PM

Tuesday I start cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell. I'm so incredibly excited but also sooooo nervous. I've never touched a pair of sheers in my life. For the most part I know I want pursue make up more so than hair but since I've never done it before I could change my mind. I'll be sure to update regularly about my experiences and journey I'm about to embark on! Fingers crossed! Xx

What's On My Mind

                    

What's On My Mind:

Lately I've had a couple products and things that I really want to try out (my excuse for buying things). I'm really enjoying the summer so far and all these products just scream summer to me. Of course I'm loving coral along with everyone else but honestly what is there not to love about the color. Below I'm going to list the products and prices! Xo

1. Make Up Forever / Mat Velvet + : This foundation has been 

on my radar for quite some time due to the fact that I have Oily/Combination 

skin that tends to lean more on the oily side during the summer. I've heard great 

reviews about it so it's something I'm definitely going to purchase once I've gone 

through some more of the other foundations I have (I just bought the Estee Lauder 

Double Wear foundation :/) It retails at $36.00.

2. Kate Spade Tiles Scarf : I'm swooning over this scarf right now. The colors

are so beautiful and the print is just the right amount of crazy and basic that 

I love wearing. I've never had a Kate Spade scarf but I have felt them at Nordstrom

and they feel similar to the Diane Von Furstenburg one I have that I absolutely love. 

It retails at $98.00. 

3. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar / Femme : I have never tried

anything like a lip tar/stain before but I keep hearing about how amazing

this product is. I've watched a couple tutorials on how it's applied and it's 

basically like a lip stick lip gloss and it's applied with a brush. I reallllllly want to 

purchase one but I can't bring myself to doing it right now, hopefully soon! It

retails at $18.00. 

4. Baublebar Neon Aqua Bib : Can we just talk about this necklace for a moment? 

It actually has everything I could ever want in a necklace: bib style, neon, spikes. 

I'm currently on the waiting list for this piece because 

it needs to be in my jewelry collection. It retails at $36.00.

5. Zara Leather Sandal : I have been wanting a pair of heels like this for about six months now but keep putting off buying them. Considering pretty much all I wear is neutrals, I really feel these shoes could find a solid place in my wardrobe. 

They are timeless and I can really see myself wearing them often. The strap across the ankle is also very flattering I find. They retail at $80.00. 

6. The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer : I am dying to try anything by The Balm in general but considering I have so many blushes, and it's summer, I think a bronzer is a good place to start. I really love this bronzer because it's matte. I really don't like sparkly/shiny things on my face because of how oily my face is. It's also that perfect brown-bronze color unlike most bronzers that are more orange in color. It retails at $20.00.

7. Kate Spade Live Colorfully Perfume : I'm going to be honest I've never smelt this

but I'm a sucker for packaging and this perfume is no exception. I also love anything

Kate Spade does so I'll have to find it in stores and smell it to make a final decision, but

I'm sure I'll love it. It retails at $75.00.

8. Cargo Blush / Key Largo : I've played around with this blush at my work (Ulta) and I really really really like it. The color itself is fricken amazing. The blush itself is also very creamy and easy to blend which is something I really enjoy. It retails at $29.00.

9. Michael Kors Turquoise Pave Stud Earrings : I absolutely LOVE silver and 

turquoise paired together so obviously I would love these earrings. On top of it

they are studs which I prefer to wear because they are comfortable and can be casual or 

dressed up. They retail at $75.00. 

Recent Mac Purchases

I figured while I had time I would add the pictures of what I got first and show 

swatches later when the lighting is better. It's been so overcast here in Missouri! 

Once I've worn all three of these products I will be able to give a much more in depth review.

From top to bottom:

1. Brave (Satin) $15.00 - Pink-beige with white pearl

2. Candy Yum Yum (Matte) $15.00 - Neon Pink

3. Richer, Lusher $20.00 - Pink coral 

Update!

I'm about to upload some pictures/reviews of some recent purchases I've made. Just gotta wait for my camera to charge. They will be up momentarily! XO

Daily Picture Post: 

This picture of me was taken by my old friend Dylan Brady about a year ago. 

He is such a talented person. He actually excels in every thing he does it's amazing.

Currently he's going to school for producing music. I'll link to his soundcloud, check it out!

I couldn't think of a title for this post due to the fact that I am so frazzled from work I can't think about something like that right now. How pathetic is that? Anyways, today nothing interesting happened. I worked from 4-9 which to most doesn't seem like a long time, but for some reason today went by too slow my liking. Tomorrow I'm promising myself that I will go out and take some pictures and start working on some actual informational posts for this blog because the past couple two days I've been too busy to start working on it. Anyways I'm going to to head to bed. Night xo!

adventure

Today I embark on a journey that could take me one of two places: 'heaven' or rockbottom. Starting a blog is something I feel that is so incredibly overdone that it almost feels pointless starting, this is probably why I've put it off for so long. I honestly have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I used to be so savvy when it came to computers and HTML (MySpace) and all that other nonsense, but I've completely forgotten all of it. So now I feel like a newborn baby calf who's just gotten on its feet for the first time, awkward and susceptible to all the odds. I'm sure I'm the only one who is following that analogy, but hey, it works in my mind. It's currently 2:30 AM which is something I am all to familiar with. Me and 2 AM have a love hate relationship. A relationship that I can not seem to break off. The thing about this blog I'm starting is that it will be random and it will be most likely pointless, but it's something I want to do so I'm going to do it. So now I'm off to try and find some shit on google that will help jog my memory and hopefully make this thing a little less ugly. Goodnight xo!
