Get Ready With Me

   

To start my wonderful day I take a shower and I like to use soft soap body wash in heavenly mango. I am not going to bother to tell you what shampoo and conditioner I use because it literally changes every week. I also like to exfoliate my face with Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub.
     After I get out of the shower I put some comfy pj's. Since my skin gets really dry after I shower I like to put on Simple Moisturizing Cream, then I brush my teeth with Crest Pro-Health. I also never blow dry my hair because... This is embarrassing because I am terrified of hairdryers. I towel dry instead but after it drys a little and my hair feels damp I put in John Freida Leave-In Conditioner.
    Then I go down stairs to my kitchen to grab my V8 Energy Drink. Most people like to have coffee to  start their day but I like to stay healthy and get my serving of vegetables out of the way. Then I finish by applying my makeup and I will show you this particular make-up look and it is a wearable Pink Look. As you can see I was in my closet getting my outfit ready for the day.
   You might ask where I was going well I just went to my boyfriend's house to play Black Ops. What can I say a girl has to look good while she kills people ;)


I hope you have a wonderful day and may it be filled with lot love

Hugs to all :)

Urban Decay

Ends Tuesday 12/11 at 8AM Pacific

      Hautelook is having a sale on one Urban Decay item and it is not a big deal but they did knock of 20$. The Deluxe Shadow Box is usually 38$ and I do enjoy the palette a lot all the colors are beautiful and it is great that they took 50% off. I am just bitter because I paid 38$ for it instead of 20$. But if you want it I definitely recommend it all the colors are beautiful and highly pigmented. The palette contains some crazy and some classy colors. I believe you can only get The Deluxe Shadow Box today for 20$.

It Is The Season To Be Sneezin

        I promise I really did not look like this when I was sick. I use some editing to make me look this green. But I was feeling ill and it was not fun. Usually when I am sick I stay in my home and rest up. But when I have to go out I do not want to look or feel like this picture. I do not like applying makeup either because it leaves all my germs everywhere. So it is a love/hate relationship when I am sick. But I am here to show you a look that will help if you have to go out and you do not want  to look like this. I also have some beauty tips for you :).

       Like I said I hate wearing make-up when I am sick but I do not want to go out looking sick. I do not apply a ton of make-up while I am sick and I did not in this picture. It is just super simple. BeautyTip: If you had some of stomach virus like me and you look kind of pale-ish or green-ish, Then I suggest using some self tanner I like St.Tropez foam. It will just help give color back to your face and concealer and foundation will not cut it. You need a base of color and green is not a good look so apply your self tanner. Then I used Covergirl Concealer Stick in shade Light to conceal my under eye circles and highlight some other places. After that I applied my foundation which is Bare Minerals Original in N20 Medium Beige. Because I have to do this every time I apply my makeup I contoured my face with a Brown Shade by Almay Trio Palette. I also did my eyebrows which was an extra step. Then I applied mascara from Bare Minerals Volumizing Mascara. I put Burt's Bees Chap stick and Estee Lauder Peach Blossom Lipstick. I put my hair in a fishtail braid and then straighten my bangs and was ready in under 10 minutes.

I cannot express how much I hate putting make-up on when I am sick because I feel that my germs are just all over my make-up. Even thought I clean my brushes after I do not feel that it will help because how am I suppose to clean my makeup? Well the world's first beauty sanitizer not only for your brushes but for your makeup! Which is awesome because now I do not have to worry about make-up being germy on my next model. I use beautysoclean to clean my make-up every time I use it . It is so perfect for my train case after every shoot I just spray and wipe all of the makeup that I used and that way it will be ready for my next model. http://www.beautysoclean.com/ This is there website where you can purchase there products. I totally recommend it especially if your a germ-a-phobe(I do not know if I spelled this right) like me. But it will help keep your makeup clean even after you use it when your sick. They also have a blog if you want to check it out http://sanitizeyourmakeupeveryday.com/.

I hope you guys enjoyed this and if your feeling sick... Feel better soon :)

Lots of hugs

Intense. Yes, That Is My Name.

Everyone is raving over winged eyeliner.

         All the eyeliner styles I ever see is winged up. How about Rainbow Style. Take your eyeliner and make a curve and what I mean by that is follow your lash line and then curve the wing down. It rounded out my eyes as you can tell. I think I will start a new trend winged down eyeliner. The current eyeliner I use now is by Maybelline Eyestudio in charcoal it is a gel eyeliner. Then my pencil liner is by Urban Decay 24hr Glide On Pencil.

        I have to tell you guys this but I used to pencil in my waterline all the time until someone told me you can get infections. It scared me to the point where I do not pencil my waterline anymore. Because I had a few dreams that I went blind so now I try to take care of my eyes by avoiding infections like so. I suggest that you do the same. I do not want any of you to go blind.

Now go forth and start a new trend. Hugs to Everyone!

Have a EyeTastic day:)

Color... My Day Long Obsession, Tourment, And Joy

Girl now where are you going to wear this too?

           I actually wore this look on a night out for a dinner party. It was not to harsh because it was more like a smokey blue eye I really liked it and got some compliments. Do not worry your not going to look super ridiculous wearing this on a night out. If you wore this for your everyday look I would be concerned and also jealous of your sense of "I do not care what people think of me".

           So this look is very affordable I used some basic colors from one palette that is drugstore. Yes that is correct a little drugstore palette from Covergirl called Eye enhancers Fard Accent. It comes with four colors. Dark royal blue, Aqua, Burnt orange, Olive green undertone yellow. Then I also used a black shadow, eyeliner, and mascara.

           Lets start on this look, I put Two Faced Shadow Insurance because I wanted to have the pure blue color and I wanted it to last. Next I applied the Aqua color down the center of my lid and only on the lid. Then I place the Royal Blue down in the inner corner and outer corner of my lid. I then took the black shadow which I used Carbon by MAC and placed it in the crease of my lid. I took my fluffy brush and I blended it out everything. I took my angle brush and applied the Royal Blue underneath my bottom lash line to create that smokey affect. I applied my eyeliner with Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner in Charcoal. Applied mascara in Bare Minerals Volumizing Mascara. This is an extra step but you do not have to do it. I filled in my eyebrows because they just look better. Apply blush and lipstick and you are ready for a night out.

I hope you receive many compliments. Even with out makeup because you are all beautiful without it.

Have a Beauty filled day lots of hugs.

And remember....

A little splash of color won't hurt ;)
