b. Urban Decay Smog, crease, lower lash line
c. MAC Myth Lipstick: Elf Minerals Lipstick in Natural Nymph
d. MAC Pussy Willow Lip Glass: L'Oreal 8 HR Infallible Le Gloss in Something Shiny
My Thoughts: She was mainly showing her outfit, but I really liked her makeup. She said what she was wearing and I wanted to copy it. It's a pretty, natural look. Good for the summer. For blush I wore Elf Candid Coral.

b. Concealer, use foundation brush to blend it in

m. Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Beige: Boots No.7 Line and Define Lip Liner in Nude
n. MAC Lipstick in Creme in Your Coffee, dab it on, use finger to blend it in: Wet 'n Wild Lipstick in 904b Rose Bud
My Thoughts: This is an all matte look. I think it is supposed to be inspired from the 90's. This look is getting popular lately. I think it is pretty. It is a change from the glowing, shimmery looks. It seems like a good look for fall. I was told that it didn't look like I was wearing any makeup, which I take as a compliment.

5. Lip Combo: Rainbow Sorbetto by cosmetic couturier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWq8waBoUEE
a. This lip goes with a natural eye.
b. lip scrub
c. lip balm
d. concealer
e. OCC Lip Pencil in Hoochie, line and fill in lips: Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Pure
f. Too Faced Liquid Lip Color in Melted Coral: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color in Electric Orange
g. line lips again
h. Pacifica Enlighten Gloss in Beach Kiss: Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Pink Ice
My Thoughts: The lips are a bright coral color because they are lined with hot pink and the lipstick is bright orange, so it combines to make a coral color. They are glossy too. I think it is really pretty. It brings focus on your lips. It is a nice summertime color.

6. Millie Mackintosh Inspired Makeup Look by Chanelette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPFhldl2f4w
a. Tinted Moisturizer
b. Concealer
c. Brows
d. NARS All About Eve, left color, inner half of lid: Urban Decay Mariposa Palette in Skimp
e. NARS All About Eve, right color, outer half of lid: The Balm Nude'tude Palette in Snobby
f. Black Liquid Liner, upper lash line, close to lashes, little wing
g. Mascara (I used brown mascara because she wore brown falsies.)
h. Brown False Lashes
i. Powder, center of face
j. NARS Laguna Bronzer, big fluffy brush, cheeks, nose, forehead, chin: Wet 'n Wild Bronzer in Bikini Contest
k. NARS Deep Throat, apples of cheeks: Elf Blush in Candid Coral
l. Benefit Watt's Up, top of cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow
m. Burberry Lip Pencil in Rosewood No.7: Jordana Easyliner for Lips Retractable Pencil in Tawny
n. Maybelline Color Sensational Gloss in Cashmere Rose: Essence Stay With Me Long Lasting Lip Gloss in My Favorite Milkshake
My Thoughts: I don't know who Millie Mackintosh is, but Chanelette is so beautiful. She says this is her go to look. It looks light on the eyes with black liquid liner and a little wing. The face has bronzer all over it, with a peachy pink golden blush. I love Candid Coral. I think it is beautiful, and it is supposed to be a close dupe to NARS Deep Throat. Watt's Up is a pretty luminous champagne cream highlighter that looks very natural. The lip liner is a "my lips but better" color, and it is very inexpensive at Walgreens. we don't have the Maybelline lip gloss she used in the states. I think my dupe was pretty close. The lip gloss is a pretty peachy pink. It is also very inexpensive. Overall, this is a pretty, natural, summertime look. Also, the bronzer Wet 'n Wild Bikini Contest is a good dupe for NARS Laguna.

2. Concealer
3. Brows

5. Armani Eyes to Kill No. 15, lower half of lid: L'Oreal Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in Bronzed Taupe
6. Clean brush blend it out
7. Black Eye Shadow, upper lash line, blend it out: Wet 'n Wild Greed, 3rd color
8. Black Eye Shadow, really close to upper lashes, don't blend it this time
9. Brown Eye Liner, waterline
10. Mascara
11. Comb lashes to get out clumps
12. 2nd coat of mascara
13. Powder, center of face
14. Aerin Multi Colour for Lips and Cheeks in 01 Natural: NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Berry New Yorker
15. Use whatever foundation brush you used to blend out the edges of the blush.
16. She drew in freckles. I already have freckles.
17. Barry M Lip Liner No.5, line gently, use side of pencil, blend in: Jordana Easyliner for Lips Retractable Pencil in Tawny
18. Laqa & Co Bossy Boots Lip Crayon: Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Cranberry Crush
My Thoughts: She says that Gisele doesn't wear that much makeup. She is just naturally gorgeous, so this look is supposed to look like you are naturally beautiful. The makeup doesn't look natural on me. It looks pretty though. The eyes have bronze and gold on them. The cheeks are a mauve color. The lips are cranberry. I think this look will last long because the eyes are 24 hour wear, the cheeks are a stain and the lips are a stain. It's good for a hot day I think.

Furry Friend Tag!

I saw this tag done on Youtube by PiinkSparkles. She has two dogs, and she has done it for both of her dogs. Here is one of the videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUiMsxG-8Uo. I love animals, and I have never done a post about Kitty, so I wanted to do one. If you have a pet, feel free to do this tag too and link to your blog in a comment down below!

♥ Questions ♥

1. What is his/her name? Kitty

2. When did you get him/her? I think it was the first year I was in teaching school, maybe 2005.

3. What is something he/she does that annoys you? She wakes me up when she wakes up very early in the morning, so she can get a treat or attention. She feels I need to be awake when she is awake.

4. What type of breed is he/she? I think she is a mix. A tabby cat. Short haired?

5. Has he/she ever had a near death experience? I don't know.

6. Does he/she know any tricks? no

7. Does he/she love to snuggle? She used to scratch and bite a lot. She is very sweet now. She doesn't like it when you pick her up, and she only gets onto my Dad's lap when he is trying to read. She doesn't go onto anyone's lap other then in those circumstances. If she meows at you, you may come over to her and pet her only for as long as she wants you to. Not too much. If she gets on the bed or couch and meows at you, that is her giving permission to pet her. She sets clear boundaries.

8. Where did you get him/her? My mom and I both volunteered for an organization called SMART, which is a program to be a mentor to children and you get to read to them. My mom was there one day when a lady told everyone about a cat in her apartment complex that needed a home. It was homeless, and she couldn't take it in because she already had the maximum number of cats. The children in the apartment area were being mean to it, and she was concerned. My mom decided spontaneously to pick up the cat. Kitty was in a carrier, and was growling like she was possessed. Both the lady and my mom were very frightened, but my mom decided if Kitty didn't like it at our home she wouldn't make her stay. She did like it here. And she made it her home.

9. Does he/she get along with other dogs? I have never seen Kitty with a dog, but I would imagine no. We used to have another cat, and Kitty didn't like her at all.

10. Does he/she get along with strangers? No, she is very shy. If we have visitors, and they stay a long enough time, Kitty will venture out of her hiding spot because she is so curious to sniff the stranger, but she will be very careful.

11. How much does he/she weight? She is 16 lb!

12. Do you ever dress him/her up? no

13. Has he/she ever tried to run away? No, she always stayed in our yard when we let her outside.

14. How did you come up with his/her name? We were thinking of different names to call her, but I think because she was homeless for so long she only came to the name Kitty.

15. How much does he/she mean to you on a scale of 1-10? 11! She is like my sister. I love her so much, I don't know what I did without her.

Something else about Kitty: She is very talkative! She has all kinds of calls and meows she makes. Sometimes she yells. She acts like she knows what we are saying when we talk to her, and my mom swears she calls us each by a different name. She is especially noisy in the morning. When I am upstairs, and she is downstairs she will call up the stairs for me to come down to her.

Also, she likes to go on walks around the house. She will stop and wait for me to follow her and we will walk around the house together. She always goes to the same places. She likes for me to open closet doors for her and cabinets. She is very snoopy.
