I CONFESS!

Hey pretty girls(: so on my “TAG: My Perfect Imperfections” post  I got a lot of backlash from hater comments to hater messages basically telling me that the tag was ridiculous and I was basically promoting plastic surgery and that I need to not brag about what I like about myself and it was really mean and uncalled for. I am only human just like everyone else and I am TIRED of the rude ignorant comments. So I wanted to do another post about things that make me imperfect. NO this is not a way to look down on myself, this is my way to let you all know that I am only human and I forgot things and I have my own little quirks just like everyone else on this planet.

Confession 1: I bite my nails

Who hasn’t bit their nails at least once? I tried to stop but when I get nervous and shy, I bite my nails like there is no tomorrow. I have stopped myself from doing it randomly throughout the day but it is so hard to stop.

Confession 2: I am a compulsive hand washer

I wouldn’t say I’m like OCD about hand washing but I probably wash my hands about 5 to 10 times per hour during the spring and summer, sometimes 10 to 15 hours through the fall and winter. I don’t like having dirty hands and I always want them to feel clean.

Confession 3: I don’t really use a makeup brush for foundation or concealer

I prefer to use my fingers for my face makeup, I think it blends better and gives a more natural flawless effect. I really hate when everyone’s like “oh you don’t use a brush for that” like who made that rule up anyways? There is no little paper that comes with foundation or concealer that says “MUST USE BRUSH AT ALL TIMES”.

Confession 4: I refuse to admit I’m wrong

Even if I know I’m wrong I won’t admit it. You could say the sky is blue and I would argue that it was green and even if you gave me scientific proof AND took me outside to show me that the sky is blue, I would still say it was green. I hate being wrong.

Confession 5: I have OCD with my room

If my room isn’t the way I want it then all hell breaks loose. I am such an ‘in its place person’ that if nothing has a place or is in its place then I freak out and I feel like my world is going to explode. I know it’s a bit drastic but I like everything to be organized and completely in a specific place so I can find it all.

I hope this helped some of you out there realize I know I’m not perfect and that I’m human just like everyone else.

XOXO (:

My Everyday Makeup

Hey pretty girls(: I keep getting a lot of questions from a ton of people on here, luuux, and even friends. So to make it easier I figured I would post a blog about my everyday makeup routine. In this post I will show all the products I use on my face, eyes, and lips and the order of the products and what they are used for. I hope you all enjoy this.

Face:

First products I use to prime my face are Benefit The POREfessional and Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Primer. I used the POREfessional on my nose and chin to minimize the look of pores and I use the Color Correcting Primer on my cheeks to cancel out all the redness I have. Next I use the Neutrogena Skin Clearing Concealer and Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse to conceal. I use the Dream Mouse to conceal the bags under my eyes (I use this product because it has a very yellow tint to it which is too much for my face but cancels out dark circle perfectly) and the Skin Clearing Concealer on blemishes (helps cover and heal blemishes faster). Then I mix Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation with Milani Body Bronzer (I do this because my foundation is too light for my skin tone but I didn’t want to buy something that I would only use in the summer and could possibly go bad before next summer) and use a foundation brush from Eco-tools to smooth it all over my face then I rub it in with the brush, a Mac makeup sponge, and my fingers to make sure it is extra blended. Next I use Benefit Sugar Bomb Blush on the apples of my cheeks and NARS Laguna Bronzer to contour my face (I will link a video on how to contour at the bottom) and use an Eco-tools fluffy powder brush to apply my blush and bronzer.

Eyes:

I prime my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin (you can use any primer you want or you don’t have to use a primer at all, I just like to). Then I use my Too Faced Natural Eye Palette; first I mix ‘Silk Teddy’ and ‘Nude Beach’ together and place the colors on the inner third of my eyes and on my brow bone as a highlight with a Mac 242 Flat Shader Brush, then I mix ‘Push Up’ and ‘Honey Pot’ and place it on the rest of my eyes bringing it slightly into the crease with a Mac 242 Flat Shader Brush, then I mix ‘Erotica’ and ‘Cocoa Puff’ together and put it on the outer corner of my eyes and bring it slightly into the crease with a Mac 242 Flat Shader Brush then blend it out with a Mac 224 Tapered Blending Brush. Next I apply Milani Liquid Liner in Black to top lash line. Next I curl my lashes and apply a coat of Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara to my top lashes, let sit for 20 seconds then apply two to three coats of Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara to top lashes and one coat to bottom lashes. Next I apply L’Oreal H.I.P Cream Eye Liner in Blackest Black to my lower lash line.

Lips:

I start with using a little bit of foundation on my lips to get rid of any natural pinkish color. Then I apply N.Y.C Ultra Moist Lipstick in Mocha with Bath and Body Works Cupcakes Lip Gloss in Coconut Cream.

OR

I line my lips with Milani Lip liner in Star Flash. Then I apply NYX Lipstick in Jupiter. Then I apply Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in Fuzzy Navel.

***I HAVE BEEN BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THESE TWO LIP LOOKS.***

That was my post I hope this answered a lot of your questions if you would like to know where I got these products or how much they were comment below and I will let you know.

XOXO (:

My Emergency Kit

I think every girl needs to keep an emergency kit in their purse for those sticky situations. I have had one of the mini emergency kits from glitzy glam but these are things I find myself or someone else needing very frequently when I’m out somewhere. The bag I keep all these items in I got for free with a $50 purchase at Victoria’s Secret a few years ago. When I bought this clutch Victoria’s Secret was still divided into two stores, a clothing store and a beauty store, so you cannot still purchase this exact clutch but they always have these free with a certain amount of purchased items or for $10.

In here I keep:

-          Oil absorbing sheets

-          Oral-B Brush Ups

-          Mini sewing kit

-          Band aids (3 different sizes)

-          Breath spray

-          Chap stick

-          Benadryl (for allergies)

-          Tea packet (I’m on a strict diet and in case I sleep at a friend’s)

-          Pure via (I’m on a strict diet and in case I need to add some sweetness to a drink or food)

-          Cough drops

-          Orajel

-          Advil and Tylenol for headaches (kept in the mint container, smaller than a pill bottle)

-          Mini scissors

-          Nail file (emery board)

-          Cuticle sticks

-          Antibiotic cream (for cuts and burns)

That is all I keep in my emergency kit, I hope this helps some of you thinking about carrying one around with you.

If you are thinking about purchasing one of these mini emergency kits you can buy one at Sephora or go to one of the following websites:

My Perfect Imperfections

Hey pretty girls (: the other day I was watching Andreaschoice on YouTube (I will link her at the bottom) and I saw that she started this tag called My Perfect Imperfections and I thought it was an incredible idea. Nobody thinks they’re perfect and everyone has insecurity’s and the point of this tag is to let you all know that the YouTube gurus are all human JUST like us.


Since this is my favorite tag video I figured I would bring this wonderful tag onto here. What you do is you say three things you don’t really like about yourself but would never change and three things you like about yourself and explain all of your reasoning’s. Hope to see a lot more of these tags.

What I don’t like

My baby face: I have a very chubby face that does not match the rest of me, I’m a small girl I weight about 115 pounds and my face is just too chubby for the rest of me. My cheeks are very full and contouring is extremely hard with such a full chubby face.

Dark circles: No matter how much sleep I get I ALWAYS need concealer to hide the dark circles under my eyes, it’s awful. I can sleep up to 10-12 hours and I still have these ugly dark circles under my eyes that won’t go away.

My nails: My nails are so bad, they are extremely weak. No matter how much strengthening polish I use on them when I try to grow them they always break and they’re very yellow.

What I do like

My height: I love being small, I’m only 5’1. Everyone else is bigger than me and I can wear heels around my boyfriend and I’m still shorter than him. It makes me feel really cute and dainty.

My hair: My hair is my favorite thing about me. I like the blonde color and how it gets lighter in the summer, the texture because it’s naturally straight and the length because it is super long. I love that it is either perfectly straight or I can curl it like I did in all these pictures.

My eyes: Most people have brown or hazel eyes and some have blue, I’m one of those oddballs with the green eyes. From a distance my eyes are plain green but as you get closer you realize that I have a golden ring around the edges with green blue in the center with grayish running through. My eye color makes me feel very unique and different.

This is my perfect imperfections. I hope you all enjoyed and I hope to see more of these on here.
XOXO (:
