Missing those summer days

Hey everyone! Now that most people have already started school, I think its safe to say that once in a while you just get into these stressful days where you feel that your not going to be able to make it this year! For me being in highschool, the stress of getting good grades and getting into a good college is overwhelming. There's so much homework and test to study it seems that I never have time to do any of activities that I love, such as hanging out with friends and family, blogging, and even just relaxing and doing some yoga. When I feel this way I just take a minute and reminisce on the memories and pictures of summer. So this is a pretty pointless blog but I thought I would just share with you how I was feeling and show you some pictures from my summer. If your not into this whole non-makeup/fashion/beauty post its all good, a fashion post will be up next so come back soon(:
So this summer I went to Washington D.C with my family and my best friend so it was an amazing experience! If you haven't gone and you were considering it I definetley reccomend it! Being honest at first when my mom told me that we were going I was all that thrilled because I thought it would be historial and boring but boy was I way off!









Thanks for reading!

Brown Fall Face

Ay! W@Z up mY p33pz? .... I am so sorry you had to read that. I apologize for my weirdness. But any way's the reason I wrote that is because I hate when people talk like that! I understand when your in middle school and your trying to be ghetto and cool but after middle school, I'm talking high school and college, there is just no need for that. I mean c'mon people, do you actually think you sound cool? Sorry about that whole little complaining intro, if it even counts as one.
For today's tutorial I wanted to do a look I have been seeing a lot in the fall fashion issues, a brown face. Now when I say brown I literally mean a brown face but I promise it comes out totally awesome and pretty. I love just having that brown pretty face and just wearing it with a high bun. Totally fashionable and effortless which are my two favorite adjectives.

Products used:
Face-
*Almay pureblends liquid base
*N.Y.C Powdercompact in Warm Beige
*Benefit erase paste in No. 2
*E.l.f matte bronzer in cheeks
Eyes-
*L.A Colors Traditional Palette
*Ulta eyeshadow base
*Covergirl LashBlast Mascara in waterproof
*Lips-
*Ulta Iced Cappuccino
*dupe^WetnWild 547B
or if you don't want have a lipstick in the nude range
*E.l.f concealer in apricot beige
*Gilly Hicks in Bisque








Steps:
1)Do your normal face routine to cover any blemishes or discoloration. I used foundation, put concealer on my blemishes, and then set it all with a powder.
2)On your cheeks, use a matte bronzer as a blush. If you don't have a bronzer available with you just use a powder that is one to two skin tones darker then your current skin color.
3)Prime eyes with an eyeshadow primer or base.
4)Use a skin tone matte to satin finish eyeshadow on your eyes. The reason you don't want it to be to gliterry is because this look is very neutral and soft so you don't want to have harsh features which will throw off this look. A little shimmer is all good you just don't want to have to sparkly of an eye.
5)Bring that same color down under your lash line.
6)Use a mascara on your upper and lower eyelashes. Make sure your not using a clumpy mascara because it will take away from the look.
7)Use a nude or brown toned lipstick on your lips. If you don't have a color in that range and you don't want to buy one I have a little tip for you. Put chap stick all over your lips, this will help with the creasing and the chapness of your lips. Put a little bit of concealer on your lips( I know your thinking concealer's for your face not your lips) but trust me it will be fine! Next,take either a clear beige color lipgloss and put a tiny bit on just so your lips don't look like your a corpse.
8)Wear this makeup with your favourite fall outfit and go out for a fun night in the town!

How to get the perfect red pout!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great week and are having an amazing three day weekend! I know I'm excited about it. But I have so many idea's coming up for the blog so make sure you're following! Enough rambling today's post is all about how to get the perfect red pout. I love wearing red lips for fall because I feel like it makes you look glamorous and beatiful. So many celeberties and fashion icons rock the red lip like








To get red lips all you have to do is follow this simple three steps, that's right only three steps to totally changing up your makeup look.

Products I used:


Steps:
1) Line your lips. Im lining my lips with Ulta lipliner in Fleash. The color I am using is very similar to my lip's color so I just use it to make my lips more defined.



2)Next, use a red lipstick. Im using N.Y.C in 309B in Sheer Red. Im not a fan of the N.Y.C's lipstick's becasue the lipstick is in a rounded shape so it make's it extremley easy to go out of your lipline. The formula, color, and price though I love.

3)Now this step is optional but I like to always have glossy lips so I put a gloss over the redlipstick just to complete the look. Im using a gilly hicks lipgloss in ColdWatermelon and I love the color and smell but the only negative I have is it's just a little sticky.

Wa-La! Beautiful Red lips!
