Apologies

   Hello! So I know it has been a long time, but don't hate me! I was on vacation with no wifi. I visited England, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Belgium. It was amazing but I am so glad to be back. I am ready to flood you with posts about summer styles and such. -Lottie

Beauty Haul

   I just went on a beauty haul to a load of stores the other day. I might give some reviews on products   I tried. I first stopped at Sephora but I had gone not to long ago and there wasn't anything new or interesting. Then, I headed over to a Mac but I'm saving my money for summer wardrobe and decided to find another store to fix my beauty buzz. Of course, I head to Walmart. Yes, I am aware that it is Walmart but the one near my house is so beauty stocked it's crazy. I picked up infallible eyeliner from L'Orielle which has a smug end and a sharpener built in! It was about $7 but looked like it had a lot of product in it. I then picked up a Maybelline eye shadow palette in 700 natural shock. It has four colors in it, perfect for an everyday eye. I can't think of how much it was but definitely not higher than $10. I picked up just a Jergens ultra healing moisturizer because you never know when you're going to need that and it was on sale for around $1. The last thing I got was a six price brush set/carrying case from Eco tools. These are really smooth and feel great on my face even though I have really sensetive skin. It also had a wide variety of brushes which helps with day to day wear. That was around $10 which is pretty good for that quality brush. That's all I got this haul but I think it will be summery clothes time soon. Yay!

May

   Happy May Day everybody! It's the first day of may which makes me really excited because I can't wait until summer when I have loads of time to visit my friends again. Also, since may is in and April is out, the stores will quit trying to push the overly obsessive florals, unlike the cute ones that they have in the summer and ofher parts of fhe year. I feel like these are always pushed in my face during the spring but soon summer clothes will be in and the world will be back to normal. Also, summer is a great time to try new looks and makeup (but your summer foundation is most likely different than other times of the year, so be warned). Lastly, I am so glad to see that so many of you from all around the world read my blog posts. However, do you think I should start making YouTube videos so you can really get to know me, or shall I build up my blogging credentials? Comment below to help and happy may!

Outfit of the Day

  

This outfit is super cute and can be dressed up or down. The skirt is in high-low style and is a true bluey color. I got this from H&M for about $18. I paired it with a cream shirt also from H&M for about $24. The top of the shirt is sort of meshy and it has a high collar surrounded with diamonds (not real, of course). The shirt looks well tucked into the skirt to balance out the flowy-ness of the skirt. This ensemble looks really cute with a long necklace and boots to dress it down or heels and a silver bracelet to dress it up.

Review: Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

   I absolutely LOVE the Lashblast mascaras from Covergirl. For Christmas I recieved a little Clinique gift bag (you know the one you get when you spend x amount of money). In it came all your basics, including mascara. I was using that mascara for a little while, and although I loved the volume it gave my lashes, they were so clumpy! I normally buy my mascara from higher end stores like Sephora or Mac, but I was getting medicine from the drugstore and saw their Covergirl line, and I couldn't resist myself. I found a few that I liked, I bought three and tried them on. Out of Clump Crusher, Volume, and 24 Hour, I liked Clump Crusher the most and have used it every day since. A few things that make this perfect is the special archy brush and the water resistant mascara. Also, the big green tube is hard to miss in a makeup bag. Just some thought on this product! -Lottie

Clinique Dramatically Different

                               
  Recently I tried the dramatically different moisturizing lotion from Clinique. I have to say, I felt dramatically different. It worked really well on my facial skin (which is really sensitive) and really locked the moisture in. It only cost $13 when it was on sale, which I thought was a little pricey. However, it works really well on my skin and has lasted me quite a while for putting it on twice a day. I have had it for a couple of months and it is about two thirds of the way full. Also, what I like about it is that a little goes a long way. Lastly, it is 100% fragrance free and is allergy tested. try it out for size and see if you like it as much as me! -Lottie
