Katy Perry: Music, Makeup (tutorial) and Insight

This post is dedicated to the talented Katy Perry; She is my girl crush, and yes I would love to be her for one day. Since I can't be her I'll just do makeup that looks fairly similar to hers (tutorial above!).

I ran by this post on hellogiggles.com about Katy's insight to pretty much everything from sex to love to cherry chapstick. I feel this post is perfect to quote for my Katy Perry themed tutorial, since she is amazing.  See her movie! Believe me you will love her that much more.

 Here are my favorite parts of the post:
Please Keep in Mind I did not write this the credit goes to Jessica Tholmer.


1. When you are in love, you’ll be young forever.It is basically like taking a sip out of that Tuck Everlasting (does anyone else remember how hot Jonathan Jackson is/was?) water. Though when you are in love, you really do feel young forever. The whole being-single-and-not-in-love thing is how you start feeling old. (Enter my best friend’s eye roll.)


 4. If it’s not like the movies, that’s how it should be.
Here’s the deal: I am the most cinematically driven person maybe ever. If something resembles a plotline in a movie, I am so in—even if it is my own love life (it always is) and I gripe about it (I always do) and I talk about how I wish my boys would just man up and put a ring on it (Beyoncé reference—sorry Katy), even though I don’t actually wish that because I am a a terrible commitment-phobe and if I got hitched too soon in life, I would get bored and probably end up in a Closer situation.

7. Do not settle for second best.Just between us dear readers, I will tell you a secret: the song “Thinking of You” made me cry when I saw Katy live last summer. The entire auditorium looked like a live version of Candy Land, but I could not stop the tear flow ’cause I fo sho relate to this song like nobody’s business.

July Glam Bag! High Points and Low Points!

My Artsy Glambag Photo

I received my July GlamBag today and for those and aren't sure what Myglam is; it is essentially a subscription service in which you pay $10 a month for a small bag filled with sample to full size products. I've been on the subscription since a little after it began and while some months are worse than others, I was pleasantly surprised by this months bag.

I'll start with my low points because quite frankly I don't have very many:

• The Buxom lip gloss while still an amazing sample to get was not a flattering shade for me, I already have deathly pale lips, this lip gloss in Leslie just made them look deathly and sparkly a la Twilight.

• The NUME Hydropunch conditioner has a very masculine/sporty scent. While I don't mind it, I can think of this being a reason as to why people don't buy it.

Now for the high points:

Juice Beauty Green Apple Moisturizer

• This is by far my favorite MyGlam bag simply because the bag itself is a nice mesh texture that does not hold that factory plastic smell.

• The Juice Beauty Green Apple Moisturizer smells wonderfully of...citrus. I love that so far about this sample because green apple smell could make me nauseous and the citrus scent is more rejuvenating.

• I was super excited when I received the Yes to Cucumber Face Towelettes (I've been eyeing them at Walgreens) I actually tried one yesterday thanks to my friend Michelle and fell in love with the scent so I will most definitely be using these sparingly so they last! Want to know the best part? They gave me a package holding 10 Towelettes which to me is FANTASTIC!

• Last but certainly not least is the full size Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color in Somersault. I'm a big fan of Andrea's channel and receiving this beautiful creamy yellow nail polish made this GlamBag that much more wonderful!

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed receiving this GlamBag! I think it was smart on their end to give us Summer friendly products! Before I end the blog I want to thank a good friend of mine Jennifer for creating the new heading of my blog!

Are any of you subscribed to a beauty box? If so, which one? How do you like the subscription so far?

No Makeup Bag Equals Desperate Times

Most people who own makeup usually keep the same products and use them consistently. Now, this isn't my attempt to brag about how much makeup I have. Even with all the products I own,  I have a small case filled with my favorite products that I use daily. It just so happens that I have left my case at my boyfriend's house.

It was when he was driving me home that I realized my makeup case was 20 minutes away and it was just too late to turn around. I silently cursed myself for the rest of the ride. This morning I cursed myself even more because I was planning on filming a makeup tutorial. I could have just used the makeup I keep in my storage department (a.k.a. my suitcase). It just was not happening. 

After rummaging through my shadows, blush palettes and the extra face products I couldn't get over parting  with my Origins SPF15 Moisturizer and  Urban Decay Naked Palette . Or even the fact that ALL of my makeup brushes were left behind! I wanted to cry because blending your eye shadow with your finger is not as easy as everyone makes it seem, or maybe my fingers are just too wide. In these desperate times I will just have to do my tutorial later, all the makeup in the world is no good to me without my brushes...

Blushing, Kissing, and a lot of Makeup

It is that most delicious moment, the one where you are so close that even his breathing can cause your knee's to buckle. The unforgettable first kiss, it doesn't matter how many first kisses you have but each and every time it is new and exciting but from the outside, it is the same as any other kiss. That feeling happens to me everyday, that glow from within comes to me, in the form of...Makeup. You read that right. Lipstick, Blush, Bronzer, Eyeshadow, Foundation, the list goes on and on but each product I have purchased or been given has made my heart hiccup and has made me jollier than Santa Clause. Ask anyone who knows me, my best friends will say i'm sick in the head and OBSESSED with makeup. I am obsessed but it is my hobby and passion, not some man( that would be a problem). I hope this gives you a little insight of what I am like, I hope you are interested to see how my affair with makeup progresses. 

Is there anything that makes your heart swell with happiness? A person? A hobby?
