Election Essentials
Posted on: September 1, 2012
Something that you all should know about me is that I’m a huge nerd about things. I love politics, conservative politics to be exact. I’ve been watching the GOP convention, which is what inspired this polyvore creation.
What do you all think? What will you be wearing this election season? I wanna know!

Makeup Must Haves
Posted on: September 1, 2012
I don’t know about y’all, but where I live in the South it is HOT. I decided to live on campus this year because I thought it would be more convenient with all of my involvement. Living on campus means that I walk everywhere in this heat. One of the solutions has been to skip a few steps in my beauty routine, so that my makeup doesn’t literally melt down my face. Here are my essentials:
I start out by using Smashbox’s green primer. My skin has a red undertone to it, so it helps blend that out.
I apply some powder after that, just because my skin is oily.
The next step is NARS Laguna bronzer. I have the duo of Laguna/Orgasm, but I haven’t been wearing blush lately. When I’m doing a full face, I’ll use a Smashbox highlighter to put some shimmer on my cheek bones.
I prime my eyes with Urban Decay’s primer before putting on my eyeshadow. Also, I’m a big fan of gel eyeliner. It goes on so much easier, and having the primer under it is a big help. The last step is mascara… I am OBSESSED with Givenchy mascara. It is worth the money. I have Bambi lashes, and the best part is that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes.
I love a nice, neutral gloss. I have a pinkish one from NARS, but I picked up a peachy one from Revlon that does the trick.
What are your beauty secrets for summer? I’d love to know!
