My Little Pony Hair

I love fashion week but I also find it so incredibly overwhelming. Because of that I end up focusing on beauty trends and the select few designers I always stalk. Enter the My Little Pony hair trend. While everyone is talking about how ombre hair has seen better days, because let's be real, you can walk out of your apartment in the morning and pretty much guarantee that you will see at least one person rocking ombre locks,the My Little Pony trend is the less committal, happy rainbow brite cousin. I think I might need to try it.

all my basics

I don't wear makeup that often, so when I do it's usually light...

These are my basics.

Daily Beauty by Queen of Mayhem

I suppose the most basic thing for ANY beauty look is healthy skin.

I have combination (literally, I'm half asian), skin and it's kind of strange. I break out occasionally, and not that badly (most of the time), but when I do I scar. I scar VERY easily, so the best thing for me to do is just keep the acne away all together, especially because it takes my face a long time to clear up.

That's where Philosophy's Purity Made Simple comes in. I wash my face twice a day with a small amount of it (morning and night). It keeps my face in control.

After that, make up is optional, but if I had any foundation to recommend to you it would be Smashbox's HALO. I swear it's making the texture of my skin 100000 times better AND I just started using it. (I also use it as my concealer). Before this, I used Bare Escentual's foundation, but it didn't work very well for me.

I use Bare Escentual's primer, but to be honest, if I wasn't a broke college student I'd use Smashbox's primer. I used it once and it worked wonders.

For an extra touch I use your standard Bare Escentual's blush, but for that va-va-voom I use Dior Show mascara. I love it. Especially in waterproof! Oh, and I almost forgot... I'm in love with eyelash curlers and well a NUDE eyeshadow.

That's it.

Basic, but NOT boring!

I've been inspired by all those wonderful beauty bloggers out there, and so it seems that I've caught the bug.

My camera was being difficult so the review is in 2 parts, but super short! Check it out.





You can get the pallet here. I'm super excited to use it.

It looks like the colours are wonderfulyl coordinated and i can use a single swipe of colour OR layer it for a different effect.

The shadows seem to be well pigmented and silky... Mmm... Indulgence!

(Oh and the set came with 4 small brushes).

CK fresh

That that coveted CK runway model look from Sephora for only $39

There's hot pink lipstick. There's deep blue nail polish. There's silver creme shadow. There's liquid nectarine blush. And then there's you, with summer makeup that's not expensive, not garish, not melting, and not bad for the price.

Universal Plastic

"Cosmetic surgery is now so popular that even young, healthy, attractive women are choosing to be “enhanced.” In a quest for insight into this $13 billion industry, the author—a five-foot-nine, 120-pound 27-year-old—went undercover, asking three plastic surgeons what they’d do to her nose, her breasts, and her, uh, “banana rolls.” The answers were as different as the doctors themselves.

Real Purity

So what could be more alluring than the perfect one-step face wash? Probably nothing other than the most decadent chocolate cake cake when you're PMSing.

This baby has been put to the test.

This summer I traveled from San Diego, CA where it was a nice and constant 87+ degrees out, to Malaysia where a balmy 96 still wasn't considered hot. Then I hit a camping expedition, New York, and back to the ice land known as Pittsburgh, PA. It's stayed true through the triple digits to the negative ones.

A little bit goes a long way, and this face wash even melts off waterproof mascara.

Purity (Made Simple) couldn't be a better name for the product!

Philosophy's Purity Made Simple can be found at Sephora.
