Can we talk about finals?

Am I the only one who finds themself in the following scenario?

*A peek inside my head*
Aspersion-(n.) a damaging or derogatory statement. Hmm, that kinda sounds like Aspergers. I wonder how they first diagnosed Aspergers. How did they name it? Is it someone's last name? Sort of sounds like burger. I'm hungry. Do we have food? When was the last time I ate? Oh my gosh its 3:00!! I have to focus....

And thus the process repeats itself.  While "studying" I thought I would share some of my favorites memes about finals.

December Must haves

Hello Chums! Today I wanted to share what I have been obsessed with during the December month!

Makeup Must haves 

Mascara- I'm just a tad bit particular with my mascara. My favorite for this month would be Revlon's Waterproof Lash Potion in the color Blackest Black. This product promises to give spellbinding volume and supernatural length and it absolutely does. It holds a curl for about five hours and does not clump. I usually apply two coats on my lashes before curling. Though this product is a bit pricey ($8.49 at your local target) I will absolutley repurchase. All in all, this product is brilliant :)

Blush (Blusher as they call it in England)- My favorite blusher this month is Clinique's Blushing Blush Powder Blush in the shade Smoldering Plum. Though it is not a new blush, I have recently discovered it and am in love. By barely applying, I am given a subtle pinky plumb color. It makes me look naturally rosy and gives subtle shimmer. The texture is very soft and with a primer, this product can last all day. The packaging is a little plain but very portable. On Clinique.com Smoldering Plum is selling for $21.00. This product was given as a gift but I will no doubt repurchase.

Concealer- C introduced me to L'oreal's True Match Concealer. I am never buying another type of concealer in my life! This product is all around perfect. I am in the shade Light/ Warm 1-2-3. This product hides my blemishes, evens out my skin tone and is SUPER blendable. This product stays on for about sixish hours so if I find it needed, I do apply again. I purchased this product at Ulta for $8.95.

Lip Products- C and I are a little obsessed with Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. I decided to pick up the shade Crush from my local grocery store for $6.99. Boy was that a good buy! I have worn it everyday since! It's creamy, it makes my lips soft, and lasts for hours. The color is perfect for winter because it isn't too dark and is the perfect touch to any look. My other lip product is The Body Shop's Lip Butter in the scent Pink Grapefruit. I cannot stop sniffing the container. I know it sounds weird but it just smell that stinking good! It smells like a real grapefruit and makes my mouth water! I picked it up from ulta today for $6 and am already planning to go back and get different scents. This product does not have color. It is buttery and creamy and leaves my lips feeling soft for hours. I know you aren't supposed to "taste" lip balm  but if you were wondering, this product taste yummy.

Non-Makeup Must Haves

Movie: For my dad's birthday, I took him to go see The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug (rated PG-13 for violence). I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie! The dwarves and Bilbo continue to try and reclaim Erebor (their stollen land) from Smaug (a large dragon). I won't spoil the movie but it was a well spent 161 minutes, ending with a cliff hanger.

App: My favorite app this month is Quizup. It is a free app that quizzes you on about any topic imaginable. You and another player, selected at random from around the world, compete to try and answer the most questions right. You earn points by answering the question correctly and as quickly as possible. With 7 rounds of detailed questions, the matches are usually neck and neck. As you rank up from winning matches, you receive different titles pertaining to the topics you choose. My favorite topic is Harry Potter and I am a Quidditch Seeker currently at level 20.

Song: My favorite song this month have been Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. This song is about a breakup where the singer can possibly say something to reverse plans to go separate ways. With powerful lyrics and Aguilera's delicate voice, this song is very soothing. My other favorite song is Story of My Life by One Direction. This song is much more powerful than any of 1D's other music. With deeper lyrics, it seems One Direction has had a turning point in their music (in a good way). Both Songs I would give a 4 out of 5.

Website: Lastly, with finals creeping up my favorite website is finalexamcalculator.com. This website has you enter your current grade, desired grade and percentage the final counts as. Once filled out, you receive a percentage of which you need in order to achieve the desired grade. 

All Opinions are my own! Stay safe over the holidays!

Daily Beauty Routine|Makeup Monday

Hello all! Today I'm going to share with you the makeup products that I wear on a daily basis and how I get on with them.  Please keep in mind that my opinions are just that, opinions. Just because I do not care for a product does not mean that it is bad.   Here are some photos of my makeup:

   

      1. Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll On ~

   When I first got this I was so excited to try it. I have always had puff under- eyes so I was hopeful that this product could help combat that. After using it for several months, I'm still not sure its doing anything. What's more is that recently it has been stinging my eyes. Overall not very impressed by this product and I don't plan on repurchasing. 

2. Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer ~

This product and I get on very well. This cult classic is perfect for anyone who likes light coverage. I have had to use more concealer on day where I have spots or am extremely oily, but most of the time this gives me just enough coverage. This is a very expensive product so when I run out I may be trying something new.  

3. L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Concealer ~

One of my favorite drugstore finds. Its creamy, and is perfect for under eye circles. Not at all cake and it won't make you look like you are wearing a mask. The L'oreal True Match line has an amazing shade selection. 

4. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matter Bronzer ~ 

I am absolutely in love with this bronzer for many reasons. Its matte, it looks great on fair skin, and it smells like chocolate. Yes, you read that right. Too Faced puts actual cocoa powder in this, hence the scent. Looks fantastic and smells yummy, its a win win. 

5. Tigi Glow Blush (shade is brilliance)~

I am not too impressed by this blush. I received this in a beauty box and decided to test it out. In general I avoid bright pink makeup because it can make me look like a clown. While this blush is not too pink for my skin, it is extremely glittery which i do not care for. The texture isn't great. All in all this blush isn't anything special. 

6. Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter~

One of my new favorites! I have a miniature sample size of this and I love it. It's creamy, blendable, and is subtle when applied lightly and bold when applied heavily. Great way to wake up you face and glow. 

7. Guerlain Météorites Teint de Rose ~

My current favorite finishing powder. You simply swirl the brush over the pearls and dust over you face after applying foundation. These pearls leave my face brighter, and luminous. This does keep my face matte, however, I'm not sure if it is heavy duty enough for those with extremely oily skin. 

8. Benefit Creasless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit ~

Perfect for my oily lids, this cream eyeshadow needs no primer to stay all day. This shade is a beautiful nude with just the right amount of shimmer. Lovely and natural looking. 

9.Covergirl Natural Lash Clear Mascara ~

I get asked about this all the time. ever since I was little I have had extremely dark, long eyelashes. Because they are so long, mascara makes me look like I belong in an insane asylum. Thus, I never wear black mascara. I hate the way it clumps, it makes me look like a raccoon  I have yet to find one thing that I like about black mascara. I was so happy when I tried this product! This clear mascara defines my lashes, holds a curl and i great for those who need something a little more natural. 

Hope you enjoyed reading this. Please leave comments with posts you would like me to do in the future and let me know what you all think! Happy Holidays! ~C

                               

Current Obsessions| Monday Madness

      Hope you all had a lovely holiday and got to see your relatives! I've got several things to talk about, so lets get started.  While spending Thanksgiving with my family I stopped by Walmart and decided that *shakes head in dismay* i needed more lip products. Surprise, surprise all of them are from Revlon. I have a problem and I freely admit it.

     The first thing I grabbed was courtesy of my favorite beauty blogger, Essiebutton, she is in love with this and now i know why, its the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in the shade Tutti Frutti.
As you can see the shade is rather orange based, but it isn't at all in your face, you won't look clownish, I promise. My love for lip balm was very satisfied by just how soft and moisturizing this is. There is a faint scent of vanilla, which I happen to love, though it may not be good for those with extremely sensitive skin.  I will be looking into new shades soon.







My second pick is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart. After loving Smitten, I couldn't resist another shade. This is very pink and i do enjoy that, though on days when I wear it, I wear less blush so as not to look like a pink balloon.  For a more detailed review of the Balm Stains refer to my Sunday Funday post.

And the last new lip product is the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade Fire & Ice. Normally I hate lipstick, it settles into lines and is very drying. However, something about the Super Lustrous formula doesn't give me as I like to call them "granny lips". While its definitely not moisturizing, this doesn't settle into lines and crack and is very long lasting. This cherry red shade is absolutely gorgeous and will look good on just about anyone.

                                                                           Have a great week! ~C
