fall 2013 trend alert - orange eyeshadow

so the title of this post is kind of scary. orange eyeshadow?! that just seems like a lot to me but i tested it out and i am beyond obsessed. this look was all over the runway at fashion week and it really is worth checking out.

i picked up this eyeshadow from MAC called rule and i have worn it almost every day since purchasing it. here are the different ways i have been wearing this:



1. as an all over lid color. this is the primary way this was worn on the runways but it is a little bit more of a daring look

2. in the crease with my normal everyday makeup. this color has expanded my everyday make up look into something much warmer and autumnal (i just love that word!) 

3. all over my lid with the eyeshadow MAC gleam on top. gleam is a shiny golden pink. the warmth of the burnt orange color mixed with the coolness from gleam leaves an awesome effect on your eyes.

4. in the crease with a smokey brown eye. similar to #2 this has provided a nice change to my normal brown smokey eye. 

i feel like i will discover more and more ways to play with this color throughout fall and winter and definitely recommend you picking up a burnt orange color to add to your eyeshadow collection. 

let me know in the comments if you would like to see a tutorial on any of these looks!

Not your mothers way to grow long and strong review

Oh well hi hey there HELLO! 

That is a lyric from one of my favorite new bands, the mowglis. Y'all definitely need to check them out! I know I have been mia and in all seriousness I don't have an excuse. But I am back and BETTER THAN EVER! so let's do this...

i promised this review a really long time ago but i finally finished the Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Long & Strong Hair shampoo and conditioner. soooo let's talk about it. 



as far as growth i didn't really see any. not part of me thinks that this could be due to the fact that my hair was SO DAMAGED from having the absolute shit bleached out of it. (i have since dyed my hair back to my natural color and cut off the dead ends so it is looking much better!) so that my opinion on that could be swayed. with that being said i DEFINITELY feel like my hair was getting stronger when i was using this product and OH MY GOD it smells AMAZING! like i got so many compliments on how good my hair smelt when i was using these. 

all in all i really enjoyed these and would absolutely repurchase them. i picked them up at Ulta where at the time they were buy one get one 50% off. YOU can grab them here:

(they are currently on buy one get one 50% off too as of 10/22/2013)

anyway, i hope this was helpful!
