Mascara Clump.

so many people who have been around me, being friends,family or

complete strangers ask me what mascara i use.

now i look at them dead in the eye and say

"ive never used mascara, pinky swear"

at time people believe me then others they have to feel my eyelashes...i win.

Now why am i telling you this?

well, the next question always goes

"wow i want eyelashes like that...but i don't even know how to apply mascara"

and thankfully with experience from my mother i know great

mascaras that truly work and the best way to learn!

First stop, LETS FIND A GREAT MASCARA!

Now you dont have to spend loads of money on makeup in general to look great,

i have a Dior eyeliner that was 45 dollars! it sucks bad.

Thats money wasted on a label not a product.

So here's some mascaras that are amazing and cheap!

Five Favorite Mascara's

Number one:

Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara

Not only is this amazing but it's only $6.50 and can be fine at any drug store.

My mom loves waterproof mascara's because when she cries over a cheesy

soap oprea, it wont smudge!

Number two:

Maybelline XXL Volume + Length

My little sister is OBESSED! with this one, she always buys doubles so

she wont get a panic attack when it finishes.

This can be also found at your drug store which is always a plus.

The con thing about it tho, the wand [this is the end of the stick where you would apply]

is short and it doesnt really give the WOW factor, i would suggest this for people who

have medium lashes, not thin or short.

Number three:

Lancome Fatale

Okay so this may be a little pricey but i can say, it's totally worth it. It sells for $21.00,

but if you want super INTENSE length then this is for you, my mom said

that she can almost feel it brushing her eyebrows, haha and i can totally see why,

she looked like a doll.

Number four:

Cover Girl Lash Exact Mascara

So im sure that anyone that you know has one, or you have seen

over 100,000 commericals and MISS Tyra Banks herself talking about it. People

love the way it separates their lashes.

There has to be a reason why everyone keeps getting it...cause it's sooo good!

This one is great for a night out or a date, even better a quick wake up call when test are around

and we look like...shall i say...crap?...ya

Oh and its realllly cheap too!

Number five:

MAC Pro Lash Mascara

its rather reasonable priced compared to drugstore mascaras, it's only $13.00.

This mascara was first used on runways and only makeup artist were allowed to buy them,

until they used it to the genaral public awhile ago.

MAC Prolash mascara is not too heavy or to light. For a more of a natural look,

apply one coat. Now for a dramtic/sexy look apply more coats .

Makeup Application Tips : How to Apply Mascara

So i found this great video on how to apply mascara for people

who are scared that they might poke a eyeball or something, haha dont worry

this video will help you.

Well i hope this helped you, if you have any questions, be sure to ask!

what is your favorite mascara?

a happy birthday!

to my sister melanie and my friend sky! woohoo!

today was a very long day at the Allure Offices and had so much work...

which was due to the fact that i went to sleep at 4am-ish and woke up at 8am

i only had a 4hour sleep

Note to self: sleep! women sleeeep!

So last night im waiting for the bus like always, at around the same time.

The air was super nice and i just spent a good amount of money on

clothes and a garment rack at bed bath and beyond, which by the way was only 20 dollars!

yes, i was super excited! i always wanted one but never really got myself to buy it...So yes...

where was i? ...Ahh yes, so the night was beautiful and the

air was super clear, and by clear, i mean NYC clear...my city homies will understand.

I got on the bus, and there was little to no-one, Then the bus made a stop at 74th street like always to pick up

so as the bus turns slighty to leave a man, middle 30's or so, blue eyes, short dark brown hair, and

a long dark navy blue coat taps on the window...sadly the driver doesnt see him and pulls away.

Now outside me is

"Oh no! well that sucks..."

Inside me is

"HAHAHA loser! maybe if he flys down 3 blocks he can catch it! DOUBT IT!"

i know super mean haha

so what happenes, 2seconds later we are at 77th street and

BAM

he's there!

i was in total shock because it was like magic that he made it 3blocks, the bus was totally fast...

i still can't believe it happened.

As he sits across from me, my face is totally in

mode, but of course i made no emotion to the naked eye.

The funny thing is that he started to talk to me and like many guys in NYC who randomly talk to you, it's a red sign for

creeep!

but for some reason no sign went on and we talked the whole way....

today's veeee-diii-ooOhh of the day:

why? because i love them! this video is pureee love...

love ya <3

What do you wear?

my daily routine.

It begins with my ipod going off 5feet away from my bed,

so it makes me get up to turn it off…not snooze it.

As soon as im awake I put on some tunes,

(randomly of course) look outside the window to figure out if it’s cold or not,

then open my closet.

What you wear can affect how you feel that day, believe me…

even though the weather sucks I always try my best to make sure I like

what I wear when I leave my apartment.

what's your routine?

i love you,

jillian

buzznet fashion:

june paski- her diy dress which i most love!

breesays- she started at a very young age..

marialia- because she's the only one that can rock a jean bow and a spidy tee.

raquel- do i really need to explain...

swingthefocus- not only do i love what she wears, but hello she has a UKULELE!

jessica- there is nothing like a studs and red lipstick

rubi- just cause shes her own fashion style.

Faux Ball.

the Jimmy Choo collection hit H&M.

I have a totally different view then a lot of people that are

getting a little obsessed with faux fur vests.

The funny thing is that I never put in mind that it was kind of a new trend.

Since i dont like anything related to fur, i can't seem to wrap around my head how this is a great thing?

Okay maybe i'm going a little rough since it's not REAL fur, but isnt it kinda promoting real fur?...

I have to admit tho that it looks pretty on tall models and

the H&M faux fur vest looks so warm and cozy,

me i look like a furball...not good.

what do you think about the lastest trend?

i love you! xo

New York Fashion Week

So New York Fashion week is over, OFFICIALY. This saddens me because it's always

great to randomly walk downtown, bump into models and half naked male models haha.

There is also that chance that if you have luck on your side, you can stand at

bryant park and see your favorite designer because everyone enters

though the same doors.

[alexander wang spring10]

With all that said, i have picked out my favorite runway shows. i watched about

40 runway shows on fashion tv [a great channel on my cable, they def know me].

I wrote down my favs

and searched them on youtube to show you. i watched them all so you wont have to watch the

"bad" ones [in my opinion].

This will not included

Marc Jacobs, although he is one of my FAV designers

this year he failed...bad. I miss the old great Marc shows...

Anyways!

Enjoy!

love ya<3

September 10th,2009

was pretty much the best day ever! Not only did i start my internship at Allure Magazine,

but so was the start of Fashion Week and the day that every designer and fashion

student/or anyone who knew, was waiting for.

Now i am aware that many of you have no idea what this event meant,

so no worries, let me explain it to you.

Explain:

Fashion Night Out was on September 10th, on this day the main goal was

to bring back the economy by shopping and enjoying it. Some might say a way to celebrate Fashion and it's history.

Vogue and CFDA (which is fancy for [Council of Fashion Designers of America]) got together to create the day.

The event:

Everywhere, they tired to do it global.

New York, United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Russia, France

Brazil, India, Spain, China, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan

Quote:

"America’s fashion capital, New York City. Next only to finance, fashion is the second-largest sector of industry in New York City—the headquarters of more than 800 fashion companies employing 175,000 people and generating $10 billion in total wages. At City Hall’s May 20 press conference to announce Fashion’s Night Out, Vera Wang said, "To put it bluntly, if people don’t shop, people lose their jobs."

Video:

Hope that this made you understand, why that day was really special to me, and to be 100% honest what made me smile was to see people enjoying themselves while shopping.

Now for some photos:

remind you about Fashion Night Out, an event with most of the top designers in New York City!

check out the website! Let me know if your planning on going, im volunteering [I'll let you know where soon!]
