Fall hair trends! Men & Women!

Hello pretty people! So fall is here! YIPPEE! Fall is my absolute favorite (I think I've mentioned that once or twice) ;) but seriously. The leaves are changing. Fashion is at its optimum point, all the cute boots and jackets! And no BLISTERING heat. It's just amazing! So with that being said I wanted to share some of this years AMAZING hair trends. I have previous posts that have have makeup trends but this is about hair for men and women. 

So I'll start with one MAJOR color trend. And it's the burgundy hair 

I mean come on right now with how gorgeous this is! However it is a tricky color to wear. You really need to have an olive or nuetral skin tone for this. Maybe with some slight color In your skin. Let's be real if your super pale or have that porcelain skin it's super duper hard to pull off. Which I know stinks because it's so pretty! 

On to some cuts! One major trend I'm seeing is girls getting rid of the obnoxiously long extensions. (I was one of those girls so I can say that) but let's be honest the 10 lbs of hair was heavy and have me a head ache. The things we do to be trendy. Smh. Here's a couple awesome women's cuts that have me drooling! (Figuratively) 

Long angled bobs are where it's at! I'm LOVING this hair cut. And it looks good on SOOOOOOO many people!!! 

Another look that's in is a beeeeaaaautiful asymmetrical bob! This is for a girl that's willing to go a little more out on the limb but I LOVE it. 

Now let's talk about boys.... Haha well their hair at least! This is the first time in a long time that there has been a decent mens trend. And I'm OBSESSED with it. Now if I could just talk my boyfriend out of just buzzing his whole head with a 2 guard. Goodness, boys...... Anywho the hard part is where it's at! So I thank you David (mmmm man candy) Beckham for showing the world what mens hair SHOULD look like 

The tapered hard part is just so sophisticated. Ahh I'm in love. These are just a few things I'm seeing a ton of this season. I hope this makes your next salon a bit easier! 

Thanks pretty people! Love you, muah!

My skin care routine!

Hey pretty people! I should start out by saying that I have been INCREDIBLY blessed to naturally have pretty good skin. I have some slight redness on my cheeks but if that's the worst that I have then I'm doing well! 

This was from this morning with no makeup or anything. 

Normally I use a make up remover wipe to begin with. I normally purchase whichever off brand I can find because I'm all about saving money. I just make sure they are MAKEUP REMOVER ones and NOT baby wipes. There is a difference and baby wipes will make your eye lashes fall out or thin eventually. 

Then in the when I take a shower and wash my hair I use an exfoliating black head remover. 

It's fairly inexpensive. About $6 and you can get it at any drugstore. But what's important is that I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week. So I only exfoliate on those days. I find I break out more when I exfoliate to often. 

But what I do use everyday is the Nuetregena fresh foaming cleanser that also is a makeup remover so it just gets my face super clean and makes it feel sooooooo soft 

It only cost me like $5. But like I said I have normal to dry skin and don't have much acne ever. I really haven't ever had it either. So this is what works for me. Just always try to remember to remove any makeup before going to bed. And try to give your face a couple days a week with less makeup or no make to let it breath. 

Thanks for reading.

Fall Lippies in my collection!!!

Hey pretty people! So i think I've mentioned once or twice that fall makeup season is my ABSOLUTE favorite of all time in the history of ever! The leaves are changing, scarfs everyday are socially exceptable, and leggings are a closet staple AND great lipsticks are. A. Must. So here are some of my fave fall Lippies that I already have in my collection 

A great raspberry lipstick is a great way to stay pink if your not quite sold on red just yet. I got this fave of mine at Walmart I believe for like $8 it's Rimmel and works really for any season! I'm actually almost out and I WILL be purchasing another! It's not glossy but it's not matte either. It's just a BEAUTIFUL color all around. And I find looks great on just about everyone. 

Here's a high end Lippie. Now this wears a bit darker then this swatch on me but is BEAUTIFUL it's Dior so it's going to set you back about $30 but it has AMAZING pigment and has just a moisturizing glossy finish! 

These 2 are currently are my daily favorites. The NYX one is on top and is a beautiful mauve that's is going to match just about any eyeshadow color and outfit color. That's why it's an awesome daily wear. The bottom one is Youngblood smolder and is my UNDENIABLE favorite lipstick right now. It's a mauve with just enough red and pink to compliment my skin tone perfectly and achieve that kylie jenner look. I got it from my local state beauty supply for 10$ the Nyx you can get from ULTA for $6. 

Who doesn't love a great nude? This Loreal priveé collection nude is amazing! It's a super soft pink that has the most insane buttery texture. You'll have the most kissable lips ever! And you'll look so good they won't even care you got lipstick all over them. Unless you'rey boyfriend Mitch and you absolutely hate it. Hahah love YA babe! ;) you can get this for $9 at any drugstore

Okay let's talk about r-r-r-red. It's hot. It's sexy. And let's be real it can get a little bit messy. But the right red can change a girls life. Red is powerful and sophisticated but the wrong red can make you look like a 2 cent hooker. For the fall I like deeper blue based and brick reds opposed to more orangy Reds that I find more appropriate in the summer. The top one is a loreal red that runs about $9 at the drugstore but I've had it forever bc it's one of my favorite reds ever! Now the bottom one is a sephora lip stain that is SUPER pigmented and a beautiful matte I always get SOOOOOO many compliments on it. You can get it at sephora for $12 

Lastly I wanted to do a swatch with them all together so you can see that they are actually all different I know sometimes that can look like I'm buying the same lipsticks over and over again but I promise I'm not! I only do that with eyeshadows hahaha. Anyways! Love you guys like always! Enjoy this beautiful weather and stay pretty! MUAH

Product review!!!

Hey pretty people! So I wanted to do a mid week blog on some products I've been using and loving! 

Let's jump right in! I'm super picky about foundations. I have way dry skin and so I find it hard to find foundations that don't transfer and don't cake up in my dry areas. Well loreal has had their true match line for a while but they just came out with their luminous true match line. And I'm LOVING it! It gives my skin a super hydrated glow and I haven't had any adverse reactions! AND it come ins Warm, neutral, and cool tones! That's AMAZING for a drugstore line!! 

It comes I. This packaging with a pump. WHICH I LOVE!! You waste less product and it just looks better. 

I'm Sand beige W5. Now I think I'm usually a more neutral tone however I found that the neutral colors were a bit light for me! I got this foundation at Ulta for about $11. So a STEAL! I HIGHLY recommend this!! 

Now anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE bronzer. Love is probably an understatment. I'm sure I've gone over board a time or too. And looked like the cast of jersey shore but hey more is more is more. Right? Probably not but I do love this Hoola Bronzer by Benefit cosmetics. 

The packaging is sooooo stinkin cute!! It comes in this precious little box! Now benefit cosmetics is a high end line. And I do try to stay more with affordable especially when talking to other people about makeup because just to be real most sane people don't spend what I spend on make up. I mean I could probably have a second car. Haha. Anyways. This will run you about $28 at ulta. I think this is totally worth the money. With good high end products you tend to have to use less product to achieve the look so it's a give and take. I also love the brush it comes with. I haven't purchased an Ida brush yet so I've been using this to get a nice sculpted look! And the color is AMAZEBALLS for fall. It's super neutral so it look fab on just about anyone. And we tend to be less tan in the summer so it's just perfect and SUPER blend able. 

And lastly is my Milani gel eyeshadows. Now I will be the first to say as a gel eyeshadow I don't think their the best. HOWEVER I do LOVE the colors and I think that's all that matters. 

These are the colors I have as of now. Cappuccino (matte) which is a great drugstore transition color. Emerald (shimmer) which is a BEAUTIFUL green for fall! Bronze (shimmer) which is a fave on any eye color and champagne (shimmer)  which Is a beautiful soft pink shimmer color. I have only found these ins Select CVS. And they are only $5 an eyeshadow! I LOVE them! 

Well pretty people that's all I've got for now! Have a great week! Do something nice for a stranger! 

Fall beauty tips, tricks & trends

Hey pretty people! I know it's been way to long but talk about life getting busy! With that being said FALL IS UPON US. Well mostly. Your never truly know in oklahoma. tomorrow morning is suppose to be 49 degrees and then 70 is the high. What in the world?! Anyways enough about the weather! Fall is my FAVORITE makeup season HANDS DOWN. I think it's because I love the colors and the warmth and drama you can get away with. So here are some of the trends that pretty much never go out of style in fall and what some of the Fall 2014 styles are! Also you can see I have longer hair. I love my Extentions in the colder weather and it's dark dark! Love it! 

Smokey eyes! 

Smokey eyes are pretty much always in style. Though I find that during the summer and spring it's a bit much for a day time look. However in the fall I think this dusty rose smokey eye is perfect with a nude lip and an awesome scarf! During the day I wouldn't do a bold lip with this it's going to be a bit harsh unless that's the look your going for! 

Deep plum or red 

 Can we talk about how obsessed I am with this look for a second. I mean COME ON! If you are going to do a bold lip this is the way To go. This deep deep lip is SUPER stylish for fall. It's classy yet edgy! Unfortunatly I don't have a suggestion on a color specific for this look because I haven't found one for myself. However I do have the Dior londres and I find it's a bit lighter so more girls would be more appt to go for. When I find one I'll be sure to post it! 

Benefit cosmetics hoola bronzer! 

I'm LOVING this bronzer for fall and winter. It's not to warm and it's not to cool and looks fabulous on fairer skin. Now I'm dark completed naturally. But obviously were all a bit lighter in the fall and winter. The sun kissed look just doesn't quite fit when there is snow on the ground. You can purchase this from ulta for $28. Yes a bit more pricy but I say just go ahead and spend the money. 

Go for color this fall! 

This is YouTube famous makeup artist Jaclyn Hill she is AMAZING!! So funny! And I was just obsessed with this look. This is going to be great for a night out in fall! It's also going to be for that more risk taking girl. The green is real life for fall. I'm just OBSESSED. Check her out on YouTube! 

Also the Kylie jenner look is SO IN for anytime of the year! This is Jaclyn hills new lipstick creation by Gerard cosmetics called 1995! Ahh it's beautiful but a bit pricy. 

This is me and the color I wear to mimic this look it's my NYX cosmetics for $6 it's the Matte: whipped caviar. 

And here are some basic tips for fall. 

Go one or the other for day time. Bold lip and neutral eye or neutral lip and bold eye. 

Reds and plums are so in! 

Stay more matte with foundation and powders. 

Moisturize your face! The cold dries it out! 

Hair in buns and scarfs are always exceptable. 

Go cozy and warm if you want too! We wait all Summer for it! And yes uggs are ugly but oh so comfy! 

And remember to always be positive and encouraging. The holiday season is right around the corner so slow down and enjoy the crisp air and changing leaves! Stay pretty 

Xoxo

MINI ULTA HAUL!!!!! 8/31/2014

Hey pretty people so today I went to one of my favorite places EVER!!!! Ulta!!!! Now I love ulta because they have high end and drug store products! So I'll go over what I got and what I spent! But basically I got a ton of NYX stuff again because they were sold out of benefit cosmetics hoola bronzer that I wanted to try.  And they didn't carry they Anastasia contour kit I wanted to purchase. So that's to be continued. 

Overview: 

Real techniques stippling brush 

Nyx falsies 

NyxHD powder

NYX butter gloss

NYX blotting Powder 

NYX blush 

And NYX HD concealer 

Real techniques stippling brush 

I decided to try this out. I was in need of a new one and I was really pleased with the last RT brush I purchased. This brush cost 9.99 before tax! I hope to purchase more of their brushes in the future  

Nyx blotting and setting powder 

I got this in the shade BLP02 light-medium I plan on using this to set my under eyes. We'll see. I'm not sure about the color but I'm hopeful! Cost: $11.99

Nyx falsies 

Falsies are a girls best friend they make your photos look better your eyes look bigger and long luscious lashes are always in style. I've never used NYX lashes before but these look similar to the Kiss KP001 lashes that I've recently been obsessed with. Cost: 3.49 

 

Nyx butter gloss 

I've heard nothing but incredible things about this gloss. This is in shade- peaches and cream. I have other NYX lip sticks but this is a gloss I tried it on and it feels amazing on your lips. Super hydrating and it is highly pigmented so you actually get a color! I'll post some selfies with it on! Cost: $4.99

Nyx HD finishing powder 

A finishing powder is going to be great for setting everything on your face. It doesn't have a color all it does is keep everything I place and allow you make up to really look flawless. Cost: $9.99 

Nyx HD concealer 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this concealer. It's wear and coverage is incredible. The only issue I've had is how quickly I go through it. YIKES but it only cost $4.99 so I'm not complaining!!! So I just had to buy more 

Last but not least NYX blush

this is in the color desert rose. I have one in apricot and I LOVE it. I wanted to get something more rosy and deep for the fall! Which I cannot wait for! Fall makeup is my favorite! Cost: $5.99 

That brought my total to $54.83 BUT WAIT! I'm totally a bargain shopper and starting today for a week ulta has 20% off your entire purchase meaning I spent $44.54 for 7 products! That's AMAZEBALLS! Well thanks for reading pretty people! And I hope everyone is having an awesome holiday weekend! Muah! 

Make those eyes POP!!!

Hey pretty people Have you ever looked at a girl and was like geeze her eyes are freaking GORGEOUS! yea well she probably had blue eyes... And you have brown... Am I right? Anyways I'm here to tell you that ANY eye color can look insane if you play them up and wear the right eyeshadow colors! 

I do think from a girls point of veiw we all instantly thing blue eyes are way prettier but I have brown eyes and I have a high prescription and I'll never be able to wear colored contacts nor do I want to. So here are easy ways to make whatever eye color you have look AMAZEBALLS

just a disclaimer: most of these pictures are not of me or my client they are off my Pinterest seeing how I have 1 eye color. 

Let's start with Blue eyes. 

For blue eyes I always recommend the opposite of the eye color which is browns. Try to stay ways from black eyeliner they tend to look way to harsh and will take away from the deep blues your going for. I say go for a deep brown eyeliner. It may come off as black but the undertones will enhance to blue pigment. 

Now for the brown eyes 

Brown eyes are really going to pop with burgundy shades as well as darker blacks. The coppery look with the burgundy shades are going to really bring out those gold flecks that most brown eyes have! 

As well as lots of golds and burnt colors. It's going to make those beautiful brown eyes just really warm and inviting. 

Those envied green eyes

Green eyes are the easiest to work with because they are so unique and can pop in just about every color but I recommend purples and plums. Again with the opposites! But really plums are amazing. If you wear brown eyeliner your eyes will pull more blueish tones and black will be greener

Stunning grey eyes

Grey eyes are the hardest because if you wear browns and stuff they will pull more blue but if you want to go for an icy cool grey look then I suggest Greys and blacks eyeshadows. 

My eyes

They are more of a dark hazel. If I go with blacks and dark browns I get a really coppery eye color and if I go with more of the plums I get more green out of my eyes. 

Now these are all just suggestions on what in my opinion makes certain eye colors pop. You can of course were any and every eyeshadow that your heart desires I sure do! And remember everyone's eyes are beautiful. Your eyes portray all of your inner emotion. Have a great Labor Day weekend lovies! 

Blending, Buffer, Blush Brushes OH MY!

Hey pretty people! Happy hump day! As you can tell from the title this obviously all about brushes! Now I get asked all the time about what to use, how much to spend, blah, blah, blah... (Kidding! I love when people ask me questions!) Hopefully this answers all of them! 

Unfortunately brushes are an area in your makeup drawer that I say you do need to spend a little extra. The good news is that you don't have to do everything at once! Starting out I bought a full kit off of amazon.com for like $40. Now by no means were these MAC like quality brushes but they got the job done and a few I still use because they rock and I love them! So for a full kit I recommend that! 

Here are my recommendations for the everyday girl that won't brake the bank and will give the best bang for your buck! 

What you need: 

Stipping

Kabuki (buffer) 

Angled powder 

Dense lid 

Medium blending 

Beauty blender

No worries if that doesn't make sense just yet! There's no test at the end and I have pictures! 

Stippling : Sigma F80

This is for foundation application. You pump the liquid on the back of your hand dab the brush in it and then in small circular motions apply to cheeks, chin, neck, forehead, then nose! This is $24 this can be used for liquid or powder foundation! 

Www.sigmabeauty.com

Kabuki (Buffer): Sigma F45 

This cute little thing is a buffer brush! It's going to be great for applying powder all over the face buffing out any contour or adding some blush! Of course there are a multitude of other amazing brushes that can do those things too this is for that everyday girl that is looking for simple and easy this is it! The price $22.40 

Dense lid brush: IB109 

This brush is pretty self explanatory. It's to add all that beautiful color right to the lid of your eye! I say everyone get on good one of these. Those silly applicators that come in an eyeshadow are a joke. This is from Morphe brushes on sale for get this $1.08! I mean seriously come on with this!!!! 

Www.Morphebrushes.com

Blending: Sigma E40 

Blending brushes are a staple in eye makeup and an ABSOLUTE MUST! They give that beautiful seamless smokey eye or blown out look as well and an easy bronzer to the eyelid because I'm running out the door look! This is also from signed for $16. Obviously I love sigma. they are MAC quality (in my opinion) brushes for a fraction of the cost. 

Last but certainly not least! 

The BEAUTY BLENDER!!!!!! 

The beauty blender in my opinion as changed the liquid makeup game. This thing is work every friggin' penny!!!! All you do is get it wet and it more then doubles in size you dab some foundation and concealer all over your face (don't rub in just dot all over your face) and then Take your damp beauty blender and dab in quick motions all over your face and WALL-LA! Perfectly blended foundation and concealer in seconds!!!!! 

Www.sephora.com 

I hope that this has been way helpful and makes since! I want every girl to feel pretty in their own skin. Makeup isn't to mask imperfections but to enhance beauty that's already there! Stay pretty Loveys!!
