Make Up For Ever Smoky Palette

Hey!

Recently I got a very exciting purchase at Sephora and I decided to share it with you guys!

MUFE: SMOKY PALETTE


I haven't really seen this been raved about yet, but I'm guessing it's because it very new, it came out with wonderful Eye khols and tinted mascaras.

Pictures?

Even though I got mine a week or two ago, I still haven't used it..(I want to save for when school starts). That is why it's still in it's packaging. 

It offers the most amazing set of smoky colors, everything you need! Also it comes with two brushes: a tapered brush and a flat brush. 

On the back, It has instructions to create a smokey eye and I will use these because they look very helpful! 

Thanks for reading! 

I know this was a very short post but I wanted to post something! 

Fall 2011: Beauty Trends

Hello bubbles!

I know I haven't been blogging, vlogging or making any videos a lot  this past summer; but I will be getting back on track with my videos and posts (including my 'Friday Files')

So to kick off the new season I decided I'll share some beauty trends!

Starting . . .  NOW!

Trend #1

Metallic Smokey Eyes.

This might as well be one of the biggest trends. We all know the basic smokey eye, matte browns, greys and blacks blended with a bit of white, but this is the new generation of the 'smokey eye' all you need is to add a bit of a silver/gold to your basic smokey eye and your set to go!

Chanel have recently came out with a series of metallic cream shadows and I went yesterday and bought a couple! They are gorgeous!

Trend #2 

Red Lips

When has this not been trend? Never. 

In my opinion fall is the perfect season to rock red lips, they can look very elegant paired with the right hair and outfit or slightly 'edgy' paired with jeans and dark eyeliner. So make sure you have a great red lipstick! 

Trend #3 

Winged Eyeliner 

This I know, I will definitely be wearing a lot wether it's school or just walking around the mall with friends. I find the 'winged liner' look is easiest to achieve using liquid/gel liner NOT pencil:

a) Pencil smudges really fast 

b) The wing will turn out fat and messed up 

My most favorite is liquid, so I stocked up on some liquid liners and got 2 new gel liners, I already own most of the Bobbi Brown gel liners so I got one to complete my collection: 'Espresso Ink' and I got the Mybelline one! 

So these are the somewhat 'main' beauty trends for this fall + one being BOLD lashes (which is quite self explanatory!). 

Thank you for reading,

Summer Trend: The Swimsuits

So this is one of my 'Summer Trend' posts and today I'm featuring the swimsuits. 

Since I'm on holiday where there's beaches everywhere, I've been noticing some swimsuit trends. 

Here we go, 

1. One Shoulder: 

I used to see more one shouldered swimsuits with thin straps but recently thick straps have been the 'it' thing. 

2. Ruffles 

Personally, I'm not a big fan of these but I have to admit they do add a touch of 'feminine' into a plain swimsuit. 

3. Vintage Inspired 

High waist bottoms, Playful patterns, sweetheart necklines! Love them! These are my favorite, they're really chic and glamorous. You can be as bombshell as Monroe and as sophisticated as Kelly!  

That's it for now! 

Vanilla Dreams

I really don't know what to blog about.

I just know that I want to write something.

I'm about to leave for a tennis lesson in five minutes and I just had breakfast; A Soy Vanilla Yogurt, Scrambled Eggs and a Pain au Chocolat. Mmmm. . .

As most of you might have guessed I'm on summer vacation and honestly I am having so much fun ! I've been meeting up with my old friends and my best friend lives with them so we've been going out a lot! My best friend is also soon going to live with me and we're so excited! Anyway, I pretty much think this was a rather pointless post, but at least I posted.

Thanks for reading!

Beach Bag Essentials

Since it's summer I've been going out to the beach and pool everyday and my beach bag has been full.

So I decided to share my essentials.

Here we go;

1. My beach bag. 

I recommend getting quite a big one, mine's from Lancaster and it's nice and waterproof inside. A big straw bag (like shown in my collage) is also a very good option. 

2. Sun Cream/Lotion I like to use SPF 50 and my favorite brand is Nivea (because of it's amazing smell and consistency) 

3. A Snack.

I loooove snacking at the beach, my favorite snack for the beach is popcorn; it's light and fat-free. A granola bar is also one of my favorites. 

4. Sunglasses. I've recently been to the eye doctor with my mom and he told us that UV lights to a lot of damage to your eyes, it might not be visible now, but in a few years you might start to get weaker eye sight and wrinkles everywhere around your eyes. My favorite brands for shades are: Emilio Pucci, Chloe, Ray-Ban and Carrera. 

5. A good book. I decided to read 'To Kill A Mockingbird' by Harper Lee over the summer so I ordered it online and I currently read it at the beach. 

6. A body fragrance/mist. Everyone needs to freshen up once in a while, so carrying a body mist always helps. I especially like body mists because they're very light. I like the body shop ones and so far I've only tried 4 of the bath and body works ones and I love them. My favorite one being: Cucumber Melon. 

7. A Concealer. I always carry a concealer with me just in case. The Boi-ing concealer from benefit is one of my favorites. 

8. My ipod. Carrying around an ipod/mp3 is always a good idea. I like listening to it while tanning or reading my book. 

9. Water. In the sun it's always important to stay hydrated and moisturised. I love 'Fiji' water. 

10. Beach Shorts a.k.a. surfing shorts. I really find these useful wether it's to go grab and ice cream straight from the beach or just if it gets kind of chilly. Plus the good thing about these is that they dry very fast so you don't have to worry about getting water on them. 

11. A beach towel. I think this is fairly obvious, haha. 

12. A hair brush. I like brushing my hair after swimming because it really helps later on when I wash my hair and condition it. My hair stays tangle-free. 

Thank you, 

Vanilla Dreams
