I'm a Belieber


After reading the sentence following this one, half of you are going to hate me. That's right, I have a case of Bieber Fever.  You've probably heard about his newest fragrance, Someday, which actually smells pretty amazing. And comparing that to the release of his nail polish collection, makes the nail polish seem like ancient news. It came out least year, and I thought there was only like five colors that made it up. Turns out I was wrong, try 14! In order from the picture above, left to right; Me+Blue, Give Me the First Dance, Prized Possession Purple, One Less Lonely Glitter, Step 2 the Beat of My Heart, OMB!, and My Lifesaver. The bottom row: Baby Blue, One Time Lime, I'm a Belieber, Redy to Runaway Love, Make U Smile, I've Got Bieber Fever, and Not a Gold Bigger.

My favorites are One Less Lonely Glitter and Baby Blue. Right now Ulta has these on sale for $5.99 instead of $7.99. If you're a dork like me and are dying to have some of these into your collection, I'd go check them out! I know I'm going to ;)

The Black Showdown

Black vs. Black vs. Black.

You've heard amazing things about all three of these contenders, now who's the absolute best of the best?

1.) Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in Black/Drugstores/$8 This eyeliner is amazing to wear to school, it lasts the whole entire day, but isn't a bold black, so it's not over doing it. It goes on pretty smoothly and the best part is, it's only $8. What a steal. I actually like quite a few items from their Colorstay line, like the foundation and lip glosses. Revlon, you've failed to disappoint me yet again.
2.) Mac Eye Kohl in Smolder/MAC/$14.50 I love this eyeliner. It's easily smudgeable and long wearing. It's a true black and is perfect for all night long. You can create intense, dramatic looks with this. It's one of those eyeliners that will guarantee you perfectly lined eyes till 3am on the dance floor. 
3.) Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero/Sephora/$18 This eyeliner is amazing for that smokey eye look. It's extremely creamy and smooth. I love wearing it for those times I know I'm only going to be out a couple of hours, because the name sadly, lies. This won't stay on my waterline for more than 3 hours. And we're not talking about in extreme conditions here either. I love the look it gives me, but it's just not cut out for those long days. However, some people swear by this eyeliner and it's staying power so I guess it really just depends.

Although I like them all for different reasons, i have to declare a winner. Which is, REVLON COLORSTAY. It's the most affordable and practical one. I probably use this one at least five times more than the others and it's just plain fabulous :) Plus, it's also retractable! No need for a sharpener here.

Love You Like a Love Song

Girl About Town Lipstick/MAC/$14.50, Nars Amour Blush/Sephora/$27, False Lashes/MAC/$14, Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner/Drugstores/$6, Chanel Vitalumiere Liquid Foundation/Nordstroms/$55

Selena Gomez is looking gorgeous, as always, in pictures from her newest music video, "Love You Like a Love Song." It's her & the Scenes second official single from their new album "When the Sun Goes Down," out June 28th. To recreate her look, first apply foundation to get a flawless face. She's wearing a bright fuchsia pink lipstick and Mac's Girl About Town looks almost dead on to hers. For the blush, she used a warm peachy pink, like Nar's Amour. To create her dramatic winged liner look, any liquid liner would work. She's also wearing some dramatic falsies, but if you're going for a more subtle look, then just using mascara is a great alternative.

Love you like a long song ;)
