African Sahara Inspired Look feat. NYX Cosmetics

I got some Ardell false eyelashes to try out. I recently wore them to a wedding and loved how they came out. So since, I've had a lot of requests to try falsies in a video.. I thought hmm I'll wear them for this look.

Although.. it didn't end up that way haha I had already applied my left eyelash when I went to go record my tutorial. As I was setting up for the tutorial, I noticed my other eyelash was missing!! OMG, Tulio and I spent like 20 minutes lookin' for this damn eyelash! Needless to say, I couldn't find it. So thank goodness I had a pair of dollar lashes I have had for awhile. It worked out, even though really you can't tell I'm wearing them lol but hey, I felt fancy ;D

I hope you like this tutorial, mind the buzzer in the video lol that's to cover up my swearing haha Thanks so much for all of your comments!

Silver with Browns, Grey, Golden Yellow & Purples

I wanted to do a grey smokey eye for the holidays, and since we were going for our Christmas tree I wanted to look extra nice for family pictures. I wanted to do a grey smokey eye but not a traditional just black, grey and white. So I paired it with some browns, and golden yellows. Tulio told me..."Hey you should add a little purple in there.." and boy was he right. I just patted on some purple over the whole look and it came out gorgeous. Get your family or friends involved or your boyfriend, or girlfriend and ask for input! sometimes it's great to get inspiration from all types of venues.

The palette I got at DD Discounts a store out here in the Bay Area. I got it for only $4.99 and it is pigmented sooo much I was so so impressed. I know you can also get this palette at TJMAXX since a friend of mine has found the same palette there. Well I hope you enjoy the look and please let me know your thoughts!

Excuse the hair, and the face. I came right out the shower and didn't bother. We were in a hurry to go to the store to pick up items for dinner. I literally did this eyeshadow look in 5 minutes!
