What's to come?

     Here are just a few videos I have filmed and pretty much ready to go. (in no particular order)

I have been falling behind on my OOTDs, usually I have about 2-3 saved up and ready to go, but this is all I have, and no OOTDs! lol. But this weekend is supposed to be warmer so I hope to get some outdoor filming done. :)

A pretty simple, shimmery warm eye with deep cheeks, and my recent obsession: an ombre lip. :)

I am still waiting for a nice sunny day to get some shots of what these lenses look like in natural daylight, then it will be complete and ready to upload. 

This one is using the new Flower Beauty creme eyeshadow as a base and my current favorite purple shadow; one from the Coastal Scents Moscow Go Palette. (If you haven't checked out Coastal Scents, they are excellently priced and all I've ever purchased has been wonderful)

Just an easy, wearable (imo) St. Patrick's Day look I figured would be a nice balance between a typical neutral eye and a crazy all-out holiday look.  Using the Coastal Scents 252 Ultimate Palette once again; I love that palette.

      This was filmed in my backyard.  Most of my videos are either filmed there or at Justin's house.  Justin is my boyfriend of 3+ years in case anyone was wondering.  He always helps me film and occasionally does a piece of editing for me (like anytime there is a shot where there is more than one of me, he did that).
      I am really feeling like I am ready for Spring to come even though I will miss the Winter of course, I just love the snow, it's so beautiful; I could do without all these cold, windy days though.  So this outfit is me trying to transition from Winter into Spring.  The pop of color with the red tights, earrings, and lipstick all remind me that even though all the trees are barren and snow is still all over the ground, the Spring is coming and color will be back in nature soon enough.  The boots (which I wear way too much, I'll admit) along with the shorts shows the transition from Winter into Spring as well.  If I had some knee high white socks, I totally would have worn those just to tie in the white of my earrings and tank top with the bottom half of my outfit, but I didn't have any and my sister didn't have any I could borrow either.  I wasn't about to go out and buy some just for the OOTD, sorry, but I think it really would have added a little extra something to the outfit.

Emerald & Gold Eyeshadow Tutorial

Watch the video here!

   I was just messing around and checking out my Coastal Scents 252 Palette.  Sometimes I will just stare at it and see what colors pop out at me.  This isn't a super colorful crazy look or anything, but it could work for upcoming St. Patrick's Day if you like to do the whole holiday inspired makeup deals, which I love to do.  I hope you like because I just love doing something colorful with my eye makeup as much as possible.  Let me know what color combinations or looks you would like to see recreated.  Looking at these flash photos makes me wish I had added some liner! Grr... Anyway, I hope you enjoy this post, pictures, and don't forget to check out the youtube video!

My Favorite Spring/Summer Lip Products

Hey everyone! These are just some of my favorite lip products for the Spring and Summer, but honestly, I wear different colored lipsticks all year round.  Don't forget to check out the youtube video here with live swatches and more information.

Right to Left: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in Darling, Lovesick, Precious, Charm, & Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch

Right to Left: Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipsticks in Enchantress, Hot Passion, Covergirl Outlast Lip Color in Ever Red-dy, Loreal Infallible Lip Color in Beyonce's Red, NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Dolly Girl, & Revlon Lip Butter in Cupcake

Love love love these. My favorite lipsticks at the moment.  They don't dry out my lips like crazy and they also leave a stain behind which is just awesome!

Note: The Covergirl one tends to need an extra coat compared to the Loreal one, but to me it isn't a big deal because in the end they both perform pretty much the same and stay on all day.

In the video, it looked like the NYX Xtreme Lip Cream was coming off with a little bit of sheerness, but it must have just been laying funny and the product shifted in the tube because it is usually just as pigmented and strong as the Loreal Infallible was.  Also, my Revlon Lip Butter is really running out. Lol. This pic is all the product I have left. 

The Baby Lips are not as moisturizing as a typical lip balm, but the color in this particular one is a great one to just throw on and carry in your purse.  Burt's Bees is my favorite lip balm and has been for quite some time.  I love the minty feel of it and it's just the best. 

I love these too! They have a minty feeling similar to Burt's Bees, they leave a really good stain (the two bright ones at least), and are really moisturizing, not drying at all.
