Christmas Eyes!

What's more Christmassy (and cheezy...and cliche) than red, gold and green eyes for Christmas?
I used Beauty from the Earth Shadows in Candy Apple, Honey and Raspberry and Urban Decay's 24/7 Liner in Covet. I am so corny haha.  Even my nails are Red and silver ;)

New Wall Mural :)

I am in the process of decorating my room, and ran across this ADORABLE wall decal mural from DabbleDown on Etsy:

It was the LAST ONE, so I am so glad I picked it up.  There has been a vacant space of wall above my bed for a few months now as I searched for the perfect "space filler".  My walls are the same shade of yellow as the ones displayed in this pic too! AND my duvet cover has swirls and birds on it. So excited to see how this transforms my room!  

I need to post before and after pics of my basement room! It's unbelievable! My room was once a drab, dark grey place, but with the help of my wonderful and artistic boyfriend, it has undergone a metamorphosis into the beautiful lively space it is today....and getting better all the time!

until next sign,

Purple and Green!

One of my favorite tutorial ladies on YouTube (xsparkage) did this AMAZING look for Green (or brown) eyes using purples and greens. Got totally inspired and I Love it!

I used the following products to create my look (almost all the same products used in the tutorial video below).  While it looks like I may have used a lot of products, I really could have used just two eyeshadows and mascara....plus this took me like literally 5 minutes. Try it out for yourself!:
Eyes:
Cream shadow base by VS Beauty Rush in Glampagne
Beauty from the Earth shadows:
Karma (wet) 
Raspberry
Green Apple
MAC:
Pfloof! as highlighter and on inner eye to brighten look and eyes :)

Eyeliners:
Urban Decay 24/7 liners in Zero (top lash line and water line) Covet (lower lash line, under the Green Apple from BFTE) and Yeyo on inner corner of eye 

Mascara:
The Colossal Volum' Express by Maybelline

Foundation/Face:
Studio Fix Fluid by MAC in NW25
MAC Mineralize  Satinfinish Natural in Medium

Blush:
Sweet William cream blush by MAC with a tad of Pfloof! MAC eyeshadow on top for extra sheen ;)


Have fun with this easy pretty look!

I decided to create a blog specifically dedicated to my love for make-up, hair, fashion and all things feminine.  I hope to post reviews, tips/tricks (and eventually tutorials???) as well as products/styles I love throughout.  Yay!
