So I want to share some huge news with you guys, I'm engaged!!!!! As you can see from my photo he proposed in the most him (us) way and I absolutely love it. The ring is gorgeous and I'm so excited to go from boyfriend and girlfriend to fiancé and fiancé.  ^_^ Getting married will be so awesome and cool and I can't wait!! Do any of you guys have any sweet proposal stories you'd like to share?

Hey guys!! I hope you are having a good holiday so far. Today I decided to review my Luxie Beauty Luxie Rose Gold Small Duo Fiber Brush 524T.  This is a very cute brush and I like the look. It's quite soft and has very loosely packed bristles.  So far I've only used this with powder highlighter and I think it's probably best to use for any other loose powder things, like powder foundation or loose face power.  Personally I don't think it would work as well for more tightly packed powders or things you want to use more intensely. 

So I decided to do a post a little different tonight, How do you know when you've found the one? I'm certainly not an expert on this and don't have exact answers, but I'm curious on you guys thoughts.  Right now I KNOW I'm with the guy I wanna spend the rest of my life with. I can't imagine being with anyone else and I never want to.  I have honestly never been so in love or cared so deeply about someone. I'm finding the longer I'm with him, the harder it is when he has to leave and go home, like every time he leaves he's taking a tiny piece of me away and it isn't back until I see him again.  You can even ask him,  I get so sad when he has to leave. It's honestly ridiculous,  but I just miss him so much and we can only see each other a couple times a week most if the time.  I honestly can't wait till we can finally be engaged and married so he doesn't have to leave anymore.  And for me, I think that's h

Hey guys!! Today I thought I'd do a quick review of the Freeman Feeling Beautiful Face Masks. I really like these. They make my skin look and feel very nice and it's kinda fun sometimes to use these to relax.  The cool thing about these is that some of them also come in tubes so if you're like me and don't use face masks THAT often but still enjoy them occasionally then they won't dry out like they can do in these packs.

  Ok guys, so I bought this a few months ago because I found out they had came out with a ton of new colors in this line and thought it would be cool to try.   The reason I haven't reviewed it is because I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO WEAR IT!! I have never had a white lipstick before and I have not found any way so far that this looks nice.   As far as the quality of these lipsticks, the quality is fine. They have decent lasting power (you would only need a few touch ups throughout the day...more if you eat and drink a lot) and they feel nice, but yeah I have no clue how to wear it.   Have any of you guys had a white lipstick before? Any other beauty gurus have any good ideas of how to wear this??

  Hey guys!! I hope you are having a good week so far.   Today I am reviewing the FORMULA X Nail Polish in Huntress.   The name is so cool and it looked like a cool polish so I was super excited to try it. (The nerdy gamer part of me thought it'd be cool to wear a polish called huntress while playing Skyrim... lol)   However I was very disappointed. I painted them on a Saturday night and by morning I already had a little chip (after just sleeping). After working one day(at an animal shelter) , I have a ton of chips and it just looks terrible. Yesterday I really didn't do much so it doesn't seem much worse than Monday night, but especially after using   Kokie Cosmetics Nail Polish  so recently I had so much higher hopes for this.   If you don't do anything this might work well for you, but if you have a job in the same area I do, your a mom, or into cosmetology things or really do anything with your hands I highly doubt this will last.

Hey guys!! How are you? I was recently contacted by a person from the company AUrate New York , a company that makes real gold jewelry. They are selecting a few different bloggers to do a post on holiday gifts that give back. At their own company they donate a book to underprivileged kids when you buy things from them. To stay with my blogs main theme I chose to research beauty brands that give back, these are just a few I found from brands I like. :) Lush- Lush has a  charity pot lotion. If you purchase it, the proceeds go to charity. Mac - When you buy their  Viva Glam Lipsticks or Lipglass they help provide medicine to prevent the spread of Aids from moms to newborns. The Body Shop  - This brand gives back in multiple ways when you buy from them. I highly recommend checking them out. Sephora  - Sephora help women reentering the workforce as well as employees affected by natural disasters and other issues. Josie Maran  - This  brand helps Moroccan

Hey guys!  I'm really sorry I didn't post last week, I was having technical difficulties.  Today I thought I'd review the Elizabeth Mott Color is Bae Lip Lacquer.  I really like this color, it looks very pretty. It has pretty good lasting power,  even when drinking sodas through my class. I'd definitely recommend this if you like lip lacquers.  :)

  Hey guys!! How has your week been going?   Today I'm reviewing the IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara.   This mascara is ok. It does its job, it makes my lashes look longer and a little fuller, but nothing really wows me about it. I've had better ones I liked more.   I'm not saying it's anything wrong with this one, it maybe just isn't necessarily for me. I preferred my X-rated one or Maybelline's The Falsies.   What do you guys who have tried this one think of it? Does anyone prefer this one over others?

Winter Candy Apple: Ok so you guys already know my love for this scent (and if you don't, where have you been? lol). This scent has such a nice sweet appley cider scent and I just love it (I actually got 2!) Christmas Morning: This scent reminds me of a pine tree. It has a hint of sweetness but mostly all pine. I suppose that makes sense since that is usually the type of tree you have for Christmas. A Thousand Wishes: I'm debating if this scent reminds me of a very mature scent or if it just reminds me of that medicine you took as a kid. Not sure how  I feel about this... Vanilla Bean Noel: This is sickenly sweet, if you love super sweet scents then you will love this. Tis' the Season: This has cinnamon undertones but is still pleasantly sweet. It's kinda like going into a Christmas Mouse. Vanilla Snowflake: This is also pretty sweet, a bit much for me personally, but it is a nice scent. Twisted Peppermint: This truthfully just smells like

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the Kokie Cosmetics Nail Polish I got. :) The color I received is in Heavenly. It is a very pretty pastel purple color. This is actually pretty good polish. it goes on fairly evenly. I did get a little frustrated but it wasn't really the polishes fault. The polish takes a while to dry and I thought it was dry when it was still tacky and kinda messed it up, but this polish is one where I was actually able to smooth it out and fix it without starting all over.   I'm very impressed with how long this lasted. This actually really didn't chip at all, my nails grew out to much before this even chipped and I work at a animal shelter so it's amazing it didn't get badly chipped right away. I'd absolutely recommend this nail polish, if it lasts for me working at the shelter then it'll last for most of you guys I bet. :)

Hey guys!! I thought today I'd review the Make Up Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation.  I really like this.  It is very light but still has great coverage.  I really don't need that much concealer when I use this. It has decent lasting power, but a primer definitely helps. I'm actually considering buying the full size version  of this. 

  Hey guys!! Since Bath and Body is bringing out there Winter/Christmas Collection I thought I would take a break from posting my fall reviews till next year since I am still working on them and focus on Christmas ones (As I get Christmas Items...is Dark Kiss a Christmas one?).   Fresh Sparkling Snow: This has a very light fresh scent that is very pleasant. It's almost a floraly scent.   Dark Kiss: This is a very sexy mature kind of scent. It is more musky.   Winter Candy Apple: This is my favorite of these. I honestly don't know how to describe this one, but trust me when I say it is amazing. I absolutely love this. The first time I was introduced to this scent my boyfriends mom had bought the soap and I instantly loved it.      

Hey guys!! My picture  tutorial has been doing so well I thought it'd be cool to film a video version of the tutorial. :) It is the same tutorial so that way you guys can use whichever one you want!

  Hey guys!! How was your week? Mine has been nice, just very busy.   Today I thought I'd review the Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face- Face Primer.   When I first opened this and applied it, it honestly grossed me out. The texture feels so so strange. It is like grainy and greasy.   However that being said, I actually love it. It is a very good primer and makes a really good base for my foundation.   It makes my foundation last without my face looking shiny much longer.   So as grossed out as I was at first I really like it and would recommend it. I am even considering buying it myself when I run out. :)

  Hey guys!! Today I thought I would do a review on the Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Eyeliner.   I don't wear eyeliner much anymore. If  I'm being honest it's mostly cause my boyfriend is not a fan of it. Occasionally though I will still wear it if I'm not going somewhere with him so I decided to give this one a try.   This is the eyeliner I wish I had when I was learning to apply liquid eyeliner. It has a felt tip and is basically like having a pen. Unlike a brush it doesn't move around on its own as much so I love that.   It also had very good lasting power. I wore it to college yesterday and then all afternoon and it didn't budge.   The tip is also great for doing a nice cat eye flick, it's very precise.   I would recommend this to any of you guys, but I'd especially recommend it to any liquid eyeliner beginners out there. :)  

Hey guys!  Sorry I missed my Wednesday post.  Today I though I'd review the Pixar by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle.  This lipstick is ok, but it is in a shade that barely shows up on my lips. Because of that I'm not a huge fan of it honestly. It feels ok and goes on smooth but I wouldn't say it lasted all that long in comparison to some others I have.

Hey guys!  Today I thought I'd review the Delectable by Cake Beauty Lemon and Cream Ultra Nourishing Hand Cream.  This has a really interesting scent,  honestly at first it reminded me of like donuts,  but then the lemon started coming through more. It makes my hands pretty soft so that's nice. I can't necessarily say I'd buy this myself though because I'm not totally in love with the lemon scent but if you like that it is nice.

Snow White - Do you consider yourself beautiful?  I think I'm pretty Sleeping Beauty - How many hours do you sleep at night? As many as possible lol Cinderella - Do you have a curfew? Not really. It depends who I'm out with and what we are doing. I'm 20 so unless I borrow my mom's car I don't have that much of one. Rapunzel - Do you love being outside? Only at the beach lol Honestly it depends, I like going for walks and stuff but in general I prefer the indoors. Red Riding Hood - Do you trust strangers easily? Not at all. It takes me quite a while to really trust someone. The exception is if someone I trust knows and trusts the new person. Beauty and the Beast - What makes someone beautiful in your eyes?   I'm not sure, I guess a mixture of how they look and what kind of person they are. The Little Mermaid - What would you sacrifice for love? Anything. The Frog King - What do you find disgusting? Lot's of things lol Jack a

Hey guys! Today I thought I'd finally review the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series VS Mega Firm Hold Gel. I really like this stuff. It holds styles very well without needing too much.  It also does a decent job of preventing too much frizz. I have used just a tiny bit of this to do that. You can't use too much though for frizz or styling because it can make your hair just look greasy. This is a very sticky product on your hands but it isn't too bad in your hair. It sticks just enough to hold your style. 

Hey guys!! How was your week? Today I'm reviewing the Dr. G Daily Safe BB. I like this for a day I don't want or need much coverage but still wanna even out my skin a bit. This has a very light coverage that is very nice.  It seems to have decent lasting power as well and the Fair one matches my skin perfectly.  I'd absolutely recommend this for light coverage days. :)

Hey guys!  Today I'm reviewing the NYX HD Concealer.  I recently picked this up when I was looking at the Nyx section of Target and remembered I needed a new liquid concealer. I actually really like this, it's a great color for me and does a fairly good job if covering my under eye circles. I have not tried this on any spots so I can't say how it works on those. I'd definitely recommend this for under your eyes though :)

Hey guys!! I hope your week has been nice, today I thought it was finally time to review the Naked Smokey Eyeshadow Palette I got. I have been wanting a Naked Palette FOREVER,  basically since I really started watching beauty gurus on YouTube, but I hadn't had the money for it until recently when I found the Naked Smokey Palette on sale and I just HAD to buy it. And I have to say it was completely worth it. I have been using this a TON since I got it and I love it.  It has beautifully pigmented colors and they lasts all day (with a primer at least,  I haven't tried them without). I love this palette so much I can't wait to get another one! These are the colors swatched in order from left to right. Obviously I'm quite pale so the lighter shades might be hard to see on me but they make wonderful highlights. As a free sample I also received this Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Sample Palette. The colors are quite gorgeous and so f
