Hey Guys!

Long time no talk, I know.  Life gets busy, what else can I say.  I really am going to make an attempt to get into beauty blogging again and I want to hopefully make some new friends along the way!  Let me start by asking any of you out there, what is your favorite mascara??  I am in the market for a new one and have no idea what to buy... Let me know what you guys think.

Creme D'Nude Lipstick

I may be the last girl in the world to own Creme D'Nude by MAC.  Nevertheless, I absolutely love this lipstick.  I purchased it on a whim on Saturday and I have found myself not only reapplying it religiously, but staring at my lips in any reflective surface.  This was definitely worth the 14.50 that I paid for it and I am now searching for an equally fabulous lipgloss to pair it with.  <3

Long Time, No Talk

While my absence from this may or may not be justifiable, one thing is for certain, I have been relying on music to get me through tough times in the past months.  I feel like I am at a point where I have found myself once again.  A string of less than perfect relationships had hindered my ability to develop into my own person.  It is an amazing feeling to feel happy in your own skin.

I have been loving the Dum Dum Girls at the moment.  Not only do they have amazing style, they are living a dream of mine. Dee Dee, the lead singer of the group is the ultimate style inspiration for me. 

Hello 2011

I have been working like a mad woman for most of the year and negletting this blog like no other.  Apologies are in order, but then again my absence was not without good reason.  Last night was New Years Eve.  I was able to get dressed up, wear my new Juicy Couture charm bracelet, eat yummy Chinese food, and go to a fun party with my love.  And yet, like other social situations, present last night was the group of girls that enjoy making little side comments about other girls because they have their own self esteem issues eating them up inside and they feel the need to vent by being mean.  I was young compared to others at the party.  I am only 22 and the particular female that made me her target was 32.  She enjoyed saying things such as, "you were not alive when this song came out," and then smiling all coy as if I was supposed to have a response.  Well, I didn't have a response other than wanting to jump across the room and tackle her.  The little angel on my should told me that was a bad idea ;)  It just amazes me that no matter where I go, it seems like people are trying to bring me down.  This year I am going to make and attempt to not care what other people think. It is going to be hard for me, because on some strange level, I do care.  I need to learn to be myself no matter what other people say or do..  So this is how I am ringing in the new year.  Hope you all had lovely holidays as well....

Haul, well sort of...

I purchased Lash Blast last night.  I haven't used that mascara in probably over 3 years and I couldn't remember if I liked it or not, which may be a bad thing.  I was reading one of my favorite blogs, "Pearls and Poodles" and Milly was raving about the mascara after she picked it up after a recent trip to NYC.  I decided to give it a go again.  I haven't worn it, but after using it for a while, I am sure a review will be in order.

I also bought strawberry Carmex.  Carmex is literally my favorite thing to wear on my lips.  I lasts forever and I don't have to worry about re-applying it at work and such.  I have the potted version of the original Carmex, but I needed one with SPF, so I opted for the strawberry tube.  Loves it.

I am too tired to post pics, and I don't see the point as most people know what both products look like, lol. Perhaps after I nap I shall upload some.

Style Icon : Audrina Patridge

I love Audrina.  She is definitely my favorite character on the Hills and I adore her style.  It is the perfect mix of rocker chic with a touch of femine. I have been wearing my hair in a side braid at work constantly.  It keeps me cool in the humidity and looks cute.  I am desperately in need a Chanel bag and some aviators.  I had the aviators, but they sadly broke over the weekend :(  Oh well, here is the lovely lady...

I Want....

this.  I don't care, it is adorable.

Style Icon

Of course the Kardashians are all an inspiration to me.  They are simply gorgeous.  Kourtney's style is so fresh and flowy for summer.  I adore her long waves, and gold accent pieces in every outfit.  She is so flawless.   Her neutral makeup look is always something I try to emulate.

NOTD

I officially begin my summer job tomorrow.  With this said, my nails must be a professional length and color.  Lovely, boring colors when I want to wear neon!   Oh well.  So for my first day I chose a nice milky pink shade in Revlon's "Pink Chiffon."  Two coats does the job, but three would look the most opaque.  Nice neutral manicure for work, I suppose. 

Flowers

My allergies are kicking my butt :(   No eye makeup for me for a few days, sadly.....


My roses are growing very nicely in my garden.  Love!
