Make Me Up: Holiday Pop-Up Makeup Show New York

A couple weeks ago I went to the Holiday Pop-Up Makeup Show in New York and it was so fun! I was able to pick up some goodies and will be filming a haul on that shortly. The makeup I wore that day was very glam. Here are some pictures of the makeup and the show! Enjoy : )

Make Me Up: Thanksgiving Glittah!

I tried on glitter for my Thanksgiving Day makeup and loved the glam results! I put on the glitter with lash glue and it was sooo easy to apply, compared to other times I had tried to apply glitter. Anyway, hope you had a great day, regardless if you celebrated Thanksgiving or not! Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Gold Eyes and Stained Orange Lips

These pictures go along with one of my makeup of the day videos, but I never got around to putting them up. I love this look for it's simplicity and classyness. It's not over the top, but still has strong colors. Hope you enjoy!

How To: ☆Crackle Nails☆ White and Gold

This was my first time using crackle nail polish and I loved how it came out! I was expecting it to be a bit harder, from watching others reviews, but I had no problem at all with the polish cracking. The China Glaze Crackle polishes were limited edition, but lately I have seen a lot more inexpensive brands come out with crackle nail polishes, so I definitely be trying out more. Hope you enjoy! : )

Make Me Up: Holiday Sparkle

I just finished filming a tutorial for this look and thought I'd put up the pictures on here in advance. I wore this look out last week for a special night out and I really loved it! I changed a few things for the video, but most of it was the same as the original. This is a great look for the holidays or any parties coming up! If the red is too bold for you, try nude lips, it looks beautiful too! Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Silvers & Purples

So I recently moved my makeup area because it was near the heater and since it's going to start getting cold soon, they're going to start giving heat. I wanted to test out my new area, to see how I like it and how comfortable it is to apply my makeup. This is what I came up with after playing around with some makeup. It's one of my favorite kind of eye looks to do, nearly nude lids with super dark creases. I also have been trying to branch out with my makeup, tweaking a few things from the norm, like combining colors on my eyes with colors on my lips. Hope you like it!

Make Me Up: Fall Jewel Tones

I filmed a tutorial on this look yesterday, using a new LA Colors Quad that I recently got in the mail. I LOVED how this turned out! I don't think I would have ever thought up this color combination on my own, so I'm glad the quad incorporated all these beautiful colors together. Enjoy!

I got the InStyler!! (QVC Edition)

I'm soo excited over my new pink InStyler!! I don't know why, but I get really excited over hair related things, I would say more excited than I get over makeup. Not that I prefer hair over makeup, but I think it's because hair is such an untouched territory when it comes to me, especially when compared to makeup. So here are some pics of my hair (with my new short bob!) after I've used the InStyler. It's still very new to me, but I really loved the results I got on my first use. It also worked beautifully on my mom. Enjoy! : )

My Everyday Face Routine

This morning I recorded a video of me doing my makeup as I usually do every morning. It's pretty basic for me, mostly just focusing on enhancing my favorite features, which are my brows eyes and cheeks. I've done this routine so much these past months, that I can do it all in about 10 minutes or less lol. Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Golden Summer Nights

These are pictures of my most recent tutorial. I think I'm going to start posting pictures on here, of the tutorials I make, to give a better look at the makeup. Anyway, this look was requested by the lovely TheSammar18, who asked for it wayyy long ago. Thanks for being patient! She wanted a gold bronzey shimmery look, and that's what I tried to create for her : ) Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Catwalk Ready with Shimmers

This look came to be, from playing around with my NYX 10 Eyeshadow Palette from the Runway Collection in "Catwalk." I originally bought this palette because I wanted something that inlcuded shimmery warm colors, very similar to what Victoria Secret models wear on the catwalk! I eneded up using a great mixture of colors on my eyes, incorporating about 8 of the 10 eyeshadows, and I was very pleased with the outcome! It's a super shimmery warm brown eye, that's subtle enough for the daytime, yet has enough color for a night look, and to top it off, falsies that add a flare to either occasion. Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Sultry Charcoals

Here is a quick look I threw on for a video; It's a really easy and quick charcoal-based smokey eye. This is something super quick I'll do, when I want dark eyes, but don't have a lot of time; It involves a dark lid (any color of your choice) and a brown matte color in the crease. I originally did purpley lips, but I just could not stray away from my staple nude haha. All in all, this look is not time consuming, but still delivers with sultry darkness on the eyes. Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Taste the Rainbow

Like usual, I play around with my makeup at night, and on this particular night, I decided to recreate a makeup look I saw a model wearing in a magazine. I don't know about you, but I always rip out magazine pages when I see pretty makeup (not necessarily to recreate it, mostly to just look at it lol), and this time I decided to recreate it!

I consider this super dramatic because it has colored shadow all the way up to the brow bone. But I ended up loving this oh so much! And I would totally wear this out and rock it! I named it taste the rainbow, because it reminds me of skittles hehe. Hope you enjoy! : )

Make Me Up: Elegant in Mattes for 2011

After my first failed attempt at coming up with a look for New Year's Eve 2010, I tried once again. Let me say that I was very much pleased with this outcome, so much that I actually chose it as the winning look! It consists of a mostly matte eye (which I LOVE because of the flawless effect and airbrush finish it gives off!) and some shimmer in the inner eye to make me glowy and bright. 

The look itself is very simple, mostly just white, black and brown matte shadows. I'm also including pictures of the eye look with different tweaks on the face (I did this because I was still experimenting, to find the perfect look), but I ended up actually wearing the original look on New Year's Eve. I even threw in a picture of that night! Hope you enjoy! : )

Make Me Up: Party Like It's 2011

This is the result of me playing around with makeup, on a night of the departed 2010. I was thinking of what look I wanted to sport on New Year's Eve, and I immediately thought GLITTER... I should've thought NO! Things did not come out as planned because once I applied my silver glitter onto my sticky base, it basically gunked up. It turned into a thick (and i mean THICK) layer of sticky, chunky glitter on my eyelid. 

Nonetheless, I like the idea I was originally going for; Maybe I'll give it another try sometime. I still wanted to post this, despite the negative results, just to share it with you guys! Hope you enjoy (if you don't, I understand haha)!

Make Me Up: Romantic Plums

This is an old look I did during my makeup hiatus lol. The few times I would do eyeshadow, it would be something very simple like this. I LOVE my bright, over the top, super dramatic makeup, but sometimes it's nice to take a step back and just appreciate the beauty of a soft romantic look. Plus, it's very minimalistic, hence quick and easy! Hope you enjoy! : )

Make me Up: Exotic Rainforest

Bright looks like this are my fave! This is a pretty straight up look, with lime green on the lid and turquoise in the crease. Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Bedtime Blues

I played around with my makeup the other night, as I tend to do many times before going to sleep. I apologize for looking so sleepy in these pictures, but by the time I took them I was reallyy tired lol. While thinking about what look to do, it came to my mind, the idea of doing more practical looks, ones that don't require 5 different eyeshadows from 3 different palettes; The magic behind it, is that it is a very accessible look that can be created on the spot, no matter where you are.

I simply used one L'Oreal HIP duo for my eyes, to create a blue and brown smoked out eye, and I must say, I loved the results! Simple, yet striking! Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Shimmering from Day to Day

Very easy, quick everyday look with lots of shimmer! Glowy eyes are very refreshing and youthful, and I was able to easily acheive the look with a single Wet n' Wild palette. Hope you enjoy!

Swatch Me: Recent Haulage

Hey guys! This is a blog post I promise I'd put up, in my most recent haul video, where I swatch everything shown (with exception of the MAC lipstick because I can't find it, but I promise I'll add it when I find it : D ). Hope you enjoy!
