OOTD/FOTD: Summer Feels

 Shirt-Thrifted

Shorts-Papaya

Shoes-Urban Outfitters

Here in Arizona it already feels like summer. Real Talk: It always feels like summer here!

I think this outfit is all about the summer feels. Tank top, high wasted shorts, and that pair  of converse that are totally covered in dirt, but that's the way they should be! My choice of converse are these high top white ones. I loves em! 

The shirt was thrifted. My local thrift store's just get better and better. I am in love with the red and polka dots. It's a fun look, and with the pigtails I look about 16. Usually I look a solid 18 years old! (I'm almost 25, and I'm a little tired of trying to buy a bottle of wine and the cashier saying, 'Are you really 21?) 

But pigtails are one of my go-to hairstyles. Also there was this one time I was wearing pigtails in a video and someone said I reminded them of Harley Quinn. No turning back after that! 

How's the weather where you are? Is it so hot you feel like your guts are boiling? Here's something that blows my mind..is it...snowing where you are? Because there's no way! 

Makeup:

Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation

Maybelline Better Skin Concealer

Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Palette

NYX Wicked Dreams Eye Shadow Palette

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade

MAC 'MAC RED' Lipstick

Maybelline Gel Eye Liner

This makeup look is all about the red lips and bronzer. 

It's a pretty typical makeup look around here.

And, hey, would you look at that mug?? I went to As You Wish and painted myself a mug to represent my YouTube channel. :D 

Hope you guys are doing good! 

Black

Recently I have become a little bit (ok A LOT a bit) obsessed with the color black. I want to wear it all day everyday! So black was the main inspiration for this little photo shoot I did. I found this shirt at rue21 and the makeup look was inspired by the shirt. 

 Makeup Used:

Loreal Infallible Foundation

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Bare Minerals Perfecting Veil Powder

elf Eyebrow Kit

Maybelline Brow Drama

Colourpop 'Monster' Highlight

Colourpop 'Bull Chic' Lippie Stix

Colourpop 'Swerve' Eyeliner 

Tarte 'Lights Camera Flashes' Mascara

The ColourPop products really made the look! From the 'Monster' highlight to the 'Bull Chic' lippie I am officially obsessed with them! 

I sort of gave myself a challenge for this shoot. I really wanted to use my hands more. I have a little bit of an insecurity using my hands in photo's, and so I really tried to make some movement in these pics. I have 'belugaria' on my fingernails by Essie. This nail polish is freaking insane! It's...like...chunky...on purpose. Haha. If you don't know what I mean look it up or try it out and be amazed (and a little weirded out). 

While shooting this I was listening to the new Coldplay album. Have you given it a listen? It's amazing! :)

I hope you guys liked this! Happy almost Christmas!

"This being human is a guest house...
Every morning a new arrival....
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor!
Welcome and entertain them all...
Be grateful for whoever comes
Because each has been sent as a guide"

(Lyrics from Coldplay's song 'Kaleidoscope')

 Spring is such a fun time of the year. I love all of the flowers blooming, although my nose isn't too keen on it! I've been sneezing like crazy lately!

I did this pink makeup look and I think it makes for a lovely spring makeup look. The white eyeliner is my favorite! It makes my eyes look ten times bigger and goes perfectly with all of the pops of pink.

Also, the hairstyle definitely screams spring to me. The flower crown is from Claire's, in case any of you were wondering. :)

January Favorites

1. I got this palette in Tarte's Gorgeous Getaways box set around Christmas. I love this so much! All of the colors are extremely pigmented and look wonderful together. 

 

2. Sweet mint EOS lip balm

 

3. I pair these two lip products all the time. The Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick in 17 with Tarte's New York Minute lip gloss. 

4. Lush's Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar. It smells so delicious! 

 

5. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs. This book is amazing. It's the second in a series and is full of creepy awesome pictures and adventure. 

6. I've really been loving soinspo. Sophie is super sweet and has great fashion taste. Definitely take a look. http://www.soinspo.blogspot.co.uk/ 

7. The movie Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. I've watched it twice this month and love it. It has amazing action and is a fairytale retelling, and we all know how much I love fairy tales. 

Tarte Gorgeous Getaways

This holiday season I went into Ulta and saw this box set of Tarte make up and had to get it. It was $48, which is an amazing deal. 

I absolutely love it and use it everyday.

It comes with:

16 eye shadows

4 blushes

3 lip glosses

and a travel case

The gold case is pretty awesome. You can take out any of the four palette's, pop it in the case, and carry it in your purse. 

Swatches!

Some of the colors are hard to see here, but they all show up nicely on my face. 

Did anyone else buy this or receive it as a gift?
