Fall Look #2 Warm Bronze

Hello my lovelies!
A few days back I posted a picture on my facebook & twitter page of a look that I tried out! & a lot of you really wanted me to show you all how I did it. So that's what I'll be doing today :)
It's a super easy look, it might look intimidating but i'll take you step by step through it and I promise you it's really easy!

Let's get started! 

Like always, begin with a clean face and apply primer to your eyelids.


As a base i'm using the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk.


Apply the cream base all over the lid. & taking a fluffy brush right after, blend the shade from the crease to avoid any harsh lines. 



Next, i'm using the Almay pure blends shadow in Cinnamon. It's a very pretty bronze shade with red undertones.

& apply that all over the lid, right on top of our Color Tattoo cream base. Just like before, blend in the crease.


Now take the blackest black you have, I'm using the shade Blackout from my UD Naked2 pallet. Take a shader brush and pack on the color in the outer part of your eye. Make sure you keep it below the crease!


Take a blending brush and blend the black shadow we packed on earlier up in the crease, make sure you don't go all the way in, into the inner corner. 




 This step is optional, it's just something I personally like to do to make the whole look seem more put together.
-Take a bronze shade on a fluffy brush , I'm using the shade BUSTED from my UD Naked 2 Pallet, & sweep it right over the black eye shadow. Blend it as desired.
- Take a black eyeliner (pencil) and line your lower lash line and waterline, it's okay if its messy, just go over it with a pencil brush afterwards.
-After all that is done, I would go back and add more of the Cinnamon shade on the first half of my lid for finishing touches!


Lastly, Take your liquid liner and line your upper lash line the way you prefer it.
Curl your lashes, & give them a few coats of your favorite mascara!
& we're all done!  





I hope you guys liked this look!

It was SO pigmented and just absolutely gorgeous!

NOTD : Fiercen Tangy!

Hey all! Just wanted to do a quick NOTD!

I've been loving bright or pastel colors for the summer but as the weather is changing and we're heading into the fall season, I'm more attracted towards the dark or deep colors! But but but, I came across this really nice, not too bright yellow the other day at my local Walmart, & I had to get it! I would totally rock this in the fall time!







As you can see, It is the a Maybelline nail polish from their Color Show collection, in the shade Fiercen Tangy. These retail for $2.97 only! Like that's insane. I had to apply 2 coats to get the look I wanted but I apply 2 coats with almost all my nail polishes, so that wasn't an issue for me.

Let me know if you want to see more NOTDs! I'd love to do more & like always hit me up on facebook or twitter for any requests, suggestion or just to say hi! They will be listed below!


     Stay beautiful ! <3

Products I use for my hair!

Heyy all! I have to run to work in 30 mins but I thought I'd quickly do this one for you all :)

To be honest, I don't believe in using much products on my hair because I feel like if my hair gets used to them, it's not gonna hold up good when I don't have access to any of the products. So I keep my list very short & sweet ! :)

Hope this helps!

So this routine is usually for after I wash my hair, which is every other day. My hair gets oily super fast! I wish i could wash is every 2 days but I hate having dirty hair lol. Anyways, so The shampoo I am currently using is the PANTENE PRO-V Daily Moisture Renewal Rehydratation. I'm using the shampoo & the conditioner at the moment.

After washing my hair, while my hair is still damp (Note I said damp, not wet) I take my Moroccan oil, put literally about 2 drops of it in my hand, rub my hands to get it all over my hand, and apply to to my hair. It's best to apply to from the mid section of your hair to down to your tips. I really recommend everyone to try the Moroccan oil if you haven't already. I know it is a little on the pricey side, but its well worth your money.
From what I noticed apply the oil also speeds up the drying time for my hair, which is good because I'm always in a hurry. Since it is a treatment formula, it is repair your damaged hair, especially the ends of your hair, & strengthens them, also providing shine. 



My hair has natural volume, & it is, as you can see, very long. At times i'll apply my Moroccan Oil, leave my hair to hair dry & just wear it out like that. (My hair is damp in the picture above).
Other times, when I want to use a hot tool, I'll wait for my hair to be completely dry. Btw I never ever use a blow dryer in my hair, I like the results I get by air drying my hair better, but that's just a personal preference.

To protect my hair from the hot tool, I use the got2b guardian angel heat protection, & this is probably one of the those products that I will purchase again (other than the moroccan oil of course, love that stuff!).


If I'm straightening my hair, the heat protection is the last product I use, but if I curl my hair, i'll use my L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray to set everything in place, & yes it does hold my curls really well! 

That's really all guys! Like I said I don't like using a lot of products in my hair, & I think that might be part of the reason I don't need much. I hope this helped in some way! :)

Fall Look #1 Lovin' the Greens!

Hello beauties!

       Just a few days ago I was watching this morning show on TV (I don't remember what show lol) But the girl was so gorgeous! The min I looked at her, my eyes went to hr eye makeup. & I fell in loveeee. So I decided to create my own look inspired by hers! I really wish I could show you her face, if only my memory was good enough to remember what  show or channel it was :(


Anyways, it's this really gorgeous green & gold look, mostly green though. I think this would be absolutely gorgeous for fall!

Let's get started! 

Alright so, like always I start off with applying a primer to my lids.


Benefit Stay Don't Stray Primer


Now apply a cream shade all over your lid, I used the shade Foxy from the UB Naked 2 Pallet. 

Optional* Now take some clear tape and place that from the corner of your eye and angle it towards the end of your brow. This is just to achieve that clean edge when our look is complete! 

Now take forest green shade, mine has small gold shimmer to it.


& apply this to about halfway from the outer corner of your lid.

Now take a slightly darker green

& apply this to the outer corner, on top of other other green but about quarter of the way in. As you can see the lighter shade is still visible in the middle of the lid.

Take a matte black eye shadow, I'm using Blackout from the UB Naked 2 Pallet.

Use a pencil brush in this step for better results, & apply the black shade in the outer corner making the "<" shape. Blend it out with the green but make sure not to over blend!

Almost done! Now take this yellow-ish gold shade

& just apply that in the space we left empty towards the inner part of the eye. I find that apply the lighter shade in the inner corner last just makes the blending easier without getting rid of the colors too much! 


At this step I just removed the clear tape, & cleaned up under my eyes for any fallout & such 

Alright so for that softer look, I took the same black eye shadow I used (Blackout from the Naked 3 Pallet) & just applied that on my lash line with an angled brush.

Alright, instead of taking pictures of all the steps here, I decided to just write it out.
1. Apply eyeliner on your waterline (Revlon ColorStay eyeliner in black)
2. Apply eyeliner on your lash line, you now have that line we created with the black eye shadow to go over (NYC liquid eyeliner in black) 
3. Curl your lashes! & apply your favorite mascara on your top & bottom lashes ( Benefit BAD gal Lash)

 we're all done ! yayy
& here's the final look






I hope you guys liked this look!
