My Summer Wish List 1

Hello lovelies!

Since summer is around the corner, there are a few clothing items that I have recently seen and fell in love with. They are just some trends I saw and wanted to try out for myself. There are also a few makeup products on my wish list as well. Enough of the chit chat, here I go!

1. Woodlore Tie Hanger- You might be wondering, "Why in the world does she want that thing?" If I were you, I would be thinking the same thing, but I actually saw this in seventeen magazine this week and fell in love with it. Now, I will not be using this for ties, but in stead for necklaces. I have tons of long necklaces, and they always get tangled when I put them in a jewelry box. I want to hang all my necklaces from this tie hanger; therefore, they will no longer get tangled and stuck!
2. Colorful Blazer- I desperately want to buy on these puppies. I have a black blazer from H&M that I adore, but I want a bright one to throw on in the summer. Of course I will still wear my black one in the summer, but I think owning one with a pop of color would be really nice. Blazers are very sophisticated, and I love their polished look. If anyone knows where I can get an inexpensive colorful blazer please let me know! I need one ASAP :)

3. Button Up Fashion Shirt- I love the way these breezy shirts look. They can be casual or fancy. You can grab this shirt and wear it with shorts, or you could even put on a pair of leggings and a waist belt to make the look formal. Oh gosh I can't tell you how much I adore these shirt! Can you say comfy cute?

4. The Perfect Summer Dress- I have no summer dresses. It is becoming a big problem. I was never really a dress person, but this past year I have grown to love the femininity of them. They are so girly and fun! I need to pick one up for myself. I would prefer a floral one like the first one below.

5. Hot Tools Waver- I LOVE WAVY HAIR. I do know how to wave my hair without heat (sleeping in braids), but I think the waves with the waver are even more gorgeous. Wavy hair is so in right now, and some people have a difficult time getting the perfect look! One of these wavers would make the waves I want!

6. A Romper- Wow! I think rompers are fabulous. You have to be a little gutsy to wear them because unlike other fashion trends, rompers are unique. They are a little crazy and different, but I love the way they look. I am always looking for new, exciting fashion; and rompers certainly fit the bill.
7. Tinted Lip Conditioner- I have wanted to try this MAC product out for quite some time now. I am obsessed with chapsticks, and this product looks amazing.
That is all that is on my wishlist at the moment!! I might make a YouTube video about this, but I have to think about it. What do you think? Do you want to hear me say a little more about my wishlist on my channel? Let me know below!

Ins and Outs 1

Hey lovely ladies and gents. Today I am going to be doing my first ever "Ins and Outs." Basically, a post like this one is simply listing things I like right now and things I don't. I got this idea of AllthatGlitters21. She also has a blog and I thought her idea was wonderful. I hope she doesn't mind I am doing this too! Let's get right into this...

Ins:

1. Lots of Jewelry- Lately I have been piling on jewelry. I just haven't thought one bracelet was enough. I like wearing big jewelry because I think it can make even the plainest outfit pop. Now don't get me wrong, I am not walking out of the house covered with bulky jewels, but I have been adding a few extra pieces to my outfits lately.

2. Guitars- I love the sweet sound of an acoustic guitar. I happen to have a guitar that I bought at a thrift shop for $35, but I have no idea how to play it. I need to get my butt to lessons so I can play something for ya'll!

3. Lost- I have never been more in love with a tv show. I wish I was exaggerating, but I am not. I am completely obsessed with LOST. (My computer background is a LOST cast photo... I think I need help.) Every Tuesday at 9 I turn on abc and watch it with puppy dog eyes. I am hooked. There is no helping my Lost love. Sadly, the series is ending in only four, short episodes. What am I supposed to do when it's over?

4. Going to bed before 11- Seeing the clock read 11 before I go to sleep is such a comfort to me. I have horrible sleeping habits, and unfortunately 11 is early for me. I love getting a full 8 hours of sleep and that is only possible if I slip into my bed before the hand on the clock hits 11....

5. American Eagle Shorts- I have never been a big American Eagle fan, but ever since they released their summer line, I can't help but buy their adorable shorts. I have two pairs from there and they fit me perfect. (Usually shorts never fit me right.) The best part about the shorts is that they were only $20 a pair. With a twenty dollar price tag, the shorts can't do you wrong!

Outs:

1. School- Anyone else have a countdown to the end of this dreadful school year? I do. I need to have a countdown or I would be falling apart. I need to put on a bathing suit and jump into a refreshing pool; however, that beautiful picture in my mind can't happen until the school year ends... 32 days left. I don't think I can make it.

2. Girl Maintenance- I am soooooo sick of keeping up with being a girl. Why do us ladies have it so hard? I hate painting my nails every 6 days. I can't stand shaving every time I hop into the shower. I despise that time of the month. Men do not compare to women. END OF STORY!

That is all for my first ever "Ins and Outs." I hoped you enjoy this crazy little post! Leave a comment below and tell me what you have been loving or hating this month.

Best Mac Cosmetics Packaging?

Hey everyone!

Today I am going to be writing about pretty, Mac packaging. This subject came into my head when my dad brought me home a Liberty of London lipgloss. He had been on a trip to London and he thought it would be funny to bring me back something from this collection! I LOVE IT. Anyway, the packaging on the lipgloss was the first thing that caught my eye. It is extremely girly and fun, which is what I love about it. With the flowers and the birds, I just feel like I am running through a garden! Hahaha. I have not been shopping at Mac long enough to have an idea of what I think is the prettiest packaging, but I think Liberty of London tops the charts. I also think the Heatherette products were adorable. What collection packaging did you like the best? Leave your opinion in the comments below and describe the collection! Have a great day :)

Xoxo,
Alex

Black Track Fluidline Review


Hey everyone! Today I am going to do a quick review on Mac's Blacktrack Fluidline because I was pleasantly surprised by how well it works. I have used it about 6 times since I bought it and every time I put it on the intensity stays all day. I have never used a gel liner that didn't fade after the first few hours, so I am impressed with how long it stays. Another great thing about this gel is a little goes a long way; therefore, the $15 price tag is worth it in the long run. Also, it glides on very easily, which I look for in a gel. I am still learning how to apply gel liners right and it helps to have a nice product that glides on without too much grab on my lid. Overall the Fluideline is a great product. I am really happy I gave it a shot!
