I enjoy switching up my make up now and again so I am about to tell you just what I have been loving to wear/ what are staples in my makeup bag.
1. I'll start with what goes under all my makeup. Since I have dry skin I need a really rich moisturizers and that is where First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream come in for the win. I cannot rave about this stuff enough. It is so stinking good and moisturizing. It gives my face life and makes it look and feel so soft. If you have dry skin you must look into this product!
2. My all time favorite under eye concealer is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Treatment Concealer. Oh it's just so good and gets the job done. It's super thin while still giving good coverage and it doesn't settle into fine lines like other under eye concealers tend to do. Go get you some!
3. One of my favorite eyeshadow primers to use is the Urban Decay Primer Potion, just the original one. It works very well and makes my eyeshadow vibrant and stay in place, plus I think it neutralizes the color of my eyelids.
4. I have two very favorite eyeshadow palettes that I use every time I wear makeup the first one is another product from Urban Decay, The original naked palette. I'm sure everyone and their mother has heard of this palette. It is just plain great, enough said.
5. And my second favorite is the Lorac Pro palette. It is equally as beautiful as the naked palette but in my opinion more versatile because of the equal amounts of matte and shimmer shades all in totally wearable colors. It is the perfect traveling palette, you can do easy day looks and sultry night looks with it.
6. This one is an old favorite, NYC sunny bronzer. I love this bronzer for my fair skin. It is a matte bronzer which I like, and it warms up my face and makes me not look dead! Another plus is that it's drugstore and super cheap!
7. My favorite blush to go to when my skin is looking a little dull and needs some life brought back to it is the Milani baked blush in Luminoso. It is a super pretty peachy color with a light golden sheen. I have to be careful not to be too heavy handed with this blush because it is quite pigmented and I am quite pale.
8. Last but not least is my go to lip color. I have really been experiment with my lip color lately but I always go back to the Revlon lip butter in pink truffle. It is a pinky brown neutral color that is so perfect for me. It is the best everyday lip color option that I have found.
Oh my goodness it has been ages since I have had the urge to hop on and write something. What can I say, I'm a busy gal. It has been close to two years since my last post so I'll give a little update on my life. I am very much still in school, it is my final semester as an undergrad and I will be starting graduate school in the fall (fingers crossed!), I have been dating the most amazing man for the past two years that I plan on marrying after the hopeful graduation from grad school.
Me and my Love!
So let's just say that time to blog has been sparse. I was just sitting on my bed this evening and thinking, this is my last semester and it's a pretty easy one, maybe I should start blogging before all the madness of grad school begins. So people I am back and I am going to be trying my hardest to give some love to this little neglected blog of mine.
So today is just your typical Wednesday for me math at 9 english at 11 so on and so forth. It has been getting chilly around here lately so I have been looking for more ways to be comfy but also cute and stylish. I think my outfit for today has accomplished both.
A big sweater, scarf, leggings, and boots combine nicely to walk around campus in. I know what you are thinking, "leggings as pants? gross, what is that girl thinking?". I said that to before I tried it if you have the legs to pull them off I say go for it but make sure your top or sweater in my case is long enough to cover at least part of your bum. By the way leggings as pants are quite popular at least where I go to school.
Where I got everything:
Sweater - I raided my dad's closet
Leggings - Wal-mart
Boots - Shoe Carnival
Scarf - Target
Ring - my grandmother's
Earrings - my mother's pearls
Also I have wearing a makeup look for the past few days that I am digging. Not to fussy but still nice looking.

-Eyeliner - Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the color Bourbon
-Mascara - Maybelline Falsies

Hey guys I'm sorry for the lack of "good" post. I have been swamped with school, life, and other equally fun and stressful things. So this post will be just another random ramblings post.
I seriously can not wait for Christmas to roll around. It is my favorite holiday/time of year. I love Christmas music, cold weather and apple cider, but most of all I love getting all bundled up. Of course I keep it classy and wear tasteful appropriate for winter and cute clothes. Although I have been known to go to my Monday morning 9 o'clock class in sweat pants and uggs (sorry). But later on I will be doing a current favorites and a What I'm wearing this winter typed post.
So Halloween is tomorrow and I am so excited! For the costume ball my school puts on for homecoming week my friends and I went as taco bell sauce packets. We DIYed our costumes out of oversized mens t-shirts and white duct tape. Lets just say it was more than we bargained for when it came to creating them. I'm still not sure if I am going to any parties tomorrow night or not because I have a test on Thursday but I'll just have to see how that pans out.
Thanks for reading and leave a comment down bellow say what you are going as for Halloween!
Today marks the release of Taylor Swift's new album Red, and make no mistake I bought that cd as soon as I could get my hands on it. I just wanted to share some of my favorite songs for the album so far.
I Knew You Were Trouble
Red
Treacherous
And of course, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
These are just my favorites at the moment I'm sure I'll enjoy other more just depending on the mood I'm in. Please enjoy!
Yep that's right midterms suck. They made me stress like no other. One night I thought I was going to die because I had an essay due and a math exam all on the next day. Luckily though I made it through with five As and one B! I did it y'all I made it more than halfway through my first semester of college and I have great grades. I attribute this fact to having to learn to study my junior and senior years of high school. So remember studying really pays off.
I haven't done a current loves in quite some time. So without further ado my current loves for September.
1. This is my most obvious choice because it the number one thing I am addicted, obsessed, practically in love with and that would be Diet Coke
This stuff is legit crack to me. I know it isn't the healthiest but well frankly, like any druggy, I don't care.
2. The best invention of all time- The Keurig
Words can not describe how great this thing is in the mornings. It saves me trips and dollars from going to Starbucks every morning (even though I would love to do that). I don't have to waste coffee by making a pot I can just push a button and get a nice sized, single cup of coffee.
3. EOS lip balm.
These little babies or eggs as call them save my lips. I use them all throughout the day. When winter comes I will probably have to stock up on more.
4. NYX Crimson Amulet Collection inspired by the movie Dark Shadows.
This palette has a nice range of colors and they are all pretty pigmented. I am not much on blush and lip palettes so that part of the collection never gets use, but if you are looking for a relatively cheap but nice array of colors and good quality eye shadows give this one a try.I got mine at Ulta but I couldn't find it on there website but I did find it on NYX's website.
Well that is it for this time I will be doing more Current Loves and more blog post in the very near future so stay tuned!
This is the tour of my dorm! I finally cleaned and now I am showing it to you. I was going to post a video of my room but that didn't work out to well. Also some additional info- I got a new email address it is listed in the about me section, feel free to email me! Or contact me on any of the other social network sites listed!. This is the hallway leading to my door.
This is Jasmine my roommate's dresser and tv also the end of her bed.
Jasmine's desk and bed which she happens to be lying on.
The food area! We have a mini fridge a microwave and a Keurig.
This the shower curtain and half of the shelf.
My bed and a weird maintenance door in the middle of it. I don't even know I can't open it and frankly I am to scared to.
My desk area and dresser. The four pictures hanging up there were actually drawn by my mother who is a wonderful artist.
The toliet portion of the bathroom and the cabinet that holds various things.
Me and the sink area. That white thing down there holds all our hair items.
The lovely view from the door and Jasmine on her bed.
This is the view of the entry way from the door and our closets. And that is all I got for this post sorry the layout was so strange. I don't even know what I am doing today.
Hey guys just a quick update I am on instagram (like everyone else is)! My user name is emilyhosler so go check me out and maybe follow or possibly like or comment.
Also I am eating pizza rolls right now in between class because I am quite poor and cannot afford real food. I could just go to the cafeteria but oh well.
I am going to stop typing now and review for my psychology class. And in a few days I will be posting dorm pictures but I have to clean first, so yeah.
So I am now back. I am in college and settled into my lovely dorm room. I'm having fun with friend! Studying my a** off (I have all As!) And generally enjoying life.
It is Monday night and I am in a bit of a lull. I was bored so I thought hey why not blog!? And blog I will. I will be using this blog post to update you with everything that is going on in my life currently.
1. Did I mention I am in college now? Well the school I go is the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM). I love it here I with insert a few pictures below of campus.
I love it here! The Bayou Desiard that runs right through campus is so pretty and nice to read by. Plus the fact that I live right on top of a Starbucks is a dream come true!
2. My dorm room is any old dark, dank, cinder block walled, cold and nightmarish place. It is really nice and open, I love it! Not to to mention the fact that my best friend is my roommate. I don't actually have any decent pictures of our room at this time but I will try t clean and take some good ones! I swear our dorm is cute. Until then I will post a picture of the view outside my window!
It is the lovely catholic church with the CCM right next to it. By the way that is a Jesus shrine.
3. When I get bored I like to do make up.
The first two are of course me and the last one is of my best friend/roommate.
4. You wanna know what my major is? I'm so glad you asked. I am a Speech Language Pathology major. don't know what that is her is a link to a really great explanation.
5. I have two favorite Youtubers I am basically obsessed with!
1) Landon Austin what can I say about Landon Austin. Well for one his voice is a gift from God, his vlogs are quirky and cute, and well he is just plain handsome. Did I mention he can sing.
2) Well she is exactly a real person but just a really funny alter ego. I am talking mirandasing08. Miranda is a lovely girl who truly believes she can sing and is famous. She does covers of popular song and of course she vlogs. I literally spent two whole days watching her covers and vlog videos. She keeps me laughing and helps me to remain sane with all the homework I should be doing.
I am really going to try to start blog once a week and keep everything up to date so stay tuned for more!
Hey ya'll I got a new laptop hip hip horray! That's irrelevant to this post though. I have started thinging about bringing back my youtube channel. If you don't know, which you which you probably don't, a couple years back me and my friends made vlogs in my spanish class. We haven't done a vlog together in quite some time so I have just been using it as my personal page. I just know started to want to do vlogs again. I am also thinging about doing reviews, rants, and a number of things. This revamping of my channel could be anything. Right know it is kind of well empty. If you were wanting to check it out any way here is the link - youtube.com/user/DoubleFeatherGang
I am going to college for the first time in the fall. So naturally I am a little excited. Me and one of my best friends will be rooming together and we non-stop talk about what our dorm will look like, what our color scheme will be, and what kind of shower curtain should we get. So I decided to do a little blog post on what I want my room to look like.
First of is bedding:
I love navy and I love white. My style is preppy with a bit of quirk too it so I think this works nicely. This duvet cover is from pbteen.com
I really love this color and pattern. It is girly without being overly girly. You can this duvet at urbanoutfitters.com
Decor is up next:
A cute framed intial out of buttons is right up my alley. I found this on pinterest. It is a DIY project.
I really love these three mustaches on canvas they just make me smile. Also a DIY project. All you need is three blank canvas and some mustache decals.
I love this it is so colorful at pretty. Yet another DIY project.
A Couple weeks ago I took my senior pictures. Ya know those pictures that go in you invites to graduation. Well I was so happy with them I decided to post a few. The girl that took my pictures is Carla Downs you can find her on facebook at Carla Downs Photography!
