"No Makeup" Makeup Tutorial

Hey Gorgeous, 

This is my very first video of my "Back To School" series. Most mornings before school I don't have the time or energy to go full glam so install I go for a natural look, so natural it looks like I'm not wearing makeup at all. These kind of all natural looks are so pretty on every woman because it accentuates their natural features just enough to stand out without having to spend a ton of time in the morning on makeup, when you could be getting an extra 30 minutes of sleep.

stand out in a POP of color

Hey Gorgeous, 

Everyday I surprise myself more and more with my outfit choices. I have worn more color in the past few months than I have in the past few years... I think that since I have my hair dyed black I am taking a step away from wearing my usual all black outfits. I'm kinda missing my grunge looks a lot, not gonna lie. 

Okay, now back on track to this bright orange dress: I found this gem at a boutique in California called 2Bella and I'm so glad that my mom made me try it on. Never thought I'd love the look of bright colors on my pale skin as much as I do. I feel like intense neon colors look beautiful on all skin tones, it really accentuates your skin no matter if you're as pale as paper or as dark as a bronzed goddess.  

Ladies, don't be afraid to wear bright colors! You might just end up surprising yourself and find a new love for intense color in your wardrobe. The best thing about dresses like this one is that they are super light and airy, therefore extremely comfortable to wear in the summer heat. Since I purchased mine from a boutique I couldn't find the exact one online, but I did find a bunch of adorable bright sundresses (linked below.)

Bright Red Slip Dress: This looks so comfortable and breathable for everyday wear out in the hot sun. 

Mustard Yellow T-Shirt Dress: Throw this over a swimsuit and head to the pool or accessorize with you favorite pair of wedges and head out for a lunch date.

Hot Orange Shift Dress: I can totally see myself wearing this to a summer festival. Because of the tie up front, it gives off a hint bohemian vibes that I love.

Classic Linen Pants

Hey Gorgeous,

My mom recently gave me this pair of linen pants and at first I never thought I'd wear them, but then I tried them on and fell in love. Now I feel like everyone should own a pair of white linen pants, just because these things will never go out of style! My mom bought this pair from Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) a few years ago and they are still stylish and chic today! You could totally dress up your pants, but I decided to go for the chilled look and pair it with a tank and add some black accessories to complete the look. 

You can NEVER go wrong with black accessories, all you have to do is throw a few of your favorite black pieces together and all of a sudden it looks effortless and perfect! I wore my favorite chunky heels from Steve Madden, black choker necklace, Chanel crossbody, and some gold and black bracelets.

Kylie Cosmetics Heir & So Cute | Lip Swatch & Review

Hey Gorgeous,

Yes... I jumped on the massive bandwagon and purchased some Kylie Cosmetics lip products, and I'm so glad I did. These things literally sellout within hours of restocking on her website, so I'm really lucky to have gotten my hands on the Heir Metallic Matte Lipstick and the So Cute Lipgloss. I made a video of my first impressions so definitely go check that out to see what the swatches look like. 

Heir Metallic Matte Lipstick

While this doesn't really appear metallic in the tube or on my lips, I really enjoy this color and the consistency. I wore this for 6+ hours and the longevity of it is great, which is hard to come by. I ate donuts, drank water, got many kisses from a big puppy and as the lipstick faded it still looked nice on my lips and not super patchy, but that may be because it's a nude color and not a super bright red or hot pink. Over all review: the color and consistency is amazing, but it's not necessarily a metallic color (I still love it and recommend it despite that little issue.)

So Cute Lipgloss 

 THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GLOSSES I'VE EVER TRIED. The color is beautiful, and the longevity is also great. I don't have any complaints or negative things to say about this gloss. Therefore, if you're looking for the perfect nude, your search is over.

July Ipsy Un-bagging

Hey Gorgeous, 

If you haven't watched the video of me un-bagging this months Ipsy definitely go ahead and do that! & don't forget to like and subscribe to my Youtube Channel. 

So, as you can see from the video (inserted below) I am extremely excited about the products I received, and am over the moon impressed with the bag all of the items came in. The bags in the past months usually are super disappointing, just because they either have a tacky print or just a weird design all together. I will definitely be keeping this cute little holographic bag and using it to hold other things in my everyday life. Now onto the products, because that's probably why you clicked on this post. (HA) 

Shray - Ms. Amazing & Queen Bee Masks

I just put on the Ms. Amazing mask and I was pleasantly surprised... It left my skin feeling so soft and moisturized, if I end up liking the Queen Bee mask (which I probably will) I'll definitely pick up some more of these awesome little sheet masks. 

Luxie Beauty - Luxie Rose Gold Small Angle Eye Brush 215

I have a flat eyeliner brush from this brand and it is fantastic so I have no doubt I'll love this brush as well. 

Mellow Cosmetics - Baked Eyeshadow in Plum 

When I first swatched this shadow it was a bit chalky, but went on my skin super pigmented, so I'll just have to see how well it lasts throughout a full day of wearing. Other than that the color is beautiful, I don't have anything else like it in my collection. 

bareMinerals - Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Swag

Basing my opinion off of the swatch on my hand I can tell that this is going to be a very nice matte color. It wasn't too runny or too thick, it was a consistency similar to the Kylie Cosmetics liquid lipsticks. The color is also super pretty.

Not Soap, Radio - Joy Inducing Hand/Body Lotion

This stuff smells amazing. It's also very moisturizing and light. It's not one of those super thick lotions where it feels like it will never dissolve into your skin, so that's a plus in my book.

The Estee Edit - Metallishadow Creme + Base | Tutorial & Review

Hey Gorgeous, 

I was on the hunt for the perfect shimmery metallic shadow for a while now and when I came across this Metallishadow in Sephora I just had to try it. The concept of having the shadow base come with the loose glitter is so convenient. I love matte shadows, but intense shimmery glitters take the prize for my favorite kinds of shadows. Overtop of the base, this silver glitter is extremely pigmented and over the top, just how I like it.

Little White Dress | LWD

Hey Gorgeous,

The little white dress... yes, I just changed the famous LBD (little black dress) into LWD. While a classic black dress is a staple piece in any woman's wardrobe, so is a classic white dress. I picked mine up from the Zara in downtown Los Angeles and sadly they aren't selling them anymore, but the good thing about a LWD is that there are millions of options to choose from.

Lace White Dress: This one reminded me a lot of Chanel styled clothes, therefore it exudes expensive taste.

Structured Midi Dress: LOVE this structured style of dress. Super classy yet still sassy. 

Ivory Shift Dress: This one is almost identical to the one I'm wearing.

Another thing I love doing is matching up basic clothing pieces with a pop of color from my purse. My Grandfather got me this baby blue Coach purse for my birthday a few years ago and I find it super appealing to pair with white clothing pieces. Whether it's white jeans and a white t-shirt or a white dress. 

Baby Blue Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C.: I love the style of this purse, definitely check it out.

Light Pink - Kate Spade - Cedar Street Small: cutest little pink purse ever.

Everyday Summer Joggers

Hey Gorgeous,

Let me tell you a little bit about these pants... It actually feels like I'm not wearing any pants at all to be completely honest. These are my go to pants for a regular day filled with errands, casual ice cream dates, and taking my dogs to the park, etc. I got this army green pair from Lululemon, but I also have a grey pair that I found at T.J. Maxx that are almost identical, style wise. Here are some options of awesome everyday joggers - 

Dark Blue Joggers

 Crisp White Joggers

 Black Joggers

 Denim Joggers

   I added some extra pictures of my little adventure in the Short North of Columbus, Ohio. enjoy! Aspire to be Inspired.

Too Faced - Lip Injection Extreme Lipgloss | Review

Hey Gorgeous,

I recently picked up this lip gloss from the Sephora at the Beverly Center in California. I was super skeptical on wether it really worked or not and wanted to try it out to see if it is worth the 28 dollar price tag! (ridiculous, I know.) So this product comes in the 'normal' lip injection lipgloss, but no... I had to go all the way and get the extreme version. I mean... If you're going to be buying a lip plumping lip gloss you want to get the biggest lips you can possibly get so picking the extreme version over the normal wasn't a hard decision for me. 

I already have quite plump lips to begin with so maybe that is why the results weren't as drastic as I would've assumed them to be. For me this lipgloss is not a repurchase item, but sure is fun to wear! One thing I LOVE, is that the 'plumping' ingredients in this gloss turned my lips a nice pinky-red shade. I liked this a lot, because naturally my lips are almost the same color as my skin and kinda blend in with the rest of my face, so I'll be wearing this on days where I don't want to wear lipstick but still want my lips to be visible. While I didn't notice a HUGE difference in the size of my lips, I have to admit that they did become a tad larger, so anyone looking for that little bit of a difference this product is definitely for you. 

I can see myself definitely finishing this lipgloss, but I probably won't be dropping thirty dollars to get another. Watch the video below to see the application process as well as the difference between my natural lips and the gloss coated lips. Aspire to be Inspired.

Pinup Doll

Hey Gorgeous, 

Let me tell you a bit about this gorgeous rockabilly pinup dress that I picked up at the Rose Bowl flea market in California. First of all, it's so cute and classic. The print is just adorable. & this style of dress is practically flattering on all figure types, because of how it cinches in super high up. The designer of this dress (Naty BK) was there selling a bunch of other dresses just like this one in all different colors and patterns, I literally wanted every single one in my size. Currently she doesn't have a website to buy directly from, but informed me that soon will be selling directly from her own site. Here is her Etsy page, where she sells accessories, but go and like her Facebook page to be updated on when her website is launched! Until then I found some other options of extremely cute rockabilly style dresses. 

Cherry Print : This is the same exact style of the dress I'm wearing, except in a super cute cherry print  instead. This dress is being sold on Modcloth.com which has a ton of vintage inspired dresses and clothing. I ordered my Sophomore year Winter Formal dress from there and was extremely impressed with the quality and uniqueness. 

Ivory Swing Dress : The first thing that popped into my brain when I saw this was "Marilyn Monroe." Such a classic and cute style, definitely recommend. 

Red Halter Pinup  : Love love love this dress.

I feel like I'm having a major style crisis, not in a bad way though... I want to dress up in these adorable pinup dresses everyday! Just the confidence from wearing this style is enough to make the rest of the day 10 times better. Aspire to be Inspired.

Hiking & Cliff Jumping At Hocking Hills | Adventure Vlog

Hey Gorgeous,

Last week I went on a mini road trip with a bunch of my friends to Hocking Hills. I woke up at 4 in the morning to finish making sandwiches for everyones lunch and then we all met at our old middle school at 5:30 AM to start on our journey. Since we had gotten there so early (around 7:30 AM)  it was a bit chilly, but it was perfect for hiking! We later stumbled upon a waterfall and a huge rock and saw some little girls jumping off and decided to take our chances at cliff jumping as well. It was such an awesome day, I got to film it all on my GoPro Hero 3 so be sure to watch the footage from our road trip down below. Aspire to be Inspired.

Boho Chic

Hey Gorgeous,

I wore this outfit to Red, White, & Boom downtown Columbus for the annual fireworks show. Usually, I would dress up a bit nicer, because my grandma has a place with the most amazing view of the sky. Instead, this year I went down into the park accompanied by my friends and a TON of other people. So, because I was going to be sitting in the grass on a picnic blanket for most of the night i decided to go with a more casual outfit. I love this fringe top that I got from a little boutique in California, it's perfect for Summer's hot and humid weather. I paid it with my favorite black high waisted shorts from Zara. I HIGHLY recommend having a classic pair of black high waisted shorts, just because they are totally in right now, but also because there are so many ways you can wear them. Personally, I love high waisted shorts with crop tops, but also with normal shirts as well, simply because they hold everything in especially after a big meal (which I eat quite often during the summer.) I'm not going to lie... I own about 5 pairs of high rise shorts in different colors and patterns, so I'm not lying when I say they're my absolute favorite. Here are a few pairs of shorts I could definitely see myself wearing. Here, perfect black pair here, light pink pair, denim lace up shorts. Aspire to be Inspired.
