Jennifer Lawrence Oscar's 2013 Makeup Tutorial

Being someone who has always been a crazy movie fanatic and critic, it may come as a surprise to some of you that I have never really been completely obsessed (or interested) with the Oscar's. I mean, I wouldn't have complained if someone was watching it in the same room as me, but I was just never truly interested. That changed two years ago when Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the movie, "Winter's Bone". She was very new to the acting industry so it came as a surprise to a lot of people when she was nominated. I, on the other hand, never doubted it. She did a fantastic job. So of course I wanted her to win. She was up against big time actresses like Michelle Williams, Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, and Annette Bening, so I didn't really think she would. It would have been quite amazing if she did!!

When I was 13 and wanted to be an actress (like most 13 year olds do) I always dreamed that if I would be invited to the Oscar's, I would wear a red dress. I don't know why. Maybe because the carpet is red, but it was just something that I used to envision in my head. When Jennifer walked out on to the red carpet in a beautiful Calvin Klein red dress, I was more than excited. I know this may sound weird but I feel like I live my 13 year old self's dream vicariously through her. Not only are our personalities very similar (assuming she really is how she comes across in interviews) but we seem to have a lot of similar interests. I feel like a lot of girls think this, so that's why everyone feels like they're best friends with Jennifer Lawrence in their heads ha ha. She's a very humble, well-rounded, and down to earth person, and I like how she doesn't try to change that about herself even with all the fame.

When she was nominated for best actress again this year for her performance in, "Silver Linings Playbook",  I was positive she would win. It was such a great film and I thought she was phenomenal in it. When she did win, I had a grin from ear to ear. Not only because she won, but because she fell on her way to get the award! It was so funny but so cute and typical.

Anyways, the point of this blog is to explain that I thought she looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet, so I decided to re-create the look for you guys. It was a really pretty taupe/neutral smokey-eye, with pink/nude lips, classy hairstyle, and a beautiful Dior dress.

Check out the video below to see how I re-created her look :)

Classy Jennifer Lawrence after accepting her award :P

☯☾ Mila Kunis Inspired Retro Look ☽☯

I don't know about you guys, but I think Mila Kunis is seriously hot. She's definitely my celebrity girl crush. I love every outfit she has worn to an even and every outfit she has worn in a movie. I especially love her fashion and makeup for an everyday look because she's very much laid back and casual, but she often incorporates a little bohemian twist. Now that the 70's style has made a small comeback, I can't help but remember her in the hit television series, "That 70's Show". 

So the other day I decided to have a little fun photo shoot with my younger sister, Kyla because her everyday fashion and makeup is very similar to Mila's (not to mention how much Ky loves her). We found a couple of pictures of Mila through google and decided to draw inspiration from her looks there. She is normally seen with a golden/bronzed eyeshadow, nude lips, messy hair, and an oversized sweater.

I decided to do this look, but also bring in some of her style from "That 70's Show" because I feel that it really defines Mila... and it also looks really good.

Pretty Little Liars Makeup Tutorial: Hanna Marin

Hey everyone!

Today I decided to film a much requested makeup tutorial; a Pretty Little Liars inspired look! I absolutely love PLL so I couldn't wait to do this look. I decided to do Hanna because she's one of my favorite characters on the show and I always love how they do her makeup. The tutorial on how I did this look will be posted below :)

I decided to do my hair this way because of an episode I watched here:

If you have any questions and/or suggestions, let me know in the comments below. Who's your favorite PLL character? Who do you think 'A' is? Do you want me to recreate any other makeup looks/outfits ideas? Let me know!

My Boyfriend Does My Makeup!

Happy Monday everyone! Today is an exciting day. I finally finished editing a much awaited video for you guys, My Boyfriend Does My Makeup. This has been a popular tag going around onYouTube the past year and I couldn't wait to film it. I was a bit hesitant at first because my boyfriend, Daniel, has watched me do my makeup numerous times and I thought he'd do a really good job (the point of the tag being how horrible guys are at doing makeup). But I thought, what the hell, might as well do it anyways and if he's good, then we can all laugh at how good he is at doing makeup... Wow, was I wrong. He was terrible. I knew as soon as he took my pink eyeshadow and applied it as blush, or when he took my concealer and used it as lipstick. All in all it was a very funny video to film and I was completely shocked to see the finished look afterwards.

What was even more hilarious was my sister's reaction. "Oh my God, EW!!" Love her haha.

Thanks for reading!,

Dreamspiration ☮

I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. I don't know if it's because of my new obsession with re-watching all of the LOST seasons before bed, or if it's the stress of school and other things, but this lack of sleep has been making me day dream a lot and has been putting me in to another state of mind.

Many people ask me where I get my inspiration for my fashion and makeup. A lot of it does not come from magazines or online like most people think. It usually comes from inside my head and what I dream about. This lack of sleep has been making my dreams even more weird than they already are. From beaches to meadows, mountains to cities, and animals and music, my dreams are complete and utter insanities.

I found a bunch of pictures that remind me of my dreams and what I see and how I incorporate it in to my daily wear. I feel like I'm delirious with a fever, but it's times like these when I find my best fashion creations...

I love these colors
