Lover.ly: Inspirations For An Autumn Wedding

Hello beauties and Happy Halloween! I hope you are all having a spooktacular day! But, as the weather turns a bit chillier and the leaves begin to fall to the ground, and love is in the air, what better time of year then to have a beautiful Autumn wedding. 

I love the fall season and the nice weather that it brings. People are falling in love, getting Pumpkin Spice lattes at their local Starbucks, and cuddling with their loved ones. Many, choose to have an Autumn wedding (I am definitely going to be that person) and brides are looking for inspirations on what to wear and how to wear their makeup. 

Although I'm single and would love a man to snuggle with, I do love to think about my future wedding from time to time. I was recently contacted by a representative (Hello Carolyn!) at Lover.ly (which is a website that helps with wedding planning and it is amazing! Brides, you should definitely check this website out) and was asked to create makeup inspirations for their beautiful gowns. 

So, challenge accepted! Click on read more and check out my makeup ideas for each wedding gown.

September 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag: Street Style

Hello beauties and welcome to another month of Ipsy! Haha I know it's October and I'm super late talking about my September Ipsy Glam Bag but I have a good reason. School kills all my free time. I have written so many essays these past few weeks that I was just tired of writing. But I was staring at my Ipsy bag and I was just like girl, you need to just get it over and done with because I've been enjoying the products I received in this bag. 

The theme of Ipsy for the month of September is Street Style. The bag came in a metallic silver pouch with gun metal colored spikes lining the top. It's a very simple bag which I really appreciate. The bag came with five beauty items as per usual and I'm pretty happy with what I got for this month.

So let's get into this bag!

App Review: MakeupSocial

Hello everybody! Today I have an interesting post to blog about and this is something that hasn't been done on Amaryllis Living. 

We were approached by email by the owner of a cellphone app called MakeupSocial to check it out. As makeup and beauty lovers, we were super intrigued because for one we'd never heard of it and second it would be fun to check out a beauty app because we don't use any beauty apps at all. So, of course we replied back and immediately downloaded MakeupSocial. 

MakeupSocial is a free app that you can get on the app store for IPhone. I'm not sure if it's on the Android...yet but from the research I did I don't think it is on the Android. Now here's a brief description of the app that I found on the iTunes store.

Makeupsocial is the fun new social network for beauty. 

Get unbiased beauty advice, reviews and collect beauty products into your beautyshelf whilst stalking and recommending beauty products to your friends, family and beauty lovers. 

We have tailored the entire beauty experience in this app such as the reviews, advice and photos to your very own beauty profile. Find a product to suit your skin type, age and skin tone from other people who are similar to you.

I love my apps (who else is obsessed with the Kim Kardashian Hollywood game?!)  and when I saw the description of MakeupSocial, I got super excited. I immediately thought this would be a great way to connect with other beauties and participate more in the beauty community as well. 

For this app review, I'll have a specific breakdown of what I look for in liking and keeping an app on my phone. We'll talk accessibility and ease, features, design, and any cons I may have with this app.
