Kim K. inspired makeup...

This is just a simple and pretty fast look that was inspired by one of Kim Kardashian's looks! I think she is just gorgeous and she can pull off just about any look that she wants to... As most of you know she definitely wears a lot of the smokey eye look and this is just a lil more toned down for a very formal look!
For the eyes I used: smolder eye kohl from MAC and L'oreal telescopic liquid eyeliner in carbon black, as well as carbon black shadow to set the smolder eyeliner
Eyeshadow from the Urban Decay NAKED palette: virgin, half baked, smog, toasted
Cheeks: Dame blush from MAC and a contour blush(I used the L'oreal true match one for myself)
Lips: Stripdown lipliner from MAC, fabby and fresh brew lip sticks from MAC
Mascara used was L'oreal double extend tubes
I also used false lashes from Ardell
For my cheek highlight I used shell cream highligher from MAC with silver dusk iridescent powder from MAC to set it!
And on the brows I used charcoal brown shadow from MAC

 You can watch my video on how to get a flawless foundation to see how I did the foundation for this video!!
hope you enjoy and have fun experimenting with you makeup...

New bloggy coming soon!!

Hey everyone! So soon I am going to be possibly creating a new blog. As a lot of you may know already I am hopefully soon going to be going back to school for aesthetics and the reasoning behind that choice is that I would really like to start doing freelance make-up and where I live you are required so many hours of either esthetics or cosmetology to do so if you want to be paid or whatever else.... So I hope that you keep checking back for when I start that blog..maybe you could give me some good suggestions for names (makeup related with my name involved) for the blog!!

Bringing back the 80's!

Here is how I cut my shirts and it's super fast and easy to do... if you want you can even take an old shirt and practice with it!

 first just take any t-shirt...

 then measure about 1-2 inches in towards the neck from the seam of the sleeve..

 then just cut a simple snip...do this to both sides...

 and cut from one side to the other...i usually cut them one layer at a time...

 now you have your off the shoulder 80's shirt!

Have fun cutting up your clothes haha! :) Have a great day everyone! And I wanna give a little shout to my friend Melody...Happy birthday twin haha...love you and miss you!

Then for the cheeks I used just a shade of brown thats a couple shades darker than my skin tone L'oreal true match blush in W3-4, shell cream highlighter and silverdusk from MAC...and for the lips I just lined them with stripdown from MAC and filled them in with Plush Red from NYX, and then went over them with sugarplum lipstick from NYC!!

How to achieve HOT PINK LIPS..

So this is how I achieve hot pink lips. I use two lip liners. In this video I am using pinky and plush red from NYX...

It's super easy and can be a fun going out look!

Please ignore how awful I look in this video. Keep in mind I just had my lil cupcake not too long ago lol!

Have a great day!

I can exercise yay!!

So as you all know I just had a baby going on seven weeks ago so I have just recently started to exercise again....
Monday night: 50 crunches and 50 jumping jacks (yeah seems silly but it has always worked for me)
Tuesday night: I tried the Yoga Booty Ballet Cardio Cabaret Video (it's a lot of fun)...
I think tomorrow I am gonna try the Yoga Booty Ballet Hip Hop Abs Video haha! It was great even though baby was sleeping so sound until I started to exercise lol!

You can easily find these videos on youtube, that's what I did. Maybe I will be back to my old self before long...thankfully I don't have too much further to go YAY!!

Wedding/Prom Look

Ok, so I played around last night and came up with this look that might make a good prom or wedding look! I even did a before and after pic of myself haha!

Ok so I know how absolutely horrible I look here haha, but that's what having lack of sleep and a brand new baby will do to you sometimes lol! I even decided to throw in my bridal boquet for the pics below haha!

                                                                 Products I used
Face Primer: Smashbox Primer
Foundation: MAC studio sculpt
Concealer: MAC select coverup and Laura Mercier secret camouflage for under the eyes, Hard Candy green concealer to cancel out redness
Contouring: L'oreal true match in N8 and L'oreal true match blush in W3-4
Powder: Clinique pressed powder
Highlighting: Shell cream highlighter from MAC and Silver Dusk iridescent powder from MAC
Eyeshadow primer: Soft Ochre paintpot from MAC and Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion
and Blackground paint pot from MAC
Eyeshadows: Urban Decay shadows; naked, toasted, virgin, sidecar, hustle, polyester bride
MAC shadows; silverwear, naked lunch, ricepaper, to the ball, magic door, carbon, charcoal brown
Blushes: Dame from MAC, Revlon cream blush in Berry Flirtatious
Lipliners: Revlon natural, MAC soar, and MAC naked liner
Lipstick: MAC creme d' nude, Laura Gellar ethereal rose baked powder on center of lip for highlight(makes lips look fuller)
Lipgloss: NYX pink frost
Eyeliner and Mascara: MAC smolder eye khol and L'oreal double extend tubes mascara


Yes, it seems like sooo much product but on camera it's going to look way more washed out. Since this was a look that could be worn for prom, wedding, etc., lots of pics would be taken so sometimes you wanna wear a little bit more so that you will look more flawless and it will show up better. There are cheaper alternatives to all of it, I just used so many diff eyeshadows because I mixed quite a few to get the specific color I wanted, so you don't have to do that extra step if you don't want to! Hope you like it and have an awesome day :)!!

Happy Momma's Day!!

Hi everyone! So I know it has a been a while so let me start off by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful momma's out there! I hope your day was filled with lots of love and wonderful things! Today I picked my son up from his friend's house (he stayed over night after the birthday party he went to yesterday), then we went to see family because my sister was having a cookout so it was nice to see everyone!
This time last year my husband took me and our son to Lake Winnie, it's one of the oldest amusement parks, it's in Georgia! Since my husband couldn't be here this year I felt so blessed that he was able to call me from across the world to tell me Happy Mother's Day! I feel so blessed and honored that I had both of my little one's with me this year!
Right now I am sitting here holding my little cupcake putting her to sleep as I type this haha!

Me, Michael, and Elizabeth! She was being squirmy so I had to take the pics fast and zoomed in a lil bit too much on this one! But I still love it!

My two lil angels that I spent the day with!

 the flower Michael made for me

the outside of the card Michael made for me

...and the inside of the card! :) it says "Dear mom, I love you because you take care of me. Love, Michael" oh how it melts my heart the things my lil munchkin will do for me! He is always bringing stuff home from school that he says he made for me or for daddy! So sweet! I hope your mother's day was as wonderful as it could possibly be!
