Wearable Caramel Apples

Hi everyone! As I was going through my makeup area, I came across my NYX palette and I was like "wow, I haven't used this since one of my Lion King looks!" So I decided to pull it out and give a go! I open it up and I see a row of cool green shades and a row of warm orangey shades, and I immediately thought of caramel apples. I love caramel apples they are so delicious:) I really like this look a lot because it has the fun colors of a caramel apple, but worn in a subtle way that makes it an a creative everyday look! I hope you guys enjoyed this look as much as I did. Thank you!

Spring/Easter Look

Howdy ya'll! So I walked outside today and the weather was just perfect! Spring is right around the corner, and so is Easter. I realized I should do a Easter look so I did:) I was thinking pastels and lots of shimmer! And I know that the Bh Cosmetics 88 Shimmer Palette would be perfect to use, and I was so glad because alot of people have this palette so they could replicate the look to a "t"! I also want to have fun with the liner, I didn't want to go with basic black liner on the top lashline because the black would of been to harsh for this soft pastel look, so I thought "PURPLE!" Then I realized I don't purple liner! So I just used purple shadow and e.l.f. Mist & Set. I hope you guys liked this tutorial!

Dark n' Sultry Christmas Look

Hey Everyone! So I really wanted to do a Christmas/Holiday look, but it seems like everyone is doing more gold, silver,and glittery looks, so I didn't want to do another one of those. I decided to do a dark look! I understand that Christmas isn't a dark holiday, but alot of people prefer darker looks (I know I do). Well I hope you guys like it! I incorporated red on to the lid and green smudged under the lower lashline to give it a Christmas touch;) haha. Blending some black all around, but to add a little pop to the look I added a subtle gold highlight to the inner corners. I would add some false lashes to this look, because sometime when a look is quite dark it can wash out your lashes and won't be noticable:/ Unfortunatly I couldn't find my false lashes! But I would totally wear them:)

Painting The Ends Of Your Makeup Brushes :)

Hey Everyone! I've recently painted the tips of my makeup brushes, and I wanted to show you all. A lot of makeup artists use this technique of painting the ends of their brushes! It's a way to identify your brushes when your working around other artist who may have the same brushes you do, so it makes it easy to see which are yours! It also give them some personality when you customize them, and it also makes them look very cute! I've done many of my brushes. I decided to paint different brands different colors. ex. my MAC brushes are a glittery pink, and my e.lf. brushes are a silvery purple, etc. All you need to do this is; scotch tape, nail polish, and, of course, your makeup brushes! Tape the end of your brush, leaving about a quarter of an inch space from the bottom, then just paint it! It's that easy:) I'll soon be posting a video tutorial on my channel, with step by step instructions.
Here are a few of my MAC brushes I painted:) I used Finger Paints nail polish in "Hue Left A Message?"
These are a couple of my e.l.f. brushes that I painted with a SCENTED nail polish from Revlon called "Not So Blueberry"
I painted all my Coastal Scents brushes a minty green color (showing a few) called "Mint Apple" from Sinful Colors.
These two are Studio 35 brushes from WalGreens, I painted these ones with another Sinful Colors nail polish in "Timbleberry".
Here are the nail polish that I used on my brushes:)

Copy Cat Tutorial: Leesha's Smoke & Ice (xsparkage)

Copy Cat is a new thing I'm doing on my channel where I take looks from well-know makeup gurus on YouTube (such as; Michelle Phan, MissJessicaHarlow, xsparkage, DucleCandy87, MissChevious, MakeupGeek, etc.) and replicate them. Sometimes I'll change a few things, maybe tone it down a little bit, or make it more dramatic, etc. Other times, I'll leave it as is. I thought this would be soemthing cool and fun.
I don't take credit for any of the look I do that are titled "Copy Cat" the guru I'm replicating get all the credit because they came up with the looks not me. So I hope you all will enjoy this new sigment or series, whatever you want to call it:) Thank You!







I've been a subscriber of Leesha's on YouTube for some time now, and I absolutely love all the looks she does but when I seen her "Smoke & Ice" look she did for Fierce Friday, I fell in love! I immediately went to my makeup area and started palying around with every thing I had to replicate her look. If you havent seen Leesha's look yet you have to go check it out :Fierce Friday: Smoke & Ice

Coastal Scents: GO Palettes

I recently recieved these palettes in the mail from Coastal Scents, and was super excited to start using them! I ordered the Cairo, Syndey, and Moscow palettes. The retail for $8.95 each. All the colors are very vibrant and opaque, the same quality as their 88 palettes. The one thing I was kind of disappointed in was the size of the shadows. I expected them to be a bit bigger, but they're about the size of a dime (same as their 88 palette). Each palette has many different finishes, ranging from mattes to satins to shimmers to metallics. They are very silky and have great color pay-off. I don't have a problem with chalky-ness or any of them being powdery. I would different recommend these travel-friendly palettes! Great compact size, sturdy packaging, and a large mirror built right in, is perfect! You could ask for more, these palettes are amazing.

Hard Candy Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer

OMG, I love this tinted moisturizer! I bought this product awhile back in the summer time and it sorta got lost in my makeup collection. But I just recently rediscovered this product! I decided to use this the other day when I wanted some coverage but didn't want the feeling of a heavy foundation on my face. So I reached for this moisturizer, and just applied it with my fingers and was amazed! The coverage for being a tinted moisturizer was great. I just applied this some contour, and a quick sweep of some blush! My face looked much more alive and bright. The finish is very natural with a hit of "dewy-ness". I recommend this product for EVERYONE! You could find this moisturizer at WalMart and it retails for around $6. :) This product is a thumbs-up. Ohh, and its always very long wearing!
