Lea Michele



Lea Michele is one of my favorite people in this universe. She's Beautiful, AMAZINGLY Talented and has RED HOT Red Carpet Style. But Most Importantly She's Humble and CONFIDENT. I idolize her and I look up to her, She has such a positive, great, genuine vibe. The media would consider her flawed, (like her nose for example) but she ACCEPTS IT and OWNS IT. She knows it's what makes her "Lea". She is so comfortable in her own skin and that's so admirable. She's so grateful to work on a show that showcases all different types of beauty in a time where Hollywood lacks good role models.

"I'M PROUD TO BE ON A POSITIVE SHOW AND BE A VOICE FOR GIRLS AND SAY, YOU DON'T NEED TO LOOK LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, LOVE WHO YOU ARE"


"I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD OF MY BODY, MY JEWISH NOSE AND ALL OF THAT. HOLLYWOOD'S HOLLYWOOD,BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE"


Lea's multiple award nominated character on Glee, Rachel Berry is that overachiever I always wish I could be. She can be such a pain in the ass at times but once she sings you just can't help but love her.


Lea is the inspiration for my manicure today. I used "Miss Bossy Pants" from Sephora by O.P.I 's GLEE Collection. This Shimmery Raspberry hue is inspired by Lea's character Rachel Berry!!! i absolutely love how juicy the color is, so much fun for Summer.

Most Inspirational Song Ever...

I Cannot express how much I love this song and how much it has helped me. It's crazy how much 1 person and 1 song can help you in the worst of times. Love this girl. I am such a Big Fan of her Music.
Even though I'm older than her, she is definitely someone I look up to and admire. We share similar struggles and she is a reminder that I can overcome anything.

"When Life Gets Tough, STAY STRONG"

I Simply Adore Demi Lovato!

She is such a stunner. She always looks great and her hair and makeup is always on point.
 
She looks AMAZING here!!!!

Intro :)


Hiiiiii!
Welcome To My Blog
I have yet to think of an official name for the blog... I'll get to that when the name pops up in my mind. Please excuse my lack of wit :/
I'm Amanda and to say I'm obsessed with Makeup is an understatement.
I decided to create a blog just to talk about products I love, Share my thoughts on new goodies and trends. I'm Also going to talk about My Favorite celebs whose makeup I just adore and inspire me to recreate their looks, (and there will be ALOT of those). I'll also throw some of my real life and a little bit of fashion on this blog just for fun.

To me makeup isn't about covering your face and hiding behind a mask but enhancing one's best features and letting your natural beauty shine through. For example, I think my best features are eyes. I like to bring them out with a nice, defined lightly winged line in an unexpected soft color like a pretty pewter and then wiggle a great mascara to provide beautiful lush lashes and something that simple could make me feel amazingly good and confident. Sometimes just a little makeup can go a long way, then I can instantly go from Day to Night by adding a soft grey shadow and line the inner rims of my eyes with an intense black liner. With this look, I feel fierce and unstoppable like I can conquer the World. It's all about feeling good. When you feel good, you look good. 

I also like to play with lots of color because it defines being youthful and fun. You can express yourself in a beautiful artistic way when using bright pops of color whether its on your Eyes, Cheeks, Lips or Nails.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutley LOVE Makeup but I love the days when I don't wear any even more. I love letting my skin breathe, it's super refreshing.
