What I did when I had BRACCES! + My experiences/advice

So when I had braces, i had normal brackets and one metal molar band on the left lower tooth. (i'll explain later) I really did floss everynight (ugh ikr) and it did pay off. I wore my rubberbands pretty well, and all those things combined was the reason why i got to have my braces off half a year early.

When I first got my braces, that first night my molar left last bracket came off. That was because of my bite. My ortho saw the next appt, and but a molar band on that tooth. So thats the story for that. That was the only bracket that fell off.

I still ate candy, chewed gum, ate chips and popcorn and ALL that bad stuff. Just be careful when you eat these things, and make sure to brush well and floss afterwards!

When you first get braces and the wire in, IT HURTS SOOOOO BAD. It'll calm down after 3 days, but for the next week it'll hurt mildly still. You'll get sores in your mouth, so use the wax your ortho will probably give you.

Brush well, you dont want white spots where your brackets were when you had braces.

Review: Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Foundation

So, as promised in my oct 2013 faves post, I'm starting my foundation reviews! So this one is the un-fav and its the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers loose powder "foundation"

One of the main reasons I really disliked this powder is it had little to no coverage and it makes you look SO cakey. I personally got it in 40 nude, and it matched my skin tone through the packaging and in large amounts, but on the face, it has very little coverage.

Unfortunately, I didn't think of reviewing it until my oct faves, and by that time I already returned the product back to the store, so I dont have pictures or swatches. (My target does take returns for used makeup, as long as you only used it a little)

It comes with a brush, which i did like. The brush was very soft and nice, I really liked it. But, the powder/foundation was simply just bad. I tried putting it over a foundation, and It did stay matte, but overall i simply don't like loose powders to begin with, so that could've been my problem with it.

It was about $13 in my local target, and I think IT IS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL.
I like my rimmel stay matte pressed powder WAY MORE and its only like $5. (I'll so do a review on that too)

Basically, if you're not a loose powder fan, or if you're looking for coverage with this, don't get it.
If you like loose powder and a little wee bit of extra coverage OVER foundation, go ahead.

Beautiful black smoky eye

Here is a wonderful look you can wear to a holiday party, or just any event! I think this look is So so SO elegant, and it just makes you look stunning!

Prime eyes, and use a shimmery champagne color as a base all over the lid. On the outer half, but a grey/darker color to start the smoky affect.

Add black to the very outer corner, and blend halfway into the lid, but make sure the grey is still a little visible at the halfway area.

Line eyes so it's a little wing, to add a little bit of innocence. Add mascara. False lashes are optional, (i didnt wear them) but you can to make your lashes pop!

EYELINER LOOK #1

Okay, so the reason why the title says #1, is because theres gonna be a look #2 also, so ya! Oh, and comment below when your school is starting! I can do back to school stuff too if you want (comment if you want it or not) Anyways, here it isss! Liz

So what you want to do is only use eyeliner for this look. (pencil to outline the area, then liquid to fill in) outline the "shape" like what i did here, style it yourself! if you want more of a straight look, dont make it so curved on the lid. Fill it in! And there is a quick look!
