Some more neutral makeup

So I prefer colors, but neutrals can be pretty too! I did this last month and forgot about it. haha. But I like it so I'm putting it on the internet!! hahaha

too much flash so it looks lighter =/

I just like this picture =P

NYX lip pencils!!

I love NYX makeup! I did a video on all of my lip pencils from this brand.

I really love this video a lot, I'm super proud of it. I was still in my clothes I wore to school, so I had my cool little tie on. It wasn't tied too well, but hey it worked. Also I sat in a different location. I was right in front of my window; the lighting came out great. Also, my camera did a wonderful job focuses on the pencils and the swatches on my hand. There were a few parts where it didn't want to focus on my face, but it's okay because the important part was the pencils!
So if you like this video, then give me a thumbs up! And subscribe :D

I've neglected my blog again :( I didn't mean to...

I've been busy these past few days, but tomorrow I'll catch up on my blogging!
So I've been looking at the stats page recently, and I'm so happy to see the views that my blog gets! It's more than I thought :) So I'm super happy about that, thanks to anyone and everyone who looks at my blog!! So I will get back to my daily blogging, I just don't have time at this very moment :)

Candy Corn Kisses??

So since yesterday's post was about candy, I thought that today's post will be about a really gross candy that was in my Halloween trick or treat candy. 

I thought I was about to eat a Hershey's Kiss, you know, the regular chocolate one, but when I opened it, I saw that it was in fact colored like candy corn. And it tasted kinda like candy corn. It was gross. 

Candy is super unhealthy and makes you fat

Did I really just type that as the title?
Yes. Yes I did.
Because it's true! I might as well say it.
Because Halloween just occured a while ago, many people might have lots of candy in their possession. I know I do. I went trick or treating and I got me so much candy. This time of year is the ONLY time I allow myself to eat a lot of candy. Don't get me wrong, every now and then I like to enjoy a Snickers or some other chocolate. By every now and then, I really mean VERY occasionaly. I'm not a candy-eater. I HATE eating unhealthy food. Some of it tastes good, so occassionaly I'll eat it. But I do not eat it often. I couldn't eat junk food all the time, I can't do that to my body :)
So what I'm trying to say in this blog post, is that candy is very bad for you. But it is a holiday, so enjoy a few pieces of yummy candy. But don't go overboard. And seriously, don't eat it all the time!!

It's November. I'm sad.

Well It's November 2010. How this is possible, I have no idea. The eleventh month of 2010 already?! Seriously, I don't understand how this year is flying by. It's ridiculous! I STILL consider 2010 to be "new" or "just started". No joke. When I see on my iTunes a song has the year 2010 beside it, I'm like "oh already some new music this year!" But now I realize that lots of music has already come out in 2010 because, well, it's been 11 months!
I have a serious problem with time. It's really weird. I am always shocked by how quickly times goes by.
So it's November. Well I hate the fall. So all of November I'm miserable knowing the weather is super cold and getting colder as each day goes by. This depresses me. And my favorite holiday just ended so I have no holiday to look forward to now. I do get out of school for Thanksgiving break, and that is the ONLY good thing about this month to me. So, with that being said, I don't want to go to school and November for me is only good for getting me out of school.
So if you can't tell, I'm not happy that it's November.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I dressed up as a Taxi Cab driver :)

It's such an adorable costume! Some people actually asked me what I was, even though my hat says TAXI in all caps, just like that. Haha

I had a great time! I absolutely LOVE this costume! It's definitely one of my favorites ever!

Last year's Costume

This year I knew that it would be hard to top last year's costume. I expected to have a hard time finding a good costume I liked.

Last year I was a....

Sexy nun.
Complete with fish nets and high heels.
Oh yes.
:)
It was an amazing costume.
My dad didn't like it because he thought it was offensive to Christians. Well, I did get a few disapproving looks from older neighbors...but everyone else loved it!
I LOVE this costume! I had a great time last Halloween.
So how does this year's costume compare???.......

Halloween nails!

 

I really wanted to do a Halloween inspired manicure, so this is what I came up with. It's very simple, but I like it alot. After I finished, I thought I should have made the middle finger have a black tip instead of the thumb, but I was too lazy to change it. And the orange takes a while to dry, so I didn't want to have to wait for that again. 

I was going to a pumpkin, but it just looks like a random creepy face, so it works!

I'm going trick or treating!

I am 17 years old. And I am going trick or treating. Just like I do every year. Now some people might think I am too old to go trick or treating. I think they are incorrect. I'm still in high school, and I live with my parents, It's not like I'm in a steady career with my own house and bills and all that stuff. I'm young, I want to have fun. So that means, CANDY for meeee!! Even though as a teenager I get way less candy than when I was little. I dress up, I have a costume, I participate well. So I say, "trick or treat"!

Halloween is my favorite holiday

Why you ask?
1. I get to dress up in a super cute/hot costume
2. Candy from trick or treating
3. Dance partyyyy
4. It gives me something to look forward to in fall, which is a season I dislike
5. Seeing other people dressed up
How could this not be my favorite holiday?!

OMG there's no polish on my nails!

I did not wear nail polish today. This is very rare and unusual of me. For years I've been painting my nails. Leaving my nails discolored and really ugly. But I just always put polish on top of that so it didn't matter to me. Well this summer, when I was in Slovakia, I didn't have any polish to paint my nails with, but my current polish looked really bad so I took it off. That was when I realized I needed to fix my nails. They were so yellow it was disgusting. So right then and there I walked to the store to buy some nail polish, the whole way I was hiding my hands in my long sleeve shirt. This was my mom's hometown, it got pretty chilly there. In July, might I add. Anyways, I was so embarrassed and grossed out by my horrid nails. So I wore polish for the rest of the trip of course so no one would see it. Then when I came back to the states, I decided that I needed to take action.

So what I did was, I only did french manicures where I only painted the tips. For weeks, I had to use a natural nude color on the base of my nails. It was a very light color, so it needed many coats, but it didn't stain my nails. After 2 months I didn't have to use the base color, but the tips were still discolored but I could paint over them. Then each weekend when doing my nails, after I took off the polish, I just cut as much off as I could. Finally after 3 months, my nails grew and the stained parts are completely gone!

Here is my shock. OMG!

And voila! The tips could be whiter, but hey they're not yellow!

My Halloween costume came!

My Halloween costume that I ordered finally came in! I was so nervous about it that it wouldn't fit, but it fits!! I'm not going to say what it is just yet...but it's a great costume! I am in LOVE with it! I can not wait to wear it :D

Tired of bangs in your face?

If your bangs are long enough, then you might constantly be annoyed by them. You know, when they get all up in yo face and stuff. So here's a cute and simple hairstyle for your long bangs.
1. Part your bangs. Middle, left side, right side, wherever you want.
2. If you want to use hair products, get hair gel, spray, serum, or creme and smooth down your bangs with it. Don't put too much product, or your hair might get to looking a bit greasy.
3. Brush your other hair, not including your bangs, back away from your ears.
4. Grab all of your bangs on which ever side you start, and pull them to the side of your face, right to your ears.
5. Hold up your other hair and pin or clip your bangs right above or behind your ears, depending on how long your bangs are.
6. Cover the clip with your other hair by placing it over the tucked away bangs.
That's it! And hair spray if you'd like :)

So it's super simple. This is the first time I've written out directions for doing hair, so I hope it made sense!

That picture was taken last month, before I got my roots dyed and my bangs cut :/

Hard Candy blue mascara review

Hey! I filmed a review on the Hard Candy Lash Call lengthening mascara in peacock.

I wasn't originally planning on doing it, but I really wanted to make a video that day, so I picked this mascara to review because I hate it. So watch the review if you want to know why I think it's so horrible!

I'm getting excited for Halloween!

I'm getting excited for my favorite holiday! It's disappointing that it's on Sunday night. Boo :(  But I'm still going trick or treating!! And one of my friends is having a party on Saturday! :D I'm so excited!! I hate the fall, so this is the one day that makes it better!! I ordered the cutest costume online and I'm so excited for it to get here. It will be my best costume so far. I'm going to have A BLAST on halloween weekend! oh em geez :)

Actual real spiral curls in my hair! This is rare.

My hair is curly! Real spiral curls. It's amazing. I'm in love. 

So me and one of my best friends Ana went to a game together, so of course we had to get ready together. I went to her house and she did my hair. Now, let me just say, I freaking LOVE it when Ana does my hair. She can do amazing things with it! She can curl my hair perfectly. I can never curl my hair. It never works, my hair never holds the curl. But she can do it. I don't know if it's her skill, her products, or maybe she has some secret trick. But she can turn my stick straight hair that can't hold anything into perfect spirals. This time she put it up into a ponytail and it was absolutely gorgeous. I got so many compliments and I told everyone who did my hair that day :)

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle!!!

And now I present to you....the most amazing and effective conditioner....I've ever used:

 The Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. AKA amazing hair in a bottle.

I can not explain just how much I love this product right here. It's literally a MIRACLE. It works on my dry, damaged, straw-like hair. It makes my hair crazy soft. I just keep running my fingers through my hair after using this. My hair has never been this soft before. When I'm in the shower, rinsing it from my hair, my hair is soft already. When my hair is wet, it feels pretty coarse. But after this, it's incredibly soft. And it smells amazing. It has such a great fragrance. And it's less than $4 in my Walmart. Could this product be any more PERFECT?? It's my favorite hair product

I wasn't going for tiger nails, but this sure reminds me of that

So I absolutely loved having this on my nails. I think it's one of my best french manis so far! I'm trying to get more creative with them. Lately, I've been in love with my La Colors Art Deco polishes. Stripes are so much fun!

 These are the polishes I used:

Unfortunately, this mani chipped like a bitch. It was completely gone in about 3-4 days. The orange did not hold at all! The very next day, huge chunks were missing. I wish I was exaggerating, but it completely chipped off. It didn't even last 5 days. When I sat down to do my next mani, I didn't even use nail polish remover to get rid of this one. There were maybe 4 nails that had some polish left, and I just picked it right off. I loved this and wish it lasted longer. Oh well at least I have this picture!
