Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss

This is a product that no one can resist because it's FREE. This is the birthday gift that Sephora has been giving out recently to beauty insiders. It's free to sign up with Sephora's Beauty Insider program. You earn points with every purchase to get free samples and a free birthday gift like this one! My birthday was actually in March. I didn't go to Sephora at the time, so I got an email from them with a coupon that let me redeem my gift last month. The gifts change though, so it won't always be lipglosses.

POSITIVES:
- FREE. You can't get anymore affordable than that.
- Small squeeze tubes are easy to carry around.
- Has a sweet smell, almost like candy.
- Moisturizing and shiny.

CONS:
- Not very pigmented. The darkest shade does give lips a hint of color, but not what you see in the tube.

China Glaze Wild Mink + Konad

China Glaze in "Wild Mink." I know I've posted this before, but I think this is a better picture. This is probably my favorite nail polish. It's the one I use the most. I reach for this so much because application is so easy.

I was playing around with the Konad nail art kit. I used white for the design and added a shimmery pink top coat. The pinky nail design smeared! I'm still trying to get the hang of it, but it's really cool.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish everyone a

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday. Eat lots of yummy food! & Instead of thinking about the things you want, take the time to appreciate what you already have.

I'm most thankful for the people in my life. They're much more valuable to me than material possessions and I would be nowhere without them. My family, my boyfriend, my best friends.

I'm also thankful for my followers! Especially those who leave comments. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO:

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, with a refreshing fragrance, revitalizes greasy, dull and lifeless hair between washes. Instantly leaves your hair feeling clean, full of body, and smelling beautiful. Quick and convenient to use wherever you are.

Overall Rating: 5/5
Price: Around $6 at Sally Beauty Supply

This stuff is a life saver. It really soaks up the oil in my hair, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed. It saves me so much time in the morning. My hair (especially my bangs) gets greasy pretty quickly and I don't have to shampoo & straighten my hair every single day anymore. It has a sort of powdery scent, which isn't bad compared to other dry shampoos. Honestly, the expensive ones I've tried have such STRONG smells that I don't like at all. It's also much more affordable than other dry shampoos, and the bottle lasts me for almost a month. I like how it's in a spray can so I can carry it in my bag and use it if my hair starts getting oily throughout the day.

HOW I USE IT:

start off with shiny, but oily hair!


i brush my hair back a little bit first


spray the dry shampoo onto your hair


lift up strands of hair and spray into the roots


massage it in until the white color is gone


brush your hair again

Outfit of the Day?

I've been following a website called Chictopia for a while now. It's basically a website where people post pictures of their outfits. If you're interested in fashion I'd definitely check it out. It's really fun seeing what other people put together. I decided to make my own account. Maybe I'll start posting when I can take better pictures, haha.

Here's my outfit today though. Until now, the weather's been pretty warm staying in the 70's. Today was the first day of the season that the temperature was in the low 50's.

- white sweater (forever 21)
- green plaid jacket (forever 21)
- denim jeans (forever 21)
- white scarf (forever 21)
- black boots (union bay)

I guess it's obvious I love shopping at Forever 21 ><
