October Favorites

So I am a bad blogger. BAD BAD BAD! And I have excuses, they're good I swear! If you follow my vlog channel, or my twitter, than you'd know I've been busier than Beyonce these past weeks. (I'm not even kidding) With a new webseries out, and one premiering on Halloween, along with meetings galore, travel, meetups, events, and all the jazz, I've neglected you people :( And for that I am SORRRYYYYYY! So today, I bring you a pathetic excuse for a blog post letting you all know that my October Favorites video is up on my channel! See what I've been loving beauty, hair, fashion, skincare, tea, food, book, TV show and much more wise! (Plus it's filmed in my brand new apartment...don't you wanna see? Go go go!)

I promise I'll be back to you soon with a less pathetic post! 

Love you all to the moon & back <3

My Current Foundation Routine: It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness

And cue "started from the bottom now I'm here" (Which is still not that great, but HEY, improvements!) I've struggled with acne my whole life, so foundation for me is by far the most important step in my makeup routine. When I come across a foundation or a foundation-like product that I LOVE, I feel like it's only necessary to share it with you guys! So here we go, prepare your eyes for me without makeup...tis not a pretty scene...

So, are the gears in your little brains a-turnin' trying to figure out how I got from point A to point B? Check out my step by step tutorial & review of the 'It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Cream' on my channel! Click the video down below to watch!

Fashionably (Running) Late

We've all been there, one minute you're watching old episodes of One Tree Hill on Netflix and BAM suddenly its 3AM & you've got to get up in 3 hours. And alas, morning comes and the snooze button becomes your new play thing and before you know it you've got 5 minutes til class starts. Hopefully I'm not alone in this vicious cycle...So I made a video to save you sleep deprived students who arn't too keen on showing up to Psych 101 wearing Spongebob PJ's BUT want to feel just as comfortable, while saving you time in the morning. So I present to you, my "Running Late for School: 3 Comfy & Cute Outfits!" video!

This first look I rock way more than socially acceptable. I literally sleep in these super soft BM hoodies with leggings 5 days out of the week. So when I need to run errands to the new trendy Whole Foods (Where there are TONS of hot guys I may add...) I don't want to change completely but I want to seem semi-presentable. So throw on a leather jacket and boots and suddenly you've got an outfit! Hair a mess? Uh, that's why hoods were invented. No time or energy for eye makeup? Hello, sunglasses!

Hoodie- Brandy Melville, Jacket- PacSun, Leggings- Hue, Boots- Nine West, Sunnies- Rayban, Purse- Longchamp 

This next outfit has to be my personal favorite of the three. Skinny sweatpants are as ingenious as electronic kettles. It's a game changer in my life. They're publicly stated as fashionable and trendy...and THEY'RE SWEATPANTS! Need I say more? You need them in your life. Plus witty beanies and sneakers make you look like you're too busy and important to shower or wear heels. It's alllll about the illusion of a social life. 

Top- H&M, Skinny Sweats- Zara, Beanie- Brandy Melville, Wedge Sneakers- DailyL

 And finally, the most professional of the outfits. This was my go-to ensemble for finals week in college. I'd say up til 6 am studying flash cards of oceanography and suddenly I'd be asleep facedown in my text book. I don't know about you guys, but when I take a test, or public speak, I like to look the smarty pants part. Put together, prepared, and ready to ace it. Wearing my actual glasses (yes these are my prescription) not only saves me the hassle of putting contacts in in a rush, it makes me look stereotypically smarter! No time to change out of your PJ shirt? Totally fine! Throw on a blazer and no one will ever know! Finish it off with black harem pants, crazy comfortable, and hides wrinkles so well!

Top- Thermal PJ top (my mom's) Harem Pants- Forever21, Blazer- Forever21, Flats- Tory Burch, Glasses- Warby Parker

No one will ever know what you looked like 5 minutes ago ;)

Apartment Inspiration | #1 When in Paris

    With the countdown till my LA move coming closer and closer, I've found myself lost on home decor sites, Pinterest, and deeply entranced in West Elm's newest additions. Seriously though, the highlight of my day was seeing their new coffee tables. Sad? Maybe...But hey, I'm okay with it. 

    I've always struggled with naming my style, whether it's how I dress or how I decorate my bedroom, but I think I've finally got it... While I adore the "Pinterest-Chic" of chevron print, bright colors and glossy surfaces, I tend to favor what I call "Parisian" style. Leaning floor mirrors, lavish chandeliers, mirrored accents and a soft etherial color palette. Here are a few of my favorite photos that emulate the look I'll be going for in my new apartment. I'm giddy to start decorating & furnishing my new place....EEEP! Less than a week left! I can't believe it :)

Can we just take a moment for those mirrors...and the curtains...and the chandelier...my oh my

I love the high ceilings with this, but especially the tufted couch...I have a thing for tufted furniture

Flowers really are a girls best friend. Everything about them makes me so happy. And this fabulous ornate mirror

Hello beautiful photo please be my bedroom. I'm loving this light wood & cream mix 

I have no idea what these tassels are above the bed but I'm totally digging it. 

What's your dream apartment look like? Send me pictures! I'd love to get some more inspiration.

September Favorites

    Another month has come and gone, so alas I've complied a few of my favorite things from September to share with you all in my monthly favorites video! Check it out below:

Most Loved This Week | #2

Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal Scrub, Clean&Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel, Clinique Stay Matte Foundation, Bobbi Brown Travel Brushes, Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, Lorac Pro To-Go Palette, Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Icon, YSL in 15 Coral Intuitive, Pink Travelo 

Ah, another week has come to a close, and it's time again to show you my most loved and used beauty products this past week! As you know by my What's In My Travel Makeup Bag post, I'm currently in LA, so this week's post is brought to you from Lauren's apartment! Let us begin!

     I swear every booty-gahroo is all aboard the Michael Todd train & I can now finally say I GET THE HYPE! I got this Jojoba Charcoal Scrub in one of my ipsy bags, and I have fallen in looooove. I'm a huge fan of exfoliants, but because I have sensitive skin I have to be careful that they arn't too abrasive. This scrub is heavenly. Yes it does look like I'm rubbing cement on my face, I kinda like it...weird? It's rare for me to find a skincare product that doesn't dry my skin out, but on top of this this one actually makes my skin feel soft and hydrated!

    I've been a fan of gel moisturizers since Clinique's one I used in high school, and for some reason unknown to me, I stopped re-purchasing it. But then this little baby walked into my life. Wen I went to the Clean&Clear ambassador dinner in New York last winter they revealed their new Hydrating Moisturizer Gel, and I was SOLD. First off the packaging, erm hello is that my favorite color?! WHY YES IT IS. Don't even get me started on the scent (IT SMELLS LIKE STARBURST OH HELP ME) The feeling of this on my skin is really cooling & feels like I've just given myself an invigorating facial treatment. All for a drugstore price. Is this real life? (Yes it is)

    I'm sure you all are sick of me complaining about my skin's recent addition to Team Oily. Me too, oh me too. I'm in front of the camera a LOT, whether that be for my channel, acting things, or other YouTube gigs, and suddenly being a big ball of shiny sweaty-ness is not the most flattering thing in HD. So while I was at Sephora I picked up the Clinque Stay-Matte Foundation, especially targeted for those of us who need to stay matte all day. I will say it does stick to it's claims, paired with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, I can wear this under blazing studio lights and still look fresh as freaking daisy. (Also, who decided daisies were the freshest of flowers? What about peonies?)

    I'll admit it. I'm a brush snob.   

     As you already know, I'm a massive fan of the classic Lorac Pro Palette, and this Lorac Pro To-Go version of is seriously just as amazing! I look for eye palettes that I can create an entire look with, with 2 shimmery & 2 matte colors as well as 2 'highlight' shades I can create any look I'd want for any occasion! These shadows are SO pigmented, creamy & blendable, I for serious think Lorac might make my favorite eye shadows of all time... And on TOP of that, 2 blushes and a bronzer? This is like true love for frequent travelers, and those of you who like multi-purpose products!

     Can we just talk about how cute this Bobbi Brown Brush Set its? It's classy and leather and satin-y and pink. I feel like Blair Waldorf when I pull this out of my makeup bag. Everything Bobbi Brown touches turns to gold, so naturally these brushes feel like they're made out of angel hair. Mmmm me likey

    This Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Icon is a brand spanking new addition to my makeup collection and I don't even have the words to describe  my love for it. Really, I don't know how I survived last fall without it. Dark lips are my favorite thing during the colder months, and despite being in LA, I've already whipped it out. While a red is classic and timeless, I tend to gravitate towards deeper shades like plums, or this dark crimson. It's to die for. But really it's like a vampire lip. The formula goes on like a liquid and dries to a matte finish that lasts ALL FREAKING DAY. I can eat, drink, be merry and BAM my lip is staying put. Saying I might check out the other shades is an understatement. This is about to circa Pokemon, GOTTA CATCH EM ALL. 

    Speaking of palettes, meet every girl's new makeup necessity. I honestly don't know how I lived without this in my life. The Urban Decay Naked palettes are probably the most famous palettes out there right now, and the Basics Palette is by far my favorite of the line. There is just something so classy and timeless about matte shadows, they're basically idiot proof! As boring as this may look, I promise you that it'll change your makeup life. You need it. I swear. 

    I know we're into fall & this is a summer color, but let's be honest for a second, it's still in the 80's in LA & I can't get enough of this warm pink YSL #15 lipstick. The formula of these is godly, these lipsticks are SoOoOoOo smooth & moisturizing, but more than that, DEAR LAWWWD THIS COLOR! It's a perfect warm pink without being too coral or peachy, it's one of those staples that I'll be wearing year round. I luff it. 

    You're probably looking at this like, "My oh my Meghan is that a tampon or a sex toy?" and to that I say, NEITHER YOU PERVERTS. It's a Travalo! Basically this little baby is a refillable travel perfume spray-er-thing-er (articulate I know) This is perfect for those of you who don't want to go out and by a rollerball of your favorite scent, or maybe they don't even make it in that form! Right now I've been addicted to Laura Mercier's Almond Coconut fragrance, and now I can travel with it instead of lugging a huge bottle around! Plus it's pink. Who doesn't love pink?

Well that's what I've been loving this past week beauty product wise! If you wanna check out more of my week in LA, make sure to check out my WeeklyRosette vlogs on my second channel!
