Best Drugstore Foundation♥


Clean by COVERGIRL~oil control

This foundation comes in a variety of  shades and skin types. This one specifically is the foundation I use on an everyday basis. This comes in oil control which is great for oily and acne prone skin, and is oil free. It also comes in normal skin and sensitive skin. I found that the foundation blends evenly into the neck and matches many skin shades. Has a medium coverage but once set with a good pressed powder your skin will be at full coverage. They have matching powders to these foundations. Found at many drugstores for $6-$7.

Clean Finish by RIMMEL London

This foundation costs only $3-$4. Comparatively and considering the price this is my second pick it does have a fuller coverage, however it can dry fastly onto the skin which makes it harder to blend. Also I have a fair and light skin tone which this foundation can make light skin turn a little orange. I recommend getting the lightest shade of pressed powder available in any brand and setting the foundation bringing your natural skin tone back. This also has no harsh oils/ingredients and does contain vitamins which benefit the skin. Great when just starting out with makeup.

Favorite Low Cost Perfumes♥

Favorite Low Cost Perfumes
Top 5 low cost perfumes

  1. PINK~Warm & Cozy by Victoria's Secret The small bottle 2.5 fl oz cost $8.00 the big bottle 8.4 fl oz cost $15.00. This perfume is my all time favorite perfume! It smells so good, and just like the name is really makes you feel warm and cozy(: It reminds me of vanilla mixed with a fruity scent, I have had people say I smelt like cotton candy and they meant it a good way, I agree it does remind me of cotton candy.If you are looking for a rich and flirty perfume this is the one for you!
  2. Simply Gorgeous~Victoria's Secret The smallest bottle 2.5 fl oz cost $15.00 however I got it on sale for only $4.75. This is more a mature smell, yet very flirty, and musky yet feminine. I really enjoy this smell for a dressy dinner.
  3. PINK~ Sunny & Happy by Victoria's Secret The small bottle 2.5 fl oz cost $8.00 the big bottle 8.4 fl oz cost $15.00. This perfume is very flirty,fruity,bright,and delicious. If you are looking for a great new summer scent this is perfect for you(: 
  4. Vanilla Bean Noel~Bath and Body Works. The small travel size bottle 3 fl oz costs $5.00 the big bottle 8 fl oz costs $12.00. This is such a great vanilla scent,great for the holidays but the only bad thing is that the Holiday season is the only time this perfume is available at BBW though it is a holiday scent you will probably want to only wear it then. If your like me though I like to wear some vanilla in the summer, spring, winter, and fall! I love all vanilla perfumes. So a great alternative is getting my favorite perfume available all year around, PINK Warm & Cozy.^
  5. Cocoa butter kiss~Secret Scent Expressions. Available at any local grocery store. The only size available is 3 fl oz and costs between $3-$4. Lastly this scent is very appropriate for any summertime occasion. Such a tropical vibe is released through this perfume with the smells of coconut and other delicious fruit. This perfume has a very fresh and relaxing smell, like paradise. Also there is a matching deodorant available!(;

Living the Paris Dream With My Old Fashioned Luggage

Old Fashioned Luggage
Ever fantasized of  going to Paris? Me too. I always imagine all the cafes, the Eiffel tower, Notre Dame, the old clothing and hats back in the 20's, and the old fashioned luggage. Very cliche'. Well this weekend I went antique shopping and found the perfect suitcase for traveling to Paris someday. Hopefully  once I graduate High School I will  be able to go. I have 5 years to save! I am saving every penny, literally. Anyways back on topic. I found this luggage and compared to the other luggage I have been finding this was dirt cheap, my suitcase was only $14 dollars and in great condition compared to the other suitcases which were around $30 or more. Better yet the luggage came with a pair of keys, that were in their original envelope. Once I bought the suit case and tested out the keys...they worked! I can't wait to go to Paris sometime in the  future. For now I can fantasize and use my luggage when I travel like I'm traveling to Paris, France.♥

First post ever...cute recycled DIY project

                                 Bobby pin DIY holder

Ever losing all those bobby pins,barrettes,or hair ties? Well pull out some old baby food jars and start decorating! With this DIY project all you will need is a baby food jar with lid, letter stickers, a tag, and any other stickers or designs of your choice. If you don't have a baby food jar you can go buy a couple at your local grocery store next time you are there for a low cost or you can use an old/new mason pickle jar! Its that easy. Make sure your jar is clean first! You don't want baby food in your bobby pins or hair ties! Haha. Then taking your letter stickers place them on the jar spelling whatever you put in the jar, being bobby pins isn't the shortest word I just put pins on the outside of the jar. I used very cute stickers found at michaels, use any you can find! Then taking a tag I had, you can make your own by tying yarn and paper together then tie that around the glass ridge below the lid. Place a cute sticker on the tag. Place whatever you want to display and store in the jar, and waallaaa! You now have a cute holder for bobby pins, paperclips, buttons, hair ties, etc! Make other display/storage jars for the rest of your accessories and place them all side by side for a really cute display. These also make for cute gifts if you fill them with candy and more. Thanks for reading fellow bloggers! Stay tuned till next time(:
