Mint for Spring: Lauren Conrad Inspired Outfit #3

This is the exact top (but in a different color) as the one in the photo from her LC line

nordstrom.com

Here is an alternative to the top above. Even though this top is a little bit different than the one she is wearing, it still gives a similar effect with the cinching.

Mint colored jeans are really in this season, and are available in many stores.

These shoes are from her LC line

In the picture, it looks like she's wearing a white bracelet. It pulls the look together.

Even though I can't tell whether or not she's wearing earrings, I think that a pair or delicate mint colored studs would look nice with the outfit.

Thank you!

May 2012 Favorites: Apps

I'm sooo sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I'm been really busy with testing, SAT, upcoming exams, etc. Hopefully I will be able to post more after school end which is in a few weeks. Anyways, enough with the excuses. :P
I decided to do a may favorites for the apps I've been using.
I'm so sorry that this is not a beauty post. I will hopefully be posting more beauty posts later this week!
Here are a couple of my favorite apps:

AOL radio

Scramble with Friends (free)

The great thing is that they are also both free!
AOL radio: When I first got this app, I actually did not like it at all. I recently started using it again, and it has become my favorite radio app. I'm actually not sure why I didn't like it before. I love how you can not only choose from over a 100 radio stations, but at each radio station, if you don't like a song their playing, you can just click for the next song. Would totally recommend it!

Scramble with Friends (free): This one may be fimilar to a lot of you. I've been playing this game against my friends, and the nice thing about it is that each game is short. :)

What are your favorite apps?

I hope this helped!
Thank you <3

Spring Fashion 2012: Lauren Conrad Inspired Outfit #2

I love Lauren Conrad's style! I know that I did a post in the fall on an inspired outfit based off of her style. I decided to do one for spring!

How to recreate her look:
Top:

Modcloth Lattice Top

Any cream or light pink flowy tank will work for this.

Shorts:

Here are the exact shorts from the photo (part of her LC line for Kohls)

Here are another pair of lace pink shorts from Lulus.com

Shoes:

These are her exact shoes from the photo, also from her LC line.

Ring:

Catbird rings

In the photo, she is wearing a silver ring. It is hard to see the details, but a silver ring would add a nice touch.

Earrings:

Carole Floral Heart Stud Earrings

 Even though you can't tell whether or not she's wearing earrings, I think that this pair would go well with the outfit.

I hope this was helpful!

Thank you for reading!

School Makeup Routine!

As a junior in high school. I don't put on a whole lot of make up in the morning, because I try to get as much sleep as I can get! Everyday varys with my makeup, but here's a general layout of what I where everyday to school.
Please keep in mind, most school days are just concealer and mascara, but if I want to do more, this is all what I will do on a school day. :)

Eye: I usually only stick to mascara and concealer, but a few of days a week, I'll do my full school eye routine (which is below)

First, I apply an under eye concealer to cover up those dark circles from a lack of sleep. I use Maybelline's "Fit Me" concealer.

I apply a primer, then all over the lid, I use the lighter color from Clinique's Eye shadow duo in "Rosewine," and sometimes mix it with a soft light pink.

My outer half/crease color, depends on my mood. I will usually wear a soft matte brown for a more soft, subtle look , like the lid color from the Maybelline quad "Chai Latte. Sometimes though, I'll wear "MAC's "All that glitters."

Recently, on my tight Line, I apply Revlon's Colorstay Pencil Eyeliner in "Black"

I then curl my lashes and apply Covergirl's Lastbast mascara.

Face
I don't wear foundation, but a occasionally will where this blush:

NYX cream blush in "Rose Petal"

Lips
Just chapstick, and I'm good to go!

Tell me if you would like a review on any of these products!
I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow and comment!

Spring/Early Summer Makeup Essentials!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting very much for the last few months. I'm sorry about the excuses, but I have been really busy with school lately (SAT, ACT, testing, ect.) Hopefully when summer rolls around, I will be posting more! Now enough with the excuses!
Spring is here and summer is just around the corner! Here are some of my spring/early summer makeup essentials!

1. Light Eyeshadows: Whether they're a light champagne color or a light pink, light eyeshadow is a must for those who like wearing eyeshadow in the spring!
2. (Matte) Bronzer: As you are getting more tan, a natural bronzer like NYC's "Sunny" Bronzer (shown in the photo) is nice to have to even our your skin, while giving you a glow!
3. BB Cream/ Tinted Moisturizer: Since it's starting to get warmer outside, step away from your thicker foundation and go for a lighter coverage! BB creams are great for this :). (Tell me if you would like a post about BB creams)
4. Waterproof Eyeliner: As you are starting to hit the pool more often, go for a waterproof eyeliner that will last your through the day.
5. Lip Balm with SPF: Whether you're a makeup junkie or not, this should be a stable for everyone! Just like the rest of your body, you need to protect your lips from the sun!
6. Cream Blush: Cream blushes like the NYX cream blush in "Rose Petal" (shown in the photo) blend in with your skin, giving you that glowy look. Pink cream blushes are perfect for spring.
7. Tinted Lip Balm: Tinted lip balms like the Revlon lip butter in "Peach Parfait" are great because they give you a tint while moisturizing and protecting your lips.
8. Waterproof Mascara: This is something that every girl should have if they are planning on going to the pool. This will also last you through those hot spring and summer days!

I hope you guys enjoyed!

Quick Tip: Maintaining Eyebrows (without eyebrow gel)

I don't know about you, but I have those days when my eyebrows are just crazy. If you don't have brow gel, another way of maintaining them is using hairspray. It's super easy!
Heres how:

• Taking a medium-max hold hairspray (anything type of hairspray can work) and a eyebrow groomer/brush, spray the eyebrow brush two times (may depend on the hairspray you use). 
• Make sure that you have enough hairspray so that you can feel it on the brush, but not too much (like the brush is dripping in hairspray).
• Use the hairsprayed brush on your brows as if you were just grooming your eyebrows.
• Grooming your eyebrows: First, brush the hairs up, and then brush straight across, following your natural eyebrow shape, so that there are no more hairs sticking up.
• Now you have eyebrows that will stay in place all day!

This is a good way to maintain your eyebrows, but make sure you wash the brush weekly.
I hope this helped!
