BLOG-Cember Day 7 : Shoutout Sunday

Sorry I missed yesterday's post, I will be making it up in a couple days, but today we have yet another new series. This one is Shoutout Sunday where I will be listing some of the accounts I have been interested in on various social media platforms. 

This week I have a couple YouTube accounts as well as from Instagram. 

First up is Tati of GlamLifeGuru, her videos have been some of my favorites to keep up with on YouTube lately.  I really like how she gives love to drugstore products as much as she does higher end products. Her Hot or Not videos are great little reviews on new products, there have been a couple that after giving a product a bad review helped save me from losing out on wasting money.

Another Youtuber I have really been enjoying is Amy Macedo, she has less than 100,000 subscribers but the quality of her videos rivals that of some of those who have millions of subscribers. Not only does she do beautiful makeup but her reviews of products are outstanding. She is down to earth while keeping a professional, informative presence in her content. 

Instagram is a guilty pleasure, I spend more time than I care to admit scrolling through my feed. I have come across some amazing talent on the app though. 

My all time favorite makeup account on IG is @makeupby_alo this woman is not for the kind hearted thought. I really love her no-bullshit attitude and creative touch. Not only will you see flawless contouring techniques and blending but she will put your cooking skills to shame (she also has a cooking account @alos.kitchen) and in the next post she will have you literally laughing your ass off with her sass. Basically she is who I want to be when I "grow up". If you have not run across her profile already you really should check her out. 

BLOG-Cember Day 5 - November Favorites

A couple days into the new month, but I do still have a list of favorites from last month. Unfortunatly there are a couple items that have been discontinued and/or are limited edition for which I am sorry if they peek your interest, however I have been trying to use up some older items in my collection to make room for newer things.

Face Products

1. City Color All-Set Setting Spray with Silica

This is a decent setting spray given the price I purchased it at( $4 at 5below stores ). I am not going to go as far as to say that it tops any of my favorite Skindinavia sprays, however for a drugstore priced product this does extend the life of my makeup. My only real issue with this product is the smell, which doesnt last long but it does smell a bit rubbery like a pool toy before it drys. 

BLOG-Cember Day 4 : Get to Know Me

For day four of BLOG-cember I decide a little get to know me would be a great idea, since I have never really given too much about me for the few readers who do not know me personally. These are mostly geared toward's beauty but will help give you a better idea of who I really am.

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

 I have very frizzy hair that is kinda wavy but the older I get the curlier it gets.

 2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

It really just depends on my mood and bank account, I prefer to go to the salon and have my hair done but I am also quite the bathroom hairdresser. When I dye my hair red typically I do it myself for the simple fact that I have to re-dye so often that it would be outrageous to go to the salon everytime my color needed to be refreshed. However anything involving straight bleach I leave to the professionals. 

BLOG-Cember Day 3 : Wearable Wednesday

In my planning for BLOG-cember I decided to start a couple new series, yesterday I introduced Trash It Tuesday's and today I bring you Wearable Wednesday's. For this series I will be taking a bright fun color or unique product that might be hard to incorporate into daily wear and show you how to make it more wearable. Today I am going with blue on the eyes. It is easy to go from classy and pretty to drag queen (no offense, I love me some queens but that style of makeup is just not what most want for an everyday look) when using blue shades on the eyes. Included are two looks, one is a more amped up version using shadows, while the other is the "safe" version using just blue eyeliner. 

Look 1: Blue Eyeshadow

Obviously I thought I was some kind of model :P

BLOG-Cember Day 2 : Trash It Tuesday

Keeping up with BLOG-cember, and starting a new series, I introduce Trash It Tuesdays. I have a pretty decent sized makeup/beauty product collection and of course that means I also have some products that I am not so fond of, so I plan on sharing some of my not so pleasant experiences to possibly save you the trouble. While the series implies I am trashing all the products included, that is not quite the case, I do have various female family members and a couple friends that I like to let dip into my rejects, since sometimes products are not bad, they just don't suit me. So fear not the majority of products featured will find a new home rather than being tossed. Now on to the trash talk.

BLOG-cember Day 1 : Wish List

Lets just not mention the fact that it has been months since I have posted, I am aware and I am ashamed. I was doing so well posting regularly, so as a way to make it up to all 4 of my readers I am going to be participating in BLOG-cember where I post every day for the month of December. This is a big undertaking, but with the end of the semester closer than I can comprehend this is not completely unrealistic. We are going to start BLOG-cember out with a favorite, the monthly wish list.

1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo - Blonde

October 2014 Wish List

So in case you didn't know my birthday is coming up on the 24th. If that is not enough reason for me to love the month of October, then let me mention how much I love Halloween and Day of the Dead and fall and cooler weather. That being said of course I have a wish list this month.
