Style Update - Waved Hair

Hello Gals! ^_^
Good news~ I have a part time job close to home! Many want to know why I quit my full time job...


I missed being able to sleep in and have a decent amount of time to get ready in the morning! With an hour commute, I was always tired and pressed for time.
Now I  am happy to get a great nights sleep and wake up refreshed and ready for the day! It makes me feel pretty and puts me in a great mood.



Recently I was able to go to work and have time to come home and get dressed for class.
Here is a close up of my makeup - I used Diamond Lash in Glamorous. My friends in class noticed and loved how dramatic these lashes are. I felt very lovely with this pair!



I can wear my favorite type of earrings. ^_^





Anyway, just an outfit post to share for now. I used my triple barrel curling iron to get the lovely waves in my hair. I will do a review on it soon to share how well it works!

Until next time, my lovelies!

Sleep over with Mina (Cherry Gal)

Recently I got together with a member of Cherry Gal for a sleep over. ^_^ We had lots of fun playing a dance game on the Wii and ordering pizza.

My favorite part was giving Mina a makeover. :D She loves Popteen and Seventeen styles, so I tried to make her look sweet and cute.

I hope I succeeded! Take a look....




I think her blush really shows up well in this picture below, even though its a funny angle.




And of course, here is a pretty close up of the makeup style I did for her.  What do you think? Did I do a pretty good job or what?! I think Mina looks so cute and pretty. ^_^



:D Makeovers and sleep overs are such fun!

Teaser photo

Just got my triple barrel hair iron in today and gave it a try!
 
It works really well! Tons of volume, and its much quicker to use than a regular curling iron.

Just wanted to post a quick photo to show off a bit. ^_^ I will make a post with some more details on the iron and what not. Just wanted to make a quick post and share with you. :D

Fresh Spring Mint

This is all pretty much stolen from LookBook.nu ^_^

I really like the fresh Spring look of this color! Although I look pretty terrible in Mint, I still love the color especially for accessories.

update your nails!

Updating your nails is fun and easy! You can do it at home with polish you already own, and jewels and charms that can be bought online (my fav is FullMoon Deco) or at a craft store like Michael's.







I started off with my nails at basic color, then added a top coat of Essie shattered pink diamond glitz. I finished by using a small drop of super glue to add a silver metal star stud.

Here are the polishes I used:

In a New York Color Minute - Manhattan
(248)
In a New York Color Minute - Park Ave
(246) 


Essie - shattered pink diamond glitz

Anytime you want to update your nails, don't waste money going to the salon often. Just look at what you have! Common household items (like toothpicks, hole reinforcements for binder paper, stamps) can be used to make nail designs if you're feeling creative. ^_^

Messina Hof and Nails

Here is a quick pic of some adult style nails I tried out. Very plain from what I usually do, but I felt pretty in the setting I was in. For a couple of days at the beginning of Spring Break, I spent a couple of days and nights at Messina Hof winery B&B.

I used a slate gray and a dark wine color for these nails


Here is a picture of the room we stayed in called the Venus room. It was quite lovely! All the furniture is antique and absolutely beautiful. Our room has a balcony overlooking the side of the forest. The bathroom had a large relaxing hot bath and a separate shower. It was wonderful!



The outside of the villa has a huge rose and herb garden. Walking by is so fragrant and relaxing! The wine sure helped my mood too. ;)  I didn't want the trip to be over, but I feel recharged after such a relaxing trip.

My Favorite DECO phone apps - Part 2 SNAPEEE

Here is a mini review and example of my second choice of a really good, and free, puri app for android and iphone.

# 2 - DecoPic on android and iphone

This is a kawaii photo deco app that you can take pics with, deco, and then upload to various sites like twitter and facebook.

Pros!
Snapeee has frames, stamps, pen function, text function, and lots of cute stuff to add! It posts to social media sites well, and saves your photos on your phone for you for access later. :) Its free, and there is a mini community within the app itself! You can browse other users photos and follow them. Its a lot of fun!

Cons!
It has lots of options, but not as much as other photo editing apps. The options are well rounded, so it works well for me. I could see someone who posts several photos a day getting bored maybe? They come out with new stuff occasionally though. Also, you can't share directly with your own contacts straight from the app. :(












Here are a couple of pics I played with and uploaded to G+

My favorite part about this app is being able to follow other users and seeing what they post. ^_^ I hope this review was helpful, and remember that this is a free app! :D
