Lookie Lookieeee

Heyyyyy...

So this weekend was fantastic. Got to visit my brother up in Buffalo, NY. He's a tattoo artist there! I went with my mama, and my two step sisters.

The whole weekend we ate....greek food, italian, all kinds of goodies. Nevertheless, I'll be hittin' the gym tomorrow morning.

Here is a look I did for dinner on Saturday night...

When I do looks like these, I usually use my Manly cosmetics 120 palette...or my CS 88 shimmer palette- both are great and well worth the monayyyy.

Alittle tip for all you blue-eyed gals...Brown eyeliner is your best friend!

No matter the look I'm doing- I always use brown liner on my waterline, its hardly noticeable, but it just gives my baby blues the perfect pop of color. Girlie's with brown eyes can get a way with tons of black liner, and if you are lucky enough to have gorgeous hazel eyes, plummy purple liners work great to enhance your eyecolor.

My younger step sister has blue eyes and I'm having the hardest time convincing her to stop using all her black eyeliner! I even do looks on her with the brown and she admits it looks great, but still doesn't do it herself. So frustrating! Que Sera...she'll do what she wants I guess...

Well it's time for bed...yawwwnnnn...

Sleep tight beautiesss..

Problemmmsss

Okay, so THIS STINKS...

I uploaded my first and awesome video for doing winged eyeliner and it doesn't work. Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this properly? Bah I need help!

Everybody's talkin' bout that winged eyeliner...

hello all!
Hope everyone's having a great week so far! If not, it's almost over baby!

So, I've now delved into the world of web tutorials- I'm seriously nervous about this. I've never done it before! But the topic is winged eyeliner! I've heard so many people saying their lookin' for the perfect way to achieve this sexy look, and hopefully I can help. I got the idea from Enkoremakeup on youtube. He's fantastic.

Enjoy the video- leave me some feedback! I'd love to hear from you.

I've been spending a lot of money lately, and- it needs to stop, seriously. So, I'm not gonna be buying a lot of makeup for awhile- i'll use up what I have. I need to save for 2 months in order to buy out my car at the end of October. I hope I can do it! .
