Out at Sea

  Today I decided to branch out a little and use some blues which is a color I don't find myself using too often. It's always fun for me to do something different just because I never know how it's going to turn out. Turns out I love working with blue! I really like how it came out and I know I'll be using blue more often. For this look, the key is the base. After I primed my eyes, I covered my lid with a black eyeliner. That's what gave the look it's depth, kind of like an ocean which is what I was going for. I hope you like the look just as much as I do!

-Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
-Wet n Wild  Coloricon pencil in Black Black

Back with Another Rainbow Look

Hello lovelies! Yes, I realize I've been MIA lately so I thought I would come back with a fun, bright look. I recently went to IMATS LA (which was amazing!!!) and I did pick up some new products while I was there. For those of you makeup geeks like me who are interested in going to IMATS, I urge you to go. It was so much fun and for those who may be a bit confused on what IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) is, it's basically one big trade show where every makeup company you can think of comes and sets up their own booth. Most of them are selling products really cheap where others are just there to get their name out. Not only was there beauty type makeup but special effects makeup as well. It can get pretty crazy and packed, but I only went on the Sunday instead of both Saturday and Sunday which I think helped with the lines. The most exciting part of it for me was meeting one of my favorite youtubers Leesha, or Xsparkage. It was unreal getting to see her in person just because I've been watching her on my computer for years. I also got to see Cora, or Vintageortacky, again! That was fun for me because she recognized me from her meet-up I went to last year. So, anyway, those of you interested in going, I highly recommend you go at least once. Alright, enough of my rambling! Here's my look for you guys today.
