Hello lovelies,
Sorry I've been out of commission lately but I'm here to announce that starting next week I'll be posting a new make up blog every Wednesday! I currently haven't thought of a catchy name for it yet , so suggestions are appreciated!
Toodles!

The Joys of Multi- Tasking
If your anything like me your currently going through the stress of preparing for finals, I know that my beauty routine goes out the window on weeks like these. I trade in my lip gloss for a few more minutes of sleep and forgo my nail polish obsession in exchange for an extra 20 minutes of study time. Now that this week is coming to an end and our study time will mostly be confined to the solitudes of our rooms, kitchens or any other make shift study area lets use this time to not only work our way to the ultimate goal of a bright shiny A, but also better skin, better hair and better nails.
Better Skin: Why not grab some plain yogurt from your fridge and give yourself a cheap, at home face mask? Apply for ten minutes, rinse off with warm water, apply your moisturizer afterwards and I promise your skin will feel refreshed and unbelievably soft!
Better Hair: Ladies, put down your flat iron, unplug the blow dryer and step away from the curling iron. If there was ever a week to give your hair a break from its usual styling its finals week! A week without a hot tool and your hair will be thanking you, instead opt for messy buns and braids that will not only be stylish but even give you the added perk of being able to sleep in.
Better Nails. Olive Oil! My obsession with wearing nail polish has also encouraged me to take better care of my nails, especially my cuticles. Rubbing a little olive oil on your cuticles and letting it soak for 5 minutes will not only improve the appearance of your nails but also help make your nails grow!
Good Luck on Final Gals!

Happy Friday!
If your anything like me your constantly on the go! For example today I will be going from school to work to (lucky me) a work related event, with no time to run home and change up my look I had to make sure my go-to make up bag was full of my personal essentials!
1) Blush- The perfect pick me up for the middle of the day when your feeling less than perky! A quick swirl of color and your whole face will instantly wake up!
2) Lip Gloss- If you gals are anything like me then you have dozens of lip glosses, lip sticks, lip stains, lip balms etc. but we all know that there is always one that we favor above the rest! If your on the go today might not be the day to experiment with your latest lip gloss purchase, stick to a trusty favorite to get you through your hectic day.
3) Eye Lash Curler- Curling your eye lashes instantly wakes up your eyes, it takes 30 seconds total and will leave you feeling flirty!
4) Mascara- I'm sure I'm not the only girl who would rather be late for where ever they are going than to skimp on their mascara! Personal tip: Black Mascara will instantly add drama to your eyes, I know some of us feel that it can be too harsh for day time but you'd be surprised! So give it a go!
Last but not least...
5) A mini perfume sample- I wear perfume everyday unfortunately my favorite scents always don't make it till the end of the day, so I like to carry little samples in my make up bag to help get me through those long days.
I hope these tips help get you through your hectic days :)
