[Press sample.]

sugarpoplook11

Yesterday I swatched the Too Faced Sugar Pop Eyeshadow Palette for you, which releases on March 1st, 2015 for their Spring 2015 collection. As always, I like to put together a makeup look to show you how the shades perform on the eyes and give you some ideas for pairing together colors. This look reminds me of the beach: sea and sand. It’s got sandy neutrals on top with a pop of turquoise along the lower lash-line. It’s just enough to add a pretty glow to your eye shape and color. Full tutorial is inside! Read More

Emma Stone’s 2015 Oscars Makeup: Look, Tutorial, & Breakdown

emmastoneoscars2015seventeen

Emma Stone’s 2015 Oscars Makeup was everything I wanted to see on the red carpet. It was elegant, classy, and sophisticated, but there was still color involved. This is a look that absolutely every single skin tone can pull off and it’s actually wearable for both the office and a night out. Emma Stone’s milky white complexion looked absolutely divine against her eye makeup and lipstick. I’ve actually got the full breakdown of the look, as well as a recreation of it. I’ve got the exact lipstick that her makeup artist used on her, as well. Details inside! Read More

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in “Scorpio,” Swatches, Review, & Makeup Look/Tutorial

urbandecayscorpio11

I am a huge fan of the Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadows and they released 4 brand new shades for Spring 2015. After swatching the 4 new shades in person at Ulta, I left with Scorpio, a gorgeous matte black shade with a 3D gold-green sparkle in it. Besides the fact that this shade happened to be the most pigmented, I am a Scorpio, so I felt this was the perfect match for me. Read More

One of the brand new releases for Spring 2015 is the Laura Mercier Watercolour Mist Eye & Cheek Palette. When I first saw promotional images for this collection, I was enamored by the vision behind the shades and color palette. It reminds me perfectly of a muted watercolor painting or a misty, rainy, foggy spring day when the vibrancy of colors are just starting to peek through but are still muted. It’s a gorgeous piece and I couldn’t wait to swatch it for you and do a makeup look with it! Read More

Ariana Grande 2015 Grammy Awards Makeup Look & Tutorial

arianagrammymakeup8

Every time award season rolls around, I start setting up folders on my desktop to correspond with each event so that I can file my favorite makeup looks into them. Just this past Sunday, we saw some of the most famous musicians and singers make their way onto the red carpet for the 2015 Grammy Awards. I decided to do an Ariana Grande Makeup Look & Tutorial because I absolutely loved her dramatic cat-liner and very demure face makeup. It is surprisingly sophisticated looking since she kept the rest of her face quite bare and neutral. I am also using my all-time favorite liner today, Tarte Cosmetics’ Tarteist Clay Liner, which is a brand new product I have fallen in LOVE with over the past few weeks. Hands down, no liner compares to this one in my collection. The full tutorial and product breakdown is inside, Read More

Please feel free to change this look up however you please, making it your own and tailoring it to your liking. I personally love pinks and purples for Valentine’s Day, so this look includes plenty of that. I’ve got the full tutorial inside as well as the finished look! Read More

Urban Decay Vice Limited Palette, Swatches & Review

I was not originally going to purchase this Urban Decay Vice Limited Palette, but after walking into Ulta and seeing how gorgeous it was, it won me over. I already own Vice 2 and Vice 3, and they are some of my favorite eyeshadow palettes in my collection. Urban Decay does an incredible job at providing a mix of shades and finishes in each palette. And did I mention the pigmentation of the eyeshadow is always perfect? I’ve got full swatches of the palette inside! Read More

Morphe “Jaclyn Hill’s Favorites” Eyeshadow Palette: Makeup Look & Tutorial

jaclynhillpalette4

On New Year’s Eve, I stayed up until 3am EST, waiting for the Morphe “Jaclyn Hill’s Favorites” Eyeshadow Palette to launch. Morphe Brushes has a retail location in California and they also sell inexpensive brushes and palettes online, but Jaclyn Hill (a well-known beauty guru) basically broke the internet. The site was crawling and not working properly so I went to bed and when I woke up in the early morning, I was able to snag one of these. These were in super high demand and they are officially sold out of the palettes until February. I’ve got photographs of the palette, as well as a full tutorial and makeup look for you inside!
