Halloween Tutorials 2013

I have 2 tutorials this year! One being Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid and a 1920's Great Gatsby inspired look.

I came up with Ariel, well, because she's my favorite princess. I also had the chance to audition to be "friends" with her at Walt Disney Word a few weeks ago.

Then this past weekend my boyfriend and I watched The Great Gatsby and I forgot how much I liked the 1920's. Thus, this look was born! haha.

Monday Poll Vol. 9


Monday Poll again! These seem to be all I'm doing every week.


  1. What makeup brand has the prettiest packaging?
    I really like Benefit. They always have this 1950's vintage feel. 
  2. Do you ever travel for business?
    I don't.
  3. What accessories are you wearing (jewelry, hats, scarves, belts, anything else)?
    A ring my boyfriend gave me, my tiny diamond earrings, and fake pearls that I always wear.
  4. What’s the wackiest piece of clothing you own?
    I really don't know. None of my clothes are wacky to me, but then again...I don't have much style. I always get made fun of when I wear my hot pink skinny sweat pants. People say they are my "crazy 80's pants". 
  5. How often do you do eye looks involving more than one eyeshadow?
    Maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks or when I want to look a little better one random day. 
  6. Is there any kind of nail polish you won’t wear (textured, glitter, matte, other)?
    I usually don't wear nail polish but I guess the sound of textured nail polish is a bit weird.
  7. Who’s your favorite artist (visual, music or other)?
    I don't have a favorite.
  8. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done?
    I can't think of anything at the moment...but I know soon
     I'll be leaving to do a Disney internship for a few months and leaving my boyfriend behind will be very difficult. 
  9. Have you ever done an ombre lip? 
    I think this is the most boring poll I've ever taken. I hardly ever wear lipstick. I have used a little bit of a lip tint but only in the center so it looks like I just ate a strawberry ice pop. Does that count?
  10. On a scale of 1-10, what’s your personal makeup style (1 being no-makeup makeup, 10 being full-on divalicious drag queen)?
    4. My everyday makeup is just tinted moisturizer and brown mascara. I'm too boring.

Influenster Box

I got a nifty little purple box in the mail today and I had no idea why. I followed the instructions and it ended up being one of those free sample boxes that people get...if you review them. oh...the catch, right.



*Ignore the fact that I didn't wear makeup that day.



I can honestly say I won't be using any of this. Hooray for useless stuff! 
Nail art, lip gloss, face wash, airheads, tide wash

Monday Poll Vol. 8

Monday...again?!!? My Sundays are awesome then I have to wake up to Mondays. That's awful. 



  1. What are your favorite TV shows right now?
    I don't watch a  lot of TV. I watch Full House and it's still on TV but I guess a show that's still running is Bones and My Fair Wedding.
  2. What would you do if you won $10,000 today?
    I’d buy my boyfriend a car because I know he really wants one and if I had any left over I'm saving for our wedding.
  3. What’s the first song lyric that comes to mind? 
    I don’t care, I love it. (from Icona Pop)
  4. Do you have any scars? Yes! I have one on my knee from being pushed off a bike and flown into the street. I also have a "freckle" type scar in my chin from being really sun burnt when I was younger, but it has faded a little bit.
  5. What are some makeup or beauty products you buy over and over again?
    Garnier eye roller and Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
  6. What’s your favorite place to people-watch?
    People watch? I'm not that weird.
  7. If you could time travel, what year would you visit (but you don’t have to be there permanently)? 
    According to time travel, it's a lot easier to go back in time than forward. If going back...I'd say no to something back in 2008 and I'd really like to see my future kids if going forward were an option. 
  8. If you could pick any one person in history to have brunch with today, whom would you pick? 
    Jesus...but I don't need Him in person to have brunch with me. If it were someone else, maybe Princess Diana. I always wondered what she was like. 
  9. Is there a makeup/hair styling skill you’d like to master? 
    Winged eyeliner. I barely do it and fake it, but its never exact and it makes me frustrated when I cant get it even.
  10. What movie really scared you? 
    Not a full movie, but the last 10 seconds of the original Carrie made me jump so high.
