California Outfit Diary

While in California for VidCon, I made sure to take pictures of my outfits everyday so I could show you an outfit diary! The weather was actually pretty mild, and not as hot as it has been in Oregon, so that was definitely weird for me. Although it wasn’t as warm, it was definitely a lot more muggy! Walking to the convention center in the morning could get pretty warm just because of the humidity, but overall the weather was really great for being able to wear cute outfits. So without further ado, let’s get into the pictures!

 Our first day was spent shopping a little bit, and just kind of relaxing around the hotel!
Crop top: Top Shop (please say that out loud because it’s so fun)
Shorts: Old Levi’s from my mom that I made into shorts
Blouse: This is actually my mom’s as well, and I think she got it from JC Penny’s!

I was SO excited about all of the palm trees, because I absolutely love them!
Shoes: Birkenstocks
Bag: Nordstrom
This was the first day of VidCon, and if you couldn’t tell, I was ecstatic!
Dress: Free People
Shoes: Kohl’s (for $10!!)
This dress also has pockets! That was seriously so nice and convenient to have all day.
I loved how my hair turned out this day!

This was day two of VidCon!
Romper: Pacsun
Shoes: Kohl’s (again for $10!)

 Necklaces: The purple one is from a local farmer’s market, and the other one was made by Joycie!

 I also really love how my hair turned out this day

 I think this was my favorite outfit! I wore this on the third and final day of VidCon, and I’m so happy with how the full look came together.
Dress: Free People
Necklace: A little independent jewelry maker

 The back of this dress is amazing!

 I decided to wear a couple of flash tattoos this day since the back was so open! Now I’m really tempted to get a real tattoo there…

 I also put another flash tattoo on my wrist! And ohmygosh it took about forty-five minutes to do my hair (you can ask Joycie who had to put up with me while I braided my mane…) but I’m so glad I took the time to do this hairstyle because it really completed the look!

 We went to Disneyland on the fifth day and found Tinkerbell’s little garden, so of course we had to take OOTD’s there!
Shirt: Nordstrom
Shorts: Nordstrom
Bag: Ted Baker

 Sunglasses: Forever 21

We were shopping and traveling the sixth day, so I didn’t have a chance to take an OOTD, and I was just wearing one of my old tropical print dresses, so I didn’t figure you all would want to see that. But overall, I had a blast in California! The trip was exhausting, but so, so, so incredible! I cannot wait to go back next year for VidCon! πŸ™‚

Cinderella Inspired Prom Makeup!

I went and saw the Cinderella movie about a month ago and it was so amazing! Dare I say it’s even better than the original animated one?! All of the costumes, hair, makeup, and everything else was so gorgeous! I seriously fell in love within the first five minutes. I also love the message of “have courage and be kind” that they drive to the audience throughout the whole movie.
Since I loved the movie so much, I did a makeup look for prom inspired by it! I had so much fun doing this, and what girl doesn’t want to look like Cinderella for prom?!

 I used the colors in my Naked 1 and 3 palette for this look since they both have really pretty soft pinks! I wanted this whole look to be really glowy and soft since Cinderella really doesn’t wear a lot of harsh makeup in the movie, even during the ball.
I also used the “skintuitive” lipgloss from Tarte for this look, and it changes into a different color for each person! It was so cool watching the color change.
Here is my YouTube video where you can watch how I got this look! πŸ™‚
Well I just wanted to do a quick post showing this look! I’m a freshman in college so I of course am not going to prom, but I thought this might be helpful for those of you going to prom! I know I always had the hardest time deciding what makeup to wear for prom.
Have you seen the new Cinderella?

Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful day! πŸ™‚

Everyday Makeup Routine!

I’ve been wanting to do a post and video about my everyday makeup routine since I really enjoy watching them myself! I also haven’t done a post about makeup and what I’ve been loving lately in a little while, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share my own makeup routine!

I first put on this BB cream from Boscia, and I have really been loving it lately! It’s great because it contains sunscreen (which you need even on cloudy days!) and it’s sheer but build-able, so it’s perfect for day or night!

Then I use my concealer from Tarte (my favorite makeup brand) to cover up any blemishes I have, and also my dark circles under my eyes. These are always bad even when I get ten hours of sleep!

Then I use this fluffy shadow brush and the Elf High Definition Powder to set the concealer underneath my eyes.
This powder is so amazing! It’s a great dupe for the Makeup Forever HD powder, and I just couldn’t be any happier with it.
I use the this Kabuki Face Brush and the High Definition powder to set the BB cream all over my face.
I move on to eyes after that, and line them with this white eyeliner from Wet ‘n Wild. This helps to brighten eyes and make them look bigger!
After that, I curl my eyelashes with this torture device.


Then I coat my lashes with the Gifted mascara from Tarte! This mascara is amazing, and is actually supposed to be good for your lashes as well!

I actually forgot to picture the highlight that I use, but it’s just a white eyeshadow that I put in the corner of my eyes with this large angled brush from Ecotools!

To contour my face, I use this large angled brush and the Tarte bronzer pictured below.

Surprise, surprise, another Tarte product! I’m telling you guys, I’m obsessed. I love this bronzer because it’s the perfect shade for me, and I can use it year round!

I blend in the bronzer with this large face brush, just to make sure there are no harsh lines!

Alright, those are all of the products I use for my Everyday Makeup Routine! This was really fun to film and write about – I think I’ll start doing some more makeup looks once finals are over and I have more time! I put the YouTube video I posted about my routine below, so if you want to see how I actually put on all of those products, take a look! πŸ™‚

What are your go-to products for your everyday makeup routine?

Thank you so much for reading (and watching!), and have a great day! πŸ™‚

Face of the Day: Hints of Pink

My classes this quarter are honestly really great – on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I don’t have class until 12:30, and on Tuesday and Thursday I start class at 9:30. Consequently, I look much more put together on the days that I start at 12:30! This look is from one of the days when I actually got up in a timely manner, so I felt like putting on some eyeshadow!
 I used my Naked 3 palette to create this look – I wanted a subtle smokey eye with pink tones so it wouldn’t look so dramatic for daytime! πŸ™‚
I really like how this look came out because it was perfect for looking just a bit more put together for classes. And, I’ve really been wanting to use my Naked 3 palette more! 
I also had some time to do my hair! I’ve really been loving braids lately because they’re so easy to do with any hairstyle.
What is your go-to daytime makeup look?

Thank you so much for reading, and have a great day! πŸ™‚
