Fashion Haul!!!

Hi loves,

I haven't done a fashion haul in a long time, since like January when I started my blog, so I decided to share with you all some items that I have gotten from Forever21 recently!


This button down shirt was $15.80, I wanted a new button shirt although I have a ton already. I like to dress kind of casual. I bought it in a salmon pink color.


I fell in love with shirt, I just really like the style of it! It was only $10.50 and I bought it in this same color.


I got this shirt as well, but I got it in a peachy coral color. I love it! It was only $14.80.


I love this one, it was a birthday gift from my boyfriend. :) I think you can get this style for $19.80-$22.80. 


I got a normal pair of black leggings. These are always $5.80 or 2 for $10.


I also got another shirt, but its in the laundry, so I will feature it in my next fashion haul. My next fashion haul should be up by Monday. I usually go shopping every other Saturday for clothes. So definitely stay up to date so that you won't miss out on that! I hope you ladies enjoyed this and +1 this for more fashion hauls.

Thanks loves,
Britt

What's Your Undertone?

Hi lovelies, 

Ok, I am doing this post because I struggled so hard with this. When I first learned about undertones, I would buy cool undertones because I have a lot of yellow in my skin and I figured yellow would go with cool and redness would go with warm. But, I learned it is the opposite, weirdly. I actually have neutral.

What are the three types of undertones?

  • Cool
  • Neutral
  • Warm
Do I have a Cool Undertone?


  • My veins appear blue
  • I look better in black and white
  • I look better in silver and blue
  • My skin has reddish and blue undertones
  • My eyes are light blue, grey, dark brown or black
Do I have a Warm Undertone?

  • My veins appear green
  • I look better in brown and off white
  • I look better in gold and orange
  • My skin has peach or golden undertones
  • My eyes are hazel, amber, golden brown, or green
Do I have a Neutral Undertone?
  • I have a mixture of the qualities of both undertone types
There are advantages to having a neutral skin tone, because you can get away with wearing any foundation. However, your skin does tend to favor more toward one of the undertones. My skin tends to favor the cool undertone. I have all of the qualities of a cool undertone, except I have yellowish tones and my veins are green. I guess I also favor it because I do have a small amount of red in my face.


I hope that this helps you ladies out and that you will take this information and find a perfect foundation shade. 

Thanks loves,
Britt

Confessions of a Blogger Tag!

So, as you guys may know, I have been slacking a lot with my blogging. I have had so much going on that you would not understand. I have a lot of things coming. So, as I am getting back on track, I was going through my fellow bloggers blogs to see what posts I have missed in the past couple of days and I saw that +Crystal A tagged me in a "Confessions of a blogger tag"! I am really excited to do this, because I love when I can give you guys a chance to know me better. So, here we go:

When did you start blogging?

I posted my first entry on January 13, 2013.

Have you had any online presence before (other blog, youtube)?

No, I have not. However, I do plan to start a youtube channel in the near future (in the works right now).

Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because I love makeup so much and I just wanted to share with people how much I love it. Also, I know how I have a lot of products that I hate and wish that someone could have told me about it before I bought it and that is the image that I am trying to portray for my blog. I just really want to help people out with things.

What was your first post?

My first post was an introduction about me. 

What has been your biggest challenge about blogging?

My biggest challenge has been making sure that I post things that will interest you guys. But, I love taking risks anyway :)

Where do you see your blog in one year?

I see it going well. However, I will be doing posts on it probably once a week because I will proably be converted to youtube by then. I will probably being doing it as an "Ask Britt" type thing.

What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?

The most rewarding thing to me about blogging is being able to help someone, like I mentioned earlier. Just being able to inspire someone. Basically, someone being able to do something or think something positive about my blog.

What is the most discouraging thing to you?

Nothing.

What is your lasting inspiration or motivation?

Being able to be here for you all whenever you need me.

:) I hope you all enjoyed this. If you did, don't be shy to +1 it <3

Who's next:

1. +Selene Galindo 
2. +Janice Mbazima 
3. +Faith Miller 
4. +Andrea G. 
5. +Julie Lindgren 

Thanks Loves,
Britt

Review Time!

Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up

Price: $30.00
Location: Ulta, Sephora and Benefit


I really like this highlight. However, it is a bit too metallic. It says that you can use it to highlight cheek bones. But, since I am African American and have a golden skin tone, I only use it to highlight my brow bone. It is a champagne color (very pretty). If you are lighter skinned, then you can probably get more use out of it than me, as far as highlighting cheek bones and bridge of nose is concerned. I would definitely recommend this product to all skin types and everyone. I rarely use a light shadow anymore to highlight my brow bones because I light the way this looks better. It is very easy to apply. I use a blending brush to blend it out. I definitely recommend this product to anyone and I hope that you guys found this review helpful if you were considering purchasing it.

Thanks loves, 
Britt

Review Time!

Benefit They're Real Mascara


"Speechless the first time I used it!"

So, as all of you ladies know, I used to be obsessed with the CoverGirl Professional Mascara. Not anymore! My birthday was last Tuesday and Sephora gave me a sample of this for my birthday. I was speechless the first time I used it! I completely fell in love. Honestly, I will probably never go back and buy a different mascara from this. I now swear by this. It is very true to its name. It will really make people question whether your lashes are real or not. The first time i used it, the way the brush felt against my lashes scared me a bit because it felt kind of weird lol. But, it gave it beautiful look and I was just mesmerized by it. It is definitely worth the price. It is $18 and I bought two of them, so yeah, it is that good. I definitely recommend this to anyone. Especially those who do not where falsies like me.I definitely think all of you ladies should go and buy it! If you like or dislike this mascara, leave your comments below and let me know how you like it!

Don't forget to subscribe and give me a google plus!

Thanks love, Britt

I'm Back...With February Faves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey loves,

I know I didn't do a good job of posting lot last week, but I am definitely back on it! I am giving you a post of some of my favorite things I loved for February!

1. NYX Smokey Pallete

I love this palette because I love doing a smokey eye and it is very pigmented.


2. NYX Natural Pallete

This palette is really good for during the day, for work, school, just hanging out with friends...anything.


3. Milani Glitzy Glamour Goss in Charmer


This gloos is very pretty, but it is dark. To take away some of the dark tint that it puts to my lips, I put a clear gloss on top of it and it looks really pretty when I do that.

4. Paris Presents HD Foundation Brush


This foundation brush is very flawless. I bought this foundation brush like 2 years ago and I never used it. I used it for the first time this month and I love it. It is a really good foundation brush and gives very good coverage.

5. Benefit's They're Real Mascara


You guys know how much I was set on my CoverGirl Professional Mascara...but not anymore! This mascara is like the best. I have never tried a mascara with a brush like this...from high end to drugstore. I have never found one. I loooooove this one. This probably had to be my most favorite product for the month of February, buying this for $18 for Ulta was one of my best investments ever.


6. Smashbox Foundation Primer


I had bought this primer because my BlackRadiance Shine Control Primer began to make my skin oxidize worse than it should. I don't know if they changed the formula or what. But, i love this photo finish primer. My makeup does not oxidize as fast and it is really good. I love it!





I hope that you guys really enjoyed my product faves. Remember if you want a more in depth review, just leave a comment below and I definitely will :) Also, remember to +1 and subscribe to my page. And share your February Faves with me!

Thanks Loves,
Britt
