Whatever Wednesday: OOTD + Mini Hardy Candy and Wet n Wild Haul/Review

Hello everyone! Today's ootd is super comfy and casual, although not the coolest outfit (I mean that in the temperature sense and the fashion sense). Sometimes you just have to pull out the classics and today was one of those days, as I had to fill out some forms and make some phone calls (some in French which made me a little nervous).  I pulled out some old jeans which have sparkly rhinestones on them so they make me very happy. I am a firm believer in putting rhinestones on everything, and of monogramming everything... Monogrammed with rhinestones.  My shirt is just a simple t-shirt from Athletic Works, and I wore mt leopard print flip flops from Ardenes. On my lips is Mac'c Velvet Teddy and I currently don't have on any nail polish as all of my nails decided to break off! You'll have to excuse my hair, but these are just my natural waves in my third day hair.  I filmed a short review/ haul video for you which you can watch  here . I hope you ar...

OOTD: Vintage Polka Dots

Summer is finally here! Even though today was grey and cold it didn't discourage me from breaking out this new polka dot dress! The skirt is so flowy, and the dress has a such a flattering neckline that I fell in love with it when I saw it at the thrift store. As a student on a budget thrifting has become a nice, new  and gentler on the pocketbook   hobby. I found this dress and loved the a-line cut and vintage feel. I matched my makeup to the dress by going for a simple turquoise cat eye.  The dress is from O'Neill, shoes are from Aldo, and nail polish is Plum Power by Sally Hanson. Hope you are all enjoying the summer and sunshine! x Jess 

How to Apply Eyeliner (Pencil AND Gel)

Eyeliner seems to be the bane of every non-makeup addicts existence... Although maybe some makeup addicts as well. So many people have told me that they don't wear eye liner because it terrifies them and they don't know how to do it. So instead of telling each person how to apply eyeliner, I thought that it would be way easier to make a video! So I made my brother hold a camera for 15min so I could film this spectacle.  You can watch that step by step video  here . (Please excuse the shaky camera, my poor brother had no tripod to help him) A few misconceptions about eyeliner: 1. NO you will not poke your eye out. 2. Black is NOT the shade for everyone. If you are anything but dark haired please, please, please wear brown, grey or blue... Anything but black! it is not flattering at all if you are very fair. 3. Liquid liner is NOT the only way to get a dramatic or daytime look. I honestly prefer Gel/Cream and pencil liner... Liquid is just plain scary...
