and saw this on Facebook.
Isn't it absolutely adorable and silly?
Definitely fits me;
if you know me and my goofy moments you would agree.
Want it so bad.
If you want this lovely bear faux fur coat

Good night everyone ^-^

2 Ways To Wear A Holiday Dress

So I saw this cool video on Free People's Blog
and felt the need to share it with you guys.
Enjoy ^-^ and good night.

Bees At Sunset

 Took some pics of my outfit during sunset.
It was really beautiful with all those clouds in the sky.

 In this one, in the bright spot, I see a bust of a women's face in with curly hair pulled up.
My mom said she sees a guy laughing lol.

 Check it out my hair is growing so long ^-^
Was having some fun goofing off in front of the camera.

 Tee hee phone charm swung into the picture.


 My mom gave this blouse for my birthday covered in adorable bees.

 The spirally ring is a ring my boyfriend made for me out of wire.

 There's some of this really old rusty stuff in the back of the yard that I couldn't resist taking photos by.

Levi's/high waist jeans

Got these shoesies at Target.

Hee hee stripey socks.

Things That Interest Me

 A painting by Audrey Kawasaki, called "Yuuwaku" allure, oil and graphite on wood.
I just wish my artwork were as awesome as this.
I do love images of beautiful women.

Here's an example of my artwork to give you an idea.
I have a bit of a water color style, but haven't actually learned how to use water colors yet.
Acrylic on canvas.
Been thinking of wanting to learn how to use oil paint someday because it is suppose to be much easier to blend, but so much more drying time between layers.
(Yes I've posted about this painting before. It's my favorite of my work so far.)

This is a fox skull that Dominic (my boyfriend) found in the back of our friend's yard when he was doing work for her.
I love this old brown look to it.
Think he ended up getting it to a bleached white.

Natalie Suarez, one of my favorite bloggers.
She is very inspiring in her style and the way she lives.
She's a model, a musician who sings and plays piano and guitar, and she travels the world for her job.
She always has this free spirit about her that I absolutely love.

On a side note,
I honestly keep thinking of going back to having bangs like these.
But then I remember how bummed I was when I wanted them to disappear.
It took forever for them to grow out.

This feathery looking jacket right here.
I want it.
An awesome faux fur coat that can be found here at Naomi and Lavender.
It just give that free bird feel if you know what I mean.

I absolutely love flower crowns.
Been thinking of making my own.
This girl Sharon makes these flower crowns that you can buy at her Etsy shop here.
And you can check out her awesome blog here.

Oh and by the way it was my birthday yesterday.
I turned 23.
I've been asked if I feel older, but honestly no I don't.
I still feel the same, but the number keeps changing.
My interests and style changes, but older nope not at all.

Ta ta for now my lovelies.

Lipstick From October

So I bought a whole slew of new lipsticks the day before Halloween.
Was out running errands with my mom
and was thinking of how I've really been wanting a black lipstick to try out just for the fun of it.  Then started thinking of how it would be lots of fun to try out a whole bunch of other colors too.
So after all errands were run,
I ended up buying a total of 10 lipsticks, balm stain, and lip butter.

Revlon- Just Bitten Kissable- Balm Stain- 010 Darling Cherie
The stick it's self looks like a lovely lavender (3rd from the left in the image above).
But when put on my lips, it gives them a soft pink tint.
It's hardly noticeable and basically works as a chap-stick.
Decided to return it because it didn't make my lips that lovely lavender color.

Revlon- Colorburst Lip Butter- 065 Creamsicle
The stick is peach.
Just adds a light, hardly noticeable shimmer of peach tint to lips.
Going to return this one as well.

Thinking that balm stain and lip butter is not what I want
because they don't give a bold color as lipstick.
I don't think balms and butters are really worth buying in different shades
because I can't tell the difference when they're on the lips. 

Maybelline- Colorsensational- 740 Sparkling Sand
Stick is a pale beige color.
Acted as the previous balms,
not noticeable, going to return.

Maybelline- Colorsensational- 440 Mauve It Up
Stick is a plum color.
On lips it is more of a purple tinted red-raspberry.
Even though this is a "colorsensational" as the previous
the color actually shows on the lips.
Guess they made some improvements
because the packaging says it's a new shade.

As a note to lip colors
your natural lip color will affect how the color of your lip products will appear over your lips.
So because my natural lip color is a red-salmon shade
I will expect my lip products to have my natural shade to show through
if they are not made of a waxier content.

Loreal Paris- Colour Riche- 176 Sunset Angora
The lipstick is a salmon-pink (on the far left).
On my lips it comes out quite like that color,
but of a calmer tone and red-tinted from my natural lip color
because this lipstick is of a less waxy content.

Loreal Paris- Colour Riche- 177 Fiery Veil
The lipstick is a bold red-orange (2nd from the left).
On my lips it is slightly tamer than the stick color,
yet still bold,
and of course a redder orange.
Definitely a lipstick I'd use for a sexy, unique red.
This color is for attention grabbing.
And it looks great with my dark brown hair/eyes and golden skin.

Lipstick tip#1:
For soft nice looking lips,
always apply chap-stick on before you apply lip color.
Chap Stick brand is my favorite because it always keeps my lips soft.
And if your lips are peely
a gentle scrubbing with a soft toothbrush can scrub that away.
Always apply chap-stick after exfoliating.

Rimmel London- Lasting Finish Lipstick- 276 Kasbah
Lipstick is a bronze-salmon.
On lips a redder bronze,
extremely close to the color of the lipstick.

Rimmel London- Lasting Finish Lipstick- 124 Bordeaux
Lipstick is a maroon-wine.
On the lips it is much more of a red-wine than the actual lipstick.
Quite bold and womanly.
Tends to make the skin tone appear lighter,
which I really like.

Lipstick tip #2:
To make lipstick last long,
even while drinking drinks,
be sure to add more than one layer.
1st apply chap-stick then blot with tissue,
apply a layer of lipstick then blot,
continue layering and blotting between each layer 'til reach desired color.
Sometimes I'll just do two layers of lipstick,
other times maybe five layers.
After you eat your lipstick will fade,
so you will always need to re-apply after eating,
but possibly just a light touch-up after drinks.

Revlon- Super Lustrous Lipstick Creme- 663 Va Va Violet
Lipstick is a very dark purple.
On lips a pretty purple-wine.
But the lipstick doesn't stick well,
it's quite patchy, 
my skin shows through pieces of the lip color.
It's as though this lipstick is of cheaper quality,
so going to return it.

Wet n Wild- Fantasy Makers- 12460 Black/Noir
Lipstick is black.
Appears black on lips.
A very soft lipstick,
so if not careful it can get a bit messy.
In this case it may be wise to secure the lipstick
by putting some cover-up around the lip area so it won't bleed.
When my dad first saw this lipstick on me,
he freaked out, lol.
And my boyfriend absolutely loved this color on me
when I sent him a pic to his phone.
Black lipstick is an extreme way to get people to notice you,
and a fabulous winter color;
dark as the cloudy skies.

Lipstick tip #3:
To calm a lipstick color down;
such as bold black lipstick.
First apply a layer of chap-stick (don't blot),
then apply a layer of lipstick.
Instead of blotting with tissue,
you will want to blend the lipstick into the chap-stick with your finger.
This thins out the waxiness of the lipstick creating a sheerer color.
Try to keep the color within the lip.
If lipstick bleeds out you can get a q-tip and some make-up remover to clean up outside the lips.

If you go out there to experiment with lip colors,
don't worry if it doesn't workout
because you can always return it for store credit
or exchange it for something else in the make-up section.
Always save your receipt.

Happy experimenting ^-^

How My Halloween Was

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween yesterday.
I know I did.
 
Went to school,
only had one class to go to.
 
Then off to Dominic's,
where I was pampered with hot tea and soup since I wasn't feeling well.
We watched lots of The Big Bang Theory,
then I napped for hours.
 
Went home with my mom, grabbing some Mickey's Yogurt on the way.
Added a few last minute decorations to the front of the house,
with what we already had out there.
Then spent the night pigging out on snacks,
watching a comedy,
and handing out lots of candy to all the cute, little trick-or-treaters with my mom.
 
 And the whole day I was dressed up in a costume I created from my closet.
Decided I was gona dress up as some kind of forest cabin girl.
So I pulled out a plaid red dress from Urban Outfitters,
some blue skinny jeans,
a furry brown vest of faux fur,
cozy brown boots from bass with white faux fur lining and suede strings that tie up the side,
a flower crown of fake white daisies,
and some forest influenced jewelry with leather string, metal, beads of stones,
and a tiny medacine bag necklace made of leather.
 
Now to get ready for Thanksgiving ^-^
