Hiiiii. My post today is going to be on the eye look I wear when I just want something quick and cute. Also, I think this is only my second neutral look? Crazy. I own 500 neutral palettes. Not really but ya know. You'd just think I'd do more neutrals. I just love color so! If you want to see how I do this look, click below :) it's super easy!
Hello there! Today I bring you a simple look using my new Urban Decay Vice 2 palette. I'm just in love with it. I don't own a whole lot of green eyeshadows so I wanted to do a simple, wearable look using "Damaged." If you want to see how I achieved this, click below :) also: I wanted to point out that some of my pictures just look horrible and I really can't figure out why. My skin looks very splotchy and weird in the picture after the jump, and looks completely fine in the final pictures. The only editing I did to any of the pictures was cropping so I just don't understand! Also, they do not look like that in the originals, I'm at a loss, anyone have any ideas? 
1. I started with a primed lid, and applied the shade Damaged all over my lid with a flat shader brush.
2. Using a dome shaped crease brush, I buffed a little Stash into my crease.
3. With a larger crease brush, I applied Rewind in the crease. This ended up overpowering Stash but I just wanted to show you exactly that I did. I also took a bit of Naked 2 from the Naked Basics palette to help blend out Rewind. I took a short smudge brush and applied Damaged along my lower lashline. I also applied Shellshock to my inner corner.
4. To finish up, I applied W.O.S to highlight, I used a Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal liner(in I believe Jungle Green) on my water line, and added some winged liner using the L'Oreal Infallible Super Slim liner. Yes, I used liquid liner with a felt tip! I feel like since I bought it, I had to make it work. It's actually a really nice liner! I also applied red cherry lashes in #43.
Annnndd that's it! It's easy but looks fancy. I really can't wait to do some other looks with this palette. If you want to see my full review on this palette you can see that here :) thanks for reading everyone, I hope you enjoyed this post!
Hey there! Today I wanted to show you what I've been keeping in my purse makeup bag. The bag I use is pictured above, and it's definitely the cutest makeup bag you've ever seen. I got it from Forever 21 for like 6 dollars. They had a larger one in pink and I should have gotten that one too. It's so cute! I love boston terriers, I like to say my dog is a mini boston because she has the same coloring and pattern but is a chihuahua. Anyway! Back to the point of this post..
1. I have 3 Maybelline Color Whispers in Go Nude, Petal Revel and La La Lilac. I love these. I have a problem of throwing whatever lip color I'm wading in my purse and forgetting about it. I need to take these out so I remember to wear them. Also pictured is a LOreal True Match Concealer in Light.
2. Milani baked blush in Luminoso.
3. Wet n Wild Lipstick in Fegie Daily. One of my favorite nudes. Also Palmers Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick. I use to use this religiously for my Chapstick, but stopped. I just have so many other lip balms. I stuck it in there in hopes of using it more but I honestly haven't.
4. Makeup Forever Pro-finish powder.
5. Maybelline Define-A-Brow in dark blonde.
6. An EOS lip balm in blueberry? It's from the Disney Collecrion they had last year with the vanilla and the other pink one.
7. Hoola Bronzer. This is my favorite Bronzer, I keep it in my purse because I don't often touch up my Bronzer and I want to keep this stuff forever! I can dream.
8. Finally we have 2 Maybelline Baby Lips. One in the Dr. rescue formula in Coral Crave, and the other in Pink Wink. No joke, pink wink smells exactly like bubble tape. I'm talking identical. It takes everything in me not to eat this stuff.
So that's what I carry with me makeup wise. I guarantee there are some lipsticks floating around my bag as well as some other random products. I really don't touch up my makeup that often throughout the day besides lipstick and powdering my face, but it's nice to have some backup stuff just in case. I also carry a kabuki brush with me but of course that's lost somewhere in the depths of my purse which I'm sure is so sanitary right..
I know this was a short post. I actually bought something awesome today to improve my posts. It's called an Eye-Fi. It's just a memory card that has wifi and will send the pictures from your camera straight to your ipad or phone. You just download the app and verify your card. Of course it didn't work for me at first and I had to play around with it. I think I've got it figured out though, these pictures were kind of the test and it worked just fine. So I hope you like the improved picture quality, and what I keep in my purse! :)
Thanks so much for reading ladies!

Today I bought something life changing, just kidding..but seriously. When this palette first came out I didn't pay much attention to it. I just recently took a real good look at the swatches and couldn't believe I shrugged it off. It's so beautiful! So pigmented! Never again will I neglect a new Urban Decay palette, especially a limited edition one. Technically, my lovely gram bought this for me. We have early christmas and I used my money from her to get this! Thanks gram, I love you! If you'd like to see swatches and a mini review of these shadows, and you know you want to, click below!
Meandering around Walgreens the other day, something caught my eye.. Something colorful. These brushes! They were so tiny, cute, colorful and cheap! This little set of 5 brushes was only $5.00. I'll be giving a general impression of all the brushes individually, then an overall review! If you'd like to see my review, click below! :)
So I went to Target a few days ago, for one thing.. And you know how that goes. So if you want to see what I bought, click below!
Hey guys! Today I wanted to show you my makeup for the day, and an impromptu Ulta haul. Funny story: I drove 40 minutes away from home to a specific Halloween store and they didn't have what I wanted.. Of course. They had just built an Ulta in the same plaza and you can't not go to Ulta when it's right there.
So from Ulta I got Urban Decays single eyeshadow in Naked. This is my most used eyeshadow I believe. I'm almost out of it in my Naked palette. I'll have to purchase Buck soon too! Next is the Murad Oil Control Mattifier Lotion. I've heard good things about this, it was expensive. Like, I can't believe I actually paid 40 dollars for a lotion, what the hell was i thinking. If it works I'll be forever greatful. If it doesn't, taking it back! Finally I got the Anastasia Brow Genius Kit in Brunette. This was kind of a whim buy. I had seen a couple people use it in videos and I wanted to try a new brow product. What got me is that it's waterproof. I'm an oily girl so I thought this would be a good product for me. It's kind of a process to apply. But so far I like the results. I plan to do a review and demo of this soon! It's a very different product.
Onto the face.
I wanted to use the Lipslick in Tanzanite I got from Oslo Cosmetics, so I kept the eyes neutral and simple. I started with Buck from the Naked Palette in the crease, then used Tease from the Naked 2 palette on the lid. I highlighted my browbone with NYX White shadow. Then smudged Urban Decays Perversion liner on the lower and upper lashline, setting it with a matte black powder. I added a little Tease under the black on the lower lash line. I used Eyelure 100 lashes.
For the face I used my LOreal Ture Match foundation, Rimmel Stay Matte powder & NYC Sun n' Bronzer. I also used the Brow Genius Kit. And finally the Lipslick in Tanzanite. The color on my lips is from one swipe, so these are greatly pigmented!
I hope you enjoyed this post! Happy Friday everyone! Thanks for reading!

I placed an order with this cute new company called Oslo Cosmetics and recieved my package a couple days ago. I'm super impressed with everything and wanted to show you what I got! If you'd like to see swatches of these beautiful products, click below!
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to do a little review on a product I've been loving lately. The new Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Resuce Medicated balms. I own a ton of the other baby lips, but these are different.
Coral Crave
Just Peachy
Too Cool
These are the three that I own. I will probably end up buying more. These are a medicated lip balm that contain Menthol. So if that feeling or smell bothers you, I do not suggest them. It is quite strong. I love the cooling feeling the menthol provides and smell is comforting to me as well. Staying Power: I find these last just as long as the other baby lips do, about an hour. That may be a negative for some people but I reapply my lip balm constantly anyway. As far as pigmentation goes, Coral Crave is a sheer coral color. Just Peachy is a more opaque, nudeish color. Too Cool is just a clear balm.
During this cooler time of year, my lips get crazy dry. I always like to use a medicated lip balm. These are cute, which is always a plus. But they also work well for me too. I've been using them for just over a week and my lips are definitely a lot smoother and softer than before.
I know some people have mixed feeling on Baby Lips but I really enjoy them. For about 3 bucks a pop it's worth a try! These Dr. Rescue ones are by far, my favorite! I hope you enjoyed this review! Have you tried these?
Thanks so much for reading!
