Product Review: Revlon Lash Potion Mascara

Hello Beautifuls!! It's time for another review and today I will be talking about the very popular mascara: Lash Potion by Revlon! So many youtube gurus have this and show it in every video. So I decided I wanted to give it a shot and see for myself what all the hype was about!

To see how the mascara works watch my video down below as I give you an in depth view of all of it's wonders. I'll give you the pros and cons about this mascara and also if I like it or not. 

Have you tried this mascara? Let me know in the comments below!

NOTW: Solemate

Hello loves! So today I'm going to share with you guys what was on my nails for my trip to New York! I think I say this everytime but since I wasn't able to post while I was away I'll be bringing out a lot of content from the past few weeks. 

So today I'll show you my nails! I decided to go for something dark and sultry so I wore Solemate by Essie. It is a beautiful burgundy color much darker than you'd think. I do have to admit that it is very similar to Wicked (also by Essie). Either way I love this color/shade and it lasted the entire time I was in New York! I think it started chipping while I was on the plane. 

What are your favorite nail polish colors for the winter?

Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale) Makeup Tutorial!

Hello beautiful! Today I have the long awaited for  celebrity makeup tutorial! A while ago I posted a photo on instagram asking which celebrity would you like me to recreate and the main choice was Lucy Hale or better known as Aria Montgomery from Pretty Little Liars. I absolutely love Aria and always find her makeup to be flawless. In this tutorial I'll show you how to recreate the look she is wearing in the picture below. I want to point out that I did my foundation and concealer before hand.

THE GRAMMYS! 2014

Okay, Okay, Okay, this has to be hands down my favorite award show EVER! Not only is it because the house is filled with hundreds of amazing artists but because my favorite artists performed!! 

Fun. (or technically Nate Ruess) performed side-by-side with Pink and man, oh man, were they perfection! I am counting down the days when fun. has another concert tour!

He looked amazing in a burgundy suit, leather shoes, and his recently grown mustache! Never thought I'd say that but can we just stop for one second and appreciate the glory of this human being. Yes, take one moment to gaze upon holiness. 

My Trip To New York! (Vlog)

So this is my first every vlog and I am so happy that I'm starting it off with my trip to New York. When I found out I was going I immedietly started planning my outfits, the places to visit, and where to eat. I love the city that never sleeps! I hope that one day I will be able to live there. But for now, I am content with visiting. So I tried to film as much as possible and obviously skipped all the boring parts lol. 

In this video I'll take you on my journey through New York. We'll visit monumental places like the Met, Central Park, Rockefeller, and Grand Central Terminal. 

I do have to apoligize because I don't have any video of the Met Opera House (it's on my phone and for some reason I can't seem to connect my phone to this stone age laptop). But! I will make up for that lost footage with photos. So here are some of my favorite moments that just so happen to be captured.

Enjoy and let me know if you've ever been to New York!?

Packing For New York! *Winter Trip* + OOTW

Hello my lovelies!! So today I have a new video for you guys and this time I am deviating a bit from my usual talk about makeup. Today I want to talk about fashion, more specifically the kind you bring with you on a trip. True, this is a bit late because I went to New York back in December 2013 but I still thought this post would be very useful for anyone going to a cold place. 

I will show you what I'm bringing with me and how I plan to make my outfits a bit more colorful and interesting. I wish I had taken more pictures of the clothes but it totally slipped my mind. So once again I am so sorry for the lack of photos! I hope my video makes up for it. Enjoy!

Best Dressed at the SAG Awards Red Carpet 2014!

Hello my loves! So last night wat the Screen Actors Guild Award show! If you guys didn't watch it then here are my favorite gowns from the red carpet and one of my not so favorite. 

To be honest I expected more from this award show. Well, I expect every award show to jaw-dropping with a line of gorgeous gowns and celebrities walking down the red carpet. But as I watched the show go on I was a bit disappointed with the dress choices. In the entire bunch of beautiful celebrites there were only a few (four this time) that I liked the best. Here we go:

Rita Wilson
How amazing does she look in this floor length, silver sequin gown! I love the black stripe on the side which makes it very modern and doesn't let the sequins swallow her up!
I love how it is a simple cut but very elegant at the same time.
I've read that a lot of people began to compare it with the gown Sofia Vergara wore but if you keep reading you'll see how different these two are.

So we decided to do a hair and makeup tutorial on Ariana Grande. Abbey will be doing a hair tutorial (I will post the video down below so you guys can watch it in this same page). I will be doing the makeup tutorial!

Beauty and Shoe Haul 3!

Hello loves! So today I am going to share with you guys my third beauty and since I bought a bunch of shoes over the past few weeks I decided to throw those in there too. I hope you guys like the video! 

As you know I came back from New York a week ago but have been so swamped with my spring semester starting and the hectic trip home (because of a snow storm and all) that I really didn't have time to do any videos. I also have been talking to some other youtubers and we have been discussing to do some collaberations together! (Expect that very soon loves!) 

So I know you guys can definetly relate when I say life is crazy! I wish I could just go back to my vacation and chill and take pictures for my blog. But I can't! Girl gotta work unfortunetly, lol. 

Without further a do here is my first video of the year and (surprise, surprise) it's a haul! I just can't control myself around makeup! Besides I really want to expand my collection and youtube is such a good excuse to do exactly that, hehe. Enjoy the video!

Color Of The Year 2014: Radiant Orchid

Hello my dears! Today I want to talk about the Color of the YEar! This year is the year of Radiant Orchid. Boy am I over-joyed to hear it! You may be wondering: What color is Radiant Orchid? Well, below I have posted some pictures that hopefuly will help you have a clearer picture of the color of the year. Who chooses these colors anyways? Does anyone know? This year it is the beautiful, soft lavender color of Radiant Orchid. 

Do you know how exciting this is? Just last year I was hoping that Lavender would be the next color of the year and I even made a video of how it was one of my trends (watch here). 

So this is very, very exciting for me! Now I think I'm going to paint my room this color. Or maybe just a wall. It's so gorgeous! Look at all the inspirational pictures I found. Enjoy!

-TheFashionQueen

Do you like this color? Do you not? Let me know in the comments below!

Does anyone know what lip/shadow pencil that is??

I can tell you the nail polish is Deborah Lippmann: Between The Sheets (I think)

The lip gloss on the bottom left is from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. (Haven't found the shade yet)

Gorgeous purple drinks for the summer

Aren't these Geodes amazing! I want all of them!

Wow! This is fantastic for an outdoor wedding

NOTW: Alpine White & Cherry Fashion Rings

Hello beauties! Today I wont be posting a video since I still need to finish editing before uploading. I'm really sorry about that. But I have a nail post for you guys. I am so obsessed with this color it's not even funny. Last week I wore Alpine Snow by OPI on my nails.  It is a gorgeous, crisp white shade that literally resembles snow. You all know I am an Essie fan for life but I sometimes venture out and try different brands. So I wanted to give this polish a go and it truly blew my mind. It's amazing the opaqueness of this color. It lasted such a long time without any chips! (Unfortunetly I some how got pen marks on my nails by the end of the week. How'd that happen? I have no idea lol). 

But, I thought this was a perfect color for December and wanted to show you guys how they look. (I told you white nail polish would be on my winter essentials list. Watch the video here).

Now let's talk about these gorgeous midi-rings! White and gold = Perfection! Even more so that the gold rings are midi-rings. My friend Nia, from Style Of Colours, was asking for some bloggers to review her new jewelry line: Cherry Fashion. (Def go check out her online shop! It is amazing and her jewelry is so chic!) She offered to let me review three of the midi-rings of my choice. Two are being featured here today. The ones I'm wearing are the chevron midi-rings!! I am in love with them! The gold color is amazing and the size is perfect! Though it is adjustable. I am completly impressed with the quality of these rings. I am also so very, very thankful to Nia for being so patient with me as the first package she sent out got lost! But thankfully the second one arrived safely. 

Thank you so much Nia! I love my new midi-rings!

***Winter Fashion 2013/14***

Last summer all the designers showed off their Fall/Winter collections. Some of them had more than one trend in common. Today I am going to talk about the Winter Trends for 2013/14 since winter doesn't end till March I believe. I hope it helps you girls while you're out shopping or getting dressed in the morning. I know I will be trying to incorporate some of these trends as much as I can this season.

Today we'll talk about five of my favorite trends.

All White Everything: White is the epitomy of class. It's clean, sacred, and ultra chic. Worn the right way and you can rock this trend. So many celebrities have worn this trend (Kim K, Vanessa Hudgens, Emma Stone, Mila Kunis, and Camilla Belle). It has become a favorite this year. It's simple and classy and easy to style. My favorite out of these three is the skirt and long sweater shirt combo. Perfect! 

Over the Knee Boots: These are everywhere this season! From the runway to the streets, every woman has them. They are trendy and keep your legs warm in a skirt or dress. They are perfect for a flat boot or one with a heel. I've seen so many cute pairs in store (Steven Madden, Michael Kors, Cole Haan). 

Leather: I mentioned this trend in my Fall Fashion trend post and I will mention them again. Leather (especially leather leggings) have been huge all year around! They are edgy, chic, and so easy to style! You seriously dont need much to complete the outfit. Notice how all these lovely ladies are wearing super chic heels. I think this makes the leggings a lot classier and dressed up. I absolutely love this trend!

 Red: This is new to me, but it's incredible to see so much red on the runway. This vibrant color is perfect to brighten up any dark outfit. Whether you're wearing it under your coat or it's your coat itself you'll definetly turn heads. 

Oversized Outerwear: Can you believe this is a trend? I had no idea until I started looking. Oversized coats are in this season (especially in any color but black!) My favorite coat is the Balenciaga grey coat and the Chloe dusty pink bomber jacket. They are so cute! I actually need a new coat and, come to think of it, oversized coats aren't as bad as you think. You wont feel as restrianed and suffocated in your coat. Instead, feel free to layer your cute jackets underneath! It will actually be possible with these bigger coats. 

*None of these Pictures are Mine!*

Well, there you have it. The 5 trends I think will rule the streets this year.

BCA: Week 4: My Favorite Eye & Misc Products!

The Beauty Crown Awards are a yearly favorites collaborative effort including beauty bloggers around the globe. The Beauty Crown Awards were created by Lily from Beauty with Lily Liz from My Pretty Obsessions, Jackie from Five Two Certified, and Shalunya from Shalunya & Boyet. We felt that a collaborative effort from a large number of beauty bloggers would be much more interesting to our readers and would garner more attention. The Beauty Crown Awards are a 5 week event with each week covering types of products.

Week 1 - Personal Care Products - Dec 2 - Dec 8, 2013

Week 2 - Facial Products - Dec 9 - Dec 15, 2013

Week 3 - Lip & Nail Products - Dec 16 - Dec 22, 2013

Week 4 - Eye & Misc Products - Dec 23 - Dec 29, 2013

Week 5 - Facial Care Products & Tools - Dec 30 - Jan 4, 2014

Week 4 of the Beauty Crown Awards covers Eye & Misc Products. Below are my Week 4 selections:

*None Of These Pictures Are Mine*

EYES

Primer: I've tried a lot of primers in the past two/three years. But my favorite is the MAC paint pots. They don't move, crease, or make your lids oily. They hold the shadows and last all night long! I love using Painterly as a base or by it's self. I'll need to get a new one because the one I have has already run out!

Pressed Shadows: I want to say MAC but some may just roll their eyes. I'm sorry! But I must speak the truth. Their pressed shadows are amazing! They are super pigmented and last such a long time. No major fall out and such a wide variety of shades to choose from.

Pigments: I am currently loving Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics' pigments. They are incredible!

Sephora now carries their Lip Tars (which I recommend). I get so emotional seeing this brand grow and make it big. I remember when they were so unknown!

Mascara: Ugh, what a toughy! I am stuck between my always trusty Maybelline Full N' Soft mascara and my new favorite Revlon Lash Potion. Both do an amazing job and have their own unique qualities. Full N' Soft is perfect for an effortless, natural makeup look. Lash Potion is the one you want to grab when you're heading out to a party. It will give you long, thick lashes.

Eyeliner: I've got two (I'm such an indecisive person). For liquid liner I reach for my Stila all day waterproof liquid liner for a perfect winged liner. When I want a pencil liner I get my Maybelline Define-A-Line waterproof pencil.

Cream Shadows: I have a small palette of cream shadows from Revlon that are amazing! They are shimmers and range from cream colors to brown/bronze shades. I love that with just a swipe you can blend it effortlessly on to your lid and you're done!

Palette: I would have to say my Stila palette (don't ask me the name cause I have no idea!). It is amazing how pigmented the shadows are. The palette is a trio ranging from very light beige, a a soft brown, and a reddish sparkly brown. I love them so much and use them often in the winter time.

*No Picture Available sorry*

Brow Kit: I don't use a brow kit as my brows are super thick. But when I do I use the Milani brow kit that comes with a little brush and tweezers. It also has two shadows to fill in your brows and a highlighter.

MISC

Beauty Magazine: To be honest I don't know any beauty magazines! (Omg this is embarrasing lol). My favorite magazine to read, that has beauty related articles, is Glamour. It's perfect for me as it gives me an insigt view on celebrity fashion, but it also shows me the trends for next season.

Beauty Subscription: I really wish I had a beauty subscription right now lol. But I guess I will tell you which one I would want. I think it's between Ipsy and Glambox. I don't know, I've heard great )and bad) things about both. But I'm intrigued by both so it's a tie!

Beauty Product from Subscription: Well, can't really comment can I?

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Did you participate too?

BCA: Week 2: My Favorite Face Products!

Hello beauties! It's week 2 of the Beauty Crown Awards! To upload your own post click here.

This week we are talking about our favorite face products! I have quite a few and will just start raving about them now haha. Hope you like the post!

Week 1 - Personal Care Products - Dec 2 - Dec 8, 2013

Week 2 - Facial Products - Dec 9 - Dec 15, 2013

Week 3 - Lip & Nail Products - Dec 16 - Dec 22, 2013

Week 4 - Eye & Misc Products - Dec 23 - Dec 29, 2013

Week 5 - Facial Care Products & Tools - Dec 30 - Jan 4, 2014

Week 2 of the Beauty Crown Awards covers Face Products. Below are my Week 2 selections:

FACE

Primer: My favorite primer would have to be the Covergirl & Olay primer (even though it says it's for age prevention, you can never start too young!) It is a perfect primer that doesn't leave your face oily and holds your foundation in place. Love the lightness of this product!

BB Cream: The BB Cream I am currently using is from Maybelline. As much as I want to believe it evens out my skin, it does not. Sad, I know. But I like to wear it as an every day face product as it is super light on my face and it has SPF 30. It truly doesn't feel like a sunscreen because it is lighter and has just a tiny bit of coverage to cover up my dark circles. (But it doesn't banish them from existence lol). I need to try a few more BB creams before I settle down on my favorite but I did want to let you guys know my thoughts on the one I've been using.

Foundation: Last month I review the Revlon Colorstay Foundation for dry skin. Now that I've been using it non-stop I can tell you it is one of my favorite foundations!! I absolutely love this foundation as it doesn't show my dry areas and it actually hydrates my skin. It covers all the imperfections even though it's not full coverage. And because of that it doesn't feel cakey or heavy on my face. Omg! You have no idea how happy I am with it. This product also has SPF 15.

Powder: For powder I am currently using Revlon photoready powder. I think it does a fine job and keeps my face perfectly matte and set. I do have to admit that if I put too much it will make me look dusty. The pesky peach fuzz on my face makes powders look very noticeable! So I literally only swipe it on my face once. This product also has SPF 14.

Concealer: You girls have heard me talk about this product over and over again. But when you find something that becomes a miracle worker you can't stop talking about it! Like I've mentioned, I suffer from dry skin especially under my eyes. That are gets so dry for some reason and no matter how much water I drink or how much moisturizer I put it's not the best place to put on makeup. It's the hardest! So when I tried the NARS concealer in its liquid form in #1 I was in love!! Not only was it full coverage it was so light that it didn't feel like anything was on me. Plus it doesn't settle into all the annoying creveces on my skin. I recommend this 100%!!

Brightener: I've been using the maybelline Lumi brightner and love it!! I use it something on my cheek bones and under my eyes to highlight those areas. It is so amazing and it's easy to put on. With it's brush applicator it is an easy way to place the product where you want it.

Blush: I absolutely love Fleur Power by MAC I think it's amazing and it suits so many different skin shades. I love using it some times as just a bronzer since it has a golden undertone to it. I also love to use it by itself as it is beautiful on its own.

Bronzer: My favorite right now has been the MAC Minerilized bronzer in Give Me Sun. That is amazing and so fluffy (for lack of a better word to describe it's consistency). I love how easy it is to apply to the face and since it is so pigmented you really don't need that much. I love using it to give me a sun-kissed glow around my face. It's much more natural to my matte bronzer from MAC.

Highlighter: I recently purchased the MAC Mineralize SkinFinish in light. That thing is amazing to highlight and brighten. Since I haven't used it as much as I would have liked I can only tell you that so far I love it!

Palette: Oh man, tough one because I don't own any palettes!! Yes I know shocker. I bought the Naked 2 not too long ago (you'll see in my Beauty Haul coming out on Wednesday) but I can't tell you what I think of it just yet.

Participating in the Beauty Crown Awards this week?
