My Picks for February

Hey Everyone!
I hope you all are doing well! I am still working with how to take pictures but they will get better soon. I promise! March is tomorrow! Yay! I am so ready for spring! I am so tired of the cold, gloomy weather. I want to wear dresses and skirts and not have to wear my coat 24/7. But how did your February go? I hope it when well! :D
Today, I am going to tell you about my February picks. Now I do not have a ton of make up products. I have more random favorites this month!

1) Anastasia Brow Wiz: This month I tried the Anastasia Brow Wiz in the color Caramel. Now I have tried brow pencils before but they were all from the drugstore and they got used up so quickly because I would always break the tip. But I have been really loving how my brows have been looking with this product. It is very easy to apply. The pencil itself is creamy and smooth. I like that it is a twist up because it helps save the product. Also, I do not have problems with having this pencil break on me. I do not know why, but no matter how much pressure I put on the pencil, it does not break. This is pricey for a brow pencil. It is $20. But if you love your eyebrows and are willing to shell out the money, I highly recommend it because it really is amazing.

2) Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel: This month I tried out another Anastasia product. It is the Anastasia Brow Gel. I LOVE this product. I think I love this product a little bit more than the Brow Wiz. The reason why is because I just swipe two coats on my brows and I am out the door. No fuss or anything like that. And when you apply it and let it dry, it won't budge. Like one of my fears with make up is that when I rub my face, one brow will stay put and then the other brow will just disappear and no one will tell me! But so far that has not happened with this product. This product is also pricey. It is $22. Now you can always get the any clear brow gel but if you want a nice tinted brow gel that won't budge, this is your product.

3) Buxom Full-On Lip Polish: Now I have done a whole review on this product. Here I give more information about the product and why I love it. But basically this is a simple lip gloss that you can throw on and it goes with anything. I really enjoy this product. It is pricey for a lip gloss at $19. But if you want a simple lip gloss that you do not have to think about, I think you will really enjoy this.

Now onto the the random favorites!

4) Torri Kelly Pandora Station: Words cannot describe how obsessed I am with this Pandora station. I heard about her from the Super Fruit channel on YouTube. They are two guys from Pentatonix, Scott and Mitch. They did a mash up with her and I fell in love with her voice and when I listened to her Pandora station, it was perfect. It has John Legend, John Mayer, Ariana Grande, and a whole bunch of different artist. If you enjoy those artist, I think you will enjoy her music.

5)
The Carrie Diaries! Words cannot describe how much I love this show. Now I have not seen Sex and the City but I really want to. But this is based on Carrie and it is her pre Sex and the City days. This show has sexy guys, amazing fashion, and realistic problems that teenagers face. When this show first came out, I really did not want to see it but one day I was bored and it was on Netflix andI put it on and then I could not stop watching it. The chemistry with Anna Sophia Rob and Austin Butler is amazing! And one of my favorite characters is Mouse. If you have Netflix, I think you should see it because it is sweet and a cute TV show to get into if you like teen drama, high fashion, and the 80's!
6)

  
The movie Stuck In Love has two of my favorite actors and they are Lily Collins and Logan Lerman. I think they both are really talented and when I saw they were in it, I knew I had to see it. This story is about a dad, who is an amazing author, who is stuck up on his ex wife that left him two years ago. His two kids, one in college, one in high school both like to write and it is about how they fall in love and deal with their dad and mom. This movie is not for anyone under 13is because it does have swearing, drugs, and some nudity. But the story line is what made me fall in love with this movie. The movie was just so brutally honest about life and this family. This movie is on Netflix and I highly suggest you watch this if you are into romance, comedy with a mixture of sadness and heartache.

7) The Death Class: The True Story About Life: This book is INCREDIBLE. It is by the author, Erika Hayasaki. It is about a journalist who follows this professor who teaches a college course on death. The story shows the pain and suffering of four of her students as well as her own life. This book takes place throughout a span of 10 years. This book is brutally honest about addiction, homelessness, jail, and death itself. I think this book is more for anyone 16 and up because the topics throughout this book is not for anyone younger, in my opinion. But if you have the time to read it, I highly suggest it because it opens your eyes to so much. And I will be doing a book review on this soon. 

8) Blogilates! Blogilates! Blogilates! Now you all are probably what is that! This is a Youtuber named Cassey and I have been loving her because she has been kicking my butt to get into prom shape! Now I have always loved her videos but since prom is in three months, I am working my butt off and she has been helping me. This is her YouTube channel. And This is her official site. She has recipes, a calender with workouts to do and her own workout clothing line! She is super peppy and sweet and she makes you work hard but you are having fun in a way. A very painful way but hey! So check her out because she's awesome!
9)
Last but defiantly not least was THE SOCHI OLYMPICS. I love the Olympics. It doesn't matter if it is the Winter Olympics or if it is the Summer Olympics. The whole two week span of it just makes me so happy. This year my dad and I got really into watching Curling because it was always on in the morning before we went to work and school. And at night my family really got into figure skating and all the snowboarding and skiing events. But the biggest upset was when USA lost to Canada in hockey. We won silver for female and we did not win any medal for the men's and it was really sad but one day, we will get our revenge. But congrats Canada! Now some of you may be wondering why I have a gold medal in my picture. It is because my dad's job worked with the Olympics and he got a bunch of free goodies. So no, I do not know anyone who went to the Olympics. Sadly.

PS: I GOT MY PROM DRESS. :D
Those are all my favorites! I know not a lot of makeup but that is okay. I hope you enjoyed me adding my random favorites in there. I will be doing more reviews and just random blog posts next month. If there is any specific blog post you want me to do, please let me know because I will be happy to do it. I hope you had a wonderful month and have an even better March! :D
PPS: Most of these pictures are from Google
Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

Spring Trends 2014!

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally here! I am so excited for spring because I am tired of the cold. But where I live it is still freezing.....oh spring, where are you? Anyways, I wanted to show you all my favorite Spring Trends for 2014! Even though summer is my favorite season, spring trends this years are really fun. My first favorite trend is blood orange lips! Now when I first saw this trend I got really confused because the blood orange color seems more like a summer trend. But this has been all over makeup magazines and this trend was also popular on the runway during Fashion Week. What I really like about this trend is that your whole make up look can be soft and dewy and the POW! Blood orange lips! The lips seem to make any makeup look put together. Plus it makes you stand out and then you will be a trendsetter. The next trend that I have been loving is pastels!  Pastels is always a trend during the spring time but pastels are just amazing! But this year it seems...
