Celebrity Inspired Look!!

     Hi lovies! I am finally posting up one of my videos!!! This is not my favorite video because I still haven't gotten a hold of the whole "film a whole video under 15mins" thing, so please be nice. The look was inspired by the Dabboo Ratnani 2012 Calendar shoot with Aishwariya Rai. I absolutely loved her makeup. It is a really wearable brown smokey eye and anyone can pull it off! Mine doesn't look exactly like hers because I used colors that suit my skintone. This will be a perfect look for people who are afraid to do a super dark smokey eye and it's also a great date look. So here is the picture and tutorial!

What's New? L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows!

     Hi my lovelies! I am back with another "What's New?" post and today I will be letting you know about my favorite new DRUGSTORE eyeshadows! Recently, I came across the new L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Eyeshadows at my local Bed Bath and Beyond and I fell in love. First off, when you open the shadows, they look like pressed pigments. It also comes with a little tool that allows you to press down any loose pigments, so do not throw that little tool away! Now, let me list all the colors I own and the pros and cons about this product. I own the colors Endless Pearl, Eternal Sunshine, Amber Rush, Sultry Smoke, Golden Sage, Perpetual Purple, Mignight Blue, and Eternal Black. My favorite colors are the last two and I guarantee that if you swatch those colors at the store, you will fall in love with them!

Midnight Blue



Pros
- lasts a long time without primer
- wide range of neutral colors
- smooth velvety texture
- extremely pigmented
Costs:- $8-10




Perpetual Purple

Cons
- doesn't blend very easily into
the crease
- bulky packaging
- prettier colors sold outside the US =[








     Before I wrap up this post, I want to share a little secret with you. Did you know that L'Oreal Paris owns Giorgio Armani? You are probably wondering "Why is this crazy chick telling me this?!" Well, the only reason I am sharing this is because these eyeshadows have an amazing resemblance to the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill eyeshadows! Look below!

L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Eyeshadow
      Do you see it?! Isn't that crazy?! The only differences I noticed are the look of the lids and the shape of the pot and personally I prefer the look of the L'Oreal shadows more. In my opinion, performance wise, they are both the same. I have swatched both and did not notice a difference. I suggest spending $8-10 on the L'Oreal one instead of $32 on the Armani one. No one will be able to tell what brand you are wearing on your eyes! Anyways, I hope this helped and I will be doing a video on this to show you swatches so stay tuned for that. I hope you guys are enjoying your winter break. Dont forget to moisturize and always remember to Stay Beautiful!! xoxoxox

What's New? Sephora Prisma Chrome Eyeshadows!

     Hi loves! Happy New Year! I know I have been gone for a while. I was just super lazy and did not feel like doing anything productive after finals. But now I am back and I will definitely be posting up blogs more often. I also have some news to share with everyone! I have started my Youtube channel and have been posting videos so if you guys are interested, you can ask me for the link. Anyways, if you guys have been to Sephora, Ulta, or any drugstores, you have probably been seeing a ton of new makeup products. I will be posting up blogs talking about some of those new products because I did pick some up but, for today, I want to talk about my favorite new find!

     If you have been to Sephora lately, you probably have noticed the new Prisma Chrome Eyeshadows by Sephora. These eyeshadows are amazing and definitley the best eyeshadows I have ever seen by the Sephora Collection. They supposedly combine the best features of baked, powder, and cream shadows. These shadows are extremely pigmented and feel very velvety. As for the finish, I wouldn't say they are shimmery but they definitely have a luminous, satin look to them. They come in 10 colors and are a limited edition product so you have to go and pick them up while they are still in stock. I picked up the color "Gold Reflection" which is a bright yellow gold and I am absolutely in love with it! I can't wait to do a Nicki Minaj inspired look with it soon! They cost $15, which is definitely a little pricey for a single shadow, but for the quality of the product I think it is well worth it.



     Anyways, I hope you guys give this a try. I am sure you will love it. Happy New Year!!
Stay Beautiful!! xoxoxox
