The Pink Stars are Falling (in purple)

 
 
 
 Yeah, I'm a watcher of Under the Dome. Really it's been the best TV series I've watched! But this post isn't about The Dome. It just came to mind when I took the shot above with the sky was so red. It looked like the time that they thought the outside world had been destroyed.

Blouse:

   No Boundaries

   RN#44480
   Color: Purple
   Style: FFNJ32006T

    To go with the Under the Dome theme we have a butterfly blouse! I have another in blue with stars.
   There is a lot going on in the front. Five ruffles going own the front so it might not be advisable for a larger in the bust lady to try this style. I'm a 32 A/B. (do you realize how hard it is to find underwear in a 32 ?!?!)
   The fabric is sheer so you need a tank top or such underneath. I'm wearing a blue top here.

Pants:
  Faded Glory
Size 8A

Makeup

• Cover Girl Black/Brown Blaze FLAMED OUT MASCARA
• L.A. Colors BabyPOP Eye Shadow
• Wet N Wild FERGIE +FergieVEVO  CENTER STAGE COLLECTION PERFECT POUT LIP COLOR A040 D-Vinely Chilled

    Looking at the reviews for Cover Girl Black/Brown Blaze FLAMED OUT MASCARA quite a few people hated it. I personally think it's a good natural looking mascara in opposed to the dark black ones I normally wear. It's easy to put on without a mess, but as for the wands they give you... I'm still trying to figure out how to use them right! I found instructions on for this here... FLAMED OUT MASCARA Apparently I have not been doing it quite right... well, now I know... we'll see how that goes next time... :-)

    Going with purple with the eyes too. This is a special stocking stuffer set from this Christmas. I'm a bit impressed with L.A. Colors eye shadow. Very shiny pearlescent look. Check out L.A. Colors Shadow's Dance Shadow for more about my experience with LA Color's Eye Shadow, it's DANCE PROOF!


   There was a BOGO half off sale and so for my get one I took a chance with Wet N Wild FERGIE CENTER STAGE COLLECTION PERFECT POUT LIP COLOR  . Why? The glitter! This color stood out from the others in the collection because it had a glitter to it. It's a nice purple red hue. Wasn't sure how I was going to like it but I made a good chose. It lasts well too. The best way to put it on I have found is put a coat on clean lips and let it sit there for a few minutes. Reapply again. You can even do this a third time. Try it and let me know if it works for you!!!

Accessories

• Necklace

    Mystic Blue Topaz, remember these? They were so pretty! I don't see them anymore. This necklace is a simulated Topaz. I got this one because it matched a real Mystic Blue Topaz ring I already had. But real or not "Mystic Topaz" is a treated clear stone with a coating on the back to make it iridescent. So they may not last forever but they are really pretty and thus far the coating has not chipped or done anything weird yet. I've had this one over 10 years now.

And going back to the +Under The Dome theme....

Sweater Dress

• Ronni Nicole

     Size M (Fits like a small 8 or a 6)
     Made in China
     Modern


   I had been looking for a sweater dress but could not find one of any quality worth buying. I finally ended up with this lovely dress. I'm pretty picky when it comes to fabric. I go for all natural fabrics like cotton, silk and wool. They are more comfortable temperature wise... oh, the feel of good quality silk is so nice!
   There are exceptions to the rule thought. This one is polyester. But it's so pretty and of fair quality.
   I shop thrift stores to retail and ALL OF THEM looked like they belonged in a rat's nest or something!


Stock Photo for similar dress

   This one caught my eye and FIT! I really enjoy the multi colored yarn! I still don't know how long this dress will last. The quality is better then the many I pasted up! Not sure how long this one will last me but I'm going to enjoy wearing it! :-) And I realized it's a perfect winter wear in the south, a short sleeves and skirt sweater dress!
   I did find a dress by Ronni Nicole that is made from the same fabric. It doesn't have the pattern in the front though. Overstock.com +Overstock.com  has it here Ronni Nicole Women's Buttoned Cowl Neck Sweater Dress $64.99

Shoes:

   I'm wearing these here too... Sunday Evening Concert Look.

Stockings - Faded Glory, most likely, I've had them a while. Glittery brown fish net stockings

Accessories

• Robin Ruth Purse +Robin Ruth DE 

      Made in China
      Modern

   I found this purse while I was working in NY this year. They had various versions to pick from. I decided on this one. Love the colors and even more the ombre' effect on the zippers!
   Bad news though... you can only get a certain purse in the city your in. In AL you can find a football Bama bag but your not going to find a NY one there. But here's the good news for you... they have a website! It looks like they have bags for a bunch of cities like New Orleans, Miami, Las Vegas... and so fourth.
   They also make larger bags as well. I saw one that had the Empire State building that was great but a bit big to use as a purse.

• Necklace

   Christmas Present :-) I like the way this looks with this dress!! And if you have a name that starts with an A you know how it can sometime be hard to find an A! They are the first to go!

Denim Day Off

  Just cause you’re not working doesn’t mean you can’t look nice on your day off too!

T-shirt:

• White Stag

Size S (4/6)

Rn #59343

Style: FFW5482129F

UPS# 60535547958

Modern

This outfit kind of fell together and I really like this combination! Shirt is made by White Stag. 100% cotton. I have no idea what is written on this other than "Paris" but there is a lot of French to go along with pictures of French landmarks. The front side is beaded. The sleeves are elbow length. This shirt is a small but it’s a very lose fit on me.

Jacket:

I'm also wearing this jacket here as well....
   Is That Scary For You. Baby?

Pants:

• Faded Glory Quality Goods

Size 10P

Made in Bangladesh

RN# 52469

No vanity sizing with these. These are nearly too big on me but quite comfy for everyday wear. Might need to just alter these eventually cause it’s nice to have lose jeans. At some point these did fit me. I have lost a lot of weight through the years. When I went Gluten free and made other healthy eating changes my weight started to drop again. My almost too tight skinny jeans from not that long ago are now my fairly lose skinny jeans. These date back farther than those. Long enough to have a real weathered look to them.

I'm also wearing this here....

Check back on other looks. I wear these a lot. They are a very soft plastic and the color goes along with more outfits then I thought they would!

Makeup:

It’s your day off… Theater requires a LOT of makeup. There have been times I have just stopped wearing makeup outside of work! A lot of the time it just depends on my mood.

Day off = no makeup other than gloss. (I have to take mind to control my buying of lip sticks and gloss! I’ve got a good collection.)

After going Gluten Free, yes, I do have very good skin but I’ve been on the other side too. (Hey, I weighed 225 once!) I want this to be a Healthy Beauty Blog not one that tells you that you are more awesome when dressed and made up to the T and wearing a 2. Life is much more valuable than that. Being beautiful is a life style that should be grown from the inside out. Don’t be too scared to go out with no makeup and feel comfortable about it! Let me tell ya, good friends won’t care and your life will not end. Just saying…. ;-) And really you could be the most perfect person on earth and SOMEONE will most likely find something to go at you about. It’s not that you’re fat or look like a connect dot’s sheet of acne. People put people down quite often to make themselves feel better then you. It’s them that have the problem cause the fact is, no one is perfect… it’s how you handle your imperfect self… some put others down… in turn you put yourself down… in turn nobody is really happy. I encourage you to realize this silliness and enjoy who you are.

Lips:

• L.A. Colors Brilliant Shine Glitter Gloss LG820 "Rosie Pink"
• The Color Workshop Lip Glossy Ultra Shine Lip Gloss by Markwins International ("The beauty revolution never ends")

I got this Markwins gloss in a Christmas set. It was like a set of 5 or 6. Not my favorite Gloss, it’s a little watery but wearable. I also wish it was a bit more moisturizing. It is watery but it does have a pretty good color intensity.

I used the "Rosie Pink" in the middle of my lips creating a two tone look you’re seeing out there now. I was surprised how well the combo worked.

Haha, my mom loves this LA Colors Gloss! The color does not go on as brightly as it looks in the tube but it is a quality gloss. Like I said, my mom loved it… not sure I’m sold on it… but I haven’t used it much (My mom lost it when she borrowed it…)

Accessories

• Flower clip

I picked up this at one of those small dollar stores that was down the street from my place in NJ. There were two of them. Right before I left I saw one of these and thought, that looks fall’ish and grabbed it. It’s a golden brown flower with matching feathers. It happens to match the piping in the Jacket.

Hair:

• Jaw Clip

Brushed to one side. Hand twist hair to base of pony tale. Twist remaining hair in a ball and clip on a large jaw clip.

Is That Scary For You, Baby?

   First off… if you have never seen Michael Jackson’s +Michael Jackson  Ghost, it’s time! It impressed me more then Thriller the first I saw it! Check it out at the end of this post!

 

    And so rolls through another Halloween!!! Always one of my favorite holidays because of all the fun of putting on a costume! I even continued with the costumes as an adult. I have not missed a year but one, which was the year of Sandy. I spent that Halloween in a Red Cross shelter... tops on my worst hurricane experiences...

  

 

  T-Shirt:

Size M

This is my favorite Halloween T-shirt! Not gory or evil, but beautifully creepy which is my style. :-) A large candelabra with spiders and spider webs.

 

Jacket:

Mossissue

Size L

RN# 17730

Made in Bangladesh

Modern

  By what I can gather Mossissue is made by Mossimo Supply Co. sold now only in the US by Target. Otherwise I'm not familiar with the brand. Nice comfy jacket. Been wearing it a lot lately in the northern Fall weather. I am surprised how warn denim can be!

 

Pants:

Faded Glory Quality Goods

Size 10P

Made in Bangladesh

RN# 52469

   These pants are comfy but too BIG! I need to fix these! I hate wearing belts unless they are some fancy cool thing that is more for looks!

 

Hat:

Bongo

Size OSFM (One Size Fits Most)

Made in China

   Smooth Criminal… yeah, gotta Michael Jackson theme going on here for sure!

 

    Got this hat on clearance at K-mart +Kmart . I’m a hat wearing type of girl. Love it in the north that you have an excuse to wear a hat for warmth. I’ve been a hat fan as long as I can remember.

As for "One Size Fit Most" if this hat were any smaller it would not fit my head.

 

Makeup:

NYC Liquid Lip Shine 554U Sungold Pink
Avon Glaze wear Liquid Lip Color G322 "Coral Beat"

    Day off = little makeup ;-) Just some lip gloss fun. The main coat is this unique almost metallic Pink from New York Color. I’ve had this gloss for years. I doubt they sell it anymore. I did a Google search for it and looks like you can pick it up on E-bay if it's worth over $10 a tube to you. It has lacquer type feel. For a two tone effect I have been seeing lately I put Avon’s "Coral Beat" in the insides of my lips.

    Avon changed their formula for Glazewear quite a while ago. This is the old formula I got a hold of when I sold Avon. I have to agree the old formula was better then what they replaced it with. It’s more moisturizing and thicker.

 

Hair:

 

   Braids! No, I wasn't going for the Adam’s Family look. This is just an easy way to wear my hair to keep it contained.

 

Jewelry:

Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern Bracelet

    This is really my mom’s but I wanted to share it with you all. It isn’t marked with a brand but it’s well made. Came from the Phillipsburg Manor Rockefeller estate gift shop where I work in Sleepy Hollow during the Halloween season.

____________
   Now as promised... Michael Jackson's "Ghosts" ... enjoy :-)

Casual Biz

  My work requires a bit of travel at times. These were taken at a park not far from my work on the first day I arrived after the long  road trip there. I work as an actor so I can wear whatever I want to get there in and my costumes are supplied for me. But here I was headed to a meeting to get briefed on stuff and get my contract set.

T-shirt:

• DANCESKIN NOW

     Size M (8/10)
     RN#123187
    Made in Salvador
    Modern

  I got several of these Danceskin T-shirts a while back on a clearance sale and have never worn them. Decided to pull them out for the fall! A number of my everyday clothes are starting to go beyond their prime in life. Fade the old ones out and throw some new ones in…

  I love these due to their tie to dance. I love dance! This shirt has the Danceskin logo with the title “MOVE” in big letters.

  Shirt is made from 100% Organic Cotton.

Pants:

Faded Glory Quality Goods
    Size 10A
    RN#78096
    Made in China
    Modern

  Here we go with the sizing again… this is the smallest size 10... it’s more like a 6. Why can’t these companies get together and decide on a standardized size chart?!

  Anyway, these are really pretty with black and clear rhinestones on the pockets. Didn’t get a good shot of the back of them… will have to include that later when I wear them again.

Belt:

Unknown
    Vintage

  We bought this belt thinking it was made for someone who was just really large and thought we would just cut it down to fit. I later realized you are suppose to wrap it around twice!

  It’s a thin white leather type (man-made, I believe) belt studded with round multi colored rhinestones. I’m pretty sure this is from at least the 1990’s maybe early 90’s or mid/late 80’s. It has no labels.

Coat:
Hard Candy

    Size M (7-9) Juniors

   Made in China
    Modern

  Hot pink hoodie with crystal rhinestones in the shape of a diamond on one side. Made in a soft velvet fabric. You can’t really see the diamond in the picture. I tried to get it in there but it got covered by my hair.
  Hard Candy is more of a makeup line then clothes but every once in a while I will see clothing by them. This is the first piece of clothing I’ve ever bought made by Hard Candy. I like their make-up. It’s fun and glittery… (once I get over the fact it looks/sounds like a make-up brand for hookers… lol… )

Shoes:

Makeup:

  Face

• Love My Face 250 Light Cover Stick by Rari Cosmetics LTD, Easton CT
• New York Color N.Y.C. 782A Medium Division of Del Laboratories Inc.
• Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder 150 Creamy Beige
• L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-blendable MakeupWarm SPF 17 Sunscreen Oil Free Porcelain W1
• ELF Eyes, Lips, Face HD Blush #83231 "Headliner"

  I found this True Match by L'Oreal at a crazy cheap price and appeared to be close to my skin tone. Well, really I found two shades and bought both but I used Porcelain W1 here. These are not something I would buy to try at full price but the clearance price I found it at was cheap enough to give it a shot!
  L'Oreal True Match is pretty good! IF… you have the right skin for it. The trouble I have with it is my skin can be quite dry in spots and this stuff goes on to a powder finish which makes the dry spots really show up as flaky. If your face tends to be oily this might be a better match but I do like the feel and how it goes on. This time I used it for the first time in a while and I managed to make it look really good so maybe I can use this if I find a way it works best on me.
 Use the cover sticks as needed.
  I used my blush first this time and blended the foundation and powder into it. This creates a more subtle natural look. (Kind of a peek through effect.) The true match comes next. I then used a darker shade of powder that I normally wear and used it in a more bronzing way then as a powder.

  Lips:

• Megaslick Wet n Wild Balm Stain Moisterizing LipColor 125 “Red-dy or Not” by Markwins
• N.Y.C. New York Color 308 “Retro Red”

  First I put on the Balm Stain. I like to do this in case the lip stick comes off there is a more permanent color underneath so you don’t have to worry so much with reapplying your lip color. “Red-dy or Not” and “Retro Red are very similar in color. “Red-dy” looks just a touch darker then “Retro”
  As for “Moisturizing”… don’t get your hopes up. It works good as a stain but I have not found it very moisturizing.
  “Retro Red” goes on top of the stain. I bought this color because I was in a show and needed a really red color. And since it was a show and I wasn’t making big bucks for it I went with a cheap tube of New York Color. Again let me say, price does not always tell you how good a makeup will be. It probably was around a $1 or two but it’s a good simple tube of lipstick!

Eyes Brows:

• Avon Soft Black B01 Ultra Luxury Brow Liner

  I’ve been using Hard Candy Black eye shadow for my brow but this time went and used my Avon Eye liner. I use to always use the Avon. They eye shadow was something new I tried that I liked the effect of.

Eyes:

• ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil Black Bandit #7609
• Revlon Cheek Glaze “Glow”
• Added Extras LLC (only label on it)

  This is the first time I have tried ELF Eyeliner. Found a set of 5 colors in Target. Results is pretty good. The only eyeliner pencil I have ever gotten to work was Avon. I do much better with liquid liners but ELF along with Avon works. Still not the precision of a liquid but will do for basic eye lining.
  For my lids I used a cream shadow. I used the medium pink in the set. Really I don’t know anything about this brand. I found two sets of different colors and bought both. The cases open with a nice mirror inside. I didn’t pay much for it… really, I may use the mirror more than I do the actual makeup!
 In the inner corners I use Revlon Cheek Glaze “Glow”. I’ve had this stuff for years. I use to use it for stage makeup for highlights when I was still in youth theater. Same effect could be done with a white shimmer eye shadow.
  For my lids I used a cream shadow. I used the medium pink in the set. Really I don’t know anything about this brand. I found two sets of different colors and bought both. The cases open with a nice mirror inside. I didn’t pay much for it… really, I may use the mirror more than I do the actual makeup!

Accessories:

• Ballet Dancer Silver necklace
• Blue headband

   Again wearing my Ballet Dancer. (Rainy Day Sparkle) A reminder of the pain I went through taking Ballet… but I still love it and need to find a legit dance studio to start taking again!
  Blue head band, in which I don’t remember where I got it but it was in a set at a good price… I want to say it was at Target… maybe…

Evening Get-together

 I've had this group of friends in my life for over 17 years. We met here and there. We got together recently at one of the newly wed's new apartment.

 "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other GOLD!" a song I learned in elementary school.

Top:
 Saucy Girl
Size Child's Large 12/14
Made in Thailand

  This is a ribbed fabric with the neckline beaded with sequins and beads. 96% cotton 4% spandex, and yes this is a child tank top... I admit I have kids clothing in my wardrobe. If they look good, fit, and I like it then why not?! Girls stop feeling ashamed! If you wear a women's XXL + or you still can get in stuff in the kid's section, doesn't matter what anyone might say about it, hold you head up high and make the best of what you have been given!

 No Boundaries
Size: Juniors Medium 7/9
Assembled in Mexico Modern
Cut #1194502
Style #15ja148p

 I have two tops like this one. The other is red and a different print. I've had them a number of years. Back when Wall-mart sold quality clothing. This is a pretty cool design! The chiffon has a 60's style print and can be seen through. It came with a top to wear under it but I thought the beading on the tank top would look nice.

Pants:
  Faded Glory

 Again wearing my Faded Glory jeans. Thought this time I'd get a shot of the back with the fancy embroidery.

Shoes:

 These have around an inch or two heel. I've had a number of people notice them. They came from Avon but I really don't know the actual brand. They originally came with green bows. I had a blue dress I wanted to wear them with so we went out and found some children's hair bows that clips and there ya go...
 
 Makeup:

  Face

• Cover Girl +COVERGIRL  Clean 220 Creamy Natural Pressed Powder
• Milani Double Impact Blush #02 Wine & Roses

  I'm not a believer in heavy makeup. It's just my personal style to keep it simple for everyday life. Hey, some days I only throw on some lip gloss. But I know how to glam it up too when I feel like it ;-) 
Here I have a powdering of Cover Girl Clean 220 Creamy Natural.
  As for the blush. I can't find it to give more details on it. It's around here somewhere... (Never mind, found it!)
 I've had it a while but haven't used it a lot. I bought it when I was trying to find something to replace my favorite color from Maybelline that was discontinued. Here I used the lighter shade. It's a very soft pink.

Eyes

• Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara Very Black
• Black Radiance Shadow Crème (Markwins Beauty Products) "Jewel"

  Using Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara.
  As for eye shadow I used Black Radiance Shadow Crème in what I would call a vivid medium blue. It's sold under the name Jewel but I don't know if they still make this particular eye shadow. I googled it and their whole website wasn't working. (Update 11/13/2014 Black Radiance fav'd this post on Twitter and thus here is their working website!)  This brand is focused for African American women. I have a collection of these eye shadows. I like how deep the colors are and it is a cream that should dry though for some reason it didn't work very well on this day and it moved around my eyelids. Not sure what happened, maybe I should have set it with some powder.

Lips

• New York Color NYC 445 "Coralista" EXPERT LAST LIPSTICK
• L.A. Color Brilliant Shine Glitter Gloss LG820 Rosy Pink

  "Coralista" is a new color for New York Color. My mom and I ran across it earlier this year. We both agreed that we liked this one the best and got it. We had to go to a couple of stores to find it as the one we did see was damaged.
  I really like the vivid colors coming out this year in lipsticks. Colors I've really haven't seen before! It's the early 1990's all over again!!! Only this time they are matching the neon colors in makeup!
  "Coralista" is a bright coral color. It's not my favorite lipstick formula but it's not that bad, particular at the price range of $2 - $3.
  I tried to put a gloss coat of L.A. Color Brilliant Shine Glitter Gloss on top of the coral and it's didn't work to well. The NYC lipstick doesn't work well for layering. Which is partly why it's not my favorite formula.

Hitting the Runway

  While I'm VERY familiar with the stage, the runway is a little more new to me. It's just my personality to want to master everything I jump into. Modeling is more my talented cousin's world but I give it a try now and then. After all, I've played a statue for two years... basically the same as mannequin modeling... yeah, I'm pretty good at that one! Lol....

  So I auditioned recently for a fashion show. Thought I'd share my attire for the venture...
____________________

Top:
  Attention
Size M

  Such a pretty top. The upper part is a lined crop top and the lace extends below the waist. So you can see through the bottom part.

Pants:
  Faded Glory
Size 8A

  I'm not a fan of Jeans but I'm warming up to them now that they make them pretty! Spandex makes them a little more comfortable then they use to be as well. Can't see the back in this pic but they have on both pockets embroidery and rhinestones in a cross like shape. There's also a bit on the pocket watch pocket.
  I remember the day of buying these and the sizes were crazy! I went through several before finding these that fit. I have another pair of skinny jeans that are a 6. These at an 8A fit just a tad bit loser if at all then my 6's. No wonder they were on clearance! Forget going by size! Lesson in this, get the size that fits! Not the size you wish you were! There are no regulations on sizing clothes anymore. There use to be but not anymore. I wear a Vintage dress size 8 (size pre 1980) and a modern size dress range between 4 - 6.

Shoes:
  Solos by Softspots
Size 9
Made in China

  Man made gold shade leather with metal rings. Around a 4 inch heel. They were on sale and they fit. Nuf said ;-)


Makeup

  Face:

• Love My Eyes concealer stick Light
• Cover Girl +COVERGIRL Clean 220 Creamy Natural Pressed Powder
• Avon Shimmer bronzing "Shake and Go" Powder Brush Light
• Shimmer Powder Brand unknown (came in a Walmart Christmas set)

  You need to have healthy nice looking skin to go under the microscope of being a model. I have not had that for many years of my life due to gluten.
 I went simple on this cause they want to make you up. not see your idea of what crazy makeup they can give you.
  The concealer stick is for any spots that may need a touched up or brightened. Also good to use around your eyes as a base for your eye shadow.
  The pressed powder sets the concealer stick so don't put powder where you want your eye shadow because is will be pointless as that will be what sets your eye shadow.
  Again a little Avon Shimmer bronzing and Shimmer powder... but don't go crazy, you want you to be the focus.

Eyes:

• Revlon +Revlon Trends  Luxurious Color Diamond Dust 110 Starry Lust
• Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara Very Black

  Didn't want to put on much eye make-up. Went with a light coat of Revlon Diamond Dust. Did I mention I love glitter... :-) I don't think that they make these anymore. I got my hands on a number of colors in the Diamond Dust line at a store that sells over stock and discontinued items.
  Again I dawned Maybelline NY Define-a-lash. I would buy this stuff again... if they don't discontinue production on it like they did my favorite Maybelline XXL Curl Power Volume Mascara!

Eye Brow

• Hard <3 Candy Single and Loving it 517 "Night Out" eye shadow

  I use to use an Avon eyeliner to darken my eye brows but this put on with a stiff angled brush works just as well or better and I don't have to worry about having to sharpen it!

Lips

• Wet n Wild Vicious Varnish High Shine Lip Stain Fergie Line +FergieVEVO  "Ball in Vienna"

  Wanted to wear a more natural color but some how ended up with a touch of "Ball in Vienna". More of a fashion pop color (which I love) then just a natural red.

Nails

• Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel N403 Ruby Slipper

  I have a lipstick that matches this color... I wanted to wear it... I couldn't find it!!! Grr...
  Avon nail polish is not bad. Not the best I have used but not the worst. This color is not as glossy as I think it could be. It's a little flat when it comes to depth but a nice color and a gloss finish coat might fix the flat look... but I was in a hurry. Avon is nice cause it's easy to apply and dries pretty quickly. It's lasting time varies. May have something to do with how I applied it. I'm just not big on nail polish but use it to look polished or to protect my nail when I'm working with wire. (I'm a jewelry and costume designer) That can do a number on your nails!

Jewelry

• Belt Loop Dangles

Anyway I can make blue jeans girly! I don't remember the brand. Fun piece! Clips to your belt loops with three brightly colored feathers hanging by faux leather along with some other dangles by chains.

Dress:

 This was the first time I have worn this dress. What I love about it is the sheer layer on top in a soft flowing 100% silk. Lining is 100% polyester.
The quality of this dress is amazing for It's price range of around $50 retail.

 Modern

 These are heels from Walmart... what can I say... but you can get some cool heels a Walmart! I've worn them a few times already and they are pretty comfortable! All man made material I'm sure. They are around 4inches high.


Makeup:

Eyes

• Love My Eyes concealer stick (not pictured)
• ELF +e.l.f. Cosmetics  Brightening Eye Color Neutrals 1854 (Top right color)
• Maybelline NY +Maybelline New York (Landmark North)  Eye Studio 15 Forest Fury (lower right green)
• Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara Very Black

Concealer is used as a foundation for the shadow. Elf shadow covers eyelid and above eye crease. The Maybelline green is placed within the crease and winged out a little with brush. It is blinded into the brown so not to be to harsh of a look.
 Eyelashes have a couple of coats of Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara Very Black. I like this mascara. I got it in a set of mascaras and really just started using it cause the one I bought the set for I have about ran out of. I can take a bath with this on my eyes. Wash my face and it's clings like I don't know what! And I have very sensitive eye's and Maybelline NY is the only brand I use since I everything else I've tried burns them so bad!

Eye Brow

• Hard <3 Candy Single and Loving it 517 "Night Out" eye shadow

Using a shadow brush lightly (and I mean LIGHTLY) brush into eyebrow to make them darker. Don't, PLEASE don't go to far with it or it will not look good. Sorry, I'm just a fan of natural eyebrows...

Skin

• Avon Shimmer bronzing "Shake and Go" Powder Brush Light
• ELF HD Blush "Headliner" *83231
• Shimmer Powder Brand unknown (came in a Walmart Christmas set)

  Since my skin is in rather good shape and the weather is so hot outside all I put on as foundation was some brushes with Avon's "Shake and Go" Powder Brush. As for blush, I found that ELF had the color Blush that I could not find anywhere anymore! This is the most natural blush color for me and I use to buy it in another brand until they stopped making it. I then found a limited edition Revlon Blush that was the same but it was a limited edition color!!! This was pretty annoying. When Walmart started selling ELF I saw the blush and put some on my hand and wow, this stuff was good! A little goes a long way and the stuff is in the $2/$3 range! Elf is a great brand and hey, if you find you hate it for some reason your only losing a few dollars. That's more to say for other brands that would sell this product for way more!
  As for the Shimmer Powder. I like glitter so I throw a little on the shoulders and neck for fun.

Lips:

• Megaslicks  Wet n Wild Balm Stain Moisturizing Lip Color 125 "Red-dy or Not"
• Avon Ultra Rich 24K Gold Lipstick K503 Chocolate Gold

  First I put a thin coat of Wet n Wild Megaslick on my lips. To be honest this stuff is not very moisturizing but it is one of my most used lipstick due to how long lasting it is. I will put this on as a base coat and put another color over it which in this case was Avon's Chocolate Gold. I've had this a while and it's not a color I use a lot of but it looks good when I'm wearing something the color compliments. There is real 24K in this stuff. I read people complaining about it clumping... not much of an issue to me. I don't sell Avon anymore but I still use and recommend their products. Just so you know I nor anyone I know is making anything on my recommending Avon. Honestly they have good products.

Scent

• Paris Hilton +Paris Hilton  for Women

So you can't smell me online... haha, what a thought. But this is one of my favorite perfumes. My cousin upon getting a whiff of me one day wearing it said I smelled like roses. I guess it does have a sent of roses with a fruity blind. Two things I like the smell of, roses and fruit. I've read a lot of people online don't like it very much. Actually my mom likes the knockoff better then the real thing! But I own a bottle of the real stuff and I prefer it but the knock off isn't bad. It's kind of the reason I wanted a bottle of the real thing!

Jewlery

• Vintage Cameo

  I have wanted a real cameo for a long time. This was my grandmother's sister's cameo I got after she died.

Hair

• Faded Glory Heart Snap clips

  Pretty simple. Brushed to the side and two pale purple snap clips holding the hair back on one side.
