Puuuur-Fect

      I have the perfect cat eye for you. I did my foundation and contouring and highlighting all the same. You could do your brows its optional I've been having such a hard time with my eyebrows lately I just haven't had a color match with my eyebrows I have to takes 2 colors to get the right color that I want and finally found a duo so maybe I'll do an eyebrow tutorial later. So let's get started well of course you always have to prime your eyes with any primer but my favorite primer is Too Faced Shadow Insurance and I just put that from my lash line all the way up to my brow bone and that will just get you started. So then I took my brule by Mac it's a nice wash color for all over the lid so I took that from the lash line to the brow bone. Then I took kitten which is in the Stila palette "in the light" and it's kind of similar to rice paper by Mac so I took it and applied it to the lid and I blended it so it would look softer not as harsh. Next I took bliss (Also in the Stila Palette) which is a nice soft light brown and I applied to the crease and the outer corner of the eye. You could use any eyeliner you like or even a wet angle brush with a black shadow but I bought the Maybelline Master Duo by Eye Studio and I'm just really obsessed with it I'm going to do a review later on, but I'm using that one in 500 Black lacquer. I'm going to take my eyeliner and place it in the middle of my lid and that's where my pupil is and I'm going to draw a thick and then a thin line for the wing and then I take my eyeliner once again but start at the inner corner of my eye start with a thinner line then draw a thicker line so it can match the middle part. Now an extra step what I did is another wing but on the inner corner going downward now you can do it thin or thick it doesn't matter I did mine in between. This completes your purrrfect cat eye. There are some additional steps like lip gloss, lip stick, and blush. For my brush I believe I used Fit Me by Maybelline in medium coral and for my lips I think I used a nude which is Myth by Mac and I put a lip gloss over it which is my favorite Dazzleglass by Mac in baby sparks.

    There you have it if you have any certain looks you want to see or any questions just leave a comment below and I just want to wish you a beautiful purrrrfect day.

Ombre! Make Them Brown Eyes POP

      I always like to make my eyes the center of attention so I made this look out of inspiration from my Stila palette. It is an ombre sultry eye, this makes brown eyes really pop and I think all the colors are beautiful and I'm using all the colors from the Stila palette but any of these colors can be duped with something else. Let's get started I did my foundation and contouring and highlighting all the same nothing changed. For my blush I used a Covergirl blush in 110 classic pink. For my lips I used myth by Mac and for my lip gloss I used baby sparks by Mac. I always prime my eyes before I apply any eyeshadow because I want the purest pigment as possible and I don't want it to crease. My favorite primer of all time is Two Faced Shadow Insurance and I applied that from the lid all the way up to the brow bone. From the Stila palette I used Bear, Sandstone, Gilded Gold, and Luster. I applied Bear from my lash line all the way up to my brow bone.
Then I applied Sandstone to the lid and blended it out. I next applied Gilded Gold to the crease and I also diffused it. The next step is to take Luster to the lash line and blended upwards so you get that ombre effect. I did 2 more extra steps and I took Leisure Time by Mac and applied it all the way around my eyeshadow on the outer corners and on the inner corners. I blended it out and then I took my 24/7 glide on eye pencil from Urban Decay and I gently smudge it on my lash line just to have the effect of fuller lashes. Then you could do your eyebrows and mascara and this will complete your look and you will have big popping brown eyes.
(Beauty Tip: If you want bigger and more round eyes take a white eyeliner pencil and apply that in your waterline both top an bottom. This makes the eyes look bigger by appearance because it fools the eye into thinking there is more white space there.)


I hope you guys enjoy!
(Btw) I am having a photo shoot today I will try and post some pictures tonight.
Have a Beautiful Day!

Vanity :)

           Hey everyone this is my new setup of my vanity and makeup station I guess you can put it that way. I used to get ready in my bathroom well not really my own bathroom I had to share a bathroom with my brother and I just couldn't take that anymore so I decided to move all my bathroom necessities back into my room and clear off my vanity and just put all my belongings on the vanity and on the side table. If you watched my video on my 2012 favorites and not so favorites you could tell that my vanity looks way different. Because I cleared of my entire vanity and I cleaned it and wiped it down and I put all that stuff into boxes and Storage until I could find a place that I could put all my nick knacks on. So you can tell that my vanity is very different than the video there are some little nick knacks just the ones I couldn't live without like my white box with my mannequin and crown and my little Tinkerbell stuff. Then of course on my left I have my 6 drawer dresser I guess not really a dressers just like a little storage unit I don't know how many drawers are maybe 6 or four I think. Anyways that just keeps a lot of my beauty products along with jewelry and accessories. Then the little red table that you see on the right that actually used to be on the left by my column but I moved it over so I can put all my bathroom necessities on that table. On my actual vanity there's a bunch of knickknacks on the left top corner by the mirror and then on the right top corner I have my little basket of makeup and then at the bottom shelf I just have like some other bathroom necessities like toothbrush and charger my straightener my brushes my makeup brushes and a bunch of other things. I think you could see underneath my vanity I have my chair of course but right underneath it I have my makeup train case and that's what I used to take on photo shoot when I apply makeup to my models. That train case is on the left hand side and then on the right hand side there's like this little bag of other extra items. Like sometimes if I know I'm gonna run out of a product really soon I like to buy extras and put them in a storage basket so when I need them I'll take it out and use it. This concludes my vanity set up and if you have any questions feel free to ask just any questions about any of the framing, decor, or any of that just comment below and I'll make sure to answer to you as soon as possible.



 I love you guys
 Have a good night

Get Ready With Me!!

   Hey everyone I know it has been awhile but I do want you to get ready with me to go to bed. Lets get started because I am tired and I do sure want to go to bed.
   I like to light a candle before I get ready before I go to bed it just really relaxes me. Okay well every night before I do anything I have to take off my make-up and I use the Neutrogena Make-up Remover wipes and I do enjoy them. They work very nicely and it is so much easier they washing my face then using a cleanser over the sink. Then I moisturize with Simple Light Hydration cream. Then I take my tooth brush and and my toothpaste and brush my teeth. Then I brush out my hair because I hate going to bed with tanglely hair. If I notice any blemishes on my face I like to use my Neutrogena Spot Gel because it will take care of those areas within 8 hours. Then I like to use a lip balm or chap stick before I go to bed so I wake up with nice soft lips. I currently use Burt's Bees replenishing chap stick but I hate it so I do not recommend it. I am the type of person that will not go out and buy another product until I am finished or almost finished with the first. Because I am a broke college student and I have to save money. Then after I am already and clean for bed I like to put on my Pj's and fuzzy socks and snuggle up in my bed. I usually text my boyfriend for a bit before I go to bed. But that is all I do before I sleep.

I hope you guys enjoy.
I will try posting more stuff tomorrow night. School is just starting so it is very hard to get back into things.

Have a great night.
:)
