Artfully Aware

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a little while, I've been settling into adult life *cries internally* I figured I'd start off the beauty section of my blog with a post about my favorite makeup products thus far. 

 Here's a swatch of the Milani Teddy Bare Lipstick.

Here's swatches of the Sephora Blush Duo. 

I love love love everything shown and these are the main products I use every day. The Soft Matte Lip Creams smell so good, and they don't dry out your lips at all; the same goes for the Milani lipstick. The blush gives me a really pretty natural glow, as well as the highlighter which adds a perfect finish to any look. The Better Than Sex Mascara is the only higher end mascara I would buy because it actually works as advertised. The Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade keeps my eyebrows on fleeeeeek at all times, and I highly recommend it. Completing any look with the setting spray is a must, because it keeps my skin looking flawless, and keeps my blush and highlight in place for most of the day.

I love finding new beauty products, so let me know what your favorites are below! And if you buy any of the things I mention, happy splurging!  (●´ω｀●)

Hello everyone! So last week I went with my family to celebrate my little sister's fourteenth birthday at Serendipity, upon her request. I was excited because every time I hear Serendipity I think amazing dessert. 

As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted wall to wall with novelty items, similar to stores like Spencer's or Dylan's Candy Bar. 

Walking into the restaurant section, the room is filled with Tiffany lampshades, and fun house mirrors on the wall along with a hanging disco ball; very whimsical and amusing. 

My dad ordered this orange cream drink, which he thought would come in a regular glass come to find out it was huge!

 The appetizers were really really good, but maybe I'm biased because I'm a sucker for apps. We ordered their wings and potato skins.

When it came time to order I got the 'Young Chicken Sandwich' (open faced), my dad got 'The Catcher In The Rye, and my mom and sister both ordered the 'Shake, Batter & Bowl'. My dad & I agreed that our sandwiches were just okay, but my mom and sister were very pleased with their chicken which was the upside. 

For dessert, they ordered Serendipity's well known 'Frrrozen Hot Chocolate' and my dad & I shared the 'Strawberry Fields Sundae'. 

Personally I liked the dessert way more than my entree, but at least now I can cross Serendipity off the list of places to eat in the city. If you've been here let me know what you think! (◕‿◕✿)

Last night was one of the best nights of my entire life. I love going to concerts because they feel so unreal. I've been listening to One Direction since they started five years ago, and say what you want BUT they are amazing. Even though they've gone through a lot this year, including losing Zayn, they still managed to pull off a great show with just the four of them. Harry is my absolute favorite, but all four of the boys made me lose my mind last night (in a good way)! They sang all my favorite songs and honestly it was really emotional. They even sang their new single 'Drag Me Down' which sounds perfect live by the way. This was the first time I saw them live and I loved every second of the experience. Here's some pictures from the concert, and a couple videos from the show. If you're not a One Direction fan, you should be! And if you are one, I hope you got a chance to see them on tour and enjoy looking at some of my pictures.  Here they are:

Enjoy! xo
