My next buy

I want this palette so bad! It has 16 of Urban Decay's best selling shadows, 2 brushes, and the Urban Decay signiture Eyeshadow Primer Potion. The colors are so pretty and flattering for everyone! Its so versatile I'm getting it for all of my friends! Its 45$ at Sephora. Who could say no?

2 favorite mascaras

I have small eyes and small lashes but these two mascaras take my eyelashes from shrimpy to wow. The Dior one is a staple in my make up bag and the Chanel one I just tried last week as a sample but I simply love it! I think its going to be my next beauty buy. Neither one is cheap though. Diorshow mascara goes for 23 dollars and Chanel exeptional mascara is 28 dollars. My sister's favorite mascara is Maybelline Define a lash which is only 8 dollars. So for those of you who would rather not spend almost thirty dollars on mascara, that one is for you.

Saving money on what you love

For all you girls that love to shop at expensive make up stores like Sephora and MAC or clothing stores like JCREW and Victoria's Secret here is some advice for you. Go to your favorite store's website and sign up for their emails. Maybe some of you dont want your inbox to be flooded with junk mail but this is worth it! They will most likely send you emails when they are having big sales and they will also give you private discounts for email subscribers only. You can save a lot of money by shopping when they email you with sales updates, and free shipping! It gives you a perfect excuse to buy what you want and feel ok about it. They also tell you when there is new arrivals so you can put it on your list. Here are a few stores that help me save:
Sephora (sign up for beauty insider and get lots of goodies!)
Bath and Body Works
MAC
Bobbi Brown
Victoria's Secret
Jcrew
Tiffany's
Urban Outfitters

Best handcream

Winter is right around the corner and with people getting sick all the time washing your hands is necessary. You need a good hand cream to restore the moisture you lose from cold weather and washing your hands. Luckily, Neutrogena has the best handcream on the market. Allure magazine agrees! Your hands will be silky smooth in a matter of days. The best part is its only 5 dollars. For a lotion this good, you will never turn back.

Tame those curly tresses!

For those of you with curly hair, or even those of you with straight hair, sometimes your hair gets frizzy throughout the day. I know mine does. But, I found a way to make my curls look perfect and stay put. Try it out for yourself!

1. Take a shower in the morning or wet your hair

2. when you get out of the shower squeeze excess water out of your hair. Then, put in a leave in conditioner.

3. Bend over and flip your hair so its all in front of your face. Wrap your towel around your hair turban style. After 30 seconds or so take the towel off and spray a curl enhancing spray or scrunch a mousse into your hair.

4. If you want to blowdry, use a diffuser and put the diffuser beneath your hair so its cradeling it, or do what I do and just let it air dry.

5. Once dry, spray with a hairspray. (Usually I skip this part because my hair doesn't have time to dry before I go to school.)

Your hair will hopefully be looking fab and giving you soft, pretty curls. I've gotten lots of compliments on my hair so far!

These are the my favorite hair products for perfect curls: Charles Worthington Results leave in conditioner, Garnier Fructis sleek and shine leave in conditioner, John Freida Dream Curls spray, and Garnier Fructis sleek and shine hairspray.

You can get these at drugstores like CVS and they are all inexpensive so you won't break the bank
