School Things

High school may be the absolute peak of your suffering, but it's also a period of great freedom when it comes to hair and makeup. I mean, no one's going to turn you down for a job because your cat eyes and choppy layers are just too fierce! Save the professionalism for grown women. Now is your time to sparkle! (or glitter, or shimmer, or whatever other finish you like

NYX Glitter Cream Palette

i picked this up at Urban Outfitters the other day (for pretty cheap!) and wore the gold shade to a party. i really love the dark purple too! with primer and a corresponding shade of eyeshadow underneath, it adds a bold, girly pop of color to your evening makeup.

my eyelashes are naturally pretty thick, so i usually only wear falsies when they're colorful, like these. they're great for parties or fun evening events, where it'll probably be dark and you want to draw attention to your eyes. there's this tiny little discount beauty store i go to that has them in every color and style imaginable, but since you probably don't live where i do, you can buy almost any kind you like here.

Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage

excuse me while i state the obvious, but it's sooo PINK!! the color is just beautiful, and Nars always makes such quality makeup. i've found that when you're buying lipstick with such strong pigmentation, it's best to buy higher quality brands. it'll stay as strong as when you first applied it, and it's not as likely to bleed all over the place. hot pink looks great with a black cat eye and a few swipes of mascara for a subtle way to draw attention to your lips and your eyes without overpowering your face with too much color.

youth is a wonderful thing to embrace! have fun with it!!

life moves pretty fast. if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
