♥ My Favorite Way To Wear Naked 3 ♥

Today I'm going to be reviewing Urban Decay's new Naked 3 palette! I've never really cared for any of the Naked palettes before because I have Too Faced's Natural Eye palette and that one has a bunch of pretty neutrals in it. But when I saw the colors for the Naked 3 palette I fell in love instantly. ♥ I love pink and rosy colors so if you love pink you will probably love this palette too, haha!

I like how the palette comes with an eyeshadow and crease brush and samples of UD's primers, but I don't really like how to packaging comes in a metal tin. I'm so afraid that I'm going to drop it and all of the eyeshadows will crumble up! 

These are all supposed to be brand new shades and they are all super gorgeous! There's 12 colors and 3 are matte and the rest are shimmery & metallic/satin. I'm not going to take pictures of the swatches because there's already loads of pictures on other people's blogs with swatches.

But anyways this is how I've been using the Naked 3 palette!

I used Strange on the lid. On the inner crease I used Limit. On the outer crease I used Nooner and Liar. And on the outer crescent I used Factory. Finally I used Strange again on my brow bone as a highlighter. ♥

My phone changed the quality of the picture when I uploaded it to my computer so that's why it looks so funny! This is basically the way I do my makeup with every palette I've ever owned but it's my favorite way to wear my eyeshadow so it's okay, hahaha. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and tell me what you think about the new Naked palette!

♥ Perfect Plus One Bag from ModCloth ♥

I've wanted this purse for so long and now I finally have it! It was an early Christmas present from my mom and I am so grateful that she bought it for me. The purse is a cute baby pink color with cream colored lace on the front flap. It has a heart shaped lock on the front that keeps it closed and on the top there's a handle and also two rings that you can attach a long strap onto! 

I love this purse so much and it's perfect for everyday use! It's not heavy and it's small on the inside but big enough to hold my phone, wallet, my glucose monitor, and a few other things too. ♥

♡ How To Make Your Hair Grow Long & Healthy ♡

Hello! Today I'm making a blog post on how to get your hair to grow long & healthy. 

My hair goes all the way down my back. My hair has been getting thinner the last year or so because I've been very sick. Other than it being super thin my hair is healthy and I've learned quite a few tips and tricks on getting it that way! So here is how you can get your hair to be super long and healthy. ♡

♡ DON'T WASH YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY ♡

I know that sounds really gross but when you wash your hair everyday you are stripping your hair from it's natural oils from your hair follicles which damages your hair! By not washing your hair everyday you're allowing your hair to revive itself on it's own and gives it a natural shine. If you're like me and have super oily hair though you should try a dry shampoo! A dry shampoo is a spray that has ingredients that get rid of the unwanted oil in your hair. They usually cost under $20 and you can find them at places like Target or Walmart.
I use TRESemme Fresh Start and it's only $6!

♡ NO HEAT PRODUCTS ♡

When I was 16 I straightened my hair everyday and all it did was damage my hair and make it impossible for me to grow my hair as long as I wanted. I ended up chopping my hair off and having to regrow it back to the length I like. Using heat on your hair is very damaging and it's what causes split ends. To get your hair curly you can always use foam rollers or you can put your hair in pin curls. But if you DO decide to use heat products you should use a heat protectant spray! You can buy it anywhere and they usually cost anywhere under $20. 

♡ MASSAGE YOUR SCALP ♡

Massaging your scalp will get the blood in your head circulating and that will also help you get your hair to grow! I usually massage my scalp before bed and when I wake up in the mornings. You can also buy a head massager if you wanted to! I've been meaning to buy one myself, haha.

♡ HAIR MASKS ♡

I like to make my own hair masks but I've also been meaning to try some of LUSH's hair masks.

I do an egg and honey hair mask that I will probably post the tutorial on here someday. Homemade and natural hair masks are better for you and they leave your hair feeling amazing!

♡ FINDING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO FOR YOU ♡

My favorite shampoo is the NEW! shampoo from LUSH. It's for thinning hair and I loved how it made my hair feel! I've also been wanting to try Dr.Peppermint, which is supposed to stimulate hair growth!

LUSH has all kinds of shampoo's and conditioners for every hair type, you can view their shampoo's here.♥

Left: Dr.Peppermint $12 Right: NEW! $12

♡ OTHER TIPS ♡

♡ Don't wash your hair with hot water! Hot water and steam opens up your pores so what I do is I wash my hair with warm water and then rinse it with colder water so that my pores can close up.

♡ Don't tie your hair in super tight ponytails! This will damage your hair if done every day and will cause your hair to break off easily.

♡ DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER! Water is super amazing for your health, your face, and hair!

♡ If you use lots of hair products remember to wash your hair out really good at night time. 
♡ If you want to you should as your doctor about taking Biotin pills! I've been taking them for 6 months now and they help with your hair, skin, and nails as well!
♡ Get a trim every couple of months, it will help your hair grow faster!

♥ Too Faced: La Creme in Marshmallow Bunny ♥

Too Faced's La Creme lipsticks are "rich creamy colors, drenched with luscious, hydrating moisturizers including white lotus flower and power peptides." The white lotus flower and power peptides hydrate, soothe and condition your lips. These lipsticks come in 20 different colors and they're all vegan friendly!

They're $21 and you can buy them on Too Faced's website or at Ulta and Sephora. ♥

Marshmallow Bunny is super shimmery, creamy, and it's a sheer baby pink color. I love wearing pink lipsticks so this color is perfect for me. You can also add this lip color to the center of your lips to make your lips look fuller and to get a cute pouty look! This lipstick makes my lips feel super soft while I wear it and after I take it off as well. It only lasts about 4 hours though if you wear lip liner underneath it. Another downside is that since it is super creamy it leaves lines on your lips whenever you press them together.. 

♥ Cute Finds: Tiny Tangerines ♥

Okay so I was going to talk about Kelly's shop, Tiny Tangerines, in a post during Blogmas but she is going to be closing her shop for the holidays (she deserves it!! from what I've seen on her instagram she's been working up a storm!) and I wanted to post about her shop in case you guys wanted to buy something from her for someone you care about! She sells super cute ear warmers, pins, and hairclips.

Here's a few of my favorite things from her. ♥

Here is a link to her Etsy & here are links to her instagram and tumblr!

♥ Cute Finds: Fuzzy Pink Sweater ♥

I've been looking for a fuzzy pink sweater ever since Lana Del Rey's H&M campaign last year!

Well, last night I went to Walmart to find new PJ's. I decided to look at their everyday clothing and then I saw this sweater and I instantly fell in love. ♥ It's a lot more fuzzy and a lot less money than the H&M one. It's also not made of animal fur. (which makes it 10000x better!!) It was $12 and it comes in grey, white, black, pastel blue and baby pink! I bought the pink one because I love pink but I want the blue one too.

The color doesn't show up very good on camera but it's a lot pink-er in person! :)
