MAC Haul!

It is finally here! I have a mini Mac haul of some products that I recently purchased. Keep reading to see what I got! I first got the MAC pro palette insert for 15 shadows. I always told myself that buying the shadows in pot form would help me use them more, but I am using my palette all of the time! I also purchased the large single palette with the clear lids. I posted about this a few days ago; expect a more detailed review soon! Okay, I know this is a strange color... I am going to figure out how to make it wearable! This is Sour Lemon from the pro line. I had to purchase Vellum because of the sheen. This looks like a very basic white, but when it is applied, it has the prettiest violet shimmer to it. If you would...

How I Keep My Hair Frizz Free!

Have you ever wondered why your hair is super silky after you get the ends trimmed? Getting all of the split ends off helps a lot, but there is one key product that hairdressers use to make the client's hair smoother. Let me introduce you to Moroccan Oil. First of all, the packaging is the prettiest Tiffany box blue! How lovely. Moroccan oil is a combination of split end sealing oils. They tame any frizz without making hair seem oily. This product is sold online and at select salons. I believe that this magic potion works best on damp hair. I like to let my hair air dry about 50% before I apply this. I would recommend starting on the ends. Most people start at the roots of the hair which can make it appear oily. I prefer to start on...

Latest looks: Winter 2013

How often do you change up your makeup routine? As a self proclaimed beauty blogger, I consider it necessary to keep switching things up. These have been my favorite looks that I have considered blog worthy! Blue and Purple Ice EyesThis was a fun winter wonderland look with a hint of purple. Pop of Emerald I was in the mood to create a neutral eye with a pop of color, so I used a new ELF palette for a fun everyday look.Honey and Bronze Eyes. This was a new twist on the typical bronzy look. I worked with both shimmery and matte textures to add that right amount of dimension to the eye.Neutral With A TwistI was so happy to incorporate Samoa Silk and a gold eyeliner into a natural look.

My Fake Lash Proof: Part 2

Voila! Are these lashes amazing or what? If you saw my last post, you know that I am in love with false lashes. This addiction has recently blossomed; I never have reached for them in my collection before. I am thinking of placing an order and getting some in bulk soon. I wanted to share a picture of a navy smokey eye that I tried out. Before I found out the mascara secret, my smokey eyes looked like black eyes. You know, the "accidentally ran into _________" look? Oh, feel free to fill in the blank. Lashes provide an anchor for the shadow; it pulls everything together. I used my Ardell lashes in 53 black for this look. They provide a ton of length and plenty of fullness without being too much of a drag queen look. Yes, even I have limits...

My Latest Makeup Addiction: Fake Lashes

I remember looking at fake lashes when I was younger and thinking, "Ew. Who would even think about wearing those?" The fluffy little creatures frightened me from a young age. Why do I like them now? I wish I knew the answer. I was trying to attempt to re-organize my collection (post coming soon!) when I found a pair of lashes. I tried them on just for fun. I was shocked at the difference that it made! My eyes looked so much bigger, and it brightened my face. Not all lashes look fake; I have been testing some very natural types as well. Overall, I am pretty impressed with these, I will use them in more future looks! Tell me in the comments if you use fake lashes, and if so, what is your favorite pair? Thanks for reading! ...

Spring's New "It" Color

      Yes, it is blue. Do not run screaming out the door, I can explain. When I thought of blue eyeshadow, I used to imagine a really bad 80's music video. Trust me, I thought it was pretty crazy too. This is coming from the person that does crazy looks everyday, but I mean, come on, blue? After testing out just about every color imaginable, I knew that there had to be a way to make this work.I was looking at the Spring/Summer 2013 makeup looks from Fashion Week. Here is my rundown on my favorite looks:Anna Sui: The face was left very simple. A wash of pool blue shadow was applied to the lid.Fendi: This one is pretty interesting; a bathing suit was cut up into small strips and used on the lower lash line. Wow.Clements Riberio:...

Palettes vs Pots

Welcome Back to Forever Fuchsia!     I have a quick question for you all. If you saw my last tutorial post, then you know that I am going to place an order with MAC soon. I was admiring the latest PRO products (see my favorite products here!) and I saw the new palettes. I love the quads, but they only save around four dollars than getting them in pot form. The 15 color palettes seemed great, but the opaque lid made me continue to purchase the pots. Now, MAC has brought out a palette with a clear lid! You can even purchase different inserts depending on what you want to use it for.Okay; how much more of a shiny object can you find? These look so sleek. MAC usually raises the prices every year and the pan shadows are much...
