So I have done an animal print inspired makeup tutorial in the past and I thought actually turned into a disaster. With a new spin on the look, I felt this one had more of a feminine feel and visually was cleaner than the other. I'm actually thinking of doing a Youtube tutorial on this but I am not sure if you may or may not think this would be acceptable. So without further ado I'll insert some photos here and click on my link to my new Youtube channel!

Who would've known that lemons would have many benefits other than lemonade?! There are many articles and out and advertisements out there showing different facial treatments and skin peels that may be costly! I use a cheap effective way of doing the same thing for your face. Basically this is a way to exfoliate for your face to make it SO much smoother and softer. All that you need to use in this homemade treatment are:lemons (preferably fresh)
sugar
flat cotton pads
Okay, now that you have all your ingredients you may use the lemon juice the stores sell in the plastic bottles but fresh lemons would be better! :)
Did you know?
The largest organ in your body is your skin? So whatever you put on your skin will soak up in your body. Using organic sugar (if you can) will help with less irritations from the chemicals depend on how sensitive your skin is.
FIRST take a cotton pad and squeeze some of the lemon juice on the pad.
SECOND sprinkle a good amount of sugar on top of the pad
THIRD now rub the pad on your face in circular motions focusing on where your oil glands are such as your chin and your T-Zone.
If the lemon is a bit too sensitive for your face you can dilute it with some water and should work out perfectly!
You can repeat this treatment whenever you would like depending on how sensitive your face is!! For me I do it twice a week:)
Lemons benefit you because they rid of blackheads, acne, sun spots, age spots, discoloration of the skin, and much more! It is also said to boost your immune system and stimulate circulation!
Enjoy!

Both products I think I can say that I enjoy, but one I favor more than the other. Both are affordable for those who are students and cannot get higher end products right away like myself. The first product that I have is the Pantene Pro-V Heat Protection in CURLY. This is not my first time trying a type of heat protection but honestly Id have to say the only reason I purchased this product is for the quantity of product in the bottle. I straighten my hair quite a bit so I tend to use a lot of product. This product comes in three styles: Thick, Curly, and Fine.
The second product Beyond The Zone, I have tried last year. I also enjoyed this product and first used it from my ex roommate. I quickly fell in love with this product because with only a few sprays it would cover all of my hair, and since my hair is pretty thick, I was quite surprised with the amount of sprays I put in my hair. (2-3) This product actually does not contain alcohol which is a big factor for me since alcohol in products tend to dry out my hair faster than usual. I thought this product is suppose to help the heat go away! :P This product feels more on the oily side rather than Pantene because it contains more water.
As a final decision I'd have to go with Beyond the Zone since it suits best with my hair type and I do not have to use much product rather than Pantene.
Q: What is your favorite Heat Protection and any recommendations of which I should try??

Just the other day I was taking my brother over to his guitar practice and I really did not want to wait three hours for him to finish. So on a whim I bought a few beauty products to see if I would enjoy Forever 21's make up.
The first product Get the Glam with rosy cheeks is in the color Mauve. As shown it features five different pink tones which can give you a fresh new look. I myself have tried this look and surprisingly came out pigmented. :) Right now it is priced at $3.80 at any For Love 21 or Forever 21 stores today!

| cover of compact |
The next product that I purchased was a pair of fake lashes. Priced at $2.80, the Feather Soft Eyelashes are the perfect eye lashes to wear at any type of day or night.
 |
| lash glue included |
For me personally I cut one of the lashes in half and put them on the end of my lashes so it would appear to have longer lashes without having to apply it across the whole lid. This is a great method for those with smaller eyes or those who do not want such a dramatic effect!
 |
| Here's a closer look |
Last but not least, I purchased a bronzer. For those who are fans of having a glow, and healthier look of your skin, this is a perfect look for you! Ive all ways been a beach kind of gal and whenever I think of bronzer I think of the beach! This Sunkissed Bronzer in the color bronze (how original.. hah) is only $3.80USD.
This bronzer comes in two colors, bronze and pink, and turned out to be very pigmented. I am very happy with this purchase and I would advise anyone to get it. In this holiday season this would make a perfect stocking stuffer! On a side note make sure not to use a lot because a little goes a long way with this product which is perfect so you know you will not have to keep purchasing more product over and over again in a short amount of time!
PROS- pigmented
variety of colors for any skin tone
compact
CONS- i dropped it once and the tin that is in came off the
plastic casing on the outside. (but its not a big deal because i could put it back in just as new :3

Today im going to do a review on Sonia Kashuk's Shimmer and Shine Brush Set. I bought this product with my own money located at any Target stores. First off I am a person that is sucker for packaging and just the look of the product itself. The first thing I noticed was the brush case because i LOVE! shiny, glittery, shimmery things! This set includes 4 brushes and one case.
 |
| Disregard the two end brushes x |

| Disregard the two end brushes |
I love that when you apply your makeup it doesn't feel rough to touch like my previous brushes. It is a perfect size to throw in your purse or backpack to touch up your makeup when you are out and about.
 |
| Accented with a white jewel on the zipper |
As a final word I would say to purchase this product soon because it is only available this holiday since it is a limited edition set! It is at an affordable price of $12.99USD and recently looked online is now available for $10.99. This is a perfect gift for anyone and to those who cannot buy higher end products right away like high school and college students!
Pro: afforable price
comes with a case
compact
soft brushes
Con: There is a bit of fall out but not a lot.
