MAC Taste Temptation Lipsticks

Hey everyone! I wanted to post some swatches of the two lipsticks I got from the MAC Taste Temptation Collection. Macy*s was having an early preview event during Black Friday. I picked up two of the mattene lipsticks, Seductive Intent and Night Blooming. Both of these colors are absolutely gorgeous. Seductive Intent has to be my favorite because this color is perfect for Winter!

MAC Taste Temptation will be sold online on December 6 and in-stores on December 13.

OCC Heroine Lip Tar Swatches & Review

Hi everyone! I am super excited to post some lip swatches of a majority of the brand spanking new lip tars from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. I purchased 4 out of the 6 new lip tars from LeCosmetique.com. The two lip tars that I did not get were Psycho and Marion. Reason being was that I felt like I had colors quite similar to those colors. I might just cave in the future and purchase them but for now I will use my close dupes!

The new lip tars come from OCC's Heroine Collection for their Fall/Winter Campaign. Along with the new lip tars the Heroine collection features new colour concentrate, creme concentrate, cosmetic glitter, and their ever so glamorous nail lacquers. I love this whole collection! I definitely recommend that you all give it a look!

Black Dahlia Blackest Blackened Red - This is my favorite lip tar out of the new collection. It is a dark red that would stunning on all skin tones. It looks almost black in the tube but once applied it lightens up to this deep red. You need to blend it a few times with your lip brush to even out the color. I would also suggest using a lip liner or a reverse lip liner. It did feather a tad bit around my cupid's bow but I did not use any lip liner.

Lydia Dark Room Plum - I was beyond excited to see that they named this lip tar after Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice. This color seems the most daytime wearable out the bunch. It is more on the pink side than plum in my opinion but is still beautiful. It would go great with any makeup look.

Starling Deeply Rusted Auburn - This one reminds me of fall/winter. I think of Halloween & Thanksgiving. I don't have a color quite like this one. It had a bit of a more watery texture. I don't know if I got a bad one but it still had awesome color pay off! 

Sybil Midnight Brownout - Sybil is a deep gorgeous brown. This color was opaque and did not feather. It is definitely a statement lip which makes it that much more awesome. I can not wait to pair this with an intense liner look. Definitely a great deep, dark color for fall!

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!

Shopping Goodies - MAC By Request

Hello! I had a lovely package waiting for me and my parents house yesterday! My MAC By Request lipsticks have arrived. The whole launch for this collection was pretty intense. MAC released it a bit early so everyone was up late placing their orders. Candy Yum-Yum sold out really fast and I was super happy that I got a chance to get one. I missed out on this lipstick from the Quite Cute collection and let me tell you, this color is so vibrant and gorgeous. I love all of the different lipsticks and they are my favorite matte finish!I can't wait to start using these lipsticks with different looks. What did you all get from the MAC By Request collection?

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!

IMATS 2012

Hey everyone! I am a few months late but here are the fun pictures that I took at IMATS 2012 LA. Better late than never right? This is the second year that I attended the International Makeup Artist Trade Show. I was so blown away last year on how amazing the experience was and I knew that I would definitely start attending every year! This year I got there really early but the line was already wrapped around the whole convention center. When we got in it was not crowded at all. My sister and I hit up all of our favorite booths. We did some MAJOR damage this year but I don't have any regrets. I was in heaven. I loved seeing all of the different brands and meeting a variety of new people. The artistry was insane! I was among some of Hollywood's makeup elite. Ve Neill was having a class that I am still kicking myself from missing out on.

Afterwards, we attended another amazing event by Beautylish. It took place in a beautiful restaurant in Pasadena. I love talking to the entire Beautylish team and mingling with awesome Beauty Gurus! It was so much fun!!!

If you have not attended IMATS I highly recommend that you check it out. You get to mingle with fellow beauty lovers, explore the variety of brands, and take advantage of awesome discounts! We already have our hotel booked for IMATS 2013 which by the way has been moved to January instead of June. I can't wait to see you all there!

Lime Crime had a beautiful booth! I got a lot of gorgeous lipsticks and the new Aquataenia Palette.

I went a tad bit crazy at the Ardell booth. One of each please!

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!
