Quick and Easy No Heat Hairstyles for School

Hello everyone! Being in school still myself, I wake up quite early. Most of the time I do not want to do elaborate hairstyles at 6:30 in the morning. I like to keep my hairstyles simple, quick, and easy, I don't like to use much heat on my hair since I am trying to grow it out and it really is damaging. Even though I try to keep my hair safe from heat, I also I don't want to walk the halls all day with a ponytail. Not only is keeping your hair in a ponytail on the back of your head everyday damaging, it's also not not usually flattering or attractive either (side note: if you wear your hair like this I'm not trying to offend you in anyway, it is just my opinion). So here are some of my hairstyles for school, or any occasion really! Some of my favorites include, pinning both sides back, a dutch braid on one side of my head, or a french twist on one side of my head!

Here's my YouTube video of three super easy and quick hairstyles! I hope this helps you out or inspires you to try out some no heat hairstyles!


I love you guys! Don't forget to subscribe and like my video if you enjoyed or learned anything new from it! I will be putting up more videos soon!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks

Hello everyone! So I have been trying out different drugstore lipsticks for awhile, and one of my favorites is the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks. They are cheaper than many drugstore lipsticks, and also a lot better quality.  I heard so much about them on YouTube, and also other blogs, and I see why so many people love them! They have amazing colors, and they stay on for quite a long time.

I have three so far and I love every one! I have the shades 109, which is a brighter coral color, 14 which is a muted pick nude, and 113, which is a orangey-nude. All of them are matte too which I love! Matte lipsticks are also great because with a little lip gloss, it can be shiny and transform your makeup look!

Lipsticks are a great way to spice up your everyday makeup look.

What's your favorite lipstick?

Autumn Must Haves

Hey everyone! It's getting colder out and that means sweaters, hot chocolate, boots, and much, much more! I love this wonderful season so much because I love layering, and pretty much everything else! And all the flattering colors (helloooo burgundy!). I love autumn fashion, it is so perfect and cozy! And I have a small obsession with fun mugs, hot chocolate, and snuggling up on the couch watching Halloween movies 
(anyone else?). Well anyways, to get on with it, here are a few of my autumn must haves!

Black Tights: Black tights are so flattering and they look great with a dress or skater skirt and a cardigan with some combat boots!

Over-sized sweaters/jumpers: These are my go-to clothing items for autumn. They are so comfortable and look good with everything! They can be dressed up or down, and are great for layering when it's colder!

Combat boots: Combat boots are great for just about everything. They look great with a dress or skirt, but also look great with skinny jeans or leggings! I wear mine with knitted knee-high socks pushed down to a little over the top of my boots.

Infinity Scarves: Scarves are a great way to keep warm and they also look great added on to any outfit! One of my favorite autumn outfits is a skater dress, cardigan, black tights, combat boots, an infinity scarf, and my hair in a messy bun. I love scarves for when I'm lazy and don't feel like spending much time on my hair.

Collared shirts: I love collared shirts buttoned all the way to the top with some disco pants or skinny jeans, and boots. I think they are flattering on anyone, and super comfy too!

Autumn is my favorite season for fashion. Layering and comfy clothes are my favorites! Thank you guys, love you all!

My Face Makeup Favorites

Hello everyone! I actually have some free time so I decided to make a post about some of my favorite face products! I have sensitive and fair skin so it is usually harder for me to find good face products that I love, and wont make my skin breakout or look orange. So here are some amazing face products that I absolutely love!


I love, love, love, my Tarte BB cream. I bought it in the summer so I would get a lighter coverage, while also not making my pale skin burn. This BB cream is amazing! I didn't have to use a primer and I got just the coverage I needed. It didn't fall down my face on hotter days either! It also has SPF 30, so my face didn't burn if I didn't apply sunscreen. Another product by Tarte I love is the setting powder. I got a sample of this with one of my purchases at Sephora and I probably will have to invest in a bigger version. The powder is white so I didn't know if it would show up on my skin like some other setting powders, but it is totally invisible! It also stays on all day which is a huge plus!


Something I have been using for a while now is the bareMinerals original foundation. My face isn't that oily so I didn't get the matte, but I have also heard great things about that one. My shade is fairly medium (C20). This is such a buildable powder and it lasts all day without primer!


Another face favorite of mine is my Erase Paste from Benefit. It has an amazing full coverage and it works perfectly for covering up spots. It lasts all day and doesn't irritate my skin either! I use it under my eyes and on spots and it really makes me look more awake. It is hands-down the best concealer I've used!


My favorite translucent powder is Rimmel Stay Matte by far! I heard so much about this powder on YouTube and I finally got it a while back. This powder is amazing. It makes my skin look great and it's an amazing price (3-4$ I think). If I'm having a more oily skin day I will just sweep this on over some foundation and I'm set. This powder is a miracle worker!


With my fair skin I like to add some color with bronzer. Almost everyday is a bronzer day for me! My favorite bronzer is the Two Faced Bronzer in "Sun Bunny". This bronzer is so easy to put on without it looking cakey and overdone. I love to contour with it because it's so easy to build. It looks so natural due to the reddish undertone which is sometimes hard to find in a bronzer! Also the Two Faced packaging is always so pretty and perfect. It's is by far my favorite bronzer ever!


And last but not least is blush. I don't usually wear much blush because my cheeks are naturally rosie, but if I wear a more fuller coverage foundation I will wear a little. My favorite has to be the Benefit "Rockateur" blush. It is so gorgeous! Especially on fairer skin tones! The only thing I find weird about this product is the smell. It's not bad, but it smells like perfume! Even with the interesting smell, t is so gorgeous and definitely my go-to blush!


I hope I helped some of you guys out if you were wondering about any of these products! I would honestly recommend any of these, they are definitely my go-to's. What are some of you face favorites?

Obsession: Urban Decay

My fairly recent obsession has been Urban Decay. I have widened my collection of Urban Decay products over time and I can honestly say I am in love with their makeup. I don't usually carry out a makeup routine, as what I like changes quite a bit, but I have used Urban Decay makeup almost everyday for awhile now.


Urban Decay Naked Palettes 1 and 2, Setting spray, and Primer Potion.

Probably the two most used of my favorite products that I have are the Urban Decay Naked Palettes for my eye make up (1 and 2). The colors may change from day to day, but the palettes are my go-to for eye shadow. The eye shadows are very pigmented and compliment skin tones and eye colors extremely well. The palettes are 50 dollars each, but they are so worth it. Another huge plus is when I was at Sephora they told me that when they measured the 18 dollar pot of eye shadow and one of the shades in the palette, that the shades in the palette are actually just about a hundredth of a gram less than the single shadows in the pots. So when you buy the palette, not only are you getting 12 amazing eye shadows (you also get a brush and lip gloss, or double-sided brush and primer potion depending on which palette you get), you are also getting a huge bargain.

Another favorite of mine is the primer potion. I always saw such good reviews on YouTube of the eye shadow primer, so I decided to try the little sample I got with my Naked palette.
The primer keeps my eye shadow on all day, and if I forget to take my make up off at night, (I know, not good.) it's even still on in the morning! I also never had any problems with creasing, which is a huge plus!

The All Nighter setting spray is also another one of my favorite products. I use this on hotter days when you don't want makeup sliding down your face, or if I am going to be somewhere for a long time and don't want the risk of needing to reapply any of my makeup. At first, I was curious if I should even splurge on something that I didn't know if it worked or not. So when I finally got myself to try it, I decided to buy the travel size, just to make sure I liked it before I splurged on the bigger one. Which I'm glad I bought the travel size because this stuff lasts forever! I love this spray, and it works so well! When I wear it my makeup doesn't fall down my face after a couple hours and I never have to reapply makeup.

If any of you guys reading this are wanting to try any of the Urban Decay products, or you have and you were wondering if the money is worth it, I would definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't already. I have fell in love with Urban Decay, and I'm sure you will too!
