A little update

2014-11-08T06:21:00.001-05:00

So, no tutorial today :( Pretty sad about that since I was doing so good with uploading them so regularly but, life happens I guess. I moved my room around a bit so it's a complete disaster! So hard to even get to my makeup, let alone apply any. I think my skin is thanking me a bit.

Also, my boyfriend has been having a really bad tooth ache the past two weeks but Tuesday was the worst. I had to make him an emergency appointment with my dentist because he was in so much pain and his face was swelling up. That was just a nightmare but he's doing much better now. That's also a reason why I haven't been able to film or clean up my room because I've been taking care of him. Excuses excuses excuses.

I did however, win a prize from Sigma. I won their 29 Extravaganza Copper Brush set. It cam yesterday and I am obsessed! Now I really do have way too many brushes. I'm not quite sure what to do with my older ones, I just don't have the room! Meh...

So, today I'm going to he spending the day trying to get my room in order. I feel like I'm going crazy with it the way it is. That's all I can think to say for now. If I knew how to upload pictures here from my phone, I would buuuut.. no luck.

Hope everyone had a great week!

Sparkle Baby Review/Swatches

2014-10-26T22:35:00.002-04:00

Finally! Sugarpill's Sparkle Baby palette!

It's finally here! Well, it's been here for a couple weeks now but I must say it was well worth the wait. I don't even know where to begin! Let's just start with the packaging, shall we?

No expenses spared on the cuteness factor. It's ridiculously adorable, just like all of Sugarpill's packaging. The palette is a sturdy, well made, magnetic cardboard which makes it easy to open and close. If you have the Cold Chemistry palette, it's the exact same thing except I feel the mirror on this is a lot more practical. Example!


Took a really quick picture with my phone = crap quality, sorry!

I've used the palette quite a few times, filmed a tutorial with it too and I have no complaints. My only issue is my lighting and camera, I'm STILL trying to figure it out but no matter what I do, it's hard to show off the colors in pictures for me. No idea but that's a rant for another day. Here are how the colors look, close up in the palette.

Kitten Parade was the whole reason I needed this palette. It's a beautiful shimmer peach with a golden sheen/sparkle. It applies so smooth and blends flawlessly. It is the most everyday wearable color that Sugarpill has launched (though I have no issue walking outside looking like a rainbow, some have issues with it unless the occasion calls for it) and I really suggest if you were to get just one color from this palette, it be this one.

Frostine actually surprised me. I bought this palette already liking all the colors in it just from pictures but specifically for Kitten Parade. Frostine though, it is such a wonderful frosty lavender with a slight pink sheen to it. Though a little powdery, it applies smooth and blends easily. I already liked the color but I'm just surprised by how much I do. It is the color I've worn the most from this palette so far. So, I say to you pastel lavender lovers, this is definitely the shade for you!

Candy Crush is ridiculous, seriously. This color is SO FROSTY and beautiful, I can't stand it. It is a minty light blue shade with a pearl finish, so much shimmer. I mean, if you hate frost/shimmer then this is NOT for you but for those of you who enjoy it, this color blends perfectly and applies very smooth. It is an easy color to work with considering how easy it is to build the color up for vibrancy or to blend it out for a nice sheer high light. A very fun color indeed.

Hotsy Totsy is the second reason I got this palette and honestly, probably my 4th favorite now. Though I do love the color and I have almost no complaints, I just keep playing with the others more. It is a darker, cool toned magenta with pink sparkles and a purple sheen. My complaint is that it is fairly powdery and dry so a good base for vibrancy is a must. I didn't have difficulties blending the color out but maintaining the brightness was a little more work than the others. I still really like it and would recommend fans of pinks/magentas to give it a try.

On to the part that gave me the most issues, swatches. I really need to figure out how to use this camera because this was just tedious, the colors came out too dark and muddy looking or too light and washed out so here is my best efforts!

I applied these on top of Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer, with my finger. Sadly this was the best I could do, this pictures shows the colors best, plus the sheen for Hotsy Totsy (which was SO HARD, no idea why)

I also used all of these colors, as well as most of the colors from the Cold Chemistry palette in my latest tutorial ( viewable HERE )

There we have it! I would highly recommend this palette. All of the colors are fairly easy to work with, are beautiful, and just so very typical Sugarpill! I do not think you will be disappointed and like I said, VERY much worth the wait. The price ($34.00), packaging, amount of product, and the product itself all seem well worth it, give it a try if you think so too!

AlieNEON Rainbow Tutorial

2014-10-18T17:16:00.001-04:00

AlieNEON Red Tutorial

2014-10-04T17:19:00.002-04:00

This is the original look

Oh wow, a tutorial for the first time in I don't even remember how long. It's been awhile though so I'm still trying figure out what I'm doing again. Hope this is at least somewhat helpful and that someone enjoys it. That will make this a victory!

Products Used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance- $20USD
NYX Jumbo Pencil (Milk)- $4.49USD (currently on sale at Ulta for $2.69!)
Urban Decay Naked Basics (Foxy)- $29USD
Lunatick Cosmetic Labs AlieNEON Palette- $45USD (They currently have mini limited edition neon palettes for $35 on their website too, just a heads up)
L'oreal Carbon Black Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner- $9.99USD
Maybelline Volum' Express The Mega Plush Mascara- $7.49USD

Like I said, it's been a really long time since I've done a tutorial... Not even just tutorials I guess, it's been a long time since I've done bright, colorful, fun makeup looks in general. This may not be the best but it's the first bright look I've done in a while that I've been pleased with. I got a new camera last year and I'm STILL trying to figure out how to use it and trying to figure out lighting is such a pain so apologies now for lackluster quality and what not. I'm learning though and hopefully in time I'll figure out what I'm doing. Okay, no more excuses, time for pictures!

Now, the first picture at the top was done using the Creative Me #1 Palette from Coastal Scents. This time using the AlieNEON palette, I feel the look came out a lot more vibrant and brighter which I liked a lot. I hope you guys like it too!

Urban Decay Electric swatches

2014-04-28T05:51:00.003-04:00

For Christmas, I received a $50 Sephora gift card which I seemed to want to keep forever. I FINALLY USED IT! When I saw Urban Decay announce the Electric palette, I have to admit... I was NOT impressed. Yes it was nice to see Urban Decay come out with something that wasn't Naked related with lots of fun bright colors but ever since Surgapill AND the Lunatick Cosmetics Alieneon palette, I really just wondered, "Why bother?" I have every color under the sun, in different shades, undertones, and finishes but since it was practically free I changed my tone to, "Why not?"

Let me just say I'm SO HAPPY I changed my tone. All of the colors are just beautiful and honestly, all the reviews/swatches I had previously seen had not done it justice. Let's start off with the bad which honestly, isn't much. My biggest complaint would have to be a couple of the colors feel out of place with the rest of the palette, like I can only do so much with them. Granted I don't mind being tacky and kind of crazy with my looks but even then, kind of seem like a stretch. Slowburn is pretty much what I'm talking about when I say this. Don't get me wrong, it's BEAUTIFUL and I love it so very much but when trying to do a single look using only that palette, it can get kind of tricky.

My second complaint would have to be recycling colors. Chaos was also in the Vice palette which I already own. Again, it's a beautiful color but I already own it. Not to mention it's not a color I use often since blues (darker blues especially) don't look great on me. I'm not sure if other colors were recycled but I don't have any of the other ones so I'm not complaining at all.

On to the good! Pretty much everything is more than great with this palette. I love the case! It's super cute, great/practical mirror, easy to open and the top stays where ever you place it which is really nice for me. I don't have to hold the mirror to keep it open, it just stays! Delightful. The brush that comes with the palette is also very nice and handles the colors very well. It's a double ended brush, one side very small and nice for the bottom lash line or inner corner of the eye and the other end a stiff yet soft eyeshadow brush. The eyeshadows... I don't even know where to begin! They're so vibrant, even without a base, easy to work with, and blend great!

I feel this is getting a bit long so on to the pictures! I'm hoping to do another post or two showing different looks using this palette so for now, just swatches. Hope you like them!

Revolt is probably the most difficult color to work with in the palette. You really have to pack it on for it to show up if you use it dry. Even more so if you don't use a base (which I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone do if you want vibrant colors that last).

Though I probably will rarely use this blue (because blues generally just plain don't look good on me) I still really like it. The picture isn't doing it justice, true turquoise, very easy to blend and not a lot of work for it to be vibrant yet it's more forgiving than Chaos is.

Slowburn is a red-orange with slight shimmer. I really like this color, A LOT but there is not a lot you can use it with in the palette which saddens me. I mean, I'm sure you could but I haven't come up with anything yet. It seems very out of place but other than that... It has great color pay off, a little goes a long way for me. I want to say it blends well, it has so far but I have not used this color very much to say anything for sure. Still one of my favorites.

Savage is a beautiful, bright, matte hot pink! Blends like a dream and just like most of the colors in this palette, it doesn't take much for these bold colors to stand out! I don't know what else to say since I'm a sucker for bright pinks!

Fringe is a metallic teal that I'm just in love with. It applies a bit darker than I expected it to but even then, this is easily one of my favorites in this palette.

Chaos is a very bold royal blue, why is looks purple in this picture is a mystery. I probably shouldn't even show this picture because it is a lie... Chaos is a very pretty color, an apparently fairly popular since I've seen TONS of looks of people using it but it's not for me. It's a bit difficult to blend out and can easily be too overpowering. Very tricky color.

I... love.. Jilted! This is a metallic fuchsia with blue shimmer. It's like Sugarpill's Magentric and Smitten had a baby! A very fun color and also looks very pretty if you apply a little bit on top of lip gloss! I can see me using this a lot in the future, not to mention this color works best with most of the colors in the palette.

Urban! This bright metallic purple is the QUEEN of metallic purples. Like Jilted, it works well with most of the colors in this palette and it really is such a true purple!

Freak is practically a dupe for Sugarpill's Absinthe! This is a bright lime green with gold shimmer. For me, this was the easier color to use in this palette, not so much for color pay off (which it has) but for has easily it can be blended. There's practically no work with this color and I love that.

I don't know why but Thrash IS my favorite color in this palette. Maybe it's because I have no other color like it that isn't chalky and difficult. I want to say this is a lime green but it doesn't seem like a correct description. A VERY yellow based lime maybe but it's just wonderful. Not chalky, blends great, and doesn't need to be packed on for the color to pop. Such a lovely color.

Now for the swatches! These first two were applied WITHOUT a base! How amazing is this!? Granted I did use my finger rather than just a brush... Is that cheating? I don't care, look how awesome!

And now with a base, it's practically the same! Savage and Revolt are a bit brighter but still... This is very impressive to me.

There you have it! Completely unedited for your enjoyment! Though, I maybe should have messed with the colors a little. It's very close to how they look in real life but I blame my lighting for being less than stellar. I hope this was helpful though and I really do want to do a couple posts for looks using this palette, what do you think? Yay? Nay?

UPDATED Sugarpill Elektrocute Review [Pics/Swatches]

2013-08-12T00:53:00.003-04:00


Review time!!!

*** NOTE: This review does not include Love Buzz at this time. It was "Out of Stock" when I purchased these but it currently in back in stock, I ordered mine already so when that gets here I will update this review to include it.***
Let me start off by saying this, "I purchased these with my own money. I am only influenced by my experience with said purchased product." Now with that being said, let us start the review, shall we?

Wearing Sugarpills Supercharged, Hi-Viz, Dollipop, Sparkage, Hellatronic, and Fantastic Faces Baybee

The "Meh"
I do hate to say it, I was slightly disappointed when I tried out these new shadows. Since Sugarpill has pretty much knocked it out of the park with their BRIGHT, intense, opaque shadows, I was hoping they would do the same with neons!

Though they are all very very pretty, a few (which I will get into more detail later) are basically just like any other neon in the sense that they can be chalky, difficult to apply/blend, and last a very short time compared to their long lasting and vibrant counter parts. An example of a shorter time would be... When you open the container, you will be smacked in the face with glitter/sparkle/shine/ect. After you apply it and maybe an hour or two within your day, it's practically matte (at least that is what has happened to me). You will also kick yourself if you accidentally rub your eye, WEAR A BASE!!!

I want to say I was surprised but really, I'm not. Neon shadows seem to be SO HARD to achieve perfection and I know nothing of making makeup so I really don't want to complain.

NOW! On to my PRAISE!
If you love a shadow that (yes, with a little work) can be so "POW!" in your face with brightness AND glitter... Look no more! I do warn that the fallout can be fairly extensive if you aren't careful, though even then you can still turn into a disco ball but man is it worth it!

These shadows NEED A BASE! Be it an eyeshadow primer like Too Faced Shadow Insurance or something along the lines of a NYX Jumbo Pencil. With a base, a careful hand, and maybe even an eyeshadow brush that is on the stiffer side, you can make these colors really reach their potential! I've worn these the past 2 days and I used an eye primer and a jumbo pencil, and though the glitter does seem to dissipate after some time, the intensity does not.

Sugarpill Elektrocute Neon Shadows:
All available here!

***Apologizing now for poor lighting and picture quality***

(Without a base)

(With NYX Jumbo Pencil-Milk)

Hellatronic- $16.00USD

This color is one of my favorites from the collection! Even though I am not a fan of "blues, this indigo shade has the prettiest sparkles in the entire collection! They vary from purple/red/pink/blue, depending on how the light hits it. It is long lasting and in short just a beautiful color in general.

Left: Dry, no base

Center: Dry, with base (NYX Jumbo Pencil-Milk)

Right: Wet, no base

Hi-Viz- $16.00USD

I can not express how HAPPY I was that Sugarpill came out with a YELLOW loose shadow. This is a BRIGHT yellow with a light green and golden sparkle. Though it is a gorgeous color, it is the toughest in the collection to work with (for me). My advice would be to PAT the color on, you really can't go wrong. If not, it can be chalky and sheer.

Left: Dry, no base

Center: Dry, with base (NYX Milk)

Right: Wet, no base

Sparkage- $16.00USD

Similar to "Hellatronic", this color has swayed me towards wearing more greens! This is a vibrant green with a yellow and blue sparkle. This green is basically the middle hue when next to "Tipsy" and "Absinthe". Tipsy has more blue undertones, Absinthe is lighter with yellow undertones as where Sparkage feels more like a TRUE green. This is not a difficult color to work with and from my experience, retains a good portion of its sparkle through its entire wear time. A great color!

Left: Dry, no base

Center: Dry, with base

Right: Wet, no base

Here is "Sparkage" next to "Tipsy". Sparkage is to the left, Tipsy on the right. Again, not so great lighting at the moment but in person the difference is MUCH more obvious.

Supercharged- $16.00USD

Remember how I said Hellatronic is ONE of my favorites? This one takes the cake, number one, absolute FAVORITE from this collection! This is a GORGEOUS orange, with gold/green/possibly blue sparkles.
This color is in the same category with Hi-Viz. If you aren't careful, it too can come out chalky, sheer, and not so vibrant.

Though this is suppose to be a neon, and if you pack it on right CAN be very BRIGHT and out there... This color to me is the easiest to tone down for those who would maybe want a more subtle look. By subtle I do not mean work/school, but maybe to a friends more casual party? It has just the right amount of "OOMPH" to make you the talk of the rave but also the potential to be the talk of the evening dinner out with friends without being too over the top.

Left: Dry, no base

Center: Dry, with base

Right: Wet, no base

MOAR PICTURES!

[More coming soon!]

In conclusion!
Would I recommend these colors? Absolutely!!! These are fun, bright, sparkly neon colors. Even though they do share some of the same problems as other neon eyeshadows (i.e.-chalky, difficult to work with), I have NEVER tried a neon eyeshadow quite like these! They are unique to me and really quite the attention grabber! Yes, I went out wearing them (ALL OF THEM... like, at ONE TIME). Yes, people stared. Yes, people probably thought I was crazy BUT! I did get so many compliments wearing them :D

Always remember, this is my personal opinion. I am much happier in bright colors so for me, these are perfect. They take a little more work when applying but the end result for me, is perfection. I highly recommend them to those of you who love wearing bright fun colors and don't care to follow the "norm". You won't be disappointed (at least I hope not :X)!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and I wish you all a wonderful week!

Tutorial Worthy?

2012-06-04T16:00:00.001-04:00

So I have a quick question for all of you. I was playing around with the new Sugarpill Heart Breaker palette Available HERE!!! and I came up with a look I am kind of torn about. I like it but then I don't so I'm curious if you think this look is tutorial worthy!

So, what do you think?

Upcoming Tutorials!

2012-05-18T21:16:00.000-04:00

So I'm in the process of editing 2 tutorials (which is driving me crazy and I'm possibly going to try a new movie editor)

But!! Here's a glimpse of what's to come, I really hope you all enjoy it and I am still open so any suggestions you may have!

First up! Spring is here with Sugarpill!

I really really love this look and I've been wearing it rather frequently these past warmer days and it's very easy to tone down!

Next up! Using my friend Adrienne Giovenello's collection Lipstick & Fishnets by MyBeautyAddiction (You get 3 mineral eye shadows and a lipstick for just $16.00USD! How awesome is that?! Review coming soon!)

I did 2 versions of this look, this blended one and then a... not so blended look which is easy to achieve doing the exact same steps (except the... well, blending) and it gives it a more dramatic, bold, unique look!

So, what does everyone think? Good job or bleh? I plan on doing more and I want to do more than just smokey and cut creases (though I do love cut creases oh so much!!) Going to try and mix it up a bit to keep things entertaining. I really hope you all enjoy this, for I did work very hard for all of you!

Two posts in one day, that's good right?! <3

I love Sugarpill and I can't wait to show all of you what I got (when it gets here which I'm sure no matter what, will feel like an eternity :( I'm so impatient!!!) Review soon, yes?

I've been wearing this look A LOT lately, it's very fast and easy while also being quite versatile (I think at least). Calm down on the smokey and liner and I'm pretty sure this could be considered day time appropriate or wear it as it is and hit the clubs! Why not, right? I hope you guys enjoy this <3

Products I used:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance-$18.00USD
Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette-$18.95USD
Sigma Brushes-$79.00USD

Tutorial Tomorrow! :D

I know, past 2 weeks I haven't uploaded a new video haha I'm terrible I know. I made a video and for the past week I've been trying to make myself edit it for tomorrow and I find myself just dazing in and out, sorry :X

But I'm working on it now, almost done :D I don't care much for it but since I've been getting a lot of complaints lately about my overly dramatic "drag" makeup I figured I'd tone it down a little bit. People are still complaining though, they say it's not day time appropriate. I BEG TO DIFFER!!! I've been wearing it a lot lately haha Anyway, I'm thinking of saying it's like a neutral clubbing look or something for all those anti-fun makeup. :P

Anyway, how do you guys feel about my eye makeup looks I do for you? I mean, I get asked ALL THE TIME how I do my makeup and what I use so obviously I'm doing something right, right? I'm here for what YOU want to see, it's the whole reason I started doing these videos. I'm just a little aggravated, they'll bad mouth my looks but never give me a reason why or what they'd want to see. I just get, "Ew, I hate it." "Looks like a drag queen, gross" "I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing this!" Well, why not?! It's very confusing, that or they're not trying to be constructive. Kind of like the "OMG your voice is stupid". What does my voice have to do with my makeup? I know, I sound like a toddler, I get it. I'm stuck with it haha. I really wasn't looking to make this entry a rant haha I'm sorry!!

Ok, so.. Tomorrow, April 2, 2011... Neutral Night Time Clubby kind of look NOT using Sugarpill haha I've noticed I've been using it so much lately, I'm going to take a little break from it.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Tutorial: Wide Eye Candy

2011-03-12T21:43:00.001-05:00

I've really been loving the whole "wide eye" looks lately and have been doing it kind of often and have taken it to an extreme (rather than just putting the white on the waterline, putting it on the whole lower lash line!). I don't know, I really like it a lot haha. I actually have another tutorial coming up that was inspired from this look and No Doubt's "NEW" video so I'm excited :D

REQUESTED LOOK: Hello Kitty

2011-03-12T21:39:00.001-05:00

This look was also requested by bluetigressmoon @ youtube. I did the look awhile ago (as well as the Ruby Gloom look) and filmed tutorials and now looking back, I really just wasn't pleased with them so I redid them and I'm still not as happy with this one as I wish I was. There's just something about it, I can't figure it out. In person, sure it looked fine and I did get compliments on it but in the video it just looks a little bleh to me :X What are your thoughts? Did I do something wrong? Should I of done something a little different? Let me know :D

Mini Tutorial: Winged Eyeliner

2011-03-12T21:17:00.003-05:00

<p>&amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;gt;We</p>

Well, you guys know how much I love doing thick winged liner. I can't help it, I just love how it makes my eyes look. Thin liner looks just so bleh on me so yeah, this is my go to liner haha.

My most favorite kind of eyeliner would have to be cream/gel liners. I find the last the longest, don't smudge, and just look really good in general, to each his own though.

This liner is available HERE. You could also probably get it at Ulta/Walmart/Rite Aid/Walgreens... Wherever really haha.

The brush (the angled liner one) is available HERE at Coastal Scents!

No tutorial today, I know, I'm sorry!! :X

2011-03-06T03:54:00.000-05:00

I feel very bad I didn't post a tutorial today (yesterday March 5th) but I think I have a decent excuse :D

There's a look I know I'm going to post but there were 2 others I was debating filming as well so I kept trying different schemes and products out and today my eyes are super puffy and sore :( I'm hoping tomorrow (Today March 6th) or Monday to post some for all of you!

There's my excuse, still friends?? :)

Also, for those who saw the eyebrow tutorial, how do you like the mini series? I'm thinking of doing an eyeliner one too but what else could I do? Any ideas/thoughts? Like it? Hate it? Let me know!!! Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hope you guys are having a great weekend <3

I'm Back Vlog!
