Black and White makes a comeback!
When you think of Spring you think of Floral and bright colors. Which is what this year is all about! But for the first time you a different trend this Spring too, Black and White. I have a few examples down below of what some of those high end brands are showing this Spring. What do you guys think? Would you wear these looks for the Spring or do you prefer the normal floral and bright color looks we have seen time and time again.

My Go-To Eye Liner
So I have tried almost everything from Pencil Liners to Liquid and Felt Tip and out of all of them I have to say I love my Maybelline EYESTUDIO Gel Liner.
I have had this Liner for a long time now and it still has a lot of product left. Now I dont use it on a daily basis but even my sister, who uses it everyday and is the reason I bought it, even she still has a lot of product left.
What I love about this Liner is how smooth it glides onto the eyelid and how long it last. I have had accidents where I forget I was wearing it and then would rub my lids, but when I would see Liner on my finger I wouldnt see it smudged on my lid. weather its do to how much product you put on I am not sure. But I love this liner and will repurchase it when I use it up. And another thing i love about this is the fact that it comes with its own liner brush.
So let me know what you guys love to use, and if you have used any gel liner which is your favorite?
And check back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for more Blog post!!
Follow me on the links bellow for a chance to win my makeup giveaway I plan on doing real soon!!!

GREAT NEWS YOU GUYS!!!
So this is random and out there, but I thought I would share this mile stone with you guys. I got my Drivers License this morning!! And I know its a bit dumb to be so happy but I am 19 and have just got it!! So I am excited that I no longer feel left out and I also have a License among my friends!!
So for all those out there who are going to try or have already tried but failed, dont worry, it isnt all that hard, just try your hardest and dont be nervous. I was and I will admit I messed up a few times and the lady told me so. But in my defense it just snowed out here where I live and there is a lot of snow and ice so the roads were slippery. All she told me was to be careful in this type of whether and to go slow.
So I wish you guys luck in your test or a congratulation if you have already passed.
And drive safe! No texting and driving! No drinking and driving! And always wear your seat belts, it saved my sister and mother's life once.

The 10 Commandments of Blush!!
People think it is so easy and simple to apply blush to our faces. Wrong. You dont just grave any shade of blush and use any brush and lap it randomly on your face. There are rules to these kinds of things. And I have the 10 Commandments to Blush.
1. Start out with a Flawless Foundation.
Use foundation first to even out your skin tone. Blush will stay put longer and look more natural.
2. Layer with a Bronzer.
Use a large, fluffy brush to apply bronzer in the shape of a 3 on each side of your face. ( forehead, cheeks, jawline) Then top with Blush for a natural-looking glow.
3. Pick the right Formula for your skin.
Have oily skin? Powder Blush will last longer. Have dry or aged skin? A Cream blush gives it a glowing finish. Those with Normal Skin can use either one.
4. Choose your Tools.
Dust on Powder Blush with a large brush with Tapered ends. It will deposit the color exactly where you want it. Dab Cream Blush on with your fingers or a wedged sponge.
5. Smile!!
Start by applying Blush to the Apples of your cheeks- the area that is most full and high when you smile. Blend up and back towards your Hairline.
6. Consider Contouring.
Playing with light and shadows on your face can shape its appearance. To soften a square face, dust blush or bronzer along your Jawline. To shorten a long face, apply some color to your temples. To make a round face thinner, sweep blush to the tops of the cheeks only.
7. Find the Right Color.
Pink or Coral warms up a pale face. Rose or apricot makes medium skin glow. And dusty brick reds or plums enhance darker skin tones.
8. Top with Powder.
A light dusting of sheer powder all over your face will help your blush last all day-and all night- long.
9. Finish with a kiss of Highlighter.
For Special nights out, accent your blush with a touch of highlighter along the very tops of your cheekbones. It picks up the light and looks super pretty in photos.
10. Complement with Lipstick.
Your Blush and lipstick dont have to match exactly, but they should be in the same color family for an overall flattering look.
Follow these Commandments and your makeup with look flawless everytime!

15 Min Workout!
Who loves to workout? No one I'm sure! I know I dont enjoy it all the time. Especially when I dont know what to do next. So what I think is best is to have a set routine your entire workout. Whether you have an hour or three, its best to have a routine so you dont end up bored and just give up for the day.
So I came across this workout routine that will be simple to do! All you have to do is follow directions! How simpler can it get? And you can do them all at home within 15 min if you dont stop, but just to be safe I would give myself 30 min since it will be the first time you try it.
Let me know if you guys plan on doing it or if you already did and how you like it!

Running for beginners.
We all want to be able to run non stop for a couple of miles. But every time we try we might last a couple of minutes and then we give up. But thats because we need to help our body little by little to run non stop. Now, I happen to come across this 12 week program to help you run for a full 20 min non stop. If you wish to last longer you can add more time to it, or in this case repeat the steps instead of 4 times maybe 6 or 8 times.
Let me know if you guys decide to do this and how its going! I would do this routine maybe 3-4 times a week. Maybe more if you have to time, but try and get your body into this routine and don't give up!
Now I cant promise you will loose 20 or 40 lb's doing this, but what I can promise is that it will help you become a good runner!

Who is ready for Spring?
After the holidays everyone can't wait for Spring. All the cute dresses and bright purses and makeup! A great change from the Black and Grays of Winter. So what is a good idea to stock up on right before spring starts? How about Nail Polish?
My Makeup Monday for today is one of my favorite nail polishes for spring!
(Left) Sally Hansen's French White Tip (Right) OPI's Big Hair...Big Nails
I love the fun and bright look of these nails!And it isnt all that hard to do. The French Tip is my favorite because of how easy it is. You can either use nail tapes from the drugstores as a guide line for the nail polish and then just strip them away one it is dried. But I feel like buying those strips is just a waste of my money. I prefer to just paint the tips of my nails and clean it up with Q Tips and Nail Polish Remover. Its simple and effective and cheaper too.

My other favorite nail color to use in the Spring is Pink's. OPI has many beautiful colors for spring, blues, pinks, reds, purples, pastels. But I happen to like this color the most. This nail polish is, in my best description, an orange pink red color. It has a little of each, but I think it is fair to call it Pink for the over all look of it. Now it is a sheer color, and it took about three coats to give it the vibrant pink you see here, but I have learned that if you use a good base coat or even just white nail polish under it, you tend to use less of the polish and get an even more vivid color.
I used Sally Hansen's French White Tip nail polish and over it a thin coat of this French Pink nail polish that I had laying around the house. But I know there is a kit by Sally Hansen that has everything you would need.
So which nail look is your favorite? Tweet me pictures or swatches of what you plan on using or have used before for the Spring.

App Review!! Game
This is a game for up to 4 players. And they can be strangers or friends. The object of the game is basic: You race to the finish line and try to slice, chop, or electrocute the other players and get to the finish line first.
You are also given safety items like a safety bubble, or an extra life, plus you get a paw print one that momentary gives you fast speed. But how do you get all these? You have to pass through an orange box with a "?" on it and you get any random one of the powers. So it is merely chance as to what you get, and when the game starts you are also given a power at random to use first.
If you happen to download this game or already have it add me as a friend so when ever I am on we can play together! my username is : Angieprincess19
My rating? A 4.5 out of 5 only because I love this game but at the same time I wish they didnt have the Candy Fields, those are real hard for me!! :(

Maybelline Rocket Mascara Review
The packaging of the mascara bottle is so cute! It is a dark blue and in the shape of a rocket or bullet.
(On the Left are my eyelashes curled with no makeup. On the Right are my eyelashes with the Mascara.)
So the question is, would i recommend this product to someone else? Yes, I love this mascara and am very happy with the results. My only issue is that I wish it would make my lashes thicker too, but its ok.
Comment bellow or Tweet me and questions or recommendations you might have.
Keep coming back for more beauty and health tips, I have lots to share!! XOXO

Fresh and Clean!
Now how many of us had our nails all done for the holidays? Weather we did Acrylic, Gel, or regular Mani's. Don't you think its time we gave our poor nails a break? Well maybe its time we do that!
Fresh and Clean Nails. That means no color, no Gels, no Acrylic, no Nail Salon. At home Nail Care is the best we can all do for our nails and our wallets. So why not invest a little so that we can take care of our nails? I was searching online and found some tools from Sally Hansen to use for an at home nail care kit. Of course you can use what you have at home, it doesn't have to be this brand, but its one I like and have used before, so I know they work well.
So you do the math, how much money are you spending monthly to put on fake nails, just so that they will destroy your natural nails. Save that money and purchase this kit instead, in the long run, you will save more money and have beautiful natural nails.
I found these products at Target.com.

On the top left is the Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps Hard as Nails Nail polish, it is a clear nail polish that nourishes as well as hardens your nails to make them stronger. Next to that is the Sally Hansen Problem Cuticle Remover. Its a cream you massage onto your cuticles and leave for a couple of minutes to soften your cuticles so they will be easy to remove. Next to that is the cuticle pusher and cuticle cutter set also from Sally Hansen. There names I presume to be self explanatory. Now on the bottom left is just a regular Sally Hansen nail cutter, also self explanatory. And finally next to that is a simple nail file, also from Sally Hansen.
How much would you spend at a nail salon for Gel nails? 30.00-35.00
How much would you spend for Acrylic nails? About 22.00-25.00
How much would you spend for a Manicure? About 15.00-20.00
The total Retail value for these products is $29.07 USDSo you do the math, how much money are you spending monthly to put on fake nails, just so that they will destroy your natural nails. Save that money and purchase this kit instead, in the long run, you will save more money and have beautiful natural nails.
I found these products at Target.com.

5 min Workout Routine you can do at home
Not everyone has 1-3 hours to spare for the gym. So we decide we shouldn't go, but is that the best idea? No, of course not. Well I have a solution for that problem. A 5 min workout routine; at least I did it in 5 min and 46 seconds. It isn't too hard but you will need a person, and either a chair or bed. Remember to take breaks where you need them and to stay hydrated during your routine.
1. You lay on your back with your legs in the air at a 45 angle. Then you spin your legs clock wise 15x. And repeat counter clockwise.
2. You lay on your back with your legs raised on a chair or bed. You lay your hands flat against the floor, and the. Do 20 half crunches.
3. You lay on your back with your knees bent and your hands raised slightly. The. You do 20 full crunches.
4. You lay on your back with your knees bent. You bring your knees to your chest and then bring it back down. 10x on each leg.
5. You lay on your back with your knees bent and your hands on your head. You do a full crunch with your left elbow touching your right knee. And then with your right elbow touching your left knee. Repeat for a full count of 10 crunches. Remember to alternate left from right one after the other.
6. Lay flat on your hands and foot and the. The. Stretch your back upwards and hold for 10 seconds.
7. You lay on your back with your arms stretched out and your knees to your chest. Then turn your head right and bring your legs to the left and lay them flat. Hold for 2 seconds and repeat 10x on each side.
8. Lay on your back and hold a persons ankles as they stand right over your head. Have them hold one leg up and wait for 3 seconds then let your leg fall gently. Repeat for the next leg and repeat again. Do 10 on each leg.
9. Finally, lay on your elbows and the tips on your toes. Make sure your back is straight. Hold this position for 10 seconds.
You can do this routine anywhere; while your kid naps, during your break at the office, while you watch your favorite TV show! Now I did this routine fast and took breaks where I needed them.
Remember, your not an athlete, this wont give you crazy abs, and I cant promise you will loose 5 lbs if you do this 3 times a day for a week. But I can show you a routine that takes minutes and maybe you can squeeze it in your daily routine a few times a day for 3 days a week and get the minimum exercise you need for a healthier lifestyle.
Let me know in the comments bellow how long it took you to do this on your first try!

Makeup Starter Kit!
Every girl needs makeup to a certain point. To cover a blemish, to add length to the eyelashes, to add some color to your lips. What ever there reason may be, every girl has some type of makeup. Now don't get me wrong, natural beauty is always there no matter who you are, but why not enhance what is already there? But no one knows where to start! What brand is good and what brand is a waste of our money? No one knows until they try it. So I have come up with a simple guide to the basic must haves for any girl!
First things first: Your face!
Now every kit must have a foundation where to build from, in this case literally!
Above are products that almost everyone is familiar with, now you dont have to get these identical ones, there are many brands ranging from inexpensive drugstore brands to high end brands. You can purchase any that fit your budget and skin type.
A face primer is used all over the face to prepare and smooth out your face.
Over that you should use a foundation fit for your skin type, some have oily, dry, sensitive, or acne prone skin. It pays off to do research for your ideal foundation, only you know your face better than anyone else.
In order to cover up any redness or blemish that the foundation didn't get, you need to add concealer to those spots, most popularly under your eyes to get rid of dark circles.
In order to set your foundation and concealer and prevent what is referred to "cakyness" you need a good face powder. And once again you need to find one that is best fit for your skin type; again, research.
And after you have applied all these you need to add some color to that solid tone of your face. A nice blush and bronzer combination will do the trick. Again you should find one that best fits your skin tone.
Once you have completed an even toned and smooth canvas, its time to add on to your eyes!
Now most people prefer to just curl there lashes and add a bit of mascara and call it a day. I will admit to being one of those people. But sometimes its nice to add some eye shadow and eyeliner and have your eyes looking amazing.
So to start everything off you will, again, need a primer. In this case an eye shadow primer.
Once you have put that all over your lids, you can apply eye shadow in any color or combination of colors you like. I showed above the Naked Basics pallet, which is a group of nude eye shadows that just so happen to be my favorite.
After you are happy with your lids, many girls like to add a bit of gel, liquid or pencil liner; which ever you prefer; to top it all off. Personally I prefer the gel liner, its smooth and creamy and comes with its own small brush for applying.
After all those steps are done you finish it off by curling your eyelashes and adding mascara! Now once again, there are many type of mascara's out there; for length, thickness, a combination of the two. So just find the one that fits your lashes best and go with it.
And you can't forget your tools to help you finish off this look. Every girl needs brushes and an eye lash curler.
Now picking brushes is tricky and can be a bit of a hassle but try out some inexpensive ones first and work your way up to the higher end ones. You wont regret having a few of the same type of brushes trust me.
And for your eye lash curler, once again, try a couple out, always start with the inexpensive ones and then work your way up if you need to.
So this is the list of what I personally think is a Makeup Starter Kit for any girl. When it comes to finding makeup that best suits you, you have to face one thing; its going to be a little difficult but worth it in the end. Any girl can tell you that in order to find the right shade and type of makeup for you is to do research and try them all out.
So have fun with it and let me know what is in your makeup starter kit! Comment bellow for any comments, ideas for future post or questions you may have!

GYM TIME!!!
Now I know everyone put as there New Years Resolution to work out more right? Well, then we realize we don't have anything to work out in so we put it off till we purchase something and then we never end up going. So my solution to that was to go out and buy what I needed. That way I wont have an excuse as to why I cant go.
So in this post I am going to show you guys what i wear to the gym and where i got them
In this outfit i am wearing a sports bra and leggings from Walmart. The sports bra was inexpensive, 10.00 for 2 bra's,but I cant remember the price for the leggings. I am also wearing a simple spaghetti strap shirt from Wet Seal, they always have deals on there basic tops, 5 for 20.00! My shoes are an old pair of Pumas that I cant remember the price for or where I got them. And for the sweater, any sports sweater will do, plus I am wearing my iPhone arm band, it was a gift for Christmas this year. Thanks! You know who you are.
So, you don't need fancy workout clothes to be able to work out! The only item I had to purchase recently was the sports bra! So go through you'r closet and find comfortable clothes that allow you to breath and move around freely!
Show me your workout gear for a chance to be featured in one of my blogs next week along with what you guys do at the gym? What is your favorite machine? A Treadmill, a Bycicle, or something else? Email me at angiexoxo1993@yahoo.com
