What's in my Makeup Bag? :)

Hey everyone! :) So this is going to be what's in my makeup bag. I've done a what's in my purse post,so you should go check that out! :) I actually use a lot of makeup bags,this is just the one I've been using the most lately.


So this is the best picture I could get of it. :( It's not a good picture at all,and it doesn't do it justice.  It kinda looks like there's a yellowish-brownish tint in some places,but the entire bag is silver. This bag is pretty big and holds a lot. This bag is by Clinique,but I'm pretty sure you can't buy it anywhere besides Ebay. So I bring this when I go to friend's houses,but I also just use it to store makeup. So let's see what's inside! :) Oh! One more thing,I LOVE that this bag has a handle! Most makeup bags I have don't! So anyway,here's what's in my makeup bag!

-Coastal Scents Kabuki Brush
-Coastal Scents Angled Eyeliner Brush
-Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Deviant
-Covergirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner(the name has rubbed off,but it's black)
-Covergirl Smokey Shadown Blast in Purple Plume
-Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara
-Revlon Lipstick in Luminous Pink
-MAC Lipglass in Pink Poodle
-Raspberry Lip Cream
-Chapstick
-Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Nutmeg
-Covergirl LashBlast Volume Mascara
-Covergirl Invisible Concealer
-Clinique Quickdraw Eyeliner in  Dark Chocolate
-Butterfly Flowers mini perfume by B&BW
-Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Treatment Gel
-Vanilla perfume
-Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder
-ELF Golden Bronzer
-Peppermint Mini Handgel by B&BW
-Black Gel Liner from Forever21
-MAC Eyeshadow in Swimming
-Clinique Almost Bronzer in Light/Medium

So that's everything in my makeup bag! :) This bag actually has two pockets,but I just told you everything together. Again,this is a Clinique bag,but they aren't selling it anymore and the only place I've seen it is Ebay.

EOS Lipbalm:Love It or Leave it?

Hi everyone! :) So today's post is going to be a review! :) I feel like I haven't done one in a while. Anyway,this review is on EOS Lipbalms.

So I got this a while ago,probably back in the Summer. I have Lemon Drop. I do have to admit,I think these are a little expensive for a lipbalm.  These are one of the best lipblams I own. The only thing I have that's better than it is Soft Lips. And,of course,the packaging is the cutest thing ever. I know,I know,you aren't supposed to buy a product just for it's packaging,but I needed a lipbalm anyway,and all my friends raved about these.

Lemon Drop tastes and smells AMAZING. It's also really smooth on your lips. I really,really like them. I bought mine at Walmart. I think it was around $4.

All in all,these lipbalms are pretty great. They're not the most moisturizing thing ever,but they are super smooth. Again,I have the Lemon one,but I've smelled all of them,and I think Lemon Drop smells the best.

I use this non-stop. I have SUPER dry lips,so it's probably much more moisturizing to me than other people. This makes my lips super soft. And the smell is sooooo good,I could just eat it!

Highly recommend! :)

Pretty Little Liars:Who is A? (Tag!!)

Hey! :) So Pretty Little Liars is my second favorite show ever! And we all know the big question:WHO IS A?! So just two more episodes and A's identity will be announced! I can't be more excited! :)

So what this post is about is I'm going to go through all the characters and tell you who I think A could be. :)
Disclaimer-This is 100% my opinion. I don't know anything for a fact.  I've only read the first two books because I want to find out who A is in the show before I find out in the books. But I know for a fact that the A in the books is NOT the same A in the TV show! :)

Also I just wanted to point out that the show has announced that A is someone who has been in the show since Season 1,so it's not going to be some random new person. :)

Now,even before I really started watching and getting into the show,I've ALWAYS thought A was Allison.  I know,I know,if A happens to be Allison,that'll be really obvious and predictable,so I'm kinda doubting that it's her.

Okay,so moving on to characters! :)

Spencer,Aria,Hanna,and Emily-I honestly think there's no possible way it could be any of the four girls.

The Parents-It could be. I really couldn't see any of them being A,except maybe Spencer's dad. Maybe Aria's dad?

Jenna-This is who they want you to believe is A,in my opinion. Waaayyy too obvious.

Jason-Okay,so since he's Ali's brother and all,I could see him being Ali's killer. But I honestly couldn't see him being A.

Garret-This would be the obvious choice for A,which is why I don't think it's him.

Melissa- She's starting to seem a little obvious,too.

Ian- Is he really dead? Hmm.....

Toby-Everybody thought he was Ali's killer. I think there's a chance that he could be A,but that's just a maybe. I really hope he isn't ,though.

Mia-I don't think it's her at all. I really don't even think she's a very important character. I do think she might be getting texts from A,though.

Mona-Mona could totally be A. It's just that I personally think that out of the four girls,A has bullied Hanna the most. And Mona is Hanna's friend. I think Mona is despicable,but I don't think she would do that to practically her only friend.

Caleb-I really don't see how it could possibly be Caleb. At least,I really hope he isn't. Caleb might be my favorite character in the show.

Ezra-So apparently a lot of people this Ezra is A. Ezra defiantly isn't the obvious choice. I honestly don't think Ezra would do half the things A has done.

Wren-He could very well be A. If he is A,I think that will be really disappointing for most people,including me.

Lucas-A couple episodes back I was really starting to think Lucas was A,now I'm not so sure. He hasn't even been in the last few episodes.

Noel-I think Noel might have something to do with Ali's murder,but probably not with A.

Mike-This would be,like,the biggest surprise ever.

Holden-I think it's kinda odd that they all of a sudden just added a new character. I know they probably did it so Aria could have an alibi,but it makes me think that Holden has something to do with A.

So that's it! :) Oh,and also,I don't really think A is a group of people. And I know there's more characters(Meredith,Jackie,Kate,Sean,Derren,Alex,Ben,Paige,Samara,Anne,and Logan) and I'm suspicious of pretty much all of them,but that's really all I have to say about them.

Who do you think A is? :) I will defiantly do a post about my reaction when A is announced!

How to Cover Up Acne :)

So today I'm going to be doing a post that is going to show you how to cover up blemishes. :) I've actually have no active breakouts right now,and my skin has been clear for about a month.  So let's get started! :)

So the first thing I do is take That Gal face primer by Benefit. I got this for Christmas,and I LOVE it! :) It's supposed to be brightening,so it does has a pink tint to it. Put this all over your face. I just dab it on with my fingers. That's what works for me. :) This product also has a slight smell,which I think smells amazing. All in all,this is a really good product. I haven't really seen any brightening,but it does make my foundation stay on for a long time.

The next thing I'm going to do is take my Clinique Even Better Foundation. I put this on the back of my hand to warm it up,but that's optional. What I really like about this foundation is that I can also use it as a concealer. It's not labeled as one,but I find it covers up my under eye circles really well.   This is defiantly a full coverage foundation to me.

Then I take the Sonia Kashuk Synthetic Flat Top Multipurpose brush. (You can just use a regular foundation brush,but I prefer this) Use this to apply the foundation on your face.  Blend it in really well. Sometimes I find the foundation can be a little cakey,but it really does cover up blemishes. 

Then just dot the foundation around the blemish(I don't put it on the actual blemish because I find that makes it cakey) and blend it in with a concealer brush. (I use a Coastal Scents one) 

This doesn't make your blemishes look completely invisible,but it does help a lot. :) 

Then I just take a setting powder. This is Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder. Apply this all over your face. The brush I use is a kabuki from Coastal Scents. It's not that soft,but it does work really well. I hit pan on this product a long time ago,and I've been using it almost everyday. It has hardly any coverage,but if makes your face really matte. (If you don't have a kabuki brush,you can just use a big powder brush) Lightly dust this all over your face. I find that this makes my foundation stay on all day.(I'm in track,and even when I run,my makeup doesn't sweat off when I wear this) 

Now we're done! :) I like this routine,and I find that it helps a lot. Hope this helped! :)

How I Do My Hair + Hairstyles! :)

Hi! :) So this is going to be a post all about my hair! I'll have some hairstyles at the end.

So my hair is pretty much all the same length and I've never dyed it. I do have natural highlights,though. My hair isn't that dark,it's kinda like a caramel color. So you could say it's either a really,really dark blonde,or a really,really light brown. My highlights are just kinda a golden color. I don't have bangs,but the front sides of my hair are a little bit shorter than the rest of my hair,kinda like face framers. I've let my hair grow out for a while,so it's about mid-back. I also have two feathers in my hair. One orange and one blue,and they're very thin. My hair is naturally wavy. :)

As of products,I really don't use anything fancy.  Even my shampoo and conditioner aren't high end. Together they cost about $15. They're by Suave and I have the huge bottles. I really recommend them.

Moving on to tools. My straightener is by Remington,and so is my curling wand.  The curling wand is pink! :) I don't really put a whole lot of heat on my hair,except for straighten it. I only curl it maybe once every two weeks.


Time for hairstyles! :)
















The first hairstyle is a side braid :)

1. Part your hair off-center. Take a section of hair from whichever side has more hair. Split this section into three.
2.French braid this section.
3.Add a piece of hair from the top,instead of the bottom. Continue adding pieces from the top.
4.Do this until you have added about 6 sections,then stop. Braid normally and tie off with an elastic. :)










The next hairstyle is a messy ponytail.

1.Tease your hair if you don't already have added volume.
2.Lightly pull your hair up into a high ponytail.
3.Secure very messily with an elastic.
4.Tease your ends if necessary.















The next hairstyle is a messy bun.
1.Put your hair in a high ponytail.
2.Pull down some wisps of hair to add to the messiness.
3.Tease the ponytail.
4.Wrap the ponytail around itself staring from one way and then once you've wrapped about half of your hair,wrap the other half the other way.
5.Secure with bobby pins.














The last hairstyle is a half up half down. :)

1.Curl your hair. If you have natural wavy or curly hair,you can skip this part.
2.Tease your crown.
3.Pull back the front part of your hair.
4.Secure with an elastic.

Hope this helped! :)
