Gravity by Sara Bareilles. It gives me chills.

Happy Wednesday Dolls!
How are all of you doing? The bf was craving cheesy scrambled eggs with ham so I made him some and I’m having a classy dinner of Lucky Charms, lol!
If you’ve been reading for a while, you know my posts are slow Monday through Thursday and that’s because of class! I’m up for work at 6 am, get out of work at 5 and head straight to school…which ends at 10 most of the time. I’m too tired to write on these days, so I’ll have to plan posts ahead of time!
Today’s post is dedicated to the color purple. I love that it can be so soft in lavender and then go all the way to the deepest, richest plums. Purple makes me think of luxury, lavishness, and depth.

Pardon the dry alien hands, I had used acetone and it makes my hands look weird until I wash them 😛

I used the following colors on my eyes:
Sonia Kashuk’s Purple Velvet shadow on the lid, just past the crease
MAC’s Nocturnelle eyeshadow blended into the outer corners of the lid
L’Oreal Violet Volt HIP Chrome Liner along the bottom lashes
MAC’s Dazzlelight as a brow highlight
MAC’s Lingering Brow Pencil
Revlon Liquid Liner
Stila Eye Kajal in Onyx
Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

I’m obsessed with this color right now! What’s your current fave?

Counting down to Spring!

Hi Lovelies!

How are you weeks coming along? I was ok with being in lazy mode from Superbowl Sunday :-). Speaking of, go Saints! I was totally rooting for them because I have a huge crush on Drew Brees lol. I spent the day at my friend Dan’s house with all of my friends; lots of food, laughs, and a cute puppy named Pepper.

I did a quick peachy-gold eye for Sunday to match my sherbet orange nails (Tart Deco from Essie), here it is:

Items used:
My Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette, the colors I used have little white dots next to them.

A burned orange with shimmer on the lid up to the crease.
A faded gold with shimmer along the crease.
A champagne with shimmer as a brow highlight.
MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy on the waterline
NYX eye pencil in 24 Karet along lower lashlines
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black along the top Lashes
Stila Major Lash Mascara in Black
MAC Lingering Brow Pencil

What did you do over the weekend?

Took this on my way home today, I love sunsets in the winter!

Hello Dolls!

How are you all doing? My week’s going along pretty slow, maybe because I’m looking forward to my MAC master class tomorrow night and have been waiting for it for 3 weeks now lol.

Here’s a smokey brown look I did this weekend:

You start by drawing a line with matte black shadow, stop before you get to the inner corners of your eyes.

Then you blend a dark brown matte shadow over the black, just past your crease.

Take a lighter matte brown shadow with a fluffy blending brush and blend along and past the crease.

It should look like this.

Line your upper lashes. I do winged liner because my eye shape looks funny if it just stops at the outer corners. Take a matte bone colored shadow and blend along your brow as a highlight. Then take a shimmery white shadow and fluff it into the inner corners of your eyes.

Now blend the black and brown shadows together and smudge them along your lower lashline. If you like, also line the waterlines of your eyes with black pencil.

Add mascara and you’re done! I went back and added a little more dark brown on the lid to really make the color show, but you don’t have to.

This is how it looks from the side/eyes closed.

After doing my hair, the whole look.

Products used:
Eyes:
Coastal Scents 88 palette black shadow
MAC Embark eyeshadow
MAC Wedge eyeshadow
MAC Mylar eyeshadow
MAC Dazzlelight eyeshadow
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner in Black
CG Lashblast mascara in Black
Stila Eye Kajal in Onyx

Face:
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + foundation
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
Cargo Blue-Ray Blush/Highlighter

Lips:
MAC Pretty Plush Plushglass

How is your week coming along?

Happy Monday Muchachas Bonitas (pretty ladies)!

Trying to catch my breath! I started class today and headed to the gym afterward…I wish I had that pretty flush that some girls get after working out, I’m just red :-/. Oh well, it will be worth it!

I did some shopping with my best friends this past Sunday and did a really fast eye that the MAC makeup artist said it made her think of a parakeet lol, she said she wanted to try it! Side note: I signed up for my first MAC master class!!

Here’s the look 🙂

Products Used:
Eyes:
MAC Paint Pot in Moss Scape
MAC Sumptuous Olive eyeshadow
MAC Claire de Lune eyeshadow
Bare Escentuals eyeshadow in True Gold

Stila Eye Kajal in Onyx
Covergirl Lashblast mascara in blackest black
MAC Espresso eyeshadow for brows

Face:
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

Start by putting a green base on your lid, up to the crease.

Take green eyeshadow and fill in your eyelids, a bit past the crease.

Blend a champagne shadow along the brow and soften the lines from the green shadow.

Use the green shadow and blend it along the lower lashline. Take some gold shadow and blend it into the inner corners of your eyes.

Line along your upper lash line with liquid or pencil.

Line your upper and lower waterlines.

Add mascara, fill your brows, and you’re done!

No full face pics, I forgot to take one!

I’m off to bed, I have work in 8 hours! I hope all of you girlies have a fab week, I’ll be posting reviews on a new foundation and Lush’s BIG shampoo.

Hi Pretty Ladies!

How’s your Saturday coming along? I’m full of chinese food, watching the Cowboys game, and texting my bf updates on the score while he’s at work. It’s been a laaaazy day today, slept in until noon and have been in yoga pants and a hoodie all day. Ah, relaxing is awesome!

Anyway, I did a really easy smokey eye for work yesterday and wanted to share.

Products used:
Eyes:
Benefit F.Y…Eye! Primer
MAC Night Divine eyeshadow (gunmetal grey)
MAC Silver Ring eyeshadow (satin silver)
MAC Mylar eyeshadow (bone colored, not shimmery)
MAC Dazzlelight eyeshadow (shimmery off white)
Revlon Colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
Stila Eye Kajal in Onyx
Sigma SS224 crease brush
Studio Tools medium shadow brush
MAC 217 pencil brush
Brows: filled with MAC Espresso eyeshadow

Face:
MAC Studio Sculpt concealer in NW15
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+ in 20
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium
Smashbox Charm blush

Lips:
MAC Ample Pink plushglass

Start with a primer, and use the gunmetal color on your lid up to the crease.

Blend, blend blend! It should look like this.

Take a fluffy crease brush and blend the lighter silver into the crease and blend.

It will look like this

Clean off and use the same fluffy brush to blend a bone, matte, eyeshadow all along the brow. Make sure to soften any harsh lines from the dark colors on your lid.

It should be soft 🙂

Take a white-ish shadow with a little more shimmer and put it right under the arch of your brows. A single rebel hair made its way into the pic…

Also blend some into the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up. Another hair wanted to be featured in the tutorial lol

Line along the top lashes. It’s up to you how thick/thin you want it, I also added a little wing to the end for more of a cat eye effect.

Take a black pencil and line your upper waterline. Hello crazy eye!

Also line your lower waterline. Don’t stab yourself in the eye like I did, it wont feel good…

Now take some more of the gunmetal shadow and blend it along your lower lashline.

Add mascara and you’re done!

Here’s the finished eyes and face. My bangs kept getting in my face everytime I took a picture, I hate when they act out lol.

Are there any colors you would like for me to use in future posts?

Hope the rest of your weekend is awesome!
