Small Clothing Haul

Today I went shopping with my roommate in Soho. We hit up a few stores including Necessary Clothing and a few more boutique-y type places. I didn't go CRAZY, but I did buy a few things :) I thought I would share!

This top was from necessary clothing and I thought it was cute. It is A LOT cuter on than it is in this picture, but that goes for most clothing items. I tried on about 11 things from this store and this was the ONLY thing that looked decent. I felt like the whole store was designed for someone a whole foot shorter than me haha (I am 5'8, so I am tall!)

I love scarves in the winter - it is a good way to add a pop of bright color to your look so I got a few of these. I know it is not winter right now but it will be soon enough! And I go to school in a pretty cold place - the winters are icy and brutal! 

These were my FAVORITE find!! I'm sure lots of you have these, but they are little bandeau tops that you can wear under tanks or shirts that come down too low in the front. They aren't bras but you can wear them over strapless to give you more coverage under a low cut top. They had them in EVERY color at necessary clothing, and the best part is - they are only $3.99 each! Score! I might do a video talking about this because it is one of those tricks that REALLY save my life sometimes. 

I also got a few accessories - a black stretchy belt and 2 bracelets :) Yay for a successful shopping day! AND I rode the subway for the first time.. which was quite the experience. I definitely see how it is the quickest/cheapest way to get around NY but it was slightly scary :/

4th of July Makeup Tutorial

Hey everyone! Happy 4th of July Eve! So today I decided to film a tutorial on 4th of July Makeup, but unfortunately it did not come out very well. My bathroom setup washes me out really badly, and this was the first time I had tried to film a colorful look there. Let's just say it did NOT work. I miss my bedroom at school so much - colorful looks always come out well there :(

Anyway I have decided to turn it into a blog post so that it would not be completely wasted. I basically did white on the inner corners, red on the outer corners, and blue underneath with navy liner. I will list all the products I used.

• I first used Fascinating Eye Kohl from Mac, which is just a white eyeliner. You can use whatever you have lying around your bathroom (this goes for ALL the products in this look). I applied this all over the inner half of my eye, then rubbed it in. 
  
• Next I used Artifact paint pot from mac, a deep red base on the outer corner of my eyes. 
  
• I applied a white shimmery eyeshadow (Naked Cosmetics Mother Nature 1) over the white base and a red shimmery eyeshadow (MUFE star powder in 921) over the red part.
• I used a deep blue shimmery shadow (Naked Cosmetics Ebony 2) under my eyes.
  
• For Liner I used Navy Stain from Mac on both the upper line and the waterline.
• For a inner corner highlight and my brow highlight color I used Naked Cosmetics Ivory 6, which is a gorgeous white with blue duocrome. 
• For gloss I used Macs Underage for just a neutral pink. 

And then we are done! I like the way this turned out, I wish the video had been alright. Have a great 4th of July everyone!

In's and Out's 4

I love reading everyone's In's and Out's, so here are mine :)

In's:

• Summer - I love summer, but unfortunately it has rained the whole summer here in NYC. Nevertheless, I still love not having classes! 
• Glitzy-Glam getting a new "face" very shortly! We hired a guy to design us a new look, more professional, for the site. I will twitter it as soon as it goes live, of course!
• Which reminds me, I am loving twitter right now too! I have been on upload overload - I hope you guys aren't getting tired of my constant pointless updates lol!
• Honey Lust mixed with Amber Lights and a little All That Glitters all over the lid with mulch in the crease - gorgeous neutral summery look.
• True Blood - the show from HBO. It's for sure not "kid friendly" but since I love Twilight so much I have gotten into this show. I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed The Tudors, but since I finished that show up until next season I need a new fix.
• BlogTV - my new obsession
• The fact that I have put up about 4 blog posts today - I think that is a record. Yes - it is haha :)
• Cream de la mer face cream
  

Out's:

• The Weather - its gross here 80% of the time haha.
• Being homesick - I am both homesick for my home (my cats, family, swimming pool, and moms cooking) and my school home (my roomies and my cute little bedroom and kitten). It is going to be SO WEIRD going back to that bedroom after being gone for so long but I feel like that is more my "home" than anywhere else. I am currently living in like 3 states haha - and I have bedrooms in 4. That is odd. 
• Not being able to put up as many videos as I want to, because I am working so much. At school I was able to do about 1 every other day, but here I am lucky to get 2 up a week. One will be up tomorrow for sure!
• The fact that I have been meaning to get my toes done for 3 weeks and still haven't. I do them myself all the time but I think getting a good pedicure every few months is completely crucial for pretty feet :)

If anyone wants to write me your Ins and Outs I would love to read them!

I'm in Seventeen Magazine!!!

Hey everyone!!! Here are the pics of my from the August issue of Seventeen Magazine - one of my twitter followers was sweet enough to scan it for me :) You guys should go check it out to see more youtube gurus, including my sister. I'm gonna talk about this in my June Favs video, but this way you see it before then! HOW EXCITING!! I was literally DYING to tell you guys - I have known about this since MARCH!!!! 

My 4th of July Weekend

I can't believe it is getting close to 4th of July already! This summer is speeding by - don't you hate it when that happens? I feel like the winter months creep on by, and then summer goes like a racehorse. Today is Thursday, and I have spent my whole day doing laundry and watching the show True Blood. I was thinking... what was I doing last year at this time?

Well let me tell you. Last year I found YouTube right around the beginning of July. I posted my first video on July 21st, but it was so bad I took it down, and then put another one up on July 23rd. From there I kept going and now... well now I am sitting here writing to all you guys! 

Today is a rainy day in NYC, so I am just laying around relaxing. Tomorrow I am going to put up my June favs video (I know haha, it's already July but whatever) and then film a 4th of July look that will go up Saturday. Saturday my roomie and I are planning on going shopping and then watching the fireworks. Maybe one day this weekend I will do another BlogTV - the last one was fun.

What are all your plans for July 4th? Maybe if you have cool ones I can live vicariously through you :) BTW, has anyone gone out and bought the August Seventeen Magazine?! Flip it open to see a huge picture of my face! 

One more thing - I am inching closer to 60,000 subscribers - I am going to do a contest as soon as I hit that! I will probably have Coastal Scents and Glitzy Glam prices  - everyone seems happy with those usually. 

Okay I am going to continue laying around lol...

Long Update and New Love

Hey everyone!

Long time no post huh? I figured I would give a quick update. I am still in New York for the summer for my internship - and I am loving it! It's quite an exciting place to be for the summer. There are LOADS of exciting stuff going on in my life right now. 

1) Lollipop26 from YouTube is coming to visit me in two weeks - we have been planning a get together for AGES! We are planning a spa day and tons of makeup shopping. We MIGHT do a NYC meet and greet, but we aren't positive how we feel about that yet (what if creepy creepertons came?). We are currently both going through  whirlwind of present buying for each other :)

2) I am going through a complete "Love YouTube" mode right now. We all go through phases where we aren't feeling it, and then we are, and then we get bored with it again, but right now is a peak time for me loving it. Expect my June favs tomorrow or Wednesday (lets hope for tomorrow!).

3) I have found the love of my life (no, not a boy...) 

Creme de la mer moisturizing cream. Yes it IS terribly expensive - but honestly, I would be willing to spend my last bit of money on good skin. What is more important than good facial skin (unless you are going without food for this, or have kids that need the money)? Expect a review on this product soon - it is love for me. 

Videos coming up soon:

June Favorites

Tanning Video - might have to re-film, camera issues

Night Time Skin Routine

Possibly more fashion/styling videos/accessories

Tutorial Featuring Naked Cosmetics - I sure bought enough of it!

So anyway, I hope you guys are having an amazing Monday night/Tuesday morning. Goodnight!

P.S. What would you guys think of a weekly BlogTV? Would people be interested? 

My recent Forever 21 fashion haul

So this post is going to be super long, but whatever! Last night I went shopping online at forever21.com and so I figured I would share what I bought! My total was around $250, but for all I got I thought that was a super good deal! All of these items should still be available if you want to pick one up for yourself. A word to the wise though, forever 21 is really weird fitting sometimes, so if you buy online just be aware that you might have to return some things, and you can only return the items by sending it back through the mail, unless you just want store credit. I am thinking that at LEAST one item won't work out and I will have to do a return. I will write the name and price under each item, as well as why I like it :) Enjoy! 

Lace Trim Chiffon Top: $19.80

I just think this is a super flirty, girly top. This was the first item that grabbed me on the site, and after deciding to get this my shopping cart just kept expanding. I love the buttons on the front - lovely detailing. What color shorts would this look best with? Charcoal? Black? 

Babydoll Colorblock dress in Grey and Purple: $12.50

I bought this one in two colors because it is super cute!! Plus for the price, why not? I am really hoping this one works for me, I really am in love with it. These would be great to wear to work this summer for my internship too paired with low heels or ballet flats and some cute accessories. 

Fab Colorblock Pleat Dress: $12.50

I bought this one because I love it, but unfortunately strapless dresses never work for me. I couldn't help myself though.. I am really hoping this one works! 

Colorblock Tank Dress: $15.80

I already own this in grey, but I just really like it for work. Paired with some gold jewelry and cute shoes you could really dress it up, and its very classy. 

Crochet Cotton Dress: $22.80 

I love the detailing on the top part of this dress. I got this just cause I liked it, but I wish it had come in other colors other than black. Oh well, black looks good on me :)

Ginette Chiffon Top: $17.80

I just love the colors and style of this one. 

Simple Knit Skirt: $7.80

Everyone needs a basic black pencil skirt right? (I already have one from american apparel, but whatever!)

Satin Bow Front Skirt: $15.80

Oooh, I love this one... I really hope it fits! 

Here is an entire outfit I bought, taken from one of the models on the website - I love it! The shirt, shorts, bangles, and ring are all a part of it.

Wooden Bead Chiffon Tunic: $27.80

Look at the beading! I love this top so much.. I hope it fits well!

Cheyna Cuffed Short: $17.80

Basic Charcoal shorts - I didn't have any in this color

Thin Dimpled Bangle Set: $5.80

I wouldn't have bought these if I had gold bangles already but I didn't, so I got them!

Side Dimpled Stone Ring: $4.80

Love this ring, and it goes with the outfit perfectly! And so cheap!

Here are some pieces of jewelry I got, I love how cheap everything is on this site! 

Mesh Flower Pearl Necklace: $5.80

Pearl and Chain Knot Necklace: $7.80

Large Flower ring: $4.80
Gemstone Necklace: $4.80
Mixed Charm Necklace: $7.80
Rhinestone Cluster Ring: $4.80

Rhinestone Droplet Earrings: $4.80

Pleather Box Boddy Pins: $2.80

Fab Satin Bow Bobby Pins: $1.50

I also bought these in cream and hot pink, I love little bows!

Review on Revlon Fantasy Lengths Lashes

Every girl loves false eyelashes right? Honestly, I am the type of person who would love to wear falsies every day but they are too much of a hassle. You have to put glue on them, not too much but not too little, let it get tacky, and then place it JUST SO on your lash line so that you don't get glue all over your eye (which always happens to me). Well that problem seems to be solved, since recently I discovered Revlon's lashes with the glue already on the lash. You can buy these at drugstores and anywhere Revlon is sold. These sell for about $5.99.

They come with the lashes, an additional strip of glue for each eye, and a plastic piece to help push the lashes down far on your lash line. They actually feel a lot more sturdy on the eye than I would have though, and seem to be less irritating than the glue on ones (maybe because I tend to get the glue in my eye...). These will stay on all night, no problem, and are sticky enough that if you mess up you can peel them off and reapply them without risking them losing their consistency. 

Here is a picture of me wearing these lashes:

Here is this tutorial:

Overall, I give these lashes 5 stars. These are my lashes of choice at the moment, and I will be 

using them again. They are also perfect for on the go glamour, since you can just throw them in 

your bag without the hassle of glue. If you get them, let me know what you think!
