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!
