I saw this little palette in my local Dollar Tree one day and had to pick it up for a smokey eyes tutorial. Perfect shades and colors and it's SO pigmented! I really hope you guys enjoy it! :)

Outfit/Makeup of the Day! ~ 4/11/12

Hey guys!

So I was feeling good and energetic today, so I decided to go all out for school as far as my outfit and makeup went! Let me know what you think! :)

Enjoy! ^_^

I decided to wear a nice fitting tank top with lots of shimmer on the top. I put a 3/4 sleeve, little sweater over it since it was still a bit chilly. For my makeup, I didn't have time to do elaborate eye makeup, but I stayed natural and made my face flawless, with my Korre's Lip Butter in "Athens" which is a moisturizing and pretty pink lip color. I continued to bling it up on my right ring finger with a HUGE [fake] diamond ring. Under 5 bucks at Forever 21? I'LL TAKE IT! ;)

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Makeup of the Day! ~ 4/1/12

Hey guys! So yesterday (March 31, 2012) I entered the Coastal Scents St. Patrick's Day contest. Basically, you had to create a look that was themed around St. Patrick's Day.

By the way, if you don't know what Coastal Scents is, I'll list the link below. It's an amazing website that sells makeup, skincare products, brushes, and more. I first found out about them several years ago and it's amazing how they've expanded their line since then. I am absolutely in love with their palettes, because like the one in the bottom of the picture, (88 Matte Eyeshadow Palette) it was only around $20 to $25, and you get amazing pigmentation, lots of colors, and they're all in one place.

Anyways, the picture below is the EXACT picture (or really, collage) that I entered into the contest. The results will be posted Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Wish me luck and I hope you like it!! :)

I used the greens shown (and others actually) from the 88 Matte Eyeshadow Palette from Coastal Scents for this look, as well as face makeup, eyeliner, mascara, and a lip color of course. I really like how it came out, do you? :)

Makeup of the Day! ~ 3/21/12

Hey guys! I'm here with another "Makeup of the Day" post since I haven't had much time to sit down and write a serious blog post yet. I promised I'd keep posting on a frequent basis and would also keep it light-hearted at the same time as being serious, so I'm sticking to it! :)

I decided to have some fun with a bright pink lipstick since we've been having some BEAUTIFUL Spring weather here in Connecticut! Read below the picture for more details!

Enjoy my darlings! :)

So I don't know why my face keeps looking more orange than the rest of my body, but I blame my iPhone's camera. That's what I use to make these collages. Anyways, today I focused on matching my lip color to my bright pink shirt, and sticking to neutral eyes. The pictures aren't doing the lipstick justice, but it's the Viva Glam Nicki Minaj lipstick from MAC. It's an absolutely gorgeous color for spring, so I know I'm going to be wearing this a lot! :)

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Hugs,

Makeup of the Day x2! ~ 3/15/12

Hey guys! So I figured since I've posted two super serious blog posts within the last week, I should lighten the mood like I promised and what better way to do that than with makeup? Well, for me and my fellow YouTubers, at least. ;)

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures! I recently got an awesome photo collage app for only $1 on my iPhone and it's just so fun and too perfect for displaying my makeup themes! :)

 

So this look was centered around my shirt. It was a nice reddish pink color so I figured I'd put a brown tone on my eyelid with a brick red blended out in the crease. It's a great pop of color, but not too much at the same time. (I was going to school, afterall!) I also made my cheeks rosy and lips a rosy pink as well and I was good to go!

(sorry about the earbuds, I listen to music in the morning before school to get motivated! hehe)

 

For this look, I also centered my makeup around my shirt. I'm having a lot of fun doing that lately! It provides a different look (and sometimes a different challenge) everyday! I used a light pinky-purple tone on my eyelid with a darker purple in the crease. I topped it off with nude lips and rosy cheeks and I was set! And I absolutely love this shirt! :)

So there you have it! Sorry I wasn't able to post these separately - I got the wrong photo collage app at first and was having trouble with it until I found the correct one - and I'm so glad I did! :) I'll try and do more of these from now on!

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Hugs,

Lauren

P.S. Can you tell I love long, fun necklaces? Hehe :)
