Girls Night Out Makeup and Hair!

Hello ladies, I hope your week is going well so far. Todays blog post is inspired recent social events going on in my life. We all have those Friday and Saturday nights where we have an amazing 'Girls Night' with our friends. Sometimes you just want to chill out and have a Gossip Girl marathon (Chuck and Blair forever) while you consume junk food until four in the morning. Most of the times I like to go out and get all dressed up, and have a grand old time. With that being said its always difficult to decide how I am going to do my make up and hair. I thought I'd help all you ladies out who share this problem with me. Below I share my go-to makeup look and hairstyle perfect for any Girls Night Out!

Makeup

I created a subtle grey smokey eye with a nude lip, perfect for your exciting night out (Video tutorial below)




Makeup Used:
Foundation: Rimmel Wake Me Up in Ivory
Concealer: Rimmel Wake Me Up in Very Fair
Eyeshadow: Urban Decays The Naked Two Palette
Brows: Urban Decays The Naked Basics Palette
Mascara: The Great Lash Loads of Lashes in Very Black
Bronzer: NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in Sunny
Highlighter: The Body Shop Highlighting Baubles
Lipstick: The Kate Lipstick in 105

Hairstyle
--------------------
I paired that makeup look with a quick and easy braided side bun, guaranteed to keep your hair out of your face while you dance the night away.




I just think this is perfect and easy for a night out. When your dancing and having fun you don't want to be worrying about whether or not your hair is going to fall out. This messy braided updo is fun, easy and stylish.


How to Create

1. Section two parts of hair closes to your face.



2. With each section you want to section it into three and braid to the ends of your hair.



3. Pin each braid to the back of your head so it looks like a backwards headband.



4. Take your remaining hair and gather it to one side of your head.
5. Braid the section of hair you just created.



6. Take the braid you just created and twirl it on itself to create a low side bun.



7. Secure with an elastic or bobby pins. 


 Your hair style and makeup look are done for your fun Girls Night Out! If you want a more in depth tutorial then check out my Youtube video below! Have an amazing time  hanging out with your girls, talk to you later!  




New York City Trip


The Big Apple

New York is the city of dreams; the place where everything can come true, or so that's what I have been told. I visited New York City a while back and I was going through some photos and thought I would show you guys some highlights of my trip. I was gone for a five days in May and stayed at a hotel in Manhattan. My first night was like a dream, I had never seen so many people scrunched into one city. The largest city I had ever walked around in was Toronto, so this blew my mind to say the least. The hustle and bustle of NYC isn't something that you can fully understand if you haven't been there, you have to experience it.


After sunset we rode the elevator up to the top of the Rockefeller Centre and gazed on the city far below. When you are up so high looking down on the Big Apple your breath is taken away. Photos do not do the view justice, it just reminds me how small our world really is.




The next morning we got up early and visited some different churches.
The one above is St Patricks Cathedral. 
Like every tourist we went and saw the Statue of Liberty.



We also took a lovely stroll through Strawberry Fields, and into Central Park.




Visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an entire day.


And finally I had to fulfil my childhood dream of going to Nintendo World to see the Legend of Zelda Collection. I also met a giant Pikachu!


 Going to New York City was my favourite trip I have ever taken. It exceeded my expectations, and I would visit The Big Apple again in a heart beat. If there is a place in the world pulling on your heart then my advice is to save up and go see it. No matter the city or cost. If you want to travel then do it. Honestly you won't regret it. Until my next post, have a pleasant day and safe travels!

To start off the ending of January and the beginning of February I thought I would write about Valentines Day. If you are anything like me and are single with no strings attached then this look is perfect for you. Its great for a lady's night out, let all of those guys drool over you. For all those ladies out there who have a special someone don't worry because this is a great date night look for you too!

This is just a simple Smokey Brown eyeshadow look with thin Cat Eye eyeliner. Using bronzer you just contour your face and then sweep some blush on your cheeks to give you a flushed and sweet look. Top this off with red lipstick and you have an amazing and simple valentines makeup look. 

                                   ---------- Outfit ----------

This outfit is perfect for anyone living in a colder climate for Valentines Day. I made sure to have a warm and comfortable outfit because in the winter time all we really want to do is drown in warm fuzzy blankets. I paired a cute pink patterned dress from Ardene with a tan trench coat from Suzy Shier. Finally I threw on some black knee high socks and my brown riding boots from Call it Spring. This look is put together and fashionable without being uncomfortable. Whatever errand, date or event you have on Valentines day you will be stylish and comfortable.

I hope this blog post was helpful in someway if you were looking for a fashionable outfit.
Fashion are trends. Style is yours, so add your own twist to this outfit. Have fun and be creative. I hope you all have a great Valentines Day or Date Night!
