Confession Of A Make-Up Junkie . . .

Hey everyone!

     As some of you may know I have recently been compelled to share my favourite things with you all. I have found so many new discoveries and will not stop until I share each and everyone of them with you all. Today, I wanted to share with you all my favourite make up products, the ones that I cannot live without, my essentials. So I hope you all enjoy and maybe you can discover them for yourself.


L'oreal Paris Color Infallible in Hourglass Beige.

This is an amazing product! It applies very easily and you do not need a lot for it to take effect. The color is a shimmery gold/silver, catching the light so perfectly. It is harder to describe it and do it the justice it deserves so I encourage you all to check it out at your local drug store and maybe give it a purchase !


Nars Albatross

This is a product that I recently discovered and I love it! It is a highlighting blush brought to you by nars. Opposed to a white or silver colored highlighter, this highlighter has a gold dew to it. It gives such an amazing look. A look that can be demonstrated through this picture :

Amazing right!

EOS Lip Balm

EOS is an organic lip balm that works wonders on chapped lips. Since using this balm it is extremely rare that my lips become chapped. Not only does it work but it comes in various yummy flavors and I love the unique look to this product.

Baby Lips lip balm

Baby Lips

This is a great product that creates various different shades and at the same time moisturises your lips. The color is long lasting and provides a plump, full look to your lips.


Annebelle Lip Liner in Natural Rose

This product creates a natural darker tint to your lips. It is long lasting and provides a great matte finish. It surpasses my expectation enormously! This is a simple drug store product and I would not trade it for anything else. It is currently my favourite item in my make up bag !

 
Finally, the combination of Macs Pro Longwear and their Mineralize Skinfinish is great. This is the perfect combination and one I have been in search of for a very long time. The finished look is always very natural looking and assists in complete coverage. I love my Mac products and these are two of my very favourites.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things . . .

Hey All,

As you all know I am a broke college student, (Sad Face). And therefore, any purchase I make has to be one that I am really excited about. Lately,there have been a lot of things that have excited me, which is a good thing because I can share them all with you but my bank account isn't too happy with me!! I am the type of person that when I find something awesome I have to share it with everyone, and I mean everyone. So, why not share it all with you! Be prepared for me to shove these items down your throat because I really like them! So check it out!

Books Edition .

Series

The Hunger Games. You probably could have predicted this; everyone is obsessing about these books. My sister Ali read these books awhile back and oftened raved about them, trying to convience me to read them. Usually I am the one telling my sister about amazing books so for the roles to be reversed... It was damaging to our relationship. Secretly I have always wanted to read them but didn't want to give her the satisfaction.Eventually, I caved. Going behind her back to take each book when I didn't think she would notice; long story short, she caught me and I havent been able to shut up about them since. After they released the trailers for the book, I am even more out of control. I am not the kind of person to read a book just because they are releasing a movie for it and I really don't like when people see a movie and suddenly think they "read" the book because they saw the movie... I am talking about you Twilighters. I loved Edward Cullen before R-Patz ! So don't just see the movie people. Or see the movie and then read the book. Read the book first because I promise you will not be disappointed.


Book

After being inspired by the Hunger Games, I have been really into sci-fi books. But, I am a girl and from time to time I want a sappy, heart warming, easy read. Nicohlas Sparks. He is my "sappy novel" cocaine. I read his books knowing of the emotion rollercoaster I am about to encounter. It's vicious! Unfortunately, I just can't seem to quit them. Awhile back I read "The Lucky One" and immediately feel in love with it. It is by far my favorite Sparks book! (Yes, it is better then The Notebook! I said it.) And now that they are turning it into a movie and none other then Zac Efron is playing the lead male character. I have read it another two times since I heard this news, just to picture Zac (the object of many of my fantasy's) as Logan. Just think, Zac Efron, marine, love story, and dogs. A few of my personal favorites. How could one resist!


I hope you all enjoyed reading about my favorite books at the moment ! I am thinking about posting a new favorite thing every Sunday! So keep watch!


And for those who have not seen this trailer yet. Enjoy!

Lets Make Him Famous !

Hey everyone!

As you all know I use this blog as an outlet to communicate with you all on what I like, and my personal experiences. Today, I have decided to use this blog not for my own selfish reasons, but to encourage you all to be selfless. Please, I urge you all to take 27 minutes out of your busy days to watch the video I am going to post below. In high school I, along with 5 other girls spent endless hours creating and maintaining a Human Rights group. A group to encourage our fellow classmates to make the changes they want to see in the world. We ran many successful campaigns but our favourite and most successful was when we organized a fundraiser for the children effected by the genocide in Darfur. Being a young adult I find that these causes tend to effect me the most. I see children the same age or younger then me being forced into things that in North America seem unimaginable. Things like being given a gun at the age of ten to kill our own parents, being forced into sex slavery and participating in endless killing because we simply don't have a choice. If these disgraceful things were to take place in North America what would be done? Nothing; because the reality of it all is that it wouldn't happen.  No one person can control when and where they are born; we have no control over what conditions we are born into and for many of you reading this post right now, you are lucky. This campaign isn't asking you for your money, it isn't asking you to rally or fight, and it isn't asking you to try to solve the worlds issues. Its asking one simple thing of us all; make Kony famous! Joseph Kony is the leader of LRA, a group that has been abducting children and forcing them into his army for 20 years. All you have to do is watch this video and learn because the sad truth of the matter is... We don't know who Kony is! Watch the video and share it with as many people as you know or even as little as a single individual. Pass this message along just as I am right now! Let's make Kony famous! Learn more below!
