Room Make Over

Saturday night I randomly decided it was time for a change... went out and bought some paint and redid my room!

Nails of the Day: Red and Champagne Winter Nails

I'm totally obsessing over my new nail polishes! These are two of my favorites from Essie's Winter 2012 Collection.... The champagne polish on my ring fingers is Beyond Cozy and the gorgeous shimmery red is called Leading Lady. Both are SUPER shimmery and absolutely perfect for the upcoming season.

(I know my nails are a mess but I was just really excited!)

Also on my nails are the Kiss Full Cover Artificial Nails.. this was my first time applying fake nails in probably five years and they were super easy to use. These ones come in a pack of 100 so you're bound to find ones that'll fit your fingers. It's definitely a cool way to change up your nails especially if you're having a hard time growing out your nails.

Nails of the Day: Nude and Sparkle

If you've seen my latest haul, you probably noticed I have issues, mainly my strange compulsion to change my nail polish multiple times a day. I've mastered the art of changing polishes no matter where I am.. I think it's such a fun way to change up your look and boost your mood.  Since I posted that haul, I've picked up a few new colors and this unexpected combo has become my favorite.

Subtle Smokey Eye using Naked 2 Palette!

Surprisingly I've never really been into wearing a lot of eye makeup. I usually end up spending 10 minutes trying to create a pretty look and then end up feeling self conscious about it and removing it right before I walk out the door. I can honestly say I do not have that problem anymore after purchasing my Naked 2 palette (Urban Decay.) Here's a quick video I made on one of my favorites looks to do with the palette!!

Here's some celebrity looks that can be achieved using this palette-

BIG Beautiiiful Lips!

A few weeks ago a made a tutorial showing you guys how to make my favorite DIY lip scrub... not only does that scrub prep your lips for any product you choose (gloss, lipstick, pencil, etc.) it also makes them look BIGGG!

Continuing on with the bigger is better theme when it comes to your lips.. today I put together a tutorial demonstrating how to accentuate your pretty pout and make it stand out!

Here's the steps!!

1. Using a white eye pencil (Jessie's Girl, Walmart, $1) draw a line following along your cupids bow.

2. Blend that in with a brush or your finger.

3. Apply a bright pink lipstick pencil (Sephora "Strawberry Delish" $14) focusing on the edges.

4. Apply a lighter pink color (NARS "Roman Holiday" $24) to the center of your top and bottom lips.

5. Finish off with a plumping gloss (Soap and Glory SexyMotherpucker in Peachy Pink, $10) for extra plumpness and to blend everything together!

What do you guys think? Do you like big, statement lips or do you think its too crazy?!

Recently I tried the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Patterns. I LOVED the results.
