My Look: Mirror, Mirror...

I am not good at "mirror selfies". I am very new to the whole taking a picture of myself in the mirror thing. So bear with me on that. I'd love to do more outfit of the day type posts (you know, on the rare days I get dressed lol), so I will be practicing. Here is what we have so far.

Christmas Gift Guide to Show Your Guy 2012!!

     It's that time of year again... time for me to show you some of the awesome options out there for Christmas. I do this list so you can show your boyfriends/husbands exactly what you'd like (they need specifics girls!), but keep in mind you can also use this list as ideas for people you are shopping for also. Think Mom, Sister, Aunt, BFF, Teacher, etc. 

     There are WAY too many things on this list to have a picture of every single thing. Almost all product descriptions will be clickable links where you can go check it out. This list is composed of both drugstore and higher end products. I try to keep everyone's budget in mind when compiling this list. Also, let me say this: don't ask for mascara or foundation. I don't know why, it just seems too weird and personal to me. Besides, shade matching on ourselves it hard enough, don't even bother trying to have a guy do it LOL. 

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.

Lorac Pro Palette Look #2

Happy Saturday Loves!! xo

As you may have noticed from the above picture, I dyed the underneath of my hair BRIGHT PINK! I love love love it! It is a permanent hair dye, so we shall see how it looks as it fades out eh? If you'd like a separate post as to how I did it, leave me a comment below :)

For todays eyeshadow look, I again used my Lorac Pro Palette (hence the title of this blog...) I also used it yesterday and absolutely love the look I came up with, but of course I didn't take any pictures. (Story of my life...) If you'd like to see how I came up with this eye look, keep reading!

My Look: Lorac Love

Hi my dears!

I had to work yesterday, and it was super early in the morning while I was getting ready. I needed a quick, simple look (toddlers don't care for smokey eyes or dramatic looks lol) and I was dying to use my new Lorac Pro Palette. To see what I came up with, and how I did it, keep reading!

Swatchfest: Lorac Pro Palette

Hi loves! 

    I caved, I did it. I purchased the Lorac Pro Palette after talking myself out of it over and over again. But I keep hearing so many rave reviews about it, and after swatching it about 15 times I decided I had to have it. I cashed in a bunch of my reward points at Ulta, and ended up getting it for about 30% off, so I justify it, lol.

    If you are unaware of what the Lorac Pro Palette is, it's basically an eyeshadow palette consisting of 16 shades. The top row are all matte shades, and the bottom row are all shimmer shades. None of them are super glittery (yes, I'm looking at you UD Midnight Cowboy Rides Again....). The texture is very creamy and buttery. One small swipe goes a long way as these shades are uber pigmented. The palette also includes a mini Behind the Scenes eye primer. Retail will run you $42 plus tax. I have no idea whether this is LE or not??

 On to swatches and pictures!
