I do have a FOTD that I took a while ago, but never uploaded. Until I get back fully, I'll leave you with this look. I will be back very shortly. I have a July Favorites coming up real soon. Have a good weekend!!

Hey Y'all,

So here is a look that I did while in Vegas. I was going out on the town for a night and loved the way this turned out, so I took pictures of it. I also used the lip products that I bought at Sephora. I am loving Obey lipstick with dark eye makeup looks. I got inspired while watching this tutorial from whatstyleistonickel on YouTube. This is a look with reflects teal glitter and grape pigment. I didn't use all the products he did, but I absolutely love the way this turned out. I will definitely do this look again. The reflects glitters are the best!! Anyways, onto the look.....

Hey ya'll

While I was in Vegas I got a chance to go to two of my favorite stores, Sephora and MAC. The Sephora I went to is at The Venetian Canal Shoppes. The sales lady said it was the biggest Sephora store in Vegas, and I sure do believe her. It was the biggest and nicest Sephora I have ever been in. It was a makeup lover's heaven!! I finally got to check out Illamasqua in person, and that's mainly what I purchased. Although, their selection of brands was out of this world, they were out of a lot of things. Also some of the things I picked up thinking it was what I wanted, when I got them back to the hotel it was a different color. That's partly my fault for not checking to see that I had the color right, but they also didn't have things in their right spot. Here are some pics of the store and my haul.

Hey Ya'll,

While I was in Vegas I decided to do a look I haven't tried before...Pin Up!! I have always wanted to try one, but never really got up the nerve. Well, except for the Sexy Devil look I did for Halloween. I decided to try this because its Vegas, and anything goes. I was going to a Barry Manilow show, and I decided since he is an older artist that I might as well go with classic red lips. I absolutely love the way this turned out. I'm not as scared of red lips anymore, and I think I'll be wearing them out on the town more often. Here comes the look.....

Hey ya'll

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I've got a FOTN coming to ya today. Over the weekend, I went to a Musical at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. I chose to do a smokey eye and re-create one of my favorite makeup looks. One of my makeup inspirations is Kim Kardashian. Her makeup always looks great, and I love her signature smokey eye. I was watching the tutorial that her and one of her makeup artists Stephen Moleski did on YouTube, and decided to re-create the look. I had recently ordered Contrast eyeshadow which they use in the video, and I really like it. It is a dark purple-blue color, and it looks great in the crease. My look doesn't look exactly like hers, but its pretty close. I didn't go as dark on the eyes. The tutorial is a must watch for anyone that likes Kim Kardashian's makeup. The video comes in four parts, so I will link it at the end of the post. Here come the products and pictures....

Hey Everyone,

Over the weekend I celebrated my 26th birthday. Friday night was girls night, and we went to see one of my favorite bands. Saturday night was my birthday party, and that was fun even though the weather was crappy. Sunday was my actual birthday, and I was so tired from the weekend that I just had a relaxing day at home. My makeup look for each night definitely had a theme....smokey purples!! I love my purple eyeshadow, so I knew my looks had to have purple in them. For my party look, I spiced it up a bit and added glitter. As you know, I love my glitter.  I didn't get to take too many pictures for Friday night's look as I was in a little bit of a rush. However, I do remember what eye shadows I wore and I'll post a full break down. Also in these pictures you can see my new hair color. I chose to go a little lighter for Spring, and I am loving it!! Overall, I had a nice birthday weekend and I'm looking forward to a great new year!! Here are some pics from both nights.

Makeup Pics....

Hey everyone,

Did everyone have a good weekend? This weekend I actually got to relax since the presentations I had to do are now over and I can breathe again. Now I can get back to regularly posting. This March favorites post is way overdue, so I am calling it my March/Mid April favortes. I figured since I had the photos to not waste it and still show you what I've been using. So, here it goes.....

Whenever I go to Daytona, I must stop at the CCO in St. Augustine on the way. They always have a great selection there, and this time did not disappoint. I picked up a few things that I had wanted previously, but didn't get the chance to get. Here is what I got......




Perfect Topping MSF

Perfect Topping came out last year with the Sugarsweet collection. That collection had two MSF's with it. This one and Refined. At the time I chose to buy Refined. Honestly, I don't know why I bought Refined instead of Perfect Topping. I hardly ever use Refined, and I can see me using Perfect Topping a lot. PT is a gorgeous pink and purple swirl MSF in the pan, and when applied it gives the skin a nice pink glow. I used it at the beach several times, and I love it!!

Naked Honey Salve

This came out with the Naked Honey collection last may. Its a salve that can be used anywhere the skin is dry and needs a little moisture. I use it on my lips, and it is great. It stays on and makes my lips feel very soft. The pan is huge with a lot of product in it, so it should last me a while. I'm glad I waited on this one though.

Golden Olive and Push The Edge Pigments


Push The Edge was released last year with the big fall collection. I wanted to wait on that one too, because I really like buying pigments cheaper than $19.50. I think I payed 13.75 for these. Anyways, PTE is a nice purple color. I love purples, so I knew I wanted it.

So, that is it for my haul. I think I got some cool things. Has anyone found anything good at a CCO lately?

Later......
