Favorite Skincare Products

Hey Everyone!!!

 

To start my new theme, this is my favorite skincare products. I will also do another post of my "not-so-favorite" skincare  products next. I am going to do the products in a random order and my favorite product of each general product...if that makes sense.

 

My Favorite Face Wash

 

 

 

L'Oreal Skin Expertise Go 360 Clean Deep Facial Cleanser

 

This is my absolute favorite face cleanser and that is big because I have tried hundreds of products and this is the only one that has really worked for me. Although it is not exclusively an acne cleanser which most teenagers are looking for, It is a deep pore cleanser which works for me. I have tried so many other cleansers that are exclusively acne and still got acne. But with this I rarely get acne because of this product which makes me VERY happy, being a lot of my friends do struggle with acne. Also, I love the little scrubber on it! I just put a quarter sized amount of the face wash on my hand, put a little water on it, rub my hands together, put it all over my face, do little circular motions all over my face, and rinse it off. I love the clean, fresh feeling I get from it and doesn't burn my face at all, which is always a plus!

 

My Favorite Facial Wipes

 

 

 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes in Pink Grapefruit

 

Tons of people rave about these wipes! They are great when you just want a clean face. They are amazing at treating acne, smell super great, and make you face have a nice, tingly feeling. I actually first tried them out at my friend's house who was like you have to try these because they make your face feel so good!! It's such a good product and I honestly can't say enough good things about them. Just great job, Neutrogena! *high five*

 

My Favorite Facial Moisturizer

 

 

 

Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

 

LOVE THIS! I have a big obsession with moisturizing because I have horribly dry skin on my face and hands. My face gets patchy and red if I don't moisturize at least 5 times a day! And I have to moisturizer my hands like 20 times throughout the day(with a different lotion obviously). Anyways, this product works so well really moisturizing my skin and makes my face sooooo smooth! I'm sure I could find a moisturizer that is much better but for right now this works and I'm sure one day I will find my perfect one! Also, this doesn't burn my face because so many products do which makes everything that much better!! Although this works really well on skin, on the website it does say that it works for all skin types, so if it does that is pretty sweet!

 

Makeup Removing Wipes

 

 

 

Studio 35 Beauty Makeup Remover Towelettes

 

These wipes work so good with getting makeup off and THEY DON'T BURN! Which if you haven't noticed by now that that is a very important factor in a product that infuriates me if it does burn! It's like stop if your product burns and I feel like my face is peeling off! This is all I have to say about this product because it doesn't burn and that makes everything good!  

 

These are really the only products I use on a daily basis. I try to keep it simple and easy so I will do it and not skip it. I truly recommend all these products and let me know what you think and if you have anything I should try! Tweet me @pinkfloral811 and comment below!

New Blog Theme!!!

Hey Everyone!!!

 Sorry I have been off for a while. I had Oireachtas which is basically the Regional Irish Dance Championship and it really takes up my schedule from September to November so that's why I haven't been active.

 

Anyways...I have a new theme for my blog that I'm going to try and do. It'll be "Lifestyle For Less". Basically makeup tutorials, home décor ideas, fashion, anything lifestyle related trying to get the best prices and good products. I will do reviews of different products, recreating looks with not so high end products because a lot of people don't have money for MAC or Sephora, although they have amazing products that we would all love to use. Personally, I'm a 15 year old girl who isn't exactly "rollin' in the dough", if you know what I mean. So I'm gonna try and help you guys save money and still look amazing! That is my #1 goal whether you are 11 or 111!

 

Although, if I do use a higher end item...which would be very rare...I will try to put in a cheaper item that is very similar.

 

So I hope this everyone will be happy with this idea because I am super excited about it!

 

Let me know what you think!

3 Easy And Cute Everyday Hairstyles

Hey Everyone!!

 

Today I'm gonna show you 3 easy hairstyles that I do most of the time. They are so simple and cute! I don't know if this will work very well, in blog form at all but if it does let me know and I'll do more things like this! Also, I have insanely long hair so I don't know how well they will work for short hair, but give 'em a try anyways and we might be surprised!

 

 

The first hairstyle I'm going to show you is a halo/crown braid, whatever you want to call it. I love this because it's so quick and easy but gets tons of complements!

 

 

1. Brush your hair out to make sure you don't have knots because it can make this hairstyle difficult if you do.
2. Next, take a small section from behind one of yours ears, divide that into 3 sections and start braiding it. Then secure it with an elastic.
3. Then do the same thing on the other side.
4. Next, take one of the braids and cross it over your head like a headband look, and secure that with a bobby pin or 2 behind your other ear.
5. Now, same thing with the other side except put it either in front or behind the first braid and secure that.
6. Finally fix your hair haw you want it and your good to go!

 

The second hairstyle is the Katniss braid. I love this because it's so cute and it's Hunger Games so you can't go wrong! Everyone will love it!

 

 

1. The best way to do this is with a side part, if you don't already have one. So make a side part if you need to. And again, make sure that your hair doesn't have any knots.
2. From the larger part, take from your part to about eye level and 2 inches back and separate it into 3 parts and French braid that from there across the bottom of your head, over to the other side. To do the braid across your head, keep it low and bottom and then top(or top then bottom) just like you would French braid you hair, but sideways, if that makes since. And if you don't know how to French braid you can find a tutorial on YouTube I'm sure.
3. Then, when you are at the other side of your head, braid that just like a regular side braid. Secure it with an elastic and you can loosen it and pull parts of your hair out to give it a messier look.

This one may take a little while to get but once you get it, it takes minutes!

 

The third hairstyle is braid half-up-half-down. This is simple, easy and it's a go to look.

 

 

1. First, make sure you have no knots.
2. Then, take a small section just above your ear, and braid that. Also, when you braid it, braid back so it doesn't make a bump on the side of your head when you bring it back. Then secure it with an elastic.
3. Do the same thing with the other side.
4. Next, take the first braid to the middle of the back of your head and secure that with 1 or 2 bobby pins. And do it with the other side, secure that one, and take out the elastics.
5. Arrange your hair by pulling out a few pieces or whatever you want and you ready!

This is so easy it's ridiculous, but looks amazing!

 

So these are a few of my everyday hairstyles. If you have questions or tried any these hairstyles let me know in the comments or tweet me @pinkfloral811.

How I Prepare For Feises

Hey Everyone!!

 

This is a post about how I prep for feises...from about the week before.

 

For those for you who don't know what a feis is and are very confused, a feis is a irish dancing competition. If you aren't associated with irish dance in every way just wait like a day and I will have something else up, but I really want to do some irish dance posts because irish dance is my life...I'm not exaggerating.

Anyways this will be a list of things I do throughout the week to prepare for a day of feising.

 

I live very far away from feises. The average distance to a feis is about 3 1/2 hours from my house. And just to give you guys some general information about my dance status is I'm in U15 Prelim, in the New England region, and yeah.

 

Monday: I have class for 2 hours. I will check that I have every thing essential I need(as well as all the random crap I bring with me that I never use) just to make sure my dress isn't ripped, I have electrical tape, etc.

 

Tuesday: I again have class but only for an hour to an hour and a half. I pick up or repair anything I need to do.

 

Wednesday: I have class again. On Wednesday, I put my bag together. I have a traveling bag on wheels. I don't know what to call it. It's what people bring when they travel. You get the idea I think...Anyways...I don't have a Zuca bag because those are expensive and will probably break it in one feis, but  really like them they are so pretty and look really handy. Mine I have had for a year or so, I got it at Goodwill because I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a bag for feising. But it was like brand new and I got it for like $7.99 and it was the perfect size, not too big and not too small. So I will organize that with little pouches to keep everything in it's place and not everywhere when I get to the feis.

 

Thursday: I don't have dance, so I will practice as usual for an hour or so and fix anything from dance that my teacher told me to work on. Then I will print off the schedule, and number if they let you. Also, I will go to the grocery store with my mom and will get snacks for the ride.

 

Friday: I don't have dance again...:( But I won't practice because then I don't have to worry about pulling a muscle the night before a feis, which I have learned from experience, sucks horribly. I have pulled my hamstrings SO MANY TIMES right before a feis, it is actually ridiculous!!! The moral of the story is DON'T BE STUPID LIKE ME!!! Next, I will pack the car with my dress and bag and anything else I need. Then I will pack our snack bag with pretzel chips, gold fish, granola bars, bottles of water, etc.

 

Saturday: Let's just say the feis is on a Saturday today, I know that's sometimes they are on Sundays, but today they are on a Saturday. So It's feis morning!!*Me being sarcastic* Yay! I get to wake up at 5am! So exciting!! I wake up get dress in ya know, feis stuff, and go downstairs and make my smoothie I make every morning. I can do a recipe on how I make my smoothies if you guys want. Then I make a breakfast with a lot of protein and carbs, especially since sometimes I end up not eating that much before a feis, at least I'm not running my body on a apple and a smoothie...been there...done that...not a good idea. Then after being in the car for a century or so, I do my thang! I can do a more in depth feis day if you guys want, just let me know.

 

That is basically the week before my feis. I hope you enjoyed and let me know in the comments what you do before a feis and if you want me to do more dance things. And if you don't do irish dance, I will have a different post up soon!

My Fave Drugstore Makeup

Hey Everyone!!

 

Today I wanted to do a post of some of my favorite drugstore makeup products, I'll try to put the link to each item next to them.

 

1. Moisturizer

 

My favorite drugstore moisturizer is Burt's And Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion. It's $18 and I really like that fact that it's natural and controls acne. I've never had horrible acne *knocks on wood* but I think that's because ever since I was 12 and had my first few breakouts I asked my mom for some sort of acne wash. A smart child am I! Haha! Anyways, I really recommend this product, it's worked for me for years and I have had a lot of luck with it!

 

http://www.burtsbees.com/Natural-Acne-Solutions-Daily-Moisturizing-Lotion/00177-00,default,pd.html    

 

2. Foundation

 

My favorite drugstore foundation is Covergirl Clean Whipped Crème in 305. This foundation feels so good! It's feels like I have nothing on my face! And when I take it off my face feels insanely smooth! I just love it! It's $7.89. On the website, they have the foundation but in the link it's in the shade tawny but I'm not in that shade, I'm in the shade light, just if you are confused why there is only one shade on there, there is more shades, but I don't know why it only shows that one.(Sorry for that run-on sentence)

3. Bronzer

 

My favorite bronzer is Wet N' Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in 348 Starlight Bronze. It's not the best bronzer in the world, but if you are only looking for a touch on your cheeks, temples, and neck, then it's fine. I really need to try some better ones but this one works for now. It's $3.99 at Rite Aid, for some reason they don't have the prices on their website, but basically speaking this bronzer is in no way expensive! Which is great! BTW I have the WORST time finding bronzers that don't make me look orange because I'm soooooo pale! I'm very Irish haha!

4. Blush/Highlighter

 

My favorite blush is Almay Wake Up Blush & Highlighter...It has been discontinued sadly but I just found this website of discontinued makeup products and they have it so at least you can see what it looks like. It was $10.30, but on the website it's $5.99. But I LOVE this blush and highlighter! It's my life! I HIGHLY recommend this product!

5. Powder

 

My favorite powder is Covergirl & Olay Pressed Powder in 330 Light. I love this powder so much!! It goes on great and I don't have one complaint about it, it's just so great! I can't even! I have the old one, not the one in the silver(and beautiful) new packaging! But I think they are the same thing just in different packaging. So it's $8.99. I highly recommend this product ALOT!

6. Liquid Eyeliner

 

My favorite liquid eyeliner is Wet N' Wild Mega Liner Liquid Liner in 861 Black. It's $2.99 at Rite Aid. I am pretty lucky that I have the natural talent of getting a really good wing, but if you have trouble with doing wings I would recommend a different eyeliner. The only other problem I have with it is I will go through a bottle really quick because it dries up somewhat fast and there isn't much in there. But other than that it's a pretty good eyeliner.

7. Concealer

 

My favorite concealer is Revlon Age Defying Concealer but I couldn't find the shade on the packaging, but basically I'm really pale, and it's the lightest one. It's $10.99 at Rite Aid. They have the concealer on Revlon.com, but it's a new version.(in, again, beautifuler packaging) I really like this mascara, it's been doing its job...So good job Revlon!

8. Mascara

 

My favorite mascara is Maybelline Great Lash. My favorite mascara EVER! I've been using it for over 4 years and tried a ton of mascaras but always goes back t this one...Because it's MAGICAL!!! I can't tell you enough great things about this mascara so I'm just gonna move on...It's $6.40 in Blackest Black. Just get this mascara if you don't already have it!

9. Eye Shadow

 

My favorite eye shadow Maybelline the Nudes Palette. I love it! It's a great alternative to the very expensive Urban Decay Naked Palettes or the Bobbi Brown Nude on Nude Palette or any of those expensive eye shadows. Obviously it's not as amazing as those palettes, but especially for the price it's wonderful! It's $11.99! Which is an amazing price for it, I think!

 

http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Eye-Makeup/Eye-Shadow/The-Nudes-Palette.aspx

 

10. Lipstick

 

My favorite lipsticks are all the Wet 'N Wild lipsticks! You are probably like "But they are cheap!" Yes, they are cheap in price, but defiantly not in quality! The colors are amazingly pigmented, last all day, you can drink and eat and they don't come off. I would pick one of these over a MAC lipstick everyday! And they are only like $1.99 or something crazy like that! My favorites are the Mega Last Lip Colors, but they are all so wonderful, I can't explain!

 

http://www.wnwbeauty.com/product.php?cid=16&pid=58&subid=28

 

11. Lip Balm

 

Sometimes I don't want to wear a lipstick so I just wear some lip balm, my favorite is Eos, I love all the flavors, the are the balm.com. (No pun intended) I have a lip balm obsession, you guys don't even understand, I can't even leave my home without lip balm or a freak out. It's weird...I need to break the habit but I can't! They are $3.29, and they are my life. I love every last flavor I could never choose my favorite.

So I hope you enjoyed this post, and let me know if you tried any of these products and what you think or you have any for me to try. Just leave them in the comments below!
