OOTD: February 27

It was super warm today so I decided to break out a dress. I did pair it with some leggings because it is still a little chilly. I loved this outfit, it was super comfortable and I got a compliment on it which is always awesome! I only wish I had more time to do something with my crazy hair, but hey, sleep is more important to me (sorry :(..)

The boots were also really comfortable. I was going to pair it with some more grayer ones but i thought these pair nicely. I got these boots on Black Friday and I was super excited, now I just need a few more outfits to pair them with!

please forgive me for the crap quality, I had to pull J away from his xbox to take these and he was in a hurry! 

cardigan- Old Navy sale last winter

Dress- Target

Tank- aeropostale (light pink)

leggings- walmart ( only 5.88 and they're really thick! )

boots- Jcpenny (i think)

I hope you had a great day!

Photography?

So, I recently (today actually!) posted a video on YouTube where I mentioned I am really into Photography and as promised here is a blog post with some of my favorite images. I did add my name to the pictures just because I don't want anyone to take credit for these images and they can end up anywhere. 

This is just a few of hundreds and it was really hard for me to pick these out but I hope you enjoyed them !

Lips Amplified: Impassioned

I am so excited about this post...because I just wrote how i was lusting over this product and now here it is! 

My first Mac lipstick, or product for that matter! I was going to pick a nude color like hue or cream cup but I thought what the heck why not go for something a little bit, well brighter! This is Mac impassioned.

(with flash)

I am so in love with the color, it goes so nice with my skin color and I think i will be getting lots of wear out of this even though it is so bright. I also really love the formula, it's amplified if you couldn't tell by the title. I am really excited to get my hands on some more Mac lipsticks.

What is your favorite Mac lipstick?

NOTD: Valentines Day

Let me first start of with I am in a very, very, happy relationship but I still think Valentines Day is meant just as another reason to get people to spend their money. With the being said i thought i would do my nails to reflect my feelings. 

I choose to do black and then a nice hot pink color on the ring fingers and I love it. I have always been a fan of black nails and within the last year or so everyone has been doing the pop of color and I think it's amazing and really worked for my valentines day feelings.

I don't believe that I have used this color before, and i was a little bit spectacle, if you read my post NOTD: French Pink then you will know why. But, i was really surprised with this color because in my opinion it doesn't look anything like it does in the bottle. It is much brighter and it has really nice blue undertones to it that make it really stand out against the black.

If you can't tell from the pictures the name of this is 'Raspberry Rush'. After seeing it on my nails today i am quite excited to wear it on my toes this summer. 

And just in case you wanted to see the black i used it's called 'Black Out' but really any black would work! :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful Valentines day!

My Foundation Routine

When doing my makeup the most important part is making my skin look the absolute best that I can. who cares if my eye makeup is epic if my face looks a mess, right? Right! I highly suggest sitting down in front of your mirror and working out the best foundation routine for you! So i thought i would take some picture to go along with the video.  And because this post is already massively long I will link the video HERE! (& below)

Iconic

I have a new icon! I didn't like that i had different icons for every account i had and i really like this picture so i thought it would be a good change. Since you can't really see the picture anywhere because it is so tiny i thought i would share it on here as well. Let me know what you guys think? I think i am going to change my theme to match it as well so be looking out for a few more updates. :)

I hope you guys are having a wonderful night!

OOTD

I just downloaded the blogger app and this is my first post! Yay :) anywho, this is what I wore today I hope you enjoy. :)

OOTD February 7 2012

This is completely my style comfy and simple but cute. I am a hassle free dress all the way :)  This is such a comfortable sweater where i cut the neckline to make it off the shoulder. 

I know you guys are thinking why the heck do you have those pink sunglasses on your face :P well the reason is my eyes look really weird but this is the only good picture i got of my whole body! 

I had to add one of me and J<3 :)

Sweater: unknown, Walmart maybe?

tanktop: Aeropostale

jeans: Old Navy

Shoes: Target

Necklace: Maurices 

French Pink

So, I honestly don't know why i ever picked this color up. I am not someone who likes light colored nails but the other day i just kept eyeing and thought why not? Well, it turns out I love the color! I, however, didn't really care for the nail polish consistency, it was really streaking and even after 3 coats it wasn't as opaque as i would have liked. Now, you might not know but if nail polish last 24 hrs on me it's a miracle! and well i have had this for just about 24 and i have no chips, that's a good sign in my book!

Do you prefer light pastels colors, more bright, or are you a deep and dark person?

Lipstick Lust

So after seeing the new Mac Iris Apfel collection I have been obsessed with Party Parrot and sadly it is sold out... So after searching for dupes i can across Impassioned. I AM IN LOVE! It is the most gorgeous hot pink with coral undertones! Hopefully this will be mine very soon!

These are not my images! Click here to check out the blog i got them from!

What do you think? Are you as in love as i am? What lipsticks are you currently lusting over?

Brighter Blues

I recently did a video on how to make your blue eyes really stand out. I used only brown eye shawdows on my lids and crease and then a nice bright red lip. This look is so easy and great for everyday but really brings out blue eyes and focuses on what i think is one of my better features. 

Now if you don't have blue eyes, don't worry this look will still be a great simple everyday look. If you do what to make your eye color really stand out try using one solid color on your lives that works best for you.

as you can see it really brings out blue eyes!

I hope you guys enjoy!
