Make Up Favorites

Disclaimer: I am no make up professional.

I am here today to tell you about my favorite make up products! This is what I use as a natural look when I do wear make up.

1.bareMinerals Prime Time I never used a primer until I bought the bareMinerals start box. This has changed my experience with make up. I used to feel like by the end of the day all of my make up had worn off. Now it stays on all day!

2.Mary Kay TimeWise Matte-Wear I just started using this foundation. I like the way it looks and feels on my face. It provides the coverage I want without looking to made up.

3.Buxom Amplified Lash Mascara I got this mascara in a Sephora mascara gift set with 20 other mascaras. I love the brush and the way it gets every eye lash.

4.bareMineral Original Foundation When I want to just even out my skin I use this foundation. I also use it on top of the Mary Kay. This foundation also acts as a concealer with the bareMineral concealing brush! While I like the Mary Kay if I only had a choice of 1 I would choose the bareMinerals.

5.Elf Pink Passion The best part about this blush? Its $3 from Target! Plus it looks awesome and like you spent more than just $3.

6.Mary Kay blush in Sparkling Cider I like the natural look of this blush.

7.Jumbo Gloss Balm in Ruby Twist This feels more like a lipstick then gloss but honestly it doesn't really feel like anything!

8. Maybelline Eyeshadown in bronze haze These eye shadows are get from a neutral look.

9. Clinique Make Up Remover Great for removing your raccoon eyes after washing your face!

My make up can range from simple foundation and mascara to going all out! One thing that I never use is eyeliner. I hate the way it makes my eyes look. What are your favorite make up products?

Wedding Planning

Hello Lovelies!

I got engaged Christmas Eve! 

We are getting married October 11, 2013! I could not be happier right now. There are a few things I wish were different but I guess everything can't go the way you want it. So as of right now we have the church and reception locations booked! I have the dress I want picked out but I will continue to shop because I want to be 100% sure. Maybe I should just accept the fact that I got lucky and fell in love with the second dress I tried on but when else is it appropriate to try on beautiful dresses? So now that we are moving on to the smaller details it feel like I go back and forth before I make a decision. From bridesmaid dress colors to flowers there are soooo many options! I never realize how many details their were. I'm extremely lucky that my fiancé is patient. He even came to a bridal show with me and liked it.  So does anyone have any tips for wedding planning??

2013

HAPPY 2013!
I'm super excited for 2013! I have so many life changing events that will happen in 2013.
1) Graduation
2) Moving away
3) Hopefully getting a teaching job before the new school year begins.
and finally my favorite
4) Marrying my best friend!

I can easily see 2013 being my favorite year ever! I can't wait to see what each day has in store for me.

What To Wear: Christmas

Hello Fashionistas!

Christmas is 12 days away! Guess who hasn't bought any gifts yet?? THIS GIRL! I shop better under pressure anyway. So this Christmas for me will be a special one so I feel like I need something special to wear. Living in Louisiana makes it impossible to plan what to wear for christmas. This morning it was 32 but will warm up to the mid 60s and this weekend has 70s in the forecast! So do I wear a cute sweater, jeans and boots or do I wear a dress plus or minus the tights? So until the day gets closer I will not buy anything. But I will be glad to show you my options.

So what do you plan on wearing on Christmas day?

Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Helloo Fashionistas!
I hope you all survived Black Friday! My Black Friday was boring. I only went to Hobby Lobby and I didn't buy anything! Why you ask? Oh I was broke! Why can't Black Friday be after finals when I have sold my books back and have some extra cash!! You know what is worst than Black Friday? Cyber Monday! At least I can avoid looking at sales on Black Friday but on Cyber Monday my inbox gets flooded! Of the 41 emails only 2 were non cyber Monday deals. Oh well! Look out next black Friday! I will have a big girl job!!

High Five for Friday

Hello Fashionistas!

I got a special request for a High Five for Friday post from my #1 reader. Hi Ashley!! So since its been awhile I'm going to expand this to beyond just this week.

1) Halloween was our 4 year anniversary. Its been a long journey but I wouldn't want it to be with anyone else! I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us.

2) How cute is this guy?? 

3) This AWESOME dress I bought at Francescas for our anniversary dinner. I love the bows on the back.

4) We have had some "cold" days that made wearing boots appropriate.

5) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY! You are the greatest sister every. I have learned so much from you. I am so lucky to have you as my sister and my bestfriend. Even though you wont be moving with me to NOLA I know you will be there with my in my heart and constantly blowing up my phone with text messages! I love you.

Advice

Because sometimes we need a pick me up in the middle of the week!
