Makeup of the Day!

Hey & happy Friday y'all!

I know one thing, I'm so glad it's Friday. I was trying to do this post yesterday but my email where I sent the pictures was acting weird so I couldn't. This is a bit of a different post, one that I've never done before. I decided to do a post on my makeup of the day. There is nothing really special about it, but I did use the NYX blush that I posted about a few days ago, and in that post I said I would follow up with how I liked it after I wore it. I figured I would just turn it into a makeup of the day...well technically yesterday post/review of the blush, so here goes!

This is everything that contributed to my makeup yesterday. This is nothing out of the ordinary for me honestly, the only thing that was new was the NYX blush. I typically wear bronzer instead. This is my usual makeup routine and though it looks like a lot, it isn't and it gives a very natural makeup look which I like. Sometimes I wear lipstick or a different lip color, but this is the pretty standard of what I wear everyday. It takes me no more than 15 minutes if that, and to some that is a long time, but I guess it's just apart of my daily getting ready routine. I don't wear highlighter everyday, but yesterday I was in the mood for it. The products I have here are eyeshadow, concealer, blush, eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss. Nothing special or complex. 

Moving on to the blush, I really liked it! It was a bit brighter than I expected, but still subtle and natural looking. I guess with a name like Mocha, I was expecting a little darker. It lasted all day, it didn't wear off, but it really looked nice, I thought. Anyway, here are my few pictures of my makeup yesterday.

I like makeup that is very natural looking, I don't believe in caking it on. I think that everyone can get a natural but still noticeable look with simple makeup. I hope y'all enjoyed this post and I will do more makeup of the day posts. Until next time!

Current Nails: Gray Suede by Revlon

Hello there & happy Tuesday! 

As you all know I can't seem to keep my nails the same color for a long time, so my nails are already a new color. This color is rather subtle, but I love it. It's called Gray Suede by Revlon. It's a nude color, and we all know I love nude beauty products, so you know I love it. Revlon polish is about $5-6 in drugstores. Sometimes it can even be around $8 depending on where you get it from. Anyway, hope you like the color, let me know what you think in the comments!

I hope you enjoyed the post! If you missed it, check out my last nail post here! Until next time!

New Beauty Grab: NYX Blush: Mocha

Happy Sunday everyone! Well...actually, Monday since it's really early Monday morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend! It was my school's homecoming weekend and needless to say I partied very hard. I had fun. Though some of the homecoming events did not go as planned, I still had fun though I feel it could have been better. I spent today recuperating and such, but still found time for a post! So, I've been on the hunt for the NYX blush in the Mocha shade ever since I saw one of my favorite beauty vloggers with it on. I could not find it for the life of me, but the other day one of my friends and roomies came back from running errands and had it for me! Nice surprise right? She gave it to me under the condition that she can use it sometimes and obviously I had no problems with that. I haven't worn it out yet but I plan to this week, probably not tomorrow but before the week is over. I did try it on and I loved it, but I wanted to wait to show it when I was fully made up. However, check out my pictures of it below! 

The color is really pretty on my cheeks. I typically only wear bronzer but I will definitely be using this. NYX blush can be found for about $6- $7 in Target, other drugstores and beauty supply stores. It is typically more expensive in beauty supply stores. I know this was a quick post, but I have a homecoming recap post coming up very soon! Along with some new nails of course, and a fave fall lip post, so stay tuned! Until next time!

Current Nails: Wine by Love & Beauty by Forever 21

Hey everyone, happy hump day! I hope y'all are having a great day! I am back as promised with a good ole nail post! My favorites to do if you haven't noticed. My nails have been looking so busted because I've been so busy these last couple of weeks that they've been chipped (ick) most of the time! I did my nails before class this morning while I was studying for an exam, multitasking at it's finest, and they came out nice, surprisingly. I did them a color I featured in my Fall Nail Faves post. It's called Wine by Love & Beauty by Forever 21. I am not sure if they make this particular color anymore but I am sure they make something like it. This polish is about two years old now and it still works great! This is one of my favorite nail colors to rock during the fall and winter. I know it looks a lot like We'll Always Have Paris by OPI, but in person you can see the difference, maybe not in pictures. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the post and check out pictures of the color below! 

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed the post! Stay tuned for some very cool posts coming soon! Until next time folks.

Fall Nail Faves!

Happy Thursday everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great start to their week! School is kicking my butt, but I finally have a second to chill, even though that's kind of a lie because I have so much other things I could be doing, but maintaining this blog is indeed a priority, so here I am! I kind of failed this past week with my two posts a week, but I'm trying, bear with me guys! 

I'm back with a fall nail favorites post because I love fall and I love nail polish so of course I had to do this post! So let me stop yapping, and get into it!

I picked 10 colors, mostly all that I don't wear until the fall season, and these are my favorites out of all that I wear. 

Manicurist of Seville by OPI: $9 at drugstores. The perrrrrfect cranberry color!

Purple Pleaser by ELF: This one came in a set which was about $4 at Target if I remember correctly. I love this color and I am currently wearing it! Stay tuned for a post on it very soon!

Love & Beauty by Forever 21: If I knew the color I would gladly share, but it rubbed off and I unfortunately don't remember it. I've had it for years and it is still good! Perfect dark nude color. It was $2.80 at Forever 21.

Not a Gold Bigger by Nicole by OPI: My favorite gold ever! This came in a set with a dark purple color that I got as a gift one year. This brand typically runs about $7 or $8.

Midnight in Moscow by OPI: This is like a deep shimmery purple which is perfect for fall. One of my favorite nail colors to this day.

Galaxy Girl by Orly: Another shimmery purple, although this one is more iridescent. I found this at TJ Maxx last year for about $4, although Orly runs for about $9 or $10. Love this color. 

Suzi Skies in the Pyrenees by OPI: This is a deep, deep gray color, kind of charcoal-y. I love how smoky it is. Great for the season.

Wine by Love & Beauty by Forever 21: I have had this color for years, and have literally worn it for three weeks straight before. Favorite deep purple ever. I am going to be so sad when I run out because I don't think Forever 21 makes this particular color anymore (although they have one like it). 

Black on Black by Sinful Colors: What is fall without a black nail polish? Black is one of my favorite colors to do my nails this time of year. Sinful Colors has great polish and can be found for $2 or $3 a bottle at drugstores.

I hope you all enjoyed the post and enjoyed seeing my favorite nail colors of the season! I will be back very soon with a post, and will not go on a hiatus for that long again! Thank you so much for reading, and stay tuned for more exciting posts! Until next time, everyone!
