Hey Makeup Lovers!!!!!
I cannot believe Christmas is this week!!!! I hope all of you got your shopping done because it's going to be crazy the next few days with all those last minute shoppers out there. All I have to do is stocking stuffers now but those are so easy and fun to do. All you have to do is put random things and candies in a cute stocking.
Any who, I have a really cute and fun makeup look that can be great for both Christmas parties and New Year’s parties.
This was one of those looks that I was trying to copy from one of the YouTube makeup girls but I ended up changing it with the gold glitter eyeliner.
Like I wrote in my past post I like to make any makeup looks into my own style.
Sadly this is going to be the last Christmas look of this season but no worries there will be a fun New Year’s Eve look posted on here soon!!!
I am really happy and proud of this look not only is it really pretty but it came out way better then I thought it would. If you are not loving the glitter eyeliner then don't brother with it but I think the glitter really make this look fun and festive!
If you want to know how to get the glitter gold Christmas look then please read on!
For the eyes :
After applying on my eye primer I added on an eye base in a shimmer champagne color onto the eye lid.
I added on a matte white eye shadow on top of the eye base, on my tear ducts, and on my brow bone.
For the crease I apply a thin line of brown eye shadow along my crease line with a small angle brush and I blend it out with my blending brush.
I then applied a darker brown eye shadow into my crease.
I blend out the color and then added more matte white onto my eye lids and my brow bones.
Before the gold glitter I applied on a black cream eyeliner to my lop lash lines first to get the shape.
I then apply the gold glitter on the black eyeliner and made sure no black was showing. You can have some of the black eyeliner showing if you want but I wanted it to look like it was just glitter eyeliner.
To finish of the eyes I added black eyeliner onto my water lines and black mascara to my lashes.
If you are going to a party I would totally add false eyelashes to make this look pop!
For the face :
After I apply on my foundation and powder I apply a red cheek stain onto my cheeks and bronzer onto my temples, under my cheek bones, and jawline.
To get a nice glow I added highlighter onto my cheek bones, on my nose, and above my eyebrows.
For the lips :
The red stain I used on my cheeks I also used my lips before I put on my lip stick. I decided to put on a red classic lip stick to go with this look. This is such a perfect color for the holidays!
That's it for this look.
I hope you really like this fun glitter look to wear to any Christmas parties.
I hope you all have an amazing Christmas this year!
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
Hey Makeup lovers!!!!!
Happy Christmas season everyone. Nothing like crowded stores, Traffic, overspending money, rude people, and high calorie foods to get you through the holiday season. I'm just kidding I love Christmas; it's my favorite time of the year! I love the lights, parties, foods, and music, family and just about everything about it. I especially love making fun makeup looks inspired by the Christmas season! Just like this easy fun gold and green eye.
There are so much more you girls can do with this look, but I just kept it simple for the busy girls out there. YOU can go more smoky or dramatic with this look but it's pretty just the way it is. If you want to know how to get this gold and green eye makeup look, then please read on.
For the eyes:
As always prime the eyes with you favorite eye primer, then if you want applied on a shimmery eyes base.
For the eyebrows you can used a shimmery or a matte highlight eye shadow but of course I used a fun shimmery eye shadow. Then applied on a fun shimmery gold shadow onto your tear duct and then onto the inner corners of your eyes.
Applied on a deep Christmas tree green shadow with some shimmer in it onto your lids and up to your crease.
Blend out the crease with your blending brush. I think I added a little bit of light gold into my crease too.
Then add more gold onto your tear ducts and into the inner corners of your eyes and blend the gold and green together a little.
I added a light shimmery copper shadow underneath my lower lash lines; this made my blues eyes pop.
For the eyeliner you can used whatever type you want. I used liquid eyeliner and then added a black shadow on top with chunks of sparkles. If you want your eyes soft looking then used a black eye shadow, but if you want the look to be more dramatic go with a cream or liquid eye liner. Like I said there is so much you can do with this look.
Of course don’t forget to add lots of mascara to your lashes!!!
For the face:
I didn’t really do anything to my face because I was just hanging around my house putting up Christmas decorations, but I would just add on a light color blush, a little bronzer and lots of high light to show off your Christmas glow!
I forgot what I used on my lips again but a nude pink or rosy pink would look good with this look.
I hope this is a good base to help you create a fun Christmas look for upcoming parties or gatherings!
Look forward to more fun and pretty Christmas looks!
What are you girls looking forward to this season?
Also would you girls like me to do a gift guide for this year? Let me know!
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!!
Heyyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!
I was going to tell you guys what I did to get this pretty sparkle with pops of greens smoky eyes but I did this look over a week ago and I kind of forgot what I did. I feel like I’m forgetting a lot more lately, I think it’s because I have a lot going on. I am planning a wedding, got my first home this year, and I became an aunt over a week ago. I just have way too much to think about to remember anything lol. I do remember I used lots of shimmery greens with a hint of grays and gold’s. I have to start posting my makeup looks the day of or after from now on if I can't remember what I did. Since this is such a pretty and fun night out look I am going to post it anyways even if I can't tell you what I did. But maybe this can be a fun challenge for you guys. Try to remake this look just by looking at it. That’s what I usually do when I see a look I like in a magazine cover or on TV by using what you have. Most of the time my looks don't look like what’s in the pictures but who cares I made a whole new look that I made into my own style. I like be different anyways, who wants everything to look the same. Makeup is about showing off your own style and being comfortable in it.
I am going to stop writing and begin showing off this fun smoky eye look!
If you do re-created this look then please send it to me on........

Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!!
My mom and I are so addicted to our monthly subscription Ipsy bags that we look forward to it as soon we see Ipsy take the $10 out of our checking accounts. We are like ooooo our bags are coming soon!! I got my mom addicted to them as soon as she saw all the cool fun products I got. I shared my bag with her at first, I would give her the creams she really wanted to try but after two months she just got her own. Most of the time we get different things in our bags so we trade the products that we don't really like. It’s so much fun because it is like getting a gift every month even though we are paying for it. Ipsy is still my favorite Makeup subscription but my mom found another awesome one that I think everyone will love.
Now there are so many different beauty products subscription out there but I never really paid much attention to the others because they are more money than Ipsy bags. You can't beat $10.00 a month!
When I moved into my new home my mom ended up sending me a 3 month beauty product subscription called GLOSSYBOX! Well it was supposed to be a surprise gift but she got sooo excited about sending the boxes that she ended up texting me about it that day lol. She told me about this box while she was helping me move to my new home and was saying how her friend got an Alex and Ani bracelet in her box along with products that are worth up to hundreds of dollars. That would totally make my day if I had gotten something like that in my box.
That's what's kind of unique about this beauty box and most of these give you a fun surprise gift worth about 20 or 30 dollars like a gift card jewelry, or a fun nail polish.
I didn't get a fun surprise in my last box but it was still full of really nice products that I could never afford on my own.
Most of these products are in deluxe samples sizes but there were a good amount of product in them for me to try out and see if I would like them. In most cases I would!
If I didn’t just move into my new home or saving for a wedding I would totally jump from Ipsy to Glossy Box because I feel like the stuff that you get in these boxes are worth the $21 a mouth! Well most likely I would do both of the beauty subscriptions lol. I love both of them.
The cool thing about Glossy Box is that you can send them as a gift to someone you care about and just make their day because what girl doesn't enjoy a pink box full beauty goodies in it.
Here are some of the things I got!
I did have pictures of another box I had gotten but I accidentally deleted them from my phone one day. Don't ask me how I did but I did!
If you want to know more or want to see what kinds of awesome goodies are in these boxes then head on over to http://www.glossybox.com/
You will love it
This would also make the perfect Christmas gift to any makeup lover!
I hope you all had an awesome weekend! I know I did I got to meet my newborn niece this weekend, I have to say this was one of the best weekends I had!!
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
Hey Makeup lovers!!!!!
I did this look a few weeks ago and it reminded me of the 60s makeup, I know it doesn't look like it full on because I wasn't trying to do any kind of 60s makeup look. I just wanting a fun sparkly pink eye to go out in. I do like this look I created but not on me. I feel like it made my eyes look super huge and felt like it just wasn't a good look on me but I did like the style of it a lot. Also the thing I should have done but I forgot because I was in a rush was to fill in my eyebrows I just feel like they look super thin and just not right lol. Most of the time I will do a different look on myself unless I'm going to a wedding or getting my pictures taking than I will do a look that I know looks awesome on me. When I go out at night I love doing fun and crazy looks that I can't get away with during the day. It's fun and that’s what this look is all about, fun and girly.
If you want to know how to get my version of 60s eye makeup then please keep on reading!
For the Eyes:
As always applied on your favorite eye primer and if you want your pink to pop then make sure you apply on a white base onto the eyelid. I used NYX pencil in Milk.
Then take a matte pink eye shadow with a flat eye shadow brush and pat it onto your lids.
Take a light shimmer pink eye shadow and add that onto the matte pink color.
apply a matte white onto your brow bones for that nice highlight.
Take a crease or blending brush and mix a gray with a burgundy eye shadow and apply it into your crease. After you are done cutting into your crease make sure you blend it out.
Most likely you will need to add more of the shimmer pink onto your eye lids.
For the tear ducts add a fun sliver eye shadow and also add some into your inner corners of the eyes. If you do not like the silver idea then used a fun shimmer white color instead.
To add some drama to your look apply a thin line of liquid or cream eye liner. As you can tell in the picture I am not great with the liquid liner but that’s because I never really used that kind of product a lot. The more you used liquid liner the better you will be at it. I’ve been using liquid liner more lately because I want to get better at it since I want to do makeup for weddings.
Don’t forget to applied on your favorite mascara to your lashes and black eyeliner onto your water line
That's pretty much it, I'm not getting into the face because I have been doing the same face makeup with most of my looks. I also forgot what lip products I have used that night but if I do remember I will updated this post!
What do you girls think of this look? Like it, love it, or hate it?
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!!!
Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!
Sorry I haven’t been writing in a while, well to be fair I have been writing posts I just haven’t been able to finish any of them lately. I have like two blog posts that I have neglected in my save files and two subjects that I have been wanting to write for a few weeks now. It's crazy how badly I miss writting in my blog but when I have time I'm just too lazy to do anything lol. I feel like all my weekends have been busy but fun lately but I knew it was going to be like that for me since I have wedding planning to do, a niece that’s on the way and a makeup job.
Saturday I had an awesome makeup job to do at five in the morning to put makeup on six beautiful women. Since it was a day wedding I tried to make the makeup simple but pretty. For the bridesmaids I did Shimmery eyes with some browns but for the Maid of honor I did a light pink eye with some shimmer and browns. I don't really have pictures of them right now but I do have pictures of the bride when I did a makeup trail with her.
For the bride I did a brown smoky eye with a little sparkle and shimmer to it. The bride (Dawn) really wanted a smoky eye for her wedding day but she was getting married in the morning. For a day wedding you really don't want to apply on dark makeup like the color black because in the pictures it can sometimes look like two black holes instead of the beautiful dark smoky eyes that looks good in person. Makeup will always look different in the pictures then in person. I know it sounds funny but it’s the truth. So for the bride I wanted to give her what she wanted but at the same time I wanted her to look good in the pictures so I used browns instead of blacks and grays shadows for her smoky eye. We both loved the way it turned out.
I wish I had the wedding pictures to show you how well dawns and all the girls makeup turn out that day but here’s is a picture of when I did a makeup trail on her.
Once I have them I will show them off.
I can’t tell you girls how much I love doing wedding makeup, I love getting to know new people, crazy rush of getting everyone ready, and I especially loved the before and after of all the beautiful woman I applied makeup on.
I hope you girls have a good day or night!!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!
I know I may always try new makeup products and rave about what’s new and awesome but the one kind of makeup I don't rave about to much is different kinds of foundation that is because I will only buy Redness Solutions by Clinique. It's not the fact I don't care or trust the other brands and the other kinds of Foundation out there, it just works for me.
Foundations are like dress sizes, they don’t work or fit on everyone. Not every bands formula will work for everyone whether it’s a drug store brand or department store one that’s why it took me years to find my perfect match. I always had trouble finding a foundation to hide my pink or red cheeks depending how I was feeling that day. I feel like people can tell what I’m thinking about by my 50 shades of red, whether I’m happy, sad, mad, tried, or drunk my face would always tell on me. So I went on a quest to find the right foundation for me but it took a lot of orange, yellow and other bad foundations to get there. Right before redness Solutions I would get one from the drug store just a shade darker to help me cover up most of my redness but it would always show up a little pink at the cheeks. That didn't really brother me too much because I would just correct it with bronzer and blush and no one could tell but me because I could feel how hot my cheeks were. When my cheeks get really red for no reason it would feel like they were on fire.
I didn't try this foundation when it first came out because I felt like I didn’t need it because I knew the tricks to cover it up but when I was having one of my bad days I went and brought it the next day. I haven’t really left this product since then, I would go and get a bb or cc cream for my busy mornings but for my going out full face makeup it is Redness Solutions. I have been using this little guy for three years now.
Now sense I am writing about this foundation I guess I should tell you girls a little bit about it.
Redness Solutions Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 with Probiotic Technology
This foundation is made to sooth any redness to the face and also helps to keep down most flare-ups. I have had less flare-ups sense I have been using this product for a while. It has both Probiotics and antioxidants to help strengthen the skin's barrier, and of course it has SPF 15 to help protect the skin from the mean sun. It is not a miracle worker but it does help make my skin look and feel calmer. I have worn this on my bad, good, and drunk days (night) and have to say it is a really good product for me and I won't be leaving it anytime soon.
Like I said it is hard finding the right face product for any skin type and when you do find it I would stick to it. If it works then why charge it.
I have no idea what to call this post, it isn't really a review. I wasn't really trying to write one. I think I just called this a bragging post since I am kind of bragging about how well it works for me.
Now if you are having trouble finding the right face foundation for your skin type then you should go to one of the Clinique counters first since they have so many kinds of foundation that helps certain skin concerns like age spots, dry skin, acne, large pores, and oily skin and so on. There are so many out there but only a few will work for you. This is the reason why I don't really do reviews on foundation.
I hope you enjoy reading my post!
What is your most favorite foundation to use and why?
I hope you have a good day or night!

Hey Makeup Lovers!!!!!
In my last two Ispy bag (glam bags) I have gotten two of the newest Urban Decay products. They’ve got a lot of new products out and more on the way!! You didn't hear it from me but the vice 3 is coming out soon!!! I cannot wait for it!!! I'm still loving the vice 2, I use the vice 2 palette all the time but it does not look like it. I still have a lot of eye shadows, I only hit pan on one of the eye shadows and I’ve had this palette for almost a year.
I should stop writing about what’s coming out and should be writing about what is out right now. I got to tell you I wasn't too crazy about these two products when they first came out because I already have so many eye pencils and mascaras because of the Ispys bags. I don't know what it is with them but they love to give out eye pencils and mascaras. I am not complaining because it’s good to have them for my makeup kit as well. Plus I’m always losing an eye pencil as soon as I’m am beginging to love it. Makeup is funny to me; I will begin loving a product or hating a product right away then my opinion changes after using it for a while.
I guess I should begin with the 24/7 Velvet glide-on eye pencil in black velvet sense I gotten this one first in my bag. You girls probably had the same question as I did when I first heard about the Velvet Pencil. How is this so different from Urban Decays Glide-on Pencil? Yes it does have the same benefits as the original 24/7 Glide-on Pencils:
Creamy to glide on and to blend
Waterproof for a long lasing results
SO what are the differences?
This product is made for the smoky eyes lovers! This pencil blends way easier to help you create those soft smoky velvet edges that so many of you makeup lovers crave in a smoky eye. This pencil in my opinion makes the perfect smoky lines than any other pencil I have used. The ones that did the same effort as these Velvet pencils wouldn’t stay in place but after this product sets it stays on until you take it off, but it is does not stay on my waterlines good as original 24/7 Pencils. These Pencil were made for smudging unlike their siblings the 24/7 pencil. They are really hard to smudge because they set in 30 seconds. I feel like it takes a minute or so for the Velvet to set but you still need to work fast with them but not as fast as 30 seconds. As you see both the Pencils have pros and cons to them but their pros are amazing.
The 24/7 Velvet Pencils come in six different velvet colors for $20 each on urbandecay.com, Sephora.com, and ulta.com
Perversion Mascara
Bigger. Blacker. Badder.
How many times have we herd companies saying how they made a clump free lengthening and volumizing black mascara that clumps and didn’t do one or the other? Tons!
Urban Decay did a really awesome job on their formula, it is so creamy that it glides onto my lashes like a dream. I love how it is so buildable, I can pile on as much mascara I need without fallouts and added clumps upon clumps. Urban Decay claims that you can add more mascara on hours later to touch up on your lashes without it clumping on you. I tried it out and they were right, you can touch up on your mascara which is pretty useful for the day to night people that want to touch up on their makeup. Perversion will make your eyes bigger and brighter while given you long lasting beautiful clump free lashes. I feel like this product gives you the right amount of length to the lashes. I’m really liking this mascara more every time I use it. When I don’t have time to add any makeup I just put this onto my lashes and I look brighter and awake. I’m not saying this is the best mascara ever because after using so many mascaras I've come to find out there is no such thing as a perfect Mascara or any product for that matter, but there are really good products out in this big world of beauty and this is one of them!
The Perversion Mascara is $22 on urbandecay.com Sephora.com,ulta.com and they all come with a free deluxe sample of Subversion Lash Primer
I only have on the Mascara on in this pic, I wore a different one of the original 24/7 eyeliner today. It was the color twice baked.
I hope this review help you girls out! If it did don't just thank me, you also need to thank my cute assistant Duke!
I hope you have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
