Hey guys sorry I haven't posted in a while but here we go. Today I'm gonna give you guys some tips on covering your scars and acne. First off always use a primer, it will help adhere the makeup to your skin and to make sure it covers everything up. Don't use the same concealer you use to cover your under eye circles and normally that should be a shade lighter than your skin to brighten it and if you put a lighter shade on your pimple, it will only enhance it rather than conceal it. Set it with powder to ensure it will last all day long. And if it is really red, before using your concealer, use a green color corrector and it will immediately get rid of the redness and hide all those pesky little pimples :) Have fun and stay beautiful!!

Hey guys, Val here. I know it has been a hot minute since we have posted. Sorryyyy. AP Euro has consumed whatever social life I had previously to the start of this year. I'm not complaining but I do have more work to do than last year and on top of that I have to write articles for my school's journalism website and such. It's been a busy start and I am trying to hold onto this account and I promise we will still be posting, just not as frequently. Thankssss(: Always, Val

Hey, it's Zars! The show I'm talking about today is, The Vampire Diaries! The show revolves around a non-vampire girl named Elena (Nina Dobrev). She meets the famous Salvatore brothers, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder). Problems come their way that leave you thinking about what will happen in the next episode. And, for those people who love to watch the whole love triangle problem to occur, I highly recommend it for you. ;) Overall, the show is premiering their final season this fall which I'm very upset about, but all good things must come to an end. Thanks for reading!

Getting Over A Breakup

Hey guys, it’s Val. I know that Rae had a post similar to this one, but I wanted to focus more on ways to mending your corazon if you will. So here goes! (p.s. I am in no way a pro at this and maybe these will work for you, they worked for me but I also have only been the person who got dumped once so they haven’t really gotten the chance to be tested but if you are a good, kind person please read and you never know maybe they’ll work for you) Ok so FIRST get rid of EVERYTHING that has anything to do with them. Get it out of your sight. Don’t leave it somewhere where you’ll be able to see it and get hit by a truck of nostalgia mk? Mk. I’m not saying throw it away either bc those things can mark precious memories that one day won’t hurt like they do right now. Just store it away or ask someone to hold onto it for you, or if you really hate there guts, get rid of that shiznet. SECOND delete their number, unfollow them on social media, and just rid yourself of any possible run-ins because we both know it would hurt like a mf to be scrollin’ through your feed and see a picture of your ex and their brand new “toy”. One day, when you are no longer hung up on them you can add them back again and what not. Just not now. THIRD you need to try to find new people. Move on. You are soooo much better than them. You can do betterrrr. Look for other people. Talk to other people. It’s time to move on. You can do it! And FOURTH, stop thinking about the past. It’s gone. Don’t blame yourself for the breakup and just be happy. If they didn’t need you, then you sure as hell don’t need them. You are strong and you will power through. Always, Val.

Hey guys! I wanna announce that it’s exactly 2 months to the new season premiere of Jane The Virgin! If you haven’t watched this show, you’re missing out! The story revolves around Jane who is in her 20s and is saving herself for marriage. She accidentally gets artificially inseminated and gets pregnant! I know, it’s crazy! Along with the pregnancy, she is stuck in a love triangle between two very cute guys {in my opinion ;)} Drama, romance, and comedy all packed in this one show! Over all, I love this show and I hope you guys start watching it as well! Thanks for reading!

P.S. To any of you Jane the Virgin watchers, do you think Michael will live?

Hey guys sorry for the late post but here it is. All I have for you guys today is a quick foundation tip. The way I find is best to apply it is to first apply it with a brush and go over it with a damp sponge. It will pick up any excess product and leave your face looking natural and flawless. Sorry again for the late and short post but stay beautiful my friends 😘

**My edit of Negan**

To any TWD fans– I’ve been really anticipating the premiere that is to come in October. The season finale left me with only my thoughts and rumors that had been started amongst other fans who were left with curiosity and worry. Who was taken out by Negan? I have tried to break it down myself but haven’t decided what to think … we’ll just have to wait and see. What are your thoughts? Who do you think Negan’s victim was? -Val

“You work on commission right? Big, big mistake.” - Julia Roberts 🛍 The movie I have chosen to talk about today is Pretty Woman! A classic, romantic movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. The plot of this movie is show how meeting that right person in your life can change everything. I highly recommend this movie and I think it’s one of the best movies ever made {in my opinion ;)} If you’re the type of person who loves “happily ever after” endings, then this movie is for you! To the people who have not watched this movie, watch it! Thanks for reading! :)

Hey guys today's post is gonna be a quicky we're gonna talk about ways to enhance your makeup. If you don't have a setting spray, you're missing out. Setting spray does it all, when you spray your face when you're done with your makeup, not only does it lock in your makeup and ensure that it stays on all day long, it will give you a perfect dewy look. My favorite is Mac fix plus, I like to spray my brush and use sparkly shadows with it and it amplifies my eyeshadow like crazy. You can also spray a small brush and make eyeliner with it. If you don't have fix plus, no worries!!! You can always use eye drops! That's right eye drops they will do the same effect to your shadow. Well that's it guys! Have fun and stay beautiful 😊

Am I Capable of Loving?

Ah yes. Most of us teens have heard the “You’re too young to know what love is.” sentence at one time or another. And I know that every time I did it absolutely pissed me off. How could another human being tell me what I felt? How could they possibly know the intense feelings I had for him? I know, I know. I am still young. But to me age is nothing but a number that indicates how long you’ve lived on this Earth as you are right now. How could it possibly influence who I am? There are 30 year olds who still live at home and don’t do anything for themselves acting equivalent to the boys I go to school with. And then there are younger people who are out there chasing dreams and making something of themselves. So how could people say that I am too young to love? Does the “skill” love come at a certain age? Because really I’d like to hear the other end of this … or is it just adults looking out for me so that I don’t go and have sex and end up with a child at this age (which I am not shaming–simply looking for an explanation behind this ridiculous claim.) Whatever the reason may be, I do not believe that this is true. I haven’t experienced a true and deep love yet because the opportunity just hasn’t come up. But I know that I am capable of doing so and I don’t think anybody else should or even could tell the next person what emotions they thought I could display. Just a rant. Thanks for reading(: Always, Val

Hey, It's Zars. The movie I'm talking about today is Me Before You. I watched this movie with Val and Nicole actually who you are familiar with. I loved the actors/actresses (especially Sam Clafin 😍). Over a million box office tickets were sold opening weekend! Ed Sheeran's famous song Photograph was also featured. I highly recommend this movie, just don't forget a tissue box because to be honest, I cried. Overall, I fell in love with this movie and I'm willing to watch it over and over again. I hope you guys watch it too if you haven't. Thanks for reading! :)

Hey guys it's Nicole I'm back with another on point look. Today I'm gonna tell you about my personal specialty... Getting your winged eyeliner on point. No matter the eyeliner you prefer to use I have the same method for all. Start off by using small strokes in the center of your eye and work out towards the end. Then when you reach the end of your eye go up and towards the end of your eyebrow and when you reach the desired length go from the end of the line you drew and go all the way down to meet the inner corner of your eye. Then if you have any blank spots, fill them in. Now your eyes are slaying the game. Show off and stay beautiful guys 😘

Breakups

Hey guys, I know it's pretty late for me here but there was just one thing that keeps on lingering in my mind and it's also I something I want to talk to you guys about. Breakups. Breakups can be a really nasty thing and you might not be able to get over that person for what seems to be like ages no matter how hard you try. Dealing with it can seem quite difficult and sometimes even impossible. When someone makes such a big impact on your life and you've been together with them for a very long time (or very short depending on your experience with them), it can come to you as quite a shock when the act of breaking up is mentioned. It's really hard separating from someone who you've considered not only to be your best friend, but also your partner and at times it's just really hard to let them go from your heart, especially when that person was someone who you've trusted and found yourself to be truly happy with. All I wanna say is it had to have happened for a reason, and if it's meant to be that way, there's nothing you can really do to stop it or change it. It might seem like your world is ending and that you won't be able to move on, but you will no matter how long it takes in the end. I know you'll probably end up going through lots of heartache, sadness, anger, and confusion, but just try and look on the positive side of things and try and be happy with what you have now. Besides, if you two are truly meant to be, you'll be together again. Just look up, smile and treat that breakup as experience and learn from it. If you have any questions or just wanna talk, feel free to talk to me or ask me a question at any time. (: ~ Rae

Forrest Gump 🌳

Hey there, it’s Zars. My next movie is, Forrest Gump! A classic, drama and comedy film that everybody loves which was directed by Robert Zemeckis. The movie is two hours and twenty-five minutes long and it got a 8.8/10 rating on IMDb along with a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. The main focus of this film is about a slow-witted Forrest Gump who is portrayed by Tom Hanks. This film shows you all of the endeavors that he has accomplished (with the support of his mother who is portrayed by Sally Field). Forrest Gump meets people along his road of achievements as well. He meets Jenny who he has always loved, and so does she. But, every romance has a few bumps in the road. (Don't wanna give spoilers!) Along with meeting Jenny, he meets Lieutenant Dan (Gary Sinise) and Benjamin Buford - "Bubba" (Mykelti Williamson) in his journey of being in the army that resides in Vietnam. Forrest also becomes a famous football star due to his ability to run as fast as he can, and becomes an owner of a famous shrimp boat due to his promise to Bubba. All of these journeys that Forrest takes, yet the one thing he most cares about is his childhood love, Jenny, who I mentioned up there^. Overall, Forrest inspired whoever was around him. I loved this movie very much and I believe that it teaches you that you were born to stand out. Before I close my post, I'll leave you with Forrest's famous quote from the movie, "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

Hey guys so being as though we're in the middle of summer I thought I should talk about how to do a warm, dewy, summery look. First things first prime your skin. If you want to even apply foundation (its not necessary) try to go for a dewy one, it'll make the look more goddes-like. Do your normal concealing routine and cover any blemishes. Now comes the fun part, get a fluffy brush and a warm bronzer and start goin ham. Find the hollows of your cheekbones and start applying there first. Then go up to the temples and move up to your forehead. If you have a big forehead you can move the bronzer pretty far down, it will minimize the look of it. If you have a small forehead, try not to go too crazy. If you want you can also bronze the jaw line and go down to the neck. Next take your hilighter and put it on the tops of your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, on the inner corners of your eyes, and a tiny bit on the forehead and chin. Make sure you glow to the gods. For the eyes I like to keep it simple, you want you're skin to be the main attraction. Add a tiny bit of that bronzer you used for your face into the cease and some mascara, you can add eyeliner if you'd like. For the lips, you can either go with a warm nude or a fiery red, I think the red compliments the look perfectly. Last but not least spray your face with a setting spray, I recommend Mac fix plus spray, if you've never tried it, get it that stuff is amazing. Now you're ready to go out and be that gorgeous summer goddes you worked so hard to be. Have fun and stay beautiful everyone 😘
