Back to School: Whats in my makeup bag?

Hi loves! Today you get an inside peak in my back-to-school makeup bag. I use a decently tiny bag and literally fit about fifteen different necessities! So lets take a peek!
In order from left to right:
1. mints
2. mini hairbrush/mirror with ponytails wrapped around it
3. empty tic-tac container with bobby pins in it

4. pressed powder
5. deodorant
6. chapstick
7. hand sanitizer
8. mini nail file
9. Midol/Ibuprofen
10. bandaids
11.glasses cleaner
12. extra contact case
13. eye drops


These thirteen little things are all you need! They all fit in this little bag too! PS- be careful about the Midol/Ibuprofen if your school does not allow you to carry around medicine. However, at work, I would definitely bring this ;)





Happy September loves!
Xoxo,
Emily

How to Wear Black and White in Summer!

Hello my darling! Today I am going to be showing you some black and white pieces from my own closet, and how I made them summer appropriate! Everyone has some black and white in their closet, but you may not know how to wear them together without looking like a chess board, or how to summer-fy them! Well keep scrolling to see my pieces and how I styled them!
 I paired a black maxi skirt with my too-sassy-for-your Brandy Melville crop top and some gold gladiator inspired sandals from H&M.
This beautiful dress with the interesting back is from American Eagle. Bonus: got it on clearance for like $17!

Lastly, my black crop top is from Charlotte Russe and my polka dot high-waisted skirt is from H&M. Also, I accessorized with long necklaces and some bracelets/rings!

I hope this gave you all some inspiration! Leave me comment and pictures down below, along with any other questions you have!
Xo,
Emily

Review: Loreal

Hi loves! Guess what today is? Yes... time for another mascara review!! I recently bought the Loreal Paris Double Extend mascara after getting an eye infection from my Maybelline The Rocket. Read that review here:
 http://darlingyouareadoll.blogspot.com/2013/08/maybelline-rocket-mascara-review.html
This was a pretty good mascara so check out my pros and cons below.

Pros: This mascara is really good and lengthening and good at thickening. If you have sparse lashes I would not recommend this, however if you have shorts lashes I would totally recommend it. (It is only $SIX dollars).

Cons: I cannot really tell if it holds a curl, so if that is your main focus when buying mascara, I would recommend this, but if you want to try it, YOLO right?

Here is a pic of my eyes with the mascara on the left and not on the right, but I also have my typical eyeliner and eyeshadow on both.


Another thing I did not really love about this mascara, was the white side. It made my lashes look grey when I layered the black over it, so I never really used it. However, I would probably buy the black size by itself in full size. PS- the black thickens and white lengthens.




That's it loves! It was not a very exciting post, but stay tuned for Friday; I will be raving about THREE  drugstore hair products I am in loooove with!
XoXo,
Emily

PS. On Season Five of Gossip Girl thanks to Netflix! I don't want it to end! ;)

How To: Get the Softest, Summer Skin of your life!

Hi dollies! This whole summer I have been using three amazing body products from The Body Shop. Keep reading form my three step process to gorgeous, smooth skin!
 
 
 First, I use the Satsuma body polish in the shower with a loofah. This smells like oranges and is extremely refreshing! When I use this in the morning it is so energizing and happy smelling LOL!
 Second, I use the Body Butter! This one is Brazil Nut, but they have so many choices including strawberry, coconut, mango, lemon, papaya, aloe, sweet pea, etc. I love this body butter above any others, because it has different moisturizing levels. For instance, they sell body butters specific for normal skin, dry skin and very dry skin.  In summer I mix the dry skin wit my regular St. Ives lotion, and in winter I alternate the dry skin and very dry skin about every two days.
 Lastly, I lightly rub this Coconut Shimmer on my legs and sometimes on my arms. This can be really sparkly, so a tiny bit goes a long way, but it makes you look so photograph smooth!

I hope this little tutorial/review helped you out so you can achieve that beautiful summer skin!
