outfit of the day: boho wanna-be

shirt: american eagle outfitters // cardigan thing: kohls // jeans: BKE denim // boots: marshalls // bracelets: handmade & gifts // necklace: molly the pirate on etsy // headband: school fundraiser

whoa. whoa. I had no idea how insanely awesome I was at foot modeling *pauses and admires feet, thinks of calling payless shoes for a job*

About three-four months ago I started a fashion revolution in my grade when I showed up with a simple hemp-braided headband wrapped around my head.
Seriously. Not kidding. The funny thing was that more guys than girls jumped on the "hippie headband" bandwagon, and I was flooded with requests for them (I make my own). It is a regular item of my wardrobe now, and I wear one two-three days a week.

What's your favorite accessory to add to an outfit?

makeup tutorial: princess

My grandad passed away last night, and I thought today I would do something with my makeup that reminded me of him. He used to call me "princess", I don't know why, but it kind of stuck, so I thought I'd do a "princess-y" look :)

Products used:
Revlon Creme Shadows (cream base)
Profusion Palette (light gold shadow)
Revlon Quad in Coffee Bean (highlight cream color)
Coastal Scents 88 Original palette (gold, brown, deep pink, plum-brown)
wet n wild dark brown eyeliner
Covergirl All-in-One mascara in black
Covergirl LashBast Fusion mascara in black
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Icy Nude

step 1: prime your lids

step 2: pat a gold shadow on your inner corners/tear duct area

step 3: apply a light cream-colored shadow all over your lid

step 4: sweep a deep pink color into your crease and outer corner

step 5: with a light hand, take a dark brown/plum/red color and pat it into your very outer corner (if you happen to have the Urdban Decay Original Naked palette "Hustle" would be great for this!)

step 6: with the same brown/plum/red color, line the outer half of your upper lids. With the remaining shadow on the brush, apply it to the outer third of your lower lids

step 7: Line your waterline with a brown liner

step 8: apply several coats of your favorite black mascara to your upper and lower lashes.

step 9: finish off with a pinky-nude lip color and put a gloss on top.

done!

I hope you guys enjoyed this and if you ever try out any of my tutorials, post a photo of yourself on your blog and leave me the link, I'd love to se how it works out for you!

top 5 beauty products of march

Hey guys! I'm so excited to share my March favorites with you! I've been using some great products this month, so here we go...

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow

Whenever I want a strong eyeshadow base with a tad of shimmer, I reach for "too cool". This stuff keeps my eyeshadows in place all day, some thing other cream shadows haven't been able to do. Now, I understand that cream shadows aren't necessarily supposed to keep eyeshadows in place, but I do think they should be able to resist creasing fairly well. "Too cool" does, and I love it!

2. Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

I've used this concealer every single day since I got it and words cannot describe much I love this product. It's very light and you can't feel it on, and it really does brighten your face. I'm in the shade "Radiant", but honestly I think "Ivory" would work even better for me because it's warmer-based. You guys have to try this out, it is uh-MAZE-ing!

3. CoverGirl Lasblast Fusion Mascara

I really like this mascara. It lengthens, volumizes, and dramatizes my lashes. My only complaint about this product is by the end of the school day, I notice some flaking, which can get annoying. But it's easily fixed with a little swipe underneath your eyes. Trust me, it's worth it!

4. Rimmel Blush in Pink Sorbet

This has been my go-to everyday blush for the past three-four weeks. I love how light it is and how it gives my skin a gorgeous healthy glow! Definitely one of my top favorites this month!

5. Sinful Colors Nail Polish in "Hazard"

This is currently my go-to nail color. If I'm too lazy to do a nail design in a hurry I can slap on this color and in one coat it's good-to-go.

What were your March favorites?

sunday spark week 4

I know, my lack of posting around here is getting ridiculous! I do have the final two makeup tutorials in the eye color series ready, so I should be able to get those up over the next few days. But I also have to post my March beauty favorites!

Just a simple nail design today! It took super quick to do, but I have to say I think its one of my favorites! I love the slight gradient effect and I think its perfect for spring/easter.

sunday spark week 3

Yes, I am still going to do this despite the extreme lack of links ;)

You better believe I wore this look to school on Thursday! Unfortunately, these photos do not do it justice because they were taken after a long day at school, so the colors smudged/faded a little bit. Almost everyone in my class commented on it, and none of them could believe I didn't use MAC or Sephora. Nope, it was Coastal Scents and drugstore baby!
I didn't get to go to the Hunger Games midnight premier, but I went on Friday with my family and Saturday with my friends. Yep, I'm kinda obsessed ;)

makeup tutorial: for gorgeous greens

This is the second tutorial in the eye color series, and I thought it was appropriate to do green eyes on St. Patrick's day :)
So, remember the chart I made for the blue eyes tutorial? Well, I made another one for green eyes:

These are the colors I think look best with green eyes, the ones that really make them pop. On with the tutorial!

Products used:
Revlon Creme Shadows in Not Just Nudes
Lancome Quad
Milani Baked Shadow
Jordana Eyeshadow Duo in Purple Smokes
Physicians Formula Gel Eyeliner
Wet n Wild eyeliner in dark brown
Wet n Wild color icon jumbo pencil in pixie
Covergirl all-in-one mascara

start with clean eyes.

step 1: prime your lids with any shadow base you have.

step 2: take a shimmery cream color...

and pat it on the lower half of your eyelid.

step 3: take a shimmery gold shadow and pat it onto the upper half of your lid up to your crease

 step 4: sweep a medium-purple/lilac shade into your crease. (these photos do not do this color justice, it's gorgeous!)

step 5: with a dark plum-y/purple color, define your outer corner and the outer part of your crease.

step 6: line the outer part of your lid with purple. I used gel eyeliner, but you can use anything. Also, smudge a tiny bit into your lower lashline.

step 7: line your waterline with dark brown and highlight your inner corner with a shimmery champagne color.

step 8: curl your lashes and apply mascara.

Your done!

I hope this was helpful for all you green eyed girls out there! Next up, hazel :)
