LOOK: Sugar Plumdrops

How's everyone's Christmas shopping going? I'm not finished yet but I think I'm close to being done. I'm supposed to be doing some major shopping tomorrow or Thursday and hopefully by then I'll be done. I don't think I have much of a choice! I think my favorite part of Christmas is shopping for other people and wrapping their presents. I love to wrap present for some reason (but only on Christmas). I just get super excited when I go shopping for other people during this time of year no matter how much I hate crowded malls. I guess it's the spirit of Christmas that makes me think unselfishly of myself and that's why I get really happy about giving to others.

But anyway, this isn't technically a Holiday look but it can be if you want it to! This is just the look I had a few nights ago when my boyfriend and I went to dinner. I really wish I had done a tutorial for this look and my previous holiday look (click here to see) but I can't do tutorials right now since the lens on my camera is dirty from inside. The dust or whatever it is is visible when I try to focus it :( So until then I won't be doing tutorials yet. Hope you all enjoy this look anyway! Thanks for reading. :)

Thanksgiving Look

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving filled with food, friends, and family! :) I woke up around 2:30pm today (Friday) because I was out around midnight to 5am doing some Black Friday shopping with my mom. We wasted so much time just standing in line just to pay for our things. It was such a hassle. My feet were hurting so bad and I had a headache. Good thing I was feeling better throughout the day for me and boyfriend to go shopping as well. I didn't buy that much though. I'm not that crazy over Black Friday because I hate dealing with crowds and crazy shoppers who are willing to beat each other up just to get through. My mom and I had just gotten to the mall around 12:45am and these grown men were literally about to fight each other for some reason. I was just amazed how this single day of shopping can cause so much chaos. That's why I rather shop online. :)

So this is the look I wore for Thanksgiving. It could almost pass for a Christmas look :)  I ended up changing the lip color to a lighter pink but I should have stuck with the bold lip since I think it looked better. I also wish the green on the lower lash line was more vibrant but I was in a rush to do this look and I didn't get to fix it. Anyway thanks again for reading! I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend. :D

Mommy Makeover

My mom really liked my Autumn Rose with a Pop of Glitter look so she wanted me to do a similar look on her for a party she was attending over the weekend. I didn't want to use all of the same colors since it would've been too bright for her so I decided to create a more smokey look but still keeping a bit of color in it. :)

Soft Purple Smokey Eyes Look & Tutorial

Have you ever had those moments where you try to do your makeup but it just won't come out right? You have this look envisioned in your mind but it just won't happen when you try to do it? That's how it's been for me lately and I think it shows! Oh well... some will like it and some won't but it is what it is! I think I've noticed that I do better looks when I don't plan it so from now on I'm just gonna wing it. :)

Here's a look I did yesterday, which didn't come out the way I was hoping to (not surprising). I did get compliments on this look though, even from the boyfriend! This look came out a lot more vibrant and brighter in person, but still very wearable. My camera still has a hard time picking up the true colors of my looks. Anyone have any tips or tricks for me? I used a Canon SD1400 is. Anyway, hope you all like it. Thanks for reading! Enjoy! :)

Summer to Fall Transitional Look

For some of you who are still in school, Summer may be over for you now. I'm more of a literal person so Summer isn't technically over for me until September 23rd, but I am looking forward to this Fall season. I'm over this San Diego heat and I'm ready to wear my boots, cardigans, and scarves again. I like doing looks based on what season it is but I don't usually abide by this rule all the time. However, I tend to do more colorful looks in the Spring and Summer and more smokey looks in the Fall and Winter.

I did this look not knowing whether to do a Summer look or a Fall look so I decided to do an "inbetweenie". So I went for something a little bit smokey but still had a playful color to it. This look was completely done unintentionally. I didn't plan any colors ahead of time so I used a variety of colors from different brands of makeup I have. Hope you all enjoy it. Thanks! :)

Video Tutorial: Back To School/Work Look

Even though I'm not technically going back to school I thought this look would be good for those who are. Especially if you're a teenager and you're looking for an everyday look that's simple and clean. This can also be your basic everyday look if you're not going to school or a look for going to work. This look is very easy to do and you can substitute a lot of colors that I used. You can also darken it up a little bit to make it a little more smokey by applying a darker brown or black eyeshadow to the outer corner. It's totally up to you! Have fun with this look if you decide to try it out. Enjoy! :)

Series 2: Wet N Wild Lust Palette Look & Tutorial

I decided to do a series of looks using each of the Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Palettes (6 Pan). These shadows are really inexpensive and made with really great quality. Each color has amazing pigmentation with  smooth and rich, but never powdery texture. With a mixture of both matte and shimmer eyeshadows, there are endless possibilities to create different looks just by mixing and matching different colors from each palette. Within the next upcoming posts I'll be focusing on creating a look using each palette and working with some (or all) of the 6 colors.


Lust is a gorgeous purple/plum palette. This palette is great for a night out to give you really gorgeous smokey eyes. You can go as simple or dramatic with this palette and it's great for everyday use. The combination of mattes and shimmers give you the option to use this palette in more ways than one. You can dress it up or dress it down but I prefer to go all out with dark sultry eyes.

Look & Tutorial: Green and Purple Amethyst

Here's a look that first started off as something to do for fun but I ended up wearing it to my friend's party. I really had no plan when I first created this, I just knew I wanted to implement some green shadows and it pretty much carried on from there! I hope you all enjoy this look and tutorial.
