My name is Michelle.
I am 25 years old.
I work in Marketing.
I love Make-up.
I love writing.
I am literally obsessed with my nephews Lucas and Nathan and niece Hailey.
I truly believe laughter really is the best medicine.
This blog is just a bunch of randomness that I feel like sharing. :)

Hello my loves, happy Sunday!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have some exciting news to share with you.<br />
<br />
After much consideration and some back and forth I have decided to take the leap and buy my own domain on Word Press. I wanted to have more options and more control over my blog and I felt Word Press was the best way to achieve that.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My amazing, (not to mention talented) friend Jessica took time in her extremely busy schedule to help me with some web designing and helped get it off the ground. Now I am still in the early stages of the design and layout so please bare with me for a little while. I am sure I will need many more sessions with Jessica in "Web Design 101". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Blogger's platform has been pretty good to me especially for just starting out, but I feel like this is a step in the right direction. I'm hoping this will encourage me to continue to develop my blog and get it to where I really want it to be. But don't worry, I'm still focusing on beauty and being a twenty-something singe in the modern world. I will be putting up new posts every other Sunday so be on the lookout.</div>
<div>

I've put together my summer makeup go-tos to help battle the heat:<br>
<br>
1. <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=fs1017872" target="_blank">L'Oreal True Match Foundation</a>- This is the first liquid foundation I ever tried. I used to be scared of liquid, so I stuck with my Bare Minerals powder. But once I bought my Sigma F80 foundation brush, I was all about the liquid. L'Oreal has a ton of colors to choose from and it offers a medium-full coverage that is buildable.<br>
<br>
2. <a href="http://www.sephora.com/naked-skin-weightless-complete-coverage-concealer-P392854?skuId=1678929" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer</a>- I will admit, I only bought this because Jaclyn Hill said she loved it. But once I tried it, I was hooked. It is exactly how the name describes it. It is truly weightless, I don't feel like I am even putting anything on my face. It also is full coverage and it doesn't crease. A lot of times I don't even set it with a powder. The only thing is I wish they had a bigger color selection. I had to get the lightest color (Fair Neutral) because the next color option was darker than my foundation. The Fair Neutral works, I just have to balance it out by putting it on my forehead and chin as well.<br>
<br>
3. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/chanel-soleil-tan-de-chanel-bronzing-makeup-base/3023978" target="_blank">Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzer</a>- I really like cream bronzers for summer time, it gives your face that healthy sun-kissed glow. I do set this with my Hoola powder at times just in case, but it still works. This is a tad on the pricier side for bronzers (I mean it is Chanel) but I had been wanting it forever and finally when I was shopping in Chicago I just had to grab it. But I did use a gift card! :)<br>
<br>
4.<a href="http://www.sephora.com/becca-x-jaclyn-hill-shimmering-skin-perfector-pressed-P398805?skuId=1721240&icid2=brand%20content__p398805_image" target="_blank"> Becca & Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop Highlighter</a>- You already know I bought this highlighter as soon as it became available on Sephora.com. I love Becca's Opal highlighter and Jaclyn helped create this one so it was a done deal. (This is Limited Edition and selling out FAST) I will have a more in depth review of this in an upcoming post.<br>
<br>
5. <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod11351169" target="_blank">Covergirl Super Sizer Lash Blast Mascara</a>- When I opened this and saw the wand was thin and tiny I was so upset because I like mine to be wider and fluffy, but once I swiped it through my lashes I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It creates great volume and the small wand allows you to get every lash.<br>
<br>
That's all, stay cool! Fall is just around the corner and I cannot wait! (Don't kill me...) <br>
<br>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<img alt="Image result for writing" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ7ERxbqtLg4dz3vN3NSAsmOL0PGqe2p2GXScEix1OMDZQKn1Tr" /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.jamespreller.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/mood-writing.jpg" target="_blank">picture via</a></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been quite some time since my last post and I felt like I should probably explain why. I have run into a sort of "writer's block", nothing was really inspiring me anymore to write. So I wanted to kind of share the back story on how and why I started blogging.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I originally started this blog because I have always loved to write. I wanted to be a Journalism major when I first started college. I aspired to be Andie Anderson: How-To Girl from How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days. I always had that fantasy of working at a magazine, like Cosmopolitan, and living a fabulous life in New York City (I blame the entertainment industry for this). I quickly realized I really only enjoyed writing when it was for fun, not when it was for work. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then, about 2 or 3 years ago I started watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. Mainly Jaclyn Hill, which I'm sure comes as no surprise to most of you. I instantly became obsessed with makeup and beauty products. Gradually, I also became obsessed with Lifestyle and Beauty blogs. I wanted to have that. I loved the sleek designs of them, but mostly the fun and interesting things they wrote about. It was like having your girlfriends there to talk about love, celebrities, and life hacks all in one convenient place that I could access whenever I wanted to. It made me realize I wasn't alone in my obsessions and that felt nice. So I thought a blog would be a good fit for me. I could do this. I could write about beauty products I loved and share the random things that brought a smile to my face each day. A perfect creative outlet for someone like me. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So that brought me here: Brunette Bias. Once I started really researching blogs and how to do them I became slightly overwhelmed. There is SO much more to blogging than just writing. Which platform to use? What format or background theme do you want? What font? What color? and what the heck is SEO? etc, etc. It is a bit daunting. I started writing anyway but I kept comparing my blog to other well-known blogs and got discouraged.There are just so many lifestyle blogs these days, which is great, but I want to make mine different. I want it to be a place where readers come to get advice or suggestions on the things they are interested in. I want to be on their level of experience. I need to learn that comparison is the root of all frustration and that is what was happening to me.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know basically the only people who read my blog are my immediate family and then a few select friends of mine. And I know a blog following doesn't develop overnight, it is something that takes time and something that a major amount of work goes into. I realize I need to be patient and just keep trying and writing what comes naturally to me or this will never work. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am making it my goal to do more research on blogs, how they work, and what I can do to develop and make mine better. I am hoping to even go to a blogging conference with my friend and future fellow blogger, Annie, in September to really get into it. Until then, I hope to be back VERY soon with some new and exciting posts</span></div>

Wow. April flew by. But I digress, lets get right down to it shall we?<br />
<br />
What I am currently obsessed with:<br />
<br />
<b>1. The Jaclyn Hill's Favorites palette by Morphe</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1dZAZ7MGL9VQXe_pOGciwUbM0bBRVQOloDUEJ9aI7FA_9gU1agzfCL57sTCNhFlmRiOye6vX3Pb15clc53XG5qdQyM6rFWvGX6sI6bqgbCm2ltEEBf6mJqzd4g0xz6QI41mpdHiE-la8/s1600/IMG_3292.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1dZAZ7MGL9VQXe_pOGciwUbM0bBRVQOloDUEJ9aI7FA_9gU1agzfCL57sTCNhFlmRiOye6vX3Pb15clc53XG5qdQyM6rFWvGX6sI6bqgbCm2ltEEBf6mJqzd4g0xz6QI41mpdHiE-la8/s1600/IMG_3292.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
You guys!!!! When this first came out and sold out before I could get it I was not happy but I finally got my hands on it the 2nd time around after stalking Morphe's Instagram. Anything Jaclyn Hill does I feel like I need to purchase it. When she actually comes out with her own makeup line I am going to go happily broke and it will be all her fault. But this eye shadow palette is amazeballs. It has every color you will ever want or need and they are just gorgeous. That is all I can say.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Lush Eau Roma Water Facial Spray</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzo0rwK94oDe_ki-5_sRgp33ui0gR1_aAoGgxZM_07bBQyJDmkbNJi6TPfXWr7ELIBsPG5y2_eaSizPGDx6R9MFlz_XCCeh4tEAPsUrB-skU2YGcTl_Oja-ZvXzCR5zILU5_B_MBAHmf4/s1600/IMG_3291.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzo0rwK94oDe_ki-5_sRgp33ui0gR1_aAoGgxZM_07bBQyJDmkbNJi6TPfXWr7ELIBsPG5y2_eaSizPGDx6R9MFlz_XCCeh4tEAPsUrB-skU2YGcTl_Oja-ZvXzCR5zILU5_B_MBAHmf4/s1600/IMG_3291.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><br /></b>
So Annie gave this to me as part of my birthday present and I am now obsessed. I am no stranger to facial sprays but I had never tried this one from Lush. It is awesome though, it is just so refreshing on your face and it has a smell to it that I can't really place but for some reason makes me think of being on a beach vacation so when I spray it I feel calm and happy (I'm weird I know, thanks).<br />

I don't even know why I love this song right now considering I can't really understand half of what they are saying--but the beat in chorus is just so fun and dance-worthy that I just can't help myself. Windows down, volume up for this one.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Scandal</b><br />

I want to be Olivia Pope. Then again, who doesn't? Her style is flawless, she is a badass business woman, and she doesn't take crap from anyone. This show literally sucks you in with the first episode and does not let you go. I have been watching it on Netflix and I have 2 episodes left in season 3 and I am savoring them because I just don't want it to end and have to wait for the new season to come out. Hurry up Netflix!!<br />

I don't know if it is just because it is Spring or what but lately I have just been loving flowers. They are so pretty!! I recently went and bought flowers for my condo to brighten it up for Spring. (Full Disclosure: They are fake flowers, I don't claim to be able to keep anything alive). But I just have the urge to buy even more, all kinds…and maybe I will.<br />
<br />
That's it for this edition on "Currently Obsessed", hope you enjoyed it. Let me know some of your current obsessions on the comments!<br />

<br>
<br>
It is finally April and that means it's my birthday month! I usually take my birthday pretty seriously and try to celebrate all month long. :) I will be 25 this year--yikes! That is a quarter century old...*shiver*...but hey, maybe this age will impart some wisdom. I could use it, it has been a trying past couple of months. Nonetheless--it is Spring, a new season and a new outlook.<br>
<br>
I have been itching for a new spring wardrobe but I am trying to budget my money better so I am doing my best to resist the urge to shop, extremely hard for most girls. I fill online shopping carts all day long and then begrudgingly exit out of the website before I can checkout. This routine makes me more and more upset every morning when I don't suddenly wake up a millionaire. If only every outfit I pinned on Pinterest just magically showed up in my closet when I got home from work, for free (ahh, a perfect world...)<br>
<br>
Anyhoo--I just wanted to give you guys an update on the things I have going on. I have been spending a lot of time getting things together in my new condo still. I am currently working on getting my moving experience up for you guys and hopefully some pictures, even though it isn't fully decorated yet. SO hopefully I get it together soon.<br>
<br>
I also had an idea for a new blog series called "Currently Obsessed" which is exactly what is sounds like. Short blog posts about things I am currently obsessing over at the moment. I might do it like a "Friday Favorites" kind of thing where I do a post each week. That is my goal, but I tend to stay obsessed with the same things for a while so I will have to mix it up a bit!<br>
<br>
My amazing friend, Annie, and I are trying to learn more about the fundamentals of blogging and hopefully we will learn some good things and I can improve this blog and really get it going. I will keep you posted.<br>
<br>
Until next time...<br>
<br>

<b><br /></b>
I cannot believe it has taken me this long to write about my new found love: <b>Cucinova</b>. It is a new restaurant that opened up across from Kenwood Mall by Currito and the new Blown Salon. I think it can be best described as "Chipotle style" Italian. You can either choose pizza, pasta, or salad. Once you make your selection you can choose what sauce, cheese, and toppings (if you are getting pizza). Now I have never gotten the pasta or salad but they have different options of pastas and sauces and different choices of lettuce and toppings. But their pizza is really where it is at. To say that we are obsessed here at work would be a drastic understatement, we legitimately go there once a week usually. <br />
<br />
Now if you know me at all, you probably know that when I normally get pizza I just get plain cheese but I don't know if it is my co-workers encouraging me to try new things or what but when I go to Cucinova I get spinach, mushrooms, Peppadew peppers (like roasted red peppers but a tad spicier, also my new obsession!) pepperoni, and green peppers. I also get ranch on the side because honestly, what is pizza without ranch? After you add all your toppings they throw it in a fire oven for about 3 minutes and you are good to go. The pizza's a decent size and only $6.99 no matter how many toppings you get.<br />
<br />
They do serve some alcohol and have some happy hour deals. Tuesdays you can get 2 pizzas for $10 between 4 and 6.<br />
<br />
You can check out everything on their website <a href="http://www.cucinova.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Just talking about it makes me want to go there. It is almost lunch time... :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484181568280639442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499933064989021218.post-48930720973772733102015-01-26T17:18:00.000-08:002015-01-26T17:18:05.552-08:00Baby It's Cold Outside...Hello Hello! It is almost February and to many people's dismay, it is still winter. I happen to not mind it since it has been a decently mild winter so far (<i>knock on wood</i>). I will even go as far as to say that I am a little disappointed that it really only "snow snowed" once this winter. But enough about snow, today I wanted to share with you a few of the things I cannot live without in the winter time…Here goes...<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">My 7 Winter Essentials:</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<b>1. My "get cozy" slippers from Aerie </b><br />

You guys, not only are these adorable, they are comfy and oh so warm. Sometimes my feet get so warm they start to sweat a little! I don't believe they still have these exact slippers at Aerie but you can find other ones <a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/search/index.jsp?Ntt=slippers" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
I normally just wear shorts to bed, even in the winter, because I can't stand the way pants ride up in But on nights when I am particularly freezing I will whip these bad boys out. Since they are leggings they are tight so they don't bunch up all night. Plus I love the color pink and I am really into leopard prints right now. meow. :)<br />

<br />
I don't usually consider myself to have dry skin, I am more normal to oily if I had to choose, but in the winter I think everyone's skin gets a little dryer than normal. So I like to use this face serum after I wash and tone my face. It is all natural and organic so you can pretty much put it on anything, your face, hair, nails, etc. There is a regular version as well which I actually haven't tried but I think the light is just enough for me. (This product is also a Jaclyn Hill recommendation!)<br />
<br />
<b>4. Soap and Glory's Hand Food, hand and body cream</b><br />

<br />
Keeping with the dry skin theme--my hands get super dry in the winter time from the harsh air and all the hand washing so I must have this lotion in my purse at all times. Now I must say I am not a huge lotion person, especially on my hands because I just don't like that greasy feeling and sometimes the scents can be overwhelming--So when my friend Annie, who is also makeup obsessed like me, told me to try this I was skeptical. Once I did though I immediately fell in love. It is not greasy at all, yet it is thick and creamy enough to be extremely moisturizing. Also, it has a very light, almost fresh scent that isn't over powering at all.

<b>5. My agave lip mask by Bite Beauty</b><br />

If you have dry, chapped lips you NEED this in your life...NOW. This lip mask is the bomb. I have been truly struggling with dry and cracked lips lately and I fell like this is the only thing that keeps my lips from completely breaking off my face. I put it on every night before I go to bed and when I wake up I can still feel it on my lips. It. Is. Heavenly.

I love Starbucks. Some may say I have an addiction and I won't necessarily disagree. But I got a new Kuerig for Christmas that I cannot wait to set up in my new condo and start making coffee at home. I just like the idea of cuddling up with a nice blanket and hot coffee or tea on a Sunday morning. Now I like to have a lot of mugs and this is one that I actually painted myself at <a href="http://www.thepotteryplacecincy.com/" target="_blank">The Pottery Place</a> off North Bend Road. It was a ton of fun and they have lots of pieces to choose from.<br />

Everyone needs a big chunky scarf to shield them against the winter winds. I love this because it's just a big fluffy turtle neck you can take on and off when needed. I got this one from <a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=3499_2278_030&catId=cat4910098&bundleCatId=cat7210023" target="_blank">Aerie</a> by American Eagle.<br />

It's a new year!! It is 2015 and big things are happening this year. I am in 3 weddings already, 1 in June, 1 in October and 1 in November. My sister Crissy is having her second baby on February 10th and I will be an aunt for the 3rd time! Fifty Shades of Grey and Pitch Perfect 2 come out this year. My mom is moving out of her condo (aka the unofficial nursing home) and more importantly out of Delhi all together.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And perhaps the most exciting thing of 2015 is that I will be moving out completely on my own for the first time. I have lived in a dorm, and in apartments with my other people but never in my own place all by myself. I am renting my cousin's condo starting in February. I will put up pictures once I get it decorated nice--if that ever even happens! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll be 25 this year as well...YIKES! that seems crazy to me. I am half way finished with my 20's! My 20's have definitely been interesting to say the least. But hopefully it means I will get my life together soon.<br />
<br />
I am hoping to get organized on here and start doing maybe some tutorials or at the very least some more interesting topics so STAY TUNED this year!!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
1. I figured if this blog was going to be about more than just makeup and stuff it should have a different name.<br />
<br />
2. I didn't like the misspelling of "be-u-ty"<br />
<br />
3. I got the idea from reading Lea Michele's book <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Brunette-Ambition-Lea-Michele/dp/0804139075" target="_blank">Brunette Ambition</a>. </i>(interesting book)<br />
<br />
4. I am brunette and I just liked the name better in general :)<br />
<br />
<br />
So there you have it. I can't seem to figure out how to get the title of the blog actually back on the page for some reason but I am working on it. I also changed around the background and colors, giving it a new-and hopefully slightly better look. Hope you like it!!<br />
<br />

Okay, so maybe it is one of those things they tell you repeatedly growing up but being an adult is hard. You have responsibilities, a job to keep, a house to pay for, bills to pay, etc. etc. etc.<br />
<br />
When I was in college, I could not wait to graduate and start making money, real money. I have never been a fan of school, like ever. I used to try and pretend I was sick all the time to get out of it (just ask my mom). Don't get me wrong, I loved college. I just didn't like the actual school part of it. I was also working 25-35 hours a week at my part time job at Victoria's Secret so I felt like I was working full time but making nothing. I was sick of having homework every night and being broke from barely making minimum wage.<br />
<br />
So when the day finally came and I walked across the stage as they called my name, my REAL name (thanks again, mom and dad...) I immediately felt this sense of great accomplishment. I mean I know <i>a lot </i>of people graduate college these days but it is still a huge thing I sometimes thought I might not get to. The first couple of months were awesome. I just had to work part time at VS and I got to watch my nephew, Lucas, 2-3 days a week. Babysitting him was something I wouldn't change for anything, although it did make me realize just how much work a child can be. But thats a whole other story in itself.<br />
<br />
Eventually I started feeling kind of lost, where is my life going? What kind of job am I going to get? How am I going to pay my student loans? Am I going to live with my mom forever? Is there even the slightest chance Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake will ever get back together? Real questons.<br />
<br />
Today I have a full time job in Marketing, definitely making more money than I was before but waking up at the same time every morning and going to the same place day in and day out can get monotonous. I love routine, until it gets boring.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am 24 years old now, I still have no idea what I am doing with my life in the future. Except I am about to move out completely on my own for the first time so I am sure many blog worthy stories will follow. I am about to do an adult like thing and I still feel like I am 16.<br />
<br />
When I younger I always thought what my older sisters were doing was forever away and when the time came for me to go through whatever it was I would feel ready because I would be older. Well boy was I wrong! Wisdom does not just come from age, and I am not saying that to sound preachy, it is just a fact. I sometimes call my mom or sisters 10+ times a day to ask them questions or advice. I am the baby of the family, what did you expect?<br />
<br />
I just want to know, when did it become not okay to sleep until noon each day and stay in your pajamas for 48 hours? When did watching an entire season on Netflix become strange and lazy and not just funny (or simply <b>amazing</b>?) If wanting to lay on the couch and watch Vampire Diaries with my best friend all day long is wrong, then I don't think I want to be right.<br />
<br />
Again I will say: I do <i>not</i> remember signing up for this!<br />

Small Ulta Haul Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
I am finally back with a real post for ya! Today I wanted to do a haul. I recently went to Ulta to indulge in their 20% off sale (like I needed an excuse…) I walked away with some pretty great stuff:<br />
<br />
1. Tarte Holilday "Away Oui Go" Giftset. You guys this thing is amazeballs. It has 16 eye shadows that are to die for, 4 Amazonian Clay blushes, 3 deluxe maracuja lipglosses, 1 deluxe Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara, and a cute portable compact. You can pop out one of the 4 palettes, put in in the compact, and go! Perfect for the Holidays.<br />

2. Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation in Medium Beige and the Airbuki powder foundation brush. Okay, I am still on the fence about this one, I have been using Bare Minerals powder foundation (also in Medium Beige) for quite some time now and lately I just find it leaving my face dull and blah. So I wanted to switch it up and I have heard some good things about the Tarte foundation. I like to wear a powder foundation during the week because it takes me less than 5 minutes to do my makeup in the morning before work and I am all about getting as much beauty sleep as possible (and pressing the snooze button as many times as I dare). I tried the Tarte foundation and at first found it very blotchy and hard to blend. I think the color may be a little too yellow for my skin as well. After another day or 2 of applying, I liked it a little better but I am still unsure if I would ever buy this product again. I'll keep you posted. :)<br />

3. Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow in Barely Branded. I really like the consistency of these eyeshadows. I have a couple of the colors now and they are just easy to work with and you don't need a brush to apply, I usually just use my fingers!<br />

4. Maybelline Lipsticks from the new Matte line in Touch of Spice and Devine Wine. Send out the Hallelujah chorus!! these lippies are heavenly. I am obsessed with them. They are both great colors for Fall. Touch of Spice is my Holy Grail lipstick, it never leaves my side. The formula is really creamy (especially for a matte) and they are very pigmented. I have been really into the matte craze lately so these are perfect for me. I want more colors!! (top swatch: Divine Wine. Middle: Touch of Spice. Bottom: Barely Branded). Then there is me participating in Sunday Bun day and of course rocking the Touch of Spice.<br />

I know it's been a little while since I've posted but it's been crazy around here. I am going on vacation with my family at the end of this week. I will try to blog there but if not I WILL start blogging again when I get back! I really want to stick with it this time around so I will try and get better at posting. Anyways, just wanted to drop this quick note.<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div>I <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">can't wait for the beach!!! 😁</span></div><div><div><br></div><div>Xoxo,</div><div>Michelle </div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484181568280639442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499933064989021218.post-2784794000069244812014-07-23T11:28:00.002-07:002014-07-23T11:28:21.652-07:00Seasons A.D.D.So I have self diagnosed my self with what I am calling Seasons A.D.D. (yes, I made it up...whatever)because let's face it-it is only July and I am ready for Fall. I need my Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pink sweatshirts, yoga leggings, and to burn my Fall Festival candle. I basically need to be a typical white girl (I've learned to just embrace it).<div>
I always get bored of the seasons so quickly. Half way through each one I am ready for the next. Now Fall is my all time favorite season and call me crazy but I also thoroughly enjoy Winter. I love the look of fresh snow on the ground and just the smell of the air in Winter. (I said you could call me crazy. But Winter air really does have a smell). There are things I don't enjoy about Winter, like when it gets below zero degrees out or when I have to scrap my car off every morning and most of all driving in hazardous conditions. But nothing can beat the Holiday season. Christmas is my favorite holiday and since I no longer work in retail (which sucks the Christmas spirit out of you before Thanksgiving even hits) I can truly enjoy the season. But then January comes and I am pretty much over Winter and ready for Spring. Mostly because Spring means April which means my birthday( the 24th if you would like to send cards or gifts!! :) I enjoy Spring because by that time I am over being freezing every time I step outside and am ready for it to be warm (but not hot yet) I feel like here in Cincinnati we usually skip over Fall and Spring and just dive head first into Winter and Summer and that makes me angry. I need ALL four seasons, I don't think that is too much to ask. Spring means the flowers start to bloom and everything looks new. Then June comes and it is Summer. Shockingly to most people, Summer is my least favorite season. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy some aspects of it, cause believe me I do! But since I am now an adult (completely against my will) and no longer in school. Summer no longer means 3 whole months of freedom to pretty much do whatever I want (or nothing at all). I now still have to work 9-5, 5 days a week no matter what season it is. So I don't have much time for swimming or laying out, basically all the things that make Summer great.</div>
<div>
I would much rather be cold than hot. When I am hot it is like my body shuts down and I cannot do anything. I feel completely disgusting, it is just not a pretty picture and I tend to get aggravated and (I've heard) slightly mean. My family always makes fun of me because I really don't enjoy the outdoors, I freak out over any sort of insect, extreme temperatures aren't my thing, and can I help it if I just like to be inside?No, I cannot. It is one of my few flaws. (Just kidding, I could write a novel of flaws!)<img alt="Because you know that the indoors is where it’s at. | 32 Signs You're Not An Outdoor Person At All" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/5b/03/ec/5b03ec0989b0f27d58e55b9be0106683.jpg" /></div>
<div>
Anyways, I don't think I could ever move somewhere where the seasons didn't change because I would go crazy, thus explaining my made up Seasons A.D.D. Now I can't be the only one with this problem (is it a <i>problem</i>? I don't know) but it is something. And please don't shoot me for not being a Summer girl... :P </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ps. I feel like these are long posts about really nothing. Should posts be this long? Does it matter? Oh well, to each their own. Mine are long apparently so if you made it this far-Congrats! and thank you!! </div>

Let me just start off by saying that it is NOT easy coming up with a bog name, let alone a clever one. It took me a long (and I mean long) time to come up with this title and I'm still not even sure it is that great. But I digress, I chose it because I have been OBSESSED with beauty and makeup for the past year or so. I started watching all these YouTube beauty bloggers and fell in love! Jaclyn Hill is my all time favorite beauty guru. Everything she says I believe 100%. Her channel is like my Bible. (I am pretty sure that is completely sacrilegious, and I <i>know</i> it is a tad obsessive) but she knows her shit.<br />
Anyways, I have been trying to blog for years and years now. I started one years ago and posted about 2 things that in my opinion, and I'm sure other people's, were just dumb. I had 2 subscribers (is that what they are called on here?) one was my sister Carrie, who encouraged me to start the blog, and the other was my best friend Brittany who I FORCED to follow me. Needless to say, I gave up on that. So blah blah blah that brings us here to 2014 and I am going to try and actually keep up with this blog. It won't be all about make-up it will just be a hodgepodge of randomness (thus is my life). I am learning how to do this whole thing so bare with me!<br />
That is probably more than enough for my 1st post. Until next time...<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />
