<br />
Hello everyone!! I know I've taken a few months off from blogging but I am back :) This winter has been so harsh and I just couldn't bring myself to shoot OOTDs outside, so once I gave that up for the winter, my blogging went along with it. But now the weather is starting to get (somewhat) warmer so I've been inspired again and am back with a makeup tutorial. Today was a lazy day off for me so I went with my typical "no makeup" makeup routine. Basically, this is just how I do my makeup whenever I know I am not going anywhere special, or when I am just hanging around the house and I just want to wear minimal makeup. You can't really tell I'm wearing a full face of makeup because I apply it in a way to make it look as natural and possible. The goal of this routine is not to look super glamorous, but to cover up any imperfections such as uneven skin tone, acne, and dark circles. <br />
<br />
Step 1:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUZa8xlTW02ZkZGDeuUfQlIWZaujyQ53cYiFUN-ySuur1HT0t-nrdVzihhxJhNECELm52KjR57dnbu0dwzna1GxY8l5WcCa5yzh_ABDW7ZU2fcESy3g-Ct7Cyu3MsDbJzvfsGvZK60ww/s1600/BenefitThatGal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUZa8xlTW02ZkZGDeuUfQlIWZaujyQ53cYiFUN-ySuur1HT0t-nrdVzihhxJhNECELm52KjR57dnbu0dwzna1GxY8l5WcCa5yzh_ABDW7ZU2fcESy3g-Ct7Cyu3MsDbJzvfsGvZK60ww/s1600/BenefitThatGal.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, you want to start off with a primer to create a base for your foundation to go on flawlessly and last longer. This will also prevent foundation from settling into fine lines and wrinkles. Most primers have special purposes, like Benefit "That Gal" which is a brightening primer to brighten up your complexion if your skin is looking dull. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWhqCy4hyphenhyphenay07d5tZr9l4txX6GAJyEwzXA2SEOfFRov-V5wds_Gcwvd0-nxCHGj_kLUiHXCoRscqsV7NCm-O36E6eOtt8SM_L9Zr7aDEH1_DUbBvWrBOL81oeB4Rva_l1GZNWhWv9kQA/s1600/PondsBBcream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWhqCy4hyphenhyphenay07d5tZr9l4txX6GAJyEwzXA2SEOfFRov-V5wds_Gcwvd0-nxCHGj_kLUiHXCoRscqsV7NCm-O36E6eOtt8SM_L9Zr7aDEH1_DUbBvWrBOL81oeB4Rva_l1GZNWhWv9kQA/s1600/PondsBBcream.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On days when I don't want to do a full-on makeup routine, I opt for a BB cream rather than a heavy foundation. What I really love about this BB cream in particular is that it gives really great coverage without feeling heavy like a foundation. It also has a satin finish, as opposed to other BB creams that I have tried that tend to make you look oily. I always apply this with my <a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Flat_Angled_Kabuki_F84_p/f88.htm" target="_blank">Sigma F88 brush</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwUZTJ-_pKcEH6owKZPNHWDreIuInzspuP4oG1JfLkNjir9BAI67CORiVVx6nfN_GqSq65XrS2vQx7C73aRgipvFD0cmCJG2Z5RAfjnqbxlYdEeFJ026THDSh3njfhGzRrtg8wlyX7A/s1600/CovergirlTruBlend.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwUZTJ-_pKcEH6owKZPNHWDreIuInzspuP4oG1JfLkNjir9BAI67CORiVVx6nfN_GqSq65XrS2vQx7C73aRgipvFD0cmCJG2Z5RAfjnqbxlYdEeFJ026THDSh3njfhGzRrtg8wlyX7A/s1600/CovergirlTruBlend.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use this concealer because it is quick and easy to apply. All you do is draw this on underneath your eyes and down the side of your nose, connecting it and filling it in, in the shape of a triangle (hopefully you can visualize what I am talking about just by reading it!) I usually just blend this out with my fingers. I'm going to be honest.. this isn't the absolute best concealer I've used but I like how the stick is easy to apply and it does the job of hiding my undereye circles. Sometimes this concealer does crease, so be sure to set it with a powder, like this one:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Owt449TXaKGDJDebw1VQ11rB1pLae8bI6XUmKwb95mCl93CsPEJ6hfnOgjlYTK86Dweegk7uRj81LeVUgVASYDeckwdt8jsfcqQtjzKcdNrpo0Ddj7i4Xvpx6nXIKIW_jnhBoZrS6A/s1600/MacShapingPowder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Owt449TXaKGDJDebw1VQ11rB1pLae8bI6XUmKwb95mCl93CsPEJ6hfnOgjlYTK86Dweegk7uRj81LeVUgVASYDeckwdt8jsfcqQtjzKcdNrpo0Ddj7i4Xvpx6nXIKIW_jnhBoZrS6A/s1600/MacShapingPowder.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the powder I use to set my undereye concealer. This gives a really nice brightening effect and also prevents my concealer from moving or creasing at all. I apply this with my <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4260019" target="_blank">Real Techniques Setting Brush</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7lPtkfyHcMhkJCPQV0Cxz7Hy36eJV10UWWM0v-iz_n43A3Xy4rPtvOnxgtmxaCHPBDa-r-Cw2cro7Or1_FeZNcE_mT5sUhs3asf1votkIwvAA5xXqORQodUNb3rQWfShRCtmx00uL7g/s1600/MacMSF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7lPtkfyHcMhkJCPQV0Cxz7Hy36eJV10UWWM0v-iz_n43A3Xy4rPtvOnxgtmxaCHPBDa-r-Cw2cro7Or1_FeZNcE_mT5sUhs3asf1votkIwvAA5xXqORQodUNb3rQWfShRCtmx00uL7g/s1600/MacMSF.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dust this powder lightly on my cheeks, chin and nose area with my <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3220069&categoryId=cat80088%20cat80084" target="_blank">Real Techniques Buffing Brush.</a> This is where my foundation tends to break up the most and I have dry skin, so I don't apply this to my whole face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixBGhNici7D_0npLqmyejFBS82i-JN9R7IINuLEdMDy9kQF0cfe7xxU8THgkeDmX6IyhCPokAWMhxrbF8-OcWVolWkLO81uzFOLohpfjS9k8-X5BvVmOyH2yEdKCExKwQsP5ALD_RusQ/s1600/BenefitHoola.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixBGhNici7D_0npLqmyejFBS82i-JN9R7IINuLEdMDy9kQF0cfe7xxU8THgkeDmX6IyhCPokAWMhxrbF8-OcWVolWkLO81uzFOLohpfjS9k8-X5BvVmOyH2yEdKCExKwQsP5ALD_RusQ/s1600/BenefitHoola.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of doing a complete contour, I sweep this bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks, sides of my forehead and along my jawline with my <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3220067" target="_blank">Real Techniques Blush Brush</a>, just to bring some color to my (extremely pale) face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 7:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTTD-uakmBX3KehsElFXP4znNNGadWqOxc_pmkiFCfceaWuU826APDOeUkfoIS_M7SDaYchirMoWxaxdlgR3wTp2-TgFf_pbljZACtFWUwn2HmvqaulsCVp2-2XV6n57_cS-RK6v682Q/s1600/BenefitDandelion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTTD-uakmBX3KehsElFXP4znNNGadWqOxc_pmkiFCfceaWuU826APDOeUkfoIS_M7SDaYchirMoWxaxdlgR3wTp2-TgFf_pbljZACtFWUwn2HmvqaulsCVp2-2XV6n57_cS-RK6v682Q/s1600/BenefitDandelion.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blush is one thing that I am constantly switching out and experimenting with, but recently I have been loving Benefit Dandelion. I usually stick with a light blush color when I wear minimal makeup, and this one really compliments my skin tone. I apply this to the apples of my cheeks and back to my temples with my <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3220069&categoryId=cat80088%20cat80084" target="_blank">Real Techniques Contour Brush</a>. I blend it out with my Buffing Brush again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 8:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVR5PlqQc9F568p8SYywZtjEux_9UNylfBb9b4h5XC9HcWElqrAOljuJ9a4h_bpf97HRZ86jzqIwD-nfG5iOQp-FAkIwl1l8RXvRTUKl3hedU00JHWEv5kEJ4Ia3vhUUJf998DowbGg/s1600/BenefitGimmeBrow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVR5PlqQc9F568p8SYywZtjEux_9UNylfBb9b4h5XC9HcWElqrAOljuJ9a4h_bpf97HRZ86jzqIwD-nfG5iOQp-FAkIwl1l8RXvRTUKl3hedU00JHWEv5kEJ4Ia3vhUUJf998DowbGg/s1600/BenefitGimmeBrow.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love filling in my eyebrows, but on lazy days like today I skip that step and instead just use Benefit Gimme Brow. This product is pretty unique in that it is a one-step brow product that shapes, fills in and sets your brows all at once. It has a tiny wand that looks like a mascara wand, and all you do is dip the wand in the product and brush it through your brows. Of course, it's not going to shape them perfectly but on days like today, that isn't really necessary. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 9:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkEpX9bEfYMdMcRHh1S27p9xMK8JkeCgSOzaeMUj9vSJ1Ny7H1QapMA54ef0QsuKNhtTjSL6F9T3oLPxdbzh4l6ImK-6A3sx4gd3wWPumAVWyxj2daI5GPmzyb1u5vbTgUkTdY_OFNPQ/s1600/RimmelScandaleyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkEpX9bEfYMdMcRHh1S27p9xMK8JkeCgSOzaeMUj9vSJ1Ny7H1QapMA54ef0QsuKNhtTjSL6F9T3oLPxdbzh4l6ImK-6A3sx4gd3wWPumAVWyxj2daI5GPmzyb1u5vbTgUkTdY_OFNPQ/s1600/RimmelScandaleyes.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I apply this nude eyeliner in my waterline. I love this product because it really brightens and opens up my eyes. My eyes are usually always red and I find that putting on foundation and concealer emphasizes the redness in my eyes, so I always use this nude liner to eliminate the redness. Again, this looks very natural because it is skin-colored and just adds to the "no makeup" makeup look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 10:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRNzAeuJgNpm1u9EYcoqe7E2hVsmhHmWIjMXacTIotRNR9Mnr_XTBmpG7rTIm-_fzt1FKc7LWwKgEVz6AQzH19Eeej4c6GPOEaGvfEk_GqhYKAnwujo_gcmKagE1VDG3vslNWHlPHn-Q/s1600/BuxomMascara.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRNzAeuJgNpm1u9EYcoqe7E2hVsmhHmWIjMXacTIotRNR9Mnr_XTBmpG7rTIm-_fzt1FKc7LWwKgEVz6AQzH19Eeej4c6GPOEaGvfEk_GqhYKAnwujo_gcmKagE1VDG3vslNWHlPHn-Q/s1600/BuxomMascara.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like blush, I'm always changing my mascara. I've been using this Buxom Amplified Lash Mascara for a while now and I actually really like it. This opens my eyes and makes me look more awake. I like to just focus on making one aspect of my face more dramatic when I am not using a lot of makeup anywhere else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 11:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdP2Czofse6Xq8tbt2aHQTrA5OeKwQbqTGMc5JCp9TSH8tla94mIPf3ChekgMIt0gwCE1m8v2f2YlAQMzuFesyW4b5HMWc5KaVsP3j2RvqOm0tvg-p7mw27A8oJTVJsLf_ISAAdupHOg/s1600/VaselineLipTherapy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdP2Czofse6Xq8tbt2aHQTrA5OeKwQbqTGMc5JCp9TSH8tla94mIPf3ChekgMIt0gwCE1m8v2f2YlAQMzuFesyW4b5HMWc5KaVsP3j2RvqOm0tvg-p7mw27A8oJTVJsLf_ISAAdupHOg/s1600/VaselineLipTherapy.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish off the look, I put on my favorite lip balm instead of any lipstick or lipgloss. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 12:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH1i80FN5l0LP0PW76Qj0l3YF5k2dGoVY8jiByoW8YFSLHWpMvSY95yUA4hpx2jLW1upBVlHsaj0wcs4td6g7Cd9ByMzZiZ8En32aANL9V03rFcuTYqANLkOx6564PhzY2ELcpTk4-lw/s1600/MacFix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH1i80FN5l0LP0PW76Qj0l3YF5k2dGoVY8jiByoW8YFSLHWpMvSY95yUA4hpx2jLW1upBVlHsaj0wcs4td6g7Cd9ByMzZiZ8En32aANL9V03rFcuTYqANLkOx6564PhzY2ELcpTk4-lw/s1600/MacFix.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To set all of the makeup I use MAC Fix+. This helps my makeup last longer and prevents my foundation from looking cakey as the day goes on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all enjoyed this makeup routine! Xo</div>

When I was in middle school, I had the best eyebrow waxer. She always shaped my eyebrows so perfectly and I thought I was one lucky girl because good eyebrow waxers can be hard to find in my opinion. Then one day, she disappeared from the salon she was working at and I never heard from her again. I had to resort to going from nail salon to nail salon to achieve the perfect brow, and anyone who has gotten their brows done at a nail salon knows that they really don't know what they are doing in terms of actually shaping (but for 6 bucks, you can't really complain). I always ended up with uneven brows with absolutely no shape to them, and I was never happy. I always ended up just trying to tweeze them myself because I figured I could do just as good of a job. Finally, earlier this year, I started going the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/brand/boutiqueoverview/browbars" target="_blank">Benefit Brow Bar</a> at Ulta and I've never looked back. If you go to their site you can watch/read in-depth about their approach to everything brows, but long story short: If you want to go to a professional who will shape your brows correctly for your face, invest in a $20 Benefit brow wax. I promise you, it is worth the money. <br />
<br />
You may not realize, but brows are a very important feature for changing the way your entire face can appear. A nicely arched and defined brow can really open up your face, and that is why it is super important to give your brows some TLC. So obviously, the first step to doing so is shaping them. I clearly go with waxing but if you prefer threading, that's fine too. Secondly, filling in your brows to define them and make them stand out is the next important step. I recently started filling in my brows and I cannot go a day without doing it or else I literally feel naked. It really just changes your entire face. Even on days when I'm wearing minimal makeup, I still lightly fill them in. It is also a great tactic for hiding messy brows. At times when I am in dire need of a brow wax, or am trying to grow them out a bit, filling them in makes them look 10x better than leaving them bare. This is because I'm defining them into what I want others to see and making the stray hairs a lot less noticeable.<br />
<br />
Filling in your brows is not a difficult task and I really think it is something everyone should do. Here is a step by step tutorial on how I fill in my brows..any beginner should be able to follow along! <br />
<br />
First things first: Here is a before and after picture. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 1:</b> Brush your hairs with a spoolie brush into the direction that you want the hairs to all flow and into the shape you'd like them to be in. This will help put any stray hairs in place (I know you have all woken up with those crazy brows with the hairs facing in every direction!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 2: </b>Trace along the bottom of your brow with a brow pencil. I use the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod840088" target="_blank">Anastasia Brow Wiz</a> in Brunette. You can see how even just this small step goes a long way in making your brows look much more defined and polished. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 3: </b>Using a brow powder and an angled brush, trace the top of your brow. This is where you can really define your arch, or fake one if yours is not defined enough. For a more defined brow, you can continue this line to the inner portion of your brow, but for a casual everyday look, I usually keep this portion of the brow bare or with very little product. For this step, I use the darker shade of the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=VP12345#" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo</a> in Dark Brown.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 4: </b>Fill in the body of your brow using the same brow powder and angled brush. The outer tail of your brow should be the darkest, and it should gradually fade as you move inwards. For this step, I mix both the light and dark color of the Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Dark Brown. Once you are done, Brush your brows out with a spoolie brush just to make sure everything is evenly blended and then set with a brow gel. I use the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=prod2143893" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once you are done with one brow, repeat for the other brow! One important tip that I've learned along the way and repeatedly heard from the pros is that <b>your brows are sisters, NOT twins. </b>It is going to be nearly impossible to get them looking exactly the same as each other, so don't worry if one has a bigger arch, is thicker, etc. This frequently happens to me but it is not something to stress over! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

It seems like every year, the Christmas season starts earlier, but I'm honestly more than okay with that! I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet...but I figured why not start getting in the holiday spirit. Christmas time comes and goes so fast so gladly I'll take any opportunity to extend it! Today was a perfect day to start decorating my room for Christmas. I love crafting and anything DIY, so I'm always looking for ideas. I found all of these DIY decoration ideas from one of my all-time favorite Youtubers, <a href="http://youtube.com/macbarbie07" target="_blank">Bethany Mota</a>. I spent the day making all of these decorations and this is seriously my idea of a good time, so I know this is just the start of my decorating.

I wasn't kidding when I said in my last post that I was going to get the Bath and Body Works winter candles ASAP, so that's exactly what I did today! Since I had my mind set on winter from the start of today, this definitely influenced my outfit choice. Last night was officially the "first freeze" here on Long Island, so my number one priority today when I got dressed today was staying warm. The accessories really made this outfit since I decided to keep it simple and just go with jeans and a sweater. I added knee socks for a little something extra in terms of style and warmth. These braided headbands are also my new favorite accessory for the winter because not only do they keep your ears warm, they are adorable and come in so many different colors. I am also in love with my new jacket-it keeps me warm and it's a great color for the season! <br />

As I am sitting here typing this, I am currently listening to my Spice Girls Pandora station with my Pumpkin Cupcake candle burning, and I have to say, it is perfection. I had to mention this because I feel it is so fitting for a favorites post, and I really think I need to include this Pandora station to my favorites. It is seriously amazing and I have not skipped one song yet...I suggest you get comfy, light your favorite fall scented candle, and put this station on while you read this post!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has been my holy grail eyeliner for as long as I can remember. I have tried so many other eyeliners- liquid, pencil, gel, you name it- and I always seem to come back to this one. I use it to line my upper lid and wing it out, and I just love the way it glides on smoothly. It is so easy to use and especially to wing out. Some other eyeliner pencils that I have tried are too creamy for winging, but this one is perfect. Not to mention it is super pigmented and very black!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So since I decided that I would include a different candle in my monthly favorites, this month's favorite has been Pumpkin Cupcake! I'm not one of those people who is obsessed with everything pumpkin flavored, but this candle sure does smell good, so I had to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon for this one. Also...I just had a mini heart attack because when I looked up the link for this candle, I saw Bath & Body Works's holiday candles on the website....And now I'm going to the mall this weekend to buy them. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This facial cleanser literally makes me excited to wash my face every night. Not only for the fact that it leaves my face feeling so clean and soft, but mainly because it smells amazing. I can't even describe the smell and I don't know why I'm so in love with it... it really just smells like fresh, clean skin. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You were probably wondering what the heck this was from the picture...I got a free sample from Sephora of the new Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks and it came with 4 shades, one of them being Anarchy. I actually love this lipstick in general and picked up one of the other colors, but I'm soo in love with this color as well and I think I might need to buy the full size version! It is a bright pink-fuschia color, but it is surprisingly very wearable and not too crazy. Plus, it lasted all day long with one application, even through eating. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really can't say enough good things about Sally Hansen nail polishes. I will probably be doing a full review on this product but I needed to mention it in my monthly favorites because, well, it's been my favorite this month! This color is so great for fall and I swear it looks just like an Essie color, except it was half the price. I painted my nails this color and it literally stayed on for almost 2 weeks. Of course it did start to chip, but not as bad as when I get my nails done at the salon.<br />

Ulta was recently having this amazing promotion for OPI nail polish where if you buy two, you get a base coat or top coat free. So obviously, I justified buying 4 nail polishes so I could get the base coat and top coat for free! I've only used them so far with my Sally Hansen polish but I would attribute some of the reason why my most recent manicure did not chip as much to using a great base and top coat.<br />

7. <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4960053" target="_blank">Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector- Fair/Light</a><br />
I used this BB Cream over the summer in a darker shade (when I had a tan) and really liked it so I decided to try it out in the lighter shade to match my pale skin now. I will also probably be doing a full review on this product. I like the way it does not feel heavy on my skin and I have been using it in place of foundation on an every day basis since I got it.<br />
<br />
Happy November!</div>

One of the things that makes fashion so much fun for me is mixing prints
when putting together outfits. It challenges me to think outside of the
box. I love outfits with mixed prints because they look effortless-like
you didn't try- as opposed to outfits that are more "matchy-matchy,"
even though they actually might require a little more thought! Something
to remember when thinking about prints is that stripes can be treated
as a neutral; that was one of the keys to putting together this look.
The print of these pants give me a vintage feel and mixing them with a
black and white stripe adds a little interest to the look. If you want
to branch out and try mixing prints, I recommend starting out with
stripes!</div>

What else could you expect to find me wearing on a lazy Monday other
than sweatpants and a tee? Today was my day off and I spent it just
hanging around the house and doing some errands, so this was a perfect
outfit for both. I love this t-shirt because the quilted leather accents
on the shoulders make it just a little more put-together to go out in
than a plain old t-shirt. It was beautiful out today but still a little
chilly so I threw on my go-to leather jacket that I pretty much live in
during the fall. What's your go-to outfit on a lazy day?<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBd8LmYpN7pOaW6bQSbI64viaXObj1BSgLZ_hosYtiU6fEP0OyDyt-gNfBj6i_vjgqtkn89Y0YaCIcbVxotgB5jF14XS6E4kBvrErIoblRLAaPDZZJD9Bh_7uaANFZuuOxmPJazUgmA/s640/IMG_0672.JPG" width="480" /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is definitely a product I've been loving lately so I really wanted to do a full review on it for you guys. I recently started buying a few Mario Badescu products because I had heard a lot of good things about them. After going through the endless amount of his products at Ulta, I decided to get this mask (and a few other products). It cost $24 for 2 oz but honestly, I've been using this stuff for a few months already and I've barely even made a dent. I can already tell this will last me a very long time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>What it does</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This mask is meant to "reduce hyperpigmentation," "soothe irritation and sensitivity" and "clean congested pores" (as per the Mario Badescu website). The main reason I bought this was to reduce the hyperpigmentation I have left behind on my face from past acne. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Application</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apply a thin layer of this mask 1-2 times per week and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off gently with warm water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>My Review</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have literally been trying to get rid of my hyperpigmentation since high school (if you have hyperpigmentation/acne scars, you know how stubborn they can be). I have tried tons of different products-both high end and from the drugstore, and nothing has worked as well for me as this product. I use it 1-2 times a week and have only been doing so for about 2 months, and I can already see a big improvement in my skin. My hyperpigmentation has definitely faded and I feel like my whole complexion is evening out. I also love to use this mask when I have breakouts because it soothes my skin. It smells great too (almost like raspberries), which is always a plus! There's definitely nothing worse than a bad smelling mask that you have to suffer through for 10 minutes. The only thing I do not like about this product is that it is a bit difficult to wash off. It does take a few minutes to wash off using water. Even when I apply it with my fingers I have to immediately wash it off my hands with warm water, and even that is kind of a struggle after only being on my fingers for a few seconds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Pros</b><b> </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Reduces hyperpigmentation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Soothes skin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Smells good</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Do not need to use a lot of product</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Will last you a long time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Cons</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Difficult to wash off face/hands </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Pricier than most drugstore products</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you found this review helpful! Let me know if you enjoy product reviews and I will definitely start doing more!</div>

biggest trends right now. I love being able to be super comfy and in
style at the same time. That's why I literally cannot stop buying all of
these amazing pants. These ones are my absolute favorite and I think
the fact that they are Whitney Eve makes me love them even more. I grew
up watching The Hills and The City and idolizing Whitney Port so I love
being able to wear things that were actually designed by her. To make
the look a little less casual, I like to wear dressier shirts with these
pants. The look of these pants is definitely different and probably
something most people are not used to, but I really think everyone can
look adorable in them and should definitely keep an open mind and give
them a try.<br />

When I first saw these boots a few months ago, and knew they were Steve Madden, I went on a hunt for them. They were no where to be found! Finally, I stumbled upon them while shopping on the Nordstrom website. I was just looking through the shoe section (for a different pair of boots, actually), and when I saw them, I ordered them right then and there (I really am such an impulsive buyer-it's becoming a problem...) I like to pair these boots with more feminine pieces so I decided to throw on my new favorite floral printed jacket. When I bought this pink beanie I wasn't sure how much use I'd be able to get out of it, but I was very happy that it matched this jacket perfectly and added some more femininity to the look. <br>

One of my absolute favorite fall trends is these silky, slouchy pants. I can't get enough of them. I want them in every color and every print. They are literally so comfortable and I'm obsessed with the way they look, especially with booties or sneakers. My first instinct would normally be to pair these baroque-inspired pants with a solid shirt, but I've been training myself to think outside of the box and mix prints for a more interesting look. The key to mixing prints is to choose pieces with a similar color scheme or a similar "theme" to the print. I decided to pair these pants with a black and white grid printed sweater.<br>

<a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/8681/1624/Pro-Products/Face/Shaping-Powder-Pro-Palette/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><b>1. MAC Shaping Powder in Emphasize</b></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently started using this powder to set my concealer under my eyes. It is made specifically for this area so that your concealer does not crease and it is also meant for highlighting. I am so in love with the way this powder works! Not only does it prevent my concealer from creasing, it gives such a perfect highlight effect to my face and really just brightens up the area under my eyes. I don't want to say that there is sparkle in this powder but it is definitely not completely matte and does have a little shimmer to it to really reflect the light. I use the shade "emphasize" (I'm a MAC NC15 concealer) which is the lightest shade. If you are very pale like me, I would say definitely go for this shade..Don't be afraid if you get it and it looks stark white before you apply it-I promise it looks beautiful on! FYI- This is a MAC Pro product so it is not sold at the MAC counter, only online and at MAC Pro stores! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this lotion for free with my Ulta rewards points. I forget which points bracket it is part of..I'm pretty sure it is the second to last bracket. If you are a member of the Ulta rewards program, you probably know that there isn't much of a selection when it comes time to get your reward, so when I went to pick mine out, I wasn't really sure what to get. This lotion seemed like it was the product that I would get the most use out of so I decided to get it. I had to choose between the vanilla plum scent or pomegranate, and at first I thought that vanilla and plum was kind of a weird combination, but it turned out that I really love the way this smells and I can't get enough! My skin isn't really very dry (at least for now-winter may be a different story!) so I can't really speak to how well it moisturizes dry skin, but I definitely love the way this feels on my skin and how it smells!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always loved using dry shampoos to extend the life of my styled hair. I can get really lazy with my hair and it's a pain to blow dry and straighten it so I try to milk it for all that it's worth once I do it. I recently got a keratin treatment in my hair, so that means I can't use the products that I once normally used. Also, the more you wash your hair, the shorter the lifespan of the treatment is. Considering this, I decided to get the dry shampoo made specifically for the keratin treatment that I have. I have definitely used some great dry shampoos before, but I really think that this one is a top contender. When I spray this in the roots of my hair and brush it out, it literally looks like I just washed and blew dried my hair! It looks so refreshed and I am absolutely in love with this stuff, and so happy that I bought it. </div>

I get this lovely trait from my mom, so when she gave me some of this to use, it smelt amazing and I had to get my own (she bought it for me-thanks mom!) If you haven't smelt this one yet, go to B&BW right now and just smell it. You'll literally want to eat it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a recent obsession with B&BW candles so when the new ones come out for each season I get so excited. They always have sales (literally ALWAYS) so I try to get the candles when they are 2 for $22. I've been burning this one all through September and it smells like spices and apples and just pure fall. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the Clarisonic Mia 2 to my skincare routine back in June, but I didn't use it much over the summer because since it is an exfoliator, I didn't want to exfoliate my face too often and lose my summer tan. When I started using it again this month, I remember why I loved it so much in the first place. It leaves my skin so incredibly smooth and gives me a nice, radiant glow that I've never had before. I do have to admit that whenever I start using it, I break out for about a week but apparently that is normal for Clarisonic users and it's worth the week of breakouts to get through to amazing skin. Even when I don't use this for one night, my skin just does not look as good the next day. I don't think I will ever stop using this thing to clean my face. </div>

I've been doing my own nails a lot recently because I just haven't had the time to go get them done. Obviously doing your own nails can never compare to getting them done at the salon, mainly because they don't look as good, but also because whenever I do my own nails they always seem to chip right away. I have a few of these Sally Hansen nail polishes, and they are the only nail polishes that I own that don't chip in a day like my others. This one is my favorite color that I own! </div>

I don't wear lipstick too often, but I do love a bold lip every now and then. I think this is such a great color for fall, and right on trend with the dark, burgundy/cranberry lip colors that are so in right now. And, it's a drugstore product so it's very affordable which is definitely a plus!</div>

This month I ordered a bunch of Sigma brushes and I love them all! This one I have been using to really sculpt out my contour with my bronzer. When I first saw it, I wasn't sure how well it would work for contouring because of how sharp and flat it is, but it works amazingly well and puts on just the right amount of bronzer for a natural look. </div>

For me, Sundays are all about being casual and comfortable so I decided to wear this adorable, free flowing dress. I'm obsessed with the burgundy color of this dress..I think I need to own everything in this color! It was a little chilly this morning so I decided to add a chunky sweater over my dress and tights to keep me warm. I really love the way you can transition any cute sundresses you may have had for summer into the fall season just by adding a few pieces to your outfit.<br />

I have been pretty upset recently about summer coming to an end, but I will take this fall weather any day! Luckily, it was my day off from work, which I spent running around and doing some errands, and mostly relaxing, which was just what I needed. I decided to wear a pair of camoflouge printed jeans that I got last Christmas. Even though they were from last year, camo is still very in this season, which I am happy about because I think it is such a great print. The colors are perfect for fall and easy to match. I paired it with a basic white t-shirt, my current favorite booties, a beanie (bad hair day life-savers) and I was good to go. I especially love the camo mixed with the burgundy color of my beanie. I brought a jacket but definitely didn't even need it, so I put it back in the house before leaving! <br />

I know my nails will never look as good when I do them myself at home as they do when I get them done at the salon, so to compensate, I try to spice them up in any way that I can. What better way to get creative than with your nails; they're not very noticeable, easy to fix if you make a mistake, and if you get bored with your mani, it only lasts a week! Last week I did my nails and lots of people were asking me how I did them, so I decided to do a "pictorial." It's ridiculously easy and there are so many possibilities for this manicure.<br />

<b>Step 1:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choose the appropriate size strip for your ring finger and stick it onto your nail. (The reason mine is so short here is because I used the other half for my other nail. If you have short nails like me, you will find that when you file off the remaining strip [when using a full one], you'll have a lot left-it's a good idea to save the remaining strip..no sense throwing it out!) </div>

I was so shocked to hear that I'd won. One of the prizes was a bunch of makeup from Buxom that I wanted to share with you all. The main prize was a trip to Las Vegas, and I also won a Rebecca Minkoff purse which I will also post on here later on to show you guys. And of course, when I go to Vegas, I'll post plenty of pictures! Anyways.. All of the Buxom products are great quality and you can find them at <a href="http://m.sephora.com/search/search.jsp?#!&keyword=Buxom&currentPage=1&pageSize=20" target="_blank">Sephora</a>. Here are pictures and swatches of everything I received:<br />

Today we had a snow day so I was off from school! We got about a foot of snow here. I wanted to stay comfy and warm today for lounging around the house and going out into the snow, so I just decided to wear a big, knit sweater, leggings, and moccasins. When I bought this sweater, it really reminded me of a snowy day or winter time, so I thought it was perfect for a day like today! </div>

Today's post was inspired by a lot of nostalgia, so I thought it'd be perfect for "throwback thursday!" The other day I was looking at one of my old scrapbooks that I have and I found an Ulta receipt that I saved from March 8, 2003! I remember this exact trip to Ulta. I was 13 years old and my friend and I began to really get into makeup. We would always go on shopping sprees to Ulta. I know I saved this receipt because I ended up spending $40 on makeup, and I thought that was like, the craziest thing ever lol. You're probably wondering where I got $40 at 13 years old to spend on makeup...but the date on the receipt tells me it was probably my birthday money since that is only like a week after my birthday. Looking at the actual items on the receipt made me start to think back to wearing makeup in middle school and all of the products that I used to use..most aren't even around anymore. I remember I would always match my eyeshadow to my outfit..The colors I wore to school the most were blue, and my cheerleading uniform which was black and gold. I specifically remember having a blue and a gold glitter liquid eyeliner that I wore all of the time (I'm sure that blue eyeliner looked fantastic on me..lol) And I always remember lighting my gold pencil eyeliner with a lighter to make it melt and go on smoother and have more pigment! Lol..My makeup habits have definitely changed now, as have soo many of the products on the market..but one thing that definitely has not changed is my love for makeup :) <br />
<br />
Here's a picture of the Ulta receipt:<br />

Caboodles Lip Shimmer<br />
I sooo vividly remember these Caboodles lipglosses! I know for a fact I had it in clear with sparkles. I don't think this brand even exists for makeup anymore, I think they only make makeup cases now! </div>

Caboodles Eyegloss</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know why I was so into glitter during middle school. I guess I didn't really have a makeup sense yet and was just attracted to anything showy or conventionally "pretty." I had this in silver glitter and i remember it being like a balm that you apply with your finger..I think this is actually one of the items from the Ulta receipt above.</div>

CoverGirl Eyeshadow- Ice Princess</div>

I'm pretty sure CoverGirl still to this day makes this eyeshadow set. But I know I had it and I can even remember in my head seeing it in my vanity all of the time! </div>

CoverGirl Outlast Lip Shine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
CoverGirl definitely still makes this too, but in a different packaging. This is a picture of the old school one that I definitely had in a more red shade. I remember I didn't like the way the color looked on me so I used to just use the clear stick (the part that is supposed to make the product last for a long time) on its own as like a clear lip gloss. Clearly, I was a bit rebellious with the makeup rules.</div>

If you look at the Ulta receipt you can see I bought these on my shopping spree.. I must have had these $3.99 eyeshadows in every color. I can remember having this lilac color, white, blue, and a metallic turquoise color (oh boy). And I used to wet them before putting them on to get them to look more pigmented. I wonder where I learned all of these tricks? </div>

I can almost smell the way this lip gloss smelled just by looking at it and thinking back to it. It was amazing and smelt just like a frosting!

I had this silver glitter and used to apply it alll over my eyelids. I don't even want to know what that must have looked like. Hopefully all of this glitter was in style back then, otherwise I really don't know what I was thinking! I guess at that age it's okay to play around with makeup and have fun with it while you are discovering who you are, what you like, and what you want to look like :)</div>

Glow by J. Lo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This obviously isn't a makeup product but it still reminds me of middle school..I always wore this scent and it really reminds me of 7th-8th grade whenever I smell it! It was almost like a musky smell..I don't think the smell was really suited for a 13 year old but I guess I just liked it. I'm sure it's still around. I also had J.Lo's other fragrance, Love at first Glow, which was amazing. </div>

Because it scares them or it makes them feel insecure they just put it down. On the whole, people that say demeaning things about our world, I think that’s usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of ‘the cool group’ so as a result they just mock it. Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress, or a, I don’t know, pair of J Brand blue jeans, you know, instead of something basic from K-Mart, it doesn’t mean that you’re a dumb person. There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous.</span>” <br />

So over the past week or so I've been doing some shopping and I picked up some items from a bunch of different stores, including Ulta, MAC, and Walmart. I've been really into reading other beauty blogs (which is what inspired me to make one) and there are so many different products and suggestions out there for what to buy. I try to take it all in and choose what products would work best for me and my preferences. Here's what I got:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a fan of liquid concealers, and I usually use a MAC concealer. I got this new Revlon concealer for the purposes of highlighting. I got it in the lightest shade that it comes in, because I already have very fair skin, especially in the winter. I've been using it to highlight under my eyes, my nose, and forehead. It actually works very well, and is half the price of my MAC concealer. It's nice to know that you can still spend half the amount on a product without sacrificing quality! I think I will be buying this concealer again once my MAC one runs out. I bought this from Ulta.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a big mascara user unless it is a special occasion or I really feel like going all out. However, I have heard SO many good things about this mascara that I felt like I should try it. Even when I was at the register buying it, the girl at the register said she was wearing it now and loves this mascara. I love that it came in a mini-version--you will notice that I buy a lot of minis because they are great for when you are just trying out a product to see if you like it. They are also usually half the price of the original size product so you don't have to waste the money buying it if you don't know if you will like it or not. Since I'm not a big mascara-wearer as it is, I thought this size was perfect. This mascara works very well in terms of making your lashes look longer and separating them. I do feel it made my eyes "pop" or stand-out. However, it didn't really make my lashes look fuller or voluminous. I like this mascara but I don't think it made me look like I was wearing falsies! I got this at Ulta.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought this face wash at Walmart (another mini!) because I was just looking for a product that would supplement the face wipes that I use to remove all of my makeup and cleanse my face. I love the way this product smells: very orange-y and citrus-y, and I also love the way it feels. It contains "bursting beads" which are little beads that help to scrub your face and exfoliate. Even thought it's called "Morning Burst," I only use this product at night, since that is generally when I wash my face. My skin is sensitive and dries out easily, so I don't like to use too many products on it. After using this product, my face feels very clean and smooth. I love that clean, no-makeup feeling! Who doesn't? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Does this product even need a review? I picked up this mini at Walmart just for washing my makeup brushes with. Clearly not the intended use, but it works. It's gentle and cleans them well. It's also great to use because since it's a baby shampoo, there aren't any harsh chemicals in it. I try to clean my brushes every 1-2 weeks, otherwise, bacteria will build up on them and cause breakouts. Brushes also last longer if you clean them. I actually just used it last night to wash my brushes and remembered how AMAZING this product smells! I don't know if I love the smell because it is just an inherently good smell or if it's because it reminds me of how little babies smell, but either way I love it! lol :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been hearing a lot about setting sprays in the blogosphere lately, so I decided to get one. I got the mini version (of course) which was half the price of the original size, but they actually didn't have this size in stores so I ordered it from the MAC website. The purpose of this spray is to spray it on your face once your makeup is done and it will give it a more natural look. Like I said, I have dry skin, so sometimes when I have makeup on, it looks dry and very obvious that I'm wearing makeup, which I hate. When I used this, it gave me more of a dewy finish and like my makeup blended into my skin. It just looked more natural. However, if you have oily skin, I wouldn't really recommend this product, or adding any more liquid onto your face for that matter. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I use MAC liquid foundation, so I thought this foundation pump was a nice little addition to my collection. I actually looked for it in my MAC store twice and they didn't have it either time! So I ended up ordering it online. (it was free shipping, might as well!) This makes it easier to get the foundation out of the bottle, and helps you to use the amount you need to use so that you aren't wasting makeup. It's great to be able to pump this out right onto my hand, instead of having to pour it out of a big hole. Here is what it looks like once it is placed into the foundation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is self-capping which is great, and also comes with a cap for extra protection so that it does not leak all over all of your other makeup (disaster). I'm not sure if this cap fits into other brand foundations besides MAC, but I would imagine so. </div>

I wanted to share with you all an amazing support group that I recently came across. When I was in fourth grade, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which is a condition in which your spine curves. I had surgery at age 14. It was a rough period in my life and I didn't know anybody else going through the same thing, although there are so many girls out there with scoliosis. If you, or anyone you know, has scoliosis, then check out this scoliosis support group: <a href="http://www.curvygirlsscoliosis.com/" target="_blank">Curvy Girls</a>. I know this group would have really helped me had I discovered it earlier, and I want to spread the word to hopefully reach other girls who need the support! Sharing your story with others can be so empowering in a time that you feel out of control. These girls are doing amazing things, from providing support, to fundraising, to research, and they definitely deserve the acknowledgement. <br />

Today I had my first day of my last semester of grad school! As much as I dreaded going back to school after a nice winter break, it was exciting to know that it was my last semester and I will be graduating in May! I'm hoping these next three months fly by. I go to school in NYC on Saturdays and I like to dress nice when I go. It's fun to dress up for the city since I only get to go once a week. And you know I'm really being conscious of how I look when I take the time to curl my hair. Here's what I wore:<br />

I'm OBSESSED with skulls in fashion so I definitely fell in love with this shirt when I saw it! Here is my first outfit post ever..the lighting in my house is horrible and using my iPhone to take these pictures didn't help much, but it's a start! <br />
