Touch of Gold

Lovvvvve this look! I created this look earlier this year (yeah i'm trying to catch up on my FOTD's). I love it. Its a pretty simple look to create. I didnt use a ton of products either. I did this so long ago that I dont remember the exact colors of this look but I'm just basically recreating it in my head as I type.

EYE:
Maybelline Color tatoo in Bold Gold and the lid and as my base.
Then blended it out with MAC Embark eyeshadow and Folie eyeshadow. I think I used a little MAC Nehru in the outer V and blended that in very well. Then I most likely used MAC Ricepaper as my brow highlight. I

CHEEKS:
I most likely used MAC LoveRush as this is my most favorite go-to everyday blush that pretty much matches everything. You can change it up to go heavy and light with it. For this look I went a little light to accentuate the eyes.

FACE:
My foundation routine right now consists of Black Opal creme stick foundation in Truly Topaz. I apply foundation very lightly because I dont really use it as a cover up I just use it to mainly even my skintone and give me a smoother finish. I use MAC Studio fix concealer for a highlight and contour with MAC Mineral skinfinish in dark deep. I set my concealer with Ben Nye Banana Powder.

LIPS:
I used Wet n Wild Lipstick from the Fergie collection in Old School Glam. I also lined my lips with MAC Chestnut lip pencil.

Daytime Soft Neutral Look

I have seriously neglected this blog....I'm going to try to stay on top of updating it and posting my videos.

So I created this quick and easy daytime, neutral look. I tried to use the minimum amount of products so that the look would be simple and easy. I actually got the idea from a video that BeatFaceHoney did on YouTube except I put my own little spin on it and made it less dramatic. I still LOVE her version of the look.

Here is the list of products that I used for the look. To see exactly HOW I did it just take a look at the video! :)

Eye:
Mac Painterly Paint Pot
Urban Decay Vice Palette "FreeBird"
Mac Folie
Mac Nehru
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Pencil "Sin"
Urban Decay Eyeliner Pencil "Perversion"

Cheek:
Coastal Scents 78 Color Eyeshadow/Blush Palette

Face:
Mac StudioFix NC45
NYX Mosaic Highlight

Lips:
NYX Megashine Lipgloss "Sponge Cake"
Ruby Kisses Espresso Lipliner

Some of My Favorite Looks of 2012

This post is just a look back at some of my favorite #FOTD's that I have posted to Instagram over the last couple of months. Since joining Instagram my makeup game has really grown and given me a new passion. I've always loved everything beauty and hair including makeup, clothes, shoes, etc...but here lately I have taken it to new levels.  I want to try to do better with this blog and actually detail what I have used to create the looks and the inspiration for it. I am a horrible procrastinator and always say I'm going to do it later and it never gets done. And also in the back of my mind i'm like..."aint nobody reading my blog anyway." So I take my time about getting things done but my promise to me is that i'm going to do better! Because I really do want folks to read this blog! lol

My four most fav looks of the last couple months.....

love this lip color! Wet n Wild Cherry Picking and Mac Currant lip liner

love love looooove this!!! I can't believe I did it.

Video: My Natural Eye Makeup Remover

This video was posted a few days ago on my You Tube Channel. I'm just now getting around to getting it up on the blog.

So I have very sensitive skin around my eyes. And of course with me getting older I want to protect my skin from aging as much as possible. I've tried several different eye makeup removers and finally I found one that I may stick with for awhile. Along with sensitive skin I also have very combination skin. Oily around the nose...dry forehead...normal cheeks and chin. So in the winter my face gets extremely dry. I started using coconut oil to remove my eye makeup. This is the best thing I could have done! Not only do I not get red, dry skin around my eyes from the oil free eye makeup remover but I get a great skin moisterizer and age fighter in the process....Check out this video!

Video: How to Make Beautiful Waves with a Waving Iron

I am sooooo late updating this blog! Forgive me...

Anyhoots...here is a video that I made on how to wave your hair with one of those "old school" waving irons. I bought the iron because I like the company who made the iron so I figured it HAD to be something good.  This waving iron came from www.drugstore.com and its made by Pro Beauty Tools. Pro Beauty Tools has some awesome styling products. I have 3 other ceramic curling irons from them and I absolutely love them.
