Something Cassandra

One of the things I love about this time of year is constantly having a place to go (even though it can get a little overwhelming at times). I love the look of a "full glam" makeup look, even if it took no time at all to achieve it! This makeup tutorial is super simple, and it is very versatile and can be used with any lip color. It's perfect if you have to get ready quick, but still want to look more dressed up. 

The berry lip is such a good go-to for the holidays. It's a good statement lip color without committing to a red lip (because we all know the joys of eating and drinking with a red lip). However, if you are not into a bold lip or want something a little more toned down, a nude lip will pair with this look perfectly!

Good morning! Since the semester is finally over, I am back to regularly filming and making blog posts! I took the past two weeks off to study and get ready for finals. For my first holiday look, I wanted to do something classic. A red lip is a staple for the Holiday Season! I also am obsessed with this Mica Pigment from Naked Cosmetics. It adds a little extra to the eyes. Down below is my holiday tutorial as well as all of the products I used. I did have technical difficulties at the end (the camera died and I had no idea) so I didn't get to film my highlight and lips, but I got everything else! I hope you enjoy, and let me know if you would like to see any other holiday looks!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Decorating for Christmas is probably one of my favorite things to do. Since I still live at home, my room is one of the only places in the house that I can decorate with whatever theme I want. And since it's a small space, I thought I would share how I decorated it to maybe give ideas for anyone else who has a small space to decorate! I recently redecorated my room to a pink theme, so it's only right that I do a pink and gold Christmas theme.

I wanted my tree to be the focal point for the room. The one I have is a pre-lit one that I got from my grandparents. I went for a Rustic Glam style of decorating with using burlap as the garland. All of the ornaments are from either Hobby Lobby or Walmart. If you haven't been to Hobby Lobby yet for Christmas decorations, I highly suggest it! All Christmas decorations are 50% off, so it makes decorating on a budget a lot easier.

I found this mini nutcracker at Hobby Lobby as well. I also added the Fairy Dust that you might have saw in my Lush Haul to add more Pink Christmas vibes.

For the top of my makeup desk, I added this gold sparkle reindeer that I got at Hobby Lobby last year, as well as this Christmas tree that reminds me of a Candy land. 

Finally, I made these two DIY's in under 10 minutes! I found these two baskets laying around in the basement, and for the top one I added these fairy lights that I found at Wegmans and the pinecones and fillers in both baskets are from Hobby Lobby. They add a nice rustic touch with still fitting into the "Glam" theme as well.

I hope this gave you some ideas if you are still haven't gotten to decorating yet!
