Nails Of The Day: In Stitches & Ice Glitter

Hey everyone :)

Today, I decided to paint my nails with one of my newest nail polishes, In Stitches by Essie. In Stitches is a gorgeous, burgundy nail polish that just screams Fall to me. 

I'm in love with this shade, its a really beautiful shade for the Fall. I decided to paint my ring finger with Ice Glitter from NYX, for some extra sparkle and fun. I love how a little bit of glitter can change up the whole look and make it more fun and girly. Who doesn't love a little glitter and sparkle in their life? I can't get enough :)

What do you think about the look? What are you wearing on your nails at the moment? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Tutorial: How To Create A Fishtail Braid

Hey everyone :)
I have been getting a lot of requests to do hair tutorials, so I thought I would kick off my very first hair tutorial with a fishtail braid. If you want to learn how to create this really fun, easy and cute braid, just keep reading :)

  ♥ 1. Start off by creating a ponytail using a clear elastic. I didn't find one, so I just used a regular black elastic. It doesn't matter what you use, because we are going to cut it when the braid is finished.

  ♥ 2. Split the ponytail into two separate pieces.

  ♥ 3. Take a piece from the first side and pass it to the second side.

  ♥ 4. Then take a piece from the second side and pass back to the first side.

 ♥ 5. When you have finished your braid, go in with your scissors and carefully cut the elastic at the top and that's it :)

Here is the finished look! What do you guys think? I absolutely love this braid, its really beautiful and so easy to do. On days that I don't know what I want to do with my hair, the fishtail braid is perfect. Its such a quick hairstyle, and all you need is a few minutes of your time and a little patience. You might have to practice a few times before your happy with how your braid looks, but practice makes perfect, right? :)

Which hair tutorial do you think I should do next? Please leave your suggestions in the comments down below. Thank you :)

Outfit Of The Day: Big Sweater & Studded Boots

If there is one thing I love about the Fall, its definitely big, cozy sweaters and cute boots. I love Fall fashion and I have a brand new Outfit post to share with you tonight. Let me know what you think about the look, in the comments down below :)

What I Wore: 

♥ Sweater from Nelly.

I'm in love with this sweater and these studded boots, that I picked up from Nelly. I know that I will get a lot of good use out of these pieces, I have already worn the studded boots several times already and I just can't get enough of them. What do you think about the studded boots? :)

Beauty Haul: Maybelline New York, H&M & Max Factor

Hey everyone :)
I picked up some goodies from the beauty section at H&M the other day, and I wanted to do a little post and share them with you guys. Keep reading if you are interested in seeing which products I picked up :)

 ♥ Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoo in Turquoise Forever.

 ♥ H&M Volume Mascara in Black.

 ♥ Max Factor Eye Brightening Tonal Black Volumising Mascara in Black Ruby.

 ♥ H&M Lip Gloss in ''Get Into The Party''.

♥ Nail Polish Remover by H&M.

I'm really excited to try out the Tonal Black Volumising Mascara from Max Factor. I haven't heard much about it, but I hope that I'm going to like it and that it actually works. Have you tried it? :)

I have already played around with the Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoo in Turquoise Forever. I'm a huge fan of my neutral eye shadows, so I decided to use Turquoise Forever as an eyeliner, and I really like how it looks. Turquoise Forever  give the eyes a nice pop of color, which is perfect if your not too comfortable with bright colors :)

My Weekly Macro: Vol.3

Hey everyone :)

Happy Birthday is my very first nail polish from Deborah Lippmann, and I absolutely love it. I love wearing it on my ring finger for some extra fun, sparkle and girliness. I don't like using it on all off my nails, because I think it can look a little too much, but that is just my personal opinion :)

Happy Birthday is $18, which is a lot of money to spend on just one nail polish. Lucky for me, it was a gift from my sister Anette. Happy Birthday is a beautiful nail polish, but I don't think I would have spent my own money on it, just because there are so many good dupes of it, which are a lot cheaper too. If I'm going to spend $18 on a nail polish, I'm going to make sure that the shade is unique and that I don't have anything similar to it in my collection.

Makeup & Fashion Haul Post: Calvin Klein, H&M & Makeup Mekka

Hey everyone :)
My mom and I decided to go for a little shopping trip on Thursday, last week. I didn't pick up a lot of things, but I found a few items that I absolutely love, and I wanted to share them with you guys.

I also ordered a few products from Makeup Mekka, which I thought I would include in this post as well. They were having a sale on their website, lots of products for only $1,75. I also picked up a bunch of their makeup brushes, which was on sale too, but I haven't included them in this post. I might share them with you in another haul post, if that is something you are interested in :)

♥ Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria. 

I picked up the new Calvin Klein perfume called Forbidden Euphoria, after seeing Malin from Beautyfuzz rave about it on her blog. When you first spray it on, the scent is quite light, but it gets a little heavier throughout the day. I highly recommend that you check it out, the next time you are in your local perfume store. Forbidden Euphoria is definitely going to be one of my go-to perfumes for the Fall :) 

 ♥ Braided Headband from H&M. 

I picked up this super cute headband from H&M, which is going to look so pretty for the Fall. I can't wait to wear it and share it with you in one of my Outfit Of The Day' posts :)

 ♥ Earrings from H&M. 

How pretty are these neon Pink and black earrings from H&M? I absolutely love them and I'm super excited to wear them :)

 ♥ Makeup Mekka Regular False Eyelashes in Flirt. 

I picked up Makeup Mekka's False Eyelashes in Flirt, which looks like the perfect everyday lashes. These lashes were on sale for only $1.75, which is a pretty good deal in my book. I can't wait to try them out :) 

 ♥ Makeup Mekka - Lipstick in Most Wanted Nude. 

I also picked up this gorgeous nude lipstick from Makeup Mekka's sale. I can't wait to try it out, neutral lipsticks and eye shadows are my favorites :)

♥ Makeup Mekka Lipgloss in Ultimate Nude. 

I also picked up this lip gloss in the color Ultimate Nude, which I think is going to look perfect paired with Most Wanted Nude from Makeup Mekka. I can't wait to try out the combination, just hope its not too light for me :)

Nails Of The Day: Bare To Wear & Waking Up In Vegas

Hey everyone :)
Today, I'm wearing Milani's Bare To Wear which is my favorite greige/beige nail polish. I decided to add Essence re-mix your style dance top coat in Waking Up In Vegas, for some extra girliness, sparkle and fun. I absolutely love how these two nail polishes look together, I can't stop staring at my nails, ha ha. What do you think? :)

I'm in love with this nail polish combination, isn't it pretty? I'm already obsessed with Waking Up In Vegas, just imagine how beautiful its going to look on top off a burgundy, deep blue or a dark purple? I can't wait to pair this with darker colors, its going to be the perfect combination for the Fall :) 

A huge thank you to the lovely Rhi from The Other Side Of Cool, for sending me the Essence top coat in Waking Up In Vegas. Thanks to her, I now have this beautiful top coat. This is my very first product from Essence and I'm already in love with it. I just wish that Essence was available here, because I have heard so many wonderful things about their products :)

Real Techniques Brand Ambassador

Hey everyone :)
I have some really fun and exciting news to share with you guys. About three weeks ago, I got a message on Facebook from Real Techniques and they told me that I had been chosen to be one off their brand ambassadors. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical at first, because their message didn't come from their official Facebook page, and I have heard stories about people being tricked on Facebook before. So I decided to send them an email and ask them about this. When they replied back to my email and told me that it was true, I felt happy and so thankful for the opportunity.

I'm truly honored that they asked me to be one of their brand ambassadors, because I'm such a huge fan of their makeup brushes. They also sent me a package with their makeup brushes, which I'm extremely grateful for. I can't wait to try out all the brushes, definitely keep your eyes open for upcoming photos and reviews :)

 ♥ Real Techniques Core Collection & Travel Essentials.

 ♥ Real Techniques Setting Brush, Stippling Brush & Blush Brush.

 ♥ Real Techniques Shading Brush, Fine Liner Brush & Lash-Brow Groomer.

 ♥ Real Techniques Foundation Brush, Expert Face Brush, Powder Brush & Kabuki Brush.

They also asked me to answer a few questions as well, which you can read about here if you are interested :)

Have you tried out any brushes from Real Techniques before? Which one is your favorite? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Sneak Peek: Foam Rollers

Hey everyone :)
I have always been curious about foam rollers, because I think that they are fun and very different from your usual hot tools. The beautiful Judy from itsjudytime on YouTube did a video about her foam rollers and I thought her curls looked gorgeous, so I decided to pick up a set from eBay.

I really like the idea behind the foam rollers. I love that you don't have to use any heat on your hair, to achieve gorgeous curls. I'm going to try them out tonight, I will keep you guys updated on what I think about them.If you want to check out these foam rollers, here is the link to the eBay seller I bought them from :)

Fashion Haul Post: Gina Tricot, Cubus & Nelly

Hey everyone :)
I have a fashion haul to share with you guys tonight. I went to the mall with my mom on Tuesday, and I picked up a few goodies for the Fall. I also placed an order on Nelly, because they were having a huge sale, so I thought I would include those items in this post as well. Let's get this haul post started :)

 ♥ Sweater from Nelly. 

 ♥ Sweater from Cubus. 

 ♥ Sweater from Nelly. 

 ♥ Top from Gina Tricot. 

 ♥ Boots from Nelly. 

♥ Nude Heels from Nelly. 

I'm really excited about all the items that I picked up, and I can't wait to put together some cute outfits and share them with you guys. It looks like I might have to return the nude shoes which is really sad, because they look so beautiful. I normally don't like to buy shoes from Nelly, because they always seem to be way too big for me. I'm just happy that the black boots fit, because I think that they are going to look so cool for the Fall, what do you think? :)

What do you think about the items that I picked up? Have you picked up any new clothes lately? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥
