Is Cheap Makeup Better?

Instead of spending hundreds on makeup when you could spend less then 10 dollars on a product that could work a lot better let me give you a few examples.

Makeup Items that are okay to purchase cheaply
 ~ Mascara, most mascaras are cheap in general so it is normal to find cheap mascara.
 ~ Blush, Covergirl is a really good and not super expensive.
 ~ Brush's Eco tool has bamboo brushes that come in packs that aren't expensive and good for the enviorment.

 Any eye makeup is iffy as it could cause eye irratation so be careful when you choose your product!

DIY Hot Apple Cider

Every fall I look forward to getting local apple cider wether it's from the farmers market or at a local store. I created this hot apple cider recipe this year and thought that I should share it with you guys!

 
The Ingrediants!!!
~ 1 cinnamon stick
~ Apple Cider (6 cups)
~ a pot for the Apple cider to get heated up in 
~ 1 teaspoon cloves (ground) (McCormick)
~ 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (McCormick)

Turn stovetop to 6 and set the pot on top of it.

Add cinnamon stick, ground cloves and pumpkin spice to the Pot 
Add 6 cups of apple cider to the pot and let it reach boiling. The reason you let it boil is so the cinnamon realeases more flavor into the cider! 
 This is enough apple cider for two people and is delicious! I hope you enjoy this recipe and share it with others! 

Simple Halloween decorating #1

Last weekend I went to cost plus (world market) and picked up a few things including a Halloween little cup so to get in a festive spirit I decided to put it use, here's what I did!
You wil need the cup, your brushes and tweezers if you have any.

Put the tweezers on the side between the two haunted houses or If you get another cup in between the designs.

Add the brushes and wala! All you have to do is put it in place! Any easy project that brings out the Halloween in any room!

The Fashion Loop


   Every Fall the Fashion industry introduces new Clothes, Handbags and Shoes. Most of the time people have no idea what is coming out for the new year. Knowing what is out for the new year is helpful for your budget so you can know how much you are going to spend on clothes, Being in the loop is also great conversation starters with your friends. Here are a few tips that I find helpful that keep me in the loop I hope that some of these tips will work for you!

(1) Follow the designers/brands offical instagram pages, To help make this easier on you I found a few of the Designers/Brands that I follow on Instagram. You can also search for your favorite Designers/Brands on instagram and follow!

@burberry
@louisvuitton
@prada
@ralphlauren
@coach
@laurenstucky


(2) Check your favorite Designers/Brands websites every few weeks in order to get a preview of the new lines and any new items that they will be releasing.

(3) Facebook is a really big media hub for fashion. Like your favorite Designers and Brands on facebook so whenever they post you know about it. If you want you can set up notifications so you get notifications right when they post, This will definatly keep you in the loop!

  I hope you find these tips helpful and tips that you will definatly use! :)
