Importance of Chaptick!

Hi Everyone
I live in the midwest and during out 3º F weather lips get chapped really easy. Even if you don't live in cold weather and your lucky enough to have summer all year around you still need protection on your lips so they do not get sunburned (yes lips can get burned).
My favorites are
Burts Bees
Nivea
Revlon Lip Butters
Maybelline Color Whispers
And the newest edition is Tartes Amazonian Butter Lipsticks

All are great options the last few are for those that need some color on their lips.

Hope this helps!
Always
Amanda

My Everyday Make-up

Hi Everyone!
So lets face it I wear makeup and I love it!

I wear makeup everyday not because I want to impress anyone...well maybe a few people. But I just love the concept of makeup. I love putting it on, experimenting with different looks, new products! Ahh I just love it all!
My daily needs are

  • Primer (I have very oily skin in my T-zone, so I need some extra help to keep my makeup on all day)
  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Bronzer
  • Blush
  • Mascara
  • Tinted lip-balm
Now those are my necessities. I will use eyeshadow depending on how much time I have in the morning if anything ill just use something like a Maybelline EyeTattoo, or some kind of color base. Lately I have been loving Makeup Forever's cream shadows. I got one in a kit and I am in love! A great dupe for the MUFE is Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Inked Pink. By adding that it gives my eyes some oomph and makes it seem like I spend a lot of time on my makeup but it really only took 5-10 minutes.

I will have a post on products i'm loving at the moment. But I just started using some new products and I want to see how they perform so I'm gonna try them out for a little bit more then ill do a full post of my everyday makeup in detail( list of products, how I like them) that type of thing.
Thanks
Always

Pageantry is my Sport!

Hi Everyone.
Pageants are such a controversial topic due to all the honey boo boo, toddlers and tiaras and how media has turned the meaning behind pageantry into this joke.

Pageantry for me is a sport. I get laughed at all the time when I say this, and here is a definition of a sport-
         An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.

So let me break this down-the physical exertion doesn't have to be about running up and down a field or court. Training for pageants takes months of practice. Whether it consisting of training in a gym, practicing your walk etc. All of that takes some form of exertion and practice.
The competition- just because your not competing against a team of people you are competing against other girls that are going after the win. 

So to me- Pageantry is a sport. 

I will continue this post with a series about pageants. If you have any questions post them in the comments and I will try to answer every one in a future post!!!

WELCOME

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to my blog!
This blog is going to be about everything I love. I am very girly and truly have a passion for nail polish, make-up, fashion (couture and everyday), hauls. You name something girly and I probably love it.

A little bit about myself I live in Minnesota, I'm in college and I like to compete in pageants. 

This blog will be about new products i'm trying out, reviews, tips, etc. 

Not everything will be about makeup. I might blog about the most random topics ever!

So I hope you like my blog and stay tuned for more in the future!

Amanda
