It gives you such a glow just to know you're wearing lipstick and heels!

Hey guys, I made a little guide of what's in my make-up bag because I've had a lot of questions about it and because make-up is really fun. :)



1. MAC lipstick
I would never want to look like Lady Gaga but this lipstick is my absolute dream. I want to wear it for the rest of my life. The perfect pink!
2. Cheekers Blush in Plumberry glow
I have used this blush for ever and ever. It's frighteningly cheap but it stays put and I love the color.
3. Bobbi Brown skin foundation
Worth the money.
4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow palette
Backstage at one of our Castledoor shows a couple of years ago, there was a huge bag of free Urban Decay make-up waiting for me. Other than it being one of the best things that's ever happened to me, it also hooked me on Urban Decay products. They are also all Vegan which is a major bonus.
5. Stila liquid eyeliner
I just got this for Christmas but it seems to last all day and is fairly easy to use.
6. The ole Great Lash
I just use whatever new mascara my mom and sister tell me about. I can't really tell a difference between cheap and pricey mascara so I usually go for the great lash.
7. Urban decay eyeshadow primer
Your eyeshadow will stay all day long...and then some.
8. Bobbi Brown touch up stick
I never used concealer before I got this one but it's really nice and creamy under the eyes.

So that's that!

I had been wearing way too many skirts so I needed a "ripped jeans day". These were taken a few days ago but I had to break up all the skirt-y-ness happening here. I'm just not drawn to pants very often so it's fun on days that I do wear them.
I wore my plush tights underneath my jeans and it was insane how nice it made my day! :)
In any case, I'll be back in a skirt tomorrow.
Gabe kept saying how weird I looked because he'd never seen me in white ripped jeans. Well, what's the point of blogging if you wear the same thing everyday?! (Don't worry, he's not mean. He added, "Not because I don't like it. You just look different. You look cute!")

  9. "How lovely to be a woman" indeed. I've been obsessing over your lipstick for months now. I didn't realize it was good ole Lady Gaga for Mac. Such a great pink. This look is very cute and cool. You really can pull off any look.

  10. I love, love, love your boots! Where are they from?
    I agree with Gabe, you are just the sweetest to "listen" to and to see in pictures. You should do a video!

  23. i've been wondering for some time what color lipstick you wear. it's the perfect color for your complexion. i think we all want to feel like lady gaga a little bit, even if its something as small as the color of your lips.

    its nice to have a lazy jeans day. it makes wearing a skirt the next day that much more enjoyable. :)

    hope you're having a good weekend.

  26. Yes! Now I know where to find the perfect shade of pink for my lips! Sadly, MAC seems to be sold out online, but hopefully they're not in stores! Thanks for sharing! Love the white pants. I haven't been able to find a pair that I love just yet. In fact, the last time I wore white pants... it was the 7th grade!


    Stop by soon!

  27. I love you in white ripped jeans! They look great.

    Thanks for sharing with us what's in your makeup bag. I've been getting more into makeup this past year, and it's a lot of fun. I just can't seem to get blush to work for me, though--I'm already a little flushed naturally, and it tends to look freaky under fluorescent lights. I'll have to try the one you posted! I've read in some magazines that really bright, really sheer blush looks great on everyone, and the one you posted certainly seems to fit that bill.

    The joy of comments never does diminish, does it?

    Also, I am obsessing over your boots in this outfit (great outfit all together, but these boots are phenom!) You must tell me where you purchased them from! :)

    I hope you're having a lovely weekend!

  35. that lipstick-- do you put it directly on lips, or layer over concealer?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Dear anonymous annie:

    This lipstick is great because it's sheer but the color is buildable. The first coat will just be a pretty sheer pink..if you do 2 or 3 its more of a noticeble pink. I just put it straight on..no concealer or anything.

  37. I think I need this MAC lipstick! Love the jeans.

    Do you circle your whole eye with liner? I've been trying to branch out to the liquid liner world.
