TV Tuesday:Pretty Little Liars Finale

I do not own the rights to this photo!

Today marks the end of Pretty Little Liars... until the premiere of season for June 11th that is.

The following is my reactions to the episode, be warned, it contains spoilers!!!


  • Spencer's out of Radley! Yay! 
  • But she's acting a little more meh than usual, boo!
  • I love Hannah, she's hilarious! "Whats the difference between a crumpet and an English muffin?" lol
  • Well, Spencer's acting creepy... Oh yeah! She's a part of the A team, yikes! 
  • Aww, poor Ezra! Aria is totally icing him out!
  • JENNA IS BACK! OMG, what?!?! "The police have evidence?" What is that about? And what is that text about?! Who sent it? 
  • Hannah + Ezra scene is priceless! (No shennanigans, other than her lying about babysitting Malcom)
  • Jenna and Shana? What? Are they together or just friends? And whats going on Friday? Are they a part of the A team too?
  • Ezria  is breaking my heart! I totally get Aria's reasoning but, BOO
  • TOBY'S ALIVE!!! I knew it, I knew it I knew it! *fist pump*
  • Hmm.. is he just telling Spencer what she wants to hear?/ The writers telling the VIEWERS what they want to hear? I'm so conflicted!! 
  • Welp, Mona didn't kidnap the kid! 
  • So, whats the deal with Jenna and Shana and Melissa?!?! Is the A team bigger than we thought or are they forming their own alliance?
  • I love the way the Liars figured out Spencer was a part of the A team and confronted her! "Spencer's on the A Team, game over." 
  • It's so weird they take orders from someone they don't know who it is! 
  • Mona gets trapped! hahahahahaha sucka! 
  • Uhoh... fire! I don't get why she set the fire just to drag them all out?
  • She framed Toby! Ugh... 
  • Who is Red Coat? The Liars think Ali... and I do too! 
  • Mona a victim? This will be fun..
  • WHAT the heck is in that trunk?! I hate we have to wait until June to find out!
What did you guys think of the finale? Did  you have the same reactions I did? 

Come back tomorrow for Wear it Wednesday!

Make Up Monday: Luck of the Irish

Hello Beauties,

As you know, this weekend was St. Patrick's Day. In honor of that, I did a Luck of the Irish St. Patty's day look. Now, I know St. Patrick's Day is over, but I think this look is really wearable. I noticed it really opened up my eyes so I would suggest this for people with hazel, brown and green eyes. But, of course, any eye color will do! :)

I know the screenshot doesn't look appealing but, I promise the rest of the video is fine! Follow me on YouTube! I'm continuing to get better! Practice makes perfect, right? I would love it if you would share with me what you wore for your St. Patty's day celebrations!

Stay Beautiful,
Kailey

P.s. Comeback tomorrow for TV Tuesday!

Scene It Saturday: Oz the Great and Powerful

Last night my hot date took me to go see Oz The Great and Powerful and, since this is Scene It Saturday  I thought I would do a little mini review on it. 

First of, I'd like to point out that this is the story of Oz and it has nothing to do with Dorthy. It's basically a prequel to the Wizard of Oz that we know and love. I was hoping for a little bit more deviation in terms of characterization but their wasn't much. The beginning of the movie and trip in to Oz is very reminiscent of the classic film, and it does give it a nice nostalgic touch. Once we get to Oz the visuals are stunning. You can even tell from the poster that the graphics are over the top and larger than life. Very aesthetically pleasing, both with the visuals and the music which was done by Danny Elfman. Elfman did a great job at highlighting the story but not overpowering it. The costumes were magnificent as well. 
The acting and characterization, however, left a lot to be desired. The acting was good, not great. I felt like I got better acting out of the digitally animated characters than the on screen actors. With the exception of Mila Kunis. Yes, there was a lot of characterization that I think was missed in the screenwriting but her acting was amazing *spoiler* if it truly is her after the "transformation". I think it is... I can't find another name on IMDB.  
Overall, I think what the movie lacked in story line/story telling, characterization and acting it made up for in stunning visual effects, musical score and animated characters/voice actors. It's a great feel good family friendly movie. If you have kids and/or want a light comedy with some moral goodness attached to it, I'd say go for it. 
Final Verdict: 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Fit Friday: My Workout Plan

So, since I'm getting married in 2 months, 15 days, 15 hours and 15 minutes, I have precious little time to look good naked. I want to look HOT for my honeymoon, not just good, but drop dead, could be mistaken for a Victoria's Secret   swimsuit model. So, since I've been kind of eh about my diet and exercise these past couple of months, its time to get my booty in gear and get moving! I'm focusing mainly on my core. I want to get toned and improve flexibility.
Here's my current plan:
Monday: Zumba 
Tuesday: Yoga 
Wednesday: Swing Dancing or Pilates 
Thursday: Pilates 
Friday: Pilates or P90x with my fiance (Trying to get out of this, lol) 
Saturday and Sunday: Rest 
This is just what works with my schedule and I think its a pretty good regime. I know that all I did last semester was Swing dance for a couple hours twice a week and that helped my legs, butt and core stay tight so, I'm sure doing Zumba, Swing dancing plus yoga and Pilates will work well for what I need. I may also try to get a little more cardio in if I'm not seeing results. It doesn't seem like much but Yoga and Pilates get pretty intense. I'm doing intermediate level work outs to challenge myself. I'd like to let you guys know that for yoga I'm using this fabulous website called doyogawithme.com . There is a great selection of yoga videos in every time length, purpose and level of difficulty. I'm not getting paid to promote them, I just found them on pinterest and am wildly impressed. 

Every Friday I will have a post about getting fit! Could be anything, like... an update, tips on what has helped me, healthy recipes, etc.

Come Back tomorrow for Scene It Saturday! 

Stay Beautiful,

Top 10 Contemporary Songs for Valentines Day




Need something to listen to while you're getting ready for your date? Or need something to listen to to set the mood tomorrow? Or just want to listen to a bunch of really awesome songs? Here is a list of my Top 10 Contemporary Songs for Valentine's Day! (Tomorrow!) I'm trying my best to stay away from super obvious ones but some are just too darn good (hence #2)!

10. Valentine's Day: Kina Grannis - Just to put you in the Valentine's Day spirit! Sure to warm your sweeties heart (and yours!)

9. The Best Thing- Relient K - This is a cute song, and a cute video. I would say someone in any relationship could find something to relate to in this song!

8. Oh, Love!- William Beckett - I don't know if you all know this about me, but I love William Beckett (as an artist of course) and I've been to 2 of his concerts. This song is sort of pessimistic but, still lovely! It's all about what he would do for her because he loves her! (and it's upbeat, yay!)



7. As Long As You're Mine- Wicked - This one goes out to my fellow musical lovers! I just love the passion in this song! YOLO at it's finest ;) (*Bonus Song*: Gimme Gimme from Thoroughly Modern Mille) This may be cheating because this is the LEAST recent (I think) but, its worth it!

6. Only You- Joshua Radin- Nice chill and relaxing, but still cute!


5. Fishes- Storm Circus - I know I've put this video on here before, but this song goes out to all the single guys and gals out there on Valentine's Day! Don't loose hope, they're out there waiting for you!

4. You Always Make Me Smile- Kyle Andrews - This is guaranteed to make you smile, the video will too but it really has nothing to do with the song!

3. Good Morning Beautiful (Featuring Jim Brickman)- Luck McMaster - This song is just so so CUTE! And nothing like the country song by the same name. Listen and see if you're not bobbing your head along by the end!

2. I Won't Give Up- Jason Mraz - I can't express how well this relates to my relationship. I'm sure it relates to a lot of other peoples too! Love!


1. Fade Into You- Nashville Cast (Clare Bowen and Sam Palladio) - I have been playing this non-stop since I first heard it! So amazingly good, even if you don't like country music, just give it a listen and see what you think!



Give them a listen and let me know what you think! :) I hope you have a great Valentine's Day with or without a significant other!

Who's the Fairest of them All?

So, I was catching up on Once Upon a Time and while watching the scene pictured below I was mezmerized by the Evil Queen's make up. So, I decided to make a tutorial for a more wearable version :) 





I used color 9(Light purple) as a base, color 7 over it and on crease, and color 1 as a highlight.

I mixed the black and white for the crease. 
I used lipclick in color Gem for lips and mixed two blushes for the cheeks. 
and as pictured above I used red lipstick and an eyeliner brush for the red liner. 
My Foundation is get a tint tinted moisturizer in light/medium .

Let me know if you like this kind of tutorial better or if you want to see videos!
Who's your favorite Once Upon a Time character? Do you want to see more Once Upon a Time inspired looks? 
Comment below!
Stay Beautiful,

Lets get started!

First, the outfit!
This top:
Bold Ambitions Top $19.99(Originally $28)

Paired with this jacket:  
A Little Bit of Edge Jacket $49.99 (Originally $75)

with Skinny Jeans (sorry! None on sale at mark!) and these fabulous babies:

Now Its time for the make-up! 

Face:

Prime your face first with this!

Need A Shrink? Pore Minimizer Lotion $4.99 (Originally $8)


 Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation $14 


Eyes:

I-Mark Metallic Custom Pick Eye Shadow $6 each. For this look I would use Lava and Moonshine. 


No Place to Run Longwear Eyeliner $9 For this look I would use Jet Set. 


Cheeks:

Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint $8. For this look I would use Cheeky.

Juice Gems $7.50. For this look I would use Juicy Papaya. 

annnd last, but certainly not least: 

Hair!

Personally, I would straighten my hair but give it volume by using the shaping wax and kind of pushing my hair up at the crown. Then I would flip to the other side and use the solid gloss to give my hair shine and smooth away fly-aways. 

I hope you liked this "complete look". Let me know if you want more of these and/or if you would like to see tutorials on youtube...!
