Life Update

Hey everyone! 

I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but my life has been really hectic lately, 

and I haven't truly had the chance to sit and even put a thought into making a post. 

But I'm hoping now that I've gotten used to the speed my life is going at I can find 

the time to sit down a write a good blogpost. Not one that I just one because I hadn't done one in some time.

So the real reason for this post is, what has Megan been up to? 

Actually a lot really, since my last post I have completed high school, well at least my victory lap. 

I applied for university and actually got early acceptance into the school I was aiming for. After, 

completing my semester of high school, I got offered a full-time position at my job, so I've

been putting my energy all into working very hard to keep my boss and co-worker happy. 

I've also taken this time to really spend time with my family and friends, my boyfriend is still in school and is back every two weeks on the weekend, so I spend most of my weekend glued to him. As well

as spending as much time as I can with my bestie before I go away to school. 

As for family, I've been spending lots of time with my mom at the gym getting into

a healthier lifestyle, as well as my sister. My mom and I actually just came back from a trip at the 

beginning of the month after spending a couple days with my sister in her town. 

We also took this opportunity to go visit my Nonno (Italian for "Grandpa"), who was 

recently hospitalized. 

So far I've had a lot of positives in my life and I'm finally thankful and comfortable with the way my life

is that the moment. That goes without saying that there were some negative bits, like drama with 

ex-friends and drama within my own family. But I try to look past these as they tend to cause

me to feel more down and even sick if I focus too much on them. 

Would you like to know another positive? 

I plan on returning to my blog most definitely I won't be blogging everyday, I definitely don't have time for that. But I am aiming for at least one blog post a week. I think that's manageable, as for ideas I plan

on doing a haul of things I've purchased, reviews, make-up tutorials and whatever else I feel. 

Sorry for the rambling post, I guess we all have to have one of the these. 

Ciao xoxo 

P.S. Remember to stay positive, there's always light in the darkest of places 

Boohoo Haul

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since my last post but I really wanted to share this recent purchase. My mother had come across this site and said the prices were amazing and so were the clothes, so I had a little look and immediately fell in love with the clothes and ordered some pieces.

The website was; http://www.boohoo.com/

It's a U.K based store but the best part is that it ships to the United States and Canada (yay!) which I find hard to find, most U.K based stores that I like only ship to the U.S :( 

My whole order came up to $64.00 (Canadian) originally 80.00 but there was 20% that day (bonus!)

-http://www.boohoo.com/day-skirts/jessica-skater-skirt/invt/azz53419
- http://www.boohoo.com/trousers/amerie-high-shine-high-waisted-disco-pants/invt/azz62425

The skater skirt was $24.00, the crop top was $12.00, the "Geek" jumper was $24.00 and the black disco pants were $20.00 (: I ordered them on the 29th of January and then arrived this Monday, which was really quick for free shipping. Oh! For Canadian orders if you spend $25 on the site you get free shipping which is amazing as most sites are $50 and higher. 

Now the subject of clothes they are so well made and great quality, I am beyond impressed with this order, and next pay-check I'm definitely ordering some more clothes. Quick note though the clothing sizes are in  U.K sizes so be sure to check on the conversion chart to figure out your actual size. Especially if your ordering from a different country, I nearly bought clothes in a size 2 (definitely not that petite). 

The site is definitely checking out, I think you`ll love in just as I have, good-bye Forever21 and hello Boohoo!!

My Everyday Make-up Routine

I thought I would do another blog post as my e-learning course website is on the fritz again. 

And sadly, I can't access any of my work so this is still productive, I guess. 

So in the end, I thought I would show you my everyday make-up routine. 

It's pretty simple, as I don't wear much just enough to make me look awake, cover up blemishes. I only tend to wear more make-up on special occasions or if I'm feeling daring.  

List of items below; 

*Left to Right*

Summer fruit EOS lip balm

Rimmel "Stay Matte" pressed powder

Benefit "Dallas" blush

Rimmel "Exaggerate" black liner

NYC lipstick "Mahongany"

Rimmel "Clean Finish" foundation 

Maybelline "Fit Me" concealer

Essence eyebrow pencil - brown hair

Benefit "they're Real!" mascara 

Ignore the goofy face still getting used to the camra, lord I need help. By the way, my eyebrow pencil does match my hair colour but for some reason the lighting has made them a light brown. 

Anyway, I know this routine isn't anything special but I thought I would share, as I myself enjoy reading these blog posts. Feel free to leave a comment below letting me know what other posts you would like to see.

Review: Benefit "they're Real!" mascara

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are looking forward to 2013 like I am,

fresh starts and resolutions, mine being eating healthier and doing more blog posts. :) 

Starting off the New Year I thought I would do a review of a mascara I've been trying out. 

That being the Benefit "they're Real!" mascara

I have always heard amazing reviews about Benefit products, and I already own the 

Dallas blush which is an amazing colour. So this one has been on my wish list for months! 

Luckily, for Christmas my mom bought it for me (yay!) 

Its a plastic bristle brush, which isn't my ideal kind of mascara wand, but what can you do it works just the same. Something I find most fascinating about this product is the wand has a round edge

that are coated in bristles. This literally grabs the smaller lashes in the inner corner of your eye 

making your eyes look either fuller, personally. I know I have had a few experiences with trying to coat these inner lashes and ending up poking my eye (ouch!). 

The product says that the mascara will length but more importantly gives your eyes a fuller lash and   

gives the "fake lash" effect. I agree with this 100%, I have been using this product for about three weeks now and I no longer have to use an eyelash curler before applying. No more painful accidents (!) 

*Disclaimer* pardon the unruly eyebrows and lack of blemish covering up

Before: 

After: 

All in all, this has definitely become my new found mascara and I definitely can see

myself repurchasing this in the future. Benefit "they're Real!" costed my mom $29.00 dollars (Canadian) and was purchased at Shopper's Drug Mart. This would be £17.99 in the UK, and $29.83 in the United States. Yes, I'm that much of a goof I did the currency.

Hello There (:

I know it's been awhile since I last sat down a made a blog post. I have been 

so unbelievably busy with school, work and just general life. I sadly suffer from high 

social anxiety and in the last year I haven't really been out and about that much. 

So this last couple months I have been trying to get out and over come my bad anxiety

episodes. Plus it's FALL!! One of my most favourite seasons along side winter (: 

So I have been enjoying the Halloween specials and making myself some apple cider. 

And more importantly COMFY SWEATERS!! I have been really into the whole black leggings, knitted jumpers, and riding boots (: 

Hopefully, I will have more time spring up in my busy schedule and be able to do more of 

these blog posts. I also wanted to quickly mention, that my birthday was a last month on September 23rd, and for my 18th birthday I got what I always wanted....

JEFFERY CAMPBELL LITAS!!! 

They are hands down the most amazing shoes I have ever owned in my entire life. I have been drooling over these for about a year now. Every time someone has a haul video on Youtube with these shoes I turn green with envy! But no more! I now own a pair and people can drool over them now. (Review and post will be coming soon) 

Hope your all having an amazing fall experience and hopefully a good Halloween. 

Ciao xoxo. 

A Bit Under The Weather

source weheartit.com 

Hey everyone! You may have noticed that I haven't been present on my blog in sometime, well I'm here to let you know why! For starters, around the first week of September right before school I went to emerge because my whole left side of my face swelled up. Turns out I got cellulitis, which basically an infection of the sinuses because of this I actually missed the first day of school :O I know, I'm a terrible student not to mention it was an amazing way to start the year off (NOT!). 

After that, I was good for about a week and was back at school catching up on homework, let me tell you I missed quite a bit in the first week. Definitely was wishing I didn't get sick and went back to school! Well after that it went all down hill from there let me tell you, my wonderful and loving boyfriend gave me the flu! Oh yes! THE FLU!! So I've been feeling under the weather and really haven't had the energy to get up and create a blog, sorry :( 

I will not be able to blogs like everyday as I'm still catching up with missed work and doing assignments that I've already gotten (yep, my teacher are definitely nice people). Oh! By the way, I got a new camera so when I do reviews they will be in amazing HD! Woot Woot!!!

Ciao xo. 

OOTD: Professional Work Attire

Yesterday I put together an outfit that I was pretty proud of, I have been really loving the collared shirt look for this summer and pairing them with various skirts I have. Yesterday I had to run around town doing errands with my boyfriend as school is starting for me next week, plus after that I had to go to work and didn't feel like between then having to change into work appropriate attire. I definitely feel like my style is very girly, and it's definitely noticeable in this outfit, now I'll stop rambling on and show you what I wore. 

On face:
~Revlon ColorStay in Nude
~Hard Candy Glamoflauge
~Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara
~Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Black/Brown
~NYC Sunny Bronzer
~NYC Blush in West Side Wine 

As for my hair; I just curled it with a 2" inch curling iron, that fell to look like this (note: these were taken around 7 pm after a long day). Today I didn't feel like styling my bangs so I did a middle parting and pinned back my bangs (: I think it turned really lovely for errands and work! 

The collar shirt (creme) is from Winner's and it was $16.99, the skirt (tan) is from Forever21 (the belt came with the skirt) and it was $12.99 ( I think), and my purse was from Suzie Sheer and I got that on sale for $10.00 (bargain!!!). Finally my shoes are from Payless Shoe Store and there black swede affect and they were around 25 dollars I think.  

I know it's hard to see but the nail polish I'm wearing (navy blue) is L'Oreal in Jet Set to Paris. As for accessories I'm wearing sparkly bow earrings that I got at Forever21 in a set, and the ring is the one that my boyfriend bought me for our 1 year anniversary. (:
