The Summer of a Lifetime

The end of this school year was the most stressful time of my life! This semester I had six group projects. Yes, you read that correctly!

But….

This summer is going to be one for the books! I have so many plans for this summer.

As a part of of one of my classes, Global Advertising and Public Relations, I get to study abroad! This Thursday, I leave to go to Dublin and London. All semester, my amazing group and I worked on our website to compare the humor between America and Dublin/London. It was really fun!

For two weeks, I will have the opportunity to travel these two amazing cities, and visit some pretty well-known PR and Ad agencies. I am so excited!  Continue reading

Fall Makeup Look!

I Instagrammed this photo the other day and it seemed really popular! A lot of people asked me what products I used to make this look successful. I decided that this was probably going to be my staple makeup look! It is so perfect for the Fall. It’s warm and simple!

Let’s get started!  I am one of those weird people who does their Face makeup before my eye-makeup! I put the products in the order that I use them! I start with Benefit’s “Big Easy”, which is their version of a BB cream! It is my absolute FAVORITE items ever. I have oily skin and this BB cream does wonders for my skin. It dries with a powder finish. I use the color Medium, but now that we are moving closer to winter, I will be going down a shade to Light/Medium.

I do still use a powder after it though! I use Benefit’s “Hello Flawless” in the color Honey! It literally matches my skin tone perfectly!

Next, I continue to MAC’s paint pot, which is an eyeshadow primer. I use it in the color Painterly! One of the reasons that I love this primer so much is because I use this product for two things. In addition to using it as an eyeshadow primer, I use it as a concealer!

I then move on to contour my face! I use Benefit’s “Hoola” bronzer and The Balm’s highlighter “MaryLou”!

Who doesn’t love a cat-eye? I sure do love them! I do one probably 4 days out of the week! I love Stila’s liquid eyeliner and then I use a few coats of Revlon’s “Lash Express” mascara! If you need length, then this is the mascara for you! I have the volume… but I always need as much help as I can get with mascara!

And finally, I complete this look with Mary Kay’s “Mystic Plum” lipstick! HOLY CANNOLI, this is my favorite lipstick in the world. It completes almost every fall outfit that I wear!

I hope you all enjoyed this Fall Makeup look!

I was featured on Marley Lilly’s Instagram!

Today, I was so excited to look down on my phone and see that I was tagged in a photo by Marley Lilly ! I was so overwhelmed with joy! I personally love this photo. I think it’s because of a combination of this beautiful ring that I purchased from Marley Lilly about a month ago with my nails! I was so in love with the pineapple. In this photo it says that the photo only has 25 likes but, I just checked and it is now at over 3,600 likes! HOW EXCITING, RIGHT? 

I think this ring pairs perfectly with any outfit, dressy or casual! I get so many compliments on this ring. I am going to be purchasing one in silver too so I have one to match every outfit! If you’re interested in this specific ring style, it is called the “Taylor” ring. If anyone purchases this ring, please post it and tag me in it, whether it is on Instagram or Twitter, you can do both at @Danieminor13.  

I hope everyone is having a nice end to their summer and a smooth start to their school year! Check out this week’s Thrifty Thursday for a fun post on how I am thrifting items for my new apartment-style-dorm! 

XO,

Danie 🙂
