the perfect place for tips, hauls, tutorials, and much, much more! ♥

I am oh so sorry about the lack of sets this month. I was meaning to do a January Favorites, but I think it's too late. :/ Oh well. At least I'm back with a tutorial I've been preparing for a while. ♥
 
// PRODUCTS I USED* ♥
*by all means don't go out and buy these products because I mentioned them. use whatever you have!
 
- e.l.f. mineral eyeshadow in celebrity [any tan color will work.]
 
- e.l.f. single eyeshadow in saddle. [any dark brown will do just fine.]
 
- e.l.f. brightening eye color in day 2 night. the highlight color. [something similar to retrospeck by mac.]
 
- neutrogena oil free moisturizer. [whatever moisturizer you use.]
 
// THE FACE
Apply your blush to the apples of your cheeks.
 
That's the tutorial! I know it's rather simple, but that's what I was going for. :) Hope you liked it!

- e.l.f. blush in peachy keen. [any light, peachy blush.]
 
// MOISTURIZE
Just take any moisturizer you have and apply that all over your face. NOT a tinted moisturizer.
 

// THE EYE
First, take your tan color and put it all over the lid.
 
Next, take your dark brown and using windshield wiper motions, apply it to your crease.
 
Now, take your highlight and place it on your brow bone.

{FYI - FYR means for your reference.}
 
Just thought I'd post one of these before I start putting up any makeup tutorials which I would like to get started next weekend.
 
Sorry for the crappy set; I'm trying to do this rather quickly because I do have homework that I need to finish and I'd like to paint my nails, all before 10.
 
Also, sorry for the lack of tips this weekend. It was really nice out today and yesterday (like in the mid 60's) which was an amazing relief from all the snow, so I was outside most of the time. Sorry about that. But I actually found some of my shorts buried in the back of my closet and I wore them today. Haha. :)
 
Hope this helps you, because I will be using some of these terms. On my tutorials I'll link this set so it'll be easier for you to find if you can't remember what something means.

I figured this would be easier to show in a collection then to type everything out with links to the products here on this set. ♥

I try to put a minimal amount of products in my hair. I just believe it's healthier and more natural that way. ♥

I was at Wal-Mart today and I'm almost out of my E.L.F. makeup remover cleansing cloths, so I was like, "I'll just try the Neutrogena ones. :)" I paid for them (they were $4.97 by the way for a pack of 25) and I brought them home. I decided to get in my pajamas and wash my face and all that jazz and I used them.
First of all, they smell HORRID. I can't even describe the smell. Like a hospital, but WORSE. It's awful. And then when I used them on my face it made my face SUPER red and it didn't hardly remove anything but eyeshadow. (like it wouldn't remove my eyeliner or mascara) This is definitely a naughty product. Don't ever buy these.

F21 is a very popular store right now. Within F21, there's Forever21 Girls, Heritage1981, Twelve by Twelve, 21Men, Love21 Contemporary, &+ Forever21+ sizes. :)
 
There are 10 basic items every girl should have from F21.
 
[1] a necklace, bracelet, or ring
 
Their jewelry is very pretty and chic. It's very inexpensive and good quality, just like the makeup brand ELF.
 
[2] scarves.
 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE scarves. :) Forever21 scarves are the CUTEST.♥
 
[3] headbands.
 
They have THE prettiest headbands I have seen anywhere. A pearl headband? How much cuter could you get?
 
[4] cardigans.
 
Their cardigans come in the most classic colors, along with the pink of the text in the set. :)
 
and lastly...
 
[5] a military jacket.
 
Paired with a girly shirt, these can give that slight edge to any outfit.
 
Okay! Sorry that was so short. :/ They are basics though. :)♥
