It's Fantastic To Be Plastic: A Halloween Tutorial

Hey Everyone!I seriously thought I had more time to get these Halloween tutorials out, but it is coming up too soon! I had to narrow the tutorials down to one, so I apologize in advance for the looks that have not been posted. I have always loved the "Barbie" look, so I had to do my dream tutorial! Keep reading to see my Barbie transformation. I wanted to start with a white/pink base that will open up my eyes and make them appear larger. I decided on MAC's Let's Skate paint pot because it is a gorgeous golden pink that is full of glitter! How could it become any more Barbie-ish? Apply any shimmery color all over your lid and stop it right when you get to the crease. You can really use any colors that you want, but I decided on the pinks and...

MAC Starter Kit: Eyeshadows

Hey Everyone!     In my last post, I showed you how I organize my eyeshadows. I have some crazy colors in my collection, but I have my everyday neutrals that I always come back to. If I had to pick my top MAC eyeshadows, these would be my top choices to start your collection off with! My First favorite is Shroom. This can be used to highlight your brow bone/cheekbone, and it is a beautiful lid color. Everyone needs to have a base color in their "eyeshadow wardrobe" and Shroom has to be my favorite. How I wear it: I typically use this as a wash of color or a brow bone highlight.  If you favor matte colors over shimmers, you will love Blanc Type. The matte squared texture is extremely soft; it lasts...

Eyeshadow Organization: Featuring My MAC Obsession

Hey Everyone! If you have been reading this blog for a while, you might know that I am a little obsessed with MAC Cosmetics. Okay, a lot. MAC has been a long time favorite of mine because of their rich lipsticks, highly pigmented eyeshadows, and mineralized skin finishes, but most of all, their huge range of colors. MAC is more then a beauty brand, I look at it as an inspiring work of art. I used to keep my potted eyeshadows cramped up in a drawer, but I never used them much. In my makeup collection post that I wrote forever ago, I used this method of displaying them. With my setup, I can display the colors while keeping them organized! Starting at the top of the nail polish rack I have my main palettes. I usually keep a fun colored one...

Amazing Adele

Hello Readers! Adele is one of the most gifted and amazing singers in the world. If you want to be like Adele, It would be almost impossible to copy her singing voice, but you can copy her makeup look! This is a tutorial on how to do the look that Adele wore to the 2012 Grammys, when she sang for the first time after getting her voice back! First, apply Mac’s Pure White paint pot all over the lid. To do this as easily and neatly as possible, get a thick amount on the tip of your ring finger. Then dab it onto your eye lid. Don’t worry about dabbing the white onto every place on your lid, because after you do that then you can smear it around a little. This is the best way to get this white on your lid without making it look like a kindergartner’s...

NYX HD Foundation Review

Hey Everyone!      I am back! Sorry for being MIA for a week; it has been so hectic! I did a NYX haul about a week and a half ago, and it has given me a good amount of time to test out the products. I base my product reviews in different points depending on what type it is; foundation is typically about coverage and wear time. I also love a foundation that lets the natural glow of your skin still show without looking oily. I decided to try the NYX HD Foundation because I love the High Definition concept. Price: This product is surprisingly inexpensive, it is typically priced at $15.00. I purchased this during Ulta's 20% off sale, so the final price was 8.99 for me. Coverage: This is a great foundation with buildable coverage;...

Green With Envy: A Halloween Tutorial

Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity. - Robert A. Heinlein      Yes, I have a rather unusual greeting today, because this is a special post. I am always happy about a Halloween Tutorial, but this one is different then anything I have ever tried. My green complexion was my inspiration behind the title, and the quote was just put in for fun. Being jealous can be a sign of insecurity, so why be insecure when you can look like the Wicked Witch of the West everyday? Okay, this may be a little more appropriate for Halloween then running errands around town... Anyways, let's get started! I am going to transform my skin by applying the green side of ELF's Olive cream shadow under...
