My Tennessee Vacation (Red Velvet Funnel Cake, Cupcakes & More)!

My Tennessee Vacation (& Cupcakes!) // via eyelinerwingsandprettythings

So I recently returned from a week-long vacation to Tennessee! I’m not a country girl and this trip experience certainly didn’t make me want to pack my bags and head down south any time soon, but I definitely had a great time. Here are some pictures from my trip & some details in case you plan on planning a vacation to Tennessee!

We went to Dollywood, we white water rafted, drove go-karts, did The Escape Game (a real life escape the room sort of thing), got AMAZING cupcakes, saw a magician, shopped around…there was a lot to do!

My Summer 2015 Beauty Wishlist

My Summer Beauty Wishlist 2015 // via eyelinerwingsandprettythings

Ahh, another wishlist. I have this insatiable desire for beauty products–a thirst that cannot be quenched. I generally buy no products for a few weeks and then binge-buy on Ulta or at the drugstore in order to get free shipping or a discount. Anyways, here are some beauty products that I’ve been lusting after this summer!

My Summer Beauty Wishlist 2015 // via eyelinerwingsandprettythings

NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator (Sunbeam) – $7.49 – I’m generally not a fan of any liquid products aside from eyeliner, concealer and foundation but I’ve been looking into a new beauty technique called strobing (see my article on it here) and this seems like an essential for doing this contour-y technique!

+ Coastal Scents Hot Pot (Caramel Ice)– $1.95 – I would’ve bought this by now if I didn’t only have the option to order it from the Coastal Scents website and pay shipping, ugh. All of the Coastal Scents products and brushes I’ve tried I’ve fallen in love with and so I’m very down for some new shades.

+ NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream (Ibiza) – $5.99 – I’m obsessed with NYX’s lip cream and this is one of the shades I, sadly, do not own.

+ e.l.f. Studio Lip Lock Pencil (Clear) – $3 – I’ve been digging bolder lip colors lately and my red lip liner makes a huge difference with my red lipstick so I’ve been dying to get my hands on this clear one that prevents feathered colors. Want!

+ L’Oreal Voluminous Miss Manga Rock Mascara – $7.99 – I own two of the other manga mascaras and quite like them. L’Oreal has some of my FAVORITE mascaras and this one, although it looks really odd, intrigues me and I’m dying to try it. Plus, the packaging is so pretty.

Literally everything I want on this list is under $10. You might be wondering “Paige, why don’t you just buy some of these things?”. Good question. I hate spending money and most of these products I would have to order online and I refuse to pay shipping.

Also, sorry all of these products are like oatmeal colored and plain looking. I love me a bold lip color but most of my beauty products are pretty basic. We can’t all have strong aesthetic 24/7. Life isn’t a fashion blog.

What’s on your summer beauty wishlist?

As much as we’d all love to rock diamond Cartier earrings and pearl necklaces all day, I doubt our budget allows for that. For ladies like me who love wearing a different necklace on the daily and can’t seem to commit to a pricey jewelry piece (for fear of losing it, oops), I’ve gathered up 5 of my favorite places to purchase inexpensive accessories.

I’m Basically A Mogul Now

eyelinerwingsandprettythings // I got Hosted and joined Her Campus Premier Blogger Network!

Okay, well, I don’t exactly know what “mogul” means. Kimora Lee Simmons is/was a mogul and a lot of important businesswomen seem to be. I’m totally stretching it. I’m not a mogul but I DID just make an investment in my blog. I got hosted with BlueHost and I also have other exciting news…

I also got accepted into the HerCampus Premier Blogger Network which is super awesome. They choose some awesome blogs to join the network and have some special opportunities.

Basically this post was to share some recent exciting changes, I feel like such a grown up right now. Grown ups probably don’t wear socks with watermelon on them and eat cookies for breakfast, though. Oops.
