Simple Smokey Eyes With Urban Decay Naked Basics

As promised, I am finally posting the exclusive tutorial using the UD naked basics palette. I love this palette; it saves me so much time in the morning. I can create beautiful neutral looks or a base for my look with it. Keep reading to see how I accomplished this look!   Begin by priming the eyes with a yellow base. This will complement any eye color. Cut the crease for a distinct line. Make sure to use a smaller brush for added precision. Line the upper lash line and waterline with a matte black. I decided to use a powder instead of a pencil or liquid eyeliner for a softer, smoked out look. The last step is the lashes. I used my triple mascara technique so I wouldn't have to use false lashes. Start by applying a...

Bright Eyes For Spring + Marilyn Monroe Trick

Happy Spring! Spring is the perfect time to start bringing out the brighter colors. I wore this look on a shopping trip with some friends and received a ton of good feedback on it!

Haul & New Picture Background

Is it just me, or is the thrill of shopping the best feeling in the world? I am back again with yet another haul. This one is different than most because there is something new about the pictures. I attempt to deliver the best quality of pictures I can, but it usually involves a white background. These are slightly tweaked compared to my old ones! Enjoy the view! :) The first product I purchased was MAC's Antiqued Diamond Paint Pot. I have had my eye on this for a while but never got the chance to buy it. Expect some tutorials coming soon! I was looking through my collection as I reorganized it and realized that I was missing a key staple. Yes, I did not have Satin Taupe in my collection (Cue the shocked gasps). Can we...

Spring Cleaning

Happy Spring! I was going through my collection yesterday and noticed that there were quite a few products that I haven't used in a while. I typically reorganize my collection every few weeks; it is one of the few things that I can successfully keep in order! I rearrange the products, but I have never taken out everything all at once. And that doesn't include my MAC individual eyeshadows. I thought that it would be easy... I was wrong. It may have been simpler if I didn't create one of my "oh so ambitious" plans. Like I said before, there are a lot of products that I don't use because I forget about them. I knew that there had to be another way to keep track of the products, so I decided to just go for the most...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I was messing around in the kitchen and found a box of crayons. I saw the non toxic, paraben free claims on the box. This made me think, which is never a good sign... Plenty of pigment, no harsh chemicals... It sounded like a lipstick! Keep reading to see how I attempted this! Begin by collections your materials. You will need coconut oil for the base, olive oil for the shine, and crayons. Also make sure to have a spoon handy. The first color I wanted to create was a soft coral. To get the perfect combination, I started off with Tickle Me Pink. The other color that I added in was Burnt Orange. This gave me a mixture of cool and warm tones.   Next, light an old candle. I would recommend using...

Purple and Pink Pop

Hello Again! If you saw my latest haul, then you may know I purchased a few things from MAC. I picked up a color that I did not have: Vibrant Grape. This beautiful shade of purple is so much fun to work with. I loved the opaque finish that this product had. Keep reading to see how I created this look! Start by applying Vibrant Grape to the lid with a flat shader brush. I love how buildable this color is; you can really work it up to the opacity that is needed.
