Soft Spring Makeup & Fashion

SPRING GREEN 092Check out my neighbor’s cat photobombing!

Hi Guys & Dolls!

Today’s tutorial is a soft & simple yet fun makeup look. Lately I’m been gravitating to lighter eyes and super bold lips. It feels fun and fresh but I still get the pop of color I crave! On Saturday I filmed myself getting ready to do out with the fam-bam for my husband’s Grandpa’s 95th birthday dinner.

YEP, I said 95!

We always go to his favorite family-style steakhouse an it’s always such a joy to spend time with the family. Afterword we watched The Life of Pi at Mikey’s sister’s place and her kids and it’s so interesting to see a movie like that with children and hear their perspective. On Sunday we went on a double date with my parents: California Pizza Kitchen and Oz the Great and Powerful in IMAX 3D, so my weekend was filled with good food, good company, and visually stunning movies. I’m truly blessed.

I’ve included the fashion video I did on Friday if you’d like to have a better look at my outfit. In both videos I’ve included subtitles of the products shown/used ^_^

Milani Color Statement Lipsticks Review & Swatches: Red & Orange

Milani Lipstick reds & oranges feb 2013 013

Hi Guys & Dolls!

Milani recently revamped, reformulated and relaunched their lipstick line and I am in love with it. Their lipstick is now called Color Statement, it comes in a shiny mirrored tube with a section at the bottom that shows the color. The finishes for this lipstick are: Vinyl, Cream, Matte, Pearl, Shimmer and Metallic. Vinyl is my favorite; it has intense color payoff with an almost gloss-like shine- how about we do? I was sent 7 to review, the Reds & Oranges. Continue reading

Edgy & Sexy Fall Makeup

Hi Guys & Dolls!

Todays tutorial has a double inspiration behind it. The first burst came while I was talking about makeup with my friend Jamie. She mentioned some Burgundy and Grey liners and instantly I thought- what a fab color combo! I immediately made note of colors to use in a makeup tutorial- I love when inspiration comes like that.
