Let's go Giants! Let's Go!
Hello pretty ladies!
Yesterday night, I was bored reading my latest issue of Cosmo when I suddenly got a bright idea. Why not put together a look for my blog? Considering tomorrow is the long awaited Super Bowl, I decided that in honor of my team the NY Giants, I'd put together a look inspired by them.
Ha! Who are we kidding? I just needed an excuse to put on some makeup.

Small collective Haul & FOTD
Hello my lovely readers,
These past few days I've gone to the drugstore and always managed to leave with something! Today I stopped by the discount store "Lot-Less" and did a few little purchases there as well. I've decided to be more budget-friendly when it comes to cosmetics--even though I always have been. Five dollars or less is the mind-set I've kept so far.
So I recently bought a Wet n' Wild's single eyeshadow from their ColorIcon collection called "Penny/Sou neuf". It has caught my attention many times and I finally caved in. It was only $1.99 so it's not like I broke my wallet. I also purchased one of their blushes from the ColorIcon collection in "Mellow Wine" and I must say, it's lovely on my cheeks. Price?-- $4.99!
Today's FOTD featured these two products. Whenever I haul a beauty product, I always use it a day after. I get so excited when I buy new products. What girl doesn't? Haha.
Used: Wet n' Wild ColorIcon Eyeshadow "Penny/Sou neuf" ELF Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette NYX Trio in "Team Spirit" As blush I used Wet n' Wild's "Mellow Wine" On my lips I have my NYX Lip Lacquer in "Coral-Licious"
Today I hauled a bit at my local discount store (Lot-Less) and at Duane Reade. Just a few things, just a few things. If there's a bargain and if it appeals to me, me likey!
I'm looking forward to using these lipsticks more often. On top of their cheap price, the pigmentation is pretty fabulous. I am, however, on the lookout for some vibrant lipsticks so when I find them, I'll be sure to buy them and show them off to you here. On a side note, ELF is having FREE SHIPPING on orders that are $25 and up. As I've mentioned in the past, ELF is a good source for those just starting out in makeup. They have all the basics: primers, concealers, foundation, powders, blushes, eyeshadows and so much more. I really do recommend you buying some of their products.

Mellow Wine
Penny/Sou neuf
Today's FOTD featured these two products. Whenever I haul a beauty product, I always use it a day after. I get so excited when I buy new products. What girl doesn't? Haha.
1. I applied Penny/Sou neuf by Wet n' Wild all over the lid.
2. I then applied the bronze brown eyeshadow from my ELF Palette into my crease.
3. To blend out the edges and soften it up--With a fluffy brush-- I used the light pinkish eyeshadow from the ELF Palette.
4. Using a pencil brush, I picked up a bit of the blue from my NYX trio and applied to the outer 2/3 of my lower lash line.
5. For highlight, I picked up the white shimmery eyeshadow from the ELF Palette.
6. I topped it all off with a winged eyeliner (Maybelline Stiletto), Mascara (Maybelline Pulse Perfection) and lined my waterline with a black eyeliner (L'Oreal Linear Intense).
Today I hauled a bit at my local discount store (Lot-Less) and at Duane Reade. Just a few things, just a few things. If there's a bargain and if it appeals to me, me likey!

Easy Hair Style, Mini Haul & More
"The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart."
Hello lovely readers. Long time no post. I've decided to do a very simple, straight to the point sort of post rather than my usual "article-like" posts I've been doing. So on with it!
Finally, I've purchased a camera! With this, I can post many things here like video tutorials and make up of the day photos. Exciting? -- Yes!
Today I went simple on the hair. It's been awhile since I've experimented with hair styles and I like how this one turned out. Best of all, it was super easy to do!
I don't have "head on" picture because my eyebrows looked redonkulous. So perhaps I'll do a video tutorial on what I did later in the future but for now, here's a little explanation:
Went to my local CVS and purchased the new Maybelline "Fit Me" Foundation. A little pricey for my taste but Revlon is much more expensive in comparison. I'm a dedicated Maybelline fan so I don't mind. I'll try it out tomorrow and hope for the best.
And that is all I have to say for today. Yeap, that's all. Short & sweet. Since I have a camera, I'll be doing random video tutorials here and there so be on the look out. Until then, good night my beauties.
With Love,
Shelly

I don't have "head on" picture because my eyebrows looked redonkulous. So perhaps I'll do a video tutorial on what I did later in the future but for now, here's a little explanation:
- First I parted my hair to the side and did a small french braid on the shortest side.
- Then with a curling iron, I curled my hair loosely, focusing mostly on the largest parted hair (as seen in the picture). Rather than curling small strands, I curled bigger pieces of hair. It didn't matter if I missed a few spots here and there, I was going for a more simple look.
- I curled a few big strands near the braid to sort of even out the whole look.
- I finished it off with some hair spray. Time: 10-15 minutes
