NYX Matte Lipstick & Soft Matte Lip Cream Review/Lip Swatches!

Hi Lovelies! I wanted to give you some swatches and reviews on the NYX Matte Lipsticks and the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. I found that the soft matte lip creams could be compared to the Too Faced Melted Lipsticks and I believe that they stood their ground! I think these are all beautiful and so pigmented. The shade Monte Carlo is my absolute favorite! See you guys soon :)

LORAC Unzipped Gold Palette Review & Tutorial!

Hi Lovelies! If you saw my last Ulta haul video then you saw how excited I was about the new Lorac Unzipped Gold Palette! If you didn't see it, you can see it HERE. I adore the original unzipped palette, so when I saw that they had a new gold version I was jumping off of the walls! I love anything gold when it comes to makeup....and life. I thought I'd show you guys some swatches and also a little tutorial using the palette. Overall, I give this palette a 9/10. The only reason that it doesn't get a perfect score is because the matte shades are not super pigmented, although they are buildable. I hope you guys enjoy and I'll see you guys soon!

How To: Contour & Highlight for Beginners | Kim Kardashian

Hi Lovelies and welcome back! When I think of a perfect sculpted contour and highlight my mind gravitates towards one celebrity and that is none other than Kim Kardashian. Kim is the epitome of a perfect contour and is a contour icon within the beauty community. When I first started learning how to contour and highlight, I was a lost soul. I could not do it to save my life. If there was a contour Olympics, I definitely would not have placed. I would always end up looking like I just got beat up and someone smeared mud all over my face...literally. It took countless YouTube videos and tutorials to finally learn the art of the contour, and I am by no means a master. As with any kind of makeup, you have good days and bad days. When I started watching videos done by beauty gurus I realized that not many had a tutorial for beginners that was step by step. I mean, not everyone who wants to learn how to contour is going to know what the point of contouring actually is and I believe that knowing the why of something, will make you much more successful in achieving the perfect results. So I figured I would take my skills and make a little video showing you how I get a sculpted face, and also why I am doing those things. Let me know what you think and what your tips and tricks are for achieving that perfect contour! I hope you guys enjoy and I will talk to you soon!

All Drugstore Products Makeup Tutorial - Beauty On A Budget

Hi Lovelies! Welcome back! Let me just start off my saying that I love me some Sephora....all the time. But sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and nobody's got time for $50 dollar foundation! That's why I love the drugstore. Not only can you find AMAZING products for cheap, but they're actually of quality and majority of the time the products are buy one, get one. I thought I would throw together a simple tutorial doing a look for you that uses solely drugstore products. I wanted to use my beauty blender, really bad. Although, I think when you're in a rush you don't have time to go through all of that so sometimes, your hands are you best tools. I hope you guys enjoy and I'll see you soon!

The Perfect Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial!

Hi lovelies! Welcome back! I know that when I first started using makeup I remember watching girls on youtube create these amazing smokey eyes and I could never figure out how! With a lot of practice  and countless hours of determination I think I have finally mastered my perfect smokey eye. The key I have learned is to blend, blend, blend, and when you think you're done, blend again. Having a good blending brush is key. Also having good eyeshadows to blend out is important. I personally have just found my new favorite eyeshadows and they are Morphe and Makeup Geek. Both are super pigmented, super blendable, and super smooth. Morphe at ($2) and Makeup Geek at ($6) a piece are super affordable, and you get such bang for your buck. You can buy them individually and stick them in a Z Palette. I hope you enjoy and I'll talk to you guys soon!

Soft and Romantic Valentines Day Tutorial!

Hi Lovelies! I was walking through Target yesterday guilty pleasure and I came across the Valentines Day isle...after 30 2 minutes of perusing around and then making my way over to the makeup section as I so often do I found myself inspired to do two different kinds of makeup tutorials for you guys! The first one is a more soft romantic makeup look that is neutral with a pop of shimmer. Also, I incorporated a nude lip and a cherry red lip if you wanted to bump it up a notch. Keep an eye out in the next few days for the second look which will be a sultry, more sexy tutorial. I hope you guys enjoy! Please let me know what you would like to see next and any tips and tricks you may have for Valentines Day!
