Face of The Day - Who's That Chick?

Hey everyone. It's been a while! I have just been getting back into the groove of things with my new job and planning Zoe's 2nd Birthday party. I feel extremely blessed with all of the new amazing opportunities I have been given. I am excited for Halloween and I have already completed one look! I can't wait to post it. I will start posting the looks in the beginning of October! Super excited. Can't wait to decorate our place with spooky decor.

Today's look was inspired by Rihanna's fun and gorgeous makeup from the "Who's That Chick?" Day version music video. Her makeup was so vibrant and electric. I softened up the cheeks a tad bit. I loved wearing this look out!

Face of The Day - Sugarpill Burning Heart Look

Hey loves! Super excited to show you this look that I did using Sugarpill's Burning Heart Palette. I purchased this from the Beautylish Boutique and I was so excited to use it! I posted this look on my Instagram and on Beautylish and received such amazing comments that I decided this look would be featured on my very first tutorial!

I still have a lot of improvements to make on my tutorials but I really wanted to get this tutorial up for you guys so you could see how I did this look. My skin wasn't at it's greatest but that's life right? I also look a bit more tanned for some reason. I am so excited to start filming more tutorials and create more fun looks!

Face of The Day - Peacocky

Hey loves! I am really excited to share this look with you guys! I decided to use my favorite glitter liner from MAC Cosmetics called Peacocky. It is a gorgeous turquoise glitter that I have yet to find any dupes for. I wanted to create a look around this glitter liner and I thought pairing it with purples would really compliment it. I also mixed lip tars again. I mixed Anime and Ophelia lip tar from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.

Exciting news! I am going to start filming tutorials on YouTube! I finally worked out my lighting situation so I can't wait to start filming!

Face of The Day - Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure

Hey loves! I have always been a huge fan of Tarina Tarantino and when I found out that she was going to be selling her makeup line at Sephora I was beyond excited to see what she had in store. I fell in love with the Sparklicity Pure a while back but only until recently did I finally buy it. What was I waiting for? They can add the perfect touch of sparkle to your everyday look. They can also work for bold looks with the perfect base. I purchased the Pure Nude and I really don't think pictures can justify how gorgeous and sparkling it is in person. I definitely recommend these for those that want to experiment with adding a bit of sparkles to your eyes, cheeks or lips. It is totally build-able so you can control how intense you want the sparkles to shine!

Face of The Day - Lime Crime Aquataenia Palette

Hey everyone! I am super excited to share this new look for you all. Here is a look I did using the brand spanking new Aquataenia Palette from Lime Crime! It is beyond words gorgeous! I can think of so many different looks that I can do with this palette. This is my first Lime Crime eye shadow palette and I am definitely hooked! I decided to incorporate all of the colors into this eye look. I also purchased the Lime Crime Eye Shadow Helper primer and it worked perfectly! The colors stayed vibrant all day with no creasing.

This product launches on JULY 5, 2012! Be sure to pick yours up!

» Overall Rating - I love this palette. There are a variety of colors. If you are feeling adventurous you can create a bright looking using all of the colors. You can also use any of these colors for that extra pop of color that you are looking for with a neutral look.  The color payoff is awesome! With a variety of 5 eyeshadows to use I definitely think it is worth it.

Face of The Day - Smoky Gold

Hey loves! I am trying to get all caught up on my posts before I leave to SoCal for IMATS! I am super excited! Last year was really crazy so I am going with a list and a game plan this time around. I really hope to see you all there! Please stop me if you want to say hello! I would love to take pictures with all of you and post them here.

I am really happy to post this smoky gold eye look that I did for my birthday this year. I was very fortunate to have Beautylish post this look on their Facebook page and today it was also featured on their latest article, Go for Gold! I had so much fun doing this look and I hope you all like it!

Hey everyone! Here is another look.I was definitely inspired by this gorgeous necklace that I picked up from Forever 21! I mixed Kava Kava and Grandma lip tars again. This time I would say that it was 90% Kava Kava and 10% Grandma. This is a really easy look that I did using my favorite Greed palette from Wet'n'Wild.

Face of The Day - Nicki Minaj Inspired

Hello loves. This face of the day is a look that I did inspired by Nicki Minaj. She had this really cool bright eye look for MAC's Viva Glam campaign. I thought it was a fun look to try to recreate. I know I am a little late but I am glad that I gave it a try. I have the sudden urge to dig through my old collection of MAC post cards and try to recreate some more looks. What were some of your favorite MAC looks? I loved Rebel Rock and Pop Mode.

Face of The Day - Mixing Lip Tars

Hello everyone! Today's look was actually inspired by this gorgeous lip color that I mixed using two OCC Lip Tars! I mixed Grandma and Kava Kava. I would say it was 30% Grandma and 70% Kava Kava. I love it so much. I think I found my new favorite lip color. I am going to start mixing more lip tars together to see what I come up with! I used the Greed Palette from Wet'N'Wild's Color Icon collection which I have just found out that it was limited edition! So sad about that.

Have any of you mixed any lip tars together to create a new color? Please share in the comments I would LOVE to see all of your different creations!

Face of The Day - Reel Sexy & Island Chic

Hey everyone! A little bit over a month until IMATS LA!! Who is going? What are some must haves this year? I can't wait to go! This will be my second year going! I hope to meet all of you there!

I have been wanting to use the Reel Sexy lipstick that I got from MAC's Reel Sexy collection. I love it so much. Currently kicking myself for not buying back ups of this color. I also wanted to use the gorgeous loose eye shadow sample that I received from my Glamour Doll Eyes order called Island Chic. This color is beyond. It is the perfect turquoise in my opinion. I really love this look because it's perfect for a nice sunny day out.

So in the previous post I showed you all my amazing new lip tars that I got from LeCosmetique.com. Here is a look I did using Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Belladonna.

Faces of The Day - NYE and Totally 80's look

Hey loves! It's a new year! I love the holidays but I am kind of happy that they are over. All of the over eating was really starting to take a toll! We are looking for a new place. I am beyond excited! Zoe is becoming more adventurous so we need more space.

Here are some looks that I did for a New Years Eve and a Totally 80's Themed birthday party that I went to awhile ago. You are probably wondering why I don't have any full face shots. First, I searched and could not find a decent one for both of the looks. Secondly, the main reason why I probably could not find a decent shot was because I am feeling really sad about my weight. I was eating right and going to the gym about 5 times a week. When the holidays starting coming around and the longer hours at work I just fell off track. I think I lost track on how many times my new years resolution was to lose weight. I am determined to do this. No diets or magical diet pills. It needs to be a lifestyle change. I need to become a better role model for Zoe.

Ok enough with all of the sad stuff. Time to move forward! Here are the looks!
