Photo of the Day! (POTD)

I am going to start a new post series called "Photo of the Day". What I'm going to do is show some awesome pictures that I took myself or found. If I find the picture I will include the source. I hope you guys like it! Tell me what you think in the comments below!

Spring is blooming! These are some flowers that blossomed from bushes and  trees near my house! I took these pictures myself of course. :D

Quality Makeup Brushes

Quality makeup brushes can make all the difference on how well your makeup looks. Unfortunately, lots of the name brands like MAC or Stila charge $20-40 per brush. By the time you've collected a good set of brushes, you would have spent over $100! Well, Sigma has lots of great and affordable options when it comes to brushes. Their individual brushes are about $10-20 but they have awesome deals on their brush kits. For a beginner I would recommend their travel kits because those include several brushes for $50-60 (depending on which kit you buy) plus a bag/container to store all the brushes in! I know $50 may seem like a lot of money just spent on brushes but it's better than spending over $100 on the same quality brushes. Sigma brushes are very good quality and I have one of their travel kits. The brushes are really soft and durable. They have a variety of brushes for the face, eyes, and lips! I think they're a great investment! 

Sigma Travel Brush Set

What Sigma products do you recommend if you own any? Are there any other brush brands that you recommend?

Affordable Dresses for Any Occasion!

Prom, graduation, parties, other fancy occastions, etc. Everyone wants to look amazing but doesn't want to fork over a ton of money on a dress that they might wear only a few times or even just once! You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for a beautiful dress! Here are some stores that sell stylish and affordable dresses. By the way, the stores are in no particular order. I just thought of them as I blogged! :D


Kohl's (kohls.com) : In the junior department there are tons of beautiful dresses to choose from online. In stores they have some options but online is your best bet. The original prices are about a hundred dollars but most of the dresses are on sale for around 60 dollars. Plus, if you have a Kohl's card you get extra discounts and offers!

 


Delia's (delias.com) : There are lots of trendy dresses here. I think there are more options online than in store especially with the prom styles. There are more casual dresses in store. Casual dresses on average are about 40 dollars and prom dresses are about 50-70 dollars.

American Eagle (ae.com) : They have mainly casual dresses like sundresses, tube dresses, etc. These dresses are about $20-50. If you are a rewards card member then you might get an extra discount.

Forever21 (forever21.com) : This store has the most options as far as I know. Their website has a bajillion different kinds of dresses at very affordable prices. I don't think there are many prom dress options though. The dresses are about $10-30. I don't have any dresses from here so I don't know if the quality is good or not, but the dresses are very trendy and affordable. 

Hollister (hollisterco.com) : Hollister is a bit on the pricier side for what you're getting but their quality is very good. There style is preppy and beachy. The dresses are about $60 unless you get the clearance which is about $30. I would recommend Hollister over Abercrombie and Fitch because they're owned by the same company so the styles are pretty much the same and the prices are lower. Dresses at Abercrombie and Fitch are $78 and Abercrombie Kids dresses are about $60. So Hollister is the more affordable store out of the set of stores.
