Hurt

Everybody will feel this feeling, this strange creepy darkness that just swells up within oneself. It's simple its the pain, simple breaking of a heart. The heart thats a funny thing, it can be broken in one instant or it can be slowly torn at, ripped and stabbed over a period of time. It can be broken by some complete stranger or the person that you find yourself caring about more than anything in the world. That's the hurt that hurts the most.

Its easier to lock your heart up, and not allow yourself to feel or fall in love. It's easier to pretend that everyone around you are bad and are going to hurt you. It's easier to lock yourself away and not allow yourself to feel anything. When you feel for that one instant love, the next instant you are wondering when the hurt part comes or how long are you going to have to wait for it.

I always expected that people will stab at my heart, so I kept it closed off and didn't let anyone near it. Until, suddenly I thought that something maybe different, something would stop the constant pain, and I allowed myself for that small instant to trust someone other than myself. For a long time I was convinced that it was the right thing to do. But, sitting here and writting this makes all those feelings just run and hide under the covers. I feel like a fool and the pain that rises in my chest where my heart is, hurts uncontrollably. The tears havn't hit my eyes yet, but the huge boulder in my chest has already been built.

Feeling Confused

(Inspired by a sister who I love unconditionally. May this make some sense to you. You know who you are.)

Who does she chose
She's confused
And feeling so blue

Where does she go
When all is confused
And her thoughts are
Reaching the sky and the moon

She crawls to her bed
To figure this out
But sleep doesn't come
She is feeling let down
With her endless thoughts
Spinning around

She is scared to get hurt
It happened before
She opened her heart
With hope to love
Her heart can't hold on
Anymore

She wants to be loved
For someone to hold
To whisper those words
She is eager to know

Could one of them
Be that guy
To hold her hand
Through those dark stormy nights

So who does she chose
So,she doesn't  lose
She will make the right chose
She'll hear the voice

She run after it
Running towards the one
That she isn't willing to lose.

Bare Minerals Foundation Review.

  • Hey Everyone,
                                       I know I haven't written in quite a while. And there shouldn't be any excuses for that.
bareMinerals SPF 15 Matte FoundationBut, today I would like to make a little blog on my all time favorite Foundation of all time. I have tried so many of them and when I saw the commercials on TV for the bare mineral foundation I just shrugged it off and thought nothing of it. But, with my last online purchase at Sephora I got the option to try the Bare Minerals Foundation in Median Beige. And I am absolutely in love with it. I don't know what I have been doing without it all these years.
I mainly am surprised at how much coverage the foundation provides. For the past month and a half all I have been using is the Bare Minerals foundation and it is amazing. It gives you just the right amount of coverage and feels wonderful on your skin. Also, in my opinion the foundation isn't to heavy and is really easy to blend. It works great with a little Kabuki Brush. I can't explain how much I love this product. If you haven't tried any of there products look for deals from Sephora or Ulta which can send you a free sample, then you can decide if you want to buy it. The full size product cost $28 at both Sephora and Ulta. From everything that I have tried in the past this is defiantly  a 5/5 product. If you have tried any of the Bare Mineral Products let me know what you think of them.:)

Favorite Top 5 Lip Products

Kat Von d underage red lipgloss Review

Painted Love Lipgloss So, recently I have been getting really into Pin up Girl make- up. I always have loved the red lip and the liquid eyeliner. But, every time I did the red lipstick look it just was either too dark or it was too light or it just didn't look good on me. I have about lost all hope in every finding the perfect red shade. I tried different red lip glosses as well, but the color that was in the tube never came out the same on my lips.

So, if you are like me  that like red lips but either afraid to go with red matte lipstick and have trouble finding the right shade of lip gloss in a drug store brand try the new Kat Von d painted love lip gloss. I am in love with this shade and texture of the product. It gives the perfect red lip with a glossy touch. I like this product alot also because you can me it dark or lighter by apply more or less of the product which you can do with alot of lipsticks.

I would give this a 5/5 because it allows you to make it lighter or darker and has a pleasant smell to the product. This product cost originally 18 dollars at Sephora but it currently on sale for 9.I think it has a real classy design with the roses.  This product is meant to be used without a chapstick base underneath. I have worn it before with a chapstick base but, it would come off faster then when I used it without it. All in all it is a great product and perfect for a pin up 1940's  look.If you tried this product please let me know what you think about it. And if you wish me to do a pin up girl make up tutorial video leave me a comment about that. :)
Happy Holidays

NAKED Juice and Check in

Green MachineHey everyone,
I am very sorry for not keeping up with this blog. It has been so busy with work and school. But, I will try to make YouTube videos and blog posts on the weekends. So, don't worry I didn't forget or decided not to blog anymore. Its just that is been a little hectic. But, the first thing I want to say is that I got a job. :) Yay. I have been looking for a while and I got hired at a daycare close to my house. 
Secondly I want to talk about my new favorite drink, NAKED juice, not only does it taste amazing but it also is really healthy for and since I am not a person that eats a lot of fruits and vegetables a glass of this juice is the perfect substitute. My favorite flavor at the moment is "Green Machine".
I got hooked on this juice when I was coming back from L.a. and I wanted a healthy drink that wasn't water. Plus, I can't drink any energy drinks because they have alot of caffeine in them.

When I was picking the flavor, this juice appealed to me because of the color, yes I know strange.:) But, I don't alot of greens and this juice had spinach and broccoli both vegetables that I tend to stay way from. So, I was i little nervous to try but, the taste is amazing. It doesn't taste anything like either of those vegetables. If I didn't know any better I would say it was a kiwi smoothie. Also, I feel like it is a smart on the go chose of drink rather than having a soda or a energy drink. I don't have a crash feeling after drinking it either. All in all I have found my new favorite drink. I am so glad that I gave it a try and didn't reject it because of the color or the vegetables in it, which I so often due with juices that have vegetables in them.

My favorite part about this drink is that you get your serving of vegetables without tasting them, which in my book is a 5/5 deal.
I am absolutely in love with this drink. If you have tried any flavors of the Naked Juices please let me know, so I can get some ideas on what to purchase next.

xoxo

P.s. Thank You  for kindly waiting for the You Tube videos and tutorials they are coming I promise. I just need to find some free time when I am not studying or working. :)

How To Make Your Eye Shadow Stay On? "Request"

  • Hi everyone,
  • You may wonder why Primer, well a simple reason is that you face produces natural oils that can tend to make you make up smudge. Some great ways to control the oils while being able to where eye shadow is by using primers.Primers are just great way to create a seal between your eyelids and your eyeshadow. Primers also create smooth eyelids for easy application.
  • Today I got a request to do a blog about how to keep your shadow on through out the day. Believe me for years I have struggled with this too. I'd put on a really pretty eyeshadow and by the end of the day it would all be gone or it would crease. (And if you know me I am a huge eyeshadow junkie:])
  • Well, there  are a few different ways to keep keep your eyeshadow from fading throughout the day. The first way would be using a concealer, this  can be purchased for a few dollars at any CVS or Rite Aid or whatever type of drugstore you have around your area. Some products that I would recommend would be Physicians Formula Rx for dark circles. This is the product I have talked about before  in a different blog. This works wonders, it gets rid of dark circles and keeps your eyeshadow on all day. It can be purchased for $8.95 at CVS. Another product that I would recommend from CVS  is the Almay  eye base and Concealer ($8.99). Another great product from CVS is the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Perfector($13.99). If your a looking to spend under five dollars you can purchase the "Wet n Wild" Concealer stick,($1.99) This Concealer stick does the trick as well but doesn't make too much of a hole in your wallet.If you don't want to use a concealer to prime your eyes there are many eye shadow primers that will do the trick, though these are a little bit more costly but they work magic. One primer that I only hear good things about is the Urban Decay primer potion that costs around 18 dollars. Another high end primer is the MAC prep and Prime eye primer, two faced eye primer and the Lancome Eye primer.
  • If you have tried any other primers or know any other tricks to keep your eyeshadow from fading or creasing please leave a comment on the bottom, I'm curious to see what other people use to keep their eyeshadow from fading or creasing.
