Christmas Cocktail Party: Get Ready With Me!
First of all, please take this survey as I am striving to improve the blog in the new year and would love to know what you’d like to see more of, what you think could improve, and any other feedback you might have! I gotta warn you guys, today’s post is going to be very photo-heavy. But since there are only a few days until Christmas, I thought I’d do at least one Christmas-themed outfit/makeup post. A few weekends ago, one of our friends hosted a Christmas party that was Cocktail-dress required, and I didn’t realize that until we were almost to the party. So I didn’t get to go…

Makeup For Hazel Eyes
I always used to wish that my eyes were full-on green, instead of the brown/green hazel, because so many people just say (and argue) that they’re brown. And while I like brown eyes, I always loved green eyes… so I love wearing makeup that emphasizes the green, especially. So yesterday, as I was browsing makeup looks, I came across one that reminded me I have some gorgeous plum shadow I never use, and… voila! This tutorial was born. I also wanted to do a look that leaves my freckles as exposed as possible, so I recently bought some BB cream, and it’s perfect for summer — it’s nice and sheer,…

How to: Authentic 1920’s Flapper Makeup
I have linked the exact products I used, or similar ones, throughout this blog post. If you click and purchase these, I get a commission, which helps keep up this blog! So thank you! Recently, I came across a video collaboration between a few youtubers who are doing a “makeup through the ages” project, where they all chose an era from which to do a makeup look, from the 1920’s to the 1990’s. And while I loved a few of them, there were some others that I wasn’t impressed by. So I decided… why not try myself? First up, we have the 1920’s, and this was one that really… I’m…

Makeup Tutorial: St. Patrick’s Day!
I don’t know why I don’t use colorful makeup on a more regular basis, but lately I have realized that, while I do tend to be a more natural-look kind of girl, bright eyeshadow looks are something I really enjoy wearing and creating! Plus, I’ve discovered that so long as there’s no super dark liner/black shadow, my husband likes these looks as well. I used to think he didn’t like crazy makeup. Turns out, he just doesn’t like super dark makeup.Which is fine by me. So today, since it’s St. Patrick’s day and I have no outfits to share, I thought I’d do a fun, bright green eyeshadow look! I…

Pretty in Pink: Makeup Look
Thank goodness I had time to whip this up yesterday; last night around midnight I started throwing up with the flu. Ugh. So while I’m resting and feeling better, you can try a pretty new makeup look! When I was typing the name of this tutorial into my computer files, I accidentally typed “Pretty in Oink.” But of course, this is not a Miss Piggy makeup look — although now that I think of it, that sounds kind of fun! — this is merely… a very pink makeup tutorial, for those of you who love ultra-girly looks! I wanted to coordinate the look with these gorgeous hair clips from House…
