5 outfits, 1 pair of shorts

Hey everyone, today I'm going to be showing you that a pair of good shorts can be worn in MANY different outfits. You only really need a few pairs of shorts and your outfit choices can be endless! Today I'm just showing you 5 of many possible outfits with these simple blue denim shorts! Enjoy!

You can class it up with a fancy tank

You can make it casual with just a spaghetti strap tank

You can make it comfy-casual with an oversized tee

You can make it relaxed and easygoing with a loose patterned top

You can be a bit more revealing and wear it with a sheer shirt

Here it is with a pink mesh bandeau under a sweater shirt with slits up the sides

Review: Too Faced Lip Injection Color Bomb in coral pop

Sorry for so many reviews everyone. I just needed you post this ASAP because-
I don't think I've ever disliked a lip product as much as I do this one.




This is the Too Faced Lip Injection Color Bomb in coral pop

First off, the color is so MUCH BRIGHTER AND NEON than this swatch. It just would not look as bright as it was on camera. The color was so hot pink it reaaaly did not match my skin tone. 

Plumping Power:


My natural lips- no plump



Right when I put it on- no plump



After 10 mins- little to no plump. During the 10 mins, it was itchy, and just uncomfortable. Not really giving that classic "plumping" sensation. 

15 mins- the little plump that came- left.

This costed $21. I got a neon pink color that didn't match my skin tone, and no plump. 
.5/10
no pros.
So disappointed. 
returned it.

June 2014 FAVES

Hey all, so this month I saw the fault in our stars, just like any other teenage girl in america. Well let me tell you. I cried. Then watched it again, and cried some more. Then listened to all the songs and cried more. Lets just say I love the movie. Of course, my fave this month is The Fault in Our Stars, (the movie) I will read the book this summer, and I will cry more.

Any who, some of my favorite songs in the movie were these:

Grouplove - Let Me In This song played when Hazel found out she was going to Amsterdam, and augustus arrived in a limo. <3

Charli XCX - Boom Clap This song played when the arrived in amsterdam, and this song went perfectly with the scenes and film. This song was also in a few of the trailers.

M83 - Wait This sad song happens at the end of the movie, in Augustus' letter, AND in Amsterdam when he tells Hazel about his PET scan. DA FEELZ

Well, I'm going to go cry now.

Okay?


...Okay.





sobs silently in corner.

Benefit They're Real Mascara vs. Revlon Lash Fantasy

Woohoo! Hey guys, todays post is going to be a battle of the mascaras! I'm gonna be comparing 2 mascaras, one drugstore and one higher end, to see which one is better, does what it says, and is WORTH YOUR MONEY. Hope you guys enjoy! Love, lizzy

the WANDS:
Benefit they're real
 Revlon Lash Fantasy

I chose the revlon lash fantasy to go against they're real because the wands are very, very similar.
The only real big difference I felt with the wands are that the benefit wand is harder, and the lash fantasy is a lot for flexible when I'm applying, like its make of silicone. 

ONE COAT:
THEY'RE REAL: RIGHT EYE
LASH FANTASY: LEFT EYE



they're real is showing more volume, and a bit more length when eyes are open(but very close in length to the other one when closed)
Lash fantasy is showing about the same length as they're real. 

TWO COATS:
THEY'RE REAL: RIGHT EYE
LASH FANTASY: LEFT EYE





THEY'RE REAL: MORE VOLUME AND LENGTH
LASH FANTASY: LENGTH, BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THEY'RE REAL

So the winner is... Benefit's they're real mascara! It showed a TON more volume and length by the second coat!

Batiste Dry Shampoo for Brunettes REVIEW!

Hello all, as promised in my March faves, I'm going to be doing a review of my batiste dry shampoo with brown color in it! (for brunettes). Hope you guys enjoy! -liz

So, since this was in a faves, I think yall know I like it, but there are a few cons, so lets get started!

Pros: 
Absorbs Oil
Leaves no white trace, as its colored brown
AMAZING
pretty cheap, around $8 for a brunette dry shampoo, which is a good price. 
overall does what its suppose to do

Cons: 
if you put too much in, there will be brown powder on your bathroom counter and on your fingers.
When shampooing it all out, the shampoo foam is brown from the color. 

Overall rate: 8.75/10
10/10 would buy again. 
I soooooo recommend this.
