In the moment.

Right now I am sitting in the library. It is 4:30pm on a rainy friday afternoon. Why am I here? Oh, that's easy. I am trying to get through finals week. For most, it is already over. For me it is just beginning. I currently have to write an 8 page philosophy paper but instead I am here writing this blog. Why oh why do I have to write this paper? I just want to get rid of my requirements so I can just focus on my career already. On my Facebook there are two girls who intern for Elvis Duran and The Morning Show. It would be a dream to intern for them. I am working my butt off for an opportunity. I want to be in the entertaining business in public relations. This is the reason I am working myself off. I just needed a reminder of why I am doing this. Well, now that that's done.

Good luck to anyone who has finals or already completed them.

Mascara Review!!

Now it is time for a mascara review! 

Enjoy and please note that these are my opinions! 

Disclaimer: I have short, thin lashes, some of these mascaras did not work for my type of lashes. 

Top to bottom:

Volum' Express One by One (waterproof)

Range: $6-7

Overall Thought: This mascara was not what I expected. I heard a lot of people say it was good and that is why bought it. I did not like it and I was not happy at all. It did nothing for my lashes, it was simply acted like a clear coat. I would not recommend anyone to waste their money on this.

Maybelline Volum'Express Falsies Mascara (hydrofuge, waterproof)

Range: $7-9

Overall Thought: This was one of my favorites. I honsetly liked this one. I also love it in the waterproof selection because I think it last longer. I would recommend it to people with all types of lashes.

Illegal Length Fiber Extension Mascara (waterproof)

Range: $8-9

Overall Thought: This is my absolute FAVORITE mascara EVER. I love this and I wear it everyday. not only does it lengthen my lashes, it also makes them think. Very black is the best. I would recommend this mascara to everyone and their mother! Love! Love! Love!!!!!!

Career Path!

Today I attended a mentor session. It went very well. I attended many of these in high school because I went to a business high school. By that I mean that we had to receive a certain amount of business credits in order to graduate. Today was such an eye opener. I actually had the chance to meet people who were in my business path. I am a public relations major and a spanish major. I hope to work with a company that has something to do with fashion or entertainment. One day! I'll let everyone know!!

MishellaBella donates blood???

Today my school was holding their bi-annual blood drive and since last year I couldn't donate because I had recently gotten piercings, I attempted today. Everytihng was going okay until I got to the doctor. He took my blood pressure TWICE then the continued to check my blood. We found out that I was missing iron in my blood, so I wasn't strong enough. :/ I was once again let down, I really want to donate. I thought I was fine but I guess I have to take iron pills to be normal. I'll try next semester. 

Love always,

MishellaBella

Hello Bellas!

Hurricane Sandy!

Hurricane Sandy is just about done doing her damage. Now it is time to fix up all the damage she has done. In New York everything is okay. Yes there is damage but there's nothing that this city can't do. Yes, it will be tough but it will be worth it. Sandy was expected but unexpected. We didn't expect it to hit this hard. When ever I see a disaster I pray for peoples safety and now seeing this damage through my own window, I feel helpless. All of my town has no power, thank goodness my building has a generator, but for all of those who don't have power, its crazy. Even thought these bad times I am going home to visit my family since they cancelled all my classes. Any ways, hope every one is okay and I wish the rest of the east coast the best. Happy Halloween. BE safe and enjoy!

How my friends and I spent halloween.

4 Favorite Lip Sticks For the Fall

For the fall I found that wearing lip stick makes everything better! There are different approaches when it comes down to choosing eye wear to go with lip wear but lets stick with lip wear.

Here are four of my favorites at the moment: (They are all from Revlon.)

Top view and bottom view

    Left to right: Matte 001 Nude, Pearl 120 Apricot Fantasy, Creme 130 Rose Velvet, 

Creme 510 Berry Rich

Hand swatches. The same order as the top. 

There are different ways to wear each of the colors. Usually I wear Apricot Fantasy over the Nude. I do that because I feel like I can't pull off the whole nude trend because it doesn't go well with my skin color. This would go great with dark eye colors. For the Apricot Fantasy I would wear it with a brownish/nude eyes just to go natural. The Rose Velvet goes great with simple eyeliner(winged of course!). This shade is more casual. I would say everyday wear. For a really bold look go for the Berry Rich Shade. This shade goes a long way. The color is bright and bold but perfect for the fall. Maybe a dramatic look or a night out would be great for this shade. 

.

This is the "Apricot Fantasy over the Matte Nude" look. 

Red Velvet with the wings(eyeliner).

Natural Red Velvet look.

A causal BOLD look. Pop of color on the lips <3

Post Soon to Come!

I really want to start posting more. I feel like I don't have enough time with school and work and homework. I am literally upset. Hopefully I will get on it soon cause I love everything of this fall season! 

Me today.

Galaxy Nails!!!!

Hello lovelies <3

Here's a peek at my nails that I have been loving.
It's not too complicated but it does take up a bit of time and multiple colors!

Enjoy and let me know if you like and if you've tried!

Make up that I LOVE!!!!!!

So here are a few things that I have been loving recently. This isn't all of it, its only some of it. 

NARS Blush: Orgasm 

Price: $28 (@Sephora)

This blush is a little pricey but TOTALLY worth it. I recommend this blush because it is sparkly and adds a nice tone to your skin. I have been using this for the last couple of days because I like how it looks on my skin in the sun. It gives me a nice natural glow. 

GET or FORGET?: 

This is definitely a get. Get this as soon as you can, I promise you will not regret it!

Make Up Remover

Price: Unsure

I think this is a travel size that is why I am unsure of the price. Although I do not use this everyday, I do use it every other day and I must say I would probably have horrible skin if it weren't for this product. Since I do use make up everyday, except weekends, my brushes tend to get a bit.....over used. All you need to do is spray some of this onto the brushes and get a towel and clean them off. I like using this because it is easy, I usually take an hour to clean all my brushes. It feels great once you have cleaned your brush and are using it again, it feels almost new. ALMOST.

GET or FORGET?: 

I think this is a get if you use brushes everyday only because it is very good if you are clean with you make up. Remember your skin is sensitive and important, better be safe than sorry!

These are just a few of my everyday products that I have been using . I really recommend these if you're interested. Please note that these are only my opinions. 

Bullying.

Todays topic is going to be a bit different. Recently there has been a lot of news going around bullying. When I first heard this I was being inconsiderate and thought, "I will NEVER let that happen to me." I thought that people who were bullied made themselves the victims. Stupid, huh? I remember a few months ago I was talking to my sisters and the topic came up and I remember responding, "I was never bullied." Of course I believed this so badly. Last week I was reading the newspaper with my mother and we came across an article that was about a young boy, around the age go 10 or 12, who had committed suicide because he was being tormented in school. Right away after reading this my mother turned to me and said, "What ever happened to that girl who use to bother you?" I was so shocked with this question. I cannot believe I had blocked out those memories. In middle school there was a girl who did not like me because the boy that she liked, liked me, childish right? I remember her just being mean and I use to not like going to school because I knew I would see her face. One day during gym I had forgotten my locker and I just put my stuff in any locker thinking that no one would notice. Right after gym I went to the locker which had my belongings in it. I stood there in shock when I read the words on that locker. "Slut. Bitch. Stupid. Ugly." I never told anyone this before but at that moment I wanted to cry and be with my mother. I was with my friends and I remember just saying "wow, what losers did this?" and continued to get my stuff. Once I opened the locker I found all my notebooks and papers where just dumped there and someone had taken my book bag. Great. I remember having that lump in my throat holding back those tears. I didn't want to look weak in front of my friends. I was upset but one of my friends offered me a plastic bag to take my stuff home in. I remember being upset and not wanting to go to school because I didn't know who did it, but I had a feeling of a group of girls who didn't like me. I remember feeling as if middle school was never going to end. I recall not wanting to return to school but I never spoke up. Just when I had thought things had died down, I realized they had just began.

I never realized that I was being bullied, which is strange. One day I was on aim chatting with my best friend. Suddenly a random screen name messages me saying horrible things to me. I responded that they should show their face instead of telling me these things online. 

Soon enough I found girls hating me and I never really knew why. I know I wasn't the prettiest, skinniest, most charming person but I had never been a trader or talked about people. I guess I was just hated because of being me. I was on the cheerleading team and there were pictures of all the girls on the wall and mine had been scribbled on. 

Eventually I told my mother. She told me to not pay attention to them because they have nothing better to live for. With her support I kept going to school knowing that it would all be over soon. I still had friends eventually there were two groups the mean girls and the other people. I didn't think school was like this but it is and it's sad that no one pays attention. All the girls who I had once called my friends had all left my side. 

Being bullied isn't fun. It's hard actually. It's even harder when you have no one to talk to. I thank god for having an amazing family, especially my mother. She would ask me everyday how things where going and eventually it got better. It got better because of a few words she told me, "If you show them that you care they will think they are winning." I wasn't being mean but I did stand up for myself. When ever they said something mean I would say something like "wow you really must be interested in my life." 

This is part one, part 2 next week! stay tuned!! 

More news!

I was thinking about this blog all last night and I have decided on something. Every Tuesday will be "Real Talk Tuesday." This will be about things that go on in my life and topics like school and bullying. Every Friday will be "Fashion Friday." This will be anything related to make up outfits and more! I am excited!!! 

M.I.A.

I know I have been missing this blog in a long time! It is now summer and I am sooo excited! I actually finished my first year in college 3 weeks ago and I have been working ever since! I've had a lot on my plate so I have been ever distracted. I wanted to occupy myself this summer I i have just made the decision of posting something random every week! I'll make it a Thursday thing. I hope I can stick to this. I have been trying to do so many things and keep up with everything. This blog will include things like make up reviews on products, my personal experiences (college, high school, etc.) and other fun things! I want something to keep me busy because I kind of miss school but I know that once I go back I'll be dying to be back home. 

Time Flies......

Is it March already? Where have I been all month???? This past month has been crazy. I had to get back on track in school and I had spring break(woohoo!?). I worked all spring break but it wasn't too bad. I got some new make up and I am testing out some products that I would like to review in the near future. For now this is an update and I need to step my game up and become an active blogger, for myself mostly. This is what I look like today! It is gorgeous in New York! Finally get to enjoy some nice weather.

.....

It has been a couple of weeks since I stopped keeping track of myself on this blog.

I was sooo caught up with the whole sorority thing and honestly, it is not for me. 

I brought out a side of me that I never knew existed. Their words meant nothing to me, but their actions explained a lot. I literally lost 10lbs because I was stressing them out. That was the freshman 15 that I had gain, but I did not lose them the healthy way. They were not the people who I thought they were and honestly I am really glad I dropped. I keep hearing, "Don't drop." "I hate quitters.", but honestly, you do not know me and my reasons for leaving and for not being able to complete this process. Remember this please:  NO ONE can tell you who to be friends with. NO ONE can tell you how to act. AND NO ONE can tell you what to do and make you feel like nothing just so you can be a part of them. That is not how you gain new friends. You gain friends by showing your great personality. And you are all beautiful no matter what anyone says. Don't ever let people bring you down, you are a person and nothing less.

---Mishella*Bella

Amazement!

Honestly right now I can't even think straight.

I've never wanted something like this.
Tonight there's a ceremony.
I'm excited.
Never in a million years did I think I would be part of a sorority.
I just clicked with the girls so much.
I'm speechless.
I cannot wait for tonight!!!

I never imagined myself in this position last year.
Let the memories begin...

On the Radio?

Today was a good day! I went with my roommate to the radio station here on campus and I must say it is very interesting. I was not thinking about going into the radio industry but it seems very interesting. I was a guest host because I am not taking the class to be a weekly host :( but I'm fine just being around. It was so much fun! I wish that class had not been full :(. I think I might just go along and join them every Thursday at 3:00 pm Eastern standard time. If you're interested google WICR they are great girls and have a lot of fun on the show and hopefully I will be popping in every few weeks! 

February! (Outfit Of The Day)

HAPPY FEBRUARY FIRST!

I have a busy month ahead of me, no time for distraction.

My focus/priorities for this month are:

Family

School

Homework

Friends

Gym

Anyways! OOTD for today....

Today was a great day in NY. It was 60 degrees, that is pretty warm for a February day!

I just paired up some dark blue jeans with a flow-like cheetah printed shirt. I wore a new jacket I bought at Target and wore brown short boots. I left my hair straight and went to school!

Venting.

I don't know how to feel about everything. I am so afraid of the way things are going to turn out in a year. Where will I be? Who will I be with? Who's going to be by my side? I am sitting in my dorm with my roommates and I really like them, honestly I do not know how college would be without them.

I stopped writing this and it is now Monday the 30th and I am sitting in Philosophy and I do not know what to do. My professor is a bit boring but says a few interesting things.

"Minds experience emotion, sensation and will."

Thats literally what he just said. I'm struggling with things about myself. I do not know what I want. I've been letting myself down a bit too much. I honestly can't wait for the summer, I'm going to get a job and work with my mother. I want to get away from everything I guess. It's hard to have the pressure to be perfect but I want to be perfect, to myself of course. But I guess we are our own worst enemy.

Me.

Mishella.

My name is Michelle. This is what my face looks like. I am not the most prettiest. I have a little confidence but these are a few of my different styles, even though they are all very similar.

Nails? Love them!

Decided that I would upload some of the nail designs I have done. These are a few of my favorites.(Excuse my face!)

Top row: Cheetah Inspiration, French Tip Twist, Green Peacock Nails

Middle row: Snowflake Nails, Some of my nail collection, Silver Crackle on Red Nail Polish

Bottom row: French Tip Nails with design, Beige Color with Gold Glitter, Yankees Inspiration

As you can tell I did these all myself. I did most of these for an event I was going to or because I just love the design. Example: The Yankees nails came up because I was going to a Yankee game. The snowflake nails came up because I wanted it to snow already, and so on.

I hate an obsession with doing my nails. I do a crappy job but it's just something that I like to do and I literally do them every 2 days. I am a loser -__- lol.

My Make Up! (and other great things!)

This is not all of my make up. I bought most of this with my money. These are just a few of my favorites right now:

Here is a lot of my stuff just scattered, I literally dropped them out of my make up bag and my train case.

My Tokidoki brushes! 

My sister got these for me for Christmas and I love them! They are so soft and soooo adorable! I would defiantly recommend these to people a bit pricey but with it. This set can be found at Sephora starting at $34.

Currently my favorite lashes!

My friend gave them to me for Christmas. I have not yet tried them, I will this weekend. I love lashes and these are beautiful, not sure how much they were but you can find these at Sephora as well.

Here are my mascaras:

Smallest to largest:

Sephora, Sephora, Urban Decay, The Falsies Volum' Express Hydrofuge in Very Black (Waterproof), The Falsies Volum' Express Flared in Blackest Black (Waterproof), The Falsies Volum' Express Black Drama in Black Drama (Waterproof), Maybelline: Lash Stiletto in Very Black.

Overall these are not too bad. The three smaller ones came with other pallets and make up stuff that I have which explains the size. They are good mascaras. I continuously use the purple ones. I love them and they work well for me. The reason I get the waterproof ones is because the hold last longer. The Stiletto mascara is new, I just got it. I hope it works well!

Eye Linerrrr!!!

Bottom to top:

Maybelline: Line Stiletto in Brownish Black, Maybelline: Line Stiletto in Blackest Black, Urban Decay: 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion, Palladio in Charcoal, Maybelline: Expert Wear in Velvet Black, Urban Decay: 24/7 Waterproof Glide-On Pencils in Eldorado, Sephora(Color unknown but I am guessing Black),  Sephora(Color unknown but I am guessing Brown), L.A. Girl: Endless in Electric Green, L.A Colors: Glitter Liner in Copperfield, L.A Colors: Glitter Liner in Night Dust, L.A Colors: Glitter Liner in Lime Light.

Gel Liners include:

E.l.f: Cream Liner in Plum Purple, E.l.f: Cream Liner in Midnight, Maybelline: Eyestudio in Blackest Black.

Huge fan of eye liner. I cannot go a day without it. These are all my favorites. I mix them up depending on the look I am going for. 

Palettes:

Right to Left:

Urban Decay: Book of Shadows IV, Urban Decay: Roller Girl Palette, BH Cosmetics: 88 Color Palette(Standard Matte Eyeshadow)

Love all of these! These are my larger palettes, I have more smaller ones but I mix the colors when I create a look.

Move in day: Back to college!

Well I moved back into the dorms for the second semester! I am soo excited! I hope this semester goes great. I need to keep up my grades and still have funn! Anyways... Moving in was a lot! I had a lot of stuff to bring back and little room to put everything, but hey, that's college dorming for you!

This is what my room aka my corner looks like! hahaa. It's okay I can manage to keep my things there!
