fall 2013 essentials

Do I need to write something here? It feels empty without a little note. The emptiness swallows me whole. ENJOY!

new video: pink hair don't care

For those of you who saw my last blog OOTD post, you'll have noticed I went a little crazy for a quick sec and dyed my hair pink. But was I going to undertake this process alone? Oh no, oh no, my friends. I filmed the entire dang thing. Because this is my United States of Whatever. Or I guess my United Province of Whatever (Canada, am I right?). Anyways hope you enjoy the video and make sure to like it because how could you not??? (easily). And subscribe!!!!!

new video: april favorites!

APRIL'S DONE GET OVER IT. If you haven't seen my favorites video, then you should probably see my favorites video. How else are you supposed to know what you like without me telling you what I like first? Seriously. Also exciting things happened after I uploaded this here video. Let me tell you these things:

1. Meghan Rosette from YOUTUBE!! (click me for her channel) commented on it! It was an exciting moment in my life. Almost up there with when Justin Nozuka touched my butt. BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.
2. Due to the fact Meghan commented, I literally gained 350+ subscribers in two days! THAT SOME ILLUMINATI SHIT.

It's stuff like that, that makes you realize how much of an impact people can have. CRAZYNESS. Like my uncle once said, "with great power, comes great responsibility." Or, someone's uncle said it. I can't remember.

I'm really taking advantage of the fact I can put my hair up into a ponytail (with the help of a bobbypin...or ten), oh how I've missed it! And with casual hair, comes a casual, laid-back outfit. Technology was not agreeing with me today, and so this grungy-90's-teen-pain look is really fitting. I've been super busy this past week, recording, planning, sleeping, you name it, so hopefully I'll have more posts and more videos on both my YouTube channels this upcoming month! I can't believe it's practically the end of April... I can taste the summer sunshine already. I burnt my tongue.

TODAY I TOTALLY PERSPIRED! Not usually something to be proud of, but it's the first time the weather has had such affects on me in what seems like 365 days! But who's counting. So in honor of this perspiration, I got super exited and threw on some knee socks, bright pink lipstick and necklaces I've had since I was four! I probably used to put them in my mouth! Awesome! I call this look "Barbie Hurl". Why? Because it's so ugly I puked? No because I channeled my inner child and cross contaminated it with my angsty teenage self! Look at how much fun I'm having in the sun with my dad. Oh you can't see him, he's the master behind the lens. He was so drunk. Get it, because he was taking so many SHOTS. Ohhhhh, sunshine induced puns. The funny thing is, I'm talking about how much I'm enjoying this weather from my dark cave of a computer room indoors.

there are things out there

I've clearly had my fill of vitamin D anyways. It's vitamin D right?

collective spring haul

maybelline color whisper and MAC review

 It's dreadfully weary out today! And while my mom is out bathing in the Jamaican sun (cool invite, Mom) I'm stuck inside avoiding the rain. So I decided to have a lazy day today and do a quick review of some lip products I've picked up recently! I've heard a lot about Maybelline's Color Whisper lip products but put off buying them for the longest time because lately if I'm choosing a lipstick color, I'll definitely lean towards a statement color because YOLO am I right?? But after buying two so far, I'll for sure be going back for more of these bad boys (WARNING: This is a positive, slightly obsessive review).

My favorite by far, though (out of two lipsticks?? how did you choose???), is Pin Up Peach! It's so soft and moisturizing on the lips and it's subtle color and shimmer practically scream spring! Get it?? Because it's on my lips which is where my mouth is which is where I talk and stuff. I think it's perfect for my skin tone and I just know it's going to be on my person 24/7. I reapplied it about 50 times throughout the day, not JUST because it needed to be, but because I loved it so much!! Although, it doesn't have the longest wear-ability it is definitely something I would recommend for this season.

Next I bought Oh La Lilac and again, it's so soft and lightweight. I like how the color is visible but not so in your face. It's definitely a cooler shade and reminds me of my Angel frost MAC lipstick, but for more than half the price! Both shades are easy to reapply and don't dry out your lips in the slightest!

My friend and makeup artist at MAC, Haley (woah awesome name kudos), ever so gracefully sent some bright lipsticks my way that she thought I would enjoy and DID I EVER. DID. I. EVER. Haley, if you're reading this, high five yourself or something.

The first one is MAC's Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Booyah!!! (enough said), and I absolutely love it! The color is a bright coral orange just like my Maybelline Electric Orange lipstick but a more matte shade, which I prefer. I don't even remember if I had to reapply it in the time I was wearing it, so I guess it stayed true to its name. I will definitely be wearing this color as my bright lip go-to this spring.

This is another Pro Longwear shade in Love Long Distance. It's a really pretty subtle pink lipcreme that I just envision myself wearing with an overall natural makeup look and a summery dress. I don't know. It just appeared in my brain. I have only swatched this one so I have yet to see if it too will live up to the longwear name, but I have no doubts. 

Lastly is, the Mattene Lipstick in Seductive Intent *dims lights*. WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAN. Can we all just take a moment. Okay. LOOK AT THIS LIPSTICK! It's beautiful. I have a couple other lipsticks in a similar color to this, but none of them are matte. It's another perfect bright lip that I'm eager to show off in places other than my room!!!! (I'm looking at you, rain). I found it did leave my lips feeling a little dry, but it's nothing a little balm or gloss can't fix.

I highly recommend all of these products for anyone in the market for some new spring colors!

spring 2013's must-have color

Here's a little original spring time poem I've written for you all, it goes a little something like this:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

These are nice colors

BUT THEY'RE NOT MINTY- GREEN- SEAFOAMY- TURQUOISE AND THAT'S THE BEST COLOR OKAY???

I don't know what it is about this color, but I just can't seem to escape it! I'm fine with it, though, because I'm slightly obsessed. I never was one to have a favorite color because how can you choose out of ALL THE HUES?????? But lately I've been seeing a trend; I've even purchased a gosh darn lipstick in the color! It's definitely the "in" color, for lack of a better phrase, this season. I'm not too sure there's an official name, as I've heard it described as "mint", "pale turquoise", "sea-foam, so I've just hyphenated them altogether in a cozy bunch. How warm and cuddly those words must be. I bet they're like best friends now, all cuddled up beside each other all the time. I'm so lonely.

Pictured: EOS balm, Aldo sunglasses, Lime Crime lipstick in Mint to Be, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet, tiny buddha (okay all of these products have the word "mint" in them so I guess this color can officially be referred to as "mint")
