How To-sday: How to Get The London Look

Sooo Influenster has challenged me to create a "London Look" using the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer... And I'm gonna go ahead and actually use mostly Rimmel products for this look! This isn't really going to be a huge "whole face of make up" look because I'm going with a bolder lip, but I still think it's a cool trendy somewhat London-ish look. I was actually thinking of doing a smokey eye with really bright lips and cheeks because I've been to London and in the summer at least they had a lot of overcast grey skies, but it pretty much always got really nice and pretty at some point during the day. I like that idea a lot still, but in the spring... It's allergy season, and  sometimes it's nice to take a break from using a lot of shadows and just do very minimum eye make up. So first off, I'm going to prime my face. I'm using the Maybeline Baby skin because I don't have any Rimmel primers, but I have heard great things about a...

Random Pen that I like

Sooo I meant to put this in my True Test Thursday because I also got this in my Uni Voxbox from Influenster, but I seriously love the pen that they sent me! I don't remember the name exactly but I know it was from pilot... Let me check Influenster to see if I can find it... I think it's called the Pilot Acroball pen. It's really nice. It has a thin tip which makes it easy to write with. I like it wayyy more than expected! I don't know why I think this feels wayyy better but it does. I have a coupon for it and I'm def going to use it!

True Test Thursday: Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation and NYC expert last lip color

I received these products from Influenster for testing purposes, I mentioned them in a haul I recently posted and on my first tries I really love both of these. I have dry skin and would normally stay away from a "matte" foundation, but this doesn't give an overly matte look like some foundations. I like to say that some foundations give you "statue face" and cling to all your dry patches and pores. So far I have not experienced that with this foundation. It looks really natural and it covers quite a bit. I wore it on Monday and I couldn't find my concealer, but then at second glance I was like "you know what I may not even need concealer" sooo yeah it works pretty well. The lipstick also is a really fun color and seems to stay on for a long time. I had some on and age some KFC, and didn't feel the need to reapply. The KFC test is a pretty hard one to pass, so this is doing a fine job already. First check in 2:20 (applied makeup at 11:10)...

Feeling Lovely Friday: More Successful Haul + Influenster Uni Voxbox unboxing.

Sooo I was a little bummed about my haul last week... but I recently had a super satisfying and amazing shopping trip where I got a lot of really cool stuff. And it is my spring break, so I have a feeling there will be just a little more to come from this... let's start off though. Cotton On First my friend Cristina and I went to Cotton On and they had 2 for $40 hoodies and we decided to each get one and split the price. I got this nice purple and grey hoodie that says New York and it also says 91 which is my birth-year... so I was happy with that. Forever 21  Usually I don't find anything at forever 21... but this time was different. First I found these really cool sunglasses with a chain detail on the side and because it's forever 21 and its cheap I got 2 of them. I got a cream colored one and a mint one. Forgot to take a pic in these, but you will see them when it gets a little sunnier out fo' sho. <<< PIC !!! Next I saw this really pretty colo...
