Super Soft Feet for the Rest of Summer

Hey,

I know summer is coming to an end but its not to late to get super soft feet. This is also good for all year, I actually do this throughout the whole year. This also works on your hands too, I get terribly dry hands in the winter and this is one of the few things that help my. 

So what I do is I scrub my feet using this, I use salt instead of sugar on my feet and usually hands, but you can use either depending on how sensitive your skin is or how rough. After that I rinse off all the salt and then I apply a thick amount of lotion all over my feet and then put on socks, you can use lotion designed for feet or unscented lotion, but try to find a thick lotion, it works better.I do this before bed, that way they are super soft in the morning. I will say that this doesn't work the first time fully if your feet are really rough. I typically do this once a week, on Sundays to be exact.

I will also point out that if you do this after painting your nails, make sure they are fully dry, but if you got some on your skin this takes it off really easily.

Have you tried this before, does it work for you, are you going to try it.

Light makeup; "back to school" part one!

Hey,

I'm only going to do two back to school looks; I don't personally like these because for me its not what I would wear since they are always light and barely there. That's not how I am so back to school post and videos aren't for me, I'm not a flats and no makeup type of girl, I like wearing heels pretty much daily to school, but every ones different. So I decided I would do two looks a light look for those who are younger and then something I would wear to school, and the best part is both looks are using the same eye shadows!

Products:
Primer
Coastal Scents Fall Festival palette, you need a skin tone shimmery shade and a matte one(you can use your setting powder), a bronze, and a dark brown, you don't have to use that palette though. The numbers of the shades I used were: # M004 Chamois Nude, # ME017 Light Apricot, and # S030 Cherry Chocolate.
Brown eyeliner
Either a bronze, white, or skin tone eyeliner, I used a bronze one.
Mascara, I actually didn't use any in this look because I didn't feel like putting any on when I was just going to take it off, but normally I would have.

First thing I did was put down some eye primer then set that. After I primed my lids I did a light wash of the skin tone shimmery shade. Next I blended the bronze color into my crease lightly so it wasn't very dark, lastly for the shadows I lightly blended the dark brown through my outer v and half way into the crease, and use the matte skin tone shade to make sure everything is blended and too highlight.


Then I lined my upper lash line mainly in my lashes, I smudged a bit on my outer corner and blended it out. After that I lined my lower lash line leaving my waterline untouched, I also blended that out too but not as much. I then lined my waterline and set it with the shimmery skin tone shade, while doing that I highlighted the inner corner too. Then apply mascara and you have a great natural look for either work, school, or anytime.

Review: Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker

Hey,

I hauled this a while ago, you can check that out here if you want to see what other fun Wet n Wild products I got. So let me just start off by saying I love Wet n Wild products, I think they are a great brand, and for the price you can't get better. I really love eyeliners like this, I just think they're easy and sometimes I don't like spending much time on my eyeliner and this gets the job done fast. With all that said this was a great eyeliner, while it lasted. It was pigmented, the marker part was not too hard but yet not so soft either, it did what the website claimed it would, it was just great. The only down fall was after three times of me using this I could tell it was already drying out. Sure you can store it upside down to prolong this from happening but it still dries out faster then I would like, and even though it's only 2.99 I don't want to spend that much on a eyeliner that's going to dry out in three days, even if its cheap, for me to repurchase this every three days for a month that's around 30 dollars, it would be cheaper to get a high end one that is known to last four+ months, or even a different drugstore one.

Over all it a great liner but not worth since it dries out faster, I'd say skip this if you were thinking about getting it, I'm going to get the ELF one of these and do a review/comparison of these later on.

If you would still like to give this a try and see if you have better results you can get these at: Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and I think Target also carries Wet n Wild. It's 2.99usd and can often be found on sale for less at most drugstores.

Sorry Wet n Wild, but this product was a fail for me, and I would not recommend this to anyone, not even if its for a one time use.

Hand Bag Essentials, back to school/ in general

Hey,

The zebra thing is my menstraul bag thing, I made it my self, I have a bag that goes with it too, random I know. Also this isn't nearly everything I carry just a good bit of it.

So as some may know I'm going into my Senior year of Highschool, and since it's getting close to back to school time, don't worry I won't do an extreme amount of back to school post unless someone wants me to, and I won't do one on school advice since every ones experience is different and it depends on how you take to school, but this is something I've been re-gathering this past week and next week and that is my back to school/ hang bag essentials, I only carry a hand bag during school months or when I need it during summer other then that I find it to much of a hassle, but I want to share my back to school essentials, these are on the beauty side of things but not really makeup since I don't carry much makeup to school or around in general. I might do a what's in my bag later this month or early September, but I haven't decided yet.

So lets just talk about the makeup I carry with me, I do have a few but not many, first is my favorite nude lipgloss, I have raved about this before its the Liquid Lipshine by NYC in Nude York City, I have a review which you can see here. This is great for me because most days I do wear a nude lip and I keep this one in my bag at all times, I have two; I love it that much! So this next thing is kind of a give in and  I'm sure we all already carry this around lip balm, I two maybe three, nothing special just something we all need. These last two things are for the eyes and that's black eyeliner and a travel size mascara, I have a travel size one cause I had gotten it for free once that's gone I will through a full sized one in there, if your interested in what I have its the Skyscraper in black by Urban Decay, I need to pick up the liner still but it will be in there, I'm just going to get the black on in the Color Icon line or an ELF one since they usually come with a sharpener in the cap, I'm not sure yet but I might through in an eyeshadow quad from ELF and mini angled brush to set it and a black liner but I'm not sure yet, that's only for my waterline on days I wear black on it which isn't often. This isn't necessarily makeup but goes under this category and that's blotting sheets, I have a pack of these in my makeup so it is something else I need to pick up still, as you will see I still have to pick up quite a few things. That's all for makeup, it may seem like a lot to some and nothing to others but I set my makeup in the morning and it tends to last me throughout the day, I also will through in my lipstick or liner I used that day too but these are just the things I keep in my bag and don't take out.

Now onto non makeup things, I'm just going to get this one out of the way now, I have I guess well call it the menstrual bag, I don't want to say period cause thats a bit crude, and then a makeup/essentials bag. In the essential bag I keep two tampons a a few pantie liners, and this is my suggestion and this may seem like a lot but it's always good to have more then you need then not enough, plus I don't know about everyone else but people always take mine so I have to carry a lot. So in my menstrual bag I carry this exact amount and suggest you carry the same but if your a pad person and only occasionally were tampons then switch what I say around so it works for you; I keep ten regular tampons, at least two super, five pantie liners and two pads, this is just what seems to fit and works for me, like I said I'm always giving them to others and I don't wear pads often but its always smart to carry some around to be safe. Also on the note of this I carry around pamprin in my essential bag.

Lets move on now, these are things I feel everyone should have. A compact mirror, travel size lint roller, pen and pencil, bobby pins at least four, two hair ties, at least four safety pins, nail clipper I have mini ones, this is optional I don't carry this but it might be smart to and that is tweezers, a lighter, brush this lays in my bag but its a mini one just to used and two big for the essential bag, band aids, cotton swabs, tissues, nail file, travel size body spray and deodorant,  hand sanitizer, travel size lotion, if you wear contacts travel size solution and an extra clean case.

Some essentials for me but not everyone, hairspray I find this important, hand wipes, a teasing comb, dry shampoo and mini baby powder, barrettes/ snap hair clips, clear nail polish just a cheap one this is so important for many things. Also for some this is another I don't do an extra of your favorite lipstick the shade you always go to and wear, its something I would do with a nude but I haven't found my perfect nude lip yet.

I hope this gave you some ideas or helped you in some way. Tell me what you carry in your bag, if you think I'm a crazy person who is overly prepared, I'm well aware this is a lot and much more then the average person, I'm a planner and like to be prepared for pretty much everything... Honestly this is just what I carry and find important, I'm sure I'm forgetting something, I'll update this if I need to and I'm not done getting all I need a few of those things are things I haven't picked up yet. I really do suggest getting as many travel size things you can to save space, but that's just a suggestion.

Keep in mind these are just things I think are necessary, these are my suggestions, not me telling you that you need all of this.
Please do tell me if there's anything you'd like to see, a picture day tutorial, back to school makeup, if there's something relating to this topic that you'd like to see please tell me and I'll try my best to create something for it, I do intend on doing a light makeup look for younger girls or those who don't wear much makeup and want to start. But please share with me what you'd like to see whither its back to school or not.

Thanks for reading, please leave any request below! Also if there's anything else school related you'd like to me to talk well type about them do tell me, but I'm not going to get crazy into this unless there is something you would like to see. Also sorry for the poor grammar, it bothers me but it just works this way for this post.

Mani Monday: Ballerina

Hey,

This week I just wanted something pretty and natural but still there. I went with Avon Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel in Ballerina, its a gorgeous soft pink that just leaves your nails looking natural but still pretty and polished. This polish is extremely sheer, it took three coats to get it that opaque, but I can still see the tips of my nails and a little white dot I have on my nails through the polish. This is great for someone who doesn't like bright colors or if you can't were them for work or school, its also a great anytime polish; good for summer, spring, fall and even winter because its so soft and natural. I didn't use any base coat but I did use top coat this week, which was Seche Vite as usual, but if you get this or have this or something similar using a white or a lighter pink that's opaque underneath will give it a gorgeous look, this is also a great polish to match shimmery top coats with.

DIY Room Spray

Hey,


Random photo, but I felt it went since we are talking about scents,
and its pretty.

So I hate room sprays you buy at stores, they're either to expensive or they smell terrible, and no matter the price they are always too strong for me. So to meet my standards I made my own; now this isn't mixing scents or anything like that; its very simple and doesn't take long. All you need is some body spray you like, personally I never wear body spray so I have no problem using one that I had, its better if you use a spray that's half gone, that way you're not wasting any of it. Now this is seriously so simple but its perfect cause it gives you a great smell and it's light a fresh, well fresh depending on the spray you use. I got mine at walmart so it was cheap but it still smells good, you can use any scent you like, I used cherry blossom because I like soft and fresh smells, but you can use vanilla or any scents you like. All you do is take a half full body spray that the lid twist off and fill it up, only put a half of the amount of water so its 3/4 the way filled the first time and if its still to strong fill it up the rest of the way, I only filled mine up 3/4 the way, but if your using a strong smell you may want to go a little more. This is great because its cheaper and I'm sure most everyone has a body spray they love but never use anymore or never did, you can also still use this and do this to body sprays you love but are just too strong. I find this last the same amount of time it would on your body or as a room spray but doesn't have that strong barely able to breath quality to it room sprays tend to have.

My go to smokey eye, daytime smokey eye!

Hey,

Sorry about the blurry lashes...

Some may disagree with me as to whither this is daytime appropriate but for me it is. This look is perfect for photography since its all matte; its actually the look I did for my Senior picture. It's a nice warm tone matte smokey eye, I personally would wear this to school, work, weddings, out, parties, and anywhere else. This is so simple and easy, it  takes under ten minutes to do but looks great! I also need to note this is darker in person then it photographs, I promise its dark smokey eye, but it doesn't want to come out the color it looks in person.

Products used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Made for Mocha by Maybelline, you can alter any of these products and use whatever you have. This was really cheap like under three dollars. This is just a dark warm brown.
I used the Coastal Scents 42 double stack matte palette, I used the white, black, and mid tone brown in the top right corner, you can check that out here and see all of the colors.
Black eyeliner
Maybelline Falsies mascara, expect to see this in this months favorites!


If you got the Urban Decay Smokey palette you can use that, it honestly would be perfect for this, but I'm not sure if those are mattes or not.

So the first thing I did as always was prime my eyes then set it with my face powder.

Next I used the mid tone brown shade, you can even use your bronzer for this I just prefer the way a mid tone brown looks over my bronzer, I blended this in my crease. After that I started packing on the dark brown shadow on my lid from the outer v and lash line into the rest of my eyelid. Then I blended it, this blends out very easily since we already put the crease color down, you just want to blend this into the shape you want.

Then I used an angled brush and black eyeshadow and made a line on my upper lash line then used a pencil brush to blend it, then I blended the dark brown shadow on my lower lash line. I then rimmed my eyes and set that.

My eyebrows really need done, sorry about that.

Lastly I lightly high lighted under my brow which blended out even more, and inner corner with the white and applied mascara.

Was that not so easy, it takes no time and my cat is playing with a roll of pennies I found in my room last week, she's so strange. This is a great smokey eye for the day or night and just looks gorgeous and sexy. You can use black over brown if you'd prefer. If you do use black you can use either the mid tone brown or gray either way looks good. You can also use shimmery shade if you'd prefer, usually I use a shimmery highlight, but keep in mind if you use this for photography keep it matte.
