TheBalm Nude 'Tude Palette

TheBalm's latest palette is the Nude 'Tude nude eyeshadow palette is a set of 12 eyeshadows and a double ended shadow/liner brush. I personally think this palette is DA BOMB. I love how there are 4 matte shadows which is double the amount of matte shadows in the Urban Decay Naked palette. This is a great palette for those starting in makeup and a great present for a beauty interested friend! Below are pictures of all the eyeshadows swatched so I hope you enjoy! xoxo Melby

Sept Favs Part 1 & 2! Special Movie Reviews!

Okay, so I filmed this and it was WAY longer than I thought and I had to cut out two good movies and one bad:( so I thought I would talk about the ones I had to cut out!
The bad movie I had to crop out was Bridesmaids, I didn't like this movie at all. I saw it with my mom (Mistake #1!!!) and from the very first scene it was SO AWKWARD! I just didn't like the characters or the humor. If you are into The Hangover type humor you probably really enjoy this movie. I personally was not a fan.
First good movie! Straw Dogs, I went to see this movie this weekend and I thought it was a really great movie. Be warned that it is very graphic and definitely a thriller/horror/scary kind of movie. There are several very graphic scenes and one in particular (I'm not going to talk about what happened directly), the girl (Kate Bosworth) has something terrible happen to her, twice, and I wish that she had told her husband because in the end when they are fighting for their lives I wish he had been fighting for her, like fighting for her honor instead of just fighting against the bad guys. But overall I thought it was great.
Second good movie! Saying good is kind of an understatement, I thought it was great! I saw this twice in theaters and thought it was great. I love Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and Steve Carrell. It is surprising and great and an awesome love story for girls and guys! My brother and my boyfriend both enjoyed the movie a lot so it is a great movie for everyone. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it.
OKAY enough rambling, here are some links to my videos! Hope you enjoy:)
