Nail Art: Abstract Art

 

This is one of my favorite nail art sets i have done. Now you can try it too. I wont be listing the products i used. In part that is because I dont want to make anyone feel like they cant achieve this look without using the exact same polishes...Also, i painted this set a long time ago and cant quite remember the polishes i used. XD

Nail Art: Purple Leopard Print

 

This nail set features a really simple leopard print on every other nail. I had originally planned on doing the pattern on each nail but i really like how it looked with only every other nail having the pattern.

Nail Art: Ruby Slippers

This look was originally done with my mom in mind. She is a fan of the Wizard of Oz so when i see red nail polish and glitter laying around this look was inevitable. The best part about it is how easy it is to do. All you need is a base coat, top coat, red nail polish, clear nail polish and glitter. It is even easier to do if you already own a glitter polish though i think i like the look of actual glitter better.

Stila from Haute Look

So a few weeks back i posted about Stila going on sale on Haute Look. I was really excited about most of the products available but i decided to keep my purchase small as i have been spending so much money on make up recently. For $26, not including shipping, i got the Sheer Tinted Moisturizer in Light, One Step Foundation in Fair, an Eye Shadow Pan in Mimosa, and a Single Eye Shadow Compact to put it in. Overall i am really happy with my purchase. It really was a steal.

Tip of the Day

Up until recently i failed at winging out my eyeliner. That was before i discovered these easy tricks.

Using a white eyeliner or eye shadow draw a line extending from the lower lash line following the angle of your eye. If you dont feel comfortable drawing the line free hand you can use a folded tissue as a guide. Start applying your eyeliner to the lid first making your line thinner towards the inner corner of the eye and thicker towards the outer corner once you are happy with how the liner looks on the lid move on to the wing. Following your guide draw a line out from the eye. Connect the line on your lid to the line you drew and make it taper out towards the end.

Hope that was helpful :)

Deal of The Day

Laura Geller has made her Haute Look debut! Here is what Haute Look Had to say:

"When it comes to today's beauty, Laura Geller has an uncanny knack for knowing what works and what wows. She's masterminded an ingenious collection of multi-tasking color cosmetics that feature the most innovative new products, the most informative, no-nonsense how-to's and the most inviting, wonderfully wearable colors that give every woman a fresh and fabulous look.

 Unlike other beauty companies, Geller doesn't subscribe to trends. Some of her most renowned and successful products include such favorites as "Spackle", "Caulk" and the uniquely produced "Baked Color Cosmetics Collection."

I'm a fan of this brand having been able to try a few of the products thanks to Birch Box. I don't think i'll be making any purchases myself. Though i bet i'll kicking myself in the behind when i run out of Spackle and have to pay full price for it. I would recommend that if you pick up anything you get the Blush 'n' Brighten or the Spackle Tint & Glow. The Blush 'n' Brighten is a lovely rosy blush. Apply it with a light hand as it is easy to apply to much. It is also shimmery so don't waste your money if you prefer matte blushes. Don't be afraid of Spackle Tint in bronze. When i saw it in my Birch Bow i was a little angry. I thought "why on earth would Birch Box send me this? It is no where near my skin tone." I'm glad i tried it instead of just throwing it out because i love it. It is super sheer. Instead of making my face the wrong color it just gives my face a very natural looking glow.

The sale will last until Friday 8 am pacific time. Hope you find something you like. :) Happy shopping.

Halloween

My friend Sarah asked my to do her make up for Halloween. She wanted to do the Psycho Doll look by Letzmakeup. After a trial run and some crazy eyebrows that in hindsight i should have taken a picture of here is the final look we came up with.
