Fashion: Steal Her Style! Selena Gomez Version (Pt.1)

Hiiiii, it has come to my favorite time of the week, Fashion Wednesdays!

Today instead of reviewing an item I will be continuing the Steal Her Styles! Series with Selena Gomez!

Selena is definitely a fashion icon, and she always has been! since 2007! Her style has changed, but many people still love the way she dresses and does her makeup!

In Part 1 I will be teaching you the basics of make-up and hair, stay tuned for part 2 later tonight for similar/exact outfits!

Makeup, what you'll need:

• BB Cream or foundation
• Face Powder
• Blush
• Primer
• Natural Eye shadow
• Dark Shadow
• Brow kit
• Eye liner
• Mascara
• Lipstick (Plum, Red, Pink, or Nude, depending on outfit)

Makeup Tutorial Natural:

Naturally, when she's out, Selena doesn't use much makeup, so this is really simple.

1. Use a little bit of foundation, powder, or don't use any! Do whatever your comfortable with for your face only. Use only a lot of foundation or powder if you want to cover up any blemishes.
2. Use a rosy pink blush and apply it lightly to the apples of your cheeks.
3. Curl your eye lashes and add mascara.
4. Shape your brows however you want to, just make sure they are defined. You don't even have to use any color you may just want to brush them to keep them in place.
5. For the lips just use clear baby lips, eos, or anything similar to make you lips glossy. If you want to look a bit fancier just apply a bit of nude lipstick.

Make Up Tutorial Going Out/Awards:

1. Apply primer and foundation to cover up any blemishes.
2. Use powder over the foundation to make it more natural.
3. For your cheekbones, you can use only a little bit of bronzer to define them, since Selena doesn't use it a lot, and she has a roundish face.
4. Lightly apply a dark pink color to the apples of your cheeks.
5. For your eyes do a smoky eye look and finish it off by lining your eyes with the cat eye effect, for the bottom lashes use eye liner from the middle of your eye (where your iris should be) and line your water line from there until it connects with the flick of the top liner.
6. For lips Selena usually uses a crimson red, or has been using a plum color as well. It all depends on the outfit or dress you will be wearing.

Hair Tutorial Heatless (more time consuming, easier)

1. Shower the night before and squeeze excess water off your hair.
2. Braid Your hair while it is damp, side braid.
3. Go to sleep.
4. Wake up and take the braid off.
5. It will already be in waves, so just add some texturizing spray (optional) to give it volume and keep the waves in place.

Hair (heat, fast)

1. Curl your eyes with a wand into big bouncy curls.
2. Brush hair lightly
3. Add spray

Taa-daa!!!! It is really easy!

Will be posting Part 2 in a while (: -xx

Book Review: Wake

The book I will be reviewing is Wake by Amanda Hocking. I really, really, enjoy this book and I love the main character Gemma Fisher.

Gemma is just amazing, she's sweet and honest and so true to herself which is something she will really need when Penn, Thea, and Lexi arrive at the small town of Capri. Gemma is juggling many problems: swimming practices, school, theater, her mom, who lost her memory, her dad, who misses her mom terribly, her sister Harper, and Alex, her cute neighbor who is also Harper's friend. The arrival of Penn, Thea, and Lexi doesn't help either, but here's the twist: ( HUGE GIGANTIC SPOILER ALERT BEWARE!!!!! STOP IF YOU PLAN ON READING THE BOOK, THANKYOU) They're sirens. Not mermaids, sirens. Terrible creatures who are like mermaids, but also turn into horrible birds. They have charm and feed on men's hearts, they can also charm anyone with the water song and can't be away from the water for too long. One Night they turn Gemma into one, and there's nothing she can do about it, what will she do to stop the horrible girls and herself?

Wake is book one of the water song series.

Official Summary of book (written by author) 

Beautiful. Fearless. Dangerous. They're the kind of girls you envy; the kind of girls you want to hate. Strangers in town for the summer, Penn, Thea, and Lexi have caught everyone's attention, including the eye of practical Harper. But it's her sister, Gemma, they've chosen to be part of their group. Sixteen-year-old Gemma seems to have it all - carefree, pretty, and falling in love with the boy next door. But her greatest passion has always been the water. She craves late night swims under the stars, where she can be alone yet belong to the sea. Lately she's had company. Penn, Thea, and Lexi spend their nights dancing, singing, and partying on the cove--and one night Gemma joins them. When she wakes up groggy on the beach the next morning, she knows something has changed. Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. As she uncovers the truth about her new mythical powers, Gemma is forced to choose between staying with those she loves or entering a dark world brimming with unimaginable secrets.
