My Look: Cranberry Crush

I love Instagram. The filters just make such pretty pictures (see above haha).

   I purchased a couple of the new balm stain thingy's by Jordana. The colors I chose were Candied Coral (woah baby, in your face color!) and also Cranberry Crush, which I am wearing in this look. I'm really super liking them. "Super liking"? I think I just turned 5 years old LOL. Anywho, I think the cranberry shade is such a perfect fall color. If you know me, bold lips scare the crap out of me, but I can work this one.

Excuse lack of close up shot in this post, as again, this are iPhone pictures done on a whim. My bad.

Ah, the awkward smirk. What a gem.

It's My Birthday, & I'll Cry If I Want To!

   

     Ok, so I don't really want to cry. Well maybe a little bit, just because I waited too long to do pictures, and I was losing daylight quickly. If you know me, you will know I celebrated the 3rd anniversary of my 25th birthday on Wednesday. Technically today is not my birthday, but I am headed out with my friends tonight to celebrate. EDIT: This should have went up yesterday, so I celebrated last night.

   I spent over an hour doing my hair today. I straightened it, I curled it, and I still ended up with a messy bun. Story of my life, I swear.

Drugstore Mascara Run Down

I have tried quite a few mascaras in my day. Not every mascara in the drugstore, but a good number. I just wanted to list what is great, or not so great, about each mascara I've tried. At the end I will list them in order of my favorite to my least favorite.

What criteria do I look for in a mascara? Let's see:

- Volumizing

- Separating

- Lengthening

- No Smudging

- No Clumping

- No Flaking 

- Very Black in Color

- Dry Formula

- Holds A Curl

That's not a lot to ask for, is it? 

Blush Collection Pt. 2 - Drugstore

I'm back with another installment of the 'ole blush collection. There will be at least one more post after this, possibly even two. That's ridiculous, I can't believe I have that much frackin' blush. Whatevs, I don't care, I love me some blush!
