Stylish Plaid Fall outfit Inspiration

Hey everyone! Quick outfit inspiration post today! This one is a fall inspired look complete with plaid, gold jewlery and berry tones. I'd totally wear something like that out, would you? I don't own any plaid shirts at the moment, but I'm looking into it. Do you guys have other ideas of how I could style them to make them versatile? Let me know in the comments if you do :)

Also, fall is my favorite season so I'm especially excited about fall fashion! I love the layering, the booties, the knits, the berry tones, all of it! ♥ Anyway, the outfit contains a few pricey pieces (the jeans and the necklace especially), but I'd definitely substitute those pieces for similar more affordable ones!

Get to Know Me Tag : 21 Questions

Hey all! I have a tag for you today that I saw on another blog. It's a really old post from Le Beauty Girl. I thought it was fun so I decided to give it a go! Basically, these are 21 questions that will help you get to know me a little better! I tag any of you that would like to do it as well! Link yours in the comment if you do it! I'd love to read your answers :)

1. Are you named after anyone? I don't know, but I don't think so!
2. When was the last time you cried? I rarely cry, so that one would be very hard to answer. A few weeks at least, but I couldn't say for sure.
3. Do you have kids?
Nope

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
Is it just me or is this a really odd question? I guess I would be. I try to keep positive values and that's a trait that I appreciate in a friend. Is that weird? It feels weird... anyway!

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Yup, its one of my favorite forms of humor :)

6. Will you ever bungee-jump?
Definitely not. I'm really afraid of heights so I don't think I would ever willingly  jump off anything.

7. What’s your favorite cereal?
Reese Puffs!

8. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
That's a really good question. I never really paid attention to that. Couldn't really answer it.

9. What is your eye colour?
Dark green, but everyone says it looks brown.

10. Scary movie or happy endings?
I get really traumatised by scary movies so happy endings for me all the way!

11. Favorite smells?
Coffee beans, lilacs, vanilla, roasting garlic and freshly baked bread.

12. Summer or winter?
Neither :/ Summer is too hot and winter is too cold.

13. Computer or television?
Computer

14. What’s the furthest you’ve ever been from home?
South East Asia

15. Do you have any special talents?
Don't think so

16. Where were you born?
Canada

17. What are your hobbies?
 Blogging, Makeup, reading, video games (lately I'm playing Final Fantasy XIV a Realm Reborn and Atelier Ayesha), watching shows on Netflix and traveling.
18. Do you have any pets?
yup, I have three lovely feline friends ♥

19. Favorite movie?
 The Lord of the Rings and How to Train your Dragon
20. Do you have any siblings?
I have two brothers. I'm the middle child :)
21. What do you want to be when you grow up?
 Happy! 

Well that's it for this tag, hope you enjoyed and don't forget to link your in the comments if you decide to do it too! :D

Night Out Silver Glittery Smokey Eye

Hey all! Here's a quick post for you all :) I did this glittery night out silver smokey eye recently and I thought I would share pics of it on here! It' been a while so I'm not quite sure what products I used to create it, but I hope it's good inspiration for your looks anyway




From what I recall, I used the Blue Had me at Hello palette from Wet n Wild and the Stila in the Lights Palette for the highlight. For the brows I believe this is Maybelline Define a brow. I also used rainbow color glitter and the black liquid liner is from Tony Moly.

That's it for today! Hope you all enjoyed :)

Huge NYC Beauty Haul, Project 10$/Week Update + 500 Posts

First up, I'd like to say this is my 500th post! Woohoo! Who knew I'd get to 500? I certainly did not expect that! I'm so happy with what this blog has become in the last few years and looking forward to many many more blog posts! So this 500th post will be a haul, hope you all enjoy :)


So we went to NYC last week and I did a little bit of shopping there. There were quite a few good deals and I found products I just cannot get my hands on here. We went to Ulta and the Elf store as well as other drugstores and beauty supply stores. Here's all I got :


While we're at it, why not make this a Project 10$/Week update as well! This is the equivalent of 16 weeks of makeup (I know I've been super bad T_T) which brings us to 43 weeks. I'm a little indebted on my total right now, but I think I've had my fix for a little while so I'm not too worried about sticking to it!

Other than that, my other goals were to :

1) Avoid buying Lush until my birthday or I ran out of all my products. Status : Failed
I couldn't resist getting fresh masks every now and then, oh well!

2) Avoid buying Bath and Body Works until my birthday or I ran out of all my products. Status : Success
I have since gotten a few things, but not before my birthday :)

3) Wait until after my birthday to get the Alex 9 Drawers from IKEA. Status : Success
Still haven't got it, but I'm planning to do it very soon! My makeup needs a new bigger home. :)

That's all I got for you all today. Are there any of these products that you would like to see a review on? Let me know and I'll be happy to oblige!

Look Tab on the blog

Hey everyone! Just a quick word in case you had never noticed before. I have a Look tab in the upper left corner of the blog right underneath the banner. It contains most of the makeup looks I have done in the past, in one convenient space. So if you're looking for something, the Look tab is a pretty safe bet! It's been here for a while, but it was missing quite a few makeup looks. I've added most of the missing ones now which makes it almost complete. The ones missing are the oldest ones, which I might add in the future, but really you guys aren't missing anything good ;) Anyway hope you all check it out! :)


That's all for this quick little post! Hope this tool will be helpful to you all :)

Pokemon Series : Arbok Inspired Makeup Look

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I've taken a little break from blogging, but it seems my inspiration is back for the most part so I'll try and make the most out of it :) First up is another look from the Pokemon Series. I went to NYC last week and we visited the Nintendo store. I got a Pokemon sticker book and it's quite inspiring. The first one I decided to do is one of team Rocket's most oldschool companions : Arbok!

I decided to recreate the design on its torso on my lid and the backdrop is the color of its body. I also added a colored brow for good measure. I quite like the way this one turned out, what do you all think? Let me know in the comments! Also, which other Pokemon would you like to see?
