Sun of a Beach!

2011-07-17T16:33:00.000-04:00

I don't like the beach (I have a good reason, trust me) and I don't go tanning, but that doesn't mean that I can't look like I spent a fun filled day enjoying the sun, surf and fun, right? This look will have you looking like a sun kissed babe in no time!

Okay well maybe that's a lie... I do like the beach for building sand castles and relaxation, but I prefer to swim in water that doesn't inhabit killer marine life, thankyouverymuch ;)

The key to achieving a naturally beach flushed look is subtly, no heavy hands here dears!

My personal makeup style is a lot brighter and bolder than this look however I still enjoy these natural imitations of nature because it truly shows what an amazingly HUGE difference a little color can make :D

*sigh, google eyes* I love makeup!

Summer Breeze Makeup!

2011-07-11T16:24:00.000-04:00

Peace and serenity with a twist of Lemon! lol that's the best way I can describe the Summer Breeze Makeup look :) This was really fun to create and even though the person who requested this look was quite rude to me, I still would have never had the idea without her input! So thank you a million times over!

The really great thing about this yellow and green look is that we never used and green shadow! Yep, you read it right ;)

The combination of different hues of yellow and blue will always create a stunning new color and it's pretty friggin awesome to watch them presto change-o on your eyelid in an instant like that!

You all have been so incredibly supportive and amazing to me I feel the need to return the love... So since I''ve been getting tons of people asking for shoutouts I am offering up my channel comments for you to use to promote your channel! I know it's not much, but trust me, I have more planned for you guys in the near future... <3 xoxo

I also want to give all of my muffins as much recognition as possible so don't be shy and send me your video requests and if yours is chosen I will certainly shout you out ang give you a huge thank you in the tutorial! I am truly so thankful for all of you, and it's important that I show you that as much as possible!

YOU INSPIRE ME

2011-06-30T18:25:00.000-04:00

Your wish is my command!

Here is the second American Independence Day look that I promised to deliver to you :) I'm absolutely flattered that you all requested a second video to go along with this special celebration in USA history!

Shimmer shadows catch and hold light beautifully, so if you're looking to stop traffic with your eyes, ditch the matte and go for the shine! :)

The jewel placement in this look is similar to that of my St. Patrick's Day Pot of Gold eyes.

Missed the video? No worries love you can view my very first holiday themed tutorial right here!

I hate to break my promises, but I have to confess!: I am HORRIBLE at hair styling! So I was a lil over excited when I told you guys I'd show you what I was doing with my hair for Independence Day. I tried out my idea and it was a total, complete, undoubted epic FAIL!!!

See more funny fails and epic triumphs!

LOL, guess I shoulda tried it out first before I opened my big mouth, huh? (hehe)

I'll make a note of that and remember it for next time ;D

tweet! tweeet! tweet me!

I'll be capturing all of the holiday memories for us to share, so be sure to check out my vlog channel, so you don't miss out on the fourth of july fun!

After 3 days of effort it's finally finished lol! Took me a while to figure out my new editing program, but it's definitely worth it!

The Easiest Smokey Eye EVER!! (no... seriously!)

2011-06-12T13:38:00.000-04:00

Smokey eyes are ALWAYS in style, which is one of the main reasons it has stayed to popular over the years. The effect of this look will change your face dramatically, with ability to turn the cutest "girl next door" into a "life of the party" bombshell!

Remember that when doing your smokey eye look to keep your hair and eye color in mind, as well as your skin tone.

The standard smokey eye colors are, of course black and grey, but don't limit yourself, have fun with it! (^_^) For blue eyes try purple, violet or dark blue shadows. If you're a brown eyed babe like me, spice it up with coffee, copper or golden tones, and for green or hazel eyed beauties play around with purple, dark khaki, dark green, or plum shades!

When creating your smokey eye remember to use powdery eye shadows since they're easier to smudge. I also find that using shimmer shadows help create a beautiful fade effect without having to blend a lot. Less work for us = a good thing lol!

Keeping your lips as natural looking as possible is the best way to make your smokey eyes pop! The contrast is nothing short of stunning, so try using a light rosy pink or caramel shade to complete the look. (The middle pic above is tooo funny for words LOL so I couldn't resist including it... I guess that's my pouty vixen look *eye roll*) :D

Hey muffins! I could not resist sharing my darling baby chica with all of you! She's at such a fun age and believe me I am trying my hardest to capture every moment :)

As you can tell Selena (or "mini Mia" as my family calls her, haha) has an extremely LOUD personality...hmmm, no idea where she could have gotten that from? *shrugs* ;D

You all loved the first video so much we did a a spontaneous sequel! We broke out the camera during one of our late night pillow fights which produced the most golden 10 seconds of my life!

By popular demand my lil lovely will be making more appearances in future vids.... baby outfits of the day anyone? ;D

While I was watching Annie's video, tears welled up in my eyes. You never know who you're going to touch and reach! It was truly overwhelming to know that Annie, who lives in a country on the other side of the world from me, not only took time out of her day to watch my vid, but to also make us a gift! That is

GI-NORMOUS WORLDWIDE LOVE, we should all add into our daily lives ^_^

Thank you to all of my muffins who have embraced Selena and I so openly! GI-NORMOUS LOVE to you from us xoxoxo

YOU INSPIRE ME!

Spreading Love!

These chicas have hearts of gold! I am beyond flattered that they thought of me ^_^

AJ was one of the first girls I really connected with on YouTube. She's an amazing person and very wise beyond her years! If only I'd known then what she knows now lol

Imitation is the best form of flattery! I'm so excited that she shared what she saw in my video with her subscribers!

No one can pronounce my username lol, that's such a major fail on my part... I wanted something unique, something that people would remember... but I forgot to make it something that would be EASY to pronounce lol! *sigh, the moments we wish we could have back (^_^)

Thank you again to these lovely ladies and many more who thought my channel was worth mentioning!

YOU INSPIRE ME!!

xoMia

Thank You

2011-06-10T11:54:00.000-04:00

Thank you for all of your support, kindness, and encouragement. There are so many beautiful, talented people on YouTube and you could watch and listen to any of them any day of the week, but this day, at this moment you've chosen to watch me and I'm infinitely grateful!
