After a weekend of snow i am ready for spring. I want to wear thin cotton dresses with sandals and eat Mr. Softies and have to put on sunscreen. I can just imagine lying in the sun but it's still February. Waiting sucks :(
As many of you should know by now, pastels are the new "Thing". I love pastels and they are very easy to wear but as it is February, wearing a light pink dress with light blue flats isn't very appropriate. So let's keep it on our faces. Pastels aren't mean to overwhelm your face so a sheer-ish color with a hint of shimmer works best. you can then layer that or leave it simple. Most people look good in light green but light purple and blue also work nicely. Light eyeshadow is very versatile so you can pair it with any lip color. I prefer to keep the rest of my face simple with some gloss but you can be very daring. Red lips would complement shimmery pastel eyes if your very confident, or you could create a cat eye with the color with rosy cheeks.
This makeup for ever shadow has a little shimmer and is great for layering. It can look very intense and matte if you want or like a light pastel. the purple color has a little red in it so it would look good on many people.
I like to use Clinique and makeup forever for light eyes, but to each their own.

Go December!

Only 24 days till Christmas and 31 till 2010! I am crazy excited and can't wait for the holidays but if today was a preview of the weather for the next few months I'm definitely in need of warmer clothes.
Since it's December, my favorite issues of magazines are now out! Who can say they don't enjoy flipping through pages of party makeup and clothes and finding treasures in gift lists with cool names? I am dying over the makeup! I love party makeup but I have to tone down my makeup for school. Take some examples from People stylewatch; I'd love to try this seasons glossy pink lips with metallic gray shadow. Or the trend of plum lids, Eyeliner already bought. All I have to do is perfect my cat eye, straighten my hair and watch some of the looks youtube beauty stars are using and I'll be set for at least a month and a half of partying. If I had to guess which products will be used up by January I'd have to say:

• My Sephora lip gloss in Bronzed Goddess
• Wet n' wild mega chrome eyeliner pencil in 153 Amethyst
• Burt's Bees lip shimmer in champagne. Perfect layered over a matte red for a high watt shine.
• Sephora glitter eyeliner in Opal
• Le Metier Beaute true color eyeshadow in Platinum
• Maybelline The colossal volum'express mascara
• Styli-style glitter lid liner in black
• N.Y.C. Liquid liner in jet black

As you can see I'm more about the eyes. I don't know why this is other then cooler colors and I have a hard time finding good colors for my coloring. I don't know if I'll be buying much makeup this season though, I can only think of three things off the top of my head I might need. Those are copper eyeshadow, more mascara and faux lashes. Well Goodbye mon amours!
P.s. All beauty trends and makeup are good for the holidays and on trend.
