Spring Beauty Trend 2013: Bright Eyeliner!

Hello beautiful rays of sunshine,

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! I know I'm not... Exams galore and last minute grades going into the gradebook. >.<

My birthday's TODAY (happy birthday to me..), but I'm not very excited this year. I have two exams and additional homework from other classes. I might have to get up early to go to a math review session at school... 5:30am on my birthday, woooot~

Anywhoo, on a much brighter note (ehehe), I've been honestly seeing this trend EVERYWHERE lately, on celebs, on the runway, on the street, legitimately everywhere I go. Bright eyes, a brilliant pop of color along the upper lashline. It makes your face look youthful and adds some color. You can play around with the look, whether you want it subtle or dramatic, it's entirely up to the person.

Kenzo Spring 2013

Moschino Cheap and Chic Spring 2013

Donna Karan Spring/Summer 2013

On the runway, the colors were being worn on the upper and lower lashline, accentuating different parts of the eye, but still bring attention to the eyes in general. Another way of wearing the bright eyeliner is just a ring around the eye.

Hoping a Fantabulous Weekend to You All!

What are you all up to this weekend? This week, I've been cruising in school, but I'm prepping for a heavy week of finals this upcoming week, as the third quarter is coming to an end. Sad note: I lost my digital camera on a district bus to a volleyball game, I'm really hoping I can find it again. I highly doubt it though, as there were two different buses I have to track down. So, there might be a shortage of posts with original photos in it, bummer because my birthday's on Wednesday. You might get a few crap cell phone pictures, but that's the best I can do for now. I hope your first spring weekend is beautiful and sunny!

Essie Avenue Maintain Nail Polish Review and Swatches

Happy spring, ladies and (possibly?) germs! If you hadn't noticed, it's the first day of spring, March 20th! Yay!

Psst... exactly one week until my birthday. (:
It was really windy outside today, and combined with the rain, it felt like it was pelting outside. Not a good start to spring. But, you know as they say, April showers bring May flowers!
... It's almost April, just go with it.

Meet my new love, Essie Avenue Maintain. Such a gorgeous girl. c;
Essie's Avenue Maintain is a perfect transitioning color from spring to fall, especially in this weather. It really reminds me of blue skies, yet, Washington state blue skies; they always seem darker than everywhere else. -_-

31 Day Nail Challenge Day 10: Gradient Nails!

I was so pumped for this challenge. Like, you guys don't even know. I LOVE doing gradient nails, I think they look so professional when they're done. Almost like they're airbrushed (if they're done right), you know? Well anyway, this look is centered around the Chinese/Vietnamese New Year! (: Red and gold are traditionally lucky colors, symbolizing luck and wealth for the new year. Hopefully, I pulled this look off.

Oh! Check out the challenge here. (;
