I love winter. Winter is the season of red lipstick, in my opinion. It was one of my new year's resolutions to make it more than a "one season" color for me. Trying out all different shades has been half the fun, but I've found the lip color that rules over my heart. It's the lip color tint I introduced you to in my <a href="http://www.groupieglam.com/2014/12/christmas-goodies.html">previous post</a>. It's turning out to be one of my favorite Christmas gifts. A little goes a long way and <b>stays</b> on for a much longer amount of time than my lipsticks. It's not sticky and my favorite part - it doesn't feel like I have anything on. Perfect!</div>

I like classic looks. I love pairing a bold lip with a neutral eye. Here are some pictures from my makeup look for church on Sunday - featuring my new favorite lip color!</div>

Yes, I'm a little late. But as I said earlier, I'm in the middle of moving out. Once everything has calmed down (probably around February), I'm going to start posting much much more. Makeup looks, outfit looks, product reviews, etc. My resolution is to post more and that's a resolution I'm going to keep (I'm putting it in writing on the blog, so I pretty much have to keep it now to avoid looking like an absolute idiot). What resolutions are you guys making for 2015?<br />
<br />
Also, most importantly, what kind of things would YOU like to see on the blog? It would help out and inspire Summer and I so much to hear what things you guys are interested in.<br />
<br />
If you have any beauty resolutions for 2015, post them below. We'd love to hear them!<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season this year.<br />
<br />
This year has been wonderful and insanely busy for me. I'm starting a new season of my life in just a few weeks ... I'm moving out on my own! I've been crazily shopping for the perfect pieces of furniture in IKEA and countless vintage thrift shops. Most of my money has been going toward that - so my makeup (and concert) addiction has taken a serious hit! I've been cutting many, many corners. So, I haven't felt like many of my looks or reviews have been worthy of posting.<br />
<br />
This Christmas, though, I received some new goodies I've been dying to try. I haven't tried them all yet, but I'm looking forward to trying everything for New Year's Eve.<br />
<br />
Here are my Christmas makeup goodies:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you know from <a href="http://www.groupieglam.com/2013/10/treasure-bruno-mars.html#more" target="_blank">previous posts</a>, I adore Benefit's High Brow pencil. I've purchased it multiple times. But I never branched out to try the <i>Glow</i> version of this makeup staple. This year I put it on my Christmas list and I'm so glad my mom decided to buy it for me. I tried this first thing on Christmas day. I don't know if I'll say that I love it <i>more</i> than the original high brow. But it's definitely a nice option to have when I'm wanting to add a little more shimmer. . </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I don't have a bathtub. But I do have a shower. So I tried this on Christmas morning. Funny thing is - I ordered this online for my Mom for Christmas based on the reviews. It smells amazzziiinnnggg and my skin feels just as amazing after using it. My mom 100% agrees. I will definitely be visiting and spending too much money in a Lush store very, very soon.</div>

As most of you know, I recently started a book blog which has become extremely successful in a short amount of time. Since I havent had much time to blog here, on Groupie Glam, I decided that I should start combining my posts! I recently read the most amazing series by Stephanie Perkins and the books were SOOO <b>GOOD</b> that I thought, why not use these books as my first inspiration for a nail design. The ombre on all 3 of these covers are so beautiful and it was really hard to decide which to do first. After debating it for a while I decided to just go with which book I enjoyed the most! Isla and the Happily Ever After won out because the characters were extra adorable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ill post the next few designs in the coming weeks. Do you guys have any suggestions on which books you would like me to interpret onto my nails?!! leave suggestions in the comments! </div>

Using the right products not only helps keep your skin healthy, but it gives your makeup a photo-finished look!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've suffered from acne all of my life and I've been working really hard to keep up a great skincare routine. I have tried many, many products from both the doctor and my local drugstore. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is my current pre-makeup routine that I'm quite pleased with:<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the newest addition to my skincare routine. I received this product from an <a href="https://www.influenster.com/" target="_blank">Influenster</a> Vox Box and I was beyond impressed with the results. Aveeno is a great brand in my book! My dermatologist recommended it to me years ago. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a lot of acne scars on my face, so this product has significantly helped with the overall tone and evenness of my skin. I apply it to my uneven spots on my skin right after I finish washing my face. It leaves my skin silky smooth and also has been a great help with the overall appearance. When my sample runs out, I will be running out to the store to buy some more. Give it a try! You won't regret it. </div>

A SPF moisturizer will help keep your skin looking fresh and protect you from damage from the sun. Even on a day when I don't have much time in front of the bathroom mirror, I always always always apply my moisturizer. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I go between three different brands ... depending on how well I'm doing on my budget that week. Right now I'm using a CVS brand. Usually, I like to go for something with a higher SPF, but I've been trying to cut corners lately in my wallet. This CVS brand has been pretty comparable to my other favorite brands on the splurging side: Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 ($17.49 at <a href="http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/Aveeno&174-Positively-Radiant-Daily-Moisturizer-SPF-30?skuId=339950" target="_blank">CVS</a>) and Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer SPF 50 ($13.79 at <a href="http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/Cetaphil-Daily-Facial-Moisturizer-For-All-Skin-Types-SPF-50?skuId=482797" target="_blank">CVS</a>).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can't go wrong with one of these brands!</div>

Like I said before, I have a good amount of acne scars that I'm trying to lighten up. I told my mom I wanted a good BB+ cream and she came home from Target one day and surprised me with this. Best mom award! This stuff is a lifesaver when it comes to evening out my skin tone! Before I started using Aveeno's Tone Corrector, I could have sworn this actually helped with my acne scars as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I first started using it, I broke out for a good two weeks. It was not fun. But I just kept on using this in my daily routine and before I knew it, my skin and makeup were both looking fabulous! I've tried pleeeennntyyy of BB+ creams but this one has become a staple! It really transforms my skin into a clean canvas for some makeup!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On days when I will only be leaving the house to go to the gym, I'll stop my makeup routine right after applying this. It's perfect under your makeup, but also perfect if you want to keep it light on a low-key day.</div>

I had to try it out after the sales associate at Sephora gushed over it. I'm usually too trusting of sales associates, but luckily the associates at my Sephora are honest and have completely freakin' awesome taste in product. </div>

There's nothing like a good primer to make your skin feel silky smooth before applying your makeup! Give this one a try if you have a little extra money to spend. Or better yet, if you're a <a href="http://www.sephora.com/vib" target="_blank">Beauty Insider</a>, maybe you'll be lucky enough to snatch up one of these samples the next time you're at the checkout counter!</div>

As some of you know, We have been sponsored by Zoya Nail Polish for a few months. We received all of their new Summer Collections in May. Since I was out of the country - I havent had a chance to post any of the swatches or discuss much about the products. ANYWAY, since they are Zoya Polishes - they are all perfect. Would you expect anything less??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its also been a while since we have had a <strong>giveaway, </strong>So we thought.. "Lets just go ahead and giveaway the whole set of pixie polishes!" Now these polishes are matte glitters and im sure you are thinking UGH! matte always chips... NOT THESE BABES. I swatched each of these colors on one finger, no base coat, and no top coat (obvs, its a matte so I didnt want to make it shiny with a top coat) and I did NOT see any tip wear or chips until the 3rd day. I left it on for 5 days and in that time I only had 1 finger chip, the other two showed a bit of tip wear.. but these ARE AMAZING... hmmm, on second thought maybe I should keep these for myself. HA! Just kidding! </div>

As most of you know from my last post, I recently went on a trip to Europe with my best friend. Part of the reason that I was so excited was that I would finally be able to get my hands on a few products that aren't available in America. The friend that I was travelling with, Taylor, watches several European beauty gurus on youtube and had a list of things she wanted to pick up - I on the other hand, just purchased what called to me in the moment haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of the products that I purchased are in the photo below. More detailed pictures of each product will be after the cut!!!</div>

The first photo I have for you is of the "Storm" palette by Sleek. The colors in this palette are SO PIGMENTED OMG. I hadnt really looked into swatches of the different palettes and only chose this one based on how often I thought I would wear the colors. Since I bought this one I have worn it at least twice a week. Its amaazzzinnngggg. This was purchased at SuperDrug in London, England.</div>

The next stop we made was in Rome, Italy. We were sightseeing and were walking between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain along Via Del Corso, which is a major shopping streen in Rome. While walking, we passed Kiko - which is an Italian makeup company. Walking into this store was a bit crazy. It was SO CROWDED that you couldn't move... which means that I LOVED IT. Several of their makeup pros were walking around and assisting anyone with questions and everyone was friendly and pointing out things that would look good on you. It was fantastic. The photos below are a few of the items that I purchased at kiko</div>

The highlighter that I purchased is from the Rock Collection that they released this spring. Its very similar to Mac's Vanilla. Its my first full size highlighter and I love it but I wish it had more sparkles!!!<br />

As some of you know, this week I am going to be heading out of the country for a trek across Europe. That being said; I am planning on taking as little as possible since that pesky luggage allowance limits me to 50 lbs. As I was going through my makeup kit trying to decide what I wanted to bring, I realized just how hard it is to limit yourself to just the basics!</div>

Recently, I made a purchase with <a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/" target="_blank">Younique</a>. I purchased the 3D Fiber Lashes. This isn't your ordinary mascara. This mascara is a four-step process that promises fuller and longer lashes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3D Fiber lashes includes two tubes: the transplanting gel and the natural fibers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step one:</b> Put on your everyday mascara as normal. I use Revlon's 3D Volume mascara, which you can find at your local drugstore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step two:</b> After your regular mascara dries, coat your lashes evenly with the transplanting gel. </div>

<b>Step three:</b> Immediately after, coat your lashes with the natural fibers. (Tip: Do one eye at a time to prevent the transplanting gel from drying up.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step four:</b> Finish up by coating your lashes once again with the transplanting gel. You can repeat step three and four to get your desired result.</div>

<b>Pros:</b> Yes, it works. As you can tell from the picture, my lashes are much fuller and longer in the "after" picture. I used about two or three coats of Younique's product to achieve this affect. I used only one coat of Revlon in my "before" picture. It's a great alternative to using false lashes. If you don't feel like dealing with glue or don't have any false lashes on hand, I would definitely recommend adding this to your beauty bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cons: </b>It's a lengthy process. It's also messy, clumpy and takes quite a bit of practice. At first, I had the fiber lashes all over my face. With practice, I've learned how to keep the stray fibers and clumping to a minimum. The above picture was taken after my first time using this product. Don't be discourage the first time you use it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price: </b>$29</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants full lashes without the hassle of using fake lashes. Personally, I like the end result of fake lashes better than using this product. For a special event, I will still use my favorite falsies. For an everyday event when I don't feel like wearing false lashes all day, I definitely pull this out! I will most likely purchase this product again ... unless I find a better drugstore solution in the meantime!</div>

What do you think? What's your stance on false lashes? Will you give this product a try?</div>

Earlier this week I received an email from our friends in the Zoya Nail Polish PR department. After reading the email - I was SO EXCITED. Zoya is one of my all time favorite nail polish brands. All of their formulas are consistently amazing and their color selection is always so yummy. Some of my all time favorite polishes are made by this amazing brand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway - onto why they emailed! Zoya is going to be releasing their Summer '14 polish collection on May 15th (pre-order starts in April) It has been a while since I have been this excited about a polish collection. These colors are perfection. Some of the stand out colors for me are Muse, Harper, Rooney, Ling, and Tilda.6 of these beauties have holographic glitter (bubbly) 6 are creme finishes (tickled) </div>

ME TOO. So I am on a mission to save us all from that feeling! I have thrown together a list of the B E S T dupes that will save you TONS of money. </div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Below is a list of 7 MAC lipsticks that have been duped by Wet-N-Wild, who is quickly becoming my favorite lipstick brand. All of the MAC lipsticks listed are between $15.00 and $18.00. The drugstore dupes by Wet-N-Wild come in at $1.99 each. CAN YOU BEAT THAT?? No. You could buy every WNW lippie on this list and it would still cost less than ONE of the MAC lippies. </div>

<u>MAC: Rebel VS Wet-N-Wild: Sugar Plum Fairy</u></h3>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lets start with my <em>favorite. </em>These shades are a deep, rich purple that look so so so good on just about anyone. This dupe is ALMOST exact. The main differences are that Rebel is a satin finish while Sugar Plum Fairy is matte. But SPF isn't very drying like some mattes. SPF also fades evenly through out the day and leaves an awesome stain on your lips. If you have wanted to try out a plum lip color without spending a TON for a MAC, you should definitely pick up SPF.</div>

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
THIS COLOR. ugh, this color is SO perfect. Next to Sugar Plum Fairy from above, I probably wear this color the most. It's SO good for fall. These lipsticks are a dark shade of burgundy that is good on almost <strong>all </strong>skin tones. This is an <em><u>EXACT </u></em>dupe. Both are matte and long lasting. Cherry Bomb is a bit more drying than MAC's Diva, but add a swipe of lip balm and Cherry Bomb will last <strong>ALL DAY</strong>. This is a dupe you should definitely pick up.</div>

<strong><u>MAC: Cyber VS Wet-N-Wild: Vamp It Up</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ahhhh Vamp It Up and Cyber. These shades are for the more brave souls. These lipsticks are a dark, blackened purple. Again, this dupe is <em><u>EXACT.</u></em> I own this dupe and wear it when I wanna feel all vampy. PLUSSS it makes my teeth look hella white, which is always the goal. MAC's Cyber is a satin and Vamp It Up is a matte but despite that, neither is drying. Vamp It Up is long lasting and puurrrrfect for fall. So if you're feeling bold, you gotta get this.</div>

<strong><u>MAC: Honeylove VS Wet-N-Wild: Bare It All</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alright, This is a more tame shade for those of you who dont like statement lips. These babes are a rose toned beige. MAC's Honeylove and WNW Bare It All are both matte. This was actually the first shade of Wet-N-Wild lipstick that I bought. Bare It All is a bit more matte but it lasts longer than Honeylove in my opinion. These are great if you want a nude lip for spring, but be careful.. both of these can turn into concealer lip in a hurry. Trust me, you dont want that.</div>

<strong><u>MAC: Ruby Woo VS Wet-N-Wild: Stoplight Red</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This matchup has to be one of my all time fav MAC dupes. Ruby Woo and Stoplight Red are both very intense blue based Reds. This shade is <strong>BOLD </strong>on anyone and definitely makes a statement. Both are matte, however MAC's Ruby Woo is WAYYYY more matte than Stoplight Red but that is the only difference. It's still an <em><u>EXACT</u></em> dupe. <strong>TIP: </strong>I add a <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-17-soft-matte-lip-cream.aspx">NYX soft matte lip cream in Monte Carlo</a> UNDER Stoplight Red and it makes it just about as matte as Ruby Woo so its an even closer dupe!

<u><strong>MAC: Pink Nouveau VS Wet-N-Wild: Dollhouse Pink</strong></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This should also be filed under "dupes for spring" because both lipsticks are a VIBRANT bright pink. This is also an<em><u> EXACT</u></em> dupe. This shade looks great on those of you who are lucky enough to have tan or olive skin (unlike me, ugh) Doll House Pink by WNW is matte, but applies easily. It can be a bit drying, so I apply a lip balm over it when I wear it. Def worth picking up.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I KNOWWWW I have said this about almost EVERY dupe in this article, but this one is SRSLY so awesome, it's hard not to say that it's my favorite. These lippies are vibrant shades of bright pink. These look good on just about everyone and are SO good for summer time. MAC's viva glam (nicki) is buttery smooth to apply and lasts all day... but guess what... so does Pinkerbell. Yep, wet-n-wild makes another <em><u>EXACT</u></em> dupe. So if you are a doing the whole beauty on a budget thing, this is definitely something you should add to your collection.</div>

I've been in sort of a rut, doing nail art that I havent been super happy with and lots and lots of makeup looks that just left me feeling a bit uninspired. I didn't want to post those things just for the sake of having content so I have been writing ideas down and I think now is the time to start sharing those. <br />
<br />
The first idea I had was to share a few of my favorite dupes for high end beauty products that EVERYONE should own. These are necessities that every girl should have in their makeup bag. Even if you can't afford the super expensive stuff, there are always products that match up to those highend products and i'm here to pass along my FAVES!!!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
First up, I have Pore Reducers. The highend product here is POREfessional by BENEFIT, which retails for 30.00 at ulta. I have used this product and LOVED it. I used my teeny tiny sample sized bottle down to the very last drop. However, for LESS THAN THE COST of a sample bottle of the highend product, I can buy a FULL SIZE bottle of Maybelline's Baby Skin. Yeah, the name is totally creepy... But the stuff is SIX bucks and works just as well as the benefit product.
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Next up, I have eyeshadow primers. If you aren't currently using an eye shadow base... PLEASE CHANGE THAT. I mean, I can not even remember wearing eye shadow with out some sort of primer. It was probably back when I used glittery goop from bon bons or lip smacker. But it SRSLY makes the shadow stick around a lot longer and also brings out the pigment in the shadow. ANYWAY, the high end version of shadow primer shown is probably one of the most popular ones. Its Urban Decay's Primer Potion, retailing at 20.00 bucks at ulta. I could have also shown Too Faced Shadow Insurance because I feel its just as popular as UD's but since I used the primer potion for LITERALLY YEARS I went with it. Now both of these are AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL and all that jazz... But I have also found that my drugstore match up is JUST AS GOOD. I chose NYX's HD eye shadow base as a dupe because it is EXACTLY like UD's primer. The only difference is the price. The NYX primer is a whopping 6.99. Once I discovered this little gem of a primer, I took it and ran..never looking back at my highend primer again.

Ah, now we have come to foundation primers. TBH I never used face primer until about two years ago. The first one I tried was a sample sized bottle of SMASHBOX Photo Finish primer. It is sosososo good, but its also 36.00 at ulta. This primer really is wonderful, but so is this $6.00 E.L.F primer from target. HOLLA. It is so moisturizing and does a great job at making the most of your foundation application.

My last high end matchup is one that I have just recently discovered. I fell in love with this Nars blush/bronzer duo. The blush is Orgasm and the Bronzer is Laguna. These are wonderful for contouring and look PERF on pale skin. However they def put a damper on your wallet. This comes in at $41.00 at Sephora. The low end counter-part is the E.L.F contouring palette, which is $3.00 at target. I honest-to-goodness use this product daily. If you are interested in a super pigmented blush/bronzer duo, I highly recommend the E.L.F duo. I have no idea what I will do if they ever discontinue this. Probably weep into my makeup bag. Lets pray this doesn't happen any time soon.

Hey y'all. I am a happy girl...because I just got Urban Decay's Naked3 this week! I am already obsessed with their Naked line so when I heard they were coming out with a palette that featured rose gold shades...I freaked out. No, really. I freaked out. </div>

I was third in line. By the time I left, the line was out the door! Looks like my concert-line skills have finally paid off in the beauty world! I promised I would review it..and I'm pretty sure I'm going to sound like an advertisement for them...that's how much I love this palette. Two words: Absolute. Perfection. Rose gold shades are my favorite. I think they compliment my brown eyes really well. I overused the "toasted" shade in my original Naked palette on my lid crease. So I feel like this palette is just a major extension of "Toasted," which I think has a rose gold tint to it. If you love "toasted," then you won't be disappointed in this palette. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The quality is up to Urban Decay Naked standards. The already-vibrant colors stand out even more when paired with eyeshadow primer. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The price is steep, but well worth it. If you can get your hands on one, I highly recommend it as a gift for a good friend...whether they're makeup savvy or not. Perfect for beginners and perfect for addicts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Standout shades: </b>Dust, Buzz, Liar, Mugshot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Perfect for daytime/everyday routine: </b>Strange, Dust, Burnout, Trick, Liar, Limit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Perfect for nighttime/dramatic look: </b>Strange, Buzz, Nooner, Darkside, Mugshot, Blackheart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Naked is obviously great for subtle looks, but you can also darken it up. If you're going on a trip, there's no need to bring 20 different single shades. Just throw Naked3 into your suitcase and you're ready to go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To prove it, I'm going to do one daytime look and one nighttime look for y'all. First up: This is how I integrate Naked3 into my "everyday" makeup look. I put this makeup on at 6:30 a.m and left for a meeting. When I got back home in the afternoon, I decided to do a little "photoshoot." Hours later...still looks great! Summer teamed up with me and made an <b>awesome</b> manicure inspired by Naked3's daytime perfection. Enjoy the pictures below the cut!</div>

I didn't really want to spend money on a costume that I would only wear once. So, I decided I would use what I already had (read: LOTS of makeup and black clothes).<br />
<br />
I started out by applying foundation and powder in a shade that is two colors lighter than I normally wear. Then, I applied my <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-34-eye-shadow-base.aspx" target="_blank">Nyx Pro Shadow Base</a> (which I love) all over my lid and under my eye, as well. I went with a dark smokey eye for my lid. For the under eye I started by blending a taupe and dusky purple shadow together and applying it liberally under my eye. After that, I took navy shadow and blended out starting from my lower lashes. I finished with lining my lashes with a black shadow and applying black eyeliner and using TONS of mascara. I didn't want to fool with falsies at work but you could use those to vamp up this look as well.<br />

The red that I used is called <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-14-matte-lipstick.aspx" target="_blank">Merlot and is by Nyx</a>. It's the perfect blood color and since I was a vampire it worked out amazingly. For the black lipstick I used Fergie by <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/wet-n-wild-fergie-creme-lipstick/ID=prod6170136-product" target="_blank">Wet N Wild in the color Pagan Angel</a>.<br />
<br />
I love the way this turned out and I honestly may start wearing it with normal day to day makeup. This look withstood 16 hours of wear!<br />
<br />
How did I do for cheap and easy costume? I loved it!<br />

So, I wanted my costume to be quick, easy and cheap! I bought an expensive costume in 2010 and I will never make that mistake again! Assembling your own costume is the way to go. </div>

It's super cute <b>and</b> I can wear it again on an average day. If you're wanting to be a character for Halloween next year, I definitely recommend searching around Forever 21! They have <b>tons</b> of cute cartoon shirts you could amp up and use as a costume...and place it right back in your everyday closet after. I can't wait to wear this sweatshirt again and pair it with a leather jacket and some funky red pants! For my party, I paired it with glittery-black skinny jeans from Express. For my ears, I bought a pair on Amazon for about $10. I already had an Amazon gift card - so technically, that purchase was free! For my makeup, I did my normal routine with a few small changes.</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><u>Foundation:</u> <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/158/13055/Products/Face/Foundation/Foundation-Finder/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC Studio Fix </a>Fluid in NW15, MAC Studio Fix Powder in N5. </li>
<li><u>Concealer:</u> <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/157/314/Products/Face/Concealer/Studio-Finish-SPF-35-Concealer/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW15.</a> I applied an increased amount under my eyes, on my nose, chin and part of my forehead to highlight my face. I definitely focused on the area under my eye to help out with that Kardashian contour that I love. </li>
<li><u>Highlight & Contour</u>: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/blush-P2855" target="_blank">NARS Albatross</a> and <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/color/cheeks/~/bronzing-powder" target="_blank">NARS Laguna</a>. I definitely amped up my contour and highlight. Albatross added a nice shimmer over my Studio Finish concealer. I use these two products every day - a less amount, of course - and I <b>love</b> them. </li>
<li><u>Lips:</u> I used a <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC matte lipstick in Ruby Woo</a>. I decided to skip the gloss this time. I am head over heels in love with this color. It is hands down one of my favorite red's out there. A staple in every beauty bag! </li>
<li><u>Eyes:</u> I used various colors from my <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/urban-decay/eye-makeup/naked-palette/245.html" target="_blank">Naked</a> palette for my eyeshadow. I used my adored MAC <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/151/898/Fluidline/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Fluidline</a> in Blacktrack for my eyeliner and to help fill in thin spots on my brows. I applied a cat eye, which I wear daily, but I added a little more volume for this costume to accentuate my lashes. Lastly, I used <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/high-brow" target="_blank">Benefit High Brow </a>underneath my brows and also to tight line my lower waterline. </li>
<li><u>Lashes:</u><b> </b><a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/theyre-real" target="_blank">Benefit They're Real!</a> for my mascara. I am obsessed. Seriously, check it out. Then, I used Eyelure's <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4120005" target="_blank">Cool Kitty </a>fake Lashes from Katy Perry's line. My favorite fake lashes of all time! </li>

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I adore decorating and dressing up. There's so much room for creativity. Out of all the collection posts we've done, the Halloween-inspired ones are my favorites!<br />
<br />
Send in your Halloween mani pictures, name and blog link to <a href="mailto:admin@groupieglam.com" target="_blank">admin@groupieglam.com by <b>October 30, 2013</b></a>. I will upload the post on Halloween.<br />
<br />
If you're dressing up this year, feel free to send in pictures of your costume also! I'm dressing up for a party this Saturday, so I will have a separate post for that. But, I decided that I still wanted to do the collection post this year.<br />
<br />
To kick things off...look at these spooky and famous Halloween nails from my favorite girl, Demi Lovato!

So I just have a quick update for you all. This summer I went on a weekend trip to see my two favorite bands in concert... TOGETHER... in Washington DC. It was seriously everything that dreams are made of. we visited several of the monuments and finished the day with seeing Hanson AND parachute in concert. My mani is below along with a snapshot from the WW2 memorial. We vlogged all of our shenanigans over on our channel. Check it out "<a href="http://YouTube.com/dontworryitsfineokay">here</a>"</p>

Makeup is no exception! We all have our routines and our favorite products. Ever since we created this blog I've been dying to create a "makeup bag" post of my absolute favorite products that own my daily routine.<br />
<br />
I'm going to start this "makeup bag" series with three of my all-time favorite products at the moment. I swear by all of these products! I hope you all find something that intrigues you and ends up in your own beauty routine.<br />

1. Lancôme <a href="http://www.lancome-usa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-lancome_us-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=1000680&bookmark=217722" target="_blank">Visionnaire</a> - $69 for .67 oz bottle - I buy mine at Macy's or Dillards...or duty free on an airplane ;)<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27uvYEWG7b5OKNV8F0XJI_Rgvk0DXJZRbmNZt1_GA8v6W3wgJDc3vq5t0DQbxCBYYwNOY3Ao1v6yPcaMnpNIYNhXLWCLY-k5FSXAY8m6Oua0MFCZXXaAdF8DCim_atkcUDMhy5y75eoSg/s1600/LANCOME_VISIONNAIRE_EN_HD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27uvYEWG7b5OKNV8F0XJI_Rgvk0DXJZRbmNZt1_GA8v6W3wgJDc3vq5t0DQbxCBYYwNOY3Ao1v6yPcaMnpNIYNhXLWCLY-k5FSXAY8m6Oua0MFCZXXaAdF8DCim_atkcUDMhy5y75eoSg/s200/LANCOME_VISIONNAIRE_EN_HD.jpg" width="62" /></a>I went through a phase where all I bought was Lancôme makeup. One of the best rewards of that phase was Visionnaire! Visionnaire is an advanced skin corrector. It claims to correct wrinkles, pores and unevenness within four weeks.<br />
<br />
On one of my makeup shopping trips, I received a free sample. I didn't give it much thought and I wasn't expecting much. What a great and unexpected surprise! Within a week, I could already tell a difference in my skin. I have a bad history of acne - and now awful acne scars. Within that week, my acne and my scars were fading away!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimyAuqrnfoDXV8iH0Dz60nS_4RMfs9xx_UrffTopUuCWSsZjXTJsXdjhukygtzv3xNYc3DbZiQhR8XC71DrfMU3SCQx7d_YVUlmEpHUxYxx7R-YM6ecF3WcrtULhqAVIYHyrJUjGi_4FAv/s1600/Perfumes_-_Lancome_Visionnaire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimyAuqrnfoDXV8iH0Dz60nS_4RMfs9xx_UrffTopUuCWSsZjXTJsXdjhukygtzv3xNYc3DbZiQhR8XC71DrfMU3SCQx7d_YVUlmEpHUxYxx7R-YM6ecF3WcrtULhqAVIYHyrJUjGi_4FAv/s200/Perfumes_-_Lancome_Visionnaire.jpg" width="200" /></a>While it is on the pricey side - I have found justification for it. You get what you pay for! If it works - I will gladly pay the price. I have been spending $20 on dermatologist visits and more than $100 <b>each</b> on multiple prescription medication...and I'm getting the same - if not, better - results! So, $70 every so often for improved skin? I'll do it!<br />
<br />
It's a staple in my beauty routine. I apply it every morning before putting on my moisturizer and makeup. I apply it every night after I wash my face with my clarisonic and cetaphil. I highly recommend it!<br />
<br />
<b>Pros</b>: It actually works. Great scent. Makes your skin feel great.<br />
<b>Cons</b>: The price. I wish it would last longer.<br />

2. <a href="http://www.sephora.com/beautyblender-P228913?skuId=1151869" target="_blank">Beautyblender</a> - $19.95 at Sephora<br />
As a regular customer of Sephora, I've seen the little pink sponge multiple times on my way to the checkout stand.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkg-CEIi0GG3O5MisU0Byz5CSCeDhCu-SZSndQ_CVOQrln2I97PkqyzknRG0Eff_3Szf2eolxreZupbIX3fzsTZltE1kMmlYvt0cyt1LDVKP28DzWeyB1FJuXdR3Jmc4WvZGnGHNXJTpM6/s1600/Beauty_Blender1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkg-CEIi0GG3O5MisU0Byz5CSCeDhCu-SZSndQ_CVOQrln2I97PkqyzknRG0Eff_3Szf2eolxreZupbIX3fzsTZltE1kMmlYvt0cyt1LDVKP28DzWeyB1FJuXdR3Jmc4WvZGnGHNXJTpM6/s200/Beauty_Blender1.jpg" width="142" /></a><i>"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Beautyblender® is the first ergonomically designed non-disposable sponge applicator that allows you to flawlessly apply your makeup. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">When wet, beautyblender doubles in size and becomes even softer, returning to its original size when it air dries. Not only is the smaller end the best applicator for concealer under the eyes and around the nose, but also for achieving dramatic results with your eye shadow. Feel free to use the beautyblender with all types of makeup, including loose powder and mineral cosmetics." (Sephora.com)</span></i><br />
<br />
"$20 for a sponge that I'll end up having to throw away? Pffft. No, thank you. I don't care how great it is." I had a great MAC stippling brush and a good routine with my brushes. I didn't need a sponge. But after hearing multiple awesome reviews...I got a little curious. So, one day (on pay day...it's always pay days that get you in trouble!) on my regular trip to pick up some Urban Decay makeup...and I bit the bullet and spent $20 on a makeup sponge. "This better work," I thought.<br />
<br />
And guess what? It does! I am in love with the BeautyBlender! It does everything that it promises. This is another staple in my beauty routine. I apply my Visionnaire and then head to the sink to rinse my beautyblender! I use the blender to apply my foundation, concealer and my highlight. It really gives you a "photo ready" finish. My makeup feels lighter on my skin but I feel like I have the perfect amount of coverage. I never cleaned my brushes as much as I should have - so I'm <b>positive</b> that I was aggrivating my acne with bacteria left on the brushes. With the beautyblender - I wet it every day - so I may as well clean it!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH7DCdxcRV0wCBlLkg86rxzc1NcdpWcSDko3s7FrPAw3Uk7SvJxs_eHASoCgtVfVCllgorypaHii_5bfpXW3n2pS5O67UPAHmEYrgQx3_fKXi-_4nCYDVB3fAI2Y31XnDup2PlSe2Uesp8/s1600/SOLID_Cleanser_open_sml1339070429_67.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH7DCdxcRV0wCBlLkg86rxzc1NcdpWcSDko3s7FrPAw3Uk7SvJxs_eHASoCgtVfVCllgorypaHii_5bfpXW3n2pS5O67UPAHmEYrgQx3_fKXi-_4nCYDVB3fAI2Y31XnDup2PlSe2Uesp8/s200/SOLID_Cleanser_open_sml1339070429_67.jpg" width="200" /></a>The whole "end up having to throw away" thought that I had? Nope. Not a problem. Okay, I lied. It's not a problem <b>if </b>you take care of it correctly. My first Beautyblender - I had to end up throwing away because I absolutely ruined it by not taking care of it. I know it seems like a lot but<b> you need to buy a cleanser and clean your blender regularly.</b> I clean mine every morning. The <a href="http://www.sephora.com/solid-sponge-cleanser-P379449?skuId=1438407" target="_blank">Solid Sponge Cleanser</a> is $15.95 and works wonderfully! Lather up your sponge and wash the makeup rinse away. Your sponge will look brand new and feel clean! My skin (and my new Beautyblender) is definitely thanking me for buying the cleanser. P.s - the cleanser is also great to clean your makeup brushes! My brushes look brand new.<br />
<br />
Don't bother buying the blender if you aren't going to buy the cleanser. Other soaps just don't do the trick like the cleanser! A must have product!<br />
<br />
<b>Pros</b>: Does exactly what it advertises. Perfectly applied foundation! Will last a super long time if you take care of it. You'll only have to replenish the cleanser (which also lasts a long time)<br />
<b>Cons: </b>The price. The cleanser is sold separately. Takes a bit of time to clean it every day.<br />

3. Benefit <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/high-brow" target="_blank">High Brow</a> - a brow lifting pencil - $20 - I buy mine at Ulta.<br />
I was introduced to this product a looooong time ago. You know when you're in the mall and you avoid walking through the makeup/fragrance section to the exit because you know an annoying salesperson will stop you and push a product on you that you know you'll end up leaving with? Yep. That happened to me with the High Brow. But looking back - I didn't mind this sales push.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">This soft brow highlighting pencil is your instant brow lift! Perfect for all skintones, the linen-pink highlight hue adds a lifted look to the entire eye area. It's never been easier to raise a brow…or two! A</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">pply pencil under your brow following the arch. Lightly blend. For more arch appeal, put two dots above the arch & blend</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">" (benefitcosmetics.com)</span></span></i><br />

The salesperson stopped us and demonstrated the High Brow product on my mother. She applied the product right under her brow and blended it in. I was amazed! Before this - I was pretty new to makeup (before I even started filling my brows!) and I had never even thought of applying something white underneath the brow. "Your eyebrows look higher. Oh my gosh, mom," I remember saying. So - we left with it. My mom started using it but then I ended up stealing it and using it for myself when she grew bored with the product. When I ran out - I used white eyeshadow for a few years. But just a few months ago - I recently went back to High Brow. And I don't know why I ever left it! It's the perfect highlighter to add below your brow. And once again - a staple in my routine.<br />
<br />
Just recently I've been on the hunt for the perfect white product to use to tightline my lower waterline. I've bought tons of pencils and wasted my money. Nothing stays on!!! As of two days ago - I've found the best solution. The high brow! It stays on so much better than anything I've used and stays vibrantly white. So - this product now has <b>two</b> uses for me and my routine. But really though - if <b>anyone</b> has any product suggestions for white tightliner...please please please let me know!<br />
<br />
<b>Pros</b>: Lifts the brow. Can be used as eyeshadow primer when you're in a bind. Can be used as tightliner.<br />
<b>Cons: </b>Doesn't last as long as I would hope to, even when just using it for my brows. Not as cheap as buying plain white eyeshadow - but I think it's worth the price.<br />

I saw several people in concert, ate smores by a campfire, shopped more than I should have, and most importantly I spent lots of time with my best friends. <br />

I wanted festive nails since I was visiting over independence day so I decided to go with a red/white/blue Saran wrap mani. I also cut them off SO SHORT since I knew we would be doing a lot of things outside. I just didnt have time to deal with a break haha. If you're new to nail art, I would recommend doing something like this. Its fool proof. If you guys are interested, ill post a tutorial as well :)<br />

I am head over heels in love with Urban Decay eyeshadow. It's also no secret that I am a die-hard fan over "Midnight Cowboy." It's one of my all time favorite shades. Day time or night time: it's perfect.<br />

When I love something, I share it with friends. Last Christmas I decided to go on a Urban Decay shopping spree for my friends. I got the Naked palette for my mom, the Vegan palette for my long-distance friend and I saved the best for my best concert buddy, Heather. I purchased the Midnight Emergency Kit for her. Normally she doesn't wear eyeshadow so I was hesitant to give her this gift. But then again, I believe in this shade so much that a nonbeliever would love it too. It's the perfect kit for someone who doesn't wear eyeshadow and wants to just add a little bit to their everyday routine. As expected, she appreciated and loved the gift (of course with some apprehension as to if she would actually be able to apply it correctly). It was something fun, something I loved, something I <b>know </b>is quality, something new for her to try and play with.<br />

The Midnight Emergency kit includes four lovely midnight <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/new-urban-decay-eyeshadows/328,default,pd.html?start=1&q=midnight" target="_blank">shadows</a> (<b>midnight cowboy</b>, <b>midnight rodeo</b>, <b>midnight 15</b>, <b>AC/DC</b>), a mini eyeshadow brush and some <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/midnight-cowboy-lip-gloss/62790,default,pd.html?start=2&q=midnight" target="_blank">lip gloss</a> (<b>Midnight Cowboy Lip Junkie</b>). </div>

It was an incredible concert and we had so much fun. The next day, I asked her if she had her emergency kit with her. She did! So, I offered to do her makeup and "teach" her how to use it.<br />
<br />
I wanted to share the pictures with you all because I think she looked <b>fabulous</b> in the Midnight Emergency kit.<br />
<br />
I loved the final result, my mom loved the final result and even her family that night complimented her on her "Midnight" look. I think it's perfect for the day but she could also darken it up a bit for a night time look.<br />
<br />
I hope you loved the little "midnight makeover," Heather. Thanks for being the best concert pal around and thanks for being an awesome makeup model. :)<br />
<br />
If you can get your hands on a Midnight Emergency kit - <b>do it!</b> You can still find it around online. If not, I would recommend <b>at least</b> buying "Midnight Cowboy" and pairing it with your favorite darker shades. It looks great with any other color!<br />

Happy Independence Day! I hope you all had a lovely 4th of July. I really didn't do much at all except eat yummy food, spend time with family and cry about all of the rain :( I hope you all have clear skies where you are so you can enjoy some fireworks tonight....unlike me.</div>
<br />
We love doing these collection posts for the holidays. It's the perfect time to showcase everyone's creativity. Thank you to everyone who sent in pictures! You all are so incredibly talented and your participation is much appreciated.<br />

Hey guys, its me Summer. I havent had much time to blog lately, but I found something that I HAD to share. While I was in Tulsa, OK last month, my friends and I decided that we NEEDED to go check out the store front for this little brand that my friend Taylor likes. As soon as I walked in, it was over. </div>

Its actually disgusting how perfect these soaps are. Like, how do they get the blueberry to smell like blueberry but then ALSO get the syrup to smell JUST LIKE FREAKING SYRUP. Anyway, this one is super duper cheap, I paid like, 3.50 for it. MOVING RIGHT ALONG.</div>

This little thang is called "in the loop" AND GUESS WHY. It smells exactly like a freaking bowl of fruitloops. it makes me hungry and happy all at the same time. If I had to choose a favorite, this would definitely be in the running. </div>

Now if they can make me a frosted flake and milk soap, I would probably donate my liver to them or something. This one is priced the same as Blueberry Flapjacks at 3.50 ish</div>

AND SO COMES THE HOLY GRAIL OF FCS. In my opinion. Which lets be real, is the only one that matters. This little baby is called "The Birds and the Bees." I cannot even begin to describe the way this soap makes me feel, like I cannot even tell you how perfect it is. You just need it, kay?</div>

IF you can only buy one soap from FCS, it should probably be this one. It is literally THE best smelling thing to me in the world. The brids and the bees comes in slightly cheaper at 3.29. WORTH IT.</div>

No, but really. If you have time, check this site out and purchase some stuff. They even have a box that you can sign up for, its $19.00 and comes out every 3 months. I would be ALL OVER THAT if I wasnt a poor wanderlust haha. They even have fizzies and bath bombs and hand creams and EVERYTHING YOUR LITTLE HEART DESIRES. If you like lush, you will like this place. I prefer FCS because the scents are actually in such a variety that they have something for everyone.</div>

The only downfall was that when I was in store, they didnt have the macaron bath bombs available like they had mentioned on Instagram (which btw, you can follow them. @fortunefreaks) and couldnt get any of the wizards collection either AND YALL KNOW HOW I LOVE HARREH POTTER.</div>

I graduated from college two weeks ago and I finally have free time at home to work on the blog. I have been documenting makeup and looks over all of this time so I definitely have some catching up to do.<br />
<br />
About a month ago, I went to a Parachute and Andy Grammer concert on my campus. It was such a great show and I was so excited to have them come to my school!<br />
<br />
For this look, I used some clothes in the back of my closet for a surprisingly chilly and rainy day. My makeup look included a clean cat-eye with an overall natural finish.<br />

I naturally have thick and long lashes but my recent obsession lately has been fake lashes. I have tried and tried again but never have seemed to get them to stick or apply correctly. I tried brand after brand and technique after technique. But earlier this year, I gave <a href="http://katyperry.eylure.com/" target="_blank">Katy Perry's eyelure lash line</a> a try! I am absolutely impressed. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. I have tried the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243582&productId=xlsImpprod4120005&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Cool Kitty</a>, <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243581&productId=xlsImpprod4120003&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Oh Honey</a>, and <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243580&productId=xlsImpprod4120001&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Sweetie Pie</a> lashes. <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243581&productId=xlsImpprod4120003&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Oh Honey</a> is great for a dramatic day. <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243580&productId=xlsImpprod4120001&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Sweetie Pie</a> is great for a more natural day and <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243582&productId=xlsImpprod4120005&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Cook Kitty</a> is perfect for a day in between.<br />

Out of the three, <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2243582&productId=xlsImpprod4120005&navAction=push&navCount=1" target="_blank">Cool Kitty</a> is definitely my favorite and I use them the most. The best tip for applying these lashes is to apply the glue and wait 20-30 seconds for the glue to become tacky before applying it to your lash line. After applied, I use a small liner brush to press the lashes as close to my lash line as possible. Depending on how it looks, I'll go back with some gel liner to define any eyeliner I have on my top lid. Sometimes I'll even use my fingers to press my natural lashes with the fake ones.<br />

Overall, I highly recommend these lashes. What about you? Have you tried out this line? Is there any other brand out there that I should try? What are your best tips for applying fake lashes?<br />

In the past, Groupie Glam hasn't really highlighted outfits and fashion except for an occasional costume attire. I've been really into the "ootd" hashtag on instagram. So, I would love to start posting my ootd's if you all would be interested in that!<br />
<br />
For this outfit, I dug deep into my closet for some things I haven't worn in awhile. Two pieces are actually from a shopping trip in London and Dublin. A long-sleeved dress paired with some tights and a scarf suited the weather for my walk on campus. Brown leather shoes and a belt really helped accent the entire look!<br />

I recently went on a trip with some of my friends (big surprise) and we met Ed Sheeran again. Oh, and Conor Maynard. Both are such cuties. Anyway, while I was on this trip my friend surprised me with a nail polish! It is an Essie polish called, "Da Bush," which i thought was <b>hilarious</b> because her favorite president is George Dubya Bush. </div>

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to use it one day while I was working, I paired it with "Jade is the New Black" by OPI (one of my fave polishes <b>ever</b>).</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Da Bush" had a really good texture and was opaque in 2 coats which is better than my experience with most Essie polishes. Overall, I loved it. Definitely want to use this again in Fall.</div>

Hey guys, its Summer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am back from yet ANOTHER concert. This time me and my friends went to Charlottesville, Virginia to see a band called Parachute. They played straight through both of their albums, one on each night. It was seriously an incredible experience. I had always loved this band, and had seen them live.. but after seeing them perform in their hometown to a sold out show.. they have become my fave. SO GOOD.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My nails for this trip were simple. I chose to do a glitter sammich with an accent nail. most of you guys probably recognize the green as Jade is the new black by OPI. still one of my favorite polishes for fall. The glitter sammich is Party of Five Glitters layered between (an unknown) Color Club (that i got on clearance at ross.)</div>

These are some live shots i took at the concert.. sorry for the quality but I used my phone. We also made a video while we were there.. we are ridiculous. Watch if you will!</div>
