Holiday Makeup: Products used

Thanksgiving Holiday Make Up

I did this for Thanksgiving, but it can of course be used for any other holiday or even every day!

So this is a terribly late blog entry, but I figure I should put it up late rather than never.

This look was very easy and fun for me to do. 

I made it up while I was doing it, so please excuse the few mistakes! 

So here are the items I used:

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Medium Beige

BareMinerals Powder in Medium Beige to set the foundation

Maybelline FIT me! powder in Honey Beige as a contour

Maybelline Eyeshadow in Linen as highlight

Bare Minerals blush in Intrigue

ELF Eyebrow Kit in Medium

ELF Eyelid Primer

NYX jumbo pencil in Pure Gold

Lancome Color Design Palette in Bronze Amour 

(complete review w/ swatches coming soon) 

Sephora Eyeliner in Black

The Eye Brushes

Thanks for reading!

Nail Diary November/December

Hello everyone.

It has been awhile, but now that the semester is coming to a close I am hoping I can get everything up to date.

As an easy way to get out of studying I decided to upload all the photos of nail polish looks I had in my phone. 

This one is one I did with two color. The L'Oreal polish I am holding and a NYX black glitter. 

I got the NYX black glitter at Urban Outfitters, however it was on clearance so I am unsure if it is still available. 

The L'Oreal polish was part of their fashion week collection I believe. (I will add the name as soon as I am home)

This is a blurry picture of a more difficult look. 

You have to cut triangles out of scotch tape and apply to a COMPLETELY dry under color. 

Then paint over with desired color. 

Additionally, you must remove the scotch tape very very slowly. 

I got this idea from Pinterest

This is just a simple single nail polish look using Nicole by OPI in It Starts With Me. 

This color is an absolutely gorgeous rose gold color. It is definitely one of my favorites.

I think it can be used year round. 

(somehow my nails got bumpy IDK how that happened)

This one has got to be my favorite holiday inspired look!!! I used three nail polishes Revlon Cherry Pop, Revlon Top Speed Glitz & Glam and a Sinful Colors silver glitter. 

Everytime I say glitz and glam I think glitzyglam, like Elle & Blair. Maybe that's just me! =]

I tried to put the silver glitter on the part closest to my nail and the Revlon glitter toward the tips. 

Now this next one is one I am a tad bit embarrassed about.

I attempted to copy this look by BubzBeauty

But I did not achieve it very well as I have rather short nails, whereas Bubz has very long, square nails. 

I used a Revlon white polish, two Essie shades (will insert names when I am home) and a Sinful Colors black polish. 

So this one is one I am in LOVE with. 

It is very holiday appropriate without being a dark shade. 

It reminds me of a winter wonderland. 

This look came out of an accident. 

I had just used the Ulta mint condition polish (which I think is poorly named because it isn't green/mint at all). 

Then I put a sparkly pink shade (will insert name) by Nicole by OPI. 

I didn't like that as an end product so I added a NYX glitter shade (will insert name) and loved it! 

I am going to do one nail with both glitters and one without and see if it makes a difference or not. I will post that pic into here once I do it! =] 

I hope you all enjoyed.

I think I am going to start doing a monthly nail diary showcasing everything I did in that month.

If you don't already follow my Instagram or Twitter where I update with a picture all my nail looks right after I do them. =]

If you own a home, apartment, condo, etc.

or just rent one.

You know all the "lovely" little joys that come with it!

Last night our toilet overflowed. 

Yes.

You read that right overflowed!

It's wasn't just clogged with too much toilet paper, it was clogged to the point that it overflowed.

Over course we were out eating dinner and running errands whilst the water was flowing over the top of the porcelain thrown. 

Oh joy. 

It was disgusting. 

This is not my picture or a good depiction of what happened but it cracked me up.

It's December 3rd and my boyfriend leaves the country in two days for 15 days.

It will be the longest we have ever been apart.

 I'm not sure how it will go but it will leave me with a lot of time to myself, which can be spent doing homework and studying for finals (the perfect student's time would be) or it can be spent doing homework and studying AND blogging, filming, and editing. 

I know I should wait 'til after finals because really it is so close, but how can I when I will have a quiet home to myself? 

Also, this is completely lagged behind my YouTube.

 I have two new tutorials and a few reviews, none of which I have posted on here! I just finished taking pictures (with my iPhone! Camera is dead and the focus is actually amazing on the iPhone, but never fear I am getting my trusty Cybershot back this weekend! 

I hope to have this up-to-date and rolling with much more stuff by Christmas! YAY. =] 

Until next time.
