Happy Earth Day today!!!! This week I am going to be doing looks inspired by nature. Our beautiful world has so many gorgeous colors it’s hard to choose what to do first. Today it’s beautiful greens with a touch of sunshine. Different ones this week will consist of blues for water and sky, browns for mountains and earth and some flower inspired tutorials. I’m excited to do them all and share =).
Here is the bag that was dropped off at my home for April. I must say I was VERY pleased with this bag and cannot WAIT to try out all of the pretty pinkness contained in it. The bag that I get for this month will be apart of a summer giveaway I am putting together so see if you like it =). Hugs!
After opening up my Ipsy bag for the month of March I had this urge to use the colors in there from Yabby Cosmetics. They so PERfectly matched my outfit and so I decided to do a very last second tutorial. Somehow it turned into “deep thinking” and reflections…hope you don’t mind ; ). I have just been thinking a lot about life lately, friends, family and creative outlets. This is definitely an outlet for me and I am super appreciative of you guys for watching, commenting and learning with me. I feel like I am branching out in all areas of my life and was wondering how you guys would feel about me posting about them from time to time. I throw parties for people, I would love to share what I do and the ideas I’ve come up with. I’m on this whole weight loss kick and would love to share recipes. I adORE decorating (love me some Pinterest) and am actually in the process of doing two homes in the area and would love to share crafty crafty things along with decor. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments and if we want to keep to strictly makeup I can create other blogs no problem and keep this one free of those things =). Thanks for all of your feedback! Love you guys!!!
Got my bag from Ipsy{dot}com for the month of March and just got around to videoing the opening of said bag. I am SUPER in love with the bag this month since I am a fan of all things Nautical ; ). Not a ton in this bag but it’s the first time that I was stoked about 90% of it! The eyeshadow pictured is a touch different than the colors I received. Mine was a fanTAStic teal and a caramel color. I am excited to put the hydrating mist in my kit (and to maybe use on myself) and the mirror is super cute and pink (which believe it or not, I am not always a fan of). Have you signed up for Ipsy or another beauty of the month club? What did YOU get this month? What are you excited to try?
My good friend Joelle over at the Party Starters Events is having a HUGE Spring giveaway!!!! There are crafty things, party items, makeup goodies (provided by yours truly) and lots of fabulous prizes from various vendors. I am SUCH a fan of throwing parties and personalizing everything that goes along with a perfect theme. What was YOUR most fabulous party triumph? Do you love it as much as I do? =) Click here to check it out and good luck!!! Be sure to tell a friend and comment back here if you entered =).
Hi there makeup lovers!!!!! I am excited to be back and doing such a dramatic, fun, smokey eyes for you today. The BEST part of this whole thing is that MOST everything comes from the drugstore!!! Not everything though, and for the items that aren’t I made sure to use VERY inexpensive products that are just a click away on Amazon =). I wanted to kick off this warmer weather with a sultry sharp eye and have been so taken away with this pic that I want to lighten my hair for the first time in 12 years!!! What do you think? Should I take the plunge???
Wanted to start trying to carry a makeup bag around with me again. Here’s hoping it sticks this time. Especially because THIS time I was SO glad I had it when I did!!!! I always get very “honest” remarks from youngsters at school so I though NOT TODAY KIDS!!!! LOL I even had a lady after I was done volunteering and checking out say, “You always look so put together and lovely.” Boy was THAT a compliment considering I thought I looked pretty mediocre. What do you have in YOUR makeup bag? What can’t you live without? Comment below!
Saw this picture and was SO captivated by it. Love her or hate her, she knows how to wear her makeup! Her makeup artist has sent girls all over reeling trying to make their cheekbones as pronounced, their eyes as dreamy, their lashes as long and thick and lips as pouty as possible! Sure, they airbrushed the JuNk out of this photo but still…..beautiful!!!!! In this video I teach how to achieve this gorgeous look with two different lips. One with the orangy red she sports and the other with a very glossy nude lip. One thing I was most impressed with as I went through doing my eyelashes was that I thought my demi whispies might not be good enough to match hers. I ended up doing a good coat of mascara on them and they TOTALLY proved worthy!!!!! SO fun to find that something you already had, something you thought was only good for one thing, surprises you =). I don’t feel the need to go out and get different lashes when doing Kim looks. Tell me what you think and which lip is your favorite!
I signed up for Ipsy.com in January, did you as well? Ipsy is a beauty of the month club where you pay $10 a month and receive all kind of beauty products. The absolute excitement of getting fun girly things delivered to my door is almost more than I can stand! I did choose the one that was the least expensive (women with husbands feel me right?) so what I have gotten so far does reflect that…kind of. There have been some amazingly wonderful full sized products and a few trial sized things that I can now put in a travel beauty bag. I am also pretty excited that I can give away some of the products to you since I have already tried them out in the past and know that I love them =). Here is the video of me opening up the two very first bags that I received. Enjoy and don’t forget to enter the Shabby Apple contest, it’s the last day!!!
