The World is a Dangerous Place

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, it was kind of a rough day and I went to bed much earlier than I normally do, so I just ran out of time. For those of you who don't know, I was in a car accident yesterday but I'm not injured and my car is, for the most part, fine. However, I had never been in an accident before and while it wasn't my fault, it was still really scary and I was shaking in my boots basically all night. So today I decided that I would hold off on the original blog I had planned and just let you guys what's going on in my life. As always, if you have any suggestions for upcoming posts let me know and I'll talk to you later! 

Walk the World Like It's Your Runway

Hey everyone! There are so many fashion trends out there that I see on runways and the red carpet that I can't see anyone wearing in everyday life, but one trend I've come to love is the high-low hemline. I wasn't a huge fan of this trend at first, but it's definitely grown on me and now I'm finding the cutest high-low dresses and skirts. Many of the clothing items are a bit too fancy to wear shopping or to class, but I have found some adorable skirts and dresses that can be made casual with simple sandals or dressed up with heels and a blazer or statement jewelry. Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite trend is and if you like this kind of post and I'll talk to you later!

Top 10 Under 10

Hey everyone! Today I went to MAC and was looking at makeup and realized how expensive some makeup can be, and while it's really good quality makeup, there are usually drugstore dupes that are just as good. So, I decided I would let you in on my top ten favorite drugstore makeup products for under $10.
Foundation: Covergirl Clean Liquid Makeup for sensitive skin
Powder: Covergirl Professional Loose Powder
Bronzer: Rimmel London Natural Bronzer
Concealer: e.l.f. Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter
Mascara: Covergirl Lashblast Volume Mascara
Eyeshadow: Hard Candy Top Ten Eyeshadow Palette
Lips: Maybelline Color Whisper
Eyeliner: Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner
Eyebrows: e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit
Makeup Brushes: Sonia Kashuk at Target

I hope you guys enjoyed, leave comments with suggestions, and I'll talk to you later!

Lashes For Days

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to review the mascara that I have been obsessed wit for about two years now. I used to try out different mascaras all the time, trying to find one that was perfect for me, and while trying out different brands, I came across the Covergirl Lashblast Volume mascara and I am in love! It's the best mascara that I have ever used, but I know it's not for everyone. I like it because I have naturally long eyelashes, but they aren't as thick or dark as I like them, and that's what this mascara is really good at. If you're looking for length, this isn't the mascara for you, but if you just want them to curl and have volume then it's perfect. I usually use either the brown one or the brown black mascara because I think they make my eyelashes look more natural than black mascara does. If you have any mascara suggestions let me know and I'll talk to you later!

My Everyday Makeup

Hey everyone! I am definitely not one of those girls who wears a full face of makeup everyday (who has time for that?) but I do tend to lean toward the same products everyday because once I get in a routine, I usually don't change it much except for maybe my eyeshadow (although it's almost always neutral). So here are the products that I use basically everyday that I wear full makeup. I hope you enjoy and I'll talk to you later!

Nailed it!

Hey everyone! There are many things that I don't like to do because I don't have the patience, but painting my nails is something I can always make time for. Yes, it would be easier to just go to the salon every two weeks and have someone do my nails for me, but my wallet would be very unhappy with me and why spend so much money on getting them done when I can just paint them myself? I also love changing my nail color often so having something like acrylic nails doesn't really work. As far as nail polish goes, I love OPI but I can't really justify spending $8 on a nail polish that I probably won't even finish (poor college student here) so I usually buy the Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear nail polishes. They have a great consistency and there are so many beautiful colors to choose from. Even better? They cost less than $3. Some of my favorite colors from this brand are: Celeb City, which is a very sparkly silver, Blue Me Away, which is a bright sky blue, Pacific Blue, which is a periwinkle-blue color, and Coral Reef, which is a coral that has more pink tones than orange tones. These are amazing nail polishes so if you try them out let me know, or tell me your favorite nail polishes and I'll talk to you later!

Getting Creative With Colors

Hey everyone! Recently I tried out another product that I had never tried before (I know, I'm addicted) and I am in LOVE! I've tried gel liners before but never wanted to pay for a color other than black because I thought, "when will I ever wear that" and "that's too much money for such a bold, not very wearable color". I then decided to just use colorful eyeshadow on an angled eyeliner brush whenever I want a pop of color, but that doesn't stick quite as well as gel liners do. So the result? A reasonably priced gel liner that is pigmented, stays on all day, and has the perfect consistency. BH Cosmetics has gel liners that are only $3.50 and it comes in so many colors, some of them bold, and some of them more of a neutral. The one that I have is in the color sand which is a really pretty shimmery gold color. It looks amazing on the bottom lashline and I can't wait to try more colors. And another tip: these don't only have to be used as eyeliner, they can be used as an eyeshadow base, the lighter colors can be used as a highlight, and the pinks can be used as blush or a lip stain. If any of you try these out let me know. And I definitely recommend trying out BH Cosmetics for affordable makeup with amazing quality. I hope you enjoyed and I'll talk to you later!

 

Add Some Color To Your Life

Hey everyone! Recently I tried out a new lip product and I am in love! The Maybelline Color Whispers are simply amazing! I had never tried them before because they are $6 and I have a really hard time spending money on lipsticks because I never know what it will actually look like once it's on my lips, however, this price is really good compared to similar lip products from other brands. The color I got is number 40, Orange Attitude.

When you look at the packaging it looks like a really scary bright orange, but on the lips it shows up more as a red-orange and is really pretty. These lip products are super moisturizing and I would definitely recommend that you try them out and I'll talk to you later!

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Hey everyone! Today I decided to get crafty and made a dream catcher. It turned out so well that I started thinking about other things I could make to decorate my room. There are so many amazing DIYs out there (Pinterest is fantastic) and I decided to make some decorations for my friends for their apartments. Since I'm living in my sorority this year, I don't get to do much decorating to my room, but I now have so many ideas for when I finally do live in my own apartment. I'm not going to go into detail about how I made the dream catcher because there are countless videos on Youtube about it (I learned from this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ-SRBowzeM), but if you have any specific questions like where I got anything just leave a comment and I'll talk to you guys later!

Hello Hair!

Hey everyone! As many of you may know, I dip-dyed my hair a few weeks ago and I have gotten so many questions about whether or not I did it myself, what kind of dye I use, etc. When I first dyed it, the ends were a dark, vibrant purple, but over time it's faded to a light purple/pink color which I absolutely love. The dye I used did fade really fast, but last summer I used the same dye in a different color and it lasted for months, so it may just depend on the color. As far as the dye goes I use Splat semi-permanent dye and basically just take sections of hair, bleach it, wash the bleach out, then add the dye. The directions are super easy to follow and I like doing dip-dye because the precision and accuracy doesn't matter; the different amounts of hair dyed makes it look more edgy and unique. If you try it out or have any suggestions for different brands of dye, leave a comment below and I'll talk to you later!

It's the Perfume Things in Life

Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't blog last night I just ran out of time. Anyways, the blog that was supposed to go up yesterday is a lotion/body spray/perfume blog. I realize that I have a ridiculous amount of all of these things which is why I'm not going to go through everything in the pictures. My favorite products in this category that I own are my Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction (I have the body lotion, perfume, and body spray), my Taylor Swift Wonderstruck perfume, and Bali Mango by Bath and Body Works. If you have any questions about any of the products in the pictures then leave me a comment and I'll talk to you later!

Byeee!

Radiant in Neutrals

Hey everyone! I've decided to kick off my blog with a short product review. One of my favorite makeup products lately has been my BH Cosmetics 88 Neutrals Palette. I'm usually not into wearing a lot of eye makeup, but since I got this palette, I have been wearing eyeshadow everyday! The pigment of the colors is amazing (especially for the price) and all of the colors are super wearable since it's a neutral palette. Neutral doesn't always have to be boring, which is proven by the purple, orange, red, and silver tones that are in this palette. The size of the colors themselves are pretty small, but if there is a color that you like, it's really cheap to just buy the individual color online. However, I've noticed that even the small colors will last a very long time because since they are so pigmented, you don't have to use as much product. If any of you have tried out this product or have any questions about it leave a comment telling me what you think! I hope you enjoyed!

It's Only the Beginning...

Hey everyone! My name is Maisie and I'm a normal girl who suffers of boredom and needs a way to occupy my time. I really love anything beauty and fashion related, so most of my posts will probably be product reviews and the like. I doubt anyone will actually see this but if you do then feel free to leave a comment with anything you would like me to blog about and I will be happy to give it a go! I'm excited to start my blog and see where it goes! Well, bye for now! :)
