They didn't have Dating A Royal :( So I got Essie Mesmorize instead. I like it. Alot

Since I am representing the UK in model UN, I decided to show my dedication by attempting to paint the union jack on my middle finger. It turned out okay. I used a toothpick for the red and a white nail art pen from forever 21. 

I haven't done nude lips in a while. I used my concealer and Revlon's Soft Nude. I'm also in LOVE with MAC's no. 43 lashes. 

This look is matte. I used Vanilla, Soft Brown and the dark matte brown from the maybelline natural smokes quad. I even wore it THREE days in a row, which is saying ALOT because I ALWAYS switch up my makeup and usually I don't like browns I like greys. (is grey spelled grey or gray?)

<33333 those lashes. unfortunately they are at the end of their life :( but look how big they make my eyes look! I wish I could wear fake lashes errr day For fall I've also been wearing MAC's mineralized blush in Gentle. Not sure if it's LE or not. *Just checked it's not* (secretly I stole it from my sister who NEVER wore it and it needed some love)

I've been waiting for fall to finally wear this Victoria Secret Lipgloss (color 20A?) It's a dark deep blackend red color with bright gold sparkles. Will I have the balls to actually wear it to school? We'll see, probably not...

This is my beautiful mother. I did her makeup one day and she AND my dad loved it. It looked 100000X better in person

Random, Faces of the Day, Nails of the Day as Well...

This is my Baby Lexi. I know it's random, but she is soooo cute. :) She is a two year old maltese.

Mauvement Pigment Smokey Eye. 

Full Face of the day, I like how my eyes look in this picture haha.

MAC Atlantic Blue in the crease with vanilla on the lid. A nice intense matte cut crease look. Yes, I wore this to school.

Essie Van D'go on the nails.

Essie Lilacism on the toes. Not sure if this is as good of a toe color as it is a nail color. 

The megan fox magazine on the ground was my inspiration for the mauvement look above.

Purple and Gold Makeup Look

I went to the first football game of the season on Friday and I thought I'd share my rather extravagant makeup.

Our school colors are purple and gold and I decided to do something a little out of the box. I didn't just do purple on the lid with gold along the lower lashline or gold on the lid with purple in the crease. I did black on the lid with gold reflects glitter and purple in the crease.

So I started off with a primer (TFSI obviously) and then put blacktrack fluidline all over the lid. I chose BTFL because it is a little more sticky and jet black than sharkskin shadestick or NYX blackbean. Before that dried, I put MAC reflects gold glitter on the lid. I put black liner in my waterline and tightline. I used a mixture of bright purples from my coastal scents 88 ultra shimmer palette. I put black mascara and a little black eyeliner on. To spice up the look even more and make it look even more spirited, I took some eyelash glue and put it in a C-shape as you can see in the picture and put the reflects glitter again over it to create a ridiculous glittery highlight. My name's not glitter addict girl for a reason yo. ;)

By the way we kicked their ass that night.

Army Party Makeup

So I went to an army themed party and I though I'd share what makeup I wore.

It was pretty simple, just sharkskin shadestick by MAC on the lid, with club eyeshadow by MAC (one of my all time favorites and one of my first MAC eyeshadows) over the black base to make a really pretty armyish green color. I just put a skin colored eyeshadow from the crease up and winged out liner. Nothing on the bottom lashline. Naunce Mineralized blush by MAC on my cheeks with natural lips. Here is the look sorry I forgot to take a picture of the actual lid.

I've been liking the look of a bare bottom lashline, I didn't even put mascara on the bottom this time. I used NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Blackbean for the "war paint" ? My sister who is in the actual military told me I looked like a football player with it on though, apparently they do not wear black streaks on their faces in the army. Oh well. I also wore Jade is the New Black by OPI to go with my green theme. :)

Rave, More about Nailssss

I love talking about nails on here, because it is so easy and I've been nail polish obsessed lately.

My recent obsession for nails has been the highly talked about Seche Vite fast dry top coat. Trust me, I thought for the longest time I do not need a $10 top coat. It just seemed ridiculous. Now, I regret not buying this sooner. This top coat is thebomb.com It makes even the cheapest nail polish look like a glossy shiny salon manicure. You know how celebrities always have those really really glossy shiny nails? I always wondered how I could achieve the same look at home without going to the salon. This topcoat is worth it 100%, I would recommend it to anyone who loves changing their nail polish, to people who want to cut back on trips to the salon and especially for people who love creamy non shimmery nail polishes. Even if I use a $9 OPI nail polish, the shininess of the nail polish alone will get dull within a few days. With the Seche Vite, my nails remain glossy and chip-free for days! It sounds like I'm promoting this product or something, but I am just really happy with this product despite it being on the pricier side.

I've really been loving Jade is the New Black by OPI. I kinda wear it too much haha. Right now I've gone back to my favorite color nail polish of all time, black. I love black nails, they are just nice sleek and sexy looking. I'll probably change the black in a couple days to my second favorite nail polish color, mint. My favorite (well only) mint colored polish is Hey! Get in Lime! by OPI. 

This particular black polish is Black on Black by sinful colors. As far as the polish goes it is just OKAY. I've tried many drug store black nail polishes and this one is better than most, but not by a lot. I find that black polishes tend to be on the goopier thicker side. 

Another thing I've been using to get the perfect nails at home are by Sally Hansen. 

These two together work miracles. My cuticles have never looked better without this pair. The sally hansen cuticle trimmer and the instant cuticle remover are a must for me. I have pretty awful cuticles. It's pretty annoying because my best friend has like 0 cuticles it's weird and lucky. Anyways, I put the cuticle remover on for 15 - 20 seconds then I go in with the trimmer tool and just get all those nasty cuticles out of the way. I highly recommend these tools, I rarely do my nails without them these days.

I love Nail Polish

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, it's my blue fix at the moment but I really want OPI Dating a Royal

This polish would make me very happy.

Sally Hansen Wet Cement and OPI Teal the Cows Come Home

I really like white nail polish but this Sally Hansen White is not good. Either it looks super streaky in the beginning, but to get rid of the streakiness, you have to put like 100 layers on then it just gets really really goopy and gross and doesn't dry and gets all messed up. Does anyone know of a good white polish? What about a good black too because it seems like all black polishes are on the goopier side. The pointer finger is a fail. I tried to do something cool, not happening clearly. 

Nails!!

This summer, my nail polish collection has grown ALOT. Nail polish is amazing for people who like to change their look a lot like me and I usually wear pretty boring solid neutral colored clothes, so it's nice to add a pop of color in my nails.

Essie Lilacism = Purely Amazing

I love this color because it's cute and girly and I've been loving it this summer

OPI Jade is the New Black ( Sinful Colors All About You on Ring Finger)

This is the color I wore on the first day of school. It's a really unique forest green color and it's the Starbucks color! Jade could possible replace my black for the fall ;)

OPI Red her Fortune Cookie with Sinful Colors Blackest Black on the middle finger

This nail look was inspired by the movie Jennifer's Body. I'm a huge Megan Fox fan ( she is the definition of gorgeous) and i'll try to do anything I can to mimic her. In Jennifer's body, Jennifer wears a pinky red nail polish with black on her pointer finger and I actually really liked the way it turned out.

Ryan Merriman is Ian Thomas!

If you're not a PLL (Pretty Little Liars) Fan, this post is completely irrelevant to you. Ian Thomas, Spencer's sister Melissa's boyfriend and Rosewood's "it boy" back in the day is played by Ryan Merriman in the show on ABC Family. Ryan Merriman from smart house

that dcom (disney channel original movie) dolphin movie (i forgot what it's called)

and final destination 3 (which scared the shit out of me btw)

This makes me happy.

So I went to a beach themed barbecue last night. Hmm... what does everyone wear to the beach? A bathing suit. I'm definitely NOT wearing a bathing suit to a party but here's what I did wear.

Fuck!!!

Yesterday I looked in the mirror and almost vomited when I saw this staring at me.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

(I don't normally look THAT ugly without makeup!?)

My eyes were dicustingly swollen and puffy. It looked like I woke up Asian. I have no problem with asians, but it's scary as hell when you wake up a different race ok? Then I noticed it was worse than just puffy eyes.

Now I have these bumps all over my face. I don't know if they're hives or acne or what, but I doubt it's acne because usually I have really clear skin and rarely breakout. If I do breakout it definitely doesn't look like that! I'm 16 I'm pretty sure i've gone though puberty already, but who knew it happened literally overnight!? (Just Kidding) Most likely I had an allergic reaction to something, which is also really unusual because I'm not allergic to anything that I know of and normally I have pretty thick skin ya know? So I came up with some possible culprits for why I look like a meth-head. I tried my new Makeup Forever Aqua Cream #2 and I wore it the whole day before. I washed it off at night, but I wondered if that was the cause to this monstrosity. But, I tested it by putting it on one eye the other night and there was no reaction. I would have been surprised if there was because I have never heard or had any sort of reaction to MUFE products before. Also, the day before I got a mild sunburn on my face and chest from laying out by the pool for a couple hours. I've had sunburns before, but they have never turned my face into that mess. Another thing that could be responsible for this is I remembered the day before I used a rather old mascara. I don't remember how old it was because I had a lot of the same mascara and forgot to throw my old ones away, so I think I could have used a really old one by mistake. I threw it out and I'm not going to test it. And then today I thought maybe it was from the self tanner I used a week ago. I used it all over my face, which I've done before and never had a problem. But that was a week ago... It would makes sense though because I used it in the affected areas including my eyelids so yeah... I don't know. Again, the product I used is kinda from last summer but it didn't have an expiration date so I thought i'd be okay. From now on, when a product gets past the age of like 4 months, in the trash it goes. The dermatologist I go to is out for like a month because of a family death or something, just my luck. School starts on the 18th and if my face still looks like this, well fuck my life.

1. Pretty Little Liars. The show on ABC Family and the book series by Sara Shepard. I'm currently on Wicked the 5th book.

2. Blue Mascara. I've been loving my Maybelline Royal Blue Great Lash mascara. It makes my brown eyes pop and makes the whites of my eyes appear brighter.

3. Circle the Drain by Katy Perry. I love this song; it's so much edgier than most of Katy's singles and any song with the word fuck in it, I can relate.
