Whats In My Makeup Bag?!?
- Maybelline Fit Me! concealer in 20 - Sand. I really like this cause it is really light and easy to use plus i can bring it every where!
- The Body Shop's Lightning Touch in 01 - light. I like this because it perfect for adding depth to a dull face (some days are just like that).
- Urban Decay's After Glow, Glide on Cheek Tint in Quickie. I love all my makeup but this is the one thing I won't leave the house with out! This is the coolest stuff ever! So naturally glowy!
- Revlon eye lash curlers. Who doesn't need a pick me up?
- Elf liquid liner in deep brown (Christmas collection). love the color and sooo inexpensive! Brush applicator makes cat eyes soooo thin and natural.
- New York Color's lengthening mascara - High rise in extream black. mega length, mega natural.
- Rimmle London's moister renew lip stick in 300-Rose Blush (winter)/240-Latino (summer). I always have candy colored lips! ;)
- New York Color's Extreme lip glider Lip Gloss in 526U - Chinatown Cherry. perfection on top of any candy colored lip.
- Bath & Body Works' Sweet Pea Body Mist/Lotion. one word; yum
- Victoria's Secret's Incredible Scented Mist. Deliciously sexy and sweet.

Valentine's Day - Purrr-fect Makeup

Purrrr-fect V-day Makeup
To me Valentine's Day is a sweet holiday, with a sexy twist. And in the picture above you can see that Dianna (left) is an example of that (lea is a little too sexy if you ask me), sweet but alluring. If you look at Dianna's outfit, hair and makeup it all has a rather retro feel to it so this is a purrrr-fect look for V-day.
Makeup:
Prep:
Wash your face first, because v-day is such a romantic holiday you want to look romantic, so you need super smooth skin. Also put lotion all over your face to give it an extra soft touch. Oh! and scrub those lips! you want them smooth and soft.
Face: because this is such a young look you want something with a dewy finish so tinted moisturizer works best. If you don't have any, mix your normal liquid foundation with lotion (about 50/50) and then use like lotion. Use a highlighting concealer (Try: Maybelline New York Fit Me!) to cover any spots you might have.
Eyes: No eye shadow (use some concealer to cover veins or spots on eye lid). Curl lashes. Next take a liquid eye liner on the 3/4 of the top lashes (starting from the outer corner), try to make it a little bit thicker on the outer corner. Next after the applicator has dried out a little use it to create a long thin wing from the end of the line you made before to the crease. (*a very thin wing!!!) Finally use a lengthening mascara to top it all off.
Cheeks: to give you a pretty glow use a blush stick in a bronze-y pink and apply on the apples of cheeks up to cheek bone.
Lips: use a candy pink lip stick and then go over that in a cherry red lip gloss (try: wet and wild lip gloss in cherry glaze)
Hair:
Prep:
Here is a secret to super smooth, shiny and soft hair; body lotion!!! its totally weird but when your hair is damp add a sweet smelling body lotion in your hair. Blow dry it fluffy and smooth.
Curl:
Use a one inch curling iron and loosely curl the ends of your hair (picture above).
Clip:
add a cute little clip to get a vintage-y vibe.
