Black Lips & Neutral Eyes ♥

Leave a comment

Black lipstick has been the new trend lately, besides the Kylie Jenner Nude Lip. I’ve been wanting to try this trend for a while but was a little hesitant since black lips is so difficult to make wearable. I’m pretty sure the last time I wore a Black lip was when I was about 10 years old for Halloween (I was a witch btw).

Anyway, I’m super happy with how it came out! I made sure to bronze my skin and contour perfectly so that my face didn’t look too flat. I wanted to keep the eyes neutral but still a little smokey to give it a nice exotic effect.

I hope you guys enjoy this look as much as I did filming this. I am seriously obsessed with how it came out so I really hope you guys love it just as much!

No Makeup, Makeup ♥

1 Comment

Anyone who knows me, know I love a full face of makeup. Although this is true, there are times that I get lazy or I’m in a rush or just simply want to give my skin a little break from makeup. In this instance, I usually go to my no makeup, makeup look!

It’s such a perfect, simple, and clean look that you can do for school or work if you wanted to. For those of you who don’t wear much makeup or are just beginning, this is actually perfect for you! Keep in mind something like this is supposed to look natural, so although it may look full coverage on camera, it isn’t.

I tried to use products that have helpful qualities like the Argan Oil from the Josie Maran Tinted Moisturizer and the Maracuja Oil from the Tarte Concealer, that way your skin is breathing and taking in good oils at the same time!

To see how I applied these products, watch the video below! I hope you enjoy it and if you do please don’t forget to subscribe,  like, comment, and of course share with your friends and family.

Ps. I love chatting with you guys so please feel free to leave me comments! I always answer back 🙂

Night Out Makeup | Feat. Amrezy Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills ♥

1 Comment

If any of you are as addicted to makeup the way I am, I’m sure you also follow a thousand and one makeup “guru’s” and makeup artists on Instagram. Many of these girls are lucky enough to establish an amazing following which eventually leads to brands taking notice of them. Amrezy is one of these girls. I have been following her for a while now and I just love all of her amazing makeup looks! She’s definitely the QUEEN of highlighting in my opinion, for sure. She recently collaborated with Anastasia Beverly Hills (The QUEEN of eyebrows herself) to create an eyeshadow palette.

I personally love to support my fellow Youtubers, Bloggers, and Instagramers as much as I can, especially when I truly believe in their talent. With that said, I went out and bought this palette the week it came out (Totally would’ve bought it the day it came out, but of course it was sold out everywhere!) I’ve been in love ever since.

I plan on doing a review on it soon, so definitely stay tuned but I couldn’t help but play with it as soon as I got it so I decided to film a video doing just that 🙂

I hope you enjoy this look that I created, like I said, it was the first time I actually used the palette so I wasn’t even sure what I was going to do in the beginning haha. If you do enjoy the video, please share it with your friends & family (hey, you can even tag @amrezy herself!), comment, like, and of course subscribe!

Get Ready With Me | Summer Nights – Feat. Lorac Pro 2 ♥

Leave a comment

I seriously feel like Summer has just begun, but unfortunately we have just entered August, which means it’s almost over! I am totally not prepared for the warm summer nights to leave me just yet. My favorite part of the summer is hanging out with friends and just enjoying the weather.

I bought the Lorac Pro 2 Palette a few weeks ago and finally had the opportunity to experiment with it. So far so good! I still want to keep playing with it before I do an actual review on it,  so stay tuned for that. I decided to film this look that I did using the palette the other day. I did not know where I was going with it so I’m glad that it came out good! I hope you guys enjoy the video and if you have any questions leave them in the comments below!
