A Look Inside: Girls Night

So after receiving tons of new nail decor for my birthday (birthday haul), it was time for a girl's night!

My friends and I spent the day together, in a typical movie- like girl's night. We played games, watched movies, ate pizza, gossiped, talked about guys, school and life, and did our nails.

It was really fun, and for awhile it was nice to not have to think about anything. We were able to have fun in our own way, without having to pay for anything or any of that stuff. Remember, broke college kids here... It was fun to catch up with friends, even if for a couple hours. Watching our favorite movies were fun, and we were all able to quote them and insert our own favorite moments.

In the case that you want to have your own girl's night too...

Here's a list of movies we recommend:
- Mean Girls
- John Tucker Must Die
- LOL
- Enchanted
- Fired Up!
- Ever After
- What A Girl Wants
- Killers

Also, here's some pictures of some our nails!

Benefit Cosmetics Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Review

Benefit Cosmetics: Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Foundation

$36

Pros: Lightweight, Easy Application, Blends Well

Cons: Dewy look

So, I finally finished my old foundation, and I thought I would take this opportunity to buy myself a nice brand name foundation. I purchased this foundation in the shade "I'm all the rage, beige." I must say for a higher brand name, the price was pretty nice (in comparison to Urban Decay's $39 or Smashbox's $42 foundation). For the price, the foundation is really really nice! When applying the foundation there is a pump, which I like because it's cleaner and easily dispenses the same amount each time. The foundation is lightweight, I only need one pump each time. It also blends well and lasts a long time. I know some people complain about its lasting quality, but I have acne and it hasn't shown through after a few hours. Also, I wore this foundation to a concert, and after 6 hours of sweat it still held its coverage.

The only thing I have against this foundation is the dewy finish. However I know that some people prefer this. In order to fix this I use a powder and a setting spray.

In total, I am happy with this purchase. I would recommend this to one of my friends, but I would still prefer a slightly lower price, considering a college student's budge isn't that large.

Birthday Haul

So I know that technically my birthday was more than a month ago.

However, I have amazing friends, who will go above and beyond to get mee some of the wildest and most fun things as presents. One of my best friends from home, Alice, just gave mee my birthday present this past weekend. Inside the bag were all the wonderful things I needed to help further my procrastination at school!

Here have a peek inside!

I absolutely love painting my nails. Nail art, nail deco, nail anything is simply fun and amazing. I see painting nails not as a beauty and fashion accessory, but also a tiny form of personal expression, since your nails are a little creation of art.

Included in my ultimate nail art gift are:
- Dotting tools; 8 different sizes

- Gem rhinestones; stars, ovals, circles

- Empty wheel palettes

- Nail glue

- 3D Nail art decos

- Extra long double sided toothpicks

I can't wait to use all my fun new things and show you guys all the new designs I come up with!
Thank you so much Alice! ~

Daisy Summer Nails

I decided that since summer is upon us, it was time for some cute floral nails. This design is cute and simple, and it only took mee a few minutes to complete.

The colors I used were:
- ULTA Basecoat
- Revlon Fuchsia Fever- ULTA Snow White- Revlon Sunshine Sparkle- ULTA Babydoll- ULTA X-Dry

Steps:
1. Apply a thin base coat to protect your nails.
2. Decide which nails you want which designs on, apply specific color to each nail.
3. To paint a daisy:
    - Thinly apply small lines of white polish
    - Create a star like figure
    - Dot yellow paint in the center of each star
4. On lighter colored nails, use a dotting tool or a striping tool to create simpler designs.
5. Apply a fast dry topcoat to seal in your design.
6. Voila! Simple, fast daisy nails!

For more direction, you may reference my youtube video. However, I apologize because this is my first every youtube nail tutorial!

Makeup Haul

After numerous ice skating shows and awkward panda eye makeup in middle school, I am no stranger to makeup. However, despite what my daddy may complain, you can never have too much makeup! Along with my mall haul, I went on a slight makeup haul too. 

Recently, I have turned away from drugstore brand names in favor of higher end brands. NYX has always been my favorite brand and I will always stand by it. They offer a wonderful color selection, and their eyeliners and eye shadow never fade. Toni Ko, the founder, is asian and being asian, it's really difficult to find makeup that works well with my skin type. 

But I've also taken a liking to Urban Decay. Urban Decay offers a wide variety of bright colors in their eye shadows and eyeliner. The colors all last well, and their eye shadow primer only adds to their appeal. I've heard that Urban Decay also has great primers and setting sprays, so I bought some in an attempt to see for myself.

ULTA Haul:

ULTA is having a deal where any order of Urban Decay over $35 will get you a free gift of a 24/7 Eyeliner pencil. Also, if you don't have one yet, ULTA has a wonderful rewards program, where you build up points and receive various coupons, deals, and free items.

Sears Haul:

Normally I don't shop (or even enter) Sears. However, being in desperate need of a bathroom after drinking a large iced tea, I went into Sears for the first time in a couple years. Sears carries all the same makeup as other generic makeup places, like ULTA. Although Sears is having a 50% of sale for all its makeup, regardless of the brand.

1. NYX For Your Eyes Only Palette for Mysterious Brown Eyes

2. NYX Slide On, Glide On, Definitely a Turn On Eyeliner in Esmerelda

3. NYX Round Case Lipstick in Indian Summer and Femme

4. Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie

5. Physicians Formula BB Cream

6. Rimmel Natural Bronzer

NYX For Your Eyes Only Mysterious Brown Eyes Palette

 All in all, that's my makeup haul! So excited to get to learn how to use all of these now! Well, maybe not learn how to use, but more of how to apply... either or, lots of fun new eye and lip looks to come!
