Beauty in gray and maroon - OOTD, OOTN

Well the wind where I live is something fierce! Now other then the fact that the wind is just crazy I on the other hand look fabulous of course ha. Some many things could have gone wrong  today it is just unreal! Now last night where I lived the power went out and trees were knocked down due to the gust of wind that seem to take over my little town but it crazy outside today along with a nice breeze and the sunshine. But thankfully just a few moments after I woke up the lights and what not came back on and I was able to pull off this great look yesterday :)

As you can see with my makeup I just kept it simple. Brown eyeshadow and the classic winged eye liner. ( I actually have been wearing this makeup look like everyday) the products I used for this look were:maybelline new york I talked about ( HERE ) I used my Esteee Lauder liquid eye liner, as well for my brows a MAC brow pencil and for my lashed I used Estee Lauder and and mascara called " show time"  but sadly I have no idea what it is called :( I do know that it is a drug store mascara. also in my water line I just used a white pencil and I smudged a black eye liner pencil on my bottom lashes and I left my inner corner with out anything I thought it looked better.

For my hair I simply washed it and dried it with a hair drier and brushed it with a paddle brush while drying it. Then the next morning ( thankfully the power came back on!) I only straightened my bangs and my cowlick haha and then I took my conair I believe it is a 1 inch and curled my hair about half way up and I held it there for 20 seconds each time then sprayed with hair spray and I did this all around my hair and I did not - KEY WORD DID NOT - brush out my hair or run my fingers through it. All I did was just leave it as is. I brushed out my bangs a little and slightly brushed the top of my head to add some volume but after that I just left it.  The curls a bit different from this morning but I really liked how they turned about as the day went on it was like having loose beach waves and I really liked that, but it also looked good as is this morning.

Now for my accessories I kept it really simple all I wore is some earrings I got from my mom and a ring I got from my mom on my 14th birthday that I wear all the time. I can not tell you where any of these things came sadly the ring is really old and the earrings my mom had from a long time as well.

Now for the outfit it was warm and cozy! The sweater and under shirt both came from JcPenney, my jeans came from factory connection, and my boots are from a brand called " hot cakes".

Now just as a side note if you wanted to wear this as a casual weekend look you can so go for that then if you want to go out at night then you can dress it up like this. Once again the same top with a gray skirt the one I have on is from forever21, and you can also pair it with a black skirt it you want.  The hosiery that I have on is from JcPenney, and you can pair this with some maroon shoes but I paired it with black heels.

As always I hoped you enjoyed my blog and big thanks for reading it! You can be a knock out even the world is ending ;) haha!

Things I am loving this month!

Hello beauties! So this is just going to be a laid back post, of things I am loving this month. After one hell of a week at work and being the fact that I have a huge headache right now, things are going to be simple so for this post and then stay tuned for the end of the blog I will be talking about some of the things I plan on doing for the new year! :)

Neutrogena - healthy skin concealer

This concealer is freaking amazing! My skin even looks a lot clearer now and love it.  I have been using it for about a month now, but I just really like it. The price is not bad at all, and I use a concealer brush when I put it on and it last for the whole day, so that is a win in my book.

MAC powder blush

I got some MAC powder blush and totally worth the money! I get such a nice glow using this and it not to dark but not to light, so you really do not have to put that much on. Of course I do not remember the name of my actual blush this color seen above is too dark for my skin tone.

Double Wear- Estee Lauder Liquid eyeliner

I did a review on this eyeliner along with a bunch of other Estee Lauder items. But I have been using this eyeliner almost every day that I do my makeup and it is just so amazing I can not rave about it enough.

Well to be honest this is not my actual nail polish that I have used but the idea is still the same haha! It is glitter nail polish :) I am really liking the glitter nail polish, it just brightens me up and it fits the season and really all year round plus I just really like glitter ( who doesn't ?)

Now I am really happy to talk a little about what I plan on doing for the new year :)  As of January 1, 2013 I plan on starting to do video blogs, more hauls, and even more makeup ideas! I even want to try and start up a youtube channel but we will just see how things go as of now and hopefully I gather more readers in the new years.

As for this blog I want to thank you all for reading, and be sure to comment, as well as subscribe by email.

My Favorites in Fashion and Beauty!

I have lots of favorites but I figured that today I would break down my top six fashion and beauty favorites, three being beauty and the other three being fashion. So lets starts before I start to ramble on haha.

Whiskered Skinny Jeans - Forever 21

I love skinny jeans...for the love of all things if they are ripped I am twice as likely to buy them.  I first did not really like skinny jeans it was just something about them that made them look like they are just not comfortable, but wow I was really amazed. Of course I noticed that other girls were wearing them and to me I just did not want to conform and go with what everyone else was wearing but doing my back to school shopping in 7th grade I tried someone just to try them on and that is when the addiction on the skinny jeans started, it was also when my emo/scene days started but that is just a totally different story for a different time. Although I do have a rule for when I wear skinny jeans. NO tennie shoes whats so ever! I only wear uggs ( yes I still wear uggs lol ) boots/ heeled boots, Ballet flats, or flip flops.  I feel like wearing tennie shoes with skinny jeans it just looks weird or atleast it looks weird on me haha.

spiked bow uber platform pump - charlotte russe

Ok all in all I love a good pair of pumps these are just extra cute because they have the spikes and that adds a bit of flare to them. I am kinda short, or least I feel short haha I am  5'4 but in general I love a good pair of heels. They make me feel tall and sexy! Of course who does not want to feel that but also they make my legs look even longer. For a short girl ( ok normal size I guess lol!) I pretty long legs so that is a plus. But I love heels the taller the heel the better!

BLTD Lace Peasent top - Rue 21

I have for some reason really been loving lace. I have no clue why but I over the summer got a lace top and from there on out I just feel in love it. I know some people may think it have this old lady feel to it but done up and worn in the right way it looks really well. I have this classic feel to it and if you pair it with a leather jacket or some spiked heels you can have an edgy style that is girly and chic yet so vintage and edgy and something about that just speaks to me, that I really like.  None of that probably made any since lol but to me it does and if you love lace like I do then you might be able to understand at least half of what I said lol!

mega hair spray mega hold - aussie

This hair spray smells so good, and it really works. Aussie in general is a really good brand and I can highly recommend using it but ah it just smells so freaking good. The other night I curled my hair so that in the morning I would not have to worry about and sprayed it with some of this hair spray and WOW! It held all night long woke up and had the same great hair still, now I must say that is the clear way or saying that this product works.

Time zone - Estee lauder

To wrinkle or not to wrinkle...ha not wrinkle! haha This product is really great of of course as I stated in a one of my other blogs I am only 17 and I do not have wrinkles but none the less it is never to early to start. I use this in the morning because it has spf and it makes my skin feel super soft. I know it cost a lot of money but this is something that I would recommend getting it is well worth the money.

style elements  flat iron

I actually have no idea where you can get this flat iron, because I got it for Christmas but I use this thing everyday ( no joke)  It works really well and it heats up so fast, I actually curl my hair with this flat iron and it works really well. So two thumbs up from me :)

As you can see these are my top favorites of  fashion and beauty. As always I hope you enjoyed reading please feel free to subscribe by email, and send to others ( share the edge! )

Estee Lauder review

Last month I did a product review on the double matt oil control foundation ( click HERE to see it) But now I am doing a review on all my Estee Lauder products :)

Double wear zero smudge liquid eye liner 

With this product I really do not have anything to complain about, honestly the tip of the brush is great to do a cat eye look and it stays on all day, when they say zero smudge they mean it.  As you see if you click the link they offer it in both brown and black I have the black in it is a nice bold color, It looks really good! Once I have nothing bad to say about this product.

 I have a Dark blue color called " Midnight" If you clicked the link you will be able to see, also as it states next to the eyeshadow it is limited edition! This eyeshadow is AMAZING! the color is great and it also stays on for age just like before I have nothing bad to say about this product!

Doublw wear stay in place flawless wear concealer

I must admit that before I got this concealer I never wore concealer it was just liquid foundation then press powder, but once I got some wow! I mean the magic that this stuff can do is amazing. It blends so well, and it is also true to its name, it stays in place and it leaves a nice flawless finish. As with all my Estee Lauder products I have nothing bad to say about it!

This lipstick is like butter! Seriously wow, I have never used a lipstick like this it is amazing, My lips feel so smooth after using it, the shade that I go is Candy shimmer. When you first see the color it looks kinda dark but it goes on light, which I like.

Lately I have not been wearing a lot of lip gloss I main have been going for the lipsticks. But I really like this one, the color is nice and bright and has a wonderful shine, now the only things that I don't like about this product is the brush it flat on both ends and kinda floppy, or at least it is like that for me, and trying to get some of the lip gloss off so you don't look like you kissed a pink sparkly glossed up doughnut it not that easy, and as you tell probably with that it causes you to have away to much lip gloss on which it not a good look. Now other then those two things I really like this lip gloss and also the color I have is fuschia pink so extra bright!

Sumptuos extreme lash mulitplying mascara

Freaking LOVE this stuff! You have no idea how amazing mascara till you try this. Since wearing this mascara my lashes look great! The brush is really nice and the also not once has the mascara been clumpy for me I am able to get every lash and just looks really nice and completes my look.

lash primer plus

If you are just starting out using makeup and or want to know how to have long lasting mascara or perfect looking mascara, well my dear this is key. Once again one of these products that I have never used and believe me it makes all the difference. I have nothing bad to say about this product and I highly recommend getting it.

Soft clean tender creme cleanser

I don't have dry skin but this is nice for this days when you just need that extra boost for your skin. I must say at first I was really confused on how to use this but once you finger it out it is really nice, all you do it just apply to your face and work it into your skin in circular motions and then wipe off with a tissue. If you have really oilly skin this is something I would recommend staying away from though.

Time zone

This above I can't really say if it is working or not, simply because I am seventeen and don't have wrinkles yet, but you are never to young to start using these cremes and stopping it before it starts. So that is why I use these plus it is a nice and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

advance night repair

Now unlike before I can say this stuff works! You shouldn't put a lot on like the old saying " a little goes a long way" applies to this, if you put on to much it will leave your skin feeling oilly and have a grease look to it so I would not put tons on all at once, but it does work wonders and something that I would highly recommend that you get.


These are my Estee Lauder products :) and I really enjoy them I truly believe that any thing you get from Estee Lauder will be great, because they are one of these high end makeup lines, that you trully pay for what you get! As always I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, please feel free to subscribe, and share with your friends, and leave comments below! thanks everyone :)

Estee Lauder double Matte foundation review

Yay posted on the actual date my blogs should be posted on! That is a first ha ha. Well Between moving, work, and school I have now set aside two dates that will have blog post that is Tuesday and Friday. I was unable to post last week, just super busy and couldn't get too it but here we are now posting a review so enjoy :)

please note that the bottle is not actually this color, it is the same color as the foundation color you buy. 

I have been using this foundation for over a month and I can not say one bad thing about it.  I know a lot of fashion and beauty gurus use Estee Lauder foundation. the packaging is very nice it comes in a blue box. The bottle its self is a nice and I have no problem getting the foundation out.

Once again I must say I am in love with the foundation! the product goes on smooth and doesn't streak. Also something I truly love is that it last up to 8 hours and does an amazing job with keeping everything oil free. Being that for my job I am out and about all day in the sun and heat it still looks great. I only need to powder up once twice at most. This foundation also doesn't leave my face feeling cakey and heavy. It blends really nicely and leaves an amazing look.

Over the weekend because I was moving I used my cover girl foundation ( I will be doing a review on cover girl products) I had to do a lot of touch ups and even though my makeup felt light and I was still having to pack on tons of powder to help not look shiny. Now I know what you are thinking "Hello you were moving and sweating." yes that is true but while wearing the Estee Lauder to work I sweat am out in the sun and it stays in place and I still look good. Over all I give the foundation two thumbs up! I with out a doubt will be getting more.

Soon I will be doing product reviews about more Estee Lauder product along with a makeup haul, cover girl reviews and other makeup product. As always I hope you enjoyed reading! Please leave comments on anything you want to see from fashion to beauty! Of course thank you to everyone that does read my blog it means a lot to me!
