NARS duo eyeshadow in Cleo

2011-03-26T11:33:00.000-07:00

So I've recently been on the hunt for green and blue shades since I don't have many in my collection. I've really been into coral blushes and I just think green eyeshadows compliment it so well. I looked at several different counters but I always get drawn to the NARS counter everytime. They have the most unique color pairings of any brand I've seen and since it's spring I wanna play with colors so Cleo eyeshadow duo stood out so much to me! A beautiful light seafoam green and a dark teal with teal shimmer. After swatching this I new I had to have it!!

transforming lipstick

2011-01-09T06:04:00.000-08:00

I have major love for a washed out nude lip but what's a "pale chick" to do in the dead of winter when she's become whiter than the snow? Upon my recent discovery with the German brand of cosmetics p2 , came a massive obsession with the holy grail nude lippy know as Rodeo drive! The Heavens had opened up and shown me the way the truth and the light! lol until the harsh winter set in and led us to hybernate causing all the color to be sucked out of my skin! WHAAAAAAAAAAAA, what to do? look for another? Then it occured to me to shop my liner stash and become Mad Scientist for a day! So happy to have found the perfect way to bring the brilliance of my shade back!!!! I found the perfect nude pink that compliments my beloved Rodeo drive! So are you a fellow pasty chick? I incourage you to check out what truly amazing things you can do by just adding a liner!!!!!

Current Obsession with YSL

2010-11-15T12:49:00.000-08:00

I'm not at all sure what started it, perhaps seeing the photo of the new Holiday Collection from YSL but it struck me as the most unique look I've seen so far this season! I got to see and swatch the new collection in a local German high end makeup store and just absolutley fell head over heels in love with it until dum dum dum.......the price jumped out and slapped me right in the face! What tha What $41 for an eyeshadow duo and then another $65 for the shimmering powder. Ouch! my wallet yelled out from my purse "NOOOOOO" so what can you do? Well I decided this look is easy to recreate I just have to dig into my collection for the right colors and maybe play around with mixing shades. One way or the other the look can be mine!!!! If you want to splurge on these items go for it and while you are at it check out some of the amazing colors they have paired together in they're beautifully packaged $41 duo!!!!! Or like me you can just draw inspiration from these beautiful combos

Pink Blush lippy

2010-11-13T11:01:00.001-08:00

Pink Blush by Rimmel has been my obsession for the past 2 months and need I say why! look at this highly pigmented soft baby pink! I see this being great for winter makeup looks with shimmering cheeks and soft neutral eyes (heavy on the mascara as always) lol definetely my number 1 of the year!!!!!

2010-11-13T10:43:00.000-08:00

What a week so far

2010-06-08T22:01:00.000-07:00

Ok so I just got woke up by my 3 year old Channing. He has been getting up around 6am for the past month or so (grrrrrrrrr)! I am so not a morning person. My usual morning routine consists of grabbing some coffee and sitting on the porch enjoying the silence until I have fully woken up. Well this morning I heard some crazy birds chirping that sounded very unusual (not a fan of birds by the way) anyways the sound was coming from my neighbors yard. I look over to find 2 ducks in a cage! (WHAT THE WHAT). Ummmm I'm not understanding their need to keep ducks as a pet. They already have a maltese and a bunny that constantly escape into our yard so now I'm just waiting for the day when I walk into out back yard to find a duck in our kids swimming pool.

Oh and for some reason I've been able to get on youtube this week. I just clicked and there it was, so I got to film my first tutorial. I have another idea for my next one and I want to film it on my flip camera and to do that I have to have access to the youtube website buuuuuuuutttttt wouldn't you know I tried loggin in this morning and it is blocked again. I don't get it!!!!!!!!

Kissed by Summer

2010-06-08T06:18:00.000-07:00

For the hot summer months skip foundation and play off your skins natural sunkissed glow. Use a shimmering peach eyeshadow on the lid with a deep bronzed brown in the crease. Use a brown waterproof mascara to finish off the eye keeping it natural.

For lips use a nude color like soft nude by revlon and a nice coral gloss overtop.
beautiful and easy for the summer days on the beach!!!

2010-06-03T01:28:00.001-07:00

Picked up a Conair lighted mirror for my vanity and I'm really enjoying it. Lipstick is revlon colorburst in blush. Eyeshadow trio in shimmering sands by covergirl and from their bright eyes collection this is the blue eyes kits and it comes with a little brush. Stopped by the local nail salon and got some pink glitter nail polish for 1 dollar and it is beautiful.

You Tube dilemma

2010-06-03T01:16:00.000-07:00

So finally after starting my beauty channel and getting familiar with the YouTube site we have been blocked from using it. We live in Turkey and they frequently decide to block certain websites that they feel (threatened) by. So freakin' angry right now. Luckily I can use my ipod touch application to view it but I am limited. I can search videos and comment like regular but I can visit pages or edit videos or even view my own channel.....BOOOOOO for Turkey!!!!!!!

Summer Look

2010-05-26T05:50:00.000-07:00

Ok so I've achieved my summer look. Very neutral very tan. I'm loving this look. My eyes are a blue green hazel color..idk but this look makes them literally pop off my face. So Crazy about it. For Eyes I'm using Nars voyage as a base with ondine in the crease. For cheeks I'm using Nars Dolce Vita and on my lips merle normans lip pencil in coco buff with Nars lipgloss in spriptease.
