Update!


Heyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and didn't have to work it like I did. But it's all good because I ended up getting most of my gifts early and I still got to spend time with my family even if it felt like the day flew by. I don't know if it was just me but it felt like Christmas day was like two seconds and boom here we are on the Friday after, but it was still a good day or a few seconds.
I'm sorry I haven't been blogging a whole lot lately, I usually try to do at least two post a week but it's been a little busy lately with the holiday and all. I'm sure it has been busy for you girls as well. I was going to blog last night but ended up falling asleep before I could do anything. :( I know I will have at least one review on a certain palette that I love and can't wait to blog about it but I only had it for two days so it is kind of too early to write about it. I just need two more days, just kidding!
Well that is all I have to write about for now, I just wanting to say hello and let you know I'm still alive. :)
What did you girls do for Christmas? Got any awesome new makeup products you been dying to try?
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!

Makeup Look of the Day: Easy Holiday Look for the Busy Season!


Heyyy Makeup Lovers!!!
How’s your holiday season going? Are you busy running around and trying to get everything done for the big fun day? Are you even done with shopping yet?
Are you going to any big awesome holiday parties and finding out you just don't have enough time to get all beautified because you just have so much to do!?!
Well I have a fun, easy, and simple holiday look that I think anyone will love.
I decided to do an easy holiday look for you guys because I'm finding out that it is really hard to put on a fun party look when you just have so much to do before it. I just have one tip for you girls, if you are going to do a bold red lip like I did with this look make sure you line your lips with a red lip pencil or your lips will look kind of messy like mine. Red lips always look way better when they are lined. I don't own a red lip pencil at the moment because I somehow lost it. I always seem to lose anything that is in a pencil form. Blah!

Want to look your best for any fun holiday party in a hurry? Then please read on!
For the eyes: I applied Too Faced Shadow Insurance Candlelight Eye Shadow Primer all over the eyes to add a nice metallic gold shimmer to the eyes. You can use any gold color base you have.
With a flat eye shadow brush I applied a dark matte brown on to the eyelids and then blended it into the crease with a blending brush. The gold base will add such a pretty glow to this look.
I applied a pretty gold eye shadow onto the tear ducts and right over the crease of the eyes.
I then added a really pretty shimmer white eye shadow on to my brow bone. If you think that is too much shimmer for you than just use a matte white or nude eye shadow.
Underneath the lower lash line I applied a shimmer copper-pink color that added such a nice touch to this look.
For the eye liner I used Urban Decay 24/7 GLIDE-ON EYE PENCIL in Crave which is a dark brown-black matte color. I used this color on my top lash line and in my water line.
For the grand finial I added lots of mascara to the lashes but if you have some extra time then just add some false lashes.
For the Face: I added my CC Cream and face power and a little concealer under my eyes.
CC and BB Creams are perfect for busy girls that just don’t have time to make sure their foundation is perfect.
For a nice rosy glow I applied a light pink cream blush on to the apples of my cheeks. For this step I just smile to find my apples and blend the color in a circular motion with my fingers.
For a nice highlight I applied a pretty Champagne high lighter onto my cheek bones and a bronzer all over my face. Not too much bronzer! You don’t want to look like an oompa loompa now.
For the lips I applied a nice bold red lip stain for that holiday jolly feel.
That’s it! I hope you this helps any of you girls and I hope you have a fun holiday even if it is crazy.
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover.

Makeup Look of the Day: Just a Fun and Palyful Purple Look


Hey Makeup Lovers!!!
The other day I was just trying to put on my makeup quick because my BFF was going to pick me up soon but I somehow ended up with this fun purple look. All I was going to do was put on one eye shadow color with some purple eye liner but that just didn't happen. I just kept putting on a little bit of this and a little bit of that and then I ended up with a full on purple look! When I was a teenager all I had was one or two eye shadows and that’s all I’d use for the whole year but now I have more eye shadows then I could ever need, and I don’t really do quick simple looks anymore.
Well I did do this look quick, it's just not that simple.
If you want to know how I did this quick but not so simple look then please read on.


This time I used an eye shadow primer and top it off with my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk which is just a white cream base so you can used what ever you have.
This will help make the colors pop more!
I applied a bright purple with a hint of blue color into my crease with my blending brush and then blended it out over the crease. I put a matte pink eye shadow over the purple and then blended the colors together
I then took a matte purple onto my eyelids with a flat eye shadow brush and then added a shimmery metallic purple with purple micro-glitter on top of the matte purple just to add the sparkle to the look.
I find it much easier to use my fingers when I’m added an eye shadow that has lots of glitter in it. When I used an eye shadow brush it just falls onto my face and makes a big mess.
To add a fun highlight to my brow bone I applied a metallic pink shadow with a golden iridescent micro-sparkle and I also applied this same color under my lower lash line.
For the tear ducts I had to use my all-time favorite color Shellshock from Urban Decay because I just can't get enough of this color.
For the eyeliners I used a dark purple color on my top lash line and then used a really black eyeliner for my waterline.
Then for the lashes I applied my favorite mascara of the moment which is they're real! Mascara by Benefit.
I didn't do much with the face this time, all I did was applied my CC Cream and face power and then added some bronzer for a little color.
For the lips I just added a nude lip color since I got so much going on with the eyes.
There you have it, my quick but not so simple fun and playful purple look. Say that five times fast.
What is your all time favorite mascara that you can't live without?
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!

Makeup Look of the Season: Disney Frozen Inspired Look!



Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!!
I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving Day and weekend! Now it’s time to have some holiday fun.
Well the look I created is not really for the holidays it is more of a winter look but I made this look on the night I went to go see the movie Frozen and of course my look was inspired by this cute, funny, and fun movie that is now on my top Disney favorites list. Yes I am 25 years old but I will never be too old for my Disney princess movies. :)
Okay now on with this magical winter Look!


For the eyes:
I prep the eyes with concealer and powder and then applied a NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk all over the eyes to help make my eye shadows pop more.
I went into my Vice 2 palette and dip my crease brush into Shellshock which is this pretty metallic silver color that I just can't get enough of and applied it into my crease and blend it out. I also apply this color onto my tear ducts.
This color adds a nice winter touch.
I then add the color Madness which is a metallic blue shimmer color with blue micro-glitter onto the lids with a flat eye shadow brush. You can color the whole lid if you want but I only went halfway with this color because I ended up added the color Prank to the outer corners of my eyes. Prank is a deep navy matte blue with a hint of turquoise in it but you can just use a dark blue if you want.
For the brow bone I added a pretty shimmery champagne color to keep the sparkle going sense there was so much shimmery white snow all over the place in the movie.
The two girls in this movie had big beautiful eyes and I wanted to add the big eye effect so I used an eyeliner pencil that was almost the same color as Shellshock onto my waterline. You can also use white eyeliner to make your eyes bigger too but I think the silver adds a nice touch. The silver color on the tear duct and water line will add the big eye effect.
For the top lash line I just used my favorite black eyeliner to line my eyes. Don't make the line to thick because you want the winter colors to be the stars in this look not your eyeliner.
If you want to make your eyes even bigger than just add a full set of eyelashes but I just used mascara for this look.
For the face:
After I applied my CC Cream and face powder all over I apply bronzer to my temples and under the cheeks bones and then added a pretty light pink blush to the apples of my cheeks. I also added a Shimmer champagne color on top of my cheeks bones to add a nice highlight to my face.
For the lips I added the same light pink blush color that I used my cheeks and top it off with a pink nude lip gloss.
O yea I forgot a step, I added the color madness underneath my lash lines. Opps!
I hope you makeup lovers like this fun Frozen Inspired look and just remember you are never too old for a good Disney fairy tale movie.
What is you all time favorite Disney movie?
Mine is Snow White!
Have a good day or night and don't forget that the holidays are about being with your love ones, it’s not about shopping for the best gifts.
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!
