MIA...

Hey guys! I am so sorry I haven't posted in a little while. I was out of town in mid-August and school started on Tuesday, so I've been sooo busy. I have a lot of new posts coming up soon though about fall fashion, new beauty tips/products, and a project I've been working on. Thanks for continuing to read, and I promise to try and have some new posts up as soon as possible.

Anyway, now that I'm back at school I've been seeing a lot of new trends. One of the most popular is  I Heart Boobies bands. The bracelet is a fund raiser for breast cancer, and all the money goes towards research for a cure. They come in cute colors like pink, green, blue, black, and purple. They are only $4, and imagine if 50 people bought them... that's $200 raised towards a cure! I know I'm definitely going to buy one, if not two or three. Do good while looking cute! Here's a link if you want to check it out.
Love,
Grace

Un, deux, trois!

I believe that a girl can never own too many bags. Small bags, big bags, colorful bags, neutral bags, etc. My favorite pouch right now is by Rebecca Minkoff, a trendy designer who's based in New York. You can often find her bags on the arms of  famous actresses such as Hilary Duff, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Lindsay Lohan. Combining my favorite colors with my favorite language, Minkoff created the perfect pouch. It is a small pouch that is made out of genuine leather. It comes in a beautiful blue, bright fuchsia, soft brown, and rich black with different saying written in French on the side. Je t'aime (I love you), Je ne sais quoi (I don't know what), and un deux trois (one, two, three) are the the three options you have to choose from. I personally like the blue and black pouches with Je t'aime written on the side.
Is there a bag that you love? Tell me about it!
Love,
Grace

Make-up Tutorials

I love walking up and down the make-up aisles, but I often get so confused while I'm there! How can there possibly be so many products for so many different uses? I'll buy something because it looks pretty or the description sounds pleasing, then I get home and realize I'm not sure how to use it correctly. I've bought multiple highlighters, pencils, lip colors, and bases then realized I actually don't how the product is supposed to be used or how the color actually looks once on my face. That is why I love Top Shop's new make-up videos. Make up artist Hannah Murray shows you how to achieve four different looks: Glitter Cascade, Sun Shower, Statement Lips, and Midnight Eye. The looks she creates are a little dramatic, but you can control how much color you want on your eyes/lips. She shows you how to use the products to enhance your features so you know which to buy. You know what the colors look like before you put them on  your face, which is so helpful! There is even a virtual make over link that lets you upload your own picture. It's so amazing! I would definitely recommend checking it out! Click here to head over to Top Shop and try out these looks.
