Jellies and Hair Chalk

"And when we come for you
We'll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms"
Florence + The Machine's 'Spectrum'

Another photo-shoot-y blog post???

Yes.

Another.

I've been super inspired by crazy lip colors so why not? For this look I have ColourPop's Ultra Matte Lip in 'Jellies'. It's an awesome dark blue color.

and Splat's hair chalk in the color's: 'Dusty Rose', 'Mint Candy', and 'Silver Moon'.

 I am so wishing my hair was actually these colors! How cool would that be??? These hair chalks are super easy to use and super pigmented so you get a really cool effect when you run it down your hair!

The two colors 'Mint Candy' and 'Silver Moon' are really similar though. I don't even think I can tell a difference in the pictures, but that's OK. Silver Moon has a ton of sparkles in it! 

The dress was a gift from Jason and is from Forever21. The pearl collar is cute, and I paired it with that pearl necklace that is being used as a bracelet. 

The lip color is quite striking. I love how ColourPop has so many unique lip colors and their matte lippies feel really nice on the lips. Not too drying and comfortable to wear. 

Laying down pictures are difficult. This really doesn't have anything to do with the makeup...but...like...have you ever done this? I was seriously thinking I must look like a psycho because for some reason I can't control my face when I lay down! 

Anyways! Have you tried ColourPop yet??? I totally recommend their products. 

AND should I dye my hair like this??? :D :D

Way in the back of my mind

I saw my life in a stranger's face

And it was mine"

Sia's Song 'Alive'

I went out and took these pics on New Years Eve. It was pretty fun! I didn't have much planned for that night, but we went downtown where it's all lit up for Christmas, and there were lots of people hanging out. 

My husband surprised me with this dress a few days after Christmas because he is awesome and knows my style too well! I really like the collar and how it can pop out of a sweater to add a little cutesy vibe. 

 "That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets!" -Mean Girls

I don't know why but the more I don't wash my hair the bigger it gets! But maybe it is full of secrets!

My lip color here is ColourPop's 'Grunge' and I love it! It's such a pretty dark nude color! I'm thinking of doing a makeup tutorial with it over on my YouTube

 Happy New Year!

I hope 2016 is everything you hope it will be. 

OOTD: Sparkles For Christmas

 Dress-Rue21

Cape Coat-Shein

Beanie-Earthbound Trading Company

Gloves-Rue21

Tights-Gifted

Boots-Rue21

Lots of pics for this outfit, but it's not everyday I get to do a shoot in the snow...which was cold, but not as cold as you might think. The sun was beating down on that snow. Typical Arizona!

I saw this dress at Rue21 and immediately thought CHRISTMAS!!! :D It's just perfect for it. The red and sparkles are so fun. Paired with the cape coat, I really feel like you can't go wrong with this Christmas outfit. 

What are you guys planning on wearing for Christmas? Something red? Green? Black? Pajama's?? (I just got some Ninja Turtles Christmas pajamas and I feel like they'd be perfect for the occasion!)

Merry (almost) Christmas!

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')
