look of the night- blue smokey eye

Hey beautiful people!
Today I'm gonna show you how to achieve this look ------> a soft blue smokey eye











Firstly prime the eye: I'm using my Coastal Scents Eclipse Palette
http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/product/2216_140/eclipse-concealer-palette.cfm)
 [ 2nd from the right at the bottom]





Then taking a highlight colour, place that on the brow bone. I'm using two I-Mark eyeshadows from Mark by Avon, Whisper( bottom right) and Fairy Dust( top left). I mix those two together then apply it to the browbone.






Then I apply Corset( 2nd from right bottom row) by I-Mark in the crease and on the outer V






Afterwards, take Whisper and Fairy Dust again and apply to the lid. On top of that add NYX pearl loose eyeshadow in Pink to the inner corner













Then apply a black eyeshadow to the outer V to darken it. I'm using the black from my Coastal Scents 88 palette.











 Add eyeliner to both lid and lower waterline, use the Corset eyeshadow on the lower lash line,  add mascara and YOU'RE DONE!






Till later :)

Mother's Day brunch makeup look

Beautiful people!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I hope you had a great day with your children. For my mom we went out to a nice brunch before taking her to the airport because she had to go to Canada for work. I did this look today, a natural look, really simple with a pop of gold eyeshadow. This look can easily go from day to night by brightening the gold. I hope you like!

Make a mother smile today! :)

Hair Journey

Hello beautiful people!!!

I've decided to start a hair journey, like many persons have done on Youtube. I'm just starting and my first goal is APL ( Arm Pit Length). My plan so far is to co wash once a week on Wednesdays and to wash it on Saturdays, both times I will deep condition/moisture treatment. Then every 6 weeks I'll do a protein treatment. Also im gonna stretch out my relaxer to at least 10 or 12 weeks. I moisturise every day with either coconut oil or a mixture natural oils ( coconut, castor, jojoba, olive etc)

Thats basically it for now. I really want to get to APL but i have to get my hair healthy first because right now its breaking pretty badly. Updates will be coming!! See pics below for where I'm at right now.

All for now
*embrace your pretty!!*

Carnival!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend asked me to do a carnival inspired look for a magazine show filming thingamajig this Thursday so I decided to do a test run. What do you think?? This is the look I came up with, minus lashes and rhinestones. Theres nothing else on my face except the eyeshadow.
