My New Year's Resolutions for 2012

Happy Last Day of 2011! (a.k.a new years eve!) 

Today I wanted to to my new year's resolutions and hopefully I will be able to stick to them!

1. Workout 3 times a week: I need to start working out on a regular basis! I have just been randomly doing workouts but starting tomorrow I am going to workout every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I might start up a workout series again :) 

2. Blog every other day: I am going to try my best to blog every other day! 

3. Get my G1: I hope I can get it this week, but I have been putting it off for a long time and I want to have it done and maybe have my G2 by the end of the year!

4. Don't procrastinate: I tend to procrastinate a lot! With school work (especially studying), cleaning my room, ect. 

5. To do the splits: I have been wanting to do the splits for such a long time! I am going the stretch everyday and hopefully I can by the end of the year!

6. No regrets: I don't want to think in the past anymore, and not worry about it. You only live your life once! :)
7. Go to a concert: This is something I want to do this year rather than a resolution. It is crazy how I have never been to a concert! I have been to small ones like Lights and some older bands but I have never been to big concert with thousands of people. The main person I want to see in concert is Justin Bieber, I really hope he has one near me this year!! :D 

 Those are my new year's resolutions! I hope you have a great new year's eve and talk to you next year ;)

What are you're new year's resolutions? 

Look What I Got In The Mail! :D

Hey Everyone! 

So, a few weeks ago I entered HerLateNightCravings's tokidoki giveaway! I ended up winning and I was super excited/shocked that I actually won something! Today it came in the mail and it felt like Christmas all over again! Haha :) So here is what I got:

And a closer look at the eye shadows... 

I am just going to go through each thing staring with the little eye shadow pallets, then the larger eye shadow pallet then the rollerballs :) 

Lion Pappa

This is my favourite out of the three quads. It is the tan coloured one on the left. The characters on it are so cute! For eye shadows you get a light brown, medium brown, dark brown and a gold. These colours are so pretty for an everyday look! And the blush is a peach colour. Overall I think I am going to be using this pallet A LOT! :) 

24 Karat 

This is the pallet in the middle (it is black). It also has aborable characters (like a little unicorn) and the colours in this are gorgeous! There is a white, blue, black, and silver. They are all really shimmery. The blush is really cute too it is a pink colour. 

Vegas

This is a really fun palette! It is the purple one farthest to the right. The packaging is just like Vegas, cards, dice, slot machine, really fun! :) The eye shadows inside are white, silver (but not as intense as the 24 Karat palette), dark purple and a light purple. The blush is a light pink colour. I really like these eye shadows, they are so pretty! <3

24 Karat Skate Deck Palette

This palette is so cool! I love how it looks like a skate board! They have a bunch of the characters on the front and it comes with a cute little key chain! How adorable? I am going to quickly go through the colours: 

Unicorno - White

Stella - Silver

Ametista - Light purple

Cuore - A very light pink, almost white

Duna - Light brown

Sabbia - Tan

Goccia - A dark blue (really pretty!)

Adios Star - Black

Tempesta: Dark purple

Granata: Green (a lot like a military green)

Camo: Dark brown 

24 Karat: Gold

All of  these shadows are highly pigmented and so pretty! I am really excited to start creating looks with all of them!! :D 

Rollerball Set

This is a perfume set with 6 different scents. They are small so you can take them anywhere you want to go and they have a different character on each one which is so cute! 

I just want to say thank-you to herlatenightcravings! I am grateful for everything I got and I love it all and I can't wait to start using them!! <333 So thanks again!! And if you don't follow their blog make sure you go check it out! It is really amazing :D 

That's all for today! I hope you have a great morning/afternoon/evening and I will talk to you later! :) 

P.S if your interested in tokidoki they sell it at Sephora :) and sorry the pictures aren't the best quality, I had to use my phone! 

My Top Lip Products of 2011

2011 is is coming to a close, so I thought it would be fun to do my top beauty products of 2011 starting with lips!

Lipstick

MAC Lustre Marquise D': I talk about this lipstick a lot in my blog posts. It is from the wonder woman collection so sadly it might not be available anymore. It is a nude pink colour and I find that is a great for everyday wear. 

Revlon Lip Butters: I like all of the lip butters in general. I have berry smoothie but I really want to go and buy more! They are really creamy and hydrating and highly pigmented. I defiantly recommend checking them out if you haven't already! 

Maybelline Coloursensational: I am not sure that this is the name but it came out for a limited time only in the summer and it is a transparent lipstick. They basically tint your lips and it looks like you just ate a Popsicle. The colour I got is pink lollipop and it smells like candy :) YUM

MAC Sheen Supreme: The colour I got in this is Quite The Thing. I just got this for Christmas so I have only worn it a few times but I am in love with the colour! It is a fuschia and has a bit more purple than pink to it. It looks really dark in the tube but goes on a lot lighter. I am not one to venture out and get bight lipsticks (like red or purple) but I am starting to and I really like this one! 

Lip Gloss 

MAC Dazzleglass: The colour I have in this is baby sparks. This is my all time favourite gloss. It is pink and very glittery, I find that it looks really pretty! I also really like the applicator and how it is a brush instead of a wand. 

Rimmel London Vinyl Gloss: This is a lot like the dazzleglass. My favourite colour is lovebug. To be honest at the store when I saw it I got it because I thought the name was adorable! The colour turned out to be good, in the tube it is a light pink but on it is clear. 

Loreal Paris le Gloss: This also came out in the summer and it has really cute packaging. It was actually in my September favourites. The colour I have is Golden Splash and it is a pink-orange colour. It also smells like cupcakes <333

Lip Balms: I got obsessed with lip balms over the summer, all of them. Lip smacker, EOS, Blistex, ect. So, I would say that all of them are my favourites!  One in particular though is Maybelline's Baby Lips. I got the clear kind but omg! It smells so good and it makes my lips really soft! If you have chapped lips I definitely recommend it! :) 

Those are my top lip products of 2011! I am really excited to see what 2012 has to offer! 

What was your favourite lip product of 2011?

Let's Talk: Feather Extensions!

I thought a good topic to cover would be feather extensions. They have been really popular since the summer and still are. I see tons of people at my school with them, also celebrities (like Aria from Pretty Little Liars and Ke$ha). I have had mine for four months and I am going to get them switched sometime this break. I think I can answer some questions you might have about them so I will divide this into topics. My personal experience with them, questions (I got a few from yahoo answers), and just general thoughts :) 

Personal Experience 

I got mine back in the beginning of Semptember and I have to say I like them a lot. You can go swimming with them, wash your hair, curl/straighten them, get your hair cut, basically anything you can do with your hair. I have medium brown hair and the feather colours I choose were white and black, yellow-orange and black, and just a pure black also they are thin not thick (I don't really like the thick ones). I also put them behind my ear. I didn't know what they would look like at first so I wanted to keep it safe, no crazy colours (like pink or blue). After I got them put in I defiantly regretted not getting a fun colour, but I will this time! I think I am going to get a purple. They take less than 5 minutes to put in (I think they do them at any hair salon) and it is just a clamp so you can get them removed whenever you want :)

Questions 

I got these questions from yahoo answers, so let's answer them!  :) 

How much are feather extensions?

I got mine for $10 a feather and I live in Canada, so I think they should generally be around that price. 

How long do feather extensions stay in? 

They can stay in for as long as you want. Again, I have had mine for about 4 months. I am just replacing them because your hair obviously grows and right now they are the same length as my hair and I don't want them being longer. I actually might see in keeping a couple of mine and adding one more :) So they last for a long time. 

How can you shower with feather extensions so they don't get ruined, and how do you care for them? 

You basically forget they are there. I wash and care for mine the same as I care for my hair, I don't do anything special. The one thing you might want to watch out for it brushing them. Sometimes (where the clamp is) the brush will catch it and pull. That had only happened to me a few times but still something you don't want happening. If they do get ruined I would go to the salon and get them fixed/re-done! 

Are they real feathers?

You can get feather extensions that are from real feathers. Personally, I don't know if I would want to get real feathers in my hair and what they do to the birds is sad :( I got synthetic feather extensions and that means that they are fake feathers.  

Anyways, I hope this was helpful to some of you and I will talk to you later!! <3
