Makeup of the Day









Today has been a very chilled and relaxed day.  I went to school and then work, the look I have on today is just quick and simple. I used a primer all over the eye and just a natural cream color on top. Then I used perfect wear liquid liner from Avon in “Evening Black” in my opinion it is one of the best ones they have. I just lined the top of my lash line and extended the liner to make a winged cat eye. Next I got a vibrant bold color which I used a bright neon turquoise blue to line my lower lash line to add a pop of color; that away the look isn’t too simple. Lastly I used the Shock mascara from Avon in “Black” it is AWESOME because it lengthens and thickens my lashes without any clumps. I hope everyone’s day is going good I am just extremely excited that I am turning “21” tomorrow! I can’t believe that time is going by so fast. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day.

Makeup Look #1

                                                                                                       Ash R. is featured in this picture

In this look I used the eyeshadow quad from Avon called “Earth Tones". This particular way that I applied the eyeshadow was to define and contour the crease and outer corners of the eyes. I first applied an eyeshadow primer (which I will post a blog about very soon), then applied the goldish color called "Citrine" to the entire eye lid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush to show the contrast of each color or as it is know as the "back ground color". After that you try to focus more on the crease color which I used the brown/merlot color called "Truffle" using a small or a detailed eyeshadow brush will help to form the winged look on the outer corner. Also using the same brush drag that same color through the hollow of your eyes to give more of a dramatic allusion. Now to add a little pop of color to this look I used the greenish color called "Safari Green". Using a flat eyeshadow brush I put the green in the inner corner of the eyes, also make sure you use the patting technique so you don't over power the look with the green. Last before applying your brow bone color use a blending brush to blend out any harsh line you may have, and also to blend together the brown and green color in the middle of the crease. Finally use the lightest color in the palette which is call "Canvas" to highlight your brow bone. Now your look is complete, and to finish the rest of your makeup use your favorite foundation, blush, and a more neutral color for your lips. I hope you all enjoyed this look and if you have anymore question please feel free to ask. :)

Makeup Tip # 1

Lip Balm:
Keeping your lips moisturized is important. In my opinion I feel that using a lip balm is a necessity in everyone’s daily routine.  Keeping your lips moisturized will lower your chances in having chapped and cracked lip and will help the burning sensation that you might feel when your lips are at the beginning of getting chapped. There are tons of lip balms that I have tried, and so far there are 3 that work the best for my lips and that I am absolutely in love with.
1.       Moisture therapy lip balm- This lip balm is very affordable and has a wonderful texture when being applied to the lips. Also you can purchase this lip balm from Avon and it is only $1.50.

2.       Aquafina Hydrating Lip balm- Their lip balms are made for hydration and contain botanicals of jojoba oil, almond oil, and vitamins. Also this lip balm is a little bit minty, which is a personal favorite. You can purchase this lip balm at a drugstore and they are about $4.99 for a pack of 3 lip balms.

3.       Dew Kiss- This lip dew is very moisturizing and is made to leave a dewy finish to your lips. You can get this lip balm also from Avon for only $.99.
I hope that this was helpful and this is just the first makeup tip that I have for you. There are plenty more tips that I have about makeup, beauty, and fashion. I will also be expressing my opinion on many of the items that I mention in my blogs. J

A little bit about my day:
Today has been a good day so far this morning I went to school and had a test. (?) I feel I did well but you never quite know until you get your grade. J I have also had a good day at work too; it has been a steady and calm day. Which every now and then it’s a good thing. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello Everyone...

So, I've decided to start a blog. I am basically going to blog about Makeup and Beauty, and also give you a few tips and tricks that I have learned or that I have been using since I can remember. As well as expressing my opinion on products that I find or have been using. Hmmm... and who knows maybe every now and then I might share a little bit about what is going on in my life. I just want everyone to feel comfortable to share any tips that you may have with me and everyone else. <3

As for today I just want to share a little bit about me. I am 20 year of age and in exactly a week I will be turning 21!!! I am so excited and a little nervous that I am getting OLDER! :) My family is my biggest inspiration I think god everyday for letting me have such a supporting family. I am hoping my blog goes well and I hope to inspire people with my ideas and knowledge. Hopefully I will also post any Fashion ideas that I may have or maybe I should make a wish list and update it every time I see something AWESOME! Yep, I'm going to like this a lot. So please follow along. :)


Best wishes
