New Years Makeup

Hey guys!

I wanted to do something for New Years Eve and I came up with this:

It is kind of a glittery smoky eye look. I used my Wet n Wild I love Matte palette. I just broke the cable that connects my camera to my computer :( so I could not take a picture of the palette. Here is a picture that I got from http://kawaiibarbie.blogspot.com which I randomly found online.

All I used from it was the white and the black shadows so you can use any you have if you don't own this palette :)

1. First prime you lids
2. Then use Nix Jumbo pencil in Cottage Cheese or Milk all over your lid up to the crease.
3. Get the white eyeshadow and put it all over your lid and crease
4. Place the black shadow on your outer corner and a little into your crease. Now all you have to do is blend it really well so it is darker ( black) at the outer corner and more of a gray as you get to the middle of your lid and 1/3 into your crease. Start with not so much black then build it up as you blend. 
5. Make sure you leave it really white by your inner corner. 
6. Then get a shimmery white shadow and put it on your brow bone. 
7. Get Wet n Wild's Mega Shimmer in White lotus and put it all over your lid and crease. 
8. Line your upper lash line and water lines with a black eyeliner
9. Use a shimmery white liner from for the bottom lash line 
10. Put mascara on or use fake lashes for a more dramatic look

Findings: 

• Elf's Health Glow Shimmer powder is a pretty good dupe for LORAC's Perfectly Lit in Spotlight and Bare Mineral's Flawless Radiance. It is a great highlighter and it was only 3 dollars and came with a brush ( not a good brush but it does the job. It is a mini kabuki brush) 
• Urban Decay's Book of Shadows IV is on sale at Sephora and Urban Decay. Its $44 now instead of 60 something dollars. 
• Philosophy products have also been on sale for a while at Sephora. They even have some of their eye creams on sale at the Sephora inside JcPenneys ( not sure about the free standing Sephora store)

I love Blue!!

Hey guys!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while :( I have been super busy because of the holidays and work.
Someone gave me a picture and asked me if I could do something like it. It is not the same but it is similar. I will post the picture below as well. If you have any looks that you have seen and would like me to do just email me the picture :)

Here is the picture she sent me. As you can see it is not the same color blues.

To accomplish that I used my Blue had me at Hello palette by Wet n Wild.

1. I primed my lids with my Urban Decay primer
2. Then I put the teal shadow all over my lids up to the crease ( but as you can see on the pic, the inner corner does not have a lot of blue, it has white) 
3. I got the lighter blue shadow ( the one right under the teal) and put that on my crease ( on 2/3 of it, don't cover the teal near your inner corner) 
4. I used the darker blue on my outer corner and a little into my crease. I also put some of it on the outer 1/3 of my lower lash line. Make sure you blend it really well. 
5. I got the shimmery white ( the first shadow on the left) and put that all over my inner corner up to my brow bone. I also used some of it on the inner 1/3 of my lower lash line
6. For the middle 1/3 of your lower lash line I used the teal shadow
7. I lined my upper lash line with a black liner as well as my upper and lower water line. 
8. Don't forget your mascara :)

I hope you liked it!!!

Blue eyeliner!

Hey guys!!!


I am loving this blue eyeliner from Sephora. I got it not long ago and I can't get over how bright and cool it looks.

It looks brighter in the picture than in real life. It looks lighter blue in the picture but it is a dark blue.

What I did was:

• Primed my lid and got a gold shadow (you can use any) and put it all over my lid and crease. 
• Then I got a darker gold shadow and put it on my crease. 
• I put my blue Sephora liquid liner all over my lash line and made a cat eye 
• Then on above that I used my Wet n Wild white liner and then on top of it my Sephora Fleshy Silver pencil liner. I also used that on the bottom lash line. 
• To finish it off I put my black liner on the upper and lower water line. I put my mascara on as well and as you can see some of the blue got on my lashes and the mascara did not cover all of it. It kinda always happens to me but you can't really notice unless you were looking at it closely. 

I hope you liked it :) I wanted to try something different and I think it turned out pretty good!

Have a great day!

Remington Curling Wand

Hello!!!!!

There is so much I have to share with you guys!!!! I have been working so much so I have not had time to post as often. Today I am going to talk about the Remington Curling Wand.

It looks like this:

I got that image from Target.com


This is great because it makes your curls look real since its thicker at the beginning then thin at the end. Also you can make your curl so many different sizes. They can be really tight or loose. Another thing that I loved about it is that it I don't have to straighten my hair to get nice curls. I have wavy hair and if I just air dry my hair and use this curler it still looks great. The other curler I had I always had to straighten my hair beforehand for the curls to look good. It also does not take long at all, it takes me about 20 minutes to do my hair and I have a lot of hair. You can get it for around $20 at Target, so it is a great price for a good curler.

The con is that you have to use your hand to wrap the hair around it and there is no clamp to hold the hair so if you are not careful you can burn your fingers. It does come with a heat protective glove though so you can use that :)

Here is a picture of how my hair looked.

If you want a tutorial let me know :)

Hello Beautiful!!!!!

Here is the look for today. I think it will be a great look for Christmas. 

Here is what I used

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this look. I will tell you how I did it then I will tell you how you can change it.

1. I primed my lids and put MAC's Woodwinked shadow all over my lids up to the crease
2. Then I got that light brown on my Urban Decay's Naked palette and put in all over my crease to soften the look. 
3. Then I used color number 2 (sorry there is no name for it and some of my shadows fell so I had to glue it back together and they are not in the place they used to be) on my Coastal Scents 88 Warm palette and put it on top of the light brown all over my crease. 
4. I got shadow number 1 and put it on my outer corner all and half way into my crease ( this is the shimmery burgundy color on the palette, its pretty unique and pretty). 
5. Then I got the shadow Virgin (shimmery white/silver) from my Urban Decay palette and put that on my brow bone. 
6. You can't really see it in the picture but my eyeliner is pretty thick. I used a black liner only on my top lash line only to keep the look simple. 
7. Don't forget mascara. I used my Tarte Lash primer and mascara. 
8. On my cheeks I used two things that I am really liking at the moment. One is the Bare Escentuals all over face color in Glee ( I like how it looks with my brownish-red hair) and on top of that I used Lorac Tantalizer which I am loving! The reason why I used it on top of  Glee is because Tantalizer is not that dark its more of a bronzy highliter. It gives you a really nice bronzed glow. 

So if you don't have the Urban Decay Naked palette or the MAC shadow you can actually just use your Coastal Scents 88 warm palette if you have that. There are colors that look almost like the MAC and Urban Decay ones in that palette. 

I hope you liked it!!!!

Icy Eyes

Hey guys!!!!!

Here is the look for today

I used Wet n Wild's Blue Had me at Hello Palette

1. I primed my lids with my Urban Decay primer
2. I used Nix's Jumbo pencil in Baby blue all over my lid right up to the crease
3. Then I got the lightest blue shadow (baby blue) and put it on top of the Nix jumbo pencil
4. I got the silver shadow and put that all over my crease
5. To finish it off I put the teal shadow on my outer corner and half way into my crease. Then I got the shimmery white shadow that says brow bone on it and put that on my brow bone. 
6. On top of the baby blue I added Wet n Wild's mega shimmer in white lotus to give it some more sparkles. Make sure you pat it on because if you don't there will be fall out. 
7. For the liner I used Urban Decay's 24/7 in zero on my water line and on my upper lash line then used my Wet n Wild gel liner in black to do the wings. On my bottom lash line I used a metallic blue liner, or you can also use the shame shadow you put on your lid. 
8. Don't forget your favorite mascara :) 

Hope you liked it

Neutural Cat eye look

Hey guys!!!!!!!!!

This is the look for today

 Here is the palette I used:

It is from Cargo and I got it on sale at Sephora for 10 dollars during the black Friday sale :)

I just followed what it told me to do

1.  I primed my lids with my Urban decay primer
2. I put the 2nd color from the top all over my lid
3. I got the light brown and put that all over my crease
4. I used the darker brown on the outer corner of my eyes and half way into the crease. Then I put lightest color on my brow bone. 
5. For my eyeliner I used two different ones. I used Urban decay 24/7 in Zero all over my upper lash line and on my upper and lower water line. 
6. To make the winged look I used Wet n Wild's gel liner in black. I am not that good doing the winged look and I found something that has really helped me get a nice line when using gel liner instead of liquid liner. 

I used this eyeliner brush 

As you can see, one end of it is really pointy so it helps me get a precise line. If you are good with liquid liners you can use that instead but I prefer gel when doing my winged look. I got this brush from Tarte, it came in one of the kits I got. I think they came with any gel liner you get from Tarte. 

Ps: sorry about my hair. It looks really crazy in the pictures haha.

Teal and Brown!

Hey guys!!!

I was playing with my Coastal Scents Smokey Eye palette and came up with this look

Here is the palette I used 

1. I primed my lids with my Urban Decay shadow primer
2. I got the matte teal eye shadow (1) and put it all over my lid, right up to the crease line.
3. I got the shimmery green (2) eye shadow and put that on my inner corner and all over my crease. 
4. Then used the dark brown (3) on my crease on top of that green but I only went about 2/3 of the way in. With a flat eye shadow brush I got the brown and winged the look a little ( from the outer corner of my eye I drew a vertical line pointing towards the end of my eyebrows. I drew it a little past my crease and filled it in with the brown shadow).  
5. I used color #4 on my brow bone 
6. Then I got a shimmery teal eyeliner and used it on my lower lash line ( only half way in). On the other half I used the same color from my inner corner.  So there is a light shimmery green shadow and a shimmery teal liner on the other half. 
7. I lined my upper lash line with black eyeliner and also put that on my lower and upper water line. 
8. Then I got my Tarte lash primer and put that on.  On top of that I put my Tarte lighs, camera, lashes mascara. 
9. For my cheeks I used a pink blush and a pink lip gloss on my lips.

I hope you liked it! Don't Forget to look at the Giveaway post :)
