Polka- Dotted Nails!

So I'm not posting on a 'scheduled day' but I do want to get up a post this week, since I haven't been able to blog in a while. 

I know you hear this a lot...but senior year is truly unexpectedly busy. 
There just so.much.work. But good news for me is that I'm done applying to universities so now I'm working on scholarships!

But back to blogging lol, I also finally found the time to paint my nails. I literally have not painted them for a month and a half now; which is quite crazy. 

I decided to do something simple but elegant. Polka-Dots! 
Polka dots are something that will never go out of style and my nails actually remind me of PINK, just opposite color pattern haha. 



 via

I am in love with this pink, it's Flamingo by Color Club. I usually use two coats to get it opaque and will only do a third coat to the nails that need it. The white is Snow white by Sinful Colors and I made the dots using a dotting tool!
*Side-Bar!*
How is everyone? I honestly want to create more of a personal friendship with other bloggers! We are are super cool ( we have to be (;) and I would love to connect with you all. So a topic I think we should talk about is...what's up with this crazy weather?! lol I live in Florida and lets be honest, us Floridians don't have clothes for this! I am running on my last sweatshirt tomorrow, sigh I was wearing flip flops just last week and now the weather is playing games. What's it like where you live? Maybe I need to crank out some #ootd's for cold days lol. What's your secret to staying warm?(;

Well I hope you enjoyed this post!

Final Thoughts on Benefits They're Real! Push Up Liner

Hey Guys! I am back with a final review on Benefits Push Up Liner that I reviewed  couple of weeks ago! I have been MIA due to school and am trying to stay on schedule so bear with me please!(:
 

So I've been using this liner for a little under a month & I say that it does do what it promises to do. Which is to give you a liner that can allow you to get close to your lashes! 

But my main problem is....I can't effectively use this product....because I cannot get close enough to the mirror. The pen makes it impossible for me to get close enough to apply the liner.

I am a full on glasses wearer and when I do liner I essentially have to be supper close to the mirror like we're talking breath circles appearing on the mirror close. So trying to create a perfect wing looking in a handheld mirror or even in a vanity mirror makes it way much harder than it should be.
Another thing I cant get over is the fact that all o the natural creases in my eyelid close to my lash line show up with the gel liner. But then again that could just be on of those pet peeves that you alone only notice haha.

So sadly I will either be giving this liner to my mom or returning it to ULTA; who knows maybe they will allow me to get two mini sized ones in exchange? That would actually fix my problem (:

Well I hope this review was helpful!
See ya Thursday!(:

AHHHH!

So I know that I literally have been MIA lol. So sorry but senior year is to blame again! Ever since break ended, I've been ripping and running trying to get my scholarships done and get my laast bit of of recommendations and then find time to study!

It's been a rough couple of weeks for sure.
I just want to let you guys know I'm still here haha-just buried under paperwork

So I will be back this weekend for Simple Saturday and hopefully around for a post on Thursday!(:
Have a great night (:

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
 


I know that I am a bit "late" but I really wanted to spend time on this post and not write it half asleep on New Year's Day haha

So...it's 2015. WOW. 

I don't know why the fact that its 2015 surprises me but it does, like  we are getting so far in time and the scary part is it's flying by!

I am actually really really REALLY excited for this year! I have so much going on...prom, first year of university, maybe a out of country trip...like I just can't wait! But what I am really excited about is finding me-what I mean by that is focusing on myself and what I need to succeed. Through that I will be able to help others. I want to let my light shine and to do that I first need to find it! That might sound harsh but we all sometimes need to start over and what better chance to than now! I want to inspire others and be myself and in order to do that I need to strengthen myself spiritually and live my life the happiest I can. Also not only do I want to be happy but I want to be healthy, therefore I want to get back on track with exercising my body. Not only does it maintain our weight or aid in losing weight but it just keeps the body running smoothly-not exercising is like telling your body you don't care and I'm sure we all care. It allows us to wear great clothes and eat great food haha. But yes, I just want to enjoy life-not like I haven't all my life but I'm getting older and independence is knocking so I really want to start becoming more aware about myself and my surroundings and taking care of me.

I wish everyone a blessed year, I hope that you enjoy life and I also wish you a pocketful of sunshine for those rainy days. I wish that you aren't too hard on yourself and always remember that it's never too late to start off even if its not 1/365 days (;

||||Also, I have decided that I want to create a schedule and stick to it so I will be posting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (Simple Saturday) !|||||

Have a great night(:
What your idea on 2015? Tell me below!

First Impression|||Benefit's They're Real! Push Up Liner

Yes...I did it.
I bought the infamous Push Up Liner

To be honest it kinda hurt shoveling out that 24 dollars but it was soooo nice on my eyes

I went to ULTA the other day to actually buy a new blending brush and they were so expensive! But I know that they will last a while so instead my mom decided that she would buy me brushes and I could get other make-up (:

So what I decided to spend my money on was this liner. I have been wanting a new liner for a while but I honestly like the preciseness of liquid, feel of gel, and and flexibility of a felt tip...weird huh? So in all actually this is actually the perfect kind of liner for me haha.

The Push Up Liner has a AccuFlex tip which is literally so soft and flexible and the formula is soft as well! It glides right along the eye and I was quite shocked at how thick or thin I could make the line. In my opinion it's quite revolutionary...yes I called make-up revolutionary haha. 

(it comes with the plug and it's simply discarded!)



First Impression
///So after walking around the store for what...a good 15 mins wonder what i should spend the alst bit of my Christmas money on, I finally went and was helped by a nice lady who put the liner on me (loveee ULTA employees). She started the application and the first thing I said was "It's so soft." Guys literally you don't feel as if you're wearing makeup, it's quite light which I love!

///Next, I got to look in the mirror and I was stunned at how nice the eyeliner looked and how quickly the look was achieved-wing and everything!

///She then let me do the other eye myself and I was done in under two mins....fastest I've ever been able to do my liner. I think this is what sold me haha, getting the same results as my liquid liner without the hassle of re-dipping after one line was amazing. I walked around and said maybe next time but then I slowly made my way back and picked up a box!

///I fixed my other eye so my wings would match up and my liner worked just fine. I did a smudge test a few hours later and it flake off but I did notice how oily my lips were after I left ULTA so I can not say that this is some horrible liner that does not stay on. In fact I love it so far and I am going to keep wearing for the next couple of days to make sure its for me but so far I am sold.(:

This is my first product by benefit and so far A+! 
I'm sure you'll hear more about it later, maybe a follow-up review.
