One of my favorite supermodels is the oh-so-gorgeous Candice Swanepoel, who also happens to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She has incredible eyes and bone structure, and when you couple that with the stunning makeup she often wears, you get a makeup lover’s dream! Her signature look is very simple and you can achieve it in five minutes. No, really…I promise it’s super fast. The key is to have glowing, dewy skin with simple cat-eye liner. Inside, I’ve got the full five minute tutorial, as well as all the products I used! (more…)
The L’oreal Paris Miss Candy Collection is a brand new, limited edition set for summer. The Infallible Eyeshadows in this collection are beyond gorgeous, and I was not expecting to like them as much as I did. In the packaging they look pretty, but once you open them up and dig into the product, the shades are very complex and have a duo-chrome effect to them. These are the ideal brights for summertime, and they are so pigmented and soft. Take a look inside, and try not to blame me too much when you want all of them! (more…)
We’ve officially turned the clocks forward here, and spring has almost sprung. This means that bright eye makeup is coming back into trend, and with the days getting longer and the sun shining brighter, who doesn’t feel like wearing some happier shades? I put together a collage of four eyeshadow looks for you that are super bright and colorful. I have tutorials for each of these eye looks, as well as the products I used, which can all be found at Target in the beauty department. Peek inside if you love color! (more…)
I always say that Target is the one store that I walk into for nothing specific and yet come out with a bag filled with various goodies. Sometimes when I am looking for something to do, or even just need to de-stress, I take myself to Target and peruse the entire store, even if I’m not buying anything. Target has an amazing spring beauty selection out right now filled with gorgeous, bright, eye-catching shades. With the birds singing to me each morning as I roll out of bed, to watching the sun set later each evening, I realize that spring is just about upon us. I put together a colorful springtime makeup look inside and show you some fun Target beauty finds! (more…)
I must confess that I ran the full gamut of emotions when it came to reviewing this product. The L’oreal Paris Feria Wild Ombre Hair Kit revolutionizes the hair care product aisle, allowing consumers to purchase their own kit to ombre their hair and give themselves the look without going to a hairdresser. I used to be incredibly conservative about my hair, never wanting to try do-it-yourself ideas out, afraid my hair would turn strange and unusual colors. As the years have gone on, I am now 100% a DIY kind of gal when it comes to my hair. I feel that almost any mistake I may make in my ventures can always be fixed (even if I have to Google it!), so I was mostly excited about trying this kit out. I love the ombre look on dark hair, especially when it cascades into a golden, reddish-brown. Part of being a beauty blogger is getting to test out new, and sometimes intimidating products, so I gave this one a whirl and just went for it. Did my hair turn out the way I wanted it to? (more…)
These L’oreal Paris Aqua Lip Lacquer’s are very cool and definitely one-of-a-kind for a drugstore lip product. When I originally saw these in stores I was intrigued by them because they reminded me exactly of my YSL Glossy Stain’s which I own and love. The problem is that the YSL Glossy Stains will put a hurting on your wallet, whereas these retail for less than $10.00 USD a piece. I have three gorgeous colors here that I am reviewing for you: Infinite Fuchsia, Everlasting Caramel, and Pink Resistance. My full thoughts on the product are inside, but trust me, whether you’re looking for a YSL Glossy Stain dupe or just a long lasting lip product in general, you won’t be disappointed. (more…)
My final swatch from the L’oreal Project Runway The Electric Fantasie Collection is The Temptress’s Kiss lipstick, and I actually think this one is my favorite out of everything I purchased. The lipstick is a bit darker and sexier, but not too vampy. It has this wonderful shimmer in it that makes your lips look much larger and it really warms up your complexion. This one is basically a fun take on a sophisticated, classic lipstick color!

Out of this entire collection, I was most drawn to the lipstick! The L’oreal Project Runway The Electric Fantasie Collection has the most incredible lipstick shades. The Muse’s Kiss has a gorgeous dimension and shine to it, so much that it almost looks like a duo-chrome effect. If you’re looking for something different than your average lipstick, you’ll find it in this collection! (more…)
I was instantly attracted to this lip gloss as soon as I saw it on the display. The burgundy! The sparkle! All of it was screaming my name. The Queen’s Shine is a hydrating lip gloss with some serious color and sparkle to it. This lip gloss is not actually the same color as the outside packaging, though it is still absolutely gorgeous. (more…)
I actually found the entire L’oreal Project Runway Collection for Fall 2012 by accident while I was in the drugstore. I turned a corner and bam, there was a huge display with a bunch of gorgeous new products on it. Today I’m going to be reviewing the four pieces from the collection I purchased, including this eyeshadow palette, “The Muse’s Gaze.” This one caught my eye the most because of the gorgeous gold and sparkling dark green in it. I thought it was just a little bit different for the autumn season, so I went ahead and picked it up. (more…)
