Happy Halloween, Part 2!

Tonight we dressed up as a family!

Phoenix was the Cowardly Lion:



Jordan and I were Scarecrow and Tin Man:


My costume was borrowed so it was a bit big on me, hence the tank top underneath for modesty!

Together as an (almost) happy family! (Phoenix was tired...):



Poor little guy! He didn't want to pose for pictures, he wanted to play!

Jordan's dad took these pictures so they aren't as great as the ones Jordan takes himself!

My makeup:

Smokey eyes using light and dark silver shadows from a Stila palette, mascara is Zoom Fast Black Lash by MAC, gel liner by Maybelline


 Closeup of one eye, I don't know why my brows photographed reddish...

 Eye closed

Tin man! Err.. Tin Woman!

 If I only had a heart... da da da da da da...


Thanks so much for reading/looking! Kisses! I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!

Can't wait to get some videos up on youtube for you guys!

With love,
Brittany Rose

Happy Halloween!

To be festive I wore a striped black and white tank from forever 21 and black lipstick (Pagan Angel by Fergie for Wet n Wild).


 Sorry, just took these with my webcam while at school so picture quality is not so great!

Sorry about the hiatus from my blog, too! I have a video coming up for you guys soon with a blog to go with it and another blog post with my family and I's halloween costumes tonight!!

Here was Jordan and I last Saturday dressed up for halloween:


Note: I do not mean to promote violence or animal cruelty with the above photos, this was just a couple costume!

I was a deer and he was a hunter. Yes, I know does do not have antlers, but it helped further the point that I was a deer.

Be excited for some more blogs!


With love,
Brittany Rose

Going out tonight!

Hey, beauties! So tonight I am going out and so I decided to do a heavy smokey eye using MAC shadows in satin taupe (lid), vex (browbone), and contrast (crease), along with a stila shadow in black in the crease and maybelline gel liner.

My hubby isn't around so I don't have fancy pictures, just webcam pics!




And here is my awesome ring from Urban Outfitters!:



I need to paint my nails...


That's it for today I think. Tonight is a night off from mommy hood!

 With love,

No Makeup Day/Makeup Removal

It's hard to put your face through a whole application of makeup everyday. So today, I have my fresh face on!

Removing my makeup last night, I was wondering if anyone else experiences little bits of makeup in their eyes after removing. I feel like every time I take off my makeup, I spend another 10 minutes trying to get all the junk off my eyeballs.

If you've experienced this, which I'm guessing you have unless you don't wear black eyeliner, it's nothing to worry about, as long as you do take care of it. When left against your eyes, makeup can actually stain the whites of your eyes! For the inner corner of your eyes, just use a cotton swab. If you have any of that stuff when you pull down your lower lid, just use eye drops or water, and it'll work its way out. The eye has mucus that is always there, and if you wear black eyeliner, sometimes it just mixes in color and brings more attention.

You also can stop putting eyeliner on your waterline... but that is like my favorite part of makeup ever. Besides filling in my brows.

Be sure to change out your eyeliner monthly, too, or else very carefully sanitize. This prevents styes, which are the worst!

Now if you get glitter in your eye, that is yucky. One Halloween I got glitter in my eye and my eye lid swelled to the size of a fifty cent piece! Since it was actual glitter and not made for makeup/your eyes glitter, it was very unhealthy! If you are ever going to apply glitter make sure the product was made for your face and don't apply too close to your lash line!

This was a random post, but just my thoughts this morning!

Happy Thursday! Hooray for coffee!

With love,
Brittany Rose

Welcome to my blog!



Hello, everyone! My name is Brittany Rose Bavery, and I'm 21-year-old mother, student, and style enthusiast. Currently I'm attending UW-Madison as a full-time student, pursuing a BFA in English: Creative Writing (my focus is poetry). On the side, I'm beginning my job at Sephora inside JCP soon for the Holiday season. I am mother to a one-year-old boy named Phoenix, and he is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. His father, Jordan, and I are engaged and hoping to get married in December 2015, a year after I graduate college.


My family!!

My goal for this blog is to be a place to share my own makeup and style tips, constantly evolving to fit the life of a mother on the go. I also want to share my ups and downs of being a young mom, as well as share my thoughts and feelings on various topics that I'm sure many women can relate to. I hope you enjoy this blog, and I will try to post as often as I can. I'm just getting started and I'm not really sure how this whole thing will go, but I'm very passionate about trying the blogging process!

Please check back for new posts, and soon I will start weekly themed posts as well!

Thank you so much for visiting my website!

Feel free to leave comments, questions, and requests!

With Love,
Brittany Rose
