May Favorites!!!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I tweeted today that I do not have a lot of favorites this month because I have been super busy with finals (which are this week) and graduation events/parties. So until June 5th, I probably will not be tweeting/filming/blogging. I really just want to knock this week out with exams and then come back to y'all. I'm sowwy but school does come first. I really need inspiration for new looks. Tweet me any pictures you want a tutorial on, or any suggestions. It's really important that my videos are videos you guys want to see! :)
Sally Hansen Gel Shine Top Coat:
Nicole Guerrerio has talked about this and I do not normal paint my nails because it just chips off but I went and bought it. I did read the reviews and people have said they notice bumps and it takes forever to dry. I notice that if you apply one thin layer of this top coat, you do not have any problem. Also with the color you paint your nails, if you have more than two coats, you will get bubbles. No more than two layers of nail polish, and one thin layer of this top coat and you are good to go.
Victorias Secret Ultra Moisturizing hand and body cream:
I have a really generous math teacher who had this lotion on her desk for people to use if they had dry hands. I use it like everyday that I have her class and she said I am the only one that uses it so she just gave it to me. The scent is huneysuckle and jasmine. I cannot stand lotion that makes my hands sticky. It is one of the biggest pet peeves I have. This lotion does not make my hands have any oily or sticky feeling afterwards and it smells amazing.
Maybelline Fit Me: Smooth and Dewy Foundation:
I normally use the MAC Pro Longwear foundation but it is quite expensive and a more full coverage foundation. I do not really have anything I need to hide on my face such as acne. I just have discoloration. I also have dry skin so a matte foundation was not going to work for me. My shade is 115 Ivory. I love this foundation because a little goes a long way, it blends out beautifully, and it lasts all day without using a setting powder. Most of my setting powders are matte, but its a dewy foundation and I sometimes set it but not usually. I will have a more in depth review soon along with a foundation routine on my channel hopefully within the next two weeks.
O.P.I Nail Polish in Kiss Me On My Tulips:
I wanted a brighter pink for summer and this is a normal pink. I don't know how to explain it because its so different from anything else I own. Its the perfect pink, not to much to where its florescent, but also noticeable. 
Like I said above I do have finals from June 1st-June 5th. I am hopeful to blog during this weekend but if I don't kust know I am sorry. During the summer, I would like to get on a schedule of having two videos a week. I usually only wear make up on the weekends, so my last two videos have been from a Saturday and Sunday. I don't usually have a schedule because I film when I can, but I will have more videos during the summer since I wont be in school. xoxo

Spring/Summer Clothing Haul!!

The long await is over! My Spring/Summer Clothing Haul is here!! I have a very bipolar sense of style. One minute I'm in sweat pants being a bum and the next I am wearing heels and a blouse. I usually do two clothing hauls each year. One for summer time, because usually I grow a lot in the winter and my last years summer clothes don't fit right so I have to go shopping again, and back to school. This haul includes clothing from TJMAXX, Nordstrom Rack, Hollister, Abercrombie, and Old Navy. Somethings I have alread worn so if I have a picture of it it will be down below.
Nordstrom Rack:

Starting with the first thing I bought is this blue light weight dress from Nordstrom Rack. The Brand Want And Need in size medium. $26.79
Next is this peach dress from the brand As U Wish in size small.
The flash is making it look pink but it peach. The lace is beautiful. $28.97
This is a cream 3 quarter length shirt from Lily White in size medium. $19.97
I have no idea how to explain what this shirt is but its a tank around the shoulder area and it has 3 quarter length sleeves.
This mint color Lush shirt is amazing. I have a dress also from Lush and this is a lightweight blouse for a cool summer night. Size M. $19.97
The shirt is layers in the back and at the top is a key hole.
I like to get a lot of basic shirts for summer. Cute tops that I dont have to wear with a tank top. This is a simple tank with lace along the bottom from the brand Love on a Hanger in small. $16.97
Closer look of the lace on the bottom of the shirt.
Pink/mauve babydoll dress (Brandi Melville look alike) that I found at Meijer. Small/ $12.
Back of the dress.
Funny shirt from Nike. Size small. $16.99
Old Navy:
Floral dress from Old Navy, size small. $29.94
Light wash denium jacket, size small. I took the tag off because I wore it but I believe it was $39
Just a black cover up/cardigan. $19.94
Next is this blue and white maxi dress. It is super comfortable and the colors are perfect for summer. I think it was around $39. Size XS. 

Next are these nude pointed heels. These are Jessica Simpson and I love them. They are so classy and definitely something you need in your wardrobe. Bought from TJMAXX for $34.99.


Two plain crop tops. Black and gray. $8 each from Hollister

Stretchy jeans from Meijer. These are so comfortable. These are skinny and I have a tan pair that are boot cut and if you are one that hates constricting pants you need these. I can move so well in them and they are so comfortable. They were 25% off so I think they were around $20.


These super cute old navy "jeans" are perfect for a chilly night. They are also a lightweight stretch fabric. 
White pants paired with mint lush top and tan jessica simpson heels. 
That is it right now for my Spring/Summer haul, I do want to get more shorts just for everyday wear but I usually just get them from Hollister.

Starting a YouTube Channel....

Hi guys! Welcome back to my blog. I recently started a YouTube channel where I upload beauty and fashion related videos. I have wanted to start a channel for a long time but I was always too scared. I was afraid of being judged or not being talented enough and I would look at girls my age who have successful YouTube channels and I felt very insecure. I still do think I'm not as great as other make up artists but I am also only 16. I'm still learning. Thats one thing that keeps me going is I know one day my skills will be a great as other girls. This isn't just some temporary thing I'm doing right now. I plan on doing this for a career and it is my passion. Nothing feels better than someone telling me they love my channel. I work so hard on all my videos and sometimes it gets frustrating because something isnt working right or I can get the clips right or whatever but when I finish a video and I upload it, its the biggest accomplishment for me. To those of you that have watched my videos I appriciate you guys so much for taking time out of your day to watch my videos and support me. When people say they wouldn't be able to do this without you they really do mean it. 
Xoxo, 
Aubree
