Favorite Lashes of the Month!

For the past two months I've been wearing nonstop these AMAZING limited edition MAC lashes #35! They were once permanent at MAC stores only then got discounted. I was uber excited when they got relaunched during Marilyn Monroe collection (October 4, 2012)!

I'm big when it comes to lashes! I love how they can completely transform your look in minutes. If you were to ask me "what can't I leave the house without?" (makeup related). It's definitely hands-down mascara and lashes! What girl doesn't love these two products?! Lol

Lash Details: These #35 are quite natural looking believe it or not. I really like how they are spaced out which gives them that unique edgy look. The hairs are place longer at the middle point and shorter at both ends. Thanks to the brown and black hair on it too, it gives them that natural look. Most importantly the band is clear, super thin, and comfortable! Which is a big part when trying to make sure they marry well with your real ones.

I get so many compliments out of them. They are if not my second favorite pair of lashes!

Get Ready With Me!

Here's my everyday look video that I did on my YouTube channel from start to finish (link to video will be listed below). What's different about this and DEFINITELY out of my ordinary comfort zone is that I normally don't do videos like this one where I show my bare (no makeup) face. I think because a lot of times we become so self-conscious about "baring it all" that we're afraid what others will say. And most of the time that can be a scary thing to do too especially on YouTube where people can be mean and cruel. But one important thing I've learned while making videos throughout my 3 years is that...you have to present and be YOURSELF. I know I sure don't wake up every morning looking glam! I have acne/scars all over my face, dark circles, redness, puff eyes, and uneven skin tone. At the end of the day I have just or even more flaws as like anyone would and that's the point that I wanted to make when I decided upon making this transformation video.

So I hope you guys can appreciate and watch this video and say "no one is perfect".

YES I'm awared! + Glitter platform wedges

So weirdly enough I don't know what happened to my pictures on here but apparently it got removed/deleted. Annoyed. I won't re-post them up since that will just take too much of my time, instead I'm gonna start blogging again to make it up for my followers who are still following. Of course that would mean NEW pictures and updates coming soon! :)




In the meantime, I came across these glitter platform wedge shoes today at Charlotte Russe. I like them but we all know how uncomfortable Charlotte Russe shoes can be. They rarely ever carry half sizes on their shoes nowadays. So the 6 I tried on was too tight and the 7 was kinda big. Have you guys seen them around at your Charlotte Russe? What's your thoughts on it?

Innocent is always PRECIOUS

I took this picture a few days ago in my car. I thought I'll share an innocent "natural" look with you guys lol. It kills me whenever people see my tutorials on YT & automatically assume I'm nothing but a bold, smokey eyes makeup type of girl. Believe it or not but when I'm not posting up videos of me I'm pretty much this everyday. So don't hate if you can't understand that I can dish out dramatic looks and stay natural and soft as well.
