This outfit goes with the Valentine’s Day Look post I wrote yesterday. I got this Red Rose Spaghetti Strap Tunic at Forever 21 for only $15.80. It’s very soft and silky, and the rose print is perfect for the occasion. 
I paired this with black tights and a floral headband also from Forever 21. The headband has black flowers along the side, and it’s $4.80.
This headband with red roses looks pretty too, but I didn’t see it at my local Forever 21 store:
I would probably wear my hair curly, since I think curly hair is romantic. Curly hair with these headbands would probably look more elegant too.

Valentine’s Day is coming up! This year it’s on a Sunday, so if you’re short on time and need a quick makeup look (maybe you’re having an early dinner out since you have school/work the next day) — this is one of the easiest eye shadow looks. I only used two colors, and it’s really easy to blend.
EYES
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance (all over lid)
- MAC E/S in “Naked Lunch” (all over lid and highlight/brow bone)
- MAC E/S in “Handwritten” (outer V; blend towards crease using a fluffy brush like MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush)
- Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in “Black Ink” (upper lash line)
CHEEKS
- MAC Powder Blush in “Harmony” (contour)
- MAC Powder Blush in “Sunbasque” (apples of cheeks)
LIPS
- Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor in “80 Gilty Rose”

Do you have a lot of eraser shavings, broken pieces of mechanical pencil lead, and little pieces of paper on your desk? I usually do after a long physics problem set. I wish I had found this robo vacuum sooner (now that I graduated, my desk is too clean). Robo Vacum is a battery-operated (2 AA) gadget that picks up all those little unwanted debris on your table.
I ripped up some pieces of antibacterial tissue paper for my little demo:
Simply turn on the robot by pressing the blue button on top of its head. Then glide the robot gently along the area that you want it to clean up. Here’s the result:
The robot picked everything up! As long as the mess you want to pick up is dry (like crumbs and eraser shavings), then this little guy works wonders.
Robo Vacum comes in three colors: red, gray, and blue. I got the gray one, because I think it looks more like R2D2. I got it in a small toy store for $14.99, but I found it online on Amazon.com
in case you want one of your own!
My only complaint is that I initially thought the robot would move by itself, but you have to move it over the area you want cleaned. It’s still really cute though!

The weather has been gloomy these past couple weeks, so I felt like making this colorful look:
Most of the colors I used for this look came from the Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette
. Since the palette doesn’t have names for the colors, I’m including a picture of the palette where I circled the colors that I used. This is also a good way for those of you who do not have the palette to find colors similar to the ones I used.
EYES
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance (entire lid and under lower lash line)
- MAC E/S in “Femme Fi” (entire lid, including highlight/brow bone)
- MAC E/S in “Bright Sunshine” (inner corner and inner lower lash line)
- Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette – hot pink E/S (center lid – blend towards “Bright Sunshine”)
- Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette – dark purple E/S (outer V – blend towards hot pink)
- Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette – lime green E/S (center lower lash line)
- Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette – bright blue E/S (outer lower lash line)
- Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in “Black Ink” (upper lash line)
- MAC Eye Kohl in “Smolder” (lower waterline)
CHEEKS
- MAC Powder Blush in “Harmony” (contour)
- MAC Blush in “Nuance” (on apples)
LIPS
- MAC L/S in “Bubbles”
Accidentally get mascara under your eye? It’s okay! It happens to a lot of us. Sometimes we blink too hard before the mascara is completely dry and get a little under our eye; sometimes we leave a big blob of mascara on our skin. Whether it’s a lot or a little, it’s easy to clean up. The trick is to take a dry Q-tip and lightly sweep up the mascara boo boo. Here, I swiped the Q-tip from right to left — one motion is all it took to clean up the mess.
Wasn’t that easy?
You could also take the same Q-tip and lightly swipe it on the outer corner of your eye to clean up any excess eye shadow, as I’ve done here:
The trick for cleaning up mascara on your eye lid is different — it requires taking a brush and some of the eye shadow color in the area where the mess is. I’ll save this one for another post!
