The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Heart in your Heartbreak
All I can say is that I love this song! It’s one of those songs that totally just hits the spot. The lyrics are enticing as hell! No description can truly justify how awesome this song is, the lyrics speak volumes and can truly be relatable to anyone. One of the best things about a song is feeling the emotion of the song and the artist and I believe this song captures that entity really well.
I present you with the youtube link and I’m sure it will end up not working so feel free to give it a search on youtube or Google as there is plenty of mp3s for this song laying around and it will not disappoint.

Brandon Flowers - Only The Young
Time for a late night blog post!
This song has been stuck in my head for the last two months and it grants me the same captivation from when I had first heard it. I feel like the lesson from this song is something that everyone can relate with. To me this song says make due with what has happened in the past and don't let the past make your future and to break away from it and guide your self into the sun ( definitely easier said then done) and redeem yourself to who you want to be.
Overall just a wonderful meaning to a wonderful song, now enough rambling!
Here is the the song and the music video:
I love it and I hope you enjoy it too!

mark. Eye Shadows
Mark is a make up brand that is part of Avon, I have been using Avon for many years and have enjoyed many of their products especially there moisture therapy line and you get a good bang for your buck. Lately I have been attracted to many mark products and I picked up a bunch of eye shadows which I will be reviewing for you in this blog post.
So lets start of with the quality of the shadows, considering the shadows retail for about $6 each however you can always catch them on sale. The quality is pretty good and I was actually quiet surprised at how pigmented they were and how well they blended out and the siz of each shadow is pretty big. I would definetley recommend these eye shadows and will be purchasing or of them in the future.
So I have 8 eye shadows and I also purchases the mark eyeshadow palette so it would be easier to store them.
Picture of these lovely eye shadows:
Top two: Whisper and Corset
Bottom two: Minx and Gioia
Top two : Heavenly and Tiki
Bottom two: Java and Night Owl
Left to right: Night Owl, Tiki, Java, Heavenly, Gioia, Corset, Minx and Whisper
Hope this was helpful!
Thanks for reading!

Left to right: Night Owl, Tiki, Java, Heavenly, Gioia, Corset, Minx and WhisperSorry about the horrible swatches, they are blended out! The pigmentation is great for the price however I was a bit disappointed in Heavenly because it barely gives off any color at all, I have yet to try it on top of a base as I rarely wear colored shadows.
Thanks for reading!
Follow!
I have decided to re-add the follow side bar! I took it down a few months ago cause no one was following and I just assumed that no one was reading. I decided I would like to be more involved with my blog so I added it back in hopes of at least gaining one follower.On that note, I would greatly appreciate if you followed my blog, it truly would make my day but not pressure.

Thanks for visiting and have a Lovely Day!

Revlon Nail Polish Haul
Recently I came across an amazing sale on Revlon nail polishes! I couldn't resist and had to pick up a few or so, for myself. I love all 4 colors that I got! I found some that had a thinner formula which I have realized in my other Revlon nail polishes and some have a semi -thick formula. The colors which I picked up are :
Minted - Minted is a pastel mint green, the formula is on the thinner side and requires about 2-3 coats to get opaque coverage on your nails. I really like this color its a good alternative to some of the higher priced mint nail polishes.
Silver Screen - When I initially purchased Silver Screen I though it would be more of a metallic light lilac purple, that was until I read the name and realized its just meant to be silver. With that said I still see hints of lilac in the bottle but when I applied it on my nails its just silver no lilac what so ever. But its a really nice silver and I have been looking for a good silver polish for quiet some time so needless to say I am quiet happy with this purchase!
Midnight Affair - Midnight Affair is a really pretty navy blue. I have also been looking for a nice navy nail polish and this one fits the bill. I wouldn't say its anything spectacular but it is still nice and I will be wearing it especially in this cold gloomy weather.
Blackest Black - This nail polish is actually quiet unique, you may be thinking oh another black nail polish what could possibly be different? But before you skip this polish, I would like to say that I find this black quiet unique! It is a creamy black but has a bunch of blue sparkles, the blue sparkles are not very noticeable but noticeable enough. They add a nice little touch to the generic black nail polish!
Time for some pics, please excuse my rushed and hastily applied nail polish application:

Well that is all of the pictures! Hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it informative. Have a fantastic day!

Dealing With Breakouts!
Boo!
I just had a major breakout all over my skin, how annoying. I have a few spots on my forehead and a few on the parts of my cheek closes to my nose, and a couple other areas. Personally, I hate acne and go to great length to counter act it. So in order to wake up with acne free fresh looking skin I use the following products:
1.Making sure all make up has been removed. I use Vichy Purete Therrmale Exfoliant Creme all over my face, first I dampen my face and then massage the cream in to my face for about 30 - 60 seconds. I was it off with warm water and pat dry my skin. For extreme cleansing I would follow with a gentle cleanser or an acne cleanser but sometimes I avoid this step so I don't end up over cleansing my face. I purchased the product from shoppers drug mart in Canada for $20.00 however you can go to http://www.vichyusa.com/_us/_en/face-care/cleansers-toners/purete-thermale-exfoliating-cream.htm to purchase the product. Image taken from the link above (Vichy Website)
2. Once my skin is dry I moisturize using the Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion by the Body Shop, all over my skin. This helps to moisturize my skin and contains lemon tea tree oil which will help kill the bacteria on my skin and prevent further break outs. This lotion also contains Tamanu oil which helps decrease redness and also claims to calm irritation. I think the benefits which this product provides my skin with is amazing. Image taken from and product can be purchased from : http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/tea-tree/prod400026 . I bought mine at The Body Shop, and the product retails on the website for $18.00.
3. The last thing I do when I have a break out before bed is to apply a topical acne benzaclin cream on only my break outs. I do not use this product all over my skin because it is way to harsh and will cause drying. To purchase this product you must visit a dermatologist and get a prescription as it can not be bought over the counter. It works wonder when used just on your breakout (the spots) and can work wonders.
Well that is my regime! Hopefully this will help you out and give you some tips and perhaps lead you to try products that you have not before. It works for me and an important thing to remember about acne is that it will not disappear over night, these products will help substantially especially if your break out is just minor and regular use will work wonders.
Time to sleeep!

Hello!
I've been quiet lazy updating this ole thing! Mainly I have got no time. Nevertheless it is FREEZING! The weather is ridiculously cold! -20 Where I'm from! And to make things better I am stuck with the flu .. and my head is pounding! Due to my illness I missed my notorious organic chem lab. I guess that may as well be a good thing!
I've been meaning to do a review on my mark eye shadows but my laptop will not read my memory card it is the most annoyingest thing ever! I also FINALLY received my urban outfitters parcel I will also be posting pictures later (once my memory card goes in my laptop) and reviews of my items! Also I think I love CHUNKY SWEATERS! Especially in this weather..
Some music I have been listening to.. the first one is quiet the surprise.
1. Grenade - Bruno Mars
2. Your Song - Elie Goulding
3.i-m the one - jj
4.Love is All - The tallest man on Earth
5. Heart in Your Heartbreak - The pains of Being Pure at Heart
6. Dancing on my Own - Robyn
Jj is a band well rather a duo that I basically listen to because their voice is A-mazing! As well Dancing on my Own is such an amazing personal anthem it is sad but empowering in a way I guess.
Anyways enough of this post, I need some coffee!
