St. Patrick's Day Look!!!

St. Patrick's Day is coming up as you are probably aware of (March 17)! I thought I would get into the festive mood by doing a green and slightly gold look. I'm not even quite sure what we celebrate on St. Patrick's Day. I might want to look that up! To me, it's a day I grew up with when we dressed and ate in all green and tried to catch leprechauns. I will for sure be looking up the real meaning of the holiday. In the meantime, here is a look for the upcoming festivities!

Products Used:
-Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Rocky Mountain Green
-BH Cosmetics 88 Color Standard Shimmer Palette
-Sleek Oh So Special Palette (matte black)
-blinc Liquid Liner
-Stila Smudge Stick in Moray
-Benefit Bad Gal Lash


Happy Monday!

Purple Look for Green Eyes

My friend Julia asked me yesterday if purple really made green eyes pop. When done correctly, you can make your eyes pop with any color, but purple in itself is known to help green eyes without much effort. If you guys like this, I can probably do looks and tips for different colored eyes. Just let me know! I ended up doing a dark smokey purple for this and I hope this answers your question, Julia!

If you look at a color wheel, red is the main complimenting color to a true green. I don't think you really want to go around with a red lid, but hey, what ever tickles you pink. So, other colors that go hand in hand with green are purples and peachy pinks. In person with this look, my eyes look super green and definitely pop more than they would with another color. Another thing to keep in mind, I went over my waterline and tightline with a black liner. That also added to the popping effect. This trick goes for all eye colors, not just green. I hope you found this helpful and let me know if you want to see more looks like this!

Cupcake Nails

Today I felt a burst of creativity as I was sitting at home. I've always wanted to do some cupcake nails and I had the day off, so I thought why not? They took forever and as always, I ran into complications, but what would nail art be without a little bit of frustration?

I ended up happy with the result and encourage you to try this out if you have some time and PATIENCE.  With that, I hope you all have a good start to your weekend!

I had a little fun with the scrabble pieces today too!!

Spring is Coming!!!

As you all know, Spring is on its way! I was inspired by Nikkie Tutorials to do a blue/green/yellow look to get hyped for the upcoming season. Spring is going to be so fun for makeup. I'll be able to pull off some crazy looks and colors. This week, I've also had finals so I thought this look would help pull me out of my finals funk. It worked and I'm ready to take my Spanish test tomorrow!!! Word of advice, when studying for a huge test, don't focus all your time on just work. You need to be able to squeeze breaks in for creative stuff or even just Facebook time. You won't get so tense. That is what I have realized after having studied for finals this year and thought I would share it with you all, even if some of you may be finished with school. Anywho, enough of my rambling! Here's the look!

Products Used:
-Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
-MAC Steamy
-NYX Jumbo Pencil in Baby Blue and Rocky Mountain Green

Happy Valentines Day!

To anyone celebrating, either with someone or not, I hope you all have an amazing Valentine's Day! I put together a quick look for you just as a thank you for sticking around this year and I really appreciate it. I've always really loved Valentine's Day. It might be the fact that my birthday is just three days off and I get really pumped for that. Anyways, everyone have a fan-freaking-tabulous day/(my birthday)week!

And I'm Back... Again Product Overview/Super Bowl Look

As the title suggests, I am back to my blogging ways. I had a couple stressful weeks recently and just didn't even have the energy to blog. But fret no longer (because I know you were) I am here! So, (enough of my big-headed-ness) to start this post off, I wanted to share a few pics of my most recent purchase. There has been a lot of hype about this product lately, so when I was at my Target the other day, I thought I would try it out. It is Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple. Although I have not yet done a look with it, you can expect to see it in my "Products Used" section soon.

Left; product alone, Right; product layered with a purple shadow from my BH palette, Top; shadow alone.

As you can see, it sure adds a lot of extra pow to your color, which is always good. I haven't had much time with this product really to say too much about it, but I do like what I see just from swatching it.

And, I thought I would show you all a quick peek at my Super Bowl look from yesterday.

Nothing too special, but I thought it was fun! I have a lot planned for my blog, so get pumped everyone! I can tell you I recently received an award called the Liebster Award which I will tell you more about very soon. It is something I need to work on and will probably be my next post. I am super excited to be working on my blog again after my two week (or so) break! Thank you for sticking around.


Always,
Britta
