Ulta Haul -- Glitter Cream Swatches

Hey guys! I just uploaded a video about my Ulta haul that I went on with my momma. We had so much fun and got so much good stuff for only $40!! The things I am most excited about are my NYX Glitter Cream Palettes. These are so much fun--glitter can sometimes be intimidating but these are so awesome, I absolutley love them. I think glitter goes really well with summa' time so I'm excited to have these on hand for those fun nights out. Here are some swatches that I hope will convince you to buy these palettes for $5.99 each (I plan on getting all of them, haha!):

First up, the SWEET CHOCOLATE BROWNS palette:

From left to right we have:

a lighter mahogany brown color
a perfect gold color
a light pink color
a burgundy / dark brown color
a peachy-tan color

Again, the colors from left to right are the same as above but these are what they look like on the skin. They're pretty darn thick and have awesome staying power. I LOVE the pink and gold. And the peach color. I just love this whole damn palette, haha!





Second, we have the OCEAN BREEZE palette (my absolute favorite):

From left to right:


a light baby blue color
a brighter blue color
a periwinkle color with rainbow glitter color
a royal blue color
a gorgeous turquoise color

Same as above, here are the colors from bottom to top (sorry, haha). Love this palette--LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!











Expect tutorials for all three of the glitter cream palettes (I also have the bronze goddess one) for summer time. I hope you enjoyed this quick post and I'll talk to you guys soon!

Sorry I suck at this!

HAPPY EASTER!

I figured it's been forever since I've blogged so I thought I'd do a quick update. My YouTube channel is officially up and running which I think is a reason I've been neglecting this blog. I've gotten a ton of videos up on there so really this has kind of taken a backseat! But I've got a lot of videos up so everyone should check it out!

Also, I'm officially going to London! I leave on June 11th and get back June 31st. I am beyond excited and I have to keep a blog for the trip so expect a TON of posts. I am a little sad I have to give up my beloved YouTube but I'm going to try my best to post videos AND blog while I'm there.

As for everything else, school is school--stressful. I think teachers get together to plot against students and make everything due on the same week. Luckily there is only like, 2 weeks left? 3 weeks left? Something like that. And then LONDON!

Oh and I'm also signed up for Warrior Dash! Haha this is a crazy obstacle course and I know I'm going to hate my life the next day but I'm so excited.

I'm glad school is ending soon and hopefully when that happens I'll be able to pay more attention to this thing (except I don't even know who follows this, haha!) but we'll see how everything goes.

My YouTube channel..

So I finally did it, I started my own YouTube channel (check it here). I have to admit, it has been a little nerve racking! I have always loved everything fashion--clothes, make-up, hair, everything. So using my teaching skills combined with that love, I finally started my own YouTube channel. Granted, I haven't really gotten a lot of hits yet--but I'm not discouraged!! I love it so far and just put up my first tutorial. I hope to start doing more videos, quicker. I just love doing makeup so I don't really care if I'm bad at it--I think it's fun. I'm sure other videos will be put up like Outfit of the Day's, hair tutorials, and things like that but for now I'm taking it slow. I've found a couple other new beauty how-to people who have been really supportive, so that helps. But if anyone who reads this (which is probably limited to Katie, haha) feel like giving me some love, post my channel on your blog! Or just simply go look at it, that's really all I want.

That's all for now. Expect some interesting stories from this weekend--we're going out for my 22nd birthday this Friday and my actualy birthday is Sunday.

Love you all!

Two Blonde, An Asian, and a Black girl walk into a Wale concert...

 This weekend I had the privilege to visit my best fraaaan, Elena, at her school Salisbury University. Originally, I just went to see me some Wale (D.C. Chillin') but ended up staying just so I could get a real feel for the life at Salisbury.

First off, Wale. Really man, if you're going to wait 3 flippin' hours to come on stage, we will not be friends. But then if you decide to only play 3 songs? We will be enemies.

Oh wait. You did that. YEAH.

Thiiiiiis bitch decided to come on stage high out of his mind, on his phone, and with a posse of 16 people. RIDICULOUS. If I had paid for my ticket, I would have demanded a refund. At that point man, just give up. Good thing you haven't gotten a dime of my money because you pretty much suck.

Other than that, my weekend was awesome. I just needed to rant about this Wale character. RUDE..

(plus, I got called out by ELENA for not updating this thing so really, this is for her..LOVE YOU BOO!)

Urban Decay Naked Palette: Review

Hey everyone! So for a contest on YouTube I had to review the amazing Urban Decay make-up palette. For all you make-up enthusiasts out there, this palette is something you need to buy. I know it's sold out in a lot of places but try and find it because it's worth the $48. And for those just getting started with make-up, it's a palette of all neutral colors which is something new make-up doers should definitely start out with. Check out my review!

Challenge #8: Picture that Makes you Laugh

There are no words.

New Years Eve 2010/2011. 

Challenge Day..who the hell knows

These challenges are weird. I definitely should have read through the challenges because some of them are dumb. Picture of my night? Picture of my most treasured item? No and no. I also gave up on writing the letters because some were too emotional for me to write. So, new path: only doing the challenges I want to do. I skipped yesterday and I'm skipping today.

Shit, I DO WHAT I WANT!
