Some of my friends use it, and they all say it works pretty well for them, so I expected it to not really make too much of a difference for me. I bought it just yesterday, used it last night, and saw a complete difference in my complexion today!!! I have some acne on my t-zone (chin and forehead mostly) and when I woke up, all of my pimples had shrunk and some had even seemed to disappear! I would highly recommend this line of products to anyone with mild acne like myself, it really works well.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688267902903295560.post-54746051572187311582010-02-11T20:30:00.000-08:002010-02-11T20:40:23.504-08:00Alexander McQueen 1970-2010Today, Alexander McQueen died.

From what Iv'e seen as of late, Spring will bring pretty pale florals and floaty dresses. I want to get a really pretty sheer floral dress that I can wear with flats or flip flops.

If you're wondering why everything is either grey or black (no I have not gone goth), it is because for Christmas, I got a book called What Would Audrey Do?. This book was kind of a biography/etiquette book about Audrey Hepburn, which talked a lot about how Audrey Hepburn was a style icon because she loved simple, classic, comfortable clothes, especially in black. So right now, I'm really into grey, black, and white, especially heather grey. It's hard to tell, but all the grey pieces of clothing are the same really beautiful shade of heather grey. This was definitely a good boxing day, since I got some really key wardrobe pieces that I can build on.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688267902903295560.post-73240799315109396202009-12-25T09:45:00.000-08:002009-12-25T10:13:17.759-08:00Christmas Day!!!After all the waiting, it's finally here! and I got some really amazing gifts. <br /><br />Among my favorites: <br /><br />-A new straightener (I really needed one.

I've always really loved Benefit, so I decided to look for concealer there. After looking through all the foundations, mascaras, and fragrances, I finally found what I was looking for: the Benefit Boi-ing concealer. The Benefit Boi-ing concealer is described as an industrial- strength concealer, and it really is. This concealer doesn't look like much, but the results are amazing. I have a few blemishes and scars near my hairline and chin, and I didn't really expect to have them covered very well, but this concealer really surprised me. I just rubbed a little on, then dabbed around the edges, and it was like magic. You couldn't even see it anymore. It didn't even clump or feel heavy on my face. And it lasted all throughout the day without needing another application, which is important because I hate having to run to the bathroom every half hour to re-apply my concealer. This is by far the best concealer I've ever had and I know I won't be trying anything else anytime soon.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688267902903295560.post-67659023420531509972009-12-23T19:38:00.000-08:002009-12-27T23:05:05.833-08:00New Hair<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVB69vFUA2_zG8EloH9Dvxd-ngNEcw40DWor-GlM54-kkW_8W6oHnyZUdFKPAhyphenhyphenHGRRMNFS1OmAUOzx_W8mMXcPwwfSzMjSIvhHwWFw_HERgI889zp5xYbobAdQcqEucrEneHL76K5CICq/s1600-h/IMG_1092.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVB69vFUA2_zG8EloH9Dvxd-ngNEcw40DWor-GlM54-kkW_8W6oHnyZUdFKPAhyphenhyphenHGRRMNFS1OmAUOzx_W8mMXcPwwfSzMjSIvhHwWFw_HERgI889zp5xYbobAdQcqEucrEneHL76K5CICq/s320/IMG_1092.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418691732700105922" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgdliF1jA6wG5Z2YdPmVS0gzzcYG9a7g8N7wc5Mf1BlKML8ebQmKu4uQp_Z-fzU62b-HbEcpoJnrNnIk9Ppti5f5T3359uUgOWSL6t2NAvNE6pSoSYyK14_ZgszVhFFJ46t25R9XdkGH2/s1600-h/IMG_1020.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgdliF1jA6wG5Z2YdPmVS0gzzcYG9a7g8N7wc5Mf1BlKML8ebQmKu4uQp_Z-fzU62b-HbEcpoJnrNnIk9Ppti5f5T3359uUgOWSL6t2NAvNE6pSoSYyK14_ZgszVhFFJ46t25R9XdkGH2/s320/IMG_1020.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418691721315391186" /></a><br /><br />Today, I got straight bangs.

She wasn't my favorite actress, but she was in Clueless, one of my favorite movies of all time. Whenever I watch that movie, I always think the best part about it is the clothes the characters wear. They're the clothes I wish I could wear, but can't find anywhere. It really is sad though, since she was only 32 years old and she died of a supposed heart attack.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688267902903295560.post-53492643391783754472009-12-18T20:45:00.000-08:002009-12-18T23:26:24.306-08:00New Boots<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQUHDQYBtFAt_Vdoh1nF5hZjNzdEuLnh1EdiWjEnuv2pFPtU-xIcoffIv9KPi-ZsokavekqaUPZ1cI7PseBRvOG0H1C6UoUMDl8zSZW3xzDrPgpz0uYb3PWS3DQlmDfhvTcIBKb3Usqm91/s1600-h/IMG_1017.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQUHDQYBtFAt_Vdoh1nF5hZjNzdEuLnh1EdiWjEnuv2pFPtU-xIcoffIv9KPi-ZsokavekqaUPZ1cI7PseBRvOG0H1C6UoUMDl8zSZW3xzDrPgpz0uYb3PWS3DQlmDfhvTcIBKb3Usqm91/s320/IMG_1017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416844707524900034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHglGXs0lgfBtNFH5wYUrtP4omdbUWvp9RPEGALa47Y8xBsEur0hIlsHc1vrtbSv4Kq2pZxwllbbbU8ei0AdY8aeSbJsHidqdqQ3btHFTOePWb254QQLKD5xdI_rjC2JqgEv3UmflrKTT6/s1600-h/IMG_1012.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHglGXs0lgfBtNFH5wYUrtP4omdbUWvp9RPEGALa47Y8xBsEur0hIlsHc1vrtbSv4Kq2pZxwllbbbU8ei0AdY8aeSbJsHidqdqQ3btHFTOePWb254QQLKD5xdI_rjC2JqgEv3UmflrKTT6/s320/IMG_1012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416844698003494050" /></a><br />This is what I wore today.

They're all pinned to my cork board above my desk.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688267902903295560.post-82111240286207901232009-11-21T20:02:00.000-08:002009-12-19T00:06:37.237-08:00Military<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd0kmRO7cjh2rzg7tmVpl4E4NTfZT-F4dYtpsXXdbiyD2yuBA8sM-YZyTJB-fj6CRhs5Jx1epbOKFzwmfDs7uQpdFl6o9iSbc5TK_I7WgVxTxZkTs_RAa5Ucy07kgdaAVdyDbDv1e43Sct/s1600/IMG_0955.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd0kmRO7cjh2rzg7tmVpl4E4NTfZT-F4dYtpsXXdbiyD2yuBA8sM-YZyTJB-fj6CRhs5Jx1epbOKFzwmfDs7uQpdFl6o9iSbc5TK_I7WgVxTxZkTs_RAa5Ucy07kgdaAVdyDbDv1e43Sct/s320/IMG_0955.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406778674845585970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZQ2P2jFEO5Qypa7_F9eaW9aWVkM6RZO6JpWCmHojSsenBK9ILQLmclcB8LzOHFLiyF7sSD3OvgEiUWv12qgKe-2rweVzOWFE9Br2asXR2fBP-s_dbJ_FIkk82cr7WD68WsDtjNIQ-AISp/s1600/IMG_0963.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZQ2P2jFEO5Qypa7_F9eaW9aWVkM6RZO6JpWCmHojSsenBK9ILQLmclcB8LzOHFLiyF7sSD3OvgEiUWv12qgKe-2rweVzOWFE9Br2asXR2fBP-s_dbJ_FIkk82cr7WD68WsDtjNIQ-AISp/s320/IMG_0963.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406778046516455010" /></a><br /><br />Vest: Vera Moda<br />Long sleeved shirt: C&C California<br />Jeans: River Island<br />Brooch: Second hand<br /><br />I love this military-inspired outfit. I just got the brooch this morning at a second hand sale and I've already got a few compliments on it. I've recently become OBSESSED with silhouette-style jewelry. They really remind me of the Victorian era.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688267902903295560.post-86053676167055178372009-11-18T21:36:00.000-08:002009-11-18T21:58:20.919-08:00Halloween<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSlLE8AtUB3l8Et86yonwA9-wxkx766SYt_EgYjKMW9RRbYmjEUc8CXvC79hzt9hrj_6GjSq9Z6oS6-_mx44-FRMePqwZ459FkaTgcQ3PjctKOxZJeStLQbdGhUq5CgziDnWRWm6qbCqkO/s1600/halloween.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSlLE8AtUB3l8Et86yonwA9-wxkx766SYt_EgYjKMW9RRbYmjEUc8CXvC79hzt9hrj_6GjSq9Z6oS6-_mx44-FRMePqwZ459FkaTgcQ3PjctKOxZJeStLQbdGhUq5CgziDnWRWm6qbCqkO/s320/halloween.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405690041031503362" /></a><br />For Halloween this year, I went as Pacman. It was so much fun! I bought the Pacman head online and was so worried it wouldn't come in time for Halloween, but thankfully, it came two days before.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961749731924516170noreply@blogger.com0
