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!

Always,

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
-BH Cosmetics 88 Standard Shimmer Palette
-Sleek Oh So Special Palette (matte black)
-Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Liner in Siren
-MAC False Lashes Mascara

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,

Happy New Year!

Sorry I've been gone for so long. I'm not really sure what happened, but I will be back to blogging. I hope you all had happy holidays and a fabulous new year. I know I did. Over the break, I did very few looks but did get some new products that I hope to share with you all soon. But, for now, I'm going to move on to the look. I'm not so sure how I feel about it. The bottom liner, I thought was cool, but for the rest of it.... yeah. I'll show it to you anyway!

Keep checking in for more posts and products! Thanks for stopping by!

Feelin' in a Peacock Kinda Mood

This weekend was just a peacock weekend for me. I guess I just felt a burst of bird energy. Vintageortacky's Cora had done a peacock mask look during Halloween and I thought I would try it out. The next day, I did a much simpler look using the same colors. Since I did them within days of each other, I thought I would put them into one post. So, here it is!

Please ignore the untamed eyebrows. I wasn't planning on posting this until now. Inspiration by Vintageortacky.

My other peacock interpretation. Products that I used: Too Faced Shadow Insurance, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Rocky Mountain Green, Urban Decay 24/7 in Zero, MAC False Lashes Mascara, BH Cosmetics 88 Color Standard Shimmer Palette.

Smokey Bronze

A few days ago I decided to do an inspired look by a magazine cover. That didn't work out too well, so I transformed it into this. It's a more daring look that isn't super dark. I didn't use very many products which makes it a lot easier to achieve on your own. Of course, don't go out and buy it because I used it. Use what you have and make it your own. Now, onto the pictures!

Products Used:
-Makeup Forever Aqua Cream in #12
-Sleek Oh So Special (my favorite palette in the whole, wide world!)
-Random brown drugstore liner
-mark. scanda-lash mascara

I have some tutorials planned for next week, so keep checking in! I hope you guys have a fantabulous weekend!

Always,

Outfit/Eye of the Day!

Today was such a memorable and amazing day! I got to meet my #1 most influential and inspiring makeup lover, Cora (Vintage or Tacky). She was glowing with her beauty and was just a fun to be around! As a lot of you know, Cora was the first one who got me interested in makeup and it has stuck with me ever since. I watch her videos religiously and loooove all of her tutorials. I thought I would share what I wore to the meet n' greet she had!

Top: Forever 21, Belt: Francessca's, Jeans (Meks), Booties: Steve Madden

Here's a rough idea of the makeup I wore. Sine I did it in the car, I wasn't able to do any liner. (We were kinda in a rush!) Lid: MAC All That Glitters, Outer Crease: MAC Sable. For mascara, I used Covergirl's Lash Blast Fusion. (Sorry for the not so great pic!)

I had such a great time today, so thank you Cora to the moon and back! You are the best!

Eye Look of the Day

Here is a look that is slowly but surely making it's way back; doubled liner. I've seen it popping up more recently and thought I would throw together an Eye of the Day for it.

For the blue, I just used a couple eye shadows slightly wet and gel liner for the black. In the waterline I have MAC's Powerpoint Pencil in Engraved. Use any mascara you would like! I was going for more of a sheer blue, but if you wanted a bolder look, you could try a blue gel liner.

Britta

Eyes of the Day

Here are a few pics from today's eye look. (My first attempt at a somewhat cut crease.)

What I used: Sleek Oh So Special palette, Cargo eyeliner in Bronze, MAC All That Glitters Shadow, Ulta eyeshadow in Milk Chocolate, MAC False Lashes mascara in False Black (For a quick review on this mascara click here)

I thought this Eye of the Day would be a bit quick show and tell of a simple natural look. I can do a tutorial on it if you guys are interested. Just comment bellow!

Always,
