Ipsy Unboxing: March 2016 ☘

Hi everybody! I received my ipsy bag fairly early this month, on the 10th I believe, so I come to you guys today with my ipsy unboxing for the month of March. This is only my second month using this subscription service, and I already love it. If you don’t know what Ipsy is, it’s a website where you take a little quiz (to get information like eye color, hair color, what skin problems you have, etc.) then by just paying $10 a month, you get a little bag with personalized sample products in it. Ipsy also tends to have more full sized products in it. It comes once a month, about mid-month, and you get 5 samples in it to try out. I think this is a super cool idea if you want to try more beauty products, hair products, skin products, and more, especially higher-end ones, but don’t want to shell out a lot of money for it if you don’t know how it works. 

Now let’s get into my post!
  
So from following Ipsy on Instagram, I saw that they came out with 3 colors of Ipsy bags for March and I got the green and red-orange one. It’s a pretty basic bag, with a rose pattern and a simple material. The theme for this month was hello spring, since spring is coming up and that excited me for some new (hopefully) brightly colored products.
  
The first thing I got in my Ipsy bag is this Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco 3 Day Smoothing Cream by Marc Anthony. I had heard great thing about this brand before, and I had yet to receive a hair product in my Ipsy bag so I was super excited to try this. And I absolutely love it! It claims to smooth and almost straighten hair for up to three days. I used this how the directions said, and I was amazed at the results. My hair has a bit of a natural wave to it, but it isn’t near curly. When I used this, I noticed that my hair was much straighter than usual. I don’t know how it would work on people with wavier or curly hair, but for this purpose it works wonderfully for me. It also hydrates my hair, making it look as if I got it styled and washed at a salon. It made my hair very glossy and smooth. And since I have moderately thick, long hair, my hair tends to feel heavy, but this made my hair feel lightweight. Since this product worked so well for me, I decided to look up how much a full prices size would be because it would be something I would purchase myself. I was expecting it to be expensive, but I was surprised at how affordable it is. It retails for about $8 at full size, and is sold in Ulta and Rite-Aid. Overall, this is a really great product I would recommend to almost everyone, and especially for people who have dry hair and split ends. 

  

The next thing I recieved was this Evologie Intensive Blemish Serum. I have extremely sensitive skin, and I didn’t know how I would react to it, so sadly I couldn’t use this and had to pass it along to someone else. 

   
 
The third item in my Ipsy bag was this Mannakadar Beauty Eyeshadow in Fantasy. I had never heard of this brand before, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a pressed eyeshadow, which I prefer way more than loose powders, and it’s a gorgeous shimmery nude color. It’s extremely pigmented, in the swatch above I only swiped it on once. And it feels like a very nice, high quality product. I like how universal this color is, and you can wear it everyday. 

 
  
  
Lip and Cheek Pencil by  Nude Stix in Mystic  
 

I was interested in this product at first, since I had never tried anything like this before. But when I swatched it, I could already tell I didn’t like it. The color is very nice, but it has a formula that I absolutely hated for some reason. I would not recommend this to be used on the cheeks, because this has a formula that just seems like it should go on the lips. It’s a very thick, heavy, sticky, nondrying product. The color is gorgeous, but there’s nothing else I liked about it. It doesn’t seem like a lipstick to me, but it’s unlike any lip product I’ve ever used. It never fully dries on the lips like lipstick does, and is very sticky on the lips. Overall, I’m pretty disappointed with this product (honestly I threw it away after the first use), but Ipsy is about trying new products. 

   
   
Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Pink Lust/ Passion Rose. 

This last product was the one I was most excited for. I’ve been wanting to try some of Nyx’s new lip products for a while, so when I saw this I was psyched. I know that this is a very affordable product, ranging from about $3-5 in CVS Pharmacy so I love that I got the chance to try it out before buying it without knowing how it works on me. I love Nyx’s original cream lipsticks, so I was hoping that this would have a similar formula. It’s a beautiful bright pink color, great for spring and summer. It’s very creamy, and easy to apply. It only took one application to get the perfect pigmentation. After about 4 hours, it gets a bit drying but that’s not anything major since most lipsticks do that anyway. Then after about 6 hours, it starts flaking towards the inner parts of the lips, but it can be easily reapplied. Overall, this is a beautiful product I would definitely buy with my own money. 

That’s all for my March Ipsy! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time. 

Get Ready With Me: Sadie Hawkins Dance

Hey everybody! My school had a Sadie Hawkins Dance last night, so I thought that I would post my outfit, hair, and makeup.  I hope this helps to inspire you guys for any spring dances or formal events you may be going to. Let’s get started!

Outfit:

White, Orange, and Pink Floral High-Necked Dress: Papaya, $21

So my dress is this gorgeous floral dress. I love the high neckline, and the pattern. I was also really happy to get such a nice dress for only $21.

For shoes, I wore these simple white faux-snakeskin almond-toed flats I got from Charlotte Russe, for about $8 ( see my spring haul post for more details)

 

 

Hair:

 

I found this idea for my hair on Pinterest, and I tried it and it doesn’t quite look how it was supposed to, but I think it still looks pretty.

This is what the tutorial is in case you want to try it:

 

Makeup:

(The second pic is my friend and I but I covered her face for privacy )

 

Routine-

1: First I primed my face with Maybelline Master Prime Blur+ Redness Control Primer.

2: I applied my foundation, and I used a mixture of L’Oréal Visible Lift Blur Foundation and L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation to more accurately match my skin tone.

3: I then applied some eye primer on my eyelids, and some concealer for touch ups all over my face. I also applied some under-eye concealer and set it with elf’s High Definition Undereye Setting Powder to prevent smearing and smudging.

4: Next I applied my Milani Illuminating Face Powder in Hermosa Rose as a bronzer, and added some blush and blended it in.

5: Then I applied some eyeshadow from an elf palette. (I believe I got the palette from Target for about $10) I used a nude, pink glimmer color as a base and applied a metallic copper color to the outer edge of my eyelid, and blended it into the crease.

6: I then applied some Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black with an angled brush, making it winged.

7: Next I applied some Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Full Fan Effect Mascara to my top and bottom eyelashes.

8: Lastly, I finished my makeup look with some Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick in Wild Orchid, which is a beautiful pearly bright pink color.

 

That’s all for today’s post! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time. And stay tuned, I have some exciting blog posts coming up!

 

Spring Haul 2016| American Eagle, Bath and Body Works+ More

Hello everyone! Spring is fast approaching, and I’m so happy about it because I’m tired of this cold weather. Since spring is almost here, all of the spring clothing is coming into stores. I haven’t gone shopping for a while, but I went shopping today so you know what that means. Today I come to you guys with a haul post! This is one of my favorite posts to do, so let’s get started! 

American Eagle

  

Red Sheer Dress, on sale for $16, originally $40

I only got one thing from American Eagle because their clothes are a bit pricey for me, but I got this on sale so that was awesome. I think this is a nice, simple piece that can be dressed up or down for any season. 

Bath and Body Works

If you guys know me, and have been reading my posts for a while you know that I have a bit of a problem with candles. I love them, so of course when I saw the new ones at Bath and Body Works I couldn’t resist. The candles pictured below are all the smallest size of candle, which are $4.50 each. 

  
I smelled this candle a few months ago, but they only had it in the largest size which was too expensive for me, so when I saw this mini one today in the store I got super excited. It has a very subtle, refreshing scent with sweet, almost sugary undertones.
  
This candle’s title pretty much explains the general scent of it, but I’ll describe it more in-depth in case you may want to buy it but aren’t sure. When I smell this, it reminds me of a tropical beach and tropical fruits. It’s a perfect fruity summer scent. 
  

I absolutely love this scent, it’s probably my favorite candle out of all that I bought today. It has a strong sweet peachy scent, mingled with citrus notes. This is amazing for spring and summer. 
  
This is a pretty girly scent. It has a strong perfumed, floral scent that is relaxing and reminds me of the month of April. 

Papaya

  

White high-necked sheer floral dress, $21

I have a thing for floral prints, and this one drew me in. My school has a dance coming up in the beginning of March, so this is perfect for that. I’ve also noticed that clothing with high necklines is becoming very trendy. 

  
 Peach and White High-Necked Pleated Tank Top, $10

I love these colors together for spring and summer, and when I saw that this was on sale for just $10, I knew I needed it. 

  
Button-Down Denim Skirt, $18

I’ve noticed that lately faux suede and denim button-down skirts have been quite trendy lately, and since I already have a faux suede one, I really wanted a denim one. Plus, it’s a wardrobe basic and you can match it with almost anything. 

  
Peach Floral Sheer Romper, $24

I think rompers are so adorable for the warmer weather! And as I said before, I do have a thing for floral prints so my outfits tend to circle around florals for spring. This is actually not something I would typically wear, just because I don’t wear these colors much, but I believe I saw this used in an outfit on Instagram the other day, and I really liked it. Lately I’ve been really trying to wear things I wouldn’t normally go for, and expand my fashion comfort zone in a way so this will definitely help me. 

Charlotte Russe

  

Blue, Mint Green, and White Push-Up Bikini Top, $20

I just recently learned that I’m going to the outer banks over spring break, so I tried to keep that in mind while shopping today and then I saw this. This looks a lot like the bathing suits from Triangl, but this one was way cheaper. I especially like that a strap is included because if it weren’t, then this would not stay up on my chest. I have a pretty small chest, so a bikini top like this is very flattering on me. 

  
Taupe Lace-Up Flats, $25

I’ve been really loving the whole lace-up shoes trend, and since I didn’t have any I decided to grab a pair. I was going to get a red pair, but a friend convinced me to get a neutral color like this because it matches a lot. 

  
White Faux Snakeskin Almond-Toe Flats, $8 (shoes were buy one, get one $8)

Since the shoes were on sale, I got another pair. I think these are very simple and practical. And since I didn’t own any white shoes, these were great for me. 

   

  
 
Royal Blue High-Necked Embellished Keyhole Tank Top, $15

This is a bit more dressy than most of the items I bought. I could see myself wearing this for dinner out with family or perhaps a date in the future. I absolutely love this royal blue color, it’s such a pretty jewel tone. The keyhole along with the embellishments are beautiful, unique features. 

   
 
Black and Maroon Sheer Pattern Crop Top, $5 (on sale)

I wear these colors all the time, so I loved this top. I found it in the clearance section, and I was amazed at the price. I especially like how this is a very subtly cropped top, so it’s easy to wear with almost anything. 

   

  
 
White Sheer Patterned Slit-Sleeve V-Neck Shift Dress, $30

This is also another item that I normally wouldn’t pick out for myself, but I thought it was really cute. The sheer, loose material and light color scheme are great for the warmer weather. I also thought the slit sleeves were an interesting addition to this dress. 

That’s all for today’s post. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time!

If Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlen
Summary: 

If he had been with me everything would have been different…

I wasn’t with Finn on that August night. But I should’ve been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it’s not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know- the cause of the argument- is crucial. So let me tell you…

The Angel of Death by Alane Ferguson 

Summary: 

Cameryn took a sharp breath, then pushed through the doorway.  In the corner of the room stood an oak sleigh bed, and in the middle of the bed were the remains of Mr. Oakes. His limbs were at odd angles, like gnarled branches of trees, the legs contracted so tight his knees made steeples beneath the cotton sheet. She could see the tip of his tongue protruding. It was a strange color, a dark gray, extending beyond his lips, a shriveled turtle’s  head of a tongue peeking from the edge of his mouth. But that wasn’t the horror of it. When her mind finally registered the picture, she wished, in that instant, that she’d listened to Sheriff Jacobs. Because she was looking down at a face that was no longer there. A mask, like that from a horror show, replaced the face that she had known. Skin, no longer smooth like her teacher had worn in life, had now withered to the bones. Blood seeped down his teeth like painted lashes. But the worst was his eyes. The lids of his eyes had rolled back like window shades, revealing two dark holes. The eye sockets were empty. 

Splintered by A.G. Howard

Summary: 

Alyssa Gardner hears the thoughts of plants and animals. She hides her delusions for now, but she knows her fate: she will end up like her mother, in an institution. Madness has run in her family ever since her great-great-great-grandmother Alice Liddell told Lewis Carroll her strange dreams, inspiring his classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But perhaps she’s not mad. And perhaps Caroll’s stories aren’t as whimsical as they first seem. To break the curse of insanity, Alyssa must go down the rabbit hole and right the wrongs of Wonderland, a place full of strange things with dark agendas. Alyssa brings her real-world crush-the protective Jeb-with her, but once her journey begins, she’s torn between his solidity and the enchanting, dangerous magic of Morpheus, her guide to Wonderland. But no one in Wonderland is who they seem to be-not even Alyssa herself…

An App called Remix by Polyvore

iTunes download link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/polyvore-remix-outfits-styling/id954637569?mt=8

 
This app is amazing! It’s a free app that helps you make and discover outfits. It shows daily trends and when you select one, you can then select an item from that category, and the app will generate an outfit for you. You can like the outfits, or press remix for some more. If you like an outfit, it will be saved so you can look at it later. This is great for me because if I find an item of clothing that is similar to what I have, I can remix outfits and get more inspiration for outfits with that clothing item. I use this app almost daily, and you guys would too if you would get it. 
That’s all for my May Favorites! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time! 

OOTD: Eating in With Family

Hi everybody! Today I wanted to show you guys my outfit that I wore on Sunday. We were celebrating my grandma’s birthday and we ordered Italian food then went to my great-grandma’s house.

   
    Sheer Cream Paisley Shoulder-Cutout Dress with Slip- Ross, $20

Brown Lace-Up Wedge Sandals- Dressbarn, $35
This is a more boho-chic casual-dressy look that I am super proud of, and I think it’s super cute. I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time! 

4 Strand Lace-Up Braid

Hello Everyone! Today I went shopping with my friend for a dress for my formal school dance. So I’m super excited to make a post for getting ready for formal night later this month. Anyways, today I’m going to show you guys how to do this cool hairstyle I discovered. I found the directions for a braid on Pinterest, but it I looked totally different when I did it so I’ll just tell you my way of doing it. Let’s get started! 
Step 1: Part your hair to the side. 

Step 2: On the side of your part with more hair, grab a 1-inch section in the front, divide it in two, then divide those sections in two. 

Step 3: The easiest way to think of doing this is to number each section from left to right, 1-4. 

Step 4: Take section 4 and put it over section 3. Then take section 2 and put it over one, then wrap it under one and over section 4 (which will be in the right side of the middle at this point) 

Step 5: Renumber the sections left to right, 1-4, and repeat step 4 until you get to a stopping point. 

Step 6: Secure the braid with some bobby pins, and put a cute bow or clip over them if you would like.  
The finishing result: 

  
This little braid is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and it looks super cute for school. I love this for a more casual day. I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time! 

8 Runway Trends You Need to Try this Spring

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show you guys some stylish looks from the spring 2015 runway. I hope these styles will inspire you and that you will try them out.
#1: Gladiator Sandals

I love these sandals. They are a great way to add a bit of edge to a girly outfit on a hot day. I have a short pair of them because I’m not brave enough to wear the knee-high ones. I have seen these a lot and I know that this is one of the top trends this season. 
 Alexander McQueen Spring 2015

  Chloé Spring 2015 
  

Valentino Spring 2015

#2: Metallic Sandals

These are great statement shoes! They’re relaxed and casual enough for hot spring days, yet shiny and metallic like jewelry so you can dress up or dress down an outfit. 

 
Peter Som Spring 2015
  Just Cavalli Spring 2015

#3: Platform Sandals

These shoes tend to be a more modern, sporty look which I don’t wear much but for some reason, I am infatuated with them. They also are usually super comfortable, even if they don’t look like it. 

  
Creatures of the Wind Spring 2015
 
Derek Lam Spring 2015

#4: Bold Tropicals and Florals

Everybody knows that floral print is pretty much the epitome of spring fashion. But now tropical prints are in style, and I am obsessed! It is currently my favorite clothing pattern and I think it adds a cute vibe to any outfit. 
  
Osklen Spring 2015
 
Michael Kors Spring 2015

#5: Bucket Bags

I am also obsessed with bucket bags. I think they are dually cute and functional. I don’t currently have one, but I am saving up since I love them so much. 

 
Ralph Lauren Spring 2015
  

Tony Burch Spring 2015

#6: Gingham Print

To be honest, I’m personally not a big fan of gingham, but it is all over the place in magazines and on the runway. This is a huge trend for this season, and I would recommend for you to try it out if you like it.  
  
Oscar de la Renta Spring 2015
  Diane Von Furstenberg Spring 2015

#8: Bright Little Duffel Bags

These are some bright, boldly colored bags that can hold everything you need. They are a medium-sized bag, and perfect for toting around on a day out. 

 
Fendi Spring 2015
  

Moschino Spring 2015

#8: 70’s inspired fringe

As most of you all probably know, the 70’s are back, and fringe is a perfect way to make your outfit more boho.  I don’t wear fringe much, but I will try more since it’s so popular on the runways. 
  

 

Proenza Schouler Spring 2015 
 
Alberta Ferretti Spring 2015

Those are all of the prominent runway trends this season. I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time! 

 

  

Shoes I Wear in Spring+Summer

Hi guys! Today I wanted to show you some shoes I’ve been wearing this spring and that I’ll be wearing in summertime. I hope to inspire you guys in what shoes you wear. Let’s get started! 
 
Black Silver-Studded Short Gladiator Sandals- Steinmart, $25

These shoes are great for if you want to get into the gladiator sandal trend, and want to look bold without looking too crazy. They add the perfect bit of edginess to a summer outfit. 
 
Purple+ Orange Galaxy Vans- Vans, $50

This is a more casual tennis shoes that can be easily worn with almost anything. Plus the galaxy trend is vey popular. 
  

Rose Gold Sandals- Kmart, $10

Metallic sandals are super stylish this season, and will probably be throughout the summer too. I love rose gold, and I constantly wear sandals or flip flops during the summer so these are great for any outfit. I think these would look nice with a cute romper or jumpsuit. 
  

Brown Lace-Up Wedges- Dressbarn, $35

These shoes are more bohemian, which goes along with 70s/festival type trend going on right now. I think these would look very cute with a flowy dress. 
 
Leopard-Print Cole Haan Sandals- From a friend 

These are definitely some higher-end sandals. I would mostly wear these to dress up an outfit, like if I’m going out to dinner in the summer.  
 
Floral Bow Flats- Target, $18

Floral is an obvious spring and summer trend, and the adorable bows on these flats make this print look even cuter. 
  

  

Mint Almond-Toe Gold Studded Flats- Kohls, $20

Mint green is one of my favorite colors to wear in the spring, and I love how the studs on the back of the flats add a little edginess to an otherwise girly shoe. 
 
Black Platform Sandals- $23

These shoes are definitely more modern than the others. I think they would look especially great with a romper or jumpsuit to make a very modern, streamlined look.  And despite their appearance, these are extremely comfortable and easy to walk in. 
Those are all of my spring and summer shoes. I hope you liked this post, and it inspired you for footwear. See you guys next time!

Books

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

This book is by one of my favorite YouTubers, Zoella, so I wanted to check it out. It turned out to be way better than I thought it would be. I would recommend this book to someone who likes romances and dramas. 

Summary: Penny has a secret. Under the alias Girl Online, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, high school drama, her quirky family, and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse at school, her parents accept an opportunity to whisk the family away for Christmas at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. There, Penny meets Noah, a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly she is falling in love- and capturing every moment she shares with “Brooklyn Boy” on her blog. But Noah has a secret too, one that threatens to ruin Penny’s cover- and her closest friendship- forever. 
Fang Girl by Helen Keeble

This is a hilarious drama about a girl’s “life” as a newly turned vampire. I wouldn’t normally read this type of book because they tend to be kind of cheesy, but this one was incredibly done. I would recommend this to any Young-Adult reader. 
Summary: Sure, the idea of vampires is sexy, but who actually dreams of spending eternity as a pasty, bloodthirsty fifteen- year- old? Not me. Unfortunately, the somewhat psychotic vampire who turned me didn’t bother to ask first. Now I’m dealing with parents who want me to vamp them, a younger brother who’s convinced I’m a zombie, and a seriously ripped vampire hunter who either wants to stake me or make out with me. Not sure which. Oh and PS, none of my favorite fanfic prepared me to deal with vampire politics- which are looking pretty tricky based on the undead Elder trying to hunt me down. What’s a vampire- obsessed fan girl turned real- life fanggirl supposed to do?
Don’t look back by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

Thus book is sort of a crime-drama/ mystery which is my favorite type of book. This was very-well written, and I enjoyed it a lot. 
Summary: Samantha is a stranger in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend, Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all- popularity, wealth, and a dream boyfriend. Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it’s one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took “mean girl” to a whole new level, and it’s clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She’s getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she’s falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her- even when the old Sam treated him like trash. But Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night aren’t just buried deep inside Sam’s memory- someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive? 
Famous last words by Katie Alender

I’ve read one of this author’s books before, and I loved it. I loved this one as well. This is a murder mystery/paranormal mystery. It is upper exciting, and captivating. I would definitely recommend this to people who like mysteries. 
Summary: Willa is freaking out. Lately, it seems she’s seeing things. Like a dead body in her swimming pool. Frantic, scribbled messages on her walls. A reflection that is not her own. It’s almost as if someone- or something- is trying to send her a message. Meanwhile, a killer is stalking Los Angeles- a killer who reenacts famous movie murder scenes with his victims: pretty teenage girls. Could Willa’s strange visions have to do with these unsolved murders? And whom can she confide in? There’s Marnie, her new best friend, who may not be totally trustworthy. And there’s Reed, who’s ridiculously handsome and seems to get Willa. There’s also Wyatt, who’s super-smart but unhealthily obsessed with the Hollywood Killer. All Willa knows is, she has to confront the possible ghost in her house, or she just might lose her mind. And if she doesn’t untangle the mystery of the Hollywood Killer… She just might lose her life. 
Beauty

 
Elf eye primer & liner sealer, $3

So far I have only tried the eye primer side, because I’m not sure if I what to make some eyeshadow like liquid eyeliner, but this stuff is amazing. It’s the best eye primer I have ever used. I put this on, then put on eyeshadow yesterday and went to school. When I got home I checked to see if it had worked, and the eyeshadow stayed on for a full 7-8 hours. 
   
 

Maybelline New York Lipstck in Make Me Pink- $7

I am in love with this lipstick color! It is a mix between purple and pink, which is a perfect shade for spring. 

Here is what it looks like on:

 

Miscellaneous 

 
Floral Bouquet Candle- Target, $3 

This candle has such cute packaging! It also has a sweet, subtle flower scent that is great for spring. It’s also perfect for people who don’t like strong or overpowering candles.

 
Two-year Planner- Target, $1

I use this planner for organizing my blog posts. I write down what I think I will do for my post on which day so I can keep track of my ideas. I also love how this is for two years, so I can do the same next year. 
That’s all for my April Favorites! I hope you guys enjoyed my post, and see you next time!
