NEW STUFF: BURT'S BEES RADIANCE NIGHT CREAM {with royal jelly}

hey guys! I ran to CVS earlier to get a couple of essentials....but as usual I got distracted. So, I ended up picking out this new night cream by Burt's Bees. It's 99 percent organic and claims to brighten your complexion, so I thought what the hey. Plus, the packaging is to die for...the label on the glass jar has a pearl finish that gleams softly.....so gorgeous.

WHATS IN MY MAKEUP BAG: SCHOOL EDITION

hey guys! So, I haven't posted in an eternity, hehe. Anyways, I decided to end that today with this fun little post. I always love watching videos/posts about whats in people's makeup bags, because it really shows what their "bare necessities" are. So ya, I hope y'all enjoy!

P.S. The exact items in my bag change from day to day, but this is a pretty good picture of the usual :)



1. EYES

Sometimes I like to touch up my mascara throughout the day, or add a little more volume to my lashes. So, I always have my much loved Covergirl Lashblast Fusion Waterproof mascara and a metal-spiked lash comb to get out any unsightly clumps.



2. LIPS

If you can't tell already, I do love my lip products. While I'm not a huge collector, I firmly believe in a few things to keep your pout looking prim. First off, a plain balm. Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm keeps my lips feeling soft and smooth. Next, a tinted lip butter. Of course this isn't really necessary considering I already have a balm, but my Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose is too good to leave out. It adds the perfect amount of moisture a soft berry-red tint. Finally, a lip gloss. I'm pretty sure EVERY girl out there has at least one gloss in their bag, if not five ;) My Nars Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Piree is the perfect rose pink that goes with every look, and I love the smooth, creamy formulation. Think your lips but better.



3. FACE

So, nothing special here. First off, I have blotting papers to suck up any gross oil that has accumulated over time on my t-zone {blegh}. Then my trusty Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Creamy Beige and Smashbox mini fan brush to re-powder and fight off shine. Finally my Mac Fix+ Spray. This magical friend keeps my face fresh and dewy, stopping the dreaded "cake-face" in its tracks. Also, it smells amazing.


Except for a compact mirror, which was ugly in pictures, that's it! So, I hope you liked it, and....blog ya later! {haha, excuse my cheesiness}

CHANNELING MY INNER MARILYN MONROE.

hey guys! I was sitting around, listening to Modest Mouse, when I had the strange wave of sudden nostalgia for all things vintage. I know, totally weird right? Anyways, I was inspired, so I grabbed my various makeup things and set to work. I came up with a classic look inspired by Marilyn herself :) Obviously, I don't have the platinum blonde hair and huge lips to cater, but what do you think? I absolutely love the makeup in the 50's and 60's, especially the bold red lips. There is something so timeless and utterly classic about this look :)

P.S. Please ignore that annoying red dot on my face. I may or may not have ran into a car door.

TAYLOR SWIFT'S NEW MUSIC VIDEO!

hey guys! So, Taylor Swift made a music video for her song I Knew You Were Trouble. And lemme tell you, it is VERY different from everything else she has ever done. It has more....depth. I kinda like it :) It shows me she is capable of something more than the super upbeat good girl thing. Anyways, I can already tell that it is going to get a lot of hate....but I like it at least. Tell me what you think!

MY CURRENT OBSESSION: POLYVORE.

Hey guys! It's Wednesday, and while I should be studying for exams.....I've been doing something else *insert abashed smile*. Lately, I  have been obsessed with Polyvore! If you don't know what it is, its basically a fashion/beauty collage-ing site! You make your own crazy mash-up and then you can publish it for others to see :) Also, if you really like something you see, it shows you on the side where you can get everything! MONUMENTALLY AMAZING! haha, anyways, yeah, it' surprisingly fun, so I thought I would just share that with you guys. Below are the ones I've made so far.
