My Everyday Makeup Look & Day Fifteen!

Today I wanted to do a post about my everyday look. It all started when I was going to post a FOTD (face of the day) yesterday and realized since I started working my routine is the same so My Everyday Makeup Look post was born! Once school picks back up I will be doing some FOTD's because my makeup varies depending on my outfit, so I guess this is technically my everyday makeup look for work! Let's begin!


(please excuse my crappy cell pic!)

So let's start off with me saying that I do not wear foundation or concealer so we will get straight to my eyes.

On my whole lid under my shadow I have a white cream shadow as a base to make my colors pop and last all day. In the  inner corners of my eyes I am wear Cloud by Prestige. On my lid I have a grey from a The Color Workshop quad that I have (it was featured in my whats in my makeup bag post). On my outer corners and crease I am wearing a black also from my The Color Workshop quad. In my water line I am wearing a black eyeliner by The Color Workshop. To top it off I am wearing Wet N Wild megaprotien mascara on my lashes!

On my cheeks I am wearing an e.l.f. blush from their contouring blush and bronzing powder duo.

Lastly, on my lips I am wearing a Wet N Wild megalast lipstick in Bare it all (my new favorite!!!) , and a L'oreal HIP lip gloss in Honest on top.

This is pretty much what I wear to work! Quick and easy!

Now onto Day Fifteen of the 30 day blog challenge!

~ Something you don't leave your house without ~
I'm sure you all guessed it! My cell phone! I have the T-Mobile G2X. Now a few months ago I would freak out if I would leave my phone at home, but lately I honestly think I could leave it home and it not even phase me. Although I always make sure to have my phone on me. You never know what could happen and you could end up really needing you cell phone.

Day Thirteen!

~ Your favorite musician and why ~


I can honestly say I have like 3 favorite bands lol, but I am going to do this post about Three Days Grace. I started listening to them in highschool when I started getting into that kind of music. So they were one of the first bands I was introduced to. I absolutely love them. I think the music is amazing and I can connect to it. I think it's great when someone can have a connection with the music they listen to and it means more to them than just being some song they like. That's how I feel with this band. Their music isn't just music for me, it's a connection. I love this band and I hope they come back with another cd!

imPRESS Press-On Pedicure Review!

While browsing the Walmart clearance section with my grandma last week, I stumbled upon this.


imPRESS press-on pedicure! If you are not familiar with this product they are press-on toe nails. When I saw them I thought that they were just so cute! Now I'm not going to lie I was very skeptical about the whole press-on nail thing. I just kept thinking of those cheap press-on nails from like middle school that never stayed on. But for just $3.00 I figured why not just give them a try! It comes with 24 toe nail covers in 12 sizes and is said to last up to a week. Each set also comes with a nail buffer and a prep pad. All the nails (aside from the big toe ones) have tabs on them with numbers ("size") which is helpful when you find a nail that fits your toe you can just grab the other one that has the same number. The tabs break clean off. No need for filing!



I must say I was very pleased with this product and I do recommend it! I purchased these on July 5th and I took them off tuesday the 10th. The adhesive that is used is very good and holds up well. I even went swimming with these on and that did not affect them at all.

The only time I seemed to have a problem was when I had work. I have to wear sneakers at work and I found that the pressure from the top of the sneakers on the toes caused a bit of discomfort. I think the nails probably could have lasted a few more days but I think because I had to wear sneakers for work it was causing the nails to start coming out of place. That little downfall doesn't bother me at all because I not going to put these on just to walk around in sneakers. Lol!

Now go get yourself some press-on toe nails!

~ Day Eleven for the 30 day challenge will be posted after this review, I didn't want to pack too much into one post!~
