 I HAVENT HAD TIME TO UNPACK sorry

This is my version of the UNIF twerk jeans because I refuse to pay that much

new apartment living solo

I have finally gotten to do what I've always wanted: live alone. with my cat. It's always been my dream and I FINALLY GET TO. I'm also excited because it has so much natural lighting (my other apartment was like a windowless, soulless cave). I could never really take outfit pictures or anything because there was no light. Now I so much light and can do more outfit posts. I can do my makeup in natural lighting and every thing, ahhhhhhhhhh I'm just so happy. 

I licked a spoon and put it back in the drawer today because guess what I CAN. No one can tell me otherwise. I've also been butt ass naked every day I love it (yes, with the blinds open I do not care). 

I can't wait to get the furniture I want and decorate it all cute. 2014 has literally been the worst year of my life so far, i kind of hit rock bottom. It's true what they say, you have to hit your worst to become your best. This is such a turning point I feel like my life is finally becoming what I've always wanted it to be.  Sappy sappy

So look forward to many many things from me for now on...

I'm sure you care so much 

I'll stop buying makeup someday

 I've been making daily trips to Ulta.  Sorry but not really

Maybelling instant age rewind dark circle eraser: Just picked up another this is a staple of mine, except I got it in the palest color because i reallllly wanna highlight the under eye if you know what I mean

L'oreal Miss Manga mascara: I needed a new mascara and saw this new one. It's okay honestly 

Lorac POREfection mattifying face primer: I wanted to get something different other than porefessional just because I've used that for along time. I really like it it keeps my face matte for a long time 

NYX matte lipstick in Indie Flick: Been wanting an orangey red color, love it. This is the first matte nyx lipstick I've used and damn they're good!

NYX buttergloss in Creme Brûlée: This is also my first butter gloss and damn they're good too

L'oreal true match Lumi healthy luminous makeup: I wanted to get a drugstore foundation so that I didn't have to use my make up forever every day since it's expensive, and I realllllly like this

Real Techniques expert face brush: I was kinda over my other brush and decided to get this one since every one uses it, it's good.   

(wow my reviews are so descriptive) 

Real Techniques blush brush: I needed a new blush brush since SOMEONES dog chewed up my other one and wow I had been using an elf one and thought it was alright, but this one makes all the difference

Rimmel Natural bronzer: I've been needing a new bronzer for a while, and although I really want Nars laguna (one day) I decided to just get a cheap matte one and this one does the trick

Beauty Blender: needed a new one anyways but yet again someone's dog chewed up my other one. I got the pro one just cause it's black

Maybelline color tattoo shadow in bad to the bronze and barely branded: I've seen a lot of people on youtube use these esp bad to the bronze, and I love them. They don't budge throughout the day and they're a really good base 

and last but not least...

Eco Tools face contour brush: As I was looking for new brushes I came across this one and instantly thought of the Nars one that's ALWAYS sold out (and also expensive) and decided to give it a whirl. I'm really bad at contouring, like...really bad.  I didn't have too much hope for this brush but omg..it's so good. Even a baby could carve their cheek bones with this. Very good dupe for the Nars one.. and for $11 bucks 

chiffon

american apparel pants/ H&M bralette/ Matisse Footwear sandals

Casually strolling down the streets in my wide leg chiffon pants...I never wear these and completely forget about them. But oh do I love them. Is anyone else 100% over this heat? Because I was in May.

I Get Down To Beat Poetry

Joggers: Forever 21 Crop: She Inside Sandals: Forever 21 Bag: Monki via Asos

I'm listening to Brooklyn Baby on repeat hence the title. Sooo good, my favorite thus far.  

I love this crop from She Inside. It's the first thing i've gotten from there, and ONE SIZE kind of freaks me out so I was nervous. It was a struggle to get this over my big ass head. Also, been in these joggers for a few weeks now literally all the time. Love them. I got them with the shoes to go together particularly so you'll be seeing me in this combo a lot. 

Sephora Pick Ups & Minimal Sandal Obsession

Quick lil post on what I picked up at Sephora recently. I'm currently in a (real) city that has one close by, so I went in and took a gander. I really needed new powder & primer and came out with neither. I actually went around just remembering things to go home and order because..well..internet? 

I did, however, get this mask I've had in my basket for a while. I couldn't decide between this one or the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask and this one was cheaper so... 

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask

I've used it twice already and love it omg it like sucked all the shit out of my pores. Most of the blackheads of my nose are gone. So glad I got it. 

I was in line and going through all those mini things because I love mini things. I usually pick at least one thing in line just to try it. I got this lip chap which I've heard a lot of people use and love and..uhm..I can't express how obsessed I am It STAYS on my lips I'm constantly putting it on. I don't like rose things AT ALL or any floral scents for that matter but it's nice; I got the mint one because I prefer mint on my lips 

Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm

as if I need anymore lip chap I have like 100 sticks. One day I'll stop saying lip chap but now right now.

So i've been super into the minimal sandal thing, I like minimal anything really. These are my newest ones

Gap & Matisse Footwear

Forever 21

They're all so comfortable ESP the forever 21 ones. I'll be wearing those with pretty much every thing, heads up.

(end of) April Wishlist

April went by so fast, but heres some things I've been wanting this month. A select few of the many things I always want..  (want want want)

1.) ASOS Ridley Jeans: I've seen so many bloggers with these and I know I'm late but I'm hopping on the bandwagon 

2.) Canon 50mm lens 

3.) ASOS black sandals

4.) American Apparel Gym Bag: I desperately need a new duffle bag mine is ripping from its straps and I've been traveling more + it's a good carry on  

5.) ASOS Pink Duster Coat: I'm all about these right now 

6.) Cleated Sole Platform Heels:  they're sold out in white but I shall wait till they return. I have an outfit in my head and it may or may not have to do with the pick coat

Easter Minus Pastels

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I hung out with my family all day which I never do, it was fun. Easter and Valentines candy is my favorite.  My mom always gets us a basket (I hope she always does) because I'm a little kid. She also get me new succulents because for the second time, I managed to kill all of mine. She's going to help me raise them right and give them a good life. 

Here's what I wore to church

 Dress: Topshop | Shoes: Zara | Clutch: Charming Charlies

And this is what Oscar wore.
