I'm Back :)

Its been a while since I posted so here's what I have been up to:
I have been spending some time with my cousin and her kids, finishing school and working like crazy!
I have been working on looks for eyes. I am in love with the bareminerals color sex kitten. I have green eyes, olive colored skin and dark hair. This eyeshadow is a copper color with specks of gold in it. It really makes my eyes pop. You can wear it with black or brown eye liner, no eye liner and very black mascara. I suggest you try it if you are looking for something to  make your eyes pop. I think it will look good on any eye color.
 I know this was a short post but there will be more to come.
For now have fun and play with color XOXO

Makeup Challenge

I have decided to accept a challenge from my mother and sister. After sorting through my makeup I discovered I have 570 different colors of eyeshadow. This does not seem like a lot compared to some of the gurus I watch but you have to remember I am not a professional makeup artist AND I tend to only use about ten different colors. My mother and sister have challenged me to use every color of eyeshadow within the next four months. The colors I do not use I have to give away (I know three people who would gladly take them off my hands LOL). I will post pictures of the different looks I come up with along with the colors and brands I will use to create the looks.
Wish me luck in completing this challenge. Even though I do not use  them all I really do like all my colors. I look forward to this challenge.

Nail Art :)

I have seen so many tutorials and looks for the water marbling nail art. I have been attempting to create this look for about 2 months now with no success. I was so frustrated I almost gave up but today I finally got it!
There are few things to keep in mind when attempting water marbling...

1. Use room temperature filter water (tap water just did not work for me)
2. Work quickly or the nail polish will dry before you can draw your design
3. Do not use quick drying nail polish
4. Don't give up...practice practice practice

For this look I just used the two polishes for the marbling itself. The colors I used are Soul Mate and Zincing of You, both from SinfulColors

For the second look I used NYC's Park Avenue as a base color with Soul Mate and Zincing of You by Sinful Colors for the marbling.

I found by adding the base color the marbling effect was more visible. Now that I have figured out the correct way to do this I really enjoy and I am looking forward to doing many more looks with brighter colors.

About Me

I love makeup and all things makeup. I can spend all day watching makeup tutorials, shopping for makeup and doing makeup on myself and friends and family. Makeup can be used to accentuate a persons natural beauty and bring out a persons favorite features. I know when I am feeling blah I throw on some purple or copper eyeshadow and some mascara and I instantly feel better.
My favorite products I am currently using are:

• Revlon photo ready foundation
• Wet and Wild bronzer in reserve your cabana
• Fergi for Wet and Wild Shimmer pallet in Rose Golden Goddess
• Bare minerals sex kitten eye shadow
• Wet and Wild mega plump mascara
• Wet and Wild mega liner liquid liner
• Nars super orgasm lip gloss
•  Palladio Powder in Translucent

Peace, Love and Beauty
