New year's Resolutions

Hey guys! So, I realized that 2013 is in three days.... How crazy is that.  But anyways here's a list of my resolutions. Don't make fun and I'm some of you beauty and makeup lovers can relate to some of these

Beauty/makeup resolutions
1.BUY MORE MAKEUP!- Okay i know a lot of you are thinking she doesn't need anymore makeup, and you right I don't need it... but makeup is my passion, I'm absolutely obsessed with doing my makeup and buying new products and trying new things

Fitness:
Stick to an ab workout and see results!
Do at least 5 pull-ups a day: we have a pull-up bar that hangs in the doorway so I can do them everyday.
Stretch for 30 minutes everyday-  I cheer competitively and need to desperately work on this.

Blog:
Post at least once a week if not more
Maybe start a youtube channel? What do you guys think?

A resolution I've done every year but can't do... keep my room clean!
I struggle with that, it looks like my closet threw up in my bedroom..

Ulta Haul

Hey Beauties! So I went to Ulta today and picked up a few things, so I thought I would do a haul for you all! Hope you enjoy, leave a comment down below if you have tried any of these products before!



The first two things I got, were two blushes by NYX.  In the first picture, the top one is a cream blush in  the shade glow. My camera doesn't really pick up the color but its a corally pink.  I'd say its more of a pink then coral.  The second one is a powder blush in the shade mocha. At first glance, its similar to "glow" but its more brown and soft. These are my first NYX blushes, so if you've tried one leave a comment below on your thoughts!

The next two products are more NYX products, but since there isn't an Ulta close to me I had to stock up.  I got two jumbo eyeshadow pencils, one in "strawberry milk" and the other in  "milk". "Strawberry milk" would be good for those days when your in a rush and need to quickly get out the door, you can just swipe it over your lid and you have a very basic and natural eye look, or of course you can add a crease color to intensify the look, but ithink its a very pretty basic look to do with just the eye pencil and then your eyeliner and mascara with it.  I got the color "milk" because it makes a very good eyeshadow base and can help to intensify any color.



I also needed a new bronzer, so I picked one up as well.  This is the "Too Faced Snow Bunny Perfecting Bronzing Powder" and its really nice because it comes with a bronzer shade, a blush, and a highlight, but you can also mix the colors together and get a gorgeous bronzer.

I haven't tried the "Too Faced" shadow insurance so if you have, leave a comment below!

 I am probably the most excited about this product, it's the Stila lip glaze set.  It comes with 8 different lip glazes and it only costs $25.  I don't think they are the full size but there's enough product in each one for more than one use.



Okay, these are the last two NYX products, like I said I needed to stock up.  Anyway, the top product is a lipliner in the shade "Pale Pink".  The bottom one is a lipgloss in the color "Beige".  I've heard so many great things about these lipglosses so I figured I had to try it.


The last thing is the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.  I needed a new powder because the one I'm currently using is the Elf Translucent Matifying Powder and I'm running out.  But I've heard lots of people on Youtube talk about it so I went ahead and picked up so I could try it!

Leave a comment below on what else you'd like to see on this blog! I'm starting back up for the New Year and am going to keep it going this time!

Pretty and Pink: this shirt and skirt are definitely something I would love to wear to school.  With the shirt tucked in loosely to the skirt  its such a cute outfit!! Especially with the bag and the shoes the golds really pop and give the outfit a little bit of sparkle.


Forever in Floral:  This is such an effortless outfit the jean jacket makes it casual  but the print adds a bit of pop to the outfit . with some nude gladiators the outfit is so cute!

Sorry guys! And My manicure method

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I jut got back from the beach an I've been super busy!! Anyway, I just found out there's a blogger app, so I can do on the go posts:) which is what I'm doing right now:). But from the picture you can see I did my naillss! Oh boy did they need it to. Below is my super easy manicure method:)
1. Remove any nail polish left on your nails.
2. Taking a 4 sided nail file shape and buff your nails according to the directions for the file.
3.apply a hand cream to your nails, any lotion will work.
4. Apply a clear base coat to your nails.
5. Once that dries apply your color. I used Spoiled's cotton mouth, a really pretty bubble gum light pink color but any color or brand will work.
6. Apply any nail art designs you like, I just did white French tips to mine.
7. Apply a clear top coat for extra protection of your nails so they don't chip easily:)

What do you think of my manicure? Leave a comment below!

My Makeup Story


Hey guys! So I've seen this tag on youtube "My Makeup Story"... or something like that but anyway I figured I would do mine!
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning,  I started wearing makeup the beginning of 7th grade.  I remember the day my mom took me to Aveda salon so I could have a "professional" do my makeup and show me how its done.  I started out with a small eyeshadow palette that my mom bought for me from Aveda, a revlon cream eyeshadow quad, a lip stain and gloss, and a revlon bronzer and blush duo that my friend bought me for my birthday.  Before all this though I would sneak on makeup when I went to my friend's house, or sneak some of my mom's makeup on. I got grounded a couple times for wearing makeup after she told me I wasn't allowed to. I got really into makeup when I started watching videos on youtube. I have probably watched all of juicystar07's, meganheartsmakeup, and macbarbie07's videos.  thats when I really started collecting makeup.  the first high end makeup product I bought was the Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette. When I went into the store I had no idea how expensive anything was and instead of eyeshadow, which I thought I had, I grabbed cream eyeliners thinking I could buy 4 or 5, when the lady came over to help me, she asked if I wanted cream eyeliners... I had no idea what she was talking about so I was like oh yea sure, but thankfully she helped me find what I wanted and bought my first makeup palette! Ahhh you have no clue how excited I was, I remember it to like it was yesterday (yea i know that sounds cheesy but its true!)
