Quote of the Day

"Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress."

Quote by Coco Chanel from the website www.brainyquote.com

Dreamsicle Inspired Look!

 For this look, I was inspired by my favorite summertime treat, a creamy dreamsicle.

I used reddish-orange and white colors which I think are perfect for the season, plus the dress makes a spectacular coverup!

 

What do you think?

 Is this something you would wear?

What type of shoes would you pair with this outfit?

What is your favorite summertime treat?

I challenge you to create a similar look!

Review: Ulta Mini 5 Piece Brush Set

5 Piece Brush Set from Ulta

This set comes with a blush/ face brush, eyeshadow brush, lip brush, eyeliner brush, and a sponge tip applicator. (Retails for about $2.99)

(I am not sure if this is still available in stores.)

 This set is not the best quality, but I do think it is a nifty contraption that would be great for a weekend/ day trip. It folds open and the brushes stand up right, which is an aspect I adore. Also, the set comes with a decent sized mirror.

I also kind of appreciate that it comes with a sponge tip, this is a makeup device that is not widely used; however I think it can be great for inner corner highlights or even eyeshadow. I really do think that this would make a great addition to a purse especially because it is nice to have for the occasional makeup emergencies.

Do you currently own a set like this? What brand is it? Do you like it?

"Change in all things is sweet."

Step Up Revolution- Gofobo

The other day I saw this amazing movie, before it was officially released in theaters.

STEP UP REVOLUTION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ6wu53BLis

Watch the trailer and try not to be amazed.

I saw it for free thanks to this fantastic website called GOFOBO

http://www.gofobo.com/

You simply sign up with the website and type in your area code, then a list of available movies opens up, and if they are open to the public, YOU get to see the movie free of charge before it is available to the general public.

Of course you will have to print out passes and show up early to claim your seat, but that shouldn't be too big of a deal.

Check out this website!

http://www.gofobo.com/

Now for a mini review.

Step Up Revolution was great, I loved it and the doughnut/ cop scene!

The movie begins with a quote about the need to raise your voice in order to be heard.

This theme is played up all throughout the movie and expands to become raising your voice to protest. These incredible actors play characters that dance to prove their point.

Do they win?

Watch the movie and find out for yourself.

It truely is an incredible and inspiring film.

Did you see any of the previous movies?

Are you a huge fan of this series, like me?

Review: Elf Brightening Eye Color

L-R: Day 2 Night; Butternut

After watching emilynoel83 on youtube I decided to try some Elf products. This is the first review out of many to come.

Shimmery Subtle Sensations

Elf cosmetics features products starting at just $1.00, many of their products have very poor ratings because of cheap quality; however some of the items are amazing finds.

These eyeshadows are neither great nor awful, they are what you should expect for just $1.00 each.

I really don't like how shimmery they are. Also the shadow smudges itself and I end up looking like a mess if I try to add it in the crease.

But, the good news is that they make geat eyelid colors, IF you put only a slight amount on your lid. Be very aware that it only takes a tiny amount to add a bunch of sparkle.

I probably will keep buying these, but only one at a time. They are fun to play with but are not a fantastic quality overall.

Review: Victoria's Secret Lip Glosses

L-R: Ms. Mojito; Fruitloose; Tropicool

Pretty as a Picture Pinks!

Pleasant smelling pink glosses that look as amazing on you as they do in their packages.

I adore these shades from Victoria's Secret, they have just the right amount of sparkle which is actually quite difficult to find; but, somehow Victoria's Secret got it just right! I also like the variety the store offers, they have a plethora of lip glosses to compliment every look. 

If you are searching for a new lip gloss try one of these.

 My current obsession: Tropicool

I like the name and the bright, but subtle glow it gives my lips!

Ramble of the Day

Yesterday I was inspired by a complete stranger. I had never met this person before, yet he came up to me and my sister and shared his incredible story. This is something I will never forget and it is even more special because that is one of my goals.

I want to inspire a stranger.

So, I was amazed when I was inspired by one. It was an incredible experience and I am clearly still excited.

Life really is great! Even when it seems horrible; there is always some spark at the end of the rail.

Favorite Youtube Beauty Gurus

I never used to watch beauty gurus on youtube, but this summer I discovered three fantastic channels.

allthatglitters21

juicystar07

emilynoel83

Allthatglitters21 and juicystar07 are sister that do reviews on makeup, have random vlogs, and over all are fantastic people.

Emilynoel83 is a news lady that can do really amazing makeup tutorials with cheap makeup. She also has a great personality and does a lot of dupe videos.

Check out these videos! They really show how amazing and real these gurus are!

Review: John Frieda Collection Root Awakening

http://www.johnfrieda.com/

John Frieda Collection Root Awakening Strenght Boosting Leave In Spray

Vitamin-enriched; nourishes roots to promote healthier-looking growth for daily use.

 Retails for $6.49

This product is my hair's savior, I love it!

I use this leave in spray almost everyday, it just does wonders for my hair;

however, even though this product works well for me, you may need some other product, and that is the great thing about John Frieda's website. It has a hair quiz that matches you up to the best products for your individual needs.

 Check out their website! http://www.johnfrieda.com/

Simply choose your country and go from there.

Young Addiction

When you were a young kid, did you have a favorite game, activity, etc? Maybe it was checkers or playing hide-and-seek. Or maybe it was styling Barbie's hair online, like me. I used to spend hours playing this online game, and today I decided to check it back out. And now I am like. . ."What was I thinking? That game is so lame." 

 All you do is style Barbie's hair,  after you shampoo and blow dry it. Oh well, at least it provided hours of entertainment when I was younger.

Here's the link in case you want to check it out. http://www.barbie.com/activities/fashion/hair/

Did you ever play this game when you were younger?

What do you think about it?

Outfit of the Day

Cardigan- New York and Co
Wristlet- New York and Co
Jeans- Aeropostale
Boots- Old Navy
Tank- Old Navy
Necklace- Premier Designs Inc

Colorful Classics

I really like this outfit because it is more sophisticated than ripped jeans and a t-shirt, but at the same time it is still relaxed. This outfit combines color and classics. Also, the beautiful raspberry color is going to be a huge hit this fall. All together this outfit reminds me of a raspberry mocha fall drink. This outfit is a total success.

I got my FREE bracelet!

I received my bracelet in the mail the other day and I am so excited. I love it and the fact that it was free. So, here is my verfication that this site (sneakpeeq) is legit. (And no I am not being sponsored, I received this item for free because I was a new member and received a new member gift.) If you want a cool gift like mine then check out their website, which constantly updates their free gift.

Check it out! http://www.sneakpeeq.com/

Also, I am really interested in the website Little Black Bag (http://www.littleblackbag.com/) Have you visited this site? Did you order anything? Do you like the idea of the website?

The idea is creative and I really want to try it out.

Basically, you can take a short style quiz and are matched up to some seriously amazing designer items. (Such as necklaces, rings, bags etc.) Then, once you choose an item you check out and receive some free gifts, that you can trade! You end up receiveng some gorgeous accessories for a fairly cheap price.

Back to School Fashion/Fall Fashion

Don't wander across campus or through the halls without looking fantastic in these latest fashions. I have done my research and added my own fashion taste to present these three hot looks. I recently went on a major shopping haul and I put together some outfits with several of my new pieces. However, not all of the mentioned items are new, in fact I have had the backpack for about a year, (and I forgot where I got it) but denim backpacks are becoming a huge hit now, and I get compliments all of the time. Now, without further ado, I present these three looks. . .

Add some zest to your updated spring look.

Top- Vanity Fair, Shoes- Kohl’s, Headband- Claire’s, Bag- Target, Skirt- Aeropostale

Add some glimmer to the normally drab fall season.

Top- Rue 21, Jeans- Rue 21, Shoes- Seventeen, Nail polish- Orly (Fowl Play), Lip gloss- Victoria’s Secret (Ms. Mojito)

Keep your cool on cold/ rainy days.
Rain boots- Sears, Jacket- Kohl’s, Camisole- Kohl’s, Backpack- Not Sure, Jeans- Rue 21

I went out and about to see real fashion on real people. I then used what I saw as inspiration to create these two looks. Check back tomorrow for the second look.

Here are two ways to wear jean shorts and black, strappy sandals.

Layer it on!
Layers are still in, style a simple patterned tank over a similarly patterened off-shoulder shirt. Now layer both of those over a solid black t-shirt.
Black t-shirt- Old Navy
Coral/ silver top- Rue 21
Green/ white tank- Walmart

Shoutout to Seventeen Magazine

My favorite magazine is Seventeen. It features makeup trends, fashion styles, and inside scoops of the featured cover person. However; this month I wasn't too impressed with the fashion ideas in the section "Endless Summer." Mainly because page 165 features a headband that is $138 from the website janetran.com, I looked up the website and they are a bit pricy. Still, I do not think it is reasonable to feature a headband that is so expensive. I would only spend that much money on an item if I got regular use out of it. This headband doesn't match many of my outfits; therefore, I would only wear it a few times a month.

In other news, Seventeen featured an article about swag. I really like how they expand beyond makeup and fashion and have relevant life style sections.

"Swag is Dead!"
featured in Seventeen magazine

Do you think the term "swag" is no longer relevant? Personally I am tired of hearing this word being thrown around, also I am over "yolo." You only live once, seems like a crazy excuse to act in a crazy manner. Besides, that term got its fair share of profit, I have seen plenty of bumperstickers and posters featuring it. What do you think? What words/ phrases are over used?

Review: Orly nailpolish

Purple: Fowl Play
Pink: Oh Cabana Boy
cost- around $8.00

Gorgeous colors, bold statement! Bright pink and glitter purple are two fantastic colors by themselves; however, mix it up and use both or add any other Orly polish color. I really like this brand of nailpolish because they come in beautiful colors with an inexpensive price tag. I love to use this brand on my toe nails because it seems to last forever. Sometimes the color has lasted two full weeks without any chips, and I don't usually use a top coat.
Here's a tip: Paint your nails with a bright color (maybe a neon green) then use a neutral color as an accent (such as a light gray) to do an updated french tip.

Review: L'oreal Paris Studio Lasting Curls, Curl Scrunching Gel

Prices online: $2.99-$9.99

A decent curl sculpting product, L'oreal Paris Studio Curl Sculpting Gel gives hair a slight crunchy texture. This particular product doesn't quite work well for me in the intended use. However, if I slightly cover a strand of hair with the product and curl with a scrunching method, the results are great. Overall, I think this product is fine, but it could use some tweaks.

The new version of L'oreal Studio is now on the market, so I might try that.

Have you tried the new line, and if so what do you think?
