Dreaming of summer...

With the snowy, cold weather that seems to never end, I wanted to do a makeup look that reminded me of the warmer days ahead. This picture inspired me:

The orange, pink, and purple sky is so beautiful!! So, I did an eye makeup tutorial based on this.

Products used:

• Coastal Scents 88 palette (the matte and satin one--not the shimmer)
• L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black
• Ulta Single Eyeshadow in Silk
• L'Oreal Le Kohl Eye Pencil in Onyx

Try it yourself, and let us know what you think!! I'll be doing a tutorial soon on the Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer vs Matter/Satin 88 palettes. Stay tuned!

How to Fill in and Shape your Eyebrows

Sup Ladies!
I wanted to address the issue of eyebrows on this blog because it seems to be a problem that so many women have. I know that I am definitely self conscious about my lack of thick, dark and beautiful eyebrows and that there are so many women who are right there with me. Whether you overplucked, suffer from the effects of chemotherapy, or were just plain born without nice eyebrows (like me), you know you have searched far and wide for the solutions. If you're anything like me, I'm sure you've considered things like hair transplants and tattooing, which may seem extreme moves to some, but unless you know what it feels like, then you have no idea the extremes you'll go to to make yourself feel better. But for those of us just willing to deal with it, I made a tutorial video that shows the best way to fill your eyebrows in with a pencil. In this video I use a spooly brush and Maybelline Define-a-Brow eyebrow pencil in light brown. I hope it helps and remember: you are beautiful the way you are! This will just help ease your self-consciousness. I've included before and after pictures and a video.

Arabic Inspired Makeup using Coastal Scents 88 Palette!

Hello! Today I did a tutorial using my Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 palette. The colors in the palette motivated me to do my own version of an Arabic or Indian inspired look. Here is my Youtube tutorial:



And here are some pictures for you:

It was a super fun look! I love the 88 palette and plan on doing many more looks with it. I hope you enjoyed and let us know what you think!
