Hey Everybody! I havn’t been on my blog in so long, its not even funny. My knowledge of fashion and beauty has expanded so much since I’ve last posted and I can’t wait to post more on a regular basis! Hope you are all still interested in reading my posts. I found this awesome website that I’m obsessed with called Polyvore. You can make so many outfits and shar them with people. So you’ll definitly see some from me. Have a great Thanksgiving!
So not too long ago I posted my fashion farewell. But I have decided to continue doing my blog anyway because I actually enjoy it and its amazing that I’ve connected with other people from around the country who share the same passion. Now I”m excited! I can actually put more of MY pictures on here. Woohoo(:

To all my followers here on my blog, I thought I should inform you that I there will not be any more posts from Pretty Passions. For those who didn’t know, I took this blogging class in school and it is the end of the semester. I really enjoyed sharing my fashion and beauty tips and ideas with everyone and I also enjoyed reading yours. But don’t be sad! I also have a you-tube channel that I just started on beauty and fashion. So instead of blogging, I’ll be vlogging! Makeup and clothes and such will always be a big passion of mine and I don’t plan on letting it go anytime soon. I just have to let go of my blog. Maybe I will continue doing more posts in the future as I strive for college in the cosmetology field. Or even before then to tell you all about my journey Thank you so much for understanding and even reading my blog! It really means a lot to me. Take care!
With much love,

Tis the season! To get this week’s nails, all your going to need for colors are red and white. Santa hats! So the first step is to make the triangular shape of the red hat. Starting at the bottom corners of your nails and coming to a point in the middle ot a little bit past the middle. After that dries, take your white and make a little white dot of the pom pom on the top of the triangle and then little white puffs at the bottom for the fuzz. And done! Here is the finished look:
REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK ❤
I have been using a Revlon lipstick that I can’t leave at the house. It is always in my make up bag or in my purse. I have the color Primrose and it is a light shade of pink. It looks great when you’re wearing white, with darker eye make-up. Darker the eyes, lighter the lips. I usually add a layer of gloss on top of it to give it more of a shine. It lasts a pretty long time and the color comes out great. I like the way it goes with my complection. Here is a picture of the color I use:
This can be bought at any drug store or found online.

A late fall trend that I’ve noticed is leather jackets. I love leather jackets. They can be red, black, brown or tan and their adorable. Well most anyway. Leather Jackets almost give your that bad ass look without doing a single thing. They are also sexy or even cute. Usually colors are associated with the emotion. Black means tough, red means sexy and tan or brown is cute. You can match the jacket with boots, scarves or even jewelry. I am a personal fan of shorter leather jackets. I think they’re more trendy. Take a look(:
See what I’m saying? Add a cute tank top, skinny jeans, boots and jewelry or a scarf. Good to go!
You can get leather jackets at some department stores, places like Macy’s, Deb, JCPenny ect. Heres a place that has really cute ones.
For those who think that red lipstick is risky, I agree. However I also think it is a great risk to take. As long as you know how to wear it, then do it. Who knows how to wear it?
Taylor Swift
Red lipstick looks great with a very light color like that beige-oatmeal shade or white. Along with red, black, and the classic black and white stripes. Sometimes white and grey but it really depends on the outfit. Blonde hair, blue eyes and red lips. Stunning. But the red with dark hair is gorgeous as well.
When I wear red lipstick, I am super careful. Because some how I always seem to find a way to smudge it off my lips and then it stains me skin. Have the same issue? Well I found a solution. To stop that feathering, apply chapstick a little on and around your lips. The lipstick wont cling to the chapstick on your skin. Still smear it? Whipe off the chapstick and lip stick together. It should all work out smoothly.
I love this look of the smokey purple eye, especially because I have green eyes. I discovered how to do this look mainly the night of a formal dance and I was wearing a purple dress. My mom, who used to be a beautition, did my makeup for me and I loved it. So I tried it again myself. Lets get strted(:
First of course you want to do you foundation, primer, base, all that fun stuff. I used a liquid foundation and a concealer. Next, you want to take a white or vanilla color. Take an eye shadow brush and put it on the inner corners of your eyes, your brow bones, and lightly on your lids. Next take a shade of purple of your choice. My was Maybelline’s sexy smokes Amethyst. Apply the purple starting in the middle of your lid and carrying it out to the outer corner, almost giving it a feathery, disperaring, and smoley look off your eye. Next take a darker color, like a grey-ish black and apply some at the very outer corner. Then bled all together, apply liner, mascara and your good to go.
Heres my example:
Unless your on the red carpet, you wont see many lace dresses unless its summer. But when you do see them, what do you think? Wow that’s really cute, woah girl cover up, is that my grandma’s curtains, or eh not for me? Well here are some do’s and don’ts to go with those opinions.
When you wear a lace dress, obviously its made to be light weight, classy, and sometimes even revealing. But that doesn’t mean that that’s how other people see it.
DO’S
DONT’S
Once known as a small accessory has turned big. Chunky, gaudy rings are in, especially in the spring. Flowers seem to be the most common design found. I’ve also seen dragons, bugs, tigers, owls, suns, birds, and simple swirls. There are slightly smaller rings and there are huge rings. They make a great accessory, especially when they match your earrings. So cute! Take a look:
