Cinderella-esque Eye Makeup Tutorial

Who doesn't want to be a princess? Especially a Disney Princess! I went a little crazy when the first Disney Sephora collection came out. Just a little crazy - I mean - Disney and makeup...together? How could I not?!? The first few times I used the quad palette, I didn't like it at all. I was putting way too much of the light gray on and it just isn't a color that looks good on my skin. I finally found a way to use the quad for a pretty pretty princess look. =) So here it is - a tutorial using the Disney Cinderella quad palette from Sephora.

Step 1: Apply the nude shade to three quarters of your lid leaving the outer quarter bare.
Step 2: Apply a light wash of the light gray color into the crease.
Step 3: Use the dark gray color to make an angle on your outer crease and into the lid.
Step 4: Apply the light gray softly on your lower lash line on the outer third to half.
Step 5: Apply the dark gray on the outer fourth of the lower lash line.
Step 6: Use the white color as a highlight on your inner corner.
Step 7: Lastly, curl your lashes, apply mascara, and you're done!

What do you guys think? Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. I'm toying with the idea of changing up the formatting of the tutorials too, so let me know what you think of that as well. Hope everyone has a great rest of the day!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Tutorial

Pigs are flying! I finally used my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette! Alright, so I only used two shades, but that's way better than I've done over the past 4 months. (Has it really been that long?) This look is super simple and really pretty for the spring. It's just a fresh, bright rosy look. Hope you enjoy! Step 1: Start with a base or primer. I uesd a Sigma Eyeshadow Base in Provoke which is just a nude base color. Then apply Burnout over all but the very outer corner of your upper lid. Step 2: Apply Buzz in the outer corner. Step 3: Line your top lash line with a dark brown to create a softer look. I used Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel. Step 4: Line your waterline and inner corner in white. I used Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eye Liner Pencil in 07 Pure White. Step 5: Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I used a combination of L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black and L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black. Face: It Cosmetics ...

L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara

Let's talk mascara. I am in love with the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara. I also love the Voluminous Carbon Black mascara, but it's a little difficult to work with, which prompted me to pick up the Telescopic mascara in the Carbon Black line. The Carbon Black line is exactly what it sounds like - meant to be a super black mascara, more than usual. The telescopic does not disappoint in this. I think it's even blacker than the Voluminous. To compare these two, the Voluminous is a volumizing more dry formula with a dense bristle wand, while the Telescopic is a lengthening, wet formula with a plastic applicator. (They do have a Telescopic mascara that isn't Carbon Black if you find the Carbon Black mascaras too black, like if you have lighter eye lashes.) Hopefully you can see from the above photo that this wand is a little different. It's a plastic applicator that has four sides. On each of the corners, it has the little spikes that a normal wand ...

Dare To Be You

Oh my gosh. I still can't get over this article. Go read it here . You can come back. I'll wait. You're back. Okay. Good. Because I want to tell you exactly how true this is. I spent 27 years of my life trying to be someone else, trying to be someone who I was not created to be. I looked to everything and everyone and wanted what they had, what they were doing, their entire life. And I chased money, fame (yes, I'm admitting it), and everything in this world you can think of. (Except illegal things. I have my parents/upbringing and God to thank for that.) You name it, I wanted it. And I wanted to BE everything. I literally have a document sitting on my external hard drive entitled, "Who I Want To Be" and let me tell you, it includes about 20 different "jobs" if you will. And each of them can be pin-pointed back to a single person or shall I say..."inspiration." I wanted to have a blog (hey, look-y here!); I wanted to have a YouTube chan...
