Warm up for Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving just two days away I thought a post of my favorite warm toned makeup products would be festive! Thanksgiving always makes me think of warm, cozy hues. Leaves, pie, and sweaters just wouldn't be the same without festive makeup to accompany them! Eyeshadow: Urban Decay Naked Palette - The perfect blend of warm colors plus a gunmetal to add a punch!...

Starlooks Gem Eyeliner - Ultra Olive

I love the creamy texture too. I had been looking for an eyeliner in this color for a while so when I opened my bag and saw it...

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara - Bigger, Blacker, Badder?

Ever since I tried my Younique mascara I'm hooked on that except when I need to be super quick then I like to have one or two backups of "plain old" mascara on hand. So every once in a while I get a sample of a new one with a purchase and decide to test it out...  Today I tried Urban Decay's new...

Tarte Tartelette Palette - Presale + Swatches

I believe it was last year that Tarte had released a really gorgeous all matte palette and sadly I kept putting off purchasing it until guess what, it was all gone except for a few selling on ebay for about $100. So I waited and waited hoping one day Tarte would either re release it or come out with something better. Well the...

Lime Crime Venus The Grunge Palette

Besides The Birth of Venus being one of my favorite paintings, I love me some warm red and brown eyeshadow (and 90's grunge which also inspired this beauty)! When I first saw the swatches of this palette on Instagram I was instantly hooked. Each color is highly pigmented to perfection. They are butter and I was not disappointed at all.  This palette includes...

Throwback Thursday - Black & Blue Evening Dress Inspired

Here is a look I did maybe a year ago for a contest. It was supposed to be inspired by an evening dress and this is the dress and what I came up with! I had fun incorporating the black and hidden pops of cobalt blue. I used false lashes from Katy Perry's line of falsies. They has a mix of blue and...

GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment

After testing out GlamGlow's Supermud mask and loving it I knew I had to try the Tinglexfoliate packet! Again, the same as the Supermud it had enough in the packet to do my whole face. The formula was thinner than the Supermud. It was a thin grainy texture. I applied it and within two minutes tops I could feel the strong tingle from...

Mani Monday!

It's Mani Monday again! This past week I wanted to do a black shade to be festive for Halloween and who doesn't love a glossy black polish? I chose Nails Inc. polish in Alexa Silk. It's a black base with an almost gunmetal pearl mixed in, a super elegant black. When you look at it, it really does give off a silk like...
