Beauty Note: Beauty Products for Beginners!
11/20/2018
As a beauty guru myself, we all know that we should not spend a fortune when it comes to makeup, because we might not stick to it. So I was looking for make up, I always chose makeup that was in my budget, because I don't want to spend a lot that I know I probably won't stick to. When it comes to make up, some of us just want to go out an buy expensive make up, well that not the case for me, so I decided to do something that some beginners can use and know what to use. You do not need to spend a lot on something that you know you won't really use. So I create a list of some items that beginners can use, from eye shadow to eyeliner, but know this you can get this at your local drug stores or your local dollar trees, it not that hard and plus you will be saving yourself alot of money and also you can try the products as well.
1) Eye shadow
Eye shadow comes in all colors, whichever color you like, you can buy them at your local drugstores or basically anywhere. when I pick out eye shadow, I only like to buy the colors that I like to wear, because it goes with my skin tone. But anyways, when you think about buying eye shadow, think of the price and the colors that you will actually wear.
2) Blush
Blush is the one thing that I don't wear, because to me, it not natural. It something that I won't wear. But when it comes to blush it comes in many colors that you can chose. But there one thing that I like about blush, it you are out of highlighter or eye shadow, you can use blush as one of those alternatives, which I actually love.
3) Eyeliner
When it comes to eyeliner, I am the one that loves eyeliner, because I love when I am able to have my eyes dark. But when it comes to eyeliner for any of you, there are so many colors for you to choose from, but some of it cost money. So when you decided on the color you want, make sure it the color you want. I choose the color black like always.
4) Lipstick
Lipstick is not one of my forte, because I don't like it. But I decided to include it in the beginners. To me there is no reason for anyone to spend a fortune on lipstick or any cosmetics for that matter, because to me all cosmetics are all the same, with the same formula and basically the same. Some might have different formula and other may not. The ones that I look for are the ones, that have vitamins and also sunscreen for my lips. My lips are everything.
5) Lip liner
When it comes to lip liner, it always good to have, especially when you just want to outline your lips. There one thing about lip liner, it comes in many colors and many forms. But to me, I like to smooth lip liner that goes smooth, soft and won't clump.
6) Highlighter
It never a dull moment when its comes to highlighter, when you think of highlighter you think of highlighting a book. Anyways, there are many colors. when it comes to choosing, you just have to make sure you pick the right one.
7) Coutour
When I first heard of this, I didn't think nothing of it, then there is bronzer, which I didn't think of either. There are so many forms of makeup out there, that I didn't think of ever exist. It comes in 3 colors if you are lucky.
8) Foundation
Where do I start when it comes to foundation. I don't like foundation because it does not do my pores and skin justice. So I try to stay away from these. But I will wear very little of it. Foundations comes in many colors, so you should not have a problem founding your color. I also suggest if you do, try to pick the light one and also the medium shade or any shade for that matter to mixed together in order to get your shade.
9) Concealer
If you have any rash, pimples and many other other scars on your face, this is the one thing you can use. Just make sure you find the right shade and also make sure you know where you want to put them. When it comes to concealer, it a little tricky because you don't want it to be too light or to dark under your eyes. So when it comes to this one, you have to watch out.
10) Primer
When it comes to primer, it comes in many forms and brands. This goes under your foundation to make sure your makeup go on evenly, but it up to you if you would like to use it.
When it comes to make up, it not always easier to make the right decisions, but it also make the right decisions for your bank account and make sure you will use the products. When I use the products, I always try to use what I will use not just because everyone else has it. It always good to make good decisions when you know your bank account is at stake. As a beginner myself, I always go after the products that is acne and sensitive skin safe, which is hard because not all products are for that. So I go after the makeup that I always use, which I can find anywhere.

As some of you may know, I used to belong to a site called Polyvore, it was a fashion site where I could create looks for my blog and many other things. Since it been sold this year, I have been heart broken, because it was where I could create looks that I could see for my blog and instagram. I have been looking for a site where I could use to create my looks, and I could not find none, until I decided to look. Then I found a site called URSTYLE, it is just like Polyvore.
I am going to be honest with you and I won't lie to you. When I first heard Polyvore was sold and it wont be no more. I literally cry, because it was a place where I could create looks for you guys, do gifts guides for you all and even do my logos for my blog. But when it ended, it actually hurt. Now that I found a new site where I can create new looks, new guide, and new everything. I will share with you all what will happen. So Goodbye Polyvore! Hello URSTYLE.

Style Diaries: November Trend Style
11/07/2018
This is the second month that we get to celebrate fall, which is kind a downy because here in Michigan we get to see Snow for the first time in almost a year, which is a good thing. Which I love seeing snow, I just wish that it would snow on my birthday, but it never does. But anyways, when it comes to November Style, it almost like the same like everything else, that one thing that would never change. I like to change up my style and not go by what everyone else is doing. When it comes to fall, I like to switch up the style and also do something that nobody ever does. I have pick 5 looks that would do wonders for this thanksgiving season or just everyday looks. So lets take a look on what we have.
1) Fall Grey
I always love the grey look for the holidays, it something that can go with anything and almost everything. So when I look in my closet, I realize that I have a lot of grey pieces that I totally and I can't wait to showcase my closet to everyone.
2) Velvet Red
When I see this look, I think of Christmas and even thought it not here yet. I feel like I should think of Christmas, because my birthday is almost close to Christmas. So I love this look and I wish it was more of it.
3) Grey Plaid
When it comes to this look, I don't see this look very often. So I decided to adopt this look in my wardrobe pieces. Because I like it. I won't go by what anyone does, because I am not that type of person.
4) Blue Velvet
When I first look at this look, I literally fell in love, because Sapphire blue is my all time favorite color and I absolutely love. I don't see this color very often, So I decided to adopt it in my wardrobe. So be prepare because I will wear it all the time.
5) Blue Lounge

Captivate Style's Edit: New Blog Design!
11/05/2018
I have never in my right mind, never decided to actually redo my blog. The reason why is because I never thought I had to, but when you look at your blog differently, you tend to realize it now would be the time to have it redone. So when I was searching for a template or someone that could help me with my blog, which was hard for me to do, because I didn't like none of the templates that I saw, until one spoke to me, which I really love. When I first saw it, I literally melt, because it spoke to me, and it spoke to my blog and I like it. So I inquire someone about the template that I like and she wrote back and I told what I wanted and she added a couple of things, which I totally love. When I ask if she could added some custom blog work, she did, it became a totally different template which I love. I love the fact she was so nice, her name is Eve, the template is on Etsy, it called Rosamund.
When I first seen the template, I fell in love because it was the template that I always wanted and I knew that I could not do it myself, but I found someone that could do for me, or at least already have the template and I did. When I first decided that that I was going to be switch over, it was fun and also a little heartbreaking, because I have always been with weebly and but the site is a little to much for me to handle, especially when there is no designer out there that can do a template that I wanted. So I had to make the decision to move to blogger. When it came to the blog, I like it much more better then I did before. When it comes to time in making the decision to redo your site, don't wait, just do it, because it you will like much better like I did. I do highly recommend Eve from Fearne Creative Design, she does good work and I love her. She is patient with you and if you need any help she will be willing to help you. If you are having a problem with your site, she will help you out. So Please use her if you decides to redo your blog. I will always use her. So please check her out, https://www.etsy.com/shop/FearneCreativeDesign
