I just want to apologize for not posting as often as I would have liked this past week. As you know, I got sick last Thursday and I've been sick ever since. I tried to tough it out and continue working and going to school but my cold kept getting worse. Started losing my voice on Wednesday and I couldn't talk for the next two days. Today I'm actually able to talk and I had a final exam in Chemistry today. I've literally been in bed for the past few days. I feel like this cold is never going to end. I've been sick for at least 10 days. So I just want to apologize for not having pulled through with all the looks I promised, but I will get everything done when I feel better, hopefully by this week.
But for today I'm starting off with a look from Urban Decay's Naked2 Palette and I'm complementing that with some of the Stila products I ordered. You can view the Stila Haul here. I feel like I look super horrible in these pictures but I'm still posting. I want to know what you think of the look and the new stuff I bought and I'll be asking specific questions at the end of the post and I'd love to hear your comments and thoughts.
For later today, I want to try doing mermaid waves with my straightener. I might not necessarily post this today, but once I get the technique right I'll post some pics.
And nails!! I finally took off the nail polish I've been wearing for the last two months (red) and I'm going to be trying out one of the kits I got for my birthday. So look forward to a nail post coming really soon!!
Now for today's Smokey Saturday I'm doing a look from the Urban Decay Naked2 palette and pairing it up with some Stila. I know the lipstick is a little too bold for daytime so I've included a calmer pink lipstick by NARS that I really like. I will be showing swatches of both and of everything else I'm wearing, as usual.

So that's the look!! I hope you enjoyed it. I wanted to try out the new Stila stuff I bought so I incorporated that into this look. Some stuff is still available so you can still purchase it if you want. I couldn't find the blush on Sephora's site or Stila's site but it might still be around. Let me know what you think of this makeup look!!
Outfit of the Day
So I wore this comfortable outfit to school today to write my Chemistry of Solutions exam. Leggings are always comfy. The shirt is from Dynamite and I believe the leggings are from American Apparel. No idea where my mom got the slippers. lol. And now its time for me to go style my hair. I let it airdry last night. Cuz when you're sick, you just don't care.
So that's all for now! I'll be posting the nails later and maybe some pictures of the mermaid hair if I can get the technique down. Remember, if the lip is too bold, the NARS one is softer and lighter. I wore that color earlier to school today because the Stila one is a little much for day time wear. I wish you could see me in real life, it is really really bright!!
So I want to ask you, my dear readers, what do you think of the blush? Do you prefer Benefit's Bella Bamba or this one? What do you think of the dramatic lip? Naked1 or Naked2? What products do you want to see more of?
And here are just a few things that I will be posting about in the near future:
Empties & Extras: I will show you all my empty products and the extras that I have hidden away
Fashion Friday: That 60's Mod look I was supposed to show a couple weeks ago
