Motley Crüe at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort

Hiya Everyone!
A few days ago, actually Monday July 22nd. Tesla and Mötley Crüe played at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. I went sort of last minute to the show and ended up missing Tesla sadly but I did get to see the Mötley Crüe show. I didn't get any pictures myself but Lisa Sokol (@bettiepagegurl on twitter) has provided some. All photos below are her property and used with permission.
The show was great and it seemed like the band was having a great time. This show was also the last show on their short Midwest tour. There was standing room only at the show! It was amazing. This was an outside show, part of their sizzlin' summer concert series at Soaring Eagle. You could hear them play from inside the casino as well.
The band was on par, lots of lights, smoke/fog, and great music, it was a good night minus all of the drunk people but that is to be expected at an outdoors summer concert. This was the first time Mötley Crüe as a whole has played the casino, Vince and his solo band have played there twice. I was also at these shows and yet again they do not disappoint!
I must say though I have been to this casino hundreds of times for shows, concerts, and vacations and I have NEVER seen the place that filthy! I understand there were thousands of extra people there but it was downright digusting. None the less I will be going back in September for another show. Who knows maybe I will see some of you there. Thanks for reading!

Concert OOTN

Hiya Everyone!
I went to a concert last night and I wanted to share my outfit of the night with everyone! This is my exact outfit from the Tesla and Motley Crue Concert.
   
I wore my flame leggings I purchased at Rue 21 for 15.00 but I seen that Charlotte Russe has them for the same price. With my leggings I paired my Motley Crue shirt that I bought at Spencer's a few years ago, along with my Ed Hardy converse style shoes that I have also had a few years and are "well loved" but are great concert shoes especially at an outdoor concert. As for accessories I wore my cross necklaces from Torrid and carried my Chanel Bucket Bag. There is a cheaper version of this bag from Forever 21 for 27.00. This bag just carries everything I need easily and just slings over my shoulder but could also be worn as a cross body.
My makeup for the concert was simple, just my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer on my face. For my eyes I used my Stila Countless Color Pigment in Tie Dye that I purchased on my recent trip to Nashville, I used all three colors for sort of a blended rainbow effect. My Mascara was Benefit's They're Real Mascara. Lastly on my lips was Mac's Lady at Play Mineralized Lipstick from the Tropical Taboo Collection.
 
Always remember when you go to concerts, stylish but comfortable is the key.

Milani Eye Tech Bold- First Impressions

Hiya Everyone!
I was in need of a new liquid eyeliner so I picked this one up at Walgreens. It's the Milani Eye Tech Bold Liquid Eyeliner in 01 Black. I have only used this once so far and I am not impressed. I picked it up because I have heard good things about it but it will only make THICK lines! It's a felt tip which I like but there is NO WAY that this eyeliner would make a precise thin line! For more dramatic looks this would be good because you need thicker eyeliner but for everyday makeup I do not recommend this. Also it feels like it doesn't dry on my eyes, even after ten minutes if I swipe my finger over my eyes the eyeliner smears so much. I will keep trying to use this since this is just my first impressions. So far I give this a 2 out of 5 rating, 5 being the best and my holy grail. I also so far won't be repurchasing this product. You can see my swatches trying to make a thin line and a thick line which now kind of looks like a thick line and a super thick line. If you like this product please tell me how you use it to make it work for you because I really wanted this to work. Thanks for reading.

June Favorites!!!!

Hiya Everyone!
I'm back with my June Favorites for this past month! I have quite a few this month including a shoe favorite which I usually don't have.
First of all Is my shoes, my favorite shoes of the month are my princess Vera Wang flats. I purchased these at Kohls back in January for the sole purpose of wearing them this summer. I have been wearing them alot and I am taking them on my trip to Nashville next week. They are so comfortable.
Next are my two favorite eyeshadows that I have been wearing all month! First is my Mac Mineralized Eyeshadow in Fireside. I have been using this in my crease and outer corner. Next is my Maybelline color tattoo in Bad to the Bronze, this is a reoccurring favorite and I use this as an eyeshadow base.
I have two favorite hair products this month and they are my It's a 10 miracle styling product, I put this on my ends to just smooth my hair out and it helps with the split ends. I have had this ALL month and it looks like I've barely used it, a little goes a long way. My other hair product is my Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Spray, again a reoccurring favorite for my beachy waves.
I have been using cuticle oil alot this past month and my favorite is the Seacret cuticle oil, with Dead Sea minerals. This really helps with my cracked cuticles and now they look amazing.
I have 6 favorite lip products this month, they are all from the same collection. As soon as these came out I went as bought them all! They are the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Collection. I love them all so much and have been using them constantly.
Next is my Whitening Lightening Brow Bar to go. I usually use my Wet N Wild Brow Kit but I found this and the powders match my brows so much better ad the wax isn't white like most, it's tinted and looks like your eyebrows aren't waxy. I love this so much!
My last favorite is a newly discovered favorite and it's my Physician's Formula Super BB Powder. This is the best powder I have found. It makes my face makeup look flawless and is so lightweight! I love this stuff!
Well that was all of my June Favorites, I hope you enjoyed reading!
