Hello everyone! My name is Greta, in case you didn't know, and today I am going to be talking about my outfit of the day for a winter school day! Hey that rhymed! Well, anyways, I live somewhere where its very very cold right now, so today I thought I would show you something I would wear on a regular day in winter, and when I have to go to school! So I hope you enjoy reading! So I absolutely adore bright colors and patterns, and I like to spice things up a lot, SO for my outfit of the day I decided to go with a brightly colored sweater that is sheer that I wear a white tank top under, and a pair of brightly colored red and pink leggings that have a floral pattern.  Then I of course added my necklace designed by Amber Scholl because,  HELLO??!? She is amazing! And I wear her necklace almost everyday! Then I add a pair of boots by Steve Madden that are covered in studs that I just absolutely adore I think they're so cute and they're so fun and they just add so much t...

Hello everyone! My name is Greta! And anyone who knows me at all, that I am a cheap person, but I love fashion and I love to be unique, so thrifting is one of my favorite things! I love it so much because a lot of the stuff you find in thrift stores are unique, and you can not find them anywhere else! So here are some quick tips on thrifting 101! Enjoy reading my lovelies! Just take your time! Its very important to take your time in thrift stores, to make sure you get a look at everything! Look for cheaper designer goods! There are tons and tons and tons of really cool designer stuff that, if it were not in a thrift store, it would have been really expensive! Just look around! Make a list before hand. Its best to know what your looking for, however, this does not mean you can't get something you really like just because its not on your list! Making lists helps me with tons of things. Its just important to know what your looking for! Looking for a cute jacket to match your dre...

Hello everyone! It's Greta and I am back once again with another blog post! If you're new to my blog, you should know that I am obsessed with anything beauty or fashion-related, so that's why I started my blog. However, before we get started, I wanted to let you all know that I am uploading 3 times today instead of one! In case you don't know, I upload on Wednesdays and Sundays, but every once in a while, I upload 3 times instead of one! Now you know, as a Beauty blogger, I write reviews on things, I tell my readers my favorite beauty products and I do so much more, but I am also one of the cheapest people you will ever meet. And a lot of beauty products out there can be super expensive, especially the famous brands, so today I'm going to be showing you some dupes for a bunch of famous cosmetics. This will include Kylie Cosmetics, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, and Chanel. So I hope you enjoy reading! Kylie Lipsticks: Now, Kylie Jenner's lip kit line i...

Hello my lovelies! In case you have never read my blog, Hi, my name is Greta and you should probably go ahead and subscribe (the button is under the blog title). So I have a on going series called "Chanel Crafters", which is a bunch of DIYs that I either come up with, or find on the internet and want to share. So today I am going to be showing you how to make 2 different face scrubs! So I hope you all enjoy reading! #1: What You'll Need 1. Coconut Oil 2. Sugar (Brown or White, your choice) 3. Essential Oil of your choice (you could mix multiple scents if you want) How to make it Step One: Put Two Large Spoonfuls of Coconut Oil into a jar (or anything else you want to mix it in) Step Two: Put in the microwave for 25 seconds (or you could melt it over a candle if you want) Step Three: Put in around 4 large spoonfuls of sugar, or just mix in enough to make the consistecy less liquid and more chunky. Step Four: Add around 10-20 drops of whatever essential o...

Hello my lovely people! Its Greta! Happy Sunday! So, normally on this blog I do fashion and beauty related things, but today I am doing something different! As you probably know, I am a huge fan of Mylifeaseva (aka Eva Gutowski), and she came out with a book! I got it a few days ago and I have already read it 4 times! Its such a good book! So today I am going to be ranting about it. A lot of the book is about fashion and beauty, so it kinda relates to my blog! Enjoy! Here are some things I love about this book: 1. The pictures are bright, fun and colorful, which makes me want to keep reading. 2. In the book, Eva writes many awkward and funny stories about a younger Eva.  3. It shares real opinions about body image, clothes and makeup. Eva made sure she told everyone who read her book that they are beautiful no matter what! And I believe that statement completely.  4. She shows tips, and things she wishes she would have known, when she was a teenager.  ...

Hello everyone! Its Greta! Today I am back once more with a hair care post! And its the third and final post of this extra post Wednesday! So today I am going to be showing you some amazing hair care products that I really love! I don't use hairspray, which people may find weird, but I usually just use my hair paste or other products. These are just my top three hair care products, so please don't expect a ton of products! I hope you all enjoy reading! 1. I live for my living proof defining styling cream. This helps all the tiny pieces of hair that stick up, stay down, and it is so helpful! Also, if I am rocking a curly look, it helps my hair stay that way, same with straight hair! It just over all helps my hair be the best it can be. It was also voted best hair care product by "allure". I would 100% recommend this product. 2. This is kind of a fancy occasion kind of hair product for me. Its the voluming mousse in the middle. I love this stuff! It helps my hair...

Hello everyone! And welcome to the second post of today! In case you don't know, I always pick a Wednesday or Sunday every once in a while where I post three times instead of one!  So for the first time, I am using my own picture in this blog post! I am going to try to start using a bunch of my own pictures! So today I am going to be showing you my current favorite makeup products, this is not all my makeup, but these are my current favorites! So I hope you all enjoy reading! (PS: the brush, sponge and eyelash curler are just decoration. They are beauty tools, not beauty products!) LA Colors Powder: I use the color "Medium Translucent", because tinted powders don't usually work in the summer, when I usually get tanner. This is super nice because even though its a really cheap it does not cake, and it goes on super smooth! I love this product because its easy to apply and it helps have the appearance of tight pores. Mineral Fusion Sheer Tint Foundation: I used t...

Hello my fabulous people! I am back once more, and today I am going to be telling you some things you should know about makeup. Also, I just thought I would let you know that today is one of those days where I post three posts instead of one! So look out!  Makeup is awesome, and I don't want anyone who reads this to feel bad for not knowing these things, but these are some things I feel everyone should learn about makeup! So I hope you enjoy reading! Question: Does price matter? Answer: Yes, and No. It matters more the quality of the makeup, rather then the price. If you want to splurge on makeup, and you have the money, go for it, if you can't, thats okay. There are plenty of brands that are amazing and you can find them at Target, and drugstores. Makeup is about you feeling, and looking your best, its not abut trying to impress anyone but yourself. So I guess if I had to give a one word answer I would say, no. Question: Sephora or Drugstore? Answer: what ever you lik...

Hello my beautiful angels! Happy Sunday! Today I am going to be doing something a little different. I did a post about Kylie Jenner's lip kits, I will link it at the end of this post. But Rihanna recently created her very own beauty line called "Fenty Beauty by Rihanna" and most people loved it. She came out with over 40 foundation shades, and many other products. People are in love with the wide range and the way Fenty Beauty looks gorgeous on pretty much everyone. So I thought it would be fun to talk about why Rihanna's makeup line is slaying Kylie Cosmetics! Just so you know, I am in no way trying to throw shade at Kylie, this is just my opinion. I adore Kylie's lip kits and I admire how hard she works on her company. But the truth is, Fenty Beauty has a much better rep. I hope you enjoy, let me know if you do down below! 1. Fenty Beauty is available in Sephora, where as you can only get Kylie Cosmetics online and they take a while to arrive in the mail. ...
