Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Hope everyone had fun celebrating Irish culture (and Christianity in Ireland if you’re religious) whether you’re Irish or not. There were so many spirited people yesterday wearing shamrock necklaces and headbands, green shirts, glitter and of course green eye shadow – LOVE IT!

Yesterday was a busy day filled with studying, but then again when is it not? At the end of my night I decided to reward myself by joining in the St. Patties Day festivities and since I don’t have much green in wardrobe I did a St. Patrick’s Day inspired makeup look. I had one hour to go from bare-faced and frizzy haired to lets-hope-I-look-pulled-together-out-the-door.

My favorite part about this look was using Urban Decay’s Loaded, a green/black colored eye shadow.  I used it over a dark Coastal Scents green and it gives the outer corners such great dimension.

Nadine Jolie and My New Years Resolution

 

 

 
 
 
I’ve taken all my posts from my blogspot and moved it here to its new and future home. Today is my first official entry into beautyforthought.com. From now until ****, every blog entry I will ever make will be right here. I’m sorry to say I’ve grown out of Blogger, although they have been great to me, I just had to move on to bigger and better things. With that being said, here goes!
 
In one of my favorite classes at FIDM this quarter, I have had the pleasure of meeting Nadine Jolie, ‘grandmother of beauty blogging,’ ex Lucky and Ladies’ Home Journal beauty editor, now turned author of two best-selling books: Beauty Confidential: The No Preaching, No Lies, Advice-You’ll-Actually-Use-Guide to Looking Your Best and Confessions of a Beauty Addict. She was so personable, and offered such helpful advice from surviving our student days to blogging to insides of the industry. I felt motivated and for inspired to really take my blog to the next step.

Nadine Jolie gave me the idea for my one and only New Year’s resolution: I will blog about beauty news, useful tips, personal experiences, and all things beauty as often as I can. To be specific, 7 days a week, 5 least. I also have a new domain you can reach my blog on http://beautyforthought.com/.
I can’t tell you how excited I am to take my blog to the next level at its new home. This move to my domain has been highly anticipated – I kid you not it is last thing I think about before going to sleep and the first thing I think about when waking up these past couple weeks. I’m excited to get started and motivated to put forth my efforts into maintaining a great blog filled with fun and useful tips for all fellow beauty junkies. 

I’m always on the look out for ways to improve my blog, so I urge you to give me feedback. If there is anything you would like to see on my blog, I’m completely open to suggestions. Have a question about something? Ask me. If I don’t know, then I’ll find a way to get in touch with someone who does. You can also catch me on Twitter, follow me – http://twitter.com/Beauty4thought. After the new year I will be blogging much more often and if anybody wants to keep me in check be my guest.=)
Happy New Year everyone! Have fun and stay safe! 

“May each day of the New Year bring happiness, good cheer and sweet surprises to you and all your dear ones. Happy New Year!” 

  

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!



Merry Christmas everyone!

I just wanted to share with you the great gifts I got for Christmas that I am just dying to try!

My lovely family got me the Sephora Collector’s Edition palette, and seriously its HUGE. I’ll definitely be using this for my night’s out.

I also got a customized MAC Color Palette, it’s a shadow quad. I can’t wait to see how they look on me!
Sephora’s Facebook fan page is buzzing with what everyone on Facebook has gotten for Christmas from Sephora. If you’ve gotten something super cool from Sephora, post on the Sephora Facebook fan page!

Happy Holidays everyone, stay safe!
