Hey everyone! So last week I was struggling with a very bad cold. Ugh! My nose was stuffed, throat hurt, my lungs were tight, my head pounding all the time, I couldn't focus in school and I barely got any rest. So finally now that's all over and done with for this season, (because I know a ton of people who have gotten sick over the past couple weeks) here are the things I used and some extra necessities you should use when you're a bit under the weather...or a lot.
Only one more day until Valentine's Day! Who else is excited? This is my last Valentine's post and I am excited to share this look and these products with all of you. Valentine's Day is centered with pinks and reds so this look can be manipulated depending on your skin or personal preference.
I just recently purchased this Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and I fell in love at first drop. It's so silky and smooth but, it gives the right amount of coverage that doesn't feel like you've put a huge cake on your face. It's light and I love it! I also just bought the ever-so-popular, Urban Decay Primer Potion. I was so excited to see what all the fuss was about. I tried it under my eye shadow a couple times and wore it during an eight hour school day. Only minimal creasing (because I had gym class and I sweat a lot that day) was seen but, overall it's a really great primer. The Wet'n'Wild eye shadow palettes have also been my faves this year and I have also done a more in-depth review here. They're so creamy and last so long on the lid!
To go over the foundation and all of the face makeup, this NYC mosaic blush powder has been my go-to. It's a very light sort of sheer rose color with hidden gold in it. You literally look like a goddess when you wear it. Who wouldn't want that? Especially on Valentine's Day. It gives the perfect pink glow without being too overpowering on the cheeks.
Using one of my favorite mascaras for this look because on Valentine's Day having the best looking eyes is key. The Rocket by Maybelline has to be my favorite mascara out of all the ones they have in their product line. I found the most volume using this mascara and minimal flakiness. The Smashbox eyeliner is also a new addition to my makeup family and I really like it. It's very smooth and very easy to apply. I will be doing a review on Smashbox very soon!
To top it all off, a nice, subtle pink-nude lipstick (or red if you prefer) to make your Valentine's Day a perfect one. Maybe paint your nails a bright red or pink too?! Whatever you choose, I hope you guys enjoyed this little makeup look/review and find some Valentine's Day inspiration! You can probably wear this look any other day as well.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello my lovelies! While Valentine's Day isn't my number one favorite holiday, I still love getting people gifts! Whether you are getting something for your girl (because I guess guys wouldn't want this stuff) or just a friend or loved one, I have some great gift ideas for you guys.
I always tell myself that even if I am not able to get a gift for someone, buying or making a card is always your best bet no matter what. Letting someone know you care with a card on Valentine's is just as sweet as getting them chocolates, candy, and some pretty flowers...okay maybe not as sweet haha. I got this cute fox and raccoon card at Target in the dollar section and it comes in a pack of eight cards with envelopes. So cute! I can always count on the dollar section at Target to have the best and most inexpensive note cards.
If your loved one is loving all things makeup and beauty (like me) here are some other cute ideas. Maybe stop by your nearest Bath and Body Works and pick up a set of pretty smelling lotions, get a nice bright pink Rimmel lipstick to go with her cute outfit, or maybe even go full out and buy her a nice perfume!
Any girl would love these items. They're all necessities in my opinion! You could even get her a bunch of mini Essie nail polishes. This one is in the shade Forever Yummy and it is so yummy! I have been really loving the look of bright red nails lately. So festive!
Something that could be bit of a stretch this year could be a Fujifilm Instax mini polaroid camera. It is a bit of an expensive gift but, I feel like anyone who loves taking selfies with their "bae" would love to have this camera.
Plus, they come in so many different colors and you can get different film for them! They're so easy to take along or just use at home with friends. I love the vintage look the camera creates.
If you are planning on getting your GF or friend a gift, these are some really great ideas. Remember! It's the thought that counts, not the gift. So maybe just a card this year? Or a simple "Happy Valentine's Day!" would make anyone feel a bit more loved.
Xoxo, Nat
