I am an aspiring makeup artist ready to share my knowledge with the world and to learn as much as possible from others with similar interests. I am one of the sweetest people you could meet so please introduce yourself :)
I am back from a break due to the start of the school semester and all the craziness that goes along with that. This is probably going to be one of my last winter looks seeing as it is about to be spring time. I think that this look absolutely gorgeous. It carries that classic elegance but the double wing liner gives it that edgy new-age vibe.
I am back with a much-requested glittery makeup tutorial. This is very inspired by the Christmas season. This year I am just SO excited for Christmas to return. As soon as December 1st hit I put up my mini white tree up and decorated it even (Haha!). Anyways, here are a few pictures, product list, and a video tutorial on how to recreate this look.
Face:
NYC "Sunny" bronzer
Nars "Orgasm" blush
Mac "Silver Dusk"
Lips
Milani "Classy Nude" HD Advanced lip color
Mac "Kiss Me Quick" Pro Longwear Lip Pencil
Makeup Forever "Moulin Rouge" Lip Colour Intense lipstick
MAC "Scan-Delicious" Kissable Lip Colour
Happy Holidays everyone!! No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope you spend this time with your family and friends
This year has come and gone so quickly! I want to apologize for the lack of posts. I am going through a pretty difficult time in my life. I am trying to keep myself motivated to continue blogging for you. The other night I went to a show and I wore this makeup. I had an extra hour on my hands so I decided to go all out. I would have recorded a tutorial but it was way after the sun went down! If many of you like it, I will definitely make a video teaching how to get this gorgeous holiday-inspired makeup.
Products Used:
Face
Diorskin Nude Liquid Foundation
Mac "Light" Mineralize Skinfinish Setting Powder
NYC "Sunny" Bronzer
Nars "Orgasm" Blush

Nothing! If I were to add a lipstick it would either be Mac's Creme De Nude or Makeup Forever's Rouge Artist Intense lipstick in the color Moulin Rouge
I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season!
I don't know if any of you know this but Nicki Minaj is teaming up with MAC to release a new shade to the Viva Glam line. I don't know about you but I am extremely excited! Her infamous pink lip is always talked about in the beauty world. Finally we will be able to buy a true Nicki Minaj Pink. I recreated the look that I saw in the promo pictures with Ricky Martin.
I did my best recreating the makeup she wore in this picture. I added a few of my own touches to it but it still holds that shocking green lid and bright pink lip.

Thanks so much for stopping by (: If you have any questions don't be afraid to leave a comment.
I came across this very nifty palette on hautelook. For those of you who are not familiar with that website, it is basically a site with flashsales that last 24-72 hours. They have items that are up to 90% off (only when it's a REALLY good deal). They have decent prices and shipping is usually about $5.00.
Here is an invite link in case you are interested! Click here!
Anyways, this palette caught my eyes because of the beautiful colors. When I looked up this palettes pricing I found out that it is actually on sale right now for $16.00!! That is incredible for such high quality eyeshadows.
The palette is gorgeous and the colors are so festive!! If you have a friend who is a makeup lover or you just want to have that perfect palette for any holiday party, I recommend checking this one out!
I am back with a first impressions/review on a limited edition Makeup Forever collector case. It really appealed to me because of the wide variety of products. Yes, this case is pretty dang expensive BUT if a lot of these products are ones you have thought about buying then maybe it is worth it for you. Because it is a limited editiong Sephora online exclusive it can only be found on the Sephora website.
Yes, I realize that the price seems a bit steep but for the amount of products you are receiving it is quite a steal. Also, if you ever come across discount codes to sephora, I would recommend using them for something such as this to get as much of a discount as you can. I purchased this during the Friends & Family Sale making the total $260. I also think that this would make an excellent gift for a daughter for Christmas!
To see the products in action and to hear more about this products watch my First Impressions Video!
On to the swatches!
The finish on these were very nice. They were not matte and had a slight satin finish to them. They felt very creamy and long-lasting.
I actually found that the although the aqua creams were very creamy and had a nice consistency, the application was quite blotchy when applied to the skin.
The Star Powder did not show up as white on the skin, the golden/pink opalescence is what came through.
I was very dissapointed in how unpigmented the black Aqua Eyes looked on the skin. Both the Aqua Eyes and Aqua Liner are extremely waterproof though! (:
This is a beautiful highlighter. I would recommend it for deeper skin tones. This would work well if you mixed it in with your foundation for an all over luminous glow.
