Sweater Weather Tag!

Hey guys! This is a pretty popular tag going around Youtube so I figured I would do it as well! Let's get started!

1. Favorite candle scent?
Anything warm and cozy like pumpkins or my current favorite, Marshmallow Fireside from Bath and Body Works!

2. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

Definitely coffee! I can't live without it!

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

I don't remember any fall memories to be honest. I mostly just spend my time cuddled up in bed watching Netflix haha!

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?

Both!

5. Best fragrance for fall?

I love Vera Wang Princess and Prada Candy! I love musky scents with a floral or sweet note.

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?

My family is Mexican so we don't do the "traditional" Thanksgiving feast. This year my mom made ham, enchiladas, birria, pasta, taquitos and arroz con leche! Everything was delicious!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

I live in Southern California, specifically in southern Orange County and fall feels kind of windy and cold. I think the average temperature here is between high 60's and low 70's.

8. Most worn sweater?

I've been wearing this sweater a lot from Old Navy! It's so soft comfy! I love it!

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

I've been wearing a lot of glittery nail polishes recently. Some of my favorites are Butter London's The Black Knight and Julie G nail polish in Light it Up!

10.  Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Jumping in leaf piles obviously! I get so bored at football games!

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Gotta go with my trusty skinny jeans!

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

I wear both so I can't decide!

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

Heck to the yes! It is the most amazing thing in the world!

14. Favorite fall TV show?

I am obsessed with Bones! I'm barely on season four on Netflix right now but I just love the characters and their relationships. Such a great show!

15. What song really gets you into the fall season?

I've been listening to more slower paced songs this season. These are my favorites right now:

- What a Catch, Donnie - Fall Out Boy

- Story of my Life - One Direction

- Runaway - Kanye West

- Breath - Breaking Benjamin

- Melody - Kate Earl

And that concludes my version on the sweater weather tag! I tag anyone who reads this to do it!

Hope you're all having a great Thanksgiving season!

1. Do you wear mascara on your bottom lashes?
I used to but not anymore. I don't have many bottom lashes so whenever I put mascara on them, it looks like I only have two weird looking bottom lashes. Not a good look!

Pumpkin, apple, pecan, blueberry.....shall I go on?

My dad always tells me to do what makes me happy. He's seriously amazing!

5. Besides laughter, what’s the best medicine?
Cupcakes, ice cream and the occasional lipstick!

6. Have you ever dedicated a song on the radio to someone?
No! That seems weird to me.

7. Where do you feel the safest?
My room.

8. Who makes the best drugstore nail polish?
I love China Glaze and Sally Hansen!

Old, grey TOMS.

Yes please!

Have an amazing Thanksgiving!

Sephora VIB Sale Wishlist + Recommendations!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Life just happens you know? Anyway, Sephora just started their annual VIB 20% off sale this weekend. It started yesterday 11/7 and it goes through Monday 11/11. I believe the sale is only for VIB (Very Important Beauty Insider), but I received a card from Sephora that lets me give the 20% discount to a friend. If you know someone who is a VIB, ask to see if they have the extra code! Below is a list of items I either want in my wishlist or products I have personally used and love!

My Wishlist Items!

NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette ($65)

I currently own one NARS blush and I would love to try some of their most best-selling shades like Orgasm and Laguna. I missed out on the Danmari palette from last year and I'll make sure to purchase it this year!

GLAMGLOW Gift Sexy ($69)

I have heard so many great things about this product that I just have to try it! My close friend Michelle loves this product and usually anything she likes, I like!

FRESH Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Trio ($28)

I have used up both lip balms from the birthday set I received and I love them! I want to try out these other colors too!

BOSCIA Bright Stars ($54)

I have always wanted to try the Boscia line for quite some time now, especially the Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil!

My Recommendations!

TOO FACED Joy to the Girls ($46)

I love this palette! I recently made a review about this palette here on my blog so check it out if you're interested! It's perfect for the fall/winter season or as a gift!

SEPHORA COLLECTION Instant Nail Polish Remover ($9.50)

If you paint your nails often like I do, you definitely need this in your life! It has made removing nail polish such a breeze! All you do is stick your finger in for about 20-30 seconds and your nail is clean! This also works for glitter polishes too! I love it!

BUXOM Dolly's Opening Act™ Set ($29)

These lip glosses are seriously some of the best lip gloss out there! I own so many of them and I just want more! They have a minty scent to these and they do plump your lips a bit. They have a wonderful color payoff and seriously lasts all day! I love the sizes in this set too! Definitely check it out!

SHISEIDO The Makeup Facial Cotton ($9.50)

These are the best at removing makeup or applying toner! They feel so soft and gentle on the skin! I cut mine in half so that I don't waste any cotton. I love these!

What do you all plan on buying during this sale? Any recommendations?

Monday Questionnaire: Oct. 21, 2013

Happy Monday everyone! What did you do today?

1. Do you have a diary? 

I used to back in middle school/beginning of high school. I mostly used it to vent.

2. Best makeup lighting in your house?
My room, especially in the morning.

3. Which do you wear more often, lipstick or gloss?
Honestly, I wear both often. I'm a lip-aholic!

4. With whom do you talk the most about makeup offline?
Definitely my good friend Michelle! I actually didn't know that she was into makeup like me until I posted something on Sephora's Facebook page and she commented back!

5. Does the color of a room affect your mood?
Yes! Bright colors make me feel excited and happy. Dark colors make me feel calm and quiet.

6. Do you have any plants around you at work?
No. I work at a drugstore.

7. Are there any shadows you love except for the fallout?
There's some shadows from Too Faced and Urban Decay that I really love but they just have way too much fallout :/

8. How do you feel about nude nail polish?
I like it! I have very short nails due to biting them and nude polishes make my nails appear longer!

Can't say ;)

10. What’s your current favorite face product?
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder! I love it to set my foundation!
