Viva Glam Miley Cyrus: Swatches and Review

Normally, I'm not the person that gets excited when MAC comes out with a new product. But, when I saw these two beauties, I knew that I had to have them!

Miley Cyrus has partnered up with MAC to create a lipstick and lipglass as part of their Viva Glam line. This one is especially special because all the proceeds go towards men, women and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. So not only are you going to have beautiful hot pick lips, you'll also be helping many people in the process. 

Now let's get to the products!

The lipstick is a hot pink hued, amplified creme lipstick. This is going to be so much fun to wear all year round but especially in the Spring and Summer! My first reaction to seeing it in person was, YAAAAASSSSSSS! I love super bright colors, so this is right up my alley.

 Next up is the lipglass, again we have a hot pink color only this time there is a sparkling pearl shimmer. You can wear this alone for a pretty, shimmering look or place it on top of the lipstick that goes with it (or any pink/red lipstick). I like that this isn't super sticky but still stays put.

 Last, I want to just show you what they look like when you wear them together.

Again, YAAAASSSSS!!!

Fall Sunset Eye Tutorial

I saw this picture a few days back and being the woman I am, I immediately saw inspiration. I wanted to create an eye look using the colors, or at least colors similar, to the ones in the picture. And what better palette to use than the Lorac Mega Pro! 

So here I am in all of my "I just woke up and I HAVE to get this tutorial done" glory. I already filled in my brows and put on some under eye concealer.

#flawless

First step is to prime your lids! This is a must, especially with dark colors, so that your look doesn't crease. I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion, like I would use something else....

Next, you want to take any blending brush and place the color Camel into your crease. Go ahead and put it up a little above your crease also.

Next, I went in right under Camel with Mulberry with a domed blending brush. This has became one of my favorite shadows! It's so unique for a matte color. Blend this into your crease and onto your lid. No need to be precise because we're going to go over that in just a bit.

Then you want to take the color Espresso and place it all over your lid with a shadow brush.

Now to make the eyes pop just a little more, we are going to mix Mulberry and Espresso and buff it onto our lower lash line, with a pencil brush. I also highlighted with the color Cream, using my pointer finger, I placed it under my brow and in my inner corners.

I decided that I didn't want to use a liner on my upper lash line. But, I took a brown eyeliner and lined my waterline and added some black mascara. I used MAC's Stubborn Brown and L'Oreal's Butterfly Intenza in blackest black.

Lastly, I used a light lipstick, because I wanted the eyes to steal the show. The color I used was Jordana's Twist and Shine in Honey Love (Bonus! It's only $2.99 at Walgreens).

Here is the completed look!

Fall Tutorial With Lorac Pro 2

Fall is my favorite season. I love the gray skies, sweater weather and bringing Starbucks back into my routine. But, most of all, I love Fall make-up!

Today, we're going to create a look using the Lorac Pro 2 palette. I can already tell that this will be a staple, for me, for Fall and Winter! Let's get started!

First, you want to prime your eyes. I used my favorite primer by Urban Decay. Then, with a fluffy blending brush, I buffed Light Brown into my crease.

Next, with a shader brush, I packed Rose onto the inner half of my lid and into the inner corner. Be sure to blend the colors together after each step.

After that, I took Jade and packed it onto the outter half of my lid with another shader brush. Then blended Rose and Jade together.

Then, with a small blending brush, I blended Plum into my outter V.

After doing my brows, I highlighted my brow bone with the lightest color, Snow.

Make sure to blend, blend, blend! Now it's time for eyeliner! All I did was add black liquid liner to my top lash line. I didn't do a thick line and I didn't wing it just so that I didn't take away from the shadow. 

Last, you want to add a coat or two of your favorite mascara! And that completes your eyes!

For my face, I wanted to keep it simple. I used a liquid foundation that sets to a matte finish, bronzed my face and added a deep colored blush. On my lips, I wanted a dark matte lipstick so I used MAC's Diva. 

Here's the final look!
