☯ Sophia's Makeup Essentials ☯

Hello everyone! So today I'm going to make our first beauty post and talk about some of my personal favorite products, most of which I use on a daily basis.  I shall be talking about every single one of these products, going from the bottom to the top of the pyramid. So enough chatter, let's get onto the post!

• Rimmel London Glam'eyes Mascara: I completely concur with Jess that mascara is the most important thing to put on your face, and this mascara is phenomenal. It gives you really nice, full, long lashes and you can buy it at your local drugstore. Some people may say it's too "dramatic" for their taste, but I consider myself a pretty zesty gal and love it.

• Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose: I am an absolute lip balm addict so when I say a lip balm is the best, it's pretty damn good. Korres makes these in a variety of colors and scents, and you can get them at Sephora, and when I say I want to marry this lip balm I am not exaggerating. PLUS this stuff is from Greece just like my family so hell yes.

• Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Blissful: The only blush I've ever owned and the only one I ever intend to (besides a cream color stick for travelling in the summer obviously). This stuff lasts super long and is the perfect "warm peach" for my skin tone. 

• Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Perfume in Baby: I know this isn't a makeup product but I love it so much I feel I had to include it. It has notes of honeysuckle, peach, rose and vanilla. It's what I imagine Unicorn World to smell like. 

• MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger: This red lasts all day and is has a lovely coral undertone. Perfect for days when you want that extra bit of chic a red lip gives, and I just love the name (even if that's stupid). 

• Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in Poetica: As I previously stated in my about me post, purple is my favorite color. This palette has stunning purple colors and awesome quality. It makes my eyelids beautiful and unicorn-y.

Well, that was a long post! I promise to be a bit more concise in the future, but I guess I was just feeling ramble-y today. I hope everyone has an absolutely fabulous weekend!

                                                                                      Laterz,

Shopping Shenanigans

         Who doesn't love shopping? Shopping has the ability to turn an awful day into an amazing one. You guys didn't know this, but I lately I've been practicing shopping celibacy. However, a few months back I bought MinkPink slasher high waisted shorts from Nastygal and I didn't want to show just one item in a haul because that's just boring. But the shorts are so amazing. I absolutely love these shorts, but I couldn't justify buying them for $78. So, once they were on sale on Nastygal I had to pounce on the opportunity and buy them for the upcoming Summer season.

            I've been eyeing Doc Martens for so long and I decided to finally get them! I searched all over SoHo, and when I say I searched all over SoHo I mean I went to every single shoe store that SoHo had to offer. I swear it's easier for a one-legged pirate to play soccer than for me to find Doc Martens in my size! The official Doctor Martens store didn't even have my size. I was totally bummed but hey,  life goes on.  I started to search for Doc Martens online and Urban Outfitters had them back-ordered until March. Was there a Doc Martens 1460 Original 8 eye, Black Smooth size 7 genocide that I didn't know about?! Finally, I found a pair at Journeys and although they were back-ordered a few days I decided to get them. 

P.S. Doc. Martens hurt like a mofo.

         So one down, one more to go on my list. I've been eying this army green bomber jacket from Nastygal for a long time. I never had that type of jacket before so why not try it out, right? 

I also have been eyeing this dress for a long time so I decided to get it. This dress is perfect for the spring/summer time. I love the pleats and to my surprise I actually love the flare sleeves. I usually don't like flare anything but in this case it definitely works. Whilst envisioning what I would be wearing with this lovely dress, I was thinking about wearing my over-sized Levi's denim jacket with my chain suspender tights from House of Holland and of course my gorgeous (but painful to break in) Doc Martens.

• My name is Jessica.

• Most people call me Jess(ie)

• I don't like it when guys call me Jessie because it makes me feel like they're talking to one of their "bros" named Jesse, which is why I generally tell people that my name is Jess. Just wanted to clear that up.

• I think Bethany Cosentino is the coolest

Okay so now that you know some facts about me, I'm sure you're absolutely dying to see my room, right? My room is very small but it's cozy and I like it quite a lot... Yup.

This is the corner with the most music stuff. I felt sort of silly saying that music is important to me in the facts up there^ because, let's be honest, music is important to everyone. But as you can see here it is a very big part of my life. Definitely one of the biggest<3 

...Eventually there will be a music section on this blog, so get excited.

                         My dogs who died when I was very young. Lou and Tony. Wearing T-shirts. A perfect polaroid taken by one of my parents.

Some of my clothes and my jewelry and my make-up. As you can see I like mellow colors, aside from that bright pink hoodie, which I hardly even wear (I only keep it because it's super soft and perfect for the beach) and prints  (particularly small polka dots). 
Also you may have noticed that I don't have very much make-up, and that's because I don't wear much make-up. I think mascara is the most important because I feel like you can not be wearing any other make-up but then as soon as you put on mascara you instantly look gorgeous! Voila! I love all of my mascaras, the Great Lash from Mabelline is nice for thin, non-clumpy lashes and is about 5 or 6 bucks, I think! The Stila is good for big, thick lashes. The tiny Chanel, is perfect for long voluminous lashes, and the One by One mascara from Mabelline is excellent for long lashes and is also like $6. I also usually wear eyeliner. Covergirl is great and super cheap. I also love love love the stila eyeliner. It goes on so smooth and thick for a more dramatic look. I usually just apply a bit of eye-liner to the corners of my eyes. And the last bit of make-up I wear is lip stain. I have the Stila lip stain which is actually empty because I'm lazy and haven't bought a new one yet, but. So right now I've been using the Covergirl outlast lip stain which I love and it's also quite cheap. So yeah that's all the make-up I wear. 

And that is my lovely lovely loft bed.
