Gun Metal Grey Eyes

I just recently tried out NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils. I must say I was impressed! They glide on nicely and they blend very well with a detail eyeshadow brush. I used two of them in Black Bean and JEP along with my coastal scents 88 color pallette to create my Gun Metal Grey Eyes tutorial. It is a great modern cat eye look that is easy to do. I got inspiration to do this look from a lot of the looks I saw on the runways during New York Fashion Week, well what I saw from the pictures anyway ;) NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencils are a cool four bucks a piece which also make this look a keeper!! I encourage you to give it a shot for yourself! Good Luck! xoxo,

Do you like saving $$$ like me?

Three words. Retail me not. Well actually http://retailmenot.com/. This useful little tool has come in handy so many times for me, and I am just now writing about it because it's fresh on my mind after using it last night to get 50% off my E.L.F order. So basically what it is, is a mecca of coupon codes for online retailers. Some of them work, some don't but you gotta give it a try. It's so easy and free. All you do is go to the site, punch in the name of the store you are ooking for and POOF! Up pops a list of coupon codes to choose from! They also give you the percentage of reliability so if something worked 50% of the time or more-give it a shot. Also, don't forget to share the love! If you know about a sale put it into the system so others can enjoy!! Hope this little blog was helpful!!! Good Luck! xoxo,

Hidden Gem, Molten Metal?

It isn't hard to find great makeup if you know where to look! Well, in this case I've done the looking and the finding for you. This hidden gem is better known as My Beauty Addiction http://mybeautyaddiction.com/ I was very pleased when I tried out the mineral eyeshadows for the first time. I could not believe how much color was in the shadows! They are more like a pigment they are so rich in color. I am actually in love with the Molten Metals line! It's like you're pouring melted gold on your eyelids! I can't wait to show you more looks with the other colors I have. Viva Las Vegas is a pink that I am dying to try out, also Aquadise looks GREAT! Another great thing I tried was their gel eyeliner. It is very comparable to the gel liner by Studio Gear that I use. What I did was wear grey eyeshadow with MBA's pink gel eyeliner and it was AWESOME! The liner stayed on all day! (and I even wore it out for a day of shopping and walking around outside in the sun) haha...The eyeshadows are offered at the great price of $5.00 for a 5g jar, Molten Metals are $5.00 for a 3g jar and the gel liner is $8.25! Awsome makeup for awesome prices!

Mineral makeup is pretty cool because you can go from a very natural look, to over the top, colorful looks. http://mybeautyaddiction.com/ offers a huge selection of colors of shadows and other products as well. Make sure you check out their website for more information and to take a look at their product assortment. Make sure you add them on Facebook and Twitter too for updates and sales info! http://www.facebook.com/mybeautyaddiction http://twitter.com/mbacosmetics.

Kim Kardashian Inspired Hair Tutorial

Hey again! This time I wanted to give you a more edgy look. I saw this look on the lovely Kim Kardashian and I loved it! I also saw it in a Forever21 ad on some models. It is a great look for spring to wear with a nice spring style dress. Take a look at my post of spring clothes collage that I did yesterday. This hairstyle would be great with any of the dresses that are on there. You get the idea! This hairstyle isn't for you if you have very short hair and are just starting out with pin up hairstyles. If you have medium to long hair it's a little bit easier to do, but I don't want to discourage you from trying. You'll never know if you can do it or not if you don't try right?! I hope you like it! Send me some pictures of your finished do's!!! Good luck and have fun!!
