Smokey Eyes for the New Years

This year I have decided to go for a smokey eye for my New Years Eve look. I was trying to decide if I wanted to also make a video for this but I just recreated this look that Youtube Guru Makeup By Eman did. I couldn't believe how simple yet beautiful this look she created was, it really brings out the color of your eyes. Not only was it easy to do but I had all of the eyeshadows she had to do this. She also did a pink cheek and a netural pink lip, but I decided to go for more of a peachy cheek and lips. I know alot of people are on the glitter eyes trend this year but I thought I would just keep it simple.

Wonderful Findings

Today my mom, my cousin and I went down to Ross, and we were just roaming the jewlery section, and my eye caught this box that said Juicy Couture. I wasn't to sure if what I was seeing was true until I heard this other girl on the side of me calling her mom to come over to the counter to see the bracelet. Seeing that we were standing there before her I immediately asked the lady that was working at the counter if I could see the bracelet before the girl could get it. I know I know how horrible am I lol, but hey I had my eyes on it first! I was sort of reluctant to buy the bracelet because you don't really find a name brand such as Juicy Couture at Ross. I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. I am so happy I bought this pretty bracelet not only did I get it at a really good price which was about $42 (which this retails for $78), plus its the real thing! Sweet victory for me! lol

  I LOVE THIS BRACELET! ♥

Just a few.

So today my cousin and I took a trip to the mall so I could look for some jeans orginally. Well that didn't seem to happen because
I got side tracked by all the great sales going on today! I got a really good deal at Victoria Secret but those are personal items so I won't really discuss that here lol. We also stopped by the MAC, Old Navy & Forever 21.

 Things I picked up at Forever 21

I usually don't like wearing stud earrings but I absolutely love these! There were two of the same rings also but I gave my cousin one.

 I stopped by MAC and here is what I picked up



I've been looking for a really nice red lipstick for the fall/winter so I decided to stop by MAC and while I was looking at the lipsticks to decide which ones I wanted for back to MAC I came across Diva. Diva is a matte finish and is described as a intense reddish burgundy, but it looks like a brownish red to me. At first I wasn't to sure about this lipstick but I thought ooohhh what the heck your getting it for free why not try it! Well.... I tried it..... and I absolutely love it! It's like the perfect red lipstick I was looking for! Glad I
decided to get it!

Lovelorn is a really nice bluish pink. I really just wanted to try this color out also!

Last but not least(for lipsticks) here is Cyber. Cyber is a intense blackish purple and is a satin finish  What is there to say about Cyber? Well I can say that I really love this color and it applies smoothly to the lips, but it's a really and I mean really bold color to pull off! I think a really simple eye look would work perfect for this lipstick, no need to do anything extra because this lipstick stands out on its own.

I also purchased a four pan MAC palette and a MAC foundation. I'm really not a fan of foundation and I really do not like the way it feels but I do use it from time to time. I wanted to try a new foundation though because I simply got tired of using Revlon's Color Stay foundation. I picked up MAC's Match Master foundation in number 7.0( I know I'm late about this foundation) which is a perfect match surprisingly. I thought I might have been a 6.0 because it has more of a yellow tint but it kind of made me look ashy so I went with 7.0 instead. When the lady that helped me out applied it I noticed that it felt really light weight and blended in really easily. I just bought this today so I can't really give a good review about it. I will give it about a week and then I will tell you my thoughts on this product.

I'm Back!

It feels good to be able to record again. Ive been thinking of tutorials and lots more that will be posted very very soon, but check out this short video and I will explain why I went hiatus for 3 months!

Neutral look with a pop of color.

I really wanted to try the pop of color trend this year so I decided to incorporate it in my makeup look today.

Nice is Nice

Essie nail polish in Nice is Nice. I don't know if it's pronounced as the english word Nice or Nice(Niece), a city in France. I would understand if it was actually named after the city since this is from the French Affair collection.

Nice is Nice is described on the website as a "whimsical light lavender."

I couldn't agree more with the description. This is a beautiful lavender color and one of my favorite nail polishes to wear during the spring/summer, plus it compliments my skin tone very well. I definitely think everyone should check this color out.
