Estee Lauder Eye Shadow Bronzy Brown Palette

This post as the title suggests is going to be the first out of three reviews to overall judge the quality and wear ability of Estee Lauder Eye Shadows. Overall these colors are gorgeous. I've always been fond of browns but goldish browns and this is exactly what this mini quad offers. The colors range from coppery gold to brown, to a goldish brown, to a very pale yellow gold. All Shimmery. I think my favorite part of these shadows are that the fall out is very minimal. This is exactly what i look for when i choose shimmery shadows. come on let's face it [no pun intended] a face full of glitter ain't cute doll. So if you dare go try this out for yourself I think you'd be very pleased....also these shadows don't come off easily...especially if you are not using makeup remover...or a shadow base :) <3 Nora

Forever Finds

Someone needs to fix her eyebrow...;) 

Hi everyone!!
So today was a lazy sunday minus the fact that I did a bit of shopping at the mall :) :P haha So although Forever 21 might not be the most original place i found some pretty hot items. I bought three new pairs of earrings. I have fallen in love with big, chunky, just large earrings. I am absolutely in love with floral patterns so I bought two different patterns of flowers of the same type of earring if that makes sense if not you can just see what i mean below :P I also found a really nice greyish/bluish sweater that I got in a large so I can wear it over leggings and tights :)

Want to get rid of acne?

So I've been dealing lately with a broken out face. Since I already know that I suffer from a mild case of acne this home remedy worked for me. Now you have to keep in mind that we all have different types of skin. My skin WILL react differently to different products than yours so be cautious when trying/experimenting on your skin.
Materials:
 -1 CLEAN container
-Toothpaste
-3 Asprin tablets
-1/2 a fresh lemon
-Water

How To:
1. Find an empty container make sure it is clean please, anything left over in the container could possibly cause a chemical reaction with the products we are about to mix together.
2. Add a couple drops of warm water into the container
3. Pour in the Asprin tablets and allow them to dissolve in the water If there is more asprin than water add a couple more drops. The key is not to have a completely watery solution.
4.  Add a few drops of fresh lemon into the mix, you want to keep everything even so try to keep everything uniform if you add 2 drops of water add 2 drops of lemon
5. Add half a teaspoon of white toothpaste
6. Mix the products together
7. Only apply on the spots on your face.
:) I've been doing this for the past 5 days and my face/scars have disappeared :)

Oh My...

So 'tis the season to dig up all of those dark, unfaded, outfits from the bottom of the bottomless drawer of your dresser buried way beneath all of those summer do's and don'ts. Fall/Autumn whatever you may call it is here, and has been here for awhile so all of you people who are still wearing clothes made for warm weather its time to put them away. Anyways this post isn't directed towards fashion but towards your makeup focusing on the lips. Dark, bold, and pigmented lips are great for making a statement, easy to pull off, and quite the attention grabber. But for all of you who are afraid of trying this hawt trend here are some tips to boost your confidence.

Oh.My.God Look at her LIPS

1. When you find the right color combo for your face you'll fall in love with it, and it'll be easier for you to wear it.
2. If you are not used to wearing pigmented lipstick/lip gloss go out and buy a nude/pink lipstick so you can get comfortable with the idea of wearing lipstick and the application process.
3. Wear it at home behind closed doors and I do urge you to stare at yourself in the mirror and make a habit of complimenting yourself, this will not only allow you to wear bright lipstick in public but will also make you feel better about yourself.
4. Make your friends do it with you, sometimes its fun to match your makeup or wear similar colors on your face and that way when you're in public people will judge you as a whole if that's what you're afraid of.

Oooh La La 

 In the end its up to you, if you like it stick with it if you don't well that's too bad, but it doesn't hurt to try now does it...well unless you buy a lipstick/gloss that's infused with 231029302849238904grams of lip plumper..now that may hurt :)

Taylor Momsen Inspired Look

This is my interpretation on Taylor's look makeup wise, she's bold and does what she wants!
Personally I would not wear this in public but it's fun to recreate, all you need is a load of  black eyeliner, sparkley black eyeshadow, and plum eyeshadow [on the lid].
