Bearpaw Ankle Booties

So my mom bought these for me back in like the 7th grade when I was in such an Ugg phase, but she just really didn't want to spend $120 on shoes. These were only like $60, but trust me, it is so not worth it. Honestly just save your money until you can afford an actual pair of Uggs. 50 pairs of fuggs doesn't compare.

Pros: These are obviously cheaper than Uggs.

Cons: I don't know if this happens with actual black Uggs, but these shoes get dirty SO easily. The fur on the inside isn't as fluffy as Uggs, and it leaves my socks/ankles with black stains. The opening is hard to get your foot into, you really have to tug.

They come in many other styles/colors, so maybe those are actually worth checking out, but don't waste your money on the Ankle Booties.

My Perect Imperfections



I saw this tag going around YouTube and I really wanted to do it myself. Be sure to tell me yours in the comments below :)

Imperfections:
-My skin
I've struggled with acne since I was in the 5th grade, and I've also been prone to pick at it. So I have a lot of discoloration on my face that makes me self conscious when I don't wear coverup.






 -My teeth
Okay I don't have hideously deformed teeth where you can clearly tell that person has never had braces, but they are a little crooked on the top. Luckily that's something 6 months with Invisalign would fix.


-My butt 
UGH I always hear girls bitching about how BIG their butt is. I have the exact opposite problem; mine is too small. It's so hard for me to keep my pants up without a belt because they honestly just slide right off my backside. I could gain 50 pounds and about 2 of those would go to my butt.



Perfections:

-My eye color
I LOVE having brown eyes. They're the perfect shade, not so dark they look black, and not so light that they look like baby poop.
-My feet
I'm one of those people who gets really grossed out by feet, but I think mine are really nice. I don't have that weird thing where your second toe is longer than your big toe, and they're just really good looking feet in my opinion.











-My collar bone
Collar bones in general are just something I think are super attractive on anybody, as weird as that sounds. I'm even considering getting mine pierced for Christmas :).

Tips to buy Trendy Womens Coats - Trench coats

Women’s coats are constantly in fashion, mostly during the cold season because it is during this time that all women wear coats. A trench coat is one type of coat that you should get for yourself if you want to look fashionable because it can make you looking sexy and stylish. The women’s coats (trench coats) are available in different colors, styles and prices. So if you are looking for a good coat, you need to have enough time with you because looking for a perfect trench coat can take a while.

Trench coats are in different styles, like I have just mentioned above and in order to get the perfect one, you need to know what you are looking for in a coat. Do you have a special design in mind? Then what about the material of the coat? Do you have any particular material in mind? These are some of the questions that you should ask yourself before you start looking for the women’s coats.

Budget is also very essential when it comes to buying women’s coats. Do you have a budget? Or do you have unconstrained budget? The prices of the trench coats can vary according to the brands and also the materials. So if you have a specific price range in mind, ask the sales person to show you the coats that comes under your budget. If you do not like any one of the women’s coats that you have seen then you can always try another store. If you have an unlimited budget then you simply have to shop till you find the right trench coat for yourself.

When you visit the shopping mall or the stores that sells women’s coats, you will be surprised by the collection of trench coats that they have with them. Try them on and see which ones you like the most. You have to make clear that you buy the right size. It should not be too big and neither should it be too small.

There is a reason why many women choose to buy trench coats when they are looking for women’s coats and the reason is because the trench coats can give them a very classy look. They can make you look stylish and with a great trench coat, you can bring out the best in yourself.

Wet n Wild Megaslicks Lip Gloss


I bought this about 4 years ago before my moms wedding, in the color "562B Cherry Glaze" because I thought it would be a little like liquid lipstick and come out bright red like it looks in the tube. I found this in the back of my lip drawer yesterday and absolutely fell back in love with it!

Pros: This lip gloss is exactly like liquid Chapstick brand cherry chapstick, from the smell and the color it gives. You get a nice little touch of red to your lips, nothing too heavy. It doesn't feel sticky or anything, just smooth and glossy.

Cons: The packaging is a little gross, all the glitter letters come off and leave your hands messy. This doesn't last very long on my lips and I find myself applying it a lot throughout the day. There's also no SPF in this gloss.

I probably won't repurchase this just because I think I have better lip products, but if you're looking for a cheap gloss with a little wash of color, this is your product (or if you're a huge cherry chapstick person).

EOS Lip Balm In Summer Fruit


Haha so I actually begged my mom to buy me a new EOS Lip Balm after I lost mine last week (I'm hoping it just fell out in my dad's car...). Since I've already had the Lemon Drop one, I thought I'd get the Summer Fruit since it's sold out on the EOS website. I was expecting it to be pretty similar to the other flavor, but there actually quite different.


Pros: Obviously the egg packaging is still the coolest thing around.

Cons: This flavor is a different texture than the Lemon Drop, it's more of a gel and Lemon Drop is thicker/creamier. I don't know if that has anything to do with this, but Summer Fruit doesn't moisturize my lips as well as Lemon Drop. It also smells a little artificial? I was expecting fresh fruit, but it's more of a manufactured scent. It also doesn't taste as good if you get a little in your mouth. There's no SPF in this flavor either.

Although I don't like this flavor, I definitely recommend checking out EOS Lip Balms.

40 Beauty Questions



SKINCARE

-How many times do you wash your face daily?
Always in the morning (or afternoon on weekends), and before I go to bed. Sometimes when I get home from school, if I'm not feeling too lazy.

-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Okay so I used to have wicked dry skin before I started going to a dermatologist. I'm talking like legit peeling off dry skin. But I started seeing my derm in March, and since then he's had me on some cream and antibiotics that make my skin really oily. He swears it's just because of hormones, but that's what anyone over 35 says about teenagers.

-What is your current facial wash?
I recently ran out of my Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, so I've been using this big tub of CareOne cleansing skin cream that I bought like 4 years ago. And this is like the BIGGEST tub of facial wash, it would last me forever. But it has menthol in it for some reason and irritates my skin, so I've just been using my Clean & Clear Morning Burst Cleanser day and night. It smells like soap by the way, not citrus.

-Do you exfoliate?
Nope, I don't see a need for it.

-What brand do you use?
Nada.

-What moisturizer do you use?
Cetaphil Ultra Hydrating Lotion at night, and Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF  15 in the morning.

-Do you have freckles?
You would think I'd have more since my mom has a tsunami of freckles, but nope just a couple. One is above my right eyebrow and a couple are on my arms and thighs.

-Do you use eye cream?
Sometimes I put Bio Oil around my eyes, but it's not a nightly thing.

-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Yes I do, and I have since about 5th grade.

-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
UGH, yes. Worst products ever. They dry your skin out, cost an arm and a leg, bleach your towels (yeah my mom was pissed about that one), and makes your face hurt. Like actually hurt to the touch after use.

MAKE-UP

-What foundation do you use?
I just use a light layer of Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, which isn't actually matte by the way.

-How about concealer?
Cargo OneBase Concealer + Foundation

-Do you know your undertone color?
I actually have no idea, I think yellow if that's an option? Just because my skin can look orange very easily.

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
Eh, unnecessary. Plus my mom told me of a story where someone lost their sight because of the glue. I don't know if I believe that, but why chance it.

-Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months?
I do know that, but I don't think it's necessary to change it that often. I keep mascara for months, even years at a time and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. But whatever, if you're concerned about it, change it every 3 months.
-What brand of mascara do you use?
I mostly use my Maybelline Lash Stiletto just because I don't want to purchase a new one at the moment, or my Sephora clear mascara.

-Sephora or MAC?
Just because I don't own any MAC products, Sephora.

-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
Nope.

-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Mostly my fingers, whatever applicators come with products, and my kabuki brush.

-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
I sometimes put my concealer on my eyes to prime them.

-For the face?
Nope.

-What is your favorite eyeshadow?
I don't really have a specific favorite eyeshadow, but I do like CoverGirl eyeshadows.

-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Pencil.

-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Really not that often.

-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
Messy, messy, messy.

-Do you use mineral makeup?
My mom does, and I just think it's so messy. She ends up getting it all over the sink, it's just why bother.

-What is your favorite lipstick?
I don't really wear lipstick, but my favorite that I own is a Jordana Matte bright red lipstick that I've had since I was like 5.

-How about lipgloss?
My L'oreal jelly balms.

-What is your favorite blush to use?
I don't really own any blushes I like at the moment.

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
No, I feel that's a little dirty, like you don't know what other people have done to it or if it's even real.

-Do you like drugstore makeup?
I only like drugstore mascara, chapsticks, and CoverGirl eyeshadows.

-Do you go to CCO's?
Nope.

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I've considered it, but why pay for a class when the people of YouTube teach you for free?

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Surprisingly no, I'm pretty OCD about keeping everything neat.

-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
When people accentuate everything at once. Hello, you can't have a smokey eye, heavily contoured cheeks, and a bright lip all at the same time.

-Do you like colorful shades of makeup or neutral ones?
I like any shade as long as it's matte.

-Which celebrity always has great make up?
I think the Kardashians always have great makeup, even Kris.

-If you could leave the house using just one make up item,what would you use?
Well I always leave the house without makeup, so that's not a big deal. But I would use concealer.

-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
As stated above.

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I mean yes, I think I have good features.

-In your opinion, what is the best makeup line?
Probably MAC just from all the things I've heard.

-What do you think of Makeup?
It's another great art.

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Blush


Mineral Sheers Blush is a whole new way to blush, naturally! It not only delivers the perfect amount of color every time, it's actually good for skin.

Developed by dermatologists, this lightweight powder contains pure, gentle minerals that soften and smooth skin, while the innovative all-in-one brush delivers just the right amount of color. With naturally-derived silk powder, patented Total Soy, and an exclusive multi-vitamin complex of Vitamin E, Pro-Retinol, Vitamin C and Pro-Vitamin B5, even the most sensitive skin is beautifully conditioned and toned.

In six luxurious shades, there's no better way to enjoy healthy-looking, glow-from-within color--naturally.

  • Oil-free

  • Non-irritating

  • Fragrance-free

  • Dermatologist developed

  •  
    Available in 6 Shades:
    • Illuminator
    • Precious Pink
    • Natural Apricot
    • Silky Sable
    • Rare Rose
    • Pure Plum
     
    I've never been a big fan of Neutrogena skin products just because they've never worked for me, but I thought I'd give their cosmetic line the benefit of the doubt. Now I know their skin stuff works just the same as their makeup.

    Pros: I have the color "Natural Apricot 20" and it looks really pretty in the container. The product also has no smell, which I like.

    Cons: The attached brush is absolutely terrible. After shaking the container about 40 times, product actually starts to come out. But when I went to use it, this crappy brush spewed blush all over my face. There's no way to use this without the brush since it's attached, so I'm probably just going to end up throwing it out. The colors look absolutely NOTHING like they do on the Neutrogena Website.

    Spend your money on something else, this isn't worth it.
