This past weekend my family and I went to Marshall’s to pick up some beauty blenders for my makeup kit. I always like to browse the makeup section while I’m there to see if I find any gems.
This was my lucky day! I scored some #MORPHExJaclynHill palettes for $7.99!!! I was super stoked! I also got a few MAC lipsticks for $7.99 each.
The first Morphe palette I used was Ring the Alarm. It’s a beautiful rich red and brown, warm toned palette. Right up my alley!
I died when I saw this! It even comes with a mirror inside which is a huge plus!
Here’s a pic of the makeup look I created with it and a list of all the products at I used is below.
Who’s ready for Fall?? I have to admit I’m enjoying the last bits of Summer, but my heart is warming up for the change in scenery.
Not to mention the makeup and clothes! Fall is my favorite time of year for makeup and fashion. Here’s a new look to inspire you and to get you ready for the season.
I’m back with a Romantic Pink Makeup look using all Bellame Makeup Products. If you haven’t tried these products you are missing out! They’re infused with clinical-grade skin care and anti-aging ingredients. Since using them I have seen a significant difference in my skin!
Here is the step-by-step video on this look and check the bottom of this post for all the products used.
I just wanted to share my makeup of the day. I really love the pigmentation of Sugarpill Cosmetics eyeshadows. They will stay put all day, but I find its best to use a primer or base such as the NYX jumbo pencil in milk to make the colors pop.
Hope you enjoy the look! Till the next one Laugh often & Love always!
I had the honor of working on my first Indian Bride this past weekend. I was so fascinated with all the gorgeous dresses, the jewelry and the colors! Everything was so bright and vivid and the ceremony was absolutely beautiful!

Here’s a quick step-by-step makeup tutorial on this look:
1.) Prime the eye with Mary Kay primer | Pat on NYX jumbo pencil in ‘Milk’ to the lid | Add MAC ‘White Frost’ to the brow bone | Brush on MAC ‘Swish’ to the upper crease

Here’s a simple look using the Urban Decay Naked Palette 2. I seriously use this palette on a daily basis! It’s great for any special occasion and especially for weddings & school dances or events.
I used the color ‘Foxy’ to highlight my brow bone. Then the color ‘Tease’ in the crease. Apply ‘Verve’ with a damp (or wet) brush to the lid and finally ‘Blackout’ on the outer V.
Hope you like it!! Till the next one Laugh often & Love always!

I had one of my friends request a brow tutorial, so I thought I’d share it with you all as well. Follow these steps below to achieve this type of brow. I know everyone does it differently, but this is how I do mine. 🙂
1. Prime the eyebrow with an eye primer (optional)
2. Using an angled brush draw the bottom line of your brow with a brown eyeshadow
3. Draw a second line from the top of the arch down to where you’d like your brow to end
4. Connect the lines and fill in the tail of your brow
5. Draw a line on top of your brow connecting to the arch
6. Fill in the center and blend the color evenly
7. With the left over product on the brush start to fill in the front of the brow very lightly and blend the harsh lines out
8. Take a light concealer and with a flat synthetic brush draw a line directly under the brow to make it sharp and clean
9. With the same brush blend the concealer down so there is no harsh line
10. Do the same process to the top of the brow except use a concealer color that’s close to your skin tone
-voila- shaply brows!
Next up is the makeup I did with these brows. I went with a more dramatic look.
Follow these steps to create this look
1. Apply MAC ‘Whitefrost’ on brow bone
2. Blend a taupe brown just above the crease
3. Using a synthetic brush apply NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk to the lid
4. Pat on MAC ‘Electric Eel’ to the lid
5. On top of electric eel add a shimmery blue. I used Mary Kay Azure
6. Add MAC Carbon to outer V and blend into crease
7. Highlight inner corner with MAC ‘Phloof!’
8. Line upper lash line with gel liner
9. Tightline & waterline using NYX jumbo pencil in ‘Black bean’.
10. Using MAC ‘Electric Eel’ & ‘Carbon’ blend colors on lower lash line.
11. Apply fake lashes and/or mascara
