Tutorial: Drugstore Makeup
Hey everyone! Today, I posted a drugstore makeup tutorial on my YouTube channel. If you missed anything I used, I will fill you in right now! I hope this helps you. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s925XmJGRoI
1. First, I applied the Dream Mousse Concealer in Light 4-5 with my finger under the eyes. Then I applied the same concealer on all the blemishes with the SS224. Remember to use a swirling motion!
2. Next I used foundation. The foundation I used was the Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation in 150 Classic Ivory. This was $10, and has medium coverage! I used the sponge applicator that came with the foundation, but I would recommend a SS190. I also primed Gabby's lids with this foundation.
3. After foundation, I put on some blush. I used the Maybelline Dream Mousse in Soft Plum 40. I applied it with the SS187 because the stippling brush really swirls the product into the apple's of the cheeks perfectly. The blush was about $8.
4. The last step for the face was to apply powder! I used the Maybelline Mineral Power Powder with the SS150. This powder will just help set your makeup.
5. For the eyes, I used the Revlon Khaki Suede bases. I used the first, tan color in the quad, and applied it evenly to both lids.
6. I used the Maybelline Bronze Glitz Trio for eyeshadow. I really recommend this trio because it has great pigmentation. I used the SS252 to apply the tan, bottom color.
7. Then I took the SS217. and applied the top, bronze color into the crease.
8.Next, I used the Mayeblline Unstoppable eyeliner.
9. Lastly, I used the Covergirl Lastblast Fusion mascara.
10. For lips, I first put on some Chapstick!
11. Then I used the Maybelline lip stick in Pink Quartz; 115.
12. For some shine, I used the Maybelline Shinylicious in Hit or Miss!
Here is the finished look!
If you want to know prices of anything, you can go to http://www.drugstore.com/ and type the product in the search bar! I don't remember the prices of everything :)
Have a nice day! xoxo

Fall Shoe Trends
Hello loves! Since fall is approaching, I decided to do a blog post all about shoes for the season! Fall is my favorite season for fashion because you can pull off so much! All of the colors are deep and chic, so the fashion is insanely gorgeous. There are so many different types of shoes for fall as well! You can rock boots, heels, moccasins, and so much more! In this post, I will show you my favorites. Let's start!
Many of you probably noticed how popular the color purple was last season! Fortunately for all of my purple lovers, we will be seeing a lot more of it this year as well! This really excites me because plum shoes are fantastic! Here are a few examples of fun, plum shoes.
These suede boots are from Naturalizer Hayward. Aren't they cute?
I know most of you aren't UGG fans, but I don't mind them! I think these plum puppies are adorable. The buttons and weaving make them look awesome.
BOOTS. BOOTS. BOOTS. I love them so much. Let's talk about some boot trends that you are going to see on the streets this year. Ankle boots and over the knee boots are going to be very popular for fall! Anything suede or leather is great. I love boots with the motorcycle feel because they are very spunky! Also, boots with some embellishments like zippers are going to be very popular! Believe it or not, designers have been creating thigh boots or over the knee boots for this year. I am not confident enough to walk around in boots like that, but for any of you that are... Good luck!
Since dark reds, navys, and blacks are in style , the heels this season are hotter than ever. This year, classic stilettos are kicking the curb, and funky heels are stepping in. Try something with studs or fringe; both are very in this year. I also love the curved heel style.The slight curve in structure gives the classic heel a twist! Here are some awesome heels.
Let's wrap up this post talking about moccasins. I am a huge fan of this style of shoe because I love to feel comfy!! You can try classic moccasins like the ones in the first picture below or you can show of in ones with embellishments. I think moccasins are very pretty when they have fringe or embellishment because they feel more earthy that way! To me, moccasins are the perfect everyday shoes!
I hope you enjoyed this post all about my favorite things... SHOES!

Running
So, if you don't know, I am by no means a runner! For some reason; however, I woke up today with the sudden urge to go for a run. As I was getting in my runner clothing I noticed I couldn't find my sneakers. When someone can't find their sneakers, you know how unathletic they are :) Anyway, after about 10 minutes of searching Sammy and I hit the road. Since we left late, around 11 am, it was pretty hot and muggy.
I am the type of person that cramps up really easily, which is why I never run. It doesn't matter how slow I jog, after five minutes I automatically get a cramp. I think the cramps are due to my breathing patterns. I sound so serious right now, but I really do think it is because I don't breathe properly when I run! I clearly have to work on that. Sure enough after a few minutes on the road I got a cramp. So, Sammy and I decided to play the jog-walk game. Basically you jog up until a stop sign, and then you walk to the next one. It helps get rid of cramps very well because the walking gives you a chance to breathe.
Playing the jog-walk game was not bad until I started itching. Since it was so muggy, my legs started to itch! I don't know if it was a bug bite or just the weather, but oh my goodness I was scratching. Trying to jog and scratch at the same time is really difficult. So, after 2 circles around my neighborhood Sam and I went home.
For me, it was a pretty successful endeavor. My legs feel a bit like jello, which I think is a good thing :) I hope this post didn't bore you too much! Are any of you bad runners as well? Tell me in the comments.
