Recently while at Walmart I bought this clear tray organizer, and used it to get a better handle on organizing my beauty products. While lately I've been minimizing by only using eyeliner and mascara, I decided that I would be more encouraged to do my makeup if it was laid out in front of me, all organized and at an arm's reach. I designated the two back corner compartments for eyeliner and mascara, the front compartments for eyeshadow and face products, and in the middle back there are lip products and primers. As for my makeup brushes, what else other than a mason jar could even be considered? I bought clear pebbles and pearl beads and mixed them together in the bottom of the jar, then placed all of my makeup brushes in. A cute decoration - but also useful! Then in the very back I have an orange container holding all of my palettes. It's easy to collect a massive amount of makeup, but I've decided to minimize the makeup I purchase and attempt to begin to use more of it more often. <br />

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be showing you this little beauty that I found at Walmart today: The Nudes by Maybelline. This palette was $9.89 and comes with 12 different shadows, with a variety of mattes and shimmers. Upon inspection it reminded me heavily of my naked palette (more on that later). I decided to purchase it and see how it is! </div>

The packaging is quite simple, just plain black.</div>

Here are all of the colors in the packaging, and down below are some swatches! They're all over an e.l.f. primer. As you can see, the dark colors are very pigmented. The lighter colors still show up, but since they are light, it's harder to see, especially on my pale skintone...<br /><br /><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Upon comparison with my Naked palette, I found some pretty close dupes! The top two are from the Maybelline palette and the bottom two are from the naked palette. Dupes for smog and sin, not too bad for $10! I can see a lot of versatility in the palette as there is a great variety of looks from light to dark to create, even a black eyeshadow that shows up very well! Looking forward to creating some looks with the palette. Hope everyone is enjoying their fall so far! xx</div>

Hey guys! Today I have a quick post on this Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart / Valentine. I just recently picked this up because I wanted to try a bright color, and bright it is! This is a lovely bright pink that's perfect for making a statement and standing out. I think it's a lovely color to wear on valentine's day, and it's a stain so whatever you're doing [ ;) ] it won't go anywhere! It lasts all day and sometimes overnight. It's a great buy if you're looking for a good lip stain!jenxxhopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08684478336888866842noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436765423651397255.post-25889121778470339272013-02-03T19:53:00.000-05:002013-02-03T19:53:09.151-05:00New Makeup Storage<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey guys! So I know I haven't been posting lately, but I've had some serious technical difficulties, but they are fixed, so I'm back! This is my new makeup storage, and I'm thinking of doing a video on it. I really like it and I think it looks tumblr-worthy. :) </div>

Hey guys! So today I have a post on my new face product... that I created! While applying my makeup the other day, I realized that my foundation was too light and my bb cream was too dark. So, I mixed them together on the back of my hand and applied it to find that it had the perfect texture and moisture AND was the perfect color! I rooted through my drawers and found this little container that I bought a while ago for depotting my NYX shadow stick (which was a disaster) and mixed the two together inside to make my perfect foundation. I absolutely love it! It has light coverage (just what I need) good moisture, not too thick, and looks natural! I'm thinking about mixing a primer in to make it an all-in-one kind of thing, but I'm not sure yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if you find yourself in the situation where you don't have the right color foundation, try mixing some. You never know what you might discover ;)</div>

Hey guys! So today I have a post about this elf conditioning lip balm in Romantic Rouge, a pretty red color. It comes in a pot (with bulky packaging :P) and I use a lip brush to apply it. It's actually pretty pigmented and smells and tastes AMAZING! I practically lick it off my lips as soon as I put it on... hahah! This costs $3 and you can find it at eyeslipsface.com or target. I think it's worth looking into, if you're into yummy smelling and tasting lip products, and it comes in a few different shades. I believe this one is the darkest, though.jenxxhopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08684478336888866842noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436765423651397255.post-18703576359557712852013-01-20T12:12:00.000-05:002013-01-20T12:12:22.959-05:00Tarte Splendor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey guys! So today I'll be reviewing the Tarte Splendor blush. I got this in my Sephora In The Glow Kit that my friend Savannah gave me for Christmas. I'm not really a blush person, so I don't have much to compare this to, but it is really pretty!</div>

It's a shimmery light pink that's perfectly pigmented so that you don't look like a clown. I love the packaging and the imprint of the blush, I really think it adds to the beauty. This is an amazonian clay blush so it's actually good for your skin, and it does last its claims of 12 hours. If you're willing to shell out the money, this is a gorgeous blush! However, I have naturally red cheeks, and I don't like to wear blush often. I've only tried a select few Tarte products, but for the most part I've liked them!</div>

So I have decided to start something new: a fitness/diet routine. Now I'm not in anyway saying that I need to lose weight because that isn't what I need to do. I need to tone and strengthen my non-existent muscles, work on my flexibility, and try to have a better diet. So I have decided that this will be a month long journey, ending on Valentine's Day! We'll see where it goes from there. To track my progress and posts pertaining to Month of Fitness, I will be labeling all associated posts with mof. First order of business, I'm going to lay down some boundaries for myself.<br />
<br />
Exercise<br />
I'm not a hardcore exerciser, but I do walk my dogs every night with my mom for around an hour. On top of that I have found some youtube videos that I would like to use, mostly yoga. You can see the playlist of videos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjhHurGM-y_zU_2QTTrge_XkPqc04b56r" target="_blank">here</a> I have to do two videos each day, as well as play dance central on my xbox (which is fun anyways hahaha).<br />
<br />
Mealtime:<br />
I must always eat breakfast. My doctor tells me this is necessary, and when you don't, more fat is produced on your body. Whether it's something as small as a fruit or a yogurt, I still need to eat something.<br />
Lunch! Milk is great for my growing bones, so I can't buy any fancy sugary drinks. Also, no more snacks! I always get cookies or brownies, and I'll start buying fruit instead. Also, I can not buy from the pizza and fries line for the month. (My school has a center line that has things like that.)<br />
Snacks: I can have one snack a day, no more.<br />
For dinner, I will drink water, but eat whatever my parents feed me. Haha :)<br />
Throughout the day, I must drink lots of water. Water is so good for you and your skin, so it's essential to have with you at all times.<br />
*remember, this diet isn't a diet for losing weight, it's an attempt to feel and be healthier.<br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoy this new series, as I know I have never done posts of this genre, but I am very excited to start! I'll be keeping a journal and posting every friday.jenxxhopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08684478336888866842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436765423651397255.post-55014922499659658362013-01-12T14:37:00.000-05:002013-01-12T14:37:29.692-05:00elf Undereye Concealer & Highlighter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Recently from Target I picked up this elf under eye concealer and highlighter. It was $3 and I got it in the shade fair. It comes with two ends, essentially two products in one. One side is the concealer side, and the other is a highlighter. I like using both sides in conjunction to brighten and conceal under eye circles. As you can see in the pictures above, I make a ring around my eye with the concealer side, and then proceed to place one dot of highlighter in the center. When it's all blended out, your under eye circles are gone and the area is brightened. You can also use the highlighter side as an eye shadow base, the packaging mentions, but I haven't tried that. It's very sparkly so I wouldn't necessarily recommend using it as a face highlighter, but for your inner corner and cupid's bow, it could be a lovely highlight. I have been really enjoying this product and I'm glad I bought it! The only downside is that it's not great for covering blemishes because it is aimed towards the under eye, so you kind of need to have two concealers, another one for blemishes. </div>

Hey guys! Today I have a review on these elf Custom Eyes singles. They cost $1 and are the same size as a mac eyeshadow. Mac eyeshadows cost $12 each, 12x the cost of a single eyeshadow from elf. They have a large range of colors, but these were the only ones available in my target. You can find the rest online. You can also buy a palette from elf that holds 4 of these for $1, but since I had space in my mac palette I put them in there. I bought 6: ivory, a shimmery white, pink ice, a very light shimmery pink, wisteria, a shimmery light lilac/pinkish purple, wheat, a shimmery golden brown, moondust, a shimmery medium brown, and aubergine, a shimmery plum/eggplant. These eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, very soft, and buttery. When using them, you should definitely not swirl your brush, because it will cause a lot of fallout. A simple tap will give you the product needed, similar to wet n wild eyeshadows. The lighter colors aren't shockingly pigmented especially on the eyes, but hey, they are light colors. WIsteria, the light lilac/pink definitely isn't quite as vibrant on the eyes, but all the darker colors show up lovely. Now, here's for the shocking thing: I like these better than my mac eyeshadows! I'm the first one to admit I love me some expensive makeup with fancy name brands, but when it comes down to price and what works best, I have to side with these little babies. I'm so excited to try more colors, because the website has so many more gorgeous options! So, overall, even if you don't have a mac palette, get an elf quad and fill it. These are definitely worth the $5 it'll cost you to make the palette.</div>

Hey guys! So I went to target and picked up a few things and I figured I would show you! I realized my concealer was getting a bit too dark for me, so first I got this elf under eye concealer and highlighter that I've had my eyes on for a while. Also, I found out that the elf singles fit in mac palettes! I've had my mac palette since June and I only have 3 eyeshadows in it, so I figured why not fill maybe half of it with elf eyeshadows? My first impression of these shadows is that they're super pigmented and buttery and soft. The moisturizer I purchased because I need to pay more attention to my skin. I don't really do much besides wash it, which probably isn't enough, so I picked up a moisturizer. The black sheer tights were a must have for me, because they match just about anything. My obsession with tights is growing... (I bought 6 pairs from Charlotte Russe about two weeks ago). Finally, I got the maybelline line stiletto in blackest black because I have it in black/brown and I wanted black too. I'll be doing some reviews on these products, so keep a look out!

Hey guys! Today I have a post about this gorgeous mac palette that I got from my sister for Christmas. It's part of the holiday collection, but the eyeshadows inside can be bought full size. First let me just say, the packaging is ADORABLE! Mint with a bow? So cute. I keep this on top of my makeup storage, one for fear of it getting dirty, but also because I want to show it off! It's decorative and useful.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The eyeshadows it comes with are Blonde Mink, Magical Mist, Brun, Enviable, and Smut. It also comes with a mini 213 brush!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Left to right:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blonde Mink: a neutral light grayish-tan color with shimmer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Magical Mist: a sparkly light taupe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brun: a darker brown, appears matte but it a satin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enviable: gorgeous shimmery teal/silver</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Smut: a nice dark brown</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it a beauty! It suits my blue/green eyes very well. You can go dramatic and dark, or light, or even colorful because of Enviable. These shadows are absolutely gorgeous and the face that they're not crazily pigmented makes them easier to work with in my opinion. As for the brush, it's kind of tiny, so not quite so useful, hahaha. Anyways, so overall I really like these shadows. I have quite a small Mac collection, so this added to it. So far I have only tried Mac eyeshadows. I would really like to try some lipstick, lipglass, and highlighters. Maybe in the future! </div>

Hey guys! So, since 2012 is over, I figured I'd do a best of 2012 post! I couldn't choose just 12 products of course...

I wonder what will happen by the time I'm writing my Best of 2013 post! Exciting things to think about. Anyways, on to the post!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey guys! Today I'm reviewing benefit's They're Real! mascara. The mini size I have was $10, and I recieved it from a friend for christmas. Full size is $23.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The brush is spiky and the tip of it is almost ball like, covered in spikes.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It does give a nice amount of length and separation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I applied this at around 11:30, and my eyelashes did uncurl by 4, but that's not bad for a non waterproof mascara! I did like it a lot, but it didn't make it look like I was wearing fake lashes. It's a really nice mascara, however, and I like to layer it atop other mascaras. </div>
Length: 4/5<br />
Separation: 3.5/5<br />
Volume: 3/5<br />
Stay Power: 4/5<br />
<br />
Overall: 3.5/5<br />
I'm still looking for that perfect mascara that makes my lashes look amazing. This was good, but not go-to.<br />
<br />

Hey guys! So today I am doing my second 'Products I Don't Use Enough' post. These are products that are really great and that I love, but I just hardly use them!<br />
<br />
First, at the top left, is my elf duo eyeshadow cream in Butter Pecan. These make great bases for eyeshadow.<br />
<br />
At the top right is my ULTA whipped eyeshadow in tiramisu. I absolutely love this. It stays on all day without a primer and has great pigmentation<br />
<br />
Last, my NYX lip glosses. These are so pigmented and nice looking, but I just don't wear gloss all that often. Top is french kiss, middle is beige, and bottom is nude peach.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hey guys! Today I'm doing another hair post because it got some votes on my poll and I hardly ever do any. This is how to style second day curls with one bobbypin. Sounds kinda random, I know, but sometimes all you can find is a single bobbypin and you gotta fix your hurr! Anyways, here are two easy hairstyles.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Gather your hair to the side opposite your part</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Take one piece of hair from the side of your part, and twist it around your hair, forming what looks like a hair tie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Place the bobby pin in the back of your ponytail to hide it.</div>
<br />
<br />

1. Take two pieces of hair from either side of your head<br />
2. Twist them together in the back of your head<br />
3. Slide the bobbypin horizontally across the twisted part<br />
<br />
So those are the two styles I came up with. I hope you enjoyed this post! :)<br />

Hey guys! So today I have my outfit I wore for Christmas day. I love this dress because it's a nice cranberry maroon color with gorgeous lace detail. To stay warmer, I added a pair of white tights. For shoes, I wore my gray toms.<br />
