Selena Gomez MTV Movie Awards 2013 Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Hi everyone! Here's a look inspired by Selena Gomez's makeup during her performance on the MTV Movie Awards. I'm actually a big fan of her and I think she's so beautiful naturally. When I saw her makeup I just knew I had to recreate it. Although my look came out quite different from hers, I still think it's a great rendition of what she had on. Hope you all like it!

Royal Blue Eyeliner Look

Here's the look I wore when my boyfriend and I went out to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. This look was inspired by a girl named Kristina Monique. I love her name by the way ;) I fell in love with her makeup when she was featured in Pursebuzz's videos. I automatically had to recreate it and I knew I had the most perfect blue eyeliner to go with it. It's a shame that MAC came out with such an amazing product and discontinued it. Had I known they were going to do that I probably would've purchased another jar of Royal Wink Fluidline... or maybe 10 :P But that's okay because I know there's a dupe for it somewhere out there and I believe there is one by Sephora called Fancy Blue. It looks just about right or damn near close to it! I'm probably going to purchase the Sephora liner and keep my Royal Wink Fluidline some place safe because I don't know what I would do without it!

Brown Smokey Eyes

I don't know what it is but I have this extra crease on my left eye and it's been there for a few weeks now. It bothers me so much! It makes my eye look swollen. I'm not sure if it's because of allergies or not but I just hope it goes away soon! :( Oh and I don't like how this look came out.. but I'm posting it anyway. :)

Glittery Blue Makeup for New Years

Hi! Here's my first festive look for New Years using glitter. I wish it was more glittery but I'll try to incorporate more of that in another look. I used clear lash adhesive to apply the glitter onto my eyelid. I always use this technique especially with glitter because it lasts so much longer without fading or creasing.

LOOK: Smoke and Ice

I just finished my last class of Business Law on Tuesday. You can't imagine how much work I had to do this past week. But now that that's over I have time to update my blog until I start my next class again :) With Winter on its way and really cold weather here in San Diego (60 degrees is considered cold to me!) all I want to do is stay cozy indoors, which is one of the reasons why I haven't done any looks lately. But because I got one of my classes out of the way I've made some time to start blogging again. Hopefully I can get back into doing tutorials as well because I kind of miss those. :)

LOOK: Smokey Teal with a Pop of Red + Tutorial

This look is actually an inspired and recreated look of YouTube Guru Jazziebabycakes' Painted Lady tutorial. She's super talented and I'm a huge fan of her work and when I was browsing through her videos I fell in love with this so I decided to do my rendition of it. I think it came out a little bit sloppy (compared to hers). It was really late and my eyes kept watering but I kept going! I had a lot of fun doing this look because it's definitely something that I'm not used to. But it's nice to step out of my comfort zone every now and then. :) Thanks for reading! Enjoy! :)

Series 3: Wet N Wild Greed 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. Greed is a palette that really caught my attention because I never thought of putting these types of colors together. Unfortunately I didn't have the best luck with this palette. At first sight I thought the colors were really elegant and I thought the colors would be vibrant. The colors turned out to be just okay. I had this look in my head but when I tried to recreate it, it just didn't turn out the way I had hoped. The shimmer colors were the most disappointing because they had the least pigmentation. Overall, this palette would go great for something to wear everyday. I almost didn't want to do a tutorial for it because it didn't seem "tutorial worthy" but since I promised you guys this, here it is! For anyone who has tried this palette or plans to, I hope that you have better luck with it than me. Enjoy! Note: I'll be doing a product review for the lenses I'm wearing in this look. Stay tuned!

A Starry Midnight Sky in the Forest

Haha I know right? My title sounds like it should be the title of a poem or something. I just didn't want go with your basic "Smokey Green With a Hint of Purple & Yellow" title. Anyway, I know this look is super dark and smokey, basically everything that doesn't scream summer. I just really wanted to use my all-time favorite pigment (Forest Green) and there's really no better way to use it than with a smokey eye. Hope you all like it!
