Costume Review!

Hey peeps,

So I have another costume to share with you. This one is an angel fairy costume. I got it  off of costumes4less.com It was a very good price and this costume is not too skimpy or sexy. Here's the picture in the catalog:



I would show you guys the pictures of me in it but1) It's a little too revealing than I would like to share on the internet and 2) my camera  is broken.
Here is my honest review:

In the catalog, you can see that the fabric appears to be thick enough to cover you up; not the case. The fabric is very white, not pink like  in the picture and it's completely see through. Next, as you can see it's a single strap. When I put the dress on, the strap looked very awkward and it just didn't fall like it does in the picture. The wings are a bit uncomfortable but my favorite part is the bottom. It has a under dress that goes diagonal as you can  see and the little frilly thing is very pretty. I am not going to wear this costume this year, but I will save it for next year or let a friend wear it. It looks great on the model but not the same on me. Check out their website costumes4less.com  for great, affordable costumes.

First day of School

Hey peeps,

So I know I haven't been posting lately, but my computer is under sonstruction right now so the internet is off and I just got a new phone and I just started school today so things have been a little crazy. But don't worry, I'll have a tutorial up soon from my list. Speaking of school, I'll just tell you guys about my first day. So I only know one person there and my phone has been broken so I haven't been able to text him or anything, but I saw him in the beginning of school which was good. The school is really confusing with the hallways, so I needed help finding my first class. My first period on blue days is chemistry. I meta couple people and we played the corny "get to know you" games. i'm not used to the block schedule, but each class is an hour and a half long which is bad because I hate sitting in a chair that long. Anyway, then a girl I met helped me find my next class, but in the hallway I saw my one friend again and I told his stupid self to meet me there for lunch, I'll get back to that. Then my next class was English and I met like four people and they're pretty cool I guess. I wish I would've met some cuter guys yah know what I mean, but that didn't happen. So then, I had 3rd period off and my one friend didn't meet me at the place I told him to, so I went to lunch by myself. :( Every High school girls' worst nightmare. But i walking to qudoba and my mom drove past me and honked so I just got in the car and went home for lunch. And since I have 3rd period off, I get all three lunches. So I was home in the middle of the day, then I went back to school for 4th period which was torture because the teacher just talked for half an hour, then we had an hour to do nothing! It SUCKED! Thankfully, I found my sister and we rode the bus home. *sigh* Whata day Whata day!! It wasn't horrible, but it was pretty bad. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. :( Anyway, that's just a little update. I'll see you guys later
Love,

Back to School Time!

Hey ladies,
So I just got back from registering for school. Ah I'm so nervous! I had to stand in line for a few hours, then build my schedule. This will be my sophmore year and I know one person but my phone broke and I haven't been able to talk to him. I thought I saw him today but I don't know if it was him lol. I got my planner and ID and I'm so excited! My mom is also going to be giving me, my sister, and my brother our child support in cash so I'll use that buy my phone first, then pay my bill and pay for a bus pass. Me and my sis will be riding the bus to school. It's just easier that way. Well anyways, my phone has been disconnected thats why I haven't been doing videos lately. I'm so nervous for school!! Still need to find a first day outfit. Well that's just a little update so stay beautiful!

Egyptian Costume Review!

Hey gals, I finally received my order from costumesupercenter.com. There are so many teen costumes at this site which I love! I got an egytptian princess costume which seems to be the rave nowadays. Here's what it looks like on the web:

Here's it on me:

 and 


When I put it on, it's a little tight on the waist and hips. It's a little more loose in the bust, on the side you can see my bra. The whole costume comes with the dress, two armbands, and the head band. It's a very pretty white dress with a thin white veil in the front. It's not as loose as in the picture at the bottom but it's very comfortable to wear. It doesn't come with the shoes, but you can buy them seperatly. I also have the perfect eyes that go with the outfit, here's that link: http://sydneykins.blogspot.com/2010/08/look-of-day-egyptian-halloween-inspired.html. Anyways, the arm bands are gold, obviously, and they're pretty flexible which I love. I really like the armbands because it's another touch to the outfit, since it is just white. It's a little bit see-through so I would wear some nude underpants hehe. As for the bra situation, I would also wear a neutral color. Recently, my sister discovered these tape on bras.It's a strapless bra, but on the sides, it's some sticky stuff that stick to your skin and you can't  even see it. For the shoes, I would definitely wear some similar to the ones in the model picture. The dress is nice and snug so I think for trick or treat purposes, you'll be just fine. I'm not sure about other girls, but I probably won't ever stop trick or treating! The costume doesn't exactly have that shorter in the front look to it on me. Inall, the costume is great and I woulddefinetley wear it for Halloween or I would gladly lend it to a friend. If you have any questions at all, go ahead and leave a comment or send me a message on my youtube account. Thanks so much to my sponsers at costumesupercenter.com. There are so many costumes at that site like girls costumes  for the little ones!

Look of the Day- Egyptian Halloween Inspired

Hey girls,
So, as you know, I will be receiving packages of Halloween Costumes, so I thought I should make a video on the looks to go with that costume. The first costume I'll be getting is an Egyptian costume. I saw a look from xteener last year and also from fafinettex3 for like an Arabian, cut creased look. I really liked it and I was going to be this last year but I was Little Red Riding Hood. Also, around Halloween time, I might have a sale for all my old and new costumes that I'll probably never use again. (: Well anyways, here's the final look:

Products used:

  • Gold cream shadow all over the lid, lower lash line and brow
  • Gold e/s on top of that cream shadow
  • e.l.f cream shadow in black licorice to cut the crease
  • Black e/s from Jane. pallet to set the cream shadow
  • Black Liquid liner on the upper lash line
  • Black e/l on the water line
  • Shimmery white on the inner tear ducts and space in between the two wings
  • Mascara or falsies to finish
Here's the official video:


I hope you guys enjoy this and I'll keep you posted on more Halloween inspired looks!

Love,

Golden Coral

Hey chicas,
So me and my family were going out for something to eat today. We were going to go to Country Buffet but the lunch time was over, so we were going to go to a resturant called Pho [pronounced Fuh.] Pho is vietnamese soup, and probably the best food on the face of the Earth! But anyway, we decided to go to the Golden Coral, which is just another type of buffet joint. For $60 for 6 people, it wasn't worth that. We could've paid half that price at Pho. The food was good and everything but it was just...different I guess. Would I ever volunteer to go there again? Most likely not. So that's just a little update on whats been going on today(: I hope you guys are all having a great day and stay posted!
Love,
Sydney
