Makeup Do's and Dont's for School

Hey girls! So today I wanted to talk to you about some do's and don't for school makeup. Typically, you want to keep your makeup for school pretty neutral but there are always fun ways to spice it up! Also, you never want to over do your makeup. Anyways lets get started!!

Do: plan out your makeup routine the night before. I know I alternate between my makeup looks so usually I plan what I'm going to do and set out the products I'm going to use the night before so I'm not rushing in the morning,

Don't:  match your makeup to your clothes. Doing this will make you look like a total newbie in makeup. The farthest you should go in matching is if your wearing cool/black/grey tones where a smoky eye with black/grey/cool colors and if your wearing browns/warms wear a brown/gold/warm eye. Matching your clothes to your eyeshadows sometimes will look really childish. Your makeup should bring out your facial features not emphasize your clothing choices.

Do: make sure to get a lot of sleep. Makeup will always look prettier on a face that's bright, rested, and full of energy.

Don't: cake on layers and layers of makeup for school. Under the school lights, it's really obvious when a girl has a ton of makeup on. And you want your makeup to stay looking nice all day, so keeping it light and natural will look a lot prettier than it being caked on. Like for me, the only face makeup I wear to school is powder and concealer or blush when needed.

Do: pick one facial feature to focus on. School is not the place to wear a dark dramatic smoky eye and a bright lip. If you ar emore dramatic or outgoing with your makeup, pick one day to do a bright lip and a down-stated eye and another day to do a dark smoky eye and a nude lip.

Don't: try and hide your makeup from your parents. I know girls who their parents only let them wear makeup on special occasions, and so they sneak their makeup to school put it on and then take it off before they get home. It's just not worth it, instead try talking to your parents and asking them to consider the idea of letting you wear makeup to school. It's a much better idea than sneaking behind their backs because than, when you're caught, your parents will never trust you and they probably won't ever let you wear makeup again.


Thanks for reading guys!! Comment some of your do's or don'ts for school makeup! Or even just makeup in general! xoxo Kayla

My Favorite Fall Trends

hey guys! so I know it's been a while :( I'm so sorrry it's totally not intentional it's just without like pictures i always feel weird. Like I would plan to do hauls or reviews but i don't have any pictures to go with them :( but good news! The itouch 5 is coming out in October and i am most probably getting it! So as soon as I have it there will be more posts with pictures and what not. But until then, you'll have to just bare with me and stay patient :) Anyways lets get started!

• first, all the layers! tights, jackets, scarves, the whole shebang!
• warm pretty colors in everything! the dark reds, warm coppery colors, warm golds, all of those fall colors are just so beautiful and I feel like they flatter everyone! 
• bolder makeup. I love how when it turns from summer to fall people move from wearing no makeup to wearing dark, shimmery, sultry colors! And how you can combine a warm wine-colored lip with a dark shimmery gold it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. along with all these new looks comes a billion and one new tutorials to watch on youtube! Go and check them out there are already soooo many!
• cold weather, now i actually have a love hate relationship with the cold. Like, I would take being cold over being sweaty and oily, but also, i hate being cold. Like it makes me sleepy and hungry. is that weird?? I really don't know.
• BOOTS!!!! Ahhhh i love boots. And you really can only wear them in the cold seasons (minus cowboys boots those can be worn year round) Like I've been counting down the days to break out my UGGs, I've been so excited! Also, I've been looking for a pair of wedged, ankle cut, lace up booties. Preferably in the chestnut-dark brown range? If you know where to get some for around 30$ or under please leave a comment below or email me!
• Along with boots comes socks! I really like how sweater socks look under riding boots with a pair of skinny jeans, so cute!
• loose clothes :) along with the cold, people stop wanting to wear like a much "revealing" clothing, like tanktops, short shorts, that kinda stuff. And because it's just so cold, its nice to just be comfortable and cute :)
• Fall fragrances! It's time to being out all you vanilla and caramel scented perfumes, body washes, lotions, shampoos everything! The warm scents fit in perfectly with the new season.

Well that's all for today  :) I'll try to post some more within the next couple of weeks :)

I'M SO SORRY

okay so I know it's been a while since i posted and i have a totally valid reason!!!

okay so like two or three weeks ago, i went to my friend's, brother's birthday party and i took my ipod. I put it in her room to charge since everybody was outside in the back yard. and that night when we came in i couldnt find it and i just assumed i misplaced it and went to bed. wwe looked for it all day the next day and couldn't find it. So...ya my ipod was stolen :( sucks right? And as some of you know, i use my ipod as my camera. and since i havn't had a camera, i havnt been able to take ANY pictures :( so all of my posts i planned with pictures were canceled becuz i can't take them. alsooooo, i don't know if any of you other bloggers have this problem, but when i'm on google chrome, my dashboard doesn't load all the way, it won't show me my pageviews and stuff, and it won't load the edit page to write posts. so yeah that's been another problem. ALSO i am so swamped from school :( like seriously its ridiculous. but anyways on the bright side, i should be posting sometime soon, no pictures sadly :( but i'll try tp keep posting.

xoxo kayla :)

First Day of School Outfit, Hair and Makeup

Hey guys so today was my first day of school as a freshman. It was lots of fun so I decided to show you guys what I wore and how my hair and makeup was. :)

Okay so the top is from Rue 21 it has lace detailing on the shoulders and back. It came with a skinny crocheted and leather dark brown belt(like a skinny version of the one i'm wearing) but I decided to wear this thicker belt instead. I have on a pair of brown leggins and a pair of heeled short slouchy boots, both are from Rue 21 too. My bag is a medium brown leather bag from Claire's. I curled my hair using conair curlers (the pink ones) , Treseme firm hold mousse, and Big Sexy hairspray. Sadly by the end of the day most of my curls had fallen and were either waves or pin straight again :/ if you have any tips or products that make your hair last all day please leave a comment below. On my eyes if have Urban Decay primer potion, then NYX jumbo eye pencil in cottage cheese. I used the naked palette for eye look. In  the inner corner I have sin, than sidecar all over the lid. I have buck in the crease with a darker matte brown from my Coastal Scents warm palette in my outer corner. I lined my eyes with MAC fluidline in Black track and Maybeline Line Stiletto over it. I curled my lashes and them applied Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! followed by the L'Oreal Extra Collagen Voluminous. On my cheeks I have Benefit's Coralista and on my lips I have a DIY lip tint make out of vaseline and an old blush. 

Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll probably do another outfit of the day tomorrow if I take a picture of what I'm wearing. I already picked it out and it's sooooo cute so I can't wait to share it with you guys! Comment below on how your first day of school went(whenever it was) or what your looking forward to the most in school if you havn't started school yet. Thanks guys!! xoxo Kayla

Things Mom's Don't Tell You About: Choosing Your Underwear

Hey guys, so this isn't to make anyone feel like awkward, or make anyone think I'm like a slut or anything. It's just going to be about how to choose your underwear according to whatever your wearing. Bras and panties. Okay, so yea I just hate it when  I can like see the pattern of a girl's bra through her shirt, or I see panty lines or someone's undies peekin' out above the belt. Cuz' even though some girl's may think it's attractive, it's not. It gives off the wrong impression and hey, that's not good, so let's get started.

Push Up bras- okay, everybody knows what a push-up bra is. If not, it's a bra with extra padding in the  cup so that your boobs look bigger. Generally push up bras are used when you want the extra oomf LMAO. But depending on the amount of padding, you can wear them for different things. Like for one, Victoria's Secret sells wear everywhere push up bras. They're meant to literally be worn everywhere and with anything. And like, don't think bad of people who wear  push up bras. Like, I wear them all the time, cause I'm small chested I mean, it's really not thst pig of a deal. I honestly think every girl needs at least one push up bra in their wardrobe just for special occasions.

Demi Bras/Shelf Bras- Okay, demi means half. And that's exactly what these kinds of bras are, they're only half of a cup. So pretty much they're a lot more revealing. These are definitely more for really really low cut tops and those nights with a special someone ;)

Multi-Way Bras- okay every girl needs one of these. End of discussion. lol just kidding, don't go out and buy one just cuz I say so. But they are a bonus to have. These are the bras that you can un-hook the straps from and wear them strapless, crisscrossed, one strapped, halter, low back, like pretty much anything you can think of. Generally you don't want to get these in like some fun pattern, first you need one in flesh toned, and then maybe black and white. Victoria's Secret has a great one called the Heartbreaker! Push-up plunge multi way. I have it and it works great! It comes with the two adjustable straps, a pair of leopard bikini straps so you can make it look like you have a bathing suit on, and a low back strap.

Wireless Bras- Wireless bras are good for beginners and to lounge in. I personally don't like them because I feel weird without the wire but a lot of people do like them. They're also very comfy to sleep in.

Sports bras- Okay sports bras is my one exception to bras with crazy patterns. They're super comfy and nice to lazy day in. But they do tend to make you look flat. You can buy padded ones and push-ups though.

Bikini Undies-These are the basics. The underwear every girl has been wearing since they were itty bittys. They're good for pretty much anything but sometimes they look leave panty lines.

Boyshorts- these are for the more conservative or sporty girl. They provide full coverage and you can get them in seamless and no show. I think every girl has these too, they're pretty basic.

Thongs- they're are a lot of opinions about thongs. In my opinion, they're just underwear. Thongs are definitely the pick if you don't want panty lines. I mean they're are some pieces of clothing that unless you do wear one, your going to have panty lines no matter what. Like bodycons, leggings, anything tight like that. They're are different types for different things so yeah. Don't be scared to buy them or ask for them, its just underwear. It's really no big deal.

Okayyy so that's it for today, I hope you guys enjoyed :) If you have any questions comment below or email me. My email is in one of my other posts from like a week ago. Thanks guys, love you! xoxo Kayla

Surviving Middle School (for girls)

Okay, so I'm going to be a freshman next week. So I've lived through middle school and I know how nervous I was when I first entered. My middle school is grades 6-8. For some people middle school is one of the worst experiences in their school life.  And I know my personal experiences were full of ups and downs  and lots of complications and tears. But there were also tons of smiles and laughs. So this this for all you girls out there about to enter middle school, or maybe your already in middle school, whichever it is, this is for you. 

• Okay first, just be yourself. That's my best tip. Don't try and change yourself for anybody. You'll make it through middle school much better if you're just yourself.
• Pick the right crowd- try to find people who are like you. Try to avoid people who like drama, it's just not safe. Don't try to get in with the 'cool crowd' because trust me, they probably aren't even that cool. Try to be friends with everyone, I know having friends from different 'cliques' helped a lot in middle school because we changed classes every hour. So we had different people in every class, so it was best to be friends with everybody instead of just certain people so that you won't be that awkward person without a partner on an assignment. 
• Stay organized!!! My language arts teacher always drilled this into our heads: middle school is where the real work starts. Once your in highschool all the fun and games stop and you need to focus on keeping your grades up for your GPA. Middle school is the best place to start getting organized. The best way is to thing everything separated. Have a different binder for each subject, just go ahead and make things easy on yourself by getting good at organization in middle school.
• Okay, so this is the time when everybody's body is changing....lol. Girls are getting more curvaceous, boys going through voice changes and lots of new hormones, also, girls are starting their periods. Now I know this might be awkward, but really you need to listen. This is a good time to start showering every day, if you don't already. You don't have to wash your hair every day but definitely shower. Get some deodorant, you'll probably start shaving so get a good razor and shaving cream, and get a nice face wash. You're hormones are going to be changing too, so make sure to take care of your skin so you don't have acne. 
• If you start wearing makeup, which I did in 7th or 8th grade, keep it light and simple. Also, keep it cheap. When you're first getting into makeup, don't go out and spend hundreds of dollars on makeup. You don't know how your skin is going to react to the makeup so don't spend a ton on makeup you may not end up using. Also, don't use an insane amount of makeup. In my opinion, all you should need is some mascara, some eyeliner, maybe some eye shadow, and blush. Keep the colors natural and pretty. Don't go and wear bright purple eye shadow and blue eyeliner. It's going to look like you're trying to grow up to fast.
• Okay so, I know, now that you're older, you wanna boyfriend. I didn't get my first boyfriend untill the end of seventh grade. I  think that was a good time, plus my parents allowed it. Talk to your parents about it. If they don't think you're ready, than don't push it. And don't get a boyfriend just because you think it's cool. And if I guy who you've barely ever talked to asks you out, say no. Pick someone who you have a friendship with, that way, when you break up you can just go back to being friends. Also (I had this problem with a few friends) don't go out looking for a future husband. Because guess what? You're probably not going to find him. When you're young, dating should be just to have fun. Not anything that's going to last forever. I mean yes, I had a relationship that lasted around six months, but it's not like I planned it. And the boys, they aren't looking for wives, they're looking for fun. Don't convince yourself that some boy is 'the one' or that you're 'in love' because you are too young to know what that kind of love is. And if a guy is telling you he loves you after two days of dating, don't get caught up in it, because it's not really love.
• So now's here's a little bit of a more serious topic. Don't let anybody push you to do anything. Whether its sex,drugs, lying, cheating, whatever. I know at my middle school, drugs was something that wasn't unheard of. Lot's of kids did it, I had friends who did it. They'd get high, drunk, whatever. I've watched people tear apart their lives for stupid things. My parents always get onto me about drugs, and so I always answer the same thing. "Drugs make you ugly." And it's true, you know those meth commercials? They aren't kidding. Drugs will mess up your inside and outside. So just don't do it. Also, don't ever let some guy push you into doing something you're not ready to do. Don't ever let yourself get into a situation where your vulnerable, either. Stay in groups, going on dates alone is awkward anyways.

Okay so I think I covered everything :) If you have any questions or want to talk to me about anything you can leave a comment down below or email me. My email is in my last post called "Contact Me" creative right? Lol anyways I hope I helped everyone who's going into middle school. Some of the things I mentioned may not be an issue at your school, but this was all from my personal experience. love you guys! xoxo Kayla
