Wanna stamp your pictures with cupcakes and mustaches?

 I feel the same.  Two days ago I discovered FX Photo Editor for android, and I've been stamping my pictures with pink bows, flowers, and mustaches ever since.

It also has a lot of filters to make your pictures glow.

Oooh.  Warm and fuzzy.  It just needs a mustache.

Before.

Best of all it's free.  There is a pro version, but I honestly I think the free version gives you a surplus amount of options.

What are some awesome apps (photo editing or otherwise) that you've found for android?

I...

This summer has been an interesting one.

I studied in London.  I made new friends.  I reconnected with old ones.  I caught up on A Game of Thrones (just the HBO series, not yet on the books).  I finished The Hunger Games trilogy.  I landed my first internship.

With all that's happened, there is still a lot to be desired.  There is a lot that I feel I must prove to myself: prove that I am good enough to be what I want to be; prove that I am good enough to get where I want to go.  I want so much.  I want to be more positive.  I want good grades.  Shoot, I want to complete my Fruits Basket manga collection.

Transitions are a difficult thing.  They can be painful, but they are an opportunity to make your life better.

OOTD: Green Leopard

Hi everyone!  This is a quick outfit of the day.  Most of these items are thrifted or gifted.  Remember fashion doesn't have to empty your wallet!  Thrift stores are a great way to find affordable spring trends.

Instagram & Orange Makeup Look

I wanted to do a bright, orange makeup today since the weather has been incredibly beautiful in Seattle this week!  

When putting this look together, I pretty much followed Jen from From Head to Toe's tangerine look she recently posted on her YouTube channel.  I opted for a more pinky lip instead of the orange lip Jen uses.  Naturally, I used different products than she does.

Here is Jen's awesome tangerine makeup tutorial:

PRODUCTS I USED:

FACE

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation -- Nude

Revlon PhotoReady Concealer -- Light Medium

L'oreal True Match Powder -- W4 Natural Beige

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder -- Sunny

Peach Blush from a Sephora Pallet

EYES

Maybelline Color Tattoo -- Fierce & Tangy

Wet n Wild -- Flora pallet (matte orange shade)

Wet n Wild -- Vanity pallet (matte brown, bottom left shade)

Wet n Wild --  Greed pallet (light pinks, top left & middle right shades)

Milani Liguif'eye -- Black

Almay One Coat Get Up & Grow Mascara -- Blackest Black

LIPS

Wet n Wild Matte Lipstick -- 907C

I also started an Instagram profile, which I will use to post pictures of makeup looks, outfits of the day, and random beauty finds I find are interesting. :)

My username is shadyshine.

What's your opinion on orange makeup?  Also, what do you guys think of Instagram?  Love it?  Hate it?  Religiously use is?

Wet N Wild Haul! Limited Edition Flora/Fauna Spring Collection & More!

The other day I stopped by my local Bartell Drugs (the closet drug store to where I live) and I saw these limited edition Wet n Wild products: Flora Collection & Fauna Collection.  Needless to say I was excited by the colorful shades in each eyeshadow trio and pleasantly surprised by the number of items in the kit for only $4.99.

Here's a closer look (these pictures were taken on my phone):

Here's the back:

I also picked up the soon to be discontinued Coloricon Pallets: Lust, Pride, Vanity, and Greed.  In the past, I have tried the Greed and Vanity pallet and they are my go to pallets for a daily look.  Matte eyeshadows are something I am a big fan of so I thought it would be wise to purchase some more of these gems before they are gone.

Swatches, reviews, and makeup looks to come! :)

If you have picked up these limited edition collections, what do you think of them?  Are they worth the $4.99?  Also what are your favorite wet n wild products?

RAIN TO SHINE COMING SOON!
