pretty!


We also watched this show called Splash Animals. They have you guess the animal they are painting while dancing - it was really cool!





And then as we were walking back we saw some fireworks! I love fireworks and can't wait to see the whole show tomorrow.


ANDDDDDDD quick outfit of the day, when I travel I wear the top I'm going to wear for the day and I wore some sweats instead of my jeans earlier, OH and this is my hat that I loveeeeeee that I have been trying to find and found at a random kiosk.



I will be trying to record as much as I can for a video tomorrow and taking lots of pictures! Subscribe to my blog for all my updates and randomness.


Thank you sooo much for taking the time to read!
Hugs & Kisses from the happiest place on earth!

To buy or not to buy...

That is the question. I have a shoedazzle account and every time the month comes around to pick a shoe - I don't like any of them! It seems like everyone who has shoedazzle gets really cute shoes, where's mine at?!

Anyways, I had them pick out more shoes and these are actually cute! I've never seen shoes like this before but I don't know if ill really wear them.


What do you think? Should I get them?

My latest obsession





I absolutely love this quad! I have the mystic eyes quad as well and I like that quad for a darker more dramatic look (it's not as dark as I'm making it sound haha) but this quad in dunes is what I've been wearing lately. It's very natural that "wearing makeup without looking like you're wearing makeup". It's gorgeous! Everyone talks about the mystic eyes quad but I absolutely love this one for days you don't want to wear much makeup but still want to look glammed up.

I want to try more chanel quads, I love the quality of the eyeshadows and of course the packaging!

Review: Wallflowers

This stuff is amazing! My sister gave this to me as part of my birthday present and I love it! You can find this at bath and body works and she knew I love pink so she got me a pink wallflower! Its so cute for the wall and not a typical boring plug in fragrance. Sweet pea is my all time favorite scent from bath and body works and she also got cherry blossom which is also a favorite of mine.

I plugged it and didn't expect to smell it right away but man! This stuff definitely works! I love being able to walk into my room and smell the sweet pea! A side note I left the fan on in my room and later that day I could smell the scent throughout the house!

My sister raved about this and got one for me - I would say this a must have! Good for the bathroom too :)

I highly recommend!

Blazers!

I've never known if I could pull off a blazer or not but I absolutely love the look and what they can do to an outfit. I've always used cardigans the way people use blazers - as a cover up or to accentuate an outfit. Well I was on a hunt for a cute blazer that didn't cost too much because I'm not even sure if ill ever wear it!

I saw target had one for 30 dollars and was about to get that one when I stopped into H&M and saw this one for just 5 more dollars. I got it right then because I saw other ones for 80 and above!

Maybe ill do a blogpost or video on different ways to style it? I'm not too sure because I have no idea when ill wear it I just new I had to have one so when I do want to wear it ill have it.

Get naked with neutrals!

...and some other goodies from sephora!







Words cannot express just HOW MUCH I love this palette! I will do a further review on the palette along with tutorials and pictures different looks and such. But anyways, when I saw that Urban Decay was coming out with a neutral palette I knew I had to pick one of these babies up. And as I have heard through the grapevine that this palette is going to be part of their permanent palette collection. I absolutely love neutrals and urban decay eyeshadows so this is a perfect match for me! Urban decay eyeshadows are eyeshadows I've always loved they're so soft and creamy easy to blend out and they have the perfect amount of shimmer in them. Although some eyeshadows do tend to have fallout it's worth the hassel.

Another thing I love about this palette is it's a lot smaller than the book of shadows. I loveee my book of shadows I have the volume 2 and the alice and wonderland palette - those are a must get when they come out as well. I take my book of shadows with me traveling everytime and it's a palette I use on a daily basis. The naked palette is so much easier to travel and carry and it has all the shadows you need for a light look, everyday look, even a night out look! It's amazinggggggggggg. Anyways, this is a haul/review - I also got a nail polish from sephora brand called teeny bikini and of course it's that minty green color my favorite! I also picked up a product called lip last in their sale section and it's supposed to make your lip color stay on longer - we'll see about that!

Anyways, that's all I have for you today. Have a great night!

Maybelline Define a Brow - Gone so quick?!



It might be my imagination (and I'm regretting not showing my haul on this product), but I thought I bought my Maybelline Define A Brow not too long ago - possibly a month ago? And I JUST ran out yesterday and freaked out and ran to target to get another one. Now I don't really mind because it's my all time favorite brow product EVER and it only costs 5 or 6 dollars, but I feel it should last longer than a month? I do use it everyday but still! Has anyone else had this problem with it running out so fast? Or maybe I just use my too much or I have no idea!

Anyways, we shall see when we buy the next one because now I have it documented on when I got the last one!

I think I can I think I can..


I think I can, I think I can..

August today (well technically I guess it's the second now - my sleeping day I guess haha) last month I had the goal of blogging at least once a day, which I got half way there! I think? I'm too lazy to check but I think around 14 posts last month? For me, that's pretty good! So let's see if we can keep this up - a lot exciting videos coming up (HOPEFULLY - I always say that right? hahaha) because at the end of this month OMG DID NOT REALIZE I HAVE TO GO BACK TO SCOHOL AT THE END OF THIS MONTH NOOOOOOOOOO! is back to school aka fashion and makeup and any other randomness I come up with.


OH, and if you have requests leave them below and I'll be sure to get to them asap!

So be sure to subscribe to my blog for my updates! I promise they won't all be randomness, beauty & fashion related too - just not everyday. I like to do recaps of the day of just vlog but on a blog? so would it just be blog? but then idk ahah so confused anyways..... please follow/subscribe!

August already?!



It's so crazy how fast this year if flying by! I know I know I say that every month "I can't believe a month has passed already" but really?! August?! Seems just like yesterday I was celebrating the new year! Craazzzzzyyyyyy! So much has happened this year it's insane.


But I'm okay with it being august because, this friday (august 6th) is my BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Feels like I haven't had a birthday in a couple years which is impossible but feels like it! Not doing too much for my birthday, but I am going on a trip next week! So excited to have a mini vacation, haven't had time off in what feels like months, I will film my August favorites probably tomorrow because I am so pooped if you follow me on twitter (which you should) click me! - I have been productive and re arranged all my furniture in my room! I am slowly starting to re-do my room (refer to a previous post about my room ) my room has pretty much been the same all my life and I wanted a change so I'm doing piece by piece! I will update here like if I get any new furniture or what I'm changing, I'm so excited! It'll probably be a long process though because I can't go out and buy everything all at once, but in the end it'll be worth it!


Anyways, talk to you guys later!

xoxo
