Haullll!!!!!

I may or may not have a slight addiction to shopping. Mainly shopping for makeup. I can't go in to any store that sells makeup and not walk out with something. I recently went to Ulta sooo I decided to show you guys what I bought.

First I picked up the NYX Wonder Pencil it is a "Concealer, Eye Brightener, Reverse Lip Liner in One."  It retails at Ulta for around $4.50. The NYX website (http://www.nyxcosmetics.com) claims it is "the essential pencil that fulfills all of your beauty desires." It comes in three shades : Light(WP01), Medium(WP02), and Deep(WP03).

 
 
 
 
I also got another NYX eyeliner this one is the NYX Retractable Eye Liner mine is in deep blue(MPE14). This also retails for $4.50. I enjoy retrectable liners because you don't need to sharpen them. I own another one of these liners from NYX and I really enjoy them. These come in 18 shades.
 
 
 
 
 
Third thing I got was also from NYX (they were having a buy one get one 50% off sale) was another one of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils.  These are pretty popular and I personally love them. The one I bought is in 601 Black Bean. These are great bases for any eyeshadow and they have tons of colors. They retail for $4.50 as well.  These come in 32 shades!
 
 
 
 
Next I got a lip product from NYX it's the NYX Butter Gloss in Peaches and Cream. It smells amazing and is pigminted which I love because that's something alot of gloss lack. It also lacks any stickiess which is also a must have. These retail for $5.00 and are relatively new to NYX Cosmetics. These come in 12 shades.
 
 
 
Last thing I bought was a Covergirl LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm they have a "Sheer color, soft shine." You can get these for around $8.99 and they come in 16 shades. They are infused with Shea and Mango butters. They also are not sticky at all. The shade I bought was 215 Watermelon Twist. You can guy these at Ulta or other drugstores and www.Covergirl.com
 
 
Hope you guys enjoyed this blog post and I will talk to you guys soon!

Finals😑

We all have them. They are what we dread all year. We want summer vacation  but we don't want to have to do these first. Yep you guessed it, today were talking about finals. Summer vacation is right around the corner, but before we get to bask in the sun we have to take multiple tests on all the information we have learned all year. And by information, I mean the stuff that teacher think we know but honestly we have no clue what they are talking about. For instance, formulas for math. I get that maybe we might need one or two formulas that they teach us, but I don't think that anytime soon I will be calculating relative error. I hate finals, along with every other teenager in the nation and even world. I say instead of taking finals, we get to eat chocolate and ride unicorns...who's with me?!

Random Thoughts

"Never Let The Fear Of Striking Out Keep You From Playing The Game" {A Cinderella Story}

I've always been one of those people who is scared to try new things and likes to stay inside of their comfort zone. I don't stray from what I know and what I am used to. Sometimes I get anxiety towards new things and venturing outside of this barrier I surround myself in. When I find myself doing this and not being able to expand and move out of this rut I try to remember this quote.
This quote is one of my favorites it reminds me that even when there is the possibility of failing (which is always possible) that I shouldn't let that nervousness and anxiety rule my decisions and actions in life.
It helps me think more rationally and calmly and makes me want to be more adventurous. This is not to say that I don't try new things; I do. However, there are certain things I don't think I'll ever stop doing and want to find something new to replace it.

This is kind of a sad and more serious post but I just thought I'd change things up a bit. Sorry about the lack of posts but since schools almost out its starts getting crazy with finals and such.

Talk to you guys soon! -Nicole

Corinne's Go-To Music Choices

This past year, I have really been getting into music. It has such an influence in my life and I have really loved exploring the different genres. I listen to many types of music but I definatly have those few artists and bands that I know I can really depend on for making music that I know i'll love.

Pop
In this genre, I think my favorite band would be The Summer Set. Not a lot of people know about them which is sad because they are so good. The lead singer Brian Logan Dales has a very unique voice which adds a little bit of an edge to their music. Recently they came out with a new album called Legendary which I would really recommend checking out. My favorite song from it would probably be Boomerang because I love the beat and the lyrics. 

Punk
For this, I would probably choose Nevershoutnever. They are a punk band, but they are not too over the top. They have really songs that always continue to make me happy. My favorite song by them would probably be On the Brightside.


Rap 
My last category would probably be rap. For this I chose Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. I did not hear about them, though, the same way most of America did. My brother showed me their song Same Love and I immediatly had the deepest respect for them. Ever since then I have been listening to The Heist non stop because it is that good.

So I hope that you enjoyed my rant on my favorite music. These are definatly not all of my favorites but they are some of them. Make sure to click on the links below to find the songs that I mentioned.

My Favorite Things:

First off I wanted to say that Corinne and I are blogging twice a week as of right now. Once school ends things will most likely pick up but for right now we'll post 2 times a week

So I decided that in this post I'm going to share with you some of my favorite things:

1. Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment - this is amazing if you have a little sucker that pops up and you want pretty much gone by morning, I think it works fantastic. It doesn't dry the skin too much, but I still follow up with a moisturizer just in case
2. Benefit "They're Real!" Mascara - this does exactly what it claims to and I love it! Most mascaras make claims they can't live up to and this one is the opposite. After just a few coats your lashes are longer, fuller, thicker, and semi- false looking. Also I haven't noticed and flaking throughout the day and can even use it on the lower lashes
3. Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream - this works amazingly, it doesn't leave the hands feeling greasy or leave a residue on the skin. It has a unique smell which I do actually like and most importantly instantly makes your hands feel soft and smooth again.
4. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Pacific Blue - this is probably my favorite nail color ever! It's by far the prettiest shade of blue I have ever seen. It's very opaque and I don't find myself having to do 10 coats to get the color you see in the bottle. If you follow us on twitter you've probably seen the photo I posted if not our twitter is : www.twitter.com/NicandCori

And finally last but not least:
5. MAC Studio Finish Concealer - this concealer covers everything! I love applying this with either my finger or my Sonia Kashuk Large Crease Brush. It glides on, is easy to blend, covers exactly what I need it to (blemishes, under eye circles) and looks natural. It also has an SPF of 35 which is also fabulous.


These I products I love and definitely will keep purchasing !

I hope you found this helpful and will talk to you next week! -Nicole

How we Met?

So lets bring in some backround information on me and Nicole's little friendship. It all started in study hall during 6th grade when I decided to talk to Nicole. The most awkward part about this though was the fact that I thought that she was a 7th grader O.O. It was a tincy bit weird at first between us but that study hall turned into my favorite part of the day! We would make up stories and gossip (not like mean girls...) , and one day we came up with an actual screen play. The play was called "Acid Tongues" and it was HILARIOUS (at least that's what we thought). We wrote and drew everything that we wanted to be in it hoping that one day we would get to see it on the big screen. Sadly this did not come true but we still love our screen play and believe in it and maybe one day you will get to see some of it in a video ;) This is how we met and we have been best friends ever since...acid tongues forever <3

When We Have A Half Day...

First blog post this isn't going to be awkward at all. is going to be extremely awkward. I first want to apologize for that... anyways.. Corinne and I had a half day of school yesterday! woo hoo ahaha awkward  and this is how we spent it..
