Zebra Nail Tutorial

Hi loves :-) I did this tutorial a while ago. Now I've never done a nail tut before and I'm no expert when it comes to nail art or anything like that but I am a nail polish freak! Haha I have a ton of nail polish and paint my nails pretty often. This is just a design I wanted to try out and I recorded myself doing it. Hope you enjoy!

Products used:
Buffing Block
OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - I Pink I Can
Nail Art Brush (you can also use an old eyeliner brush)
Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme
Essie To Dry For

NFL Makeup Looks: Houston Texans

Hi loves! So I decided it would be better and look more organized if I put the products I used for a given look on my blog instead of making the description box on YouTube 10 ft long :-) So this is the look that I came up with for the Houston Texans. It can be a little bit difficult to do a look using the color red (at least for me it is) because red is such a weird color as far as eyeshadow goes. For one, it can make you look sleepy or like you have allergies and two, the fallout sucks! I would recommend that you do your foundation last when using red eyeshadow. When you get fallout on an already made up face, it can be super hard to get it off without ruining your foundation. Just a tip :-) So anyway on to the products:

L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base

Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Corrector - 230

Cover Girl Aqua CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer - Light/Medium

Revlon Color Stay Pressed Powder - Light/Medium

Manly Palette (eBay) - dark red; red

Revlon Matte E/S - Riviera Blue

Revlon Powder Blush - Smokey Rose

Almay One Coat Dial Up Mascara - Black

Almay Lipgloss - Petal

These are the products that I used BUT you can do this look using any products you already have :-) The whole point is making your products work for YOU. If you have any questions about the look or about the products used, ask away :-) Video link will be below xoxo

Muchos thanks!! :-)

Hi loves <3 So I'm about halfway through the NFL Makeup Looks series. I'm trying to get through them quickly but that's not to say I'm just throwing whatever together :-) I really do think about the colors and the way they're incorporated into the team logo or jersey. I hope you all are enjoying them because I've been having a lot of fun doing them. But there are some new projects I want to start working on. And on top of that I want to do Cosmo Covers again because that was a lot of fun too :-)

In other news...I reached 300 subbies earlier this week and was so excited about it! I started my YT channel just to talk about something I really love, makeup. I didn't think a lot of people were going to really care or watch because there are so many other girls on YT that do similar videos. But I'm very thankful to everyone who subscribes and leaves me such nice comments. It really lifts my spirits :-D And I will continue to make videos as long as someone is watching :-)

Also my contest/giveaway ended last Friday and today I announced the winner, Lillian (bruciesheart). Congratulations!! I honestly LOVED every single entry that I recieved and I wish I could send everyone a prize. Believe me, if I could I definitley would :-) But I do thank everyone and appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to make a video entry for my contest. There will be many more to come because I am one who LOVES to give things to other people. (Just ask my mom lol she used to scold me because I would give my toys away to my friends and neighbors.) So if you didn't win please don't feel too bad, there will be many more opportunites.

I have a September-October favorites video coming up soon as well as a tag. So I hope you all enjoy those and everyone have a beautiful rest of the week!! <3 xoxoxoxo

SLACKER!!!

So I know I've been slacking it on keeping up with this blog. I'm sorry my loves! I've been so into doing videos and editing (which takes forever) that I haven't even update my poor little blog.
:-( Sad face. But I will be more diligent in updated and posting pictures and what not. In fact I have a haul video that I just recorded and edited tonight, it'll probably go up on Wednesday and I'll be posting swatch pictures on here!! :-) (Why is there an alarm going off outside!?! It's 12:45am....scaaawweee) I'm sorry if it seems like I'm drunk or on crack right now...I'm so tired! LOL I'm literally falling asleep at the keyboard. But I wanted to just give you all a little update. So yes I will be posting very soon on here. Stay tuned. Now I'm going to bed because if not I'll probably keep typing word vomit :-) Talk to you soon!! xoxo
