Packing Preppy! Day 4!

Today was a good day. Light work day with some shopping squeezed in. I was packing so i decided to wear clothes that I knew I wouldn't be packing, mostly because they are 3 sizes to big for me now. Somedays I just love being preppy, so I just wanted to wear a casual and comfortable outfit for errands. I haven't tucked in my shirt in like 10 years! I like how it looks but I think it would look better with a shirt that was my correct size, same being for the shorts. I felt like I looked heavier than I actually am. Oh well.

I packed so many things for one weekend. This ALWAYS happens! I never know what to wear & yes I have an entire bag dedicated to shoes! I still have to fill the vs bag with make-up. I packed so light this trip with the make-up, mostly cause I've been using a lot of drug store stuff. I need to step up my MAC game. Can't wait for a glorious weekend in BLO! :)

Embrace the Native!!!


Today I felt very connected to the earth. I honestly just wanted to lay in the grass and breathe in the beauty and life around me. Sadly I couldn't. I had work till four in a cramped office. So I embraced my feeling with my outfit. I grew up with a father who was very into nature, and very interested in the Native American culture. I grew up having dream catchers and feeling that mother nature was the biggest God of them all. So I am so happy that Tribal and Native American fashion is coming back in, on a political level and on a fashion level. I went casual with my outfit today, but here are some of the trends of Native American & Tribal pictures that inspire me. Now if only I could get my hands on one of these headdresses!

Challenge day 2 : Anger!!!

Today Sucked!
I just absolutely hate people. I will be the first to admit I'm a bitch, hands down I'm a bitch. I speak my mind & I will always call you out on you're bullshit. I value honesty I want others to be honest with me and I always try to be honest with others. I just think life & relationship are bette based on honesty and respect. I am finding that its hard to ask for that in a friend I have to stop assuming people value me and my friendship. I have to stop assuming my friends always have my back. I refuse to be hurt again & I don't take that shit lightly. so heres to anger!

I want to be a Princess!

Okay so I am moving in all of 4 months! woohoo I have mixed emotions, but overall I need to move on to bigger and better things then Albany. Anyways I'm completely OBSESSED with the idea of decorating my own place...and since my roommate is majoring in interior design its a little slice of heaven! Anyways for room Ideas this is what has been inspiring me! Now I feel like I can get away having a few modern pieces in my room, but I just love the look and comfyness of shabby chic. The top picture is the duvet cover I bought at target, from the shabby chic collection they designed for target. I'm so excited to get accent pieces to go with the color scheme and theme. I just want my room to be relaxing and colorful. My current room is mostly white with pops of hot pink. I just want something more adult that I can have for a long time & being on a college student budget its easier to find less expensive antique unique pieces for my room, than brand new things for my room.

Foundation






Ah Foundation! Something I can't live with out. These items are what I put on my face daily! Let me first explain my history with foundations, I have been on again off again with liquid but for the past year or so I have been hooked. I have tried mineral powders, there great an all, but I just really seem to like the way liquid foundation sinks into my skin and lasts all day. Some of my favorite high end liquid foundations are Chanel pro lumiere and Make up forevers HD foundation.
BUT!
My view on liquid foundations is this a foundation is only as good as its setting powder! SO if you want to save money I would buy a fair quality foundation at a lesser price and a good setting powder.
Revlon Photo Ready is my favorite drugstore foundation. I refuse to buy anything else (at the drugstore). I ran out and was forced to use maybellines mousse foundation (which I hate because it turns my skin yellow and doesn't last) and I basically cried and had to run to the drugstore to get my Revlon. Anyways I think this foundation is very very VERY comparable to Make up forevers HD because of the coverage and lasting power. Now the Chanel is my favorite, but its extremely pricy, so I only get it if I have the money to splurge on it and the Chanel has more of a matte finish than the Revlon.

Likes:

-Shades and ranges of color
- Consistancy
- Coverage (medium coverage, build-able)
- Flawless applications (no streaks)
- Dewy finish
- lasting power- stays all day when using a setting powder.

Dislikes:

- Sparkles, If you are in direct sunlight with no powder over it you will have an Edward Cullen sheen to you!

Overall:

I would recommend this foundation to anyone!


Mac MSF Natural HOLY GRIAL PRODUCT

This powder is my life I have gone through 10 or more of these, it is the best powder I have ever used. It can also double as a foundation. I use it over every foundation to insure that it will stay on all day and look flawless. It's on the higher end side at $28, but you can buy a cheaper foundation and still look as flawless as if you had an expensive one. Overall I will most likely be buying this product for as long as they make it.

Make Up Forever HD Powder

I like this also all three of these products together make for a flawless face that lasts! ( I go to the gym and my make-up doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't helps the MAC powder stay in place so there is no transfer of powder from your face to clothes. This product is pricy but it last forever so I think its worth it.
