Oakland

Hey Everyone! So I have an ootd/daily blog post for today. I went down to Oakland with my friend and we basically just walked around, ate, took pictures and had a fun time. Here's what I wore:

I wore my new Free People Dress. I love the unique bohemian cuts of Free People, but they aren't the easiest dresses to wear because of that.

Here's the view of the city from Cathy:

And here's Cathy!

We got an amazing Belgian Waffle, literally my diet is kaput for the week.

And enjoy these outtakes!

Summer Nights

So finally, an ootd! I believe I have another coming tomorrow. It's been a good start to the week and the beginning of summer is kicking off well. Here's my ootd for a friends birthday. I was totally Taylor Swift inspired...

I decided on a floral dress, cardigan and Birkenstocks. Admittedly, this is quite different from what I gravitate towards most of the time, but I do like to get very girl every so often.

My faux bob was just done by me pinning pieces under my hair and leaving a few loose to frame my face. It just takes practice and a bit of time. It's not a hard hairstyle to do, and it's nice for when you don't want to deal with long hair but don't want to put it up.

And the food:

I had flat bread with asparagus, and then creme brûlée.

My diet will not thank my tomorrow...

Here are just some random night pictures to showcase the makeup.

And if you're interested in the makeup, it was a neutral eye, blue navy liquid liner, red lips and lots of highlighting.

Here I am really excited about my cupcake.

  Hope you all have a great week!

40's Twist Makeup Tutorial

Hey Everyone! So I have some exciting news, first off I have ootds planned for this week. Next, I finished my senior year and am graduating this week and the best thing: I have a new makeup tutorial post! This is a 40's inspired look, but I changed it up a bit and did an ombre lip. Hope you enjoy!

So here's some of the products I used:

I haven't been wearing foundation recently, but I have been using a light concealer around my nose and on my cheeks, basically anywhere there's redness. I used NARS Super Orgasm blush, Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, and my Hourglass Ambient Palette. Those are all the face products I used to create this look. I also used an Almay Eyebrow Pencil to give my brows some more definition. I especially wanted more definition and sharpness in the arch and the start of my brow. Which is why my brows aren't as dark in this look, but very defined.

I used my Mac Paint Pot in the color Groundwork as a base then applied Trick from Urban Decay across the lid. In the outer corners and crease I used Blackheart. I kept the shape very triangular to increase definition. I then used Nylon from Mac in the inner corners and on my brow bone. (The highlighting is key to this look.) I didn't use any liner and applied Mascara.

I did a very subtle ombre lip look here as well. Because it's summer I didn't want it too dark so I kept it very blended instead of having major definition. I used Media from Mac, Amsterdam from Nars, and Dragon Girl from Nars on my lips.

Here's the completed look! 

Hope you enjoyed I'll be posting on Tuesday most likely with an ootd!
