allie goes blonde (updated)

11:36 AM

SO, as some of you may know i wanted to dye my hair blonde. Well it didn't really work out for me. Yesterday i went to my salon and somehow my stylist and I were on the wrong page, i now look like a crazy skunk. I showed her images of Behati Prinsloo and some photos from Instagram for inspiration but alas i do not look akin to those. What she did is only dye the top layer of hair and left my bangs and bottom half completely alone, meaning brown ( its not a good look). Today I'm going back in to get my hair redone and will hopefully be a full fledged member of the blonde squad by the end of the day. here are some photos of my hair for your amusement. I will update this post later when my hair is done.

UPDATE!

THE REVISION WAS SUCCESSFUL!

yesterday at 5:30 I went back to my salon to fix the travesty that was my hair, and now i can truthfully profess that i am in fact a full fledged member of the blonde squad! Now here are some photos of my hair!

i took these on Photo Booth so i couldn't resist using a filter/image distorter

:-)

i am very happy with my hair now

Last year for spring break, my best friend and i went to Southern California for a week. This year I stayed at home :/ but it hasn't been entirely lackluster, I have taken photos of some of my best friends, got my second Instagram account up and running, and went on a mini road trip. Here are my photos. (in no particular order)

everyday makeup routine // spring 2015

10:02 AM

hello my lovelies, so today I'm going to run you through my everyday (ish) makeup routine. its simple, easy, and makes me feel a little bit more confident. so this is what I do.

I start out with a good primer, this one by too faced makes my face feel super soft and helps my makeup last almost all day. I also have sensitive skin and this one doesn't agitate it!

Next I move on to foundation. I have recently started using this one from NARS that has a super natural appearance and is super lightweight. (i use shade #2 mont blanc)

the next step is usually blush or bronzer, I rarely use both. the bronzer i use is by Benefit, and my blush changes from day to day and I don't really have a preference, i kinda use whichever one is closest to me.

Eyebrows come next, and this is where i spend the most time in my routine. I use the too faced brow envy kit to fill in the sparse areas and define the shape.

for eyeliner i use this one from NYX it is very opaque and has a brush applicator so getting a sharp wing is easily achieved. And for mascara i really do not have a preference, as long as its black and doesn't burn my eyes i'll use it. (I'm currently using the IT cosmetics tight line mascara)

And for my lips i usually just stick to lip balm (rosebud salve is what i usually reach for)

The past few months have been really great. I have been fortunate enough to get to hangout with some pretty rad people and do some pretty fun stuff. this is the stuff we did.

a few days later Lele and i split a chai and mini doughnuts at Pips Original

and a couple of days after that my friends and I threw Lele a surprise belated birthday party

we got Mexican food and sat in a tea shop. It was really fun.

a few days after that Lily, Jade, Hailee and i went to my favorite coffee shop and got almond croissants. they were phenomenal as per usual.

Lele and i also went to tea bar, our favorite spot ever.

then i had the bright idea to drive 50 minutes away to sauvies island. it was fun though, lots of good memories and photos were made / taken.

this is one of those photos.

two weekends ago Lele and i hung out with the cutest girls to ever exist ever and we love them. (Emily, Aisha, and Dharma)
