"Christmas is in the air" FOTD

Yesterday morning I woke up and it smelt like snow. I swear you can smell it when it's coming, and then today it snowed! Just a few sprinkles of snow but I witnessed it right after the Macy's parade and Santa was shown. SO cute!



Since I was in the Christmas spirit, I followed my makeup according to my feelings. So I did a Sparkly smoky eye with red lip:

Eye Shadow: Urban Decay Uzi and Oil Slick

Lips: Sephora Matte Raspberry pencil and Maybelline Lip Diamonds glodd in red

I'm so in love with my new red scarf too! It goes so well with my black peacoat.
So ready for snow and hot chocolate!

My face is stressing!

All day today, I've been studying with a sulfur mask dabbed in certain areas on my face.

I am definitely a hormonal girl, because once a month, when I get "my dot" I get those random blemishes. Plus to boot, I've been getting acne from stress as well. School is not helping, every time I turn around I have another exam waiting for me. So I need help!

My skin type is: combination-dry/ weather effects me

I suffer from eczema, luckily not on my face.

I need HELP! What can I do to stop the break out cycle!

Things that I think help:

1. I drink ALOT of water.

2. I avoid soda because I think corn syrup causes me to break out.

3. Ever since I started BC my skin has cleared alot.

Things that DON'T help:

1. Proactiv, ek, made it worse, for me anyway.


I'm not saying I have a spotted face, but who are we kidding, 1-3 blemishes is enough to cause a stir in my book. Plus, They're always monsterous! I wish I was the girl that had a black head and was complaining, but noooo.

Any secrets you want to share?

Perhaps I need to take up yoga?

New on sephora.com is this set from MUFE. I know I have more than half the stuff in this training case, and yet I need to have this. It's $299 online only. I am adding this to my christmas list!

What do you think? Is this a good deal?

Double Trouble Contest Winners/ much more..

First off this year for Halloween I had to work, so I decided not to invest too much in my costume. I bought a $5 sparkle be dazzle cat ear headband and rocked my cat eye, hardcore!

Check it out:
I'm a vicious cat, lol.
My hair was so soft and curly, I was in love with it all day because it actually stayed curly because of John Frieda's Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hair spray. Love it!

I dolled my best friend up this Halloween as Kat Von D, we did tattoos all up her arm, neck and of course her signature stars on her face. What do you think:
