WR: Violet's Facial Care Routine

Hey girls! Violet here! Today I am going to be sharing my facial care routine with you! I think that taking care of our skin is extremely important. The more we take care of our skin, the less makeup we use, and in turn, the better our skin will be. One thing I do suggest, is to talk to your dermatologist. Tell them the type of skin you have, and they will suggest vitamins you can take to improve it. Other than that you should wash and moisturizer your face every day and every night! This is important because during the night our face gets dirty from the grease in our hair, and during the day our face has makeup, and even if not the air our pores are exposed to can be dirty. These are the products I like to use. Please not that this is just what works for me, and the same products might not do the same thing for you. Also, that no matter what skin type you have it is always better to use more natural products with organic ingredients and no chemicals.

The first thing I do is remove all my makeup. What I've been liking to use is my Nutregena Makeup Removing Wipes. I have been liking these because they remove my makeup really quickly and easily.

Second, I wash my face with the Nutregena Naturals Pore Scrub. This really gets in and cleans my pores out which is essential when it comes to skin in general. Also, something like an exfoliant such as a pore scrub works really well for normal or dry skin. It gets of all the flakiness so that its easier for the moisturizer to work it's magic.

Next, is I use witch hazel. In my opinion, not enough people use this. Witch Hazel is sort of like a bioderma of sorts. It further cleanses your skin, and makes sure that there's absolutely no germs in your pores that will make you break out. Even if your skin is perfect, you still need to do this step. It will work wonders!

Lastly, I moisturize! The moisturizer I have been using is the Nutregena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Moisturizer. This is an amazing product because it really puts vitamins in to your skin which is very nice for the face.

Another thing I do is get facials every month where they take out all my pimples and blackheads, which is super healthy for your skin. Again, make sure to talk to your dermatologist, that is probably the best option. Also remember that even though you might have clear skin, washing, moisturizing, removing your makeup, and using witch hazel, are all till things you should be doing.

Thanks for reading!!

Xoxo,

Violet

Sleepover with Blind Makeovers(:

Hey girls! We haven't posted at all this week, so I thought I would share a few photos from a sleepover that we had a few weeks ago, with Tati and Adri. This was our sleepover(:

Being the crazy girls that we are, we decided to do blind makeovers. Let's just say this was a messy, hilarious! Here are some pics! 

So we started out looking normal....

Then the makeovers started. 

Tati thought that my eyebrows were my eyelashes! 

                                            I put concealer on Tati's lips, instead of lipstick.

                                                             Violet's puzzled look!

                                                 And we ended up looking quite scary....

FashionFriday! Everyday Winter Outfit

Hey Y'all! Once again, it's Nina! It's Fashion Friday! I will show you a quick outfit that you can wear any day! It will keep you warm during the cold winter weather. Enjoy!

Violet and I had a sleepover with our best friends Tati and Adri last Saturday and we went to the mall the next day, so this can be a cute outfit to wear to the mall, stylish shopping!(:

I wore blue jeans from Hollister, and a simple brown V-neck. I recently made an infinity scarf, which I'm wearing! I got new brown boots that are so cute~I love them.

This cute outfit is great for school, shopping or any winter activity! 

Love Y'all!

The Wednesday Review!~PYT straightener

Hey Y'all! I'm very excited about this post! Today's theme is The Wednesday Review, and we will be reviewing the PYT straightener! 

This product is absolutely amazing, I'm in love with it! I purchased this recently at a kiosk at my local mall for about $120. This may seem like a lot but it is originally over $200. Violet loves it too, she wants to steal mine now! 

The main reason I love this is because it doesn't damage your hair at all. It is full ceramic, meaning it doesn't burn or dry out your hair. My hair usually takes at least an hour to straighten but with this, it takes only half that time! 

*The only bad thing that I have noticed so far is that my hair becomes very static-y. Using Moroccan hair oil can help with that* 

Love Y'all! xoxo, Nina 

TutorialTuesday!~Fall Makeup

Hey Girls! It's Nina(: Today is Tutorial Tuesday and this is a autumn/winter eye makeup look that is very quick and simple. I hope you all enjoy! Please comment your feedback, it's greatly appreciated!

Step 1: Apply concealer underneath your eyes to cover up dark circles and you can also cover up any blemishes.

Step 2: Use an eyelid primer, to insure that your eyeshadow will stay.

Step 3: Apply a gold eye shadow to your lid. Use a lighter color in your inner corner to brighten up your eyes.

Step 4: In the crease of your eyelid, you can add a thin brown color, and blend that in well. 

Step 5: Curl your eyelashes and apply a mascara of your choice.

There you have it! A cozy looking eye makeup that is great for any look! Check back tomorrow for The Wednesday Review, on the PYT straightener! 

I LOVE YOU!

MM: Violet's Everyday Makeup Routine!

Hey Girls! Violet here! Long time no see! Since our last post, here at GirlyFab we have come up with a whole new schedule for our fabulous posts! Here's a quick breakdown:

Monday: MakeupMondays
Tuesday: Tutorial Tuesday
Wednesday: The Wednesday Review
Thursday: ThursDIY
Friday: FashionFridays

So since today is the first day of Makeup Mondays, we thought we would do an extra special post!
Without further ado, here is my everyday makeup routine! :-)

Step 1: Prime! 

I can not stress enough how important it is to prime your face before you put any foundation on! Primer is important because it will create a layer between your skin and other product, which will reduce the amount of pore enlargement! I use the Loreal Perfecting Base Primer because it has a mat finish and does some pre-concealing for me as well. 

Step 2: Foundation! 

Foundation is definately what I spend the most time on. When you have a well done face, everything else just falls in to place. I use the Covergirl Clean Foundation in the color Ivory. I find this foundation extremely moisturizing and build able. I like to blend my foundation in with a beauty blender (the pink thing). I got my blender on Amazon, but you can also find things like them at your local drugstore or other websites online. The reason I don't like using my hands for my foundation, is because it is pretty messy and I don't want to break out or irritate my skin. 

Step 3: Blush!

Blush is one of my favorite beauty products ever. It allows you to achieve a perfect rosy glow in a couple seconds! For my everyday look, I like using my Tarte blush in Adored that I got from Sephora. It is made out of Amazonian Clay so it stays on for an extremely long time. I love applying my blush with my Elf Studio Powder Brush that I got from Target for 3 bucks! Remember to stifle the blush onto your blush!

Step 4: Concealer! 

I don't know why I conceal after blush, but I always do for some reason! We all have our strange ways. ;-) Anyways, for concealer my favorite thing to use is my Shany Cosmetice Camouflage Concealer Palette that I picked up from Amazon for around 7 dollars. For under-eye circles I love the lilac color underneath my normal skin color concealer to help brighten it up. 

Step 5: Liner and Mascara!

Even though this is the last step, it definitely is very important! 

For the eyes, I love the smudgestick liners from Stila. Mine is in the color Trigger Fish and is waterproof which is great since I do ballet! If you have a lighter colored eye, I suggest a grey or lighter brown toned eye-liner. If you have a brown or darker colored eye, black or dark brown eye liner is better. The mascara I am currently loving is Maybeline MegaLash, because it works so amazingly at making my lashes very even and not chunky 

So that is it! This is the final product! This routine only takes my about 10 minutes every morning and is totally worth every second. I love how natural my face looks! These products will definitely leave you with an overall naturally effortless look! Enjoy! 

You are all beautiful

xoxo, 

Violet

EOS Lip Balm: Product Review!

Hey Girls! Violet here! Today I have a product review for you guys on the EOS organic lip balm. I had always heard beauty gurus raving about these products, but never actually came across them till a few weeks ago at Whole Foods. They were on sale, 3 for $10 I believe. My mum got them for us. My mum got the blue mint one for herself, the green honey suckle one for my sister, and I got the pink strawberry flavored one.
Recently they also came out with 3 new flavors inspired by Alice in Wonderland, and those are limited addition. Although I got mine at Whole Foods, you can find EOS at Wallgreens, Rite Aid, and other drugstores as well.
I find these little lip products super moisturizing and just all around usefull. One time my eyelids were burning after a reaction to something, so I rubbed some EOS on them, and they felt instantly better. They also smell very flavorful and pleasant, and don't have a bad taste to them. I really recommend these for yourself, or maybe even as stocking stuffers for family and friends.

Xoxo,
Violet

Nina's November OOTD

Hey Girls! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so glad that it's finally starting to feel like fall! I love the cold weather, warm fires and comfy sweaters! Today I felt especially cozy in this outfit. Hope you like it as much as I do. 

My outfit consisted of a cute 3/4 length shirt from Marshals. To keep me warm, I wore a brown vest from Old Navy with denim blue Levi jeans.  I wore my favorite boots with this look. To accessorize, I wore my pandora bracelet and pearl earrings. 

  For my makeup, it was a simple golden brown eyeshadow, from a Sephora palette. I also added mascara, with a bit of blush. I had straightened my hair earlier with my new PYT (Pretty Young Thing)  flat-iron. BTW~ it's amazing, defiantly a new favorite.

This outfit is cute and simple, great for fall weather. You can look great, even if you're feeling lazy or if  you're in a rush. 

Love you all! xoxo~Nina

Sally Hansen~French Manicure Kit

Hey Girls! Sorry for the few posts, Violet and I have been very busy with school, dance, & more! Here's a new product to try out!

This was my first time using this product but the result was amazing. It was also extremely simple. It comes with detailed instructions but I will try to sum it up for you all!

This kit comes with a nail pen, nail stickers, a base&top coat and a nail color. This color was "Ballet Barre". The first step is putting on the nail stickers, which helps with tracing a straight line for the white tips.

After the stickers, use the nail pen to paint the tips! Wait a few minutes for your nails to dry before removing the stickers. 

The last step is simple! Apply the pink nail color, one or two coats. Then apply a final top clear coat to seal off your new DIY French Manicure! 

This is a new favorite of mine, enjoy!

Election Day OOTD!

Hey girls! Violet here! So as you guys probably know, today was Election Day! I hope everyone who was of age were able to vote because I think that's super important! Anyways so I thought I would share what I wore today because it was super festive and fun! So for hair I had gotten it done at the salon today, but she used a ghd straightener which I by the way highly recommend! But besides that Ijust wore my hair down, and my makeup super simple with just some liquid black eye liner! The red was incorporated in to the outfit with this super cute hat from H&M, and the blue was incorporated by this long sleeve shirt from Free People which is super cute for the fall! Also, an optional step which I did was to add a black long sleeve under the FreePeople top, just because it adds extra warmth! For bottoms, I wore Forever21 skinny jeans which is of course a fall essential, as well as my ugg brand buckle boots which I live in! My favorite part of this outfit however are the bracelets! My mum and I each got one from Starbucks today because they were giving them away foe' free! She gave me hers, but they are basically a blue and red design with little 3d rectangular charms that say indivisible on one side and have stars on the other. I am so wearing these bracelets through out the year because they are so awesome!

Thanks for reading girls! And I'll tal to you next time!

Black and White Swan!

Hey everyone! Violet here! So for Halloween this year, Nina and I were the white and black swan from the movie The Black Swan, inspired by Swan Lake. Since for both of us this was our first year pretty much making our costumes on our own from scratch, I was to proud not to do a blog post on it.

Kitty Cat Halloween Costume DIY

Halloween is just days away! So if you are one of many who waits till the last minute, then we have the perfect solution for you! All you need is liquid eye liner and  gold sparkly eye shadow!

What we did was put black liquid eye liner as whiskers by making 3 stripes on each check, for a fur effect you can rub your eye shadow around them. Then, we made a triangle on the nose for a cat effect. For the eyes, we put the sparkly eye shadow up to the eye brows then created a winged out eye liner look. 

After that, you can add some ears and wear all black, maybe with a tail, and your done! Go and rock your look at a halloween party or have some fun trick-or-treating with friends!

Nina and Violet
