Princess Jasmine Halloween Tutorial

Hey guys! So I'm finally back, and with a super fun post this time! A halloween tutorial! This one is inspired by the Disney Princess Jasmine who is my all time favorite princess. I'm a Disney junkie for sure. I own all the classics on VHS and I've been to Disney world 8 times. My all time dream is to work there as one of the Disney Princesses, and that is a possibility for me once I've graduated high school. Some more big news, I turn 16 in exactly a week! I'm having a sweet sixteen party that's Mardi Gras themed and I can't wait! My dress is GORGEOUS and my grandmother is making it. It's sparkly and gold, and my heels are classic black patent leather. I will definitely being doing an outfit of the day that day. Let me know if you guys want to see how I'm doing my makeup because I can definitely make a tutorial for that! I'll be sure to post pictures from the party! But for now, lets get going on this tutorial!

First start off with an au naturale face

Next, do your usual face routine.  I use Maybelline Dream Fresh
BB cream, and milani highlighter, and Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Then I used the Lorac TANtalizer to make my face look darker
just like Jasmine

Next I'm using Blackout from Naked 2 to do my eyebrows.
 I know these look crazy but, these are cartoon eyebrows,
so you can tone them down if you want!

Next I took this white ultra crayon and placed it all over my lid and blended
it in, using it as a base

I took the color my brush is pointing at from the BH cosmetics 120 3rd edition
palette and placed it on my eyelid

Then I took Peace from a limited edition Urban Decay
palette and place it right on top to make it pop a little
more

Then with a small contour brush, I took this color and put
that in the crease. For this I used scotch tape to create a sharp line,
as you can see in the picture below so that it looks cleaner and more
princess like.

Next I took this purple from the same BH cosmetics palette, and I placed it
in my crease but I didn't blend it, I just patted it on, to give a little more color.

Next I took this cream eyeshadow from Ulta in the color
Shimmering Topaz and with the smudge brush I dragged that
across my lower lash line, This is key because it really brings
together the entire look in my opinion.

Next,  I reapplied to tape to that sharp like and applied a
thick cat eye. I reapplied the tape so that I could make the wing
go along the shadow line

Next, I took Verve and applied it under my brow bone

Self- Explanatory. I applied my favorite mascaras, I would suggest
falsies for this, but I didn't have any on hand so I made do with
what I had

Next I applied a dark plum lipstick from MAC, and I have
no idea what it's called... Sorry!

And your done!

Brand Rave: Wet N' Wild

Hello lovely ladies! My post for today is going to be what I call a "brand rave". It's going to be a series of posts where I talk about some of my favorite brands of makeup, or clothes, or basically anything. Let me know what your guys' "brand raves" are in the comments and maybe it'll be featured in the next post! Now, onto the rave! Wet N' Wild has been around as long as I can remember. In fact, it was probably one of the first brands I bought makeup from, and it continues to be an old stand by to this day, a few years later. The great thing about this brand is you get products that are super cheap but they are great quality! Some of my favorites throughout the years have been the concealer, the lip glosses for sure, and the eyeshadows. I can't wait to be able to try out all the products that Wet N' Wild has to offer. They even have a beauty ambassador program that you can check out here. All and all, it's a pretty good brand.

Some of my current favorites from the brand:

One of my favorite palettes is called Walking on Eggshells. This is a palette with three colors, one for the crease, one for the browbone, and one for your lid. My favorite from this palette is the lid color because it's said to be an exact dupe for Stila's "Kitten" shadow. This is a nice shimmery light pink color, and it stays on your lids all day. These shadows have amazing pigmentation with and without a primer. I also have the Knock On Wood palette, which is another three color palette that focus' on more of a burgundy color, so it'll be perfect for the fall time.

My next favorite is the is the Mega Liner Liquid Liner, in number 863. I find this kind of hard to use for actually lining my eyes, but what I really like this for is small decorations around the face like on the Walk Like an Egyptian tutorial, I used this liner to create dots under my lower lash line., and I will definitely be featuring it in tutorials to come!

Next up is the MegaLast lipstick. I have this one in Red Velvet, and the staying power of this stuff in amazing! The red color that I have works so well, even though I almost never wear red. It'll stay all night if you need it, and the best thing is that it it only costs $1-$2, much line everything else from this brand which is one of the many reasons why I love it so much.

Lastly, is the concealer. This stuff is absolutely amazing! I believe its $1.99 but don't hold it against me! This stuff conceals all your redness, and it has amazing staying power! It doesn't look cakey! I will go back to this again and again.


I hope you guys loved this post! Please leave me more feedback in the comments and let me know some of your favorites products from Wet N' Wild so that I can try them!

Review: Revlon Photoready Cream Blushes

Hey everyone! Today I have another review for you! These are the Revlon Photoready cream blushes. So, these come in three colors: Pinched, Flushed, and Coral Reef, and I managed to snag all three of them! These run from about $10-$13. I picked one up at Rite Aid, with a buy one get one 50% off coupon, and then I grabbed the other two on sale for about $5, so not a bad deal at all. I love these blushes. They are sooo pigmented, and whats great about them, is you can build them up from a sheer finish, to a dramatic one, depending on what you like. The staying power is great, and I usually like to set these with my ELF blushes. To apply these I just create three dots of product along my cheekbones, and then blend. If I feel like the coverage is too light, I just add another layer. It's that easy! These blushes are my everyday go to blushes, and with just these three, you'll have one for every look. Even though they are a bit expensive for a drugstore product, a little goes a long way, and these are the only blushes that you'll need.

Coral Reef- Bright orange coral color, blends to a sheer coral, can be built up to almost a florescent orange
Pinched- Light peachy color, very natural looking. Perfect for a no makeup-makeup look. Can be built up to be just the tiniest bit dramatic
Flushed- Hot pink color, goes on very pink, use a light hand, unless your going for a doll-like look. Still really love the product.

Top to Bottom: Coral Reef, Pinched, Flushed

Review: L'Oreal Total Repair 5 damage erasing balm

Alright guys, confession... I straighten my hair pretty much every single day.. I know, I know, it's super bad, but I honestly hate my natural hair. It's really... Big. I like having nice, sleek hair that's easy to manage and looks nice, so I straighten it. The only bad thing about this is my hair gets damaged very easily , and within a week of getting my hair cut, it's rough and feels damaged. I know I should use a heat protectant, but honestly... I forget. So, I started looking for something that could reverse damage, and voila! I found this! 

This product works like a dream. All you have to do is, after your done washing your hair, grab a glob of this and work it through the ends of your hair. Wait about 5 minutes and rinse it out. That's it. You'll notice an immediate difference in the texture of your hair after the first use. It's almost like it seals the split ends. My hair is so much easier to brush now, and it's very soft and smooth! When I straighten it, it looks like I just got a haircut that day, and it feels like it too. The greatest thing about this product? You can get it for about $5-$7 at the drugstore and that lasts a pretty long time! I've had mine for maybe a month and I use it everyday and I'd say I'm about half done with it. Now, if you don't straighten your hair or your hair isn't as bad as mine was, you don't have to use it everyday, and once a week will suffice, but I prefer to use mine like a conditioner. I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Let me know what your favorite hair products are below!

*Welcome*

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by! I'm so excited to be starting this blog because I've literally always wanted to! I guess I'll start off by telling you a little about myself!

First is first, I love anything that has to do with beauty, especially fashion! Although I don't plan to major in anything related to it when I go to college, there's something about it that makes me so happy. I'm a sports addict. I can't really imagine what it's like to not play sports, although I do know what it's like to be out for about a half a year because of an ACL tear. If you guys want a post on that, let me know. My favorites are soccer and swimming. I'm a varsity swimmer and I swing varsity and jv soccer, so not too shabby! ;) I'm not the best in school, but I'm trying really hard to do good this year, most of my problem was probably organization which I have gotten better at already! I've always been a good reader. My first major series I read was Harry Potter, and I started that in about second grade. I love the Hunger Games series now though. In school I take mostly honors except for history, and this year will be my second year of Latin, which is very hard! One of my other obsessions is Vera Bradley, I don't know why... But it just is. I just started watching Teen Wolf and it's soooo good! Everyone please check it out! I would like to make an Allison Argent lookbook sometime. The only high end makeup I own is the Naked 2 palette and it's definitely worth the money. My sweet sixteen is going to be a Mardi Gras theme, and my dress is gold, and my grandmother is making it. If you guys would like to know anything more about me, leave your questions in the comments down below!
