Makeup Giveaway!!!

As you may or may not know, I have been planning a giveaway for when I reach 1k blog views.

Last weekend I went to ULTA to pick out a prize for the giveaway since I am very, very close to 1k views.

At ULTA I saw so much stuff that I wanted and I came across this NYX lipstick that I just adored. I have never bought a NYX product before but I heard it was a good brand and I thought it would be perfect to get a lipstick from NYX for my giveaway.

This is the NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in the color Chaos. Stay tuned, the Giveaway starts tomorrow and be sure to tell your friends!!

Photo-Shoot Collab.

                                                 

A couple weekends ago, my sister, Alexis, and I did a photo-shoot collaboration. We thought since we both are fashion bloggers it would be cool to share our story.

Yes we are sisters, but our style is sooooo different!!

I like more vintage, clean and cute, while Alexis likes a more preppy attire.

Alexis and I are from the sunny and warm Florida and we don't get super cold weather as you know! But we consider the 50's cold, brr! Two Saturdays ago we went to a flea market to look around and then we headed to the park to take some pictures. It was probably in the 60's, so it was fairly cool. In this picture I wore a Forever21 fuchsia pink sweater, American Eagle gray cami, Hollister jeans and black leather boots. 

Alexis wore a greenish top from Canvas by LandsEnd, Hollister jeans and brown leather riding boots.

Since winter can be a dull season, I wanted to give my look a spruce of color!

You can find Alexis at Salty and Sweet. 

Share, comment, like!

7 Must Haves for Spring 2013

7 Must Haves for Spring 2013 by biabu featuring printed shirts

1. These UNEARTHED leather cuffs with a metallic finish are a big fashion statement for this Spring, I have been noticing metallic and cuffs at several fashion shows. Whats a better way to wear these pieces then to put them together? 
2. This floral print dress is sold out! But a floral print dress is a must this Spring and there are many similar styles out there.
3. Printed collarless blouses seem odd compared to the big collared-blouse trend from last year, but believe it or not, this style is in.
4. Need to polish your look? No problem, this boucle skirt will make you look stylish. A nice boucle suit is good too.
5. For Spring, pale nails are a must to balance off your bold look, this "butter London" nail polish in the color "Hen Party" does the trick.
6. A basic blue eye is predicted to be in this season, so stock up on your blue eye shadows!
7. People have been searching for the perfect product to carry there tablets, well its finally here! Look tech-savvy in style!

My Daily Makeup Favorites

 Do you have a signature daily makeup look, or do you change it up? Many girls have makeup that they use on a daily basis, and some that they use for special occasions. I like to keep a few products to wear to school to keep a natural look, but I have tons of makeup that I don't know what to do with!!!! Yet I still like to keep that makeup because it will come in handy, some day...call me a makeup hoarder! But I'm not. According to LOVELYish, 1/3 Women won't leave their house without makeup on. Sounds crazy? Maybe it does, but wearing makeup gives women a boost of confidence that leaving their house with a bare face wouldn't. The question is, why? Every woman has a different answer, but most say it makes them feel "pretty" and "put together" or "professional". I know I feel different in makeup, I just don't know the exact reason...but I don't pile tons on my face, I wear the appropriate amount of makeup depending on wear I'm headed. For my school look, I like to keep it natural and clean, and not overloaded. Read on for a list of my daily products.

For my eyes, I use Chocolate bliss (The darkest brown) and Hot Cinnamon (On the top left square, the bottom triangle), I blend them together for a nice and calm look. I then apply bronzer, called Bronze Goddess, it gives me a shimmery look. 

To define my eyes some more, I use a Blackened Black eyeliner, from Estee Lauder. This liner applies easily and stays on long. I love this product!

To top off my eyes, I use the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara. This mascara gives your lashes a full, long look that every girl wants! (Sorry for the bad quality). 

For my lips, I use Plum Divine Shimmer Gloss, by Estee Lauder. This lip gloss has a purplish lasting color that you will love. Purple is a major color this year, and so is bold, so stay in style with this gloss. This is my go-to product! 

Pictures are mine, and all of these products are from Estee Lauder.

Brush your hair before going swimming, taking a shower, or getting your hair wet to prevent from knots. Knots form the most in wet or damp hair, so brushing through your hair will smooth it out and spread out the strands. (Not my picture.)

Daily Makeup Products!!!

Bright lipsticks and blushes are in. But I like to keep my school look natural. Here's a list of the products I use and some reviews.

 For just $7.77 online at maybelline.com, this product is a must in my opinion! Everyone needs a good mascara and this is a great one. Adds an extra pop of boldness to your lashes and gives them an awesome length. Just make sure to comb out your eyelashes before use to prevent clumps and finish with an eyelash curler.

For just $3, Burt's Bees Lip Balm is a bargain. This product soothes and hydrates your lips and is a good purchase in my opinion. I definitely recommend this. 

 For $45 dollars, a bit expensive but definitely worth it. I actually use the BIENFAIT MULTI-VITAL day cream and it keeps my skin looking healthy and glowing.

For $4.59 at Target, this Covergirl Eye Enhancer Shadow works great. It stays on long and shows the color that I hope for. 

For just $4.60 at amazon.com, this product is my fave. It adds a nice shine with soothing my lips. It also smells good too, it's Victoria's Secret what do you expect?
