Huge ColourPop Haul & Tutorial

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous, 
I was SO surprised by the fantastic quality of Colourpop's products! Everything on their website is priced so incredibly reasonable, which makes shopping and buying new makeup super affordable and fun! It only gets better when you find out the makeup quality is up to par with your high end products, so yes I'm very excited about future purchases from Colourpop.com. The eyeshadows are absolutely amazing, by far my new favorite formula and consistency for shadow. The metallic lipsticks were okay on their own, but I've been recently wearing them just in the center of my lips after applying a nude lip liner and it looks really great! Not going to lie, I don't reach for the highlight everyday, but that's only because it's a light purple color so it doesn't go with every kind of look, but is still a fantastic product. Tell me in the comments if you've tried Colourpop, if you have what's your favorite product??

Night Nation Run 5k | Stand Up To Cancer


Hey Gorgeous, 
The other day my friends and I got to go to this super fun dancing 5k! While we didn't necessarily run the race, we did dance and sing our way to the finish line. The after party was the best part, jumping and raving our hearts out to the awesome music the DJ's were playing. If you have the chance to go to this Stand Up To Cancer run next year or in a different state I totally recommend going!

MoonDust Palette - *new* Urban Decay

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous,
As you have probably learned by now, I am obsessed with glitter and sparkles and anything that shines. So of course I had to pick up the new Urban Decay Moondust palette, which is filled with only glitter pigments. I used Inglot's Duraline to keep all the shadows in place and pigmented on my eye, without that stuff this shadow wouldn't only be on my eyes, but also falling out all over my face. Go checkout the eyeshadow tutorial I created with this new palette below! & don't forget to give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed and subscribe to see more videos!

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous,
The only exciting thing about going back to school and getting back on a schedule is picking out a new planner. This is my second year purchasing from ban.do, because they hands down have the cutest planners (with the cutest stickers inside.) Click here to check out the "I am very busy" agenda I have. Click here to see the little pencil case I picked out. 
I'm the kind of person that likes to be super organized when it comes to school assignments, appointments, planning etc. so this planner often comes in handy when needing to have my life plans under control. How do you keep your life organized and planned out? Where did you get your planner from? Comment down below, because I love adding new organizing tips to my life!

The Most Beautiful Lipstick You've Ever Seen

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous,
I got my hands on the most beautiful lipsticks I've ever seen and it actually looks really awesome on as well! So these bad boys retail for $30, but I decided to test my luck on AliExpress and find some dupes. I'm not going to lie... I don't think these are dupes that were sold to me for five dollars... I think it's the real deal, just being sold for super cheap on the side. If you watch the video review I did, (below) you would see how professionally each lipstick is packaged with the plastic covering the box & every detail of the packaging itself being spot on to the real Kailijumei lipsticks. Be sure to checkout the video I made to see each color swatched on my lips. I'm convinced that every color they sell is the same formula and the same pigment, the only difference being the decorations inside the clear lipstick. Other than that I love the hot pink color and how it leaves a pretty stain on the lips.

August Ipsy Un-Bagging

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous, 
My Ipsy bag came in so much later than everyone else on youtube which is why I didn't make a video unbagging mine this month. But don't worry I'm still blogging about it! This month's bag is a bit disappointing compared to my July Un-Bagging. Read more about the products I received below!

Kylie Cosmetics | Reasons Why You Should NEVER Buy Fakeup

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous,
If you haven't read my post about Kylie Cosmetics Heir & So Cute | Lip Swatch & Review, definitely go check that out, because I highly recommend her products. Since I loved the two lip items I purchased straight from her website I wanted to try to find some dupes that were far more $$$ friendly. So I went to the good old Aliexpress.com to find some fake lip kits. Little did I know that what I'd be receiving was GLUE in PRETTY PACKAGING. Okay, I'm exaggerating just a tad, but in all reality I swear they put some Elmers Glue in that fakeup! Watch the video below to see my very first reaction to these disappointing replicas, because it's actually quite funny! Click Here to go to my youtube channel to check out my other videos! Don't forget to leave a thumbs up & subscribe to my channel to see more videos! 
While the packaging was spot on and really beautiful to photograph, the actual product is what really matters. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!! Long story short... It is worth it to just buy the legit products from Kylie herself despite the crazy price tag.

DIY Under Eye Mask | Get Rid Of Dark Circles!

Untitled

Hey Gorgeous,
Since the summer started I haven't been going to sleep at a decent hour... Therefore, some serious under eye baggage has shown up on my face. I did a bunch of research on how to get rid of them naturally and then put these ingredients together to make a refreshing little mask for my dark circles.  

Under Eye Mask Ingredients: 
Brown Sugar - 2 tbsp 
Coffee Grounds - 1 tbsp 
Vegetable Oil - 1-1.5 tbsp (mix in little bits at a time) 
Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp (to leave a sweet scent) 

Instructions: 
Mix all of the ingredients together till you get a nice liquid consistency. Place on under eye bags for 10-15 minutes before washing off with cold water. I usually put this on before I get in the shower for easy removal & cleanup. (watch the video below to see these instructions in action.)

Summer is coming to an end (sadly), but my friends and I are making the most of the last few days before Senior year and doing a bunch of fun things together.

Retro Barbie | Pink Rockabilly Dress


IMG_0278

Hey Gorgeous, 
I'm back with yet another of my most favorite style of dress ever! This forever classic and stylish rockabilly style in a baby pink fit just perfectly in the barbie pink bedroom I used to shoot these photos. I was totally channeling some late 90's early 2000's vibes with my choker and clipped up hair. This is the second dress that I own from the amazing designer Naty BK, the first one being a red and green flower printed rockabilly pinup that I made a post on a few weeks ago. Go checkout that post right here: Pinup Doll. If you love these dresses you would die for the jewelry she sells on her Etsy Shop, as well as other super cute accessories. 
My favorite thing about these dresses is that you can style them so differently each time you decide to wear one. Throw on a jean jacket and wear some white tennis shoes and you're ready for a theme park or an ice cream date. Slip into some high heels and a cardigan and be on your way to a movie date or a night out with the girls. Basically what I'm trying to say is that this style of dress is extremely versatile and fun to switch up by mix & matching accessories. 
My second favorite thing about this outfit is the clutch... Because I love pretty much everything that sparkles. The clutch pictured is from Judith Leiber and is exquisitely made, but I found a few that are more reasonably priced. 

Sondra Roberts Crystal Box Clutch: Here is great option if you aren't looking to splurge. 
Rhinestone Clutch: This one is a bit less expensive than the Sondra Roberts clutch (linked above), but still just as quality looking.
Judith Leiber Couture Crystal Slide-Lock Clutch- If you are looking to splurge on an extremely well made Judith Leiber clutch, here is one that is very similar to the one I'm sporting in the pictures.

If you are in California click HERE to go straight to Naty's Facebook page to find out when the next flea market she will be attending is so you can pick out your perfect pinup dress.
