2014 BEAUTY WISHLIST

Its only been 4 days and it feels like its been 10, I guess I do need to be on a schedule to get posts in every 2 days. I've just been in major writers block right now! With 2014 in full gear its time to start buying those new year products. I've compiled a list of ten products I want to see in my makeup collection by December 31. 

Ever since the Lorac Pro Palette same out I've been lusting after it, so has the whole beauty community. I just love the row of matte and row of shimmer. Another palette that I've wanting, that is quite new, is the Naked 3 Palette. It`s just so pretty and romantic perfect for a Valentines gift. Sadly I won`t have the money by February 14. Something else I'e been lusting after is some Sleek Blush Palettes. I have heard so much about them that I just can`t resist any longer. The Mrs.Bunny Sigma Brush Set is something I NEED! I really want to try out some sigma brushes and this set is just super cute. I am on the search for a perfect mattifying primer so I am hoping that I can the Korres Mattifying Primer out in 2014.

The Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara is something I've been wanting for who knows how long. I am hoping this is the year. I've heard so much about the Tarte 12hr Amazonian Clay Blushes so I'm really hoping to get my hands on one of these $31 blushes. Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish seems so amazing and high quality. There's such pretty colors and are a major want. I had a sample of the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks and I fell in LOVE so I'm hoping to get a full size in any color available! The last but not least is the Beauty Blender Pro. It looks so chic and you won't be as disgusted by the stains because you can't see them!

That's my top ten lusts for 2014! What are yours, beauty and more?

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS STYLE STEAL

Who else loves Pretty Little Liars? I do! and now that the second half of season 4 premiered on Tuesday I thought I'd do a little style steal of the outfits from the episode. I chose one for each of the girls that I liked the best. Some of these pieces are exacts and some are similar. I tried to find at least one exact item per outfit and I succeeded! I think each of the outfits I chose for the girls are an exact representation of their styles which is a bonus! Lets get into the outfits..

Spencers style is very preppy and "nerdy" I guess you could say. Its very put together and proper, she involves a lot of blazers, dresses, blouses, oxfords and structured things into her wardrobe. I saw this outfit from the episode which I think captures her fashion perfectly. The blazer is very structured and fitting and the dress is also very form fitting and has a classic shape to it. The dress is an exact piece from the show but the blazer is a similar item.

Aria always has very interesting, girly, well thought out outfits.I do admit that this isn't a very typical Aria outfit but I think it still captures an essence of her style with the girliness. The dress is absolutely adorable and has a pop of red/orange in it which gives off an Aria vibe. The jean jacket just adds that little extra something to the outfit so it's not completely boring. The dress is an exact match to the one in the show and the jean vest is a similar one as the exact match was sold out. The original is from Aeropostale though if anyone is interested

Dress | Jacket

Hanna is the one to have the very chic, fashion forward, trendy outfits. Hanna stays very on trend unlike Spencer who wears things not necessarily trendy. Shes usually seen in little jackets that add a jazz to an outift, cute dresses, funky jeans/pants and high heels. This outfit captures this perfectly, its a very fashionable outfit and involves some trendy things right now like booties, leather and fashionable sweatpants. Sorry that everything is sold out but that just proves how trendy she is! Everything is an exact match to the items shes wearing which may explain the expensive blouse from Marc Jacobs.

Finally we have Emily who is the more tomboy, sporty dresser. She is mostly seen in jeans, plain sneakers like converse or vans, a plain t-shirt with a jacket/sweater over top. She does wear dresses sometimes which explains my outfit choice. I couldn't find a whole outfit from the episode that I likes so I took 2 pieces from separate outfits to feature. The first is a dress which is a t-shirt style and gives off a sport jersey look. Perfect piece for Shay Mitchells character. This is an exact piece from show. I actually really love the dress. The last item is a black and white pleather jacket. The exact match is not sold anymore sadly so I found this somewhat similar jacket from express. Its just very casual.

Dress | Jacket

That's the four outfits from the mid-season premiere episode. Sorry a lot of the things are sold out but I guess more people found out about where to buy the exacts and bought them out. I'm really annoying about the Zara jacket, I actually really like it. I was actually surprised about how long it took me to put this post together so I hope you liked it. Until next time my loves!

SHOP YOUR STASH- WET N WILD

Everyone has products deep in their collection that they totally forgot about. I know I do so I am starting a new series where I will feature one product that I decided to take out of my stash and use. I will then decided whether I want to keep it or not. This way I get rid of things I don't like while also finding new things I didn't know I loved. I encourage you all to do the same and Shop Your Stash! Todays choice is the Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection.

 The shadows are very buttery and creamy and easy to blend. The pigmentation of the shadows is slightly dodgy. It takes quite a few swipes to get it to an intense color payoff which is a huge bummer. Number 1 and 2 are absolutely ridiculous, I don't know how wet 'n' wild would even put them in the palette. They have little to no color payoff. They would be my most used eye shadow colors but sadly they are barely usable.

One big thing about these eye shadows that I really don't like is the fall out. These shadows have chunky glitter in them which seems to separate from the color when swatched or used. So your left with glitter all around your eyes and onto your cheek. tsk, tsk

I love how on the back of the palette they give you different combinations of colors that give you a different look. From natural to smokey. Its really handy for people that don't have a lot of creativity or makeup beginners. Its a very universal palette and can be used any time of day which makes it amazing. 

The best part though is that its only like $3-$5CAD. Thats crazy!

1- has very little pigmentation but its a shimmer white color

2- No color payoff at all! But its a matte mauve color

5- Good pigmentaion. A shimmery, frosty pink but shows up white/cream when used.

6- A burnt orange, red, purple color. It has decent payoff. Need to use a lot of swipes of color

3- Very good color payoff. Its a dark purple color with light shimmer

4- A slightly lighter color than 3 with more shimmer. Really good pigmentation

7- A black color with bronzy shimmer. Good color payoff. 

8- A black with sliver shimmer. Good pigmentation but shows up grayish.

My favorite colors from the palette are 5, 6 and 8.

Finally, I will be giving this away. I don't think the pigmentation is there and the fall out is too much for me. Yes some colors have good color pay-off but overall this palette is not up to par. Let me know what you think of this palette if you've tried it. 

Until next time loves! What have you shopped for in your stash lately?

2014 BLOGGER CHALLENGE- NEW YEARS INSPIRATION

Well it's officially begun, the 2014 Blogger Challenge! I am super excited to embark on this journey for 2014 and hope you are looking forward to it as well. If you are also a fellow participant just leave your blog link or your first post link in the comments and I will be more than happy to check it out. The first topic of the year is your New Years Inspiration which I am excited about because I love quotes and inspiring things.

I found this quote on Sweet Dreams Blog and I instantly fell in love with it. This quote represents having a fresh new start at the beginning the year. You start with blank pages and throughout the year you fill them with mental pictures and words that represent your year. By doing what you love and want, you are slowly filling in the 365 pages of your year. Each year comes with a brand new book to fill with love, memories and happiness so make the most of the year so you have 365 things to write or show in your book.

You may even take this a step further by actually having a book of 365 pages to represent your 2014 year. Each day get a picture from the day, a saying you read, a little blurb of your day, whatever you want to remember of that day and put it on a single page with the date. On December 31, 2014 you can look back on your year and think and wonder.

This quote says something, it tells us to make memories and not just be in the world. Don't sit around day after day staring at your t.v screen or phone screen, get out and do things and make special moments with people. But don't just fill your book with physical things you did, fill it with mind thing. Show your mental growth through the year, if your resolution is to be more confident then show your improvement of that and make sure your book has the day you became confident in it.

Your brand new book is a collection of your year long memories and personal growth, it tracks your goals and progress. By the end of the year if you can say your book has 365 things that truly mean something, then you can say you succeeded even if you didn't make all your goals. I don't mean you have to have a physical copy of your book but on December 31 think back on your days and make sure you're proud of every single day.

Heres to a wonderful year ahead!
