Spring Into Color: Lipstick!

Hello Beauties!

Since Spring is upon us, I thought I would share with you my favorite lip colors for Spring! This is the time of year to wear bright, girly, fun colors. Nothing perks up a look or an outfit quite like a statement lip color. So here are my picks:

From Left: elf Flirtatious, WnW 967 Dollhouse Pink, WnW 901B Think Pink, Rimmel Pink Blush, WNW 511B Nouveau Pink, Laura Geller Berry Vanilla, Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Punch, elf Mineral tinted lip balm Blush, Milani Mandarina

Now go brighten up those pretty smiles!

Pick of The Week

Happy Tuesday All!

This pick of the week, addresses a serious issue near and dear to my heart...chapped lips. I remember a time not to long ago when your options were basically Chapstick or Burts Bees, everything else...well it kinda sucked. But in this wonderful day and age there are some really stand out brands.

This week I pick Maybelline Baby Lips. I still love my EOS, but the reason this makes it to the POTW is they have some really great tinted lip balms. These are the three I have, they range in price from $2.99-$3.25 depending on where you go.

Pink Punch, Cherry Me & Quenched

Great color, great moisture and I don't feel like I constantly have to reapply it like a lot of other brands.

They look pretty similar in this picture but the pink is actually very bright, Kaci doesn't like this shade for herself, but I love!

Hope you enjoyed this Pick of The Week!

Full Face Routine Plus Purple Smokey Eyes

Hey everyone!
Today I wanted to film my foundation routine, but then I decided to do a whole look for you since I had to get ready for the day anyway. So I split it into 3 parts that I hope will be helpful for you all.

Part one is my foundation routine, this is essentially what I do anytime I wear liquid foundation:

The second part is how I contour and highlight:

And the last is a purple smokey eye tutorial:

I really hope you guys enjoy these videos! I certainly had fun doing them!
