Vintage Look

Hello Readers! Perfectly Pink and I are obsessed with a bold red lip, and I love how it just really pops. So I toned down the eye makeup, so that the red lips pop even more, and when I was done I realized it look vintage! Like in those old movies... First, prep your eye lid with urban Decay's Primer Potion. I like to use this in all of my looks, because it keeps you eye makeup on forever, or until you take it off! Next, take Orb from Mac Cosmetics and put it all over the lid. Its a really light tan color, its great for a simple base.It can also be put all over the lid with a swipe of mascara to create a cute look that's easy if your running late. It's a lighter color, which isthing that I love about this look is that it starts with a really...

Two Step Eyes + My Quick Tips

Hey Everyone!      I have come across my new go-to color for a soft, natural eye, and it is Mac's Cork. This soft brown is amazing with any look, but I have been loving it on its own. Typically I am all for the looks that have fifty steps, but this is so pretty by itself, I don't want to mess it up! Cork is a really soft camel brown, and it is so easy to apply. I just buff this in all over my lid with a 217 and then create a little more definition in the crease by applying this with a 219. By using only one color, it looks like I have spent hours creating the perfect look. The key to any makeup look is to add depth to the eyes, and this is the perfect color for that. Finish this off with a little mascara and you...

How To Create A Fast, Flawless Face

Hey Everyone!      I have been working on a quick routine for a fresh, flawless face, and I think I have finally found a solution! I have always used a quick spritz of water on my brush for any full coverage foundations, but I never knew it could be so easy to create a perfect canvas within seconds, just be using water. This is my favorite way to stay matte throughout the day without it looking too flat. My first step is to prime your face using your favorite primer. Mine is Smashbox Photo Finish, it is a little more expensive but it will last forever. This is still in the old packaging, but it is the original formula. I apply this really quickly with a 189 brush, you only need a quick layer for this step. Now...

How to do a French Manicure!

Hello Readers!    I love doing french manicures..... They look amazing and super hard to do! But truly with a little practice it is easy! You will look like you went to a salon and spent lots of cash getting it done, but really you have done it for barely anything at home! If you do these French Manicures, you will be sure to get lots of compliments! First, clean your nails even if you have no nail polish on them. This will just prep your nails, and make sure they are super clean. Because with these french manicures, even the slightest dot will show up. Next, take a bright white nail polish and draw a thin white line across the top of your nail. Try to make the line very round, like a half circle almost. Also,...

My Favorite Dark/Bold Lip Products

Hey Everyone!      Glitter Girl and I have a new obsession: bold lip colors. Not only do they photograph beautifully, but you can apply these pretty quickly to pull your look together. I would wear any of these with my neutral eyes look, or any other natural makeup. I swatched the color to the left of the product, so check those out as well! My first pick is more of a darker lip, it is Mac's Morning Coffee lip pencil. This is a deep reddish-brown, and it will work with any skin tone. You could top this off with a sheer neutral gloss, or you could make this even deeper with something more opaque. This is a pro long-wear lip pencil, this seriously stays on all day without budging. I like to apply my EOS lip balm to the...

Back To School Accessories

Hey Everyone!       Today's post is on my favorite accessories to kick off the school year with. These are great to add on to your school wardrobe and your everyday one. I have been finding a lot of neutrals for fall that will work with any outfit, so I hope this will give you some inspiration in your back to school style! Tote Bag: My first tip is to add some different textures to your outfits. I decided to use an ostrich print bag for an everyday tote. This is huge, so I can carry anything I need to with ease. This has braided handles and security clasps on the edges to lock into place when you are on the go, so it is the perfect option for the girl on the go. The Basic Belt: My next must have...

Golden Glow Eyes

Hey everyone!      This is my final back to school makeup tutorial, so I thought I would base this on more of a golden natural look. This would be great for an everyday neutral eye, and with a little more mascara, you can easily take this from day to night. This look also works really well with a lot of different lip colors, so let's get started! Base Color: I first used Bare Study paint pot by Mac all over my lid to create a shimmery gold base. I applied this with a 217 brush and blended up to get a really soft wash of color. This can really brighten up your eyes, so if you want a basic look, you could just use this as your everyday primer. Lid Color: I wanted a gold color that was opaque and blendable,...

The Secret To Silky Smooth Hair

Hello Readers!      I am always looking for a way to get my hair super soft and silky. One of my favorite ways was to straighten my hair at night, and then go to sleep and when I would wake up the next morning the natural oils would have gotten in my hair so it was silky and straight. I still love to do it that way, because it does work the best so far, but I have also found an amazing shampoo!      Finesse makes amazing shampoo's that make your extremely smooth and soft! It also adds alot of volume to my hair. My hair tends to get very dry... So I use Finesse's moisturizing shampoo. It is hydrating, and I could not be happier with it! I don't even use a conditioner with this, because it is kind of like...
