Sparkles + glitter + smokey eye = "eye" have got your attention!

 

Retro Glam

 

Make your lips pop out with Red + thin winged eyeliner

 

Frosty Pink

 

Porcelain + Red = Pinup Glamour

 

Baby Pink + Bold Eyeliner = soft yet edgy

A Pink Valentine's

Should this year's Valentine's Day be in pink? Looked through some of these inspirations "just in case" xoxo!

 

So simple, so lovely - fresh sugar perfection

I'm in love with one of the gifts I received for Christmas!!

Thanks to my lovely sister, I have been using this product and it's addictive.. beware..

 

There large red and white floral patterned one is a container that held 2 parts:
(1) polish: sugar lip polish
(2)lip treatment/sunscreen: sugar passion lip treatment that provides sunscreen and a lip tint in a deep rouge color, but it's very sheer.

I absolutely loved the smell when I first opened it, so much so that I actually didn't notice I was being video taped haha!  There's a sweet but not overpowering smell that makes them seem almost edible.  My lips feel so much softer and is it possible that it even feels more plump?!?  The lip treatment lasts on your lips too, which is great because when you need a little color without the fuss of lipstick, this works as a great alternative.  On top of everything, there's sunscreen protection and they're extremely portable!  I'm so pleased at how so much power exists in this small yet large gift :)  Beauty and health all in one package, while meeting all my checkmark requirements. 

Kissable lips... that's all I gotta say :)

 

Let's Get Some Blues UP in HErE!!!!

The weather has been a bomb the past two days with rain and clouds. Definitely not late June weather at all.

Weather really sets up my mood and own sense of style. My basic thought process when it comes to picking out something to wear.... what's the weather? Is it raining?- then no white, is it hot?- then possible shorts or tank, Is it a formal/casual day? Will I be comfortable? Can the outfit transition from day to night if needed? Also, will I be taking public transportation?- related to the type of shoe and non-creeper-driven outfit choice.

Changes in weather, mood, and season all are factors each day. Granted, I'm not going to worry too much over it.

You really can't go wrong with the blues...

Above: Great summer time look. Layers can be worn and patterns don't make you look too busy or heavy. In combination with white clothes, you can also have an easier time picking out different accessories to change up your look from day to night.

Above: Another great casual look bringing dyed shirts and Jean button downs back in style. What's great about this look is how anyone can take these simple elements and make them your own. Think about the type of accessories you want to complete your look. For instance, large and bright neon accessories can make you look more retro, choosing metals and heavy accessories can make a hipster/punk look, or simple stylish accessories can make the look more sophisticated casual. Lastly, don't forget the hair. The type and style of hair completes the look!

Above: This look is a more themed approach. I love the colors and a great loungy Look for when you just want to relax. It's for the lazy days where someone pops on over unexpectedly and you say, "What? Oh really?? I didn't know you were coming and I had this on."

Above : If you want more elegant and summer, this is your look. It's a very feminine approach. Elegant and comfortable without being too fancy, this look can easily go from morning to night without doing much except possibly changing makeup and hair.

The last Bottom two are pretty much self explanatory. I couldn't leave out the hair and spikey lover's. I also had to put in the last one for those deep strict fashion editorial lovers.

Make Mee Up!!

I believe in beauty in all things.. yes.. corny.

However, this has led me to love one's facial canvas!!! No matter who you are, male or female, there is something lying there... something that can be brought out.. something under the surface. The weird thing is, like one of my professors had said in the past, "There's even beauty in the fact that it is truly ugly." Hahaha I will always remember that. So what was that ugly thing that he was referring to, you might ask??? My piece of art sculpture. Yup yup. So I thus have a perspective that may differ from some and may be loved by others.

I have been asked by family and friends to provide some consultation, try some makeup ideas on them, and even make them over by way of hair or face. Granted, I'm no professional, I don't think you have to be in order to try things out or even be good at it. Professionals have it great since they probably know more techniques, supplies, etc., but new eyes and inspiration always help too. I myself, truly despise wearing makeup. I do wear it when there's occasion or to cover up the lack of beauty sleep and toxic chemicals that I have built in my body of sugary sweets at times. I can't help it if I'm in close proximity to food... but that's another topic. Here's some of my inspiration and what I think works--

Above: I truly love the contrast among the lips, eyes and hair color. Great styling and photograph! This is a great summer look because the makeup doesn't look heavy at all, such a great quality. The look is lightweight yet rich at the same time!

Try A Frosty Look!

Above: I want to walk into a Christmas party like this. Yes, I do. It's on my to-do-list as we speak :P Frosty is a hard look. You really have to think about color AND texture, otherwise the look can go wrong. The only thing I would be afraid of, would be to walk into the X-mas party and have everyone stare at me because one of my lashes fell into the food :x Eek!

For those who are willing to stay neutral...

Anyone can wear a barely there look. But what makes this one great?? It's all in the dark eyeliner. Make sure you emphasize the blackness and the thickness to make your eyes pop. The shape of the liner is crucial in this case because it enhances the size and shape of your eyes. Pick the look you're looking for first!! Also, don't look dead. Even though you may want a clean and fresh faced look, give some life to your face. I've been in a very pink and corally mood these days :)

Y must you be SO BEAUTIFUL....

"The feeling I get when I look at you

The beauty they all portray,

I want to resemble these

When you find yourself looking at mee...."

Alright, so I didn't realize how many other people tried these looks as well.. But I can't stop loving these hues. I think it goes with so many people and compliments other colors really well. It's like floating in the ocean or seeing the crisp pool water that's just been cleaned. Haha, no.. it's like none of these things...

Mee-spirations

In the upcoming week, I have lots of things to look forward to..

The above image is an inspiration for a possible photoshoot collaboration with a great photographer and a makeup artist that I have not yet worked with. With the little free time that I have, I hope to be able to boost more shoots in high gear because I have been slacking. I hope to free up some more time in the upcoming month since it will be summery hot!

Love the color, style, and layout of this photoshoot. Great photography skills that I truly wish to embody in my own creations, style, and photographs! Someday maybe I can do this hair color, although I fear my skin tone is not exactly right for it :x

Gotta Mee it!!!! In other words... I have to try this look!!! I love the bright glitter and high pigmentation of the lips. I think this will provoke lots of conversation if I walked into the grocery stor like this. SMILE!
