Merry Christmas!!

Hey darlings!! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and got to spend time with your families! I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted and more :)

Christmas here was pretty good, with the exception of not having Derek and Kadence here with me, and the 2 hour power outage. This year I couldn't part with my family for the holidays as much as it kills me to say that and same with Derek. We're still working out how in the world we can go to two different provinces with the short amount of time off we get between the two of us, and this year I had taken a bit of a vacation for two weeks since I haven't seen my family for a year :S. As for Derek he only got 4 days off and a 11 hour trip to see his family by car there and then 11 hours or so back so go to both places was too much. I hope we can celebrate our own traditions and hold a Christmas of our own one day but for now this suites me just fine! Thank goodness for webcams! I got to talk to them both and Kadence showed me all the gifts Santa got her, so it was like I didn't miss a thing.

As I mentioned before we had power outages all day today but the biggest one was for 2 hours straight. It was unexpected so tonights supper is going to a bit late. But don't fret we had baked a bunch of goodies and had tons of munchies to snack on so a late supper isn't a huge deal. Surprisingly the 2 hours of no power and lights wasn't too bad it was actually fun! We cracked jokes and sat around the kitchen table and snacked some more :P. Plenty of snacking went on today! Hey thats what Christmas is for isn't it? haha.

I hope you guys had a memorable Christmas and got to spend time with your favorite people <3

Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive & Lash Review

I'm very excited to let you all know about a very awesome new product I was lucky enough to test out! As you can probably read by the title it is Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive, plus two new types of lashes.

Check out the video for a bit of a demo and review of these bad boys!

I have to admit that I was blown away with this adhesive, I normally am not a fan of drugstore lash adhesive and find nothing compares to my DUO. I have tried several different brands and so far none have even come close, they either irritate my eyes or I find that half way through the day the corners of my lashes lift. So trust me I was a bit skeptical but still curious when I heard about Revlons version since to me DUO is a holy grail item.

Want to see the glue in action? Check out this video :)

*Note I will be using the lashes in two other tutorials so keep your eyes peeled if you want to see those :)*

I still love Duo but with Revlons Precision Lash adhesive you get the same quality but with a bit more ease. Now as a beauty lover I can tell you eyelashes aren't always the easiest to apply especially when your just starting out and can be a bit messy if your not sure of what your doing, with this brush tip applicator you can easily brush on a thin layer and not have to worry about getting glue everywhere,  also if you somehow manage to get any lift on either end of your lashes throughout the day you can always pack this in your purse with its small lip gloss packaging you can bring it with you so you don't have to worry, you can just fix any lifting at any time which is nice.

I haven't found anything that would make me stray away from this product as of yet but if I do I will be sure to let you know :)

So far Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive is a great buy and an instant favorite <3

Let me know your thoughts! Have you tried Revlon's Precision Lash Adhesive?

Lastly if your interested in a more in depth review on Revlons New Lashes let me know :)

Quick Gift Idea-Hello Kitty Flat Iron & Review

I'm super excited to share this Hello Kitty Flat Iron with you guys! I know so many people who would appreciate how cute this is! Now first off yes this was sent to me for consideration but don't worry as always I will tell you guys my honest thoughts and opinions!

First off check out the video to see just how cute this flat iron is! I also go over a few of its feature and brief review but as always I could of went on and on lol so I thought I'd save it for this blog post.

I'm sure if you like me and your a last minute shopper online might be cutting it close but if your really interested you get this and the matching Hair Dryer and Curling Iron online @ Target for $39.99 each.

Here's some direct links :)

Hello Kitty Curling Iron

My Thoughts

I can't say too much about the other styling tools since I have not tried them however I have tested out the straightner for about a week now and feel I can tell you how I feel about it without being biased.

Personally I think for $39.99 this straightner is a good deal it's super adorable and what girl doesn't think pink and Hello Kitty are awesome. I have to say though that this straightner isn't for every hair type. Although the plates are quite sturdy and the heat setting on high can get quite hot I don't think this straightner would make thick, coarse, or curly hair pin straight. I have naturally wavy hair, its a bit on the fine side and is pretty easy to style and I think it did a great job, however the ends weren't perfectly straight but good enough for me. I think if you want slick straight hair I would invest in a CHI or GHD. I do love the features to this flat iron which include swivel cord, adjustable heat settings, spring plates, and ridges for grip, most lower priced irons do not have extras like that! I think for either your first straightner or just to have in your collection or for travel this is a great buy! Plus a really cute gift idea! I honestly have put the Blow dryer on my Christmas list! I do need a new hair dryer and would love for it to match! Oh and I forgot to mention the heating time isn't too bad either, I would say about 30 seconds to heat up. Not too shabby at all.

If you do get any of the Hello Kitty styling tools I'd love to hear your thoughts and reviews :)

P.S. I am not being compensated or anything to tell you guys about this Flat Iron or being bribed in any way. As alsways these are my honest opinions and thoughts :)

Icy Blue Winter Tutorial

I couldn't help myself! I'm at my Grandparents place for a bit of a holiday and yesterday my Grandmother picked up these pretty blue and silver icicle like ornaments for her tree and I was in love. The beautiful icy ornament was the inspiration for this look and will post a picture of the ornament asap!

Also I apologize for the darn mirror being in the way! I'm trying to make the best of what I have and didn't even think to bring my larger mirror I usually film with down. That was a major fail on my behalf. However I will try and find something else because this clearly didn't work out lol. I tried to show what I was doing after applying each product but it was pretty difficult! Hope you still get the idea :)

For this look I tried to use as much drugstore eye products as I could since I know I haven't been using them that often and its always nice to see tutorials using products that are easily accessible. Anyways hope you enjoy this look as much as I do!

Updates

Hey There!

Just thought I'd update you all :)

I decided to take a break and head home to my Grandparents place for a bit of a vacation. Times have been a bit rocky for me and finding steady work hasn't been easy. Hoping after the Holidays and a clear head will help. Plus I missed my family! Haven't been home since the Summer I think. For me that is way too long!!

Thank goodness I have Derek and you guys all to keep my mind off things! Don't worry its not the end of the world! If things were easy and just handed to us all the time we wouldn't be the people we are today. Well actually I take that back I'd be happy if things were just handed to me on a silver platter and easy as pie lol. But what can you do! As much as I would like to go to school, its just not going to happen right away (my choice). I've accepted that. I will make it happen though! Just need to focus on the little things right now. Soon enough though things will fall into place. Just taking things one step at a time :).

I didn't consider going to Grandma's place for two weeks would involve slow internet, and I should of remembered that coming here means no cell service!

Just a re-cap Grandma & Grandpa live in the middle of no where Saskatchewan. Don't ask why they live in the middle of no where my Grandma is no longer a fan of small town life but she said she won't move until she wins the lottery. She is convinced she will one day :P. Last but not least my Grandparents brought me up and they aren't as old as your regular Grandparents. Older but not retired. Love them to pieces!!

Anyways now that I'm here I have filmed 3 videos, the fourth one was a fail and I so badly want to upload!!! It kills me! However the internet keeps dropping and this mini laptop that my sister loves so dearly isn't the best. I really really wish my old lap top worked! -_- Well maybe one day I will have a Mac book pro!

Any how. I will continue to try uploading, and recording. Wish me luck! I most certainly will need it!

Love you all!

88 Metal Mania Palette-Smokey Green Eyes

This look has to be one of my new favorite going out looks. It is just so out of the ordinary for me to wear greens that it makes it more exciting and adventurous to wear. I'm pretty plain I usually go for a traditional smokey eye or a brown smokey nothing with this bright of a color especially greens! 

With this season I find jewel toned colors to be perfect for the holidays! Go ahead and wear this look and replacing the greens with maybe a deep purple or burgundy, or even a dark navy shade!

Check out the video to see a step by step guide on how I achieved this look :)
