I look as tired as I feel

I apologize in advance for my poor lighting AND bad photography. I am currently in the process of looking to buy a new camera , but you need money for that LOL !! So this is MY version on a Valentines Day Look...Or something I would wear anyways !! It pretty much consists of ALL purple shades, for my skin tone I felt this was the best choice. Another alternative for a Valentines day look could be pinks and creams but this wouldn't compliment my skin... ANYWAYS here is my Valentines Day Inspired look... :::






Purple Valentines Day Look





Again Sorry for the Bad lighting and what not :/ Here are the Products I used ::


* NYX jumbo eye pencil in Oyster

* MAC e/s in Beautiful Iris [[on lid]]

* MAC e/s in Parfait Amour on {{crease and outer V}}

* MAC e/s in Earthly Riches Mineralize the purple shade {{on our V to deepen}}

* MAC pigment in Vanilla {{to highlight under the brow}}

* Clinique Mascara :: Lash Doubling Mascara in Black

* MAC slimshine lipstick in Bare

* Benefit Lip Gloss in Magic

* MAC peaches blush


***Let me know if you have any questions on products or the makeup look in general :D Hope you like it !!!


So unfortunately I have been like REALLY REALLY sick lately...And it sucks lol but on a positive note it has given me time to practice some NAIL ART !! YAY it's tedious and small hard work but its so much fun !!! ::


::From Left to Right :: Heart Designs , Glitter Mania , Candy Cane Strips , Holly Leaf , Flowers , Sunshine Design , ZEBRA , LEOPARD print and Musical Notes...Contact me if your interested in me doing your nails !!! :D

Something New

Today I had to help my grandmother babysit, what felt like a MILLION kids :/ Yeah they are cute and everything but sheesh thats a LONG day ...7:30am-5:30pm ugh >_<



Have you ever had star fruit ? If you haven't you should TOTALLY try it ! Not only is it a super cute fruit [lolz] but its so nutritious !! The fruit is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C and low in sugar, sodium and acid !! However if you are on medications for Kidney problems then it is not recommend for you...OTHERWISE ENJOY :]





I wanted to do a mini makeup review today instead of a makeup look , just to educate on some products I love and some I hate !!! Today I am reviewing.... MAKEUP REMOVER !! Now I know some people say "I just use water" , and yes that's a cheap alternative to buying a makeup remover ! BUT if you wear makeup everyday you really should use something that will clean your face completely of all the makeup !! Dont want to get those pores clogged :[

ONE I LOVE ::

origins well off is currently my FAVORITE makeup remover !! Its extremely gentle on my sensitive skin , and my face doesn't feel oily after I use it !! I do recommend cleansing after use but if you didn't have time too it would be to horrible with this remover <3>

ONE I HATE ::

Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover...ITS NOT OIL FREE AT ALL !! I mean when it settles from sitting on your counter you can see the oil !!! It feels disgusting on your face after ! Very Oily !! I mean don't get me wrong it gets the job done , but who would want their face to be left so oily !? It retails at about $4-6 dollars...

**LASTLY a shot from my portfolio !!! :: Enjoy :]

Vintage Soul

I have always felt like I was born in the wrong era. Musically; I love music of all types but, lol some of my ALL TIME favs are not of this time. But that's okay it just means I am more inspired to bring back those o' so trendy times :D

Today's look is INSPIRED by vintage pin-up. When I say INSPIRED i'm not saying it is EXACTLY the same but my interpretation of such a classic look. I have always been in love with Vintage pin up looks , they women are so sexy without being overly skanky HAHA !!





So without future delay here is my vintage inspired look..unfortunately on myself hahaha !!






So I think the key to this type of look is to accentuate the most "sexy" part of a women's face her eyes and her lips :] Nothing too showy or over the top. Although I know red lips can be pretty over the top for most people haha !!! You want to start off with a fleshy toned eyeshadow something kind of peachy for the all over lid even a little shimmer wont hurt :] Then you want so lightly shade in a darker toned color something like brown into your crease and outer V ! NOTHING too dramatic just to accentuate your natural crease line !! Followed by DRAMATIC eyeliner : cat eyed for that extra punch ! You also want to line your water line both top and bottom , and smudge some black eyeshadow into your bottom lash line, dont for get MASCARA. And red lips for the finish :] For my vintage inspired hair I just did some looks curls with my flat iron :] If you want to know any other details or products I used send me a comment and I will GLADY reply :]



So on a different note I just had to tell you all about my newest favorite perfumes !!! I know they have been around for a while now but O-M-G they are sooo CUTE and so fresh smelling :] Im talking about.... Harajuku Lovers !! I have all 3 scents !! two are actually cute little bottles and one is in like some sort of solid form !! Good for in your bag :] Here are my lovely's :::



I think I like little Blondie "G" a little better shes just a fresh and clean smell :] Love which is the dark haired girl is more floral scented :] Oh so tasty hahahahaha !!! :] Good Day Ya'll Some me some love <3

Sick Day

So I called out of work today. I was feeling pretty HORRIBLE last night and this morning :[ feeling a little better now...And my wonderful boyfriend tried to cheer me up when he went to do errands and bought me the cutest rice krispie treat and Starbucks <3>

Since I had a Sick day in I decided to DE-pot my MAC eye shadows ! A task I have been Lagging to do for a WHILE now !! It really was actually kind of fun !! And not to mention SUPER easy !! I just followed a simple tutorial on YouTube : thanks a bunch Makeup Geek :D Kudos !! LOVE LOVE your videos so easy to follow!!

Not only do I have nice organized Eye shadows now but I can get a free lipstick with the recycling program that MAC has !! YAY me :] LOL but now I need another palette :/ LOL sooon soooon. Another thing I did today out of Sick boredom was baked Cheesecake Brownies...Yes they tasted as good as the sound !!! ALSO VERY EASY here is the recipe :: thanks all recipe's !!

Okay so I'm adding my daily look to today's post...LOL I got inspired by a geico commercial haha! So this is a GREEN going out look ...DEFINITELY not an everyday look , a little too dramatic !! Enjoy



*lol PLEASE ignore my stupid face haha and my bad camera skills these are all taken with my IPhone :/*

I think in that last shot it looks like the right side is darker ...but trust me it isn't , I think its the lighting and not having the right camera that tend to make the makeup shots not that great...But anyways. What do you think ?

**Urban Decay Primer Potion

**MAC e/s Shroom

**MAC e/s Humid

**MAC e/s Carbon

**MAC fluidline in Blacktrack
