Believe it or not....

I HATE getting ready in the morning. I am not a morning person what so ever, i'm cranky, and you just do not want to be around me right when i wake up. 

So Since i hate getting up in the morning, you can only imagine how i feel about putting on make up. This past summer i went 2 whole months without wearing make up. I wasn't working and i was going to the gym everyday i just didn't need to put on make up. (until I bought elf make up). Now I work in the morning and i have school in the evening, it's best for me right now to wear make up (no one wants to see me out in public without some make up on). I have realized that fake eye lashes have saved my life!!!!!!! I wake up do my morning routine. Tinted moisturizer, I line my upper water line, place on fake eyelashes and I look ready for the day. Yes in the beginning knowing how to put on eyelashes was a little frustrating but when you find a nice pair of lashes and you get GOOD eyelash glue you wont have a problem what so ever. I use DUO darktone eyelash glue and cause it dries darker it actually looks like i lined my eye on top. Trust me when i say splurge and buy good eyelash glue. The first one i bought came with the eyelashes i got from ELF and it was impossible to work with. The first time i wore them out I  watched a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2, once i started to cry my eyelash were half way down my face just like the rest of my make up. (Yes i cried, It's not a big deal). I tried the Revlon lash glue one day, my mom brought it back for me from her vacation (it was on sale). Since It dries clear i thought to myself  "oh i can have a more natural look". Half way through the day my oily eye lids grabbed hold of that glue and spread it all over. My eyelids were glued! It really made blinking impossible. BAH! Never again! I currently wear lashes i found at Forever 21 and i LOVE them! They were only a $3.80 and they look so natural.

Over all, My everyday look cost me under $20 and only takes me 10minutes!

Crazyyyyyy

Go Elf yourself!...

Ladies (and gentlemen)...I want to share an awesome make line that i discovered through some googling and reading reviews. It's called www.eyeslipsface.com (elf) It has basic line where everything is only a dollar! A DOLLAR! I know right crazy. How could make that cost a dollar be great. They also have a studio line where everything is around 3dollars. I purchased a bunch of items from both the 1$ line and the studio line. I have used everything for about a month ( i figured a month is a good time before i can express how i feel about all the products). Before i start I live in Canada and shipping took about 3 weeks, the only thing i didn't like was they give out so many promo codes for free shipping, because i live in Canada I still had to pay shipping. 

I bought 2 cream eye lines, an all over cover stick, pressed powder, custom face blush, facial whip, 4 make up brushes, 2 pressed blushes, eyelid primer, concealer stick, a matte lipstick, tinted lip balm, eye brow pencil, tinted moisturizer and false eyelashes. Everything all together including shipping cost under $50. Out of all the products i purchased the tinted moisturizer (from the studio line) the tinted lip balm and the eye lid primer are my favorite! These 3 products have made me realize that i like light-medium coverage, sheer color on my lips and i have oily eyelids and an eyelid primer lets my eye liner and eye shadow last all day. Because all the make up i purchased was so cheap i was able to experiment and see what i liked without having to spend a fortune, i have invested more money into a tinted moisturizer from mac along with 2 more tinted lip balms. The eyelid primer from elf is still sufficient since my daily make up routine is only eyeliner mascara and false eyelashes.  

I'm not a beauty expert and this isnt a professional opinion. I'm just a girl that is slowly turning into a girlie girl because i am now finding out how fun and easy make up can actually be. When you find what works for you, you'll see that you morning routine can take up to 5 minutes...TOPS! Elf is a perfect line for anyone who is just starting out, aspiring make up artist, or to see if make up is something you do wanna put into your daily routine. So thankful that i found this line, it has made wearing make up so easy!

What to blog about....

Last night i lost a lot of sleep, tossing and turning trying to figure out why i created this and what was i going to say. I don't really care if people some how find this and read it. I don't care if i'm interesting or not. So i figured maybe this could be used as a resource. I don't know how many times I've "googled" something and it took me to someones blog with some useful personal information. So why a blog, simple, i could never be a youtuber. Sitting in front of a camera informing people about the things i was interested in. Products that are good and bad, my opinion on the world today. I follow a handful of youtubers some about beauty, some about music, comedy. Blogging is just the right fit. For now, we'll see if i stick with it.
