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.

This particular day was about a week ago, and I was headed out for another birthday bash (a birthday is an event you know) I will post whatever info I have below pics.

BIG Random Swatchfest! (bareMinerals, Tarte, Benefit, Milani, Sinful Colors)

Swatchfest: Tarte cheek stain in Flush

    I am still trying to get the rest of these swatch posts done from my Sephora Faves: In the Glow kit. The holidays screwed me all up and I am still in lazy mode LOL.

    I have to be honest about this particular product, I have not tried it on my cheeks yet. I was completely frightened by it just looking at it in the packaging. It seems like such a dark vampy color to wear as blush. As you can see from the swatch, it is much more sheer than it appears. I can not testify as to just how much it stains the cheeks, or how it lasts. When I have a better feel for it, I will follow this up with a review post. 

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.

Swatchfest: Tarte Fantastic Foursome Blush Set

Hi my loves!

I'm back with another swatch post that I am SUPER excited about!

If you recall my last post about high-end fall launch products I was interested in, I mentioned I'd be picking this set up in the near future. I had some free time on Friday (thanks Mom!), so I headed off to Sephora before hitting the gym.

Product descriptions will follow each picture. Each swatch is a heavy swipe on the left, blended out on the right. 

I truly love this blush set, it did not disappoint me! If this is in your budget, I recommend picking it up. Remember that a single Tarte blush is $25, and all 4 of these are $35. Steal!!

Blush Collection Pt. 3 - Drugstore & High End
