I was bored and decided to lighten my hair. I got the products from Sally's Beauty. A little less damaging then drugstore and did a good job lightening. I'm still getting used to it but let me know what you think. Should I stay light or go back to dark??heres a pic. Let me know what you ladies think!

Products used:

I used L'Oreal Excellence HiColor in Sandstone blonde. I used two bottles as an allover colour. Left it in for about 40 mins plus blowdried with a cap over top. (i know damaging) Its supose to be less brassy and designed for dark hair only. I used one bottle of Ion Brand developer in level 40.

Bad blogger.

Yes I am talking about me. I have not been keeping up with my blog as much as I wanted to. Why you ask? (maybe not, but thats ok) Well firstly I did somthing very very stupid. I forgot my camera in Ohio. As well as my purse, wallet, cell phone and other important belongings. I am having them sent to me and should have them by next week. Then I will be able to post some pics and show you guys my little haul, which is becomming a bit outdated. Other then that I haven't been up to much, just taking things easy. The weather has been warm lately so I started rollerblading again and have been trying to get active again. Oh yah I was at shoppers (drugstore) the other day and found my new obsession!

Versace Crystal Noir

Smells like nothing else i've ever smelt. Soooooo nice. I smelled every perfume in the isle and finally reached for this and it was somthing different. It's described as, "The central note of the composition is mysterious gardenia, fresh, sensual, luminous and creamy, reproduced by 'headspace' technology,. Amber and musk in the base make the scent dark and mysterious, very sensual and distinct". I know its not the most light and summery scent but I have been looking for a new signature scent. Anyways if you get the chance take a wiff of this stuff and let me know what you think!

Miracle eyelash growth cream! i hope.....

2009-04-06T22:43:00.000-07:00

So today i got a new product. Its called Talika eyelash conditioning cream. Its supose to improve growth and thickening of the lashes which i need very very badly! I am super excited to try this stuff. It supose to take up to 2 weeks to show results but I checked makeupalley and most people seemed to see some kind of an improvement. I am absolutly obsessed with having longer eyelashes and so im giving this a try. I will post some before and after pics as well as updated reviews! The jar is actually the same size as the pic below. Its so tiny! Wish me luck!

Weekend purse haul.

2009-04-05T22:13:00.000-07:00

I realized that lately I have reverted back to wearing bags I purchased years ago. After this realization I decided it's time to get some new bags! So these are my purchases for the weekend. I wanted classic bags I could wear often and versatile enough to go with different outfits. So I headed to Winner's and found some bags that were great deals (I am on a student budget) but absolutly perfect! I am in love with them all!

First bag is a brown crushed leather bag. I was sold when I saw it had three different compartments, very practical and versitile. Oh yah I also got the top I'm wearing in the pic. I love the pattern and color combination.

Everyone needs a black clutch, which I didnt have yet. This is a snakeskin looking material with a removable strap. The best part is the camera and cell phone compartments!

Last bag is a black leather hobo. I like it because it's simple and just what I needed. I only wear gold accessories so the gold hardware is perfect.

Spring Inspiration Board

2009-04-04T01:15:00.000-07:00

So I was a little bored and decided to make a fashion inspiration board for spring! I was inspired by vibrant and fun colors, green, blue and turquoise. I was also going for a bit of an exotic luxurious look. It makes me want to wear a simple little black dress and spunk it up with big gold accessories, blue heels and a sexy little leopard print bag! Lots of great ideas for my upcomming spring wardrobe, cant wait to rock it!

First Blog

2009-04-01T22:05:00.000-07:00

I have been an avid follower of other blogs and finally decided to create my own. I have a passion for anything beauty related, makeup, fashion, art and literature. I am here to share my personal views, opinions, and experiences so i hope you enjoy!

Ok so lets get right into it. There are a few products recently that i have been dying to talk about. First is my new favorite product of probably the year which is mac's natural refined MSF in deep dark. I am right now an NC 44, and this stuff makes my skin glow. Its absolutly the perfect finish and it gives such a flawless glowy look. If you have not tried it go out and get it! it makes the perfect bronzer which is what I use mine for and then lightly dust a little all over my face for a gorgeous dewy bronze glow.

I am also in love with a lush product that I havent heard to many people talk about which is the strawberry scented massage bar. It smells absolutly yummy, like strawberry icecream and it glides on to your skin like butter. I use it on days I want my skin feeling extra soft and smelling delicious ;) I think its only being sold for a limited time so I would def run out and purchase this stuff pronto!
