Tangerine Cocktail: Pink and Coral Spring Eyeshadow (120 Palette 2nd Edition)

Orange and coral is not a shade most people will want to wear on their eyes, but when you pair it with a pastel amd a deeper fuchsia it just looks so tropical, fresh and fun.I haven't been giving my 120 palette much love recently, so I decided to whip it out since it has so many shade options. You don't have to have a 120 palette or the same one to do this look. You just need a:pale pink

Updated Easy Eyebrow Tutorial

I've always said that eyebrows are one of the most important features on your face. The tricky part about getting them "just right"? Everyone's are TOTALLY different.
...and that's for a good reason.
Because everyone has different face shapes, features, etc., eyebrows come in all shapes and sizes to complement each individual's facial features. They sort of pull everything together. For that reason, I always recommend that people embrace their natural brow shape. Full or thin, straight or arched. However, you can definitely "clean up" and enhance the brows you have by following a few simple tips and using some of my favorite, "must-have" brow products.

Check out my video below for all the juicy brow details...

Cotton Candy and Chocolate: Defined Pastel Makeup Tutorial (using I Nuovi Dusts)

Pastels are all over the place this season. But more of us love pastels than pastels love us, as it's not always the most flattering color-group to wear around the eyes for those with high-color (dark hair, darker skins, etc) and flatter eye contours.For this eye look, I'm using pastels that are so pale they are almost icy, and the application is actually very straightforward, as it hinges

Ultra-Violet: Smoky Iridescent-Purple Shadow Tutorial

I've been into a lot of strong shadows and textures on the eyes lately for some reason, so after doing red glitter, the next thing that caught my fancy was iridescent violet of course. This is actually a really simple look using only 2 shadows, and 2 pencils. The shape and texture (pearl-matte) are the key things for bringing out the depth in the shades, as I wanted to do a look that was

Long Time, No LUSH....

What is it with me and LUSH? I LOVE LUSH. But I don't shop there often.

Maybe it has something to do with my giant pretty apothecary jar stashed with bath bombs waiting to be used...
Which I shamefully change out with seasonal LUSH things depending on the time of year.

Or maybe it has to do with my even more shameful storage drawer container designated just for my LUSH stash. I keep it in my closet because it makes it smell so nice. Bonus.
Yeah. I'm thinking it has more to do with the latter.

When we bought our home, I have to admit, the giant garden tub was a huge selling point for me. Why? Because from the time I saw it, I imagined myself taking LUSH baths EVERY SINGLE DAY. Did that happen? No. I'm more of a shower gal...
Is it too late to make a new resolution for 2012? Use up my LUSH stuff and take more baths. Shouldn't be too hard to stick to.

So now that I've shared all my dirty LUSH secrets, this post seems even more ridiculous.

My question to you... HOW do you all stash your unused LUSH things? Are you like me and end up mysteriously acquiring shameful amounts of the stuff? Are you even more like me and keep buying it anyway?

Ok, so just watch my LUSH Haul video below to see the new unnecessary things I purchased...

Scarlet Slippers: Red Glitter Winged-Eye Tutorial

Red glitter on lids.


Red on the eyes is always incredibly dramatic, but when you use a red glitter, it becomes surprisingly pretty as well. I am applying two matte shadows from the Lime Crime Chinadoll palette but you can use any reddish and black shadow you have.
For the glitter, the finer cosmetic grade ones are better for the eye area, but if that's not accessible for you and you want to

Pale/Baby Pink Lipsticks

MAC Saint Germain lipstick

Anonymous:
What are some good pale pink lipsticks?


More people love pale-pink than dare to wear it as a full-on lipstick. Sure it's a bit of a Snooki-esque disaster if you wear it wrong but the right shade can be sweet on the pale, oh-so-cute on the medium-toned, super-sexy on the tanned, and edgy on the darker-skinned.

Milani Haute Flash Full Coverage Shimmer Lipglosses (lip swatches and quick review)

I might be a little late to the Haute Flash game, but I found out not too long ago that Milani has come up with a line of full coverage Shimmery Glosses which remind me suspiciously of MAC and Lime Crime ones. Of course, I was curious if a drugstore brand could really match up to the higih-end ones, so here's the run-down.
There are 5 shades I believe, but I only got 4;

Makeup for Girls with Glasses: Strong Pastels

Most times, girls with glasses think they should just skip eye makeup. Well actually, if you like, you can get away with a heck of a lot more eye makeup in the daytime than girls without glasses.
I'm doing a demo with the "worst" type of glasses. Big, black, plastic frames that mask a lot of your face. And just for fun, I'm doing a typically doll-like makeup with pastel pinks, blues and teals.

Early Peek: MAC "Force of Love" from the Chenman Love and Water Collection (Swatches and Review)

There is one must-have from the MAC Chenman Love and Water collection.
The limited edition Force of Love Matte Lipstick.

This is an unapologetic shade of fluorescent coral-pink that I think would likely look good on most skin tones although slightly different depending on your undertones. It's actually quite similar to MAC Viva Glam Nicki, which is

Rich Green Smoke: Evening Eye using Coastal Scents Kiwi Green

I'm on my Coastal Scents kick, and wanted to do a strong green look, which I haven't done in awhile.
