Merry Late Christmasssss!!!!!

Tis' the season to be jolly..

in honor of christmas time im gonna go over some make up styles you can do for christmas, prior to christmas, or even new year. i had troubles figuring out last night what type of make up do you wear for christmas? not too dark, but not too light, i figured out that you can do a crisp snowy color..meaning you can add nice shine to your cheekbones with a rosey blush. i got a Too Faced palette as a gift the other day and its great for xmas make up.By acheiving a light yet smokey christmas look i used the top left color called "milk chocolate" and i did the corners of the eyes with the bottom left shadow which is called "dirty bag" and to top it off i used the rosey blush along with the mirror mirror gloss. btw the two faced palette is about $39.50.

if you wanna go totally deckeddd out in xmas colors watch Miss Chevious's tutorial either the holiday greens tutorial or you can watch the fall inspired look:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6otR3hwyzM <---Holiday Green

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb2YygQZMSA <----Fall Inspired

other colors you can mix up for the holiday looks are mostly cranberries, forest greens, browns, coppers, golds, and you can also use Retrospeck from M.A.C. which will give you a great frosted look.

now that the make up is down, and you know what you are going to apply on your eyes, its crucial that you prep your face before applying foundation. wash your face with philosphy...literally: ($78)

Since the set is pricey, you can buy the purity by itself for about $10. after washing your face make sure you apply some moisturizer and then apply primer to your face (M.A.C. primer or smashbox photo finish)

hope you guys have a happy holidays!!

Zodiac:Scorpio to Pisces

I left off last week with libra. so this week im going to go ahead and finish up the rest of the zodiac signs with scropio to pisces.

Scorpio
-Scorpios are determined,intuitive, passionate and magnetic. The sign scorpio just screams out red and black or red and gold..i know weird, anyways scorpios just remind me of and arabic/egyptian make up style. that being said the best red to use would be the Sephora brand Rouge Cream Lipstick ($12) with the sephora smokey eyeshadow pallette ($50). if you want to go for a more subtle look try using red lid liner and apply gold eyeline on your bottom lashes and apply nude lipstick.

Sagittarius
- Saggitarians are optimistic, jovial, good humerod and honest. peaches, light oranges, and shimmery yellows remind me of saggitarians. the lucky tom quad. from M.A.C. is perfect for saggitarians if not that, you can replace the it with Nars Duo cream eyeshadow, it doesnt have any oranges, or peaches but it consists of a lightt shimmery yellows, nudes and champagne. it would go perfect with just a simple nude gloss.

Capricorn

- Capricorns are ambitious,patient, careful, and also reserved. capricorns remind me of a old pin up look. for example a bobby brown cream lid liner extended out, almost catlike, with rosey cheeks, and a pinkish almost red gloss. Try using Tarte Cheek Stain ($30) for your cheeks and before applying your lid liner apply M.A.C. Painterly.

Aquarius

- Aquariuses are humanitarian, friendly, honest, loyal and original. They remind me of the color aqua, hence the name aquarius. the colors would be either a white beige for a base with light blue corners or for a night time look it would be a white or silver 1/4 of the lid, aqua mid, and then the last part of the lid would be either a black or a dark blue. the urban decay shadow box has all the colors you need to achieve a "aquatic" look ($38) if you dont want to use a white or black.

Pisces
- Pisces are sensitive, imaginitave, compassionate, kind , and are known as escapists. Since the pisces sign is a fish, the color remind me of a shimmery pea green mixed with gold and black. almost the color of snake skin. the Two Faced- Label Whore eyeshadow ($16) which is like a metallic brown blue iridescent ( it basically looks like pea green mixed with gold except you have to add the black corners =] ) singles are great.

Thats it for the colors of the zodiac I hoped you guy liked it!!!

Zodiac: Aries Through Libra

I think that every zodiac sign should have a certain set of colors...and you guys can wear the look "represent" your sign lol. anyway here are the color that each zodiac reminds me of and the eyeshadows you can use to achieve the look.

Aries

- Aries are usually outgoing,dynamic, adventurous, and daredevils . the sign reminds me of smokey blues its intense but it can be wearable. the eyeshadows you can use to achieve the intense blue look is the "Kat Von D True Romance Palatte- Metal Orchestra ($34)." the look would go great with the M.A.C. Hello Kitty lip gloss -Fast Friends since its not sold anymore you can purchase it online for $19 or $25 depending. (BELOW IS THE FAST FRIENDS LIPGLOSS)

Taurus

-Taurus are warmhearted, determined, and reliable. The sign just reminds me of browns and nudes. that being said the colors can be worn smokey or just neutral natural. Two amazing eyeshadow sets for browns are Two Faced Natural eye Neutral eyeshadow collection ($34) and Bare Essentials get started eyes ($49).

Gemini

-Gemini's are versatile, lively, eloquent and communicative. Frosty colors are what comes to mind when i think of Geminis, i just think of a nice clean look. i recommend you to use M.A.C.'s Luna frost which is a highlighter and you can use it for your cheekbones, bridge of nose, and under eyebrows. i dont really think of any eyeshadows that would go, place the highlighter at the inner corners of your eyes and then sweep on black eyeliner along with "Two Face Lip of Luxury Lipstick ($18)" or if you like gloss "Two Faced Girl Dig Pearls ($18)."

Cancer

- Cancers are Imaginative, Loving, Shrewd, and Emotional. Orangish Yellows stick out to me with dark brown smoky corners. you can achieve the look by using "B**Ch Slap Cosmetics- Crazy B**Ch " http://bitchslap-cosmetics.com/ .

Leo

-Leos are Generous, creative, enthusiastic and expansive. that being said leos remind me of the color gold. so a great gloss would be "Guerlain Terracotta Gloss and shine ($28). and eyeshadow would obviously be a good gold color such as M.A.C. -Copper or Laura Geller Sugared Baked Pearl Eyeshadow ($23).

Virgo

-Virgos are modest,shy, meticulous, and analytical. They scream the color green. not too many can pull of the green look so be careful ,you want people to be able to tell you apart from a leaf or a frog. dont pack it on.and if you do mix it with dark green and black or light green with darker corners. YSL 5 colour set - Garden of Eden ($56). this would look great with Nars Nectar lip gloss ($24) .

Libra

- Libras are romantic, diplomatic, charming, and easygoing. they remind me of different color purples. The Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow - Night Butterfly 173 ($56) would be great along with a light gloss such as the fast friends. it will give you a ultraviolet look.

Mascara

Mascara is a big issue for alot of people. they either have the trouble of clumped lashes, or the mascara dries out to quickly or doesnt give your lashes the volume that you actually want.
here are 3 mascara's I recommend;

Givenchy Phenomen eyes Mascara-

This mascara really is amazing, by itself it costs about$28 at sephora, but since its the holiday season if you go now they give you the Givenchy mascara and a Givenchy Lip Gloss for $28 whereas the gloss by itself is $24. the mascara wand is an unusual shape and it might take some people long to apply but if you get the hang of it, your lashes will look curled and seperated.

Chanel Inimitable-

This mascara is about $27 to $30 depending on where you get it. you can either order on their website http://www.CHANEL.com/ or go to Nordstrom. The mascara isnt great for dramatic looks but it is good if you want to go for a natural look. the mascara definitely doesnt clump your lashes instead it plumps them.

Loreal Voluminous Mascara-

This mascara is about $10 at any drugstore, (CVS, Walgreens) it is certainly the cheapest of all and it works amazing. it absolutely does not clump your lashes and it makes them look long, thick and really voluminous and plump. i really recommend this product for those of you who cant afford to spend $30 on just mascara.

Quick Tip: When applying mascara, make sure you choose one thats right for you, you can get the Sephora Favorites LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler for $39. After picking the one thats good for you. Choose the color that best suits you. different colored eyes go for different color mascara in order to accentuate your eyes. before you application curl your lashes. when apply be cautious of how you pull your wand, because you will be prone to clumping if you dont do it correctly, make sure the edge of your brush and the wand are clean. and finally apply to upperlashes by placing the wand under your lashes and comb thru in a zigzag motion and than place it above your lashes and do the same.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Happpy thanksgiving!!! so in honor of thanksgiving i decided to go over colors you can wear on thanksgiving or whenever. but its mostly for thanksgiving. When i think of thanksgiving i think of browns, oranges, and maroons. so clothing wise i dont recommend anybody wearing those colors all together because you will look ridiculous but for eyeshadows it wud be perfect.

you can buy alot of cheap make up now, especially since its holiday season and everything goes on sale. so anything you need i suggest you go buy all the expensive things that went on sale. for example, sephora and macys are having really good sales on things like eyeshadows, perfumes and even make up sets.

when wearing "holiday" make up try using a smokey brown so that your eyes can look sultry and do lid liner to draw attention to your eyes. if you dont like using smokey brown watch this tutorial by miss chevious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFnIDWNqx-M

when it comes to polishes try to stay away from the generic colors like black, red , or orange.. becuz it seems like everybody gets those ugly colors when fall season comes along. if you like black alot try doing a brown polish with brown tips.. since two different color french is the new "in" thing.

before going to buy your fall make up tho you shud know wat type of make up to get. make sure you read the labels. labels arent only for food. they are for make up too so make sure you buy oil free foundation if you have oily skin anddd dont eat greasy or fried foods becuz that can have a factor as well. so for organic make ups. u can jus throw away mac and clinque becuz they are far frm organic.. i doubt bare minerals is even purely organic. but that wud be the best thing to buy if you want to go natural.

B4i go:

what to put in your fall make up bag

- the new urban decay set of every color eyeliner ($32)

-opi brown polish

- nude lipstick

- lorac multi-platinum pallette

-dior - silver dust

-Chanel Les 4 Ombre eyeshadow ($53)

Black friday
so black friday is this frieday to and make sure u go to the GOOOD stores is in nordstrom and steve madden ..as i stated b4 u will get lucky and buy a 200 dollar pair of boots for prolly 120 or less. is amazingggg..

i hope you guys have a happy thanksgiving and i hope these quick tips helped =]

Hair Treatment

Whether you have thick hair, straight hair, wavy or even curly hair u need to take care of it. but how can you with all these products around. you dont even know which one to buy theres things like hair smoother for all hair types or heat protection that makes your hair smoother how would we know which one is better or which one to get.

Hair Silk-
- The main problem with hair silk is people add either too little or too much. For instance if someone were to buy biosilk($18), chi ($15) or garnier ($11) they would need to put a dime size drop of the hair oil only enough to add shine not to add grease. dont get carried away!

Making Your Hair Smell Goood-
- KK so we all know that its hot to have good smellling hair and plus its just clean. so if you want to have extra good aroma thenn get some perfume based lotion and after you get outta the shower rub the lotion btwn ur hands and apply it to ur damp hair make sure u apply from roots to the ends. and dont over do the lotion cuz ur hair will look wayyy too greasy and u dont want that.

Split Ends-
-ok so split ends can have a correlation with the brushes u use. for ur hairs sake dont use sharp bristle brushes use brushes with rounded bristles. another thing that affects ur split ends is hot appliances..try to minimize ur flat iron use and instead of blow drying ur hair let it air dry.

Dry Hair-
so as i said b4 if u dooo have extremely dry hair use hair oil..becuz dry hair leads to dry scalp and dry scalp leads to dandruff. make sure u wash your hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and u might want to apply leave in conditioner after words. and also wen u do apply shampoo or conditioner make sure to rub it in ur hands b4 applying on ur hair cuz if u put a big glob of shampoo on the top of ur head that will make the ur hair look flatt in that area.

EYES!

Are you having trouble with the whole dark circles, puffiness, or you wanna no more info on how to get permanent eye make up .. There are also ways you can look excellentayyyyyyy without a a make up artist.


Dark Circles-
so first off, dark circles are a major painnnnnnnnn ..everybody either thinks you havent slept for a week or they think you are on some sort of drug. but we all no thats not the case for many of u..most people are born with dark circles but other reasons are either lack of sleep. to hide dark circles the key is to use a really good concealer such as make up forever it might be pricey but it does the job good. theres more extreme things like bleaching the skin but thats a waste. the best possible solution is to wash your face regulary with cool water. Beloq is an extreme case of Dark Circles showing where it usually is around (pik exaggerated)


Puffiness-
Puffy eyes...well this usually happens, either from allergies, after waking up, or if you cried. to reduce the puffiness try garnier which has a rollerball and as u apply a cool gel goes under ur eyes causing the swelling to decrease.. if you want to hide with make up then add eyeliner on the top lid only and apply mascara on the top lid only and then apply loose powder under ur eyes.


Eye Color Change
so theres obviously no make up trick to make your eye color appear different other than weat contancts. but for people who want a color change forever thay can visit a panamanian doctor or find a opthalmologist who changes eye color. the procedure is about 10 minutes long and there are some problems that can occur during the laser surgery such as infections.


Insight On Permanent makeup
-permanent eye make up or in other words eye tattoos is extremely expensive and painful and dsnt even last 10 yrs. this process can be really risky it can cause allergies to the pigments, peeling, cracking, scars and keloids .

Tricks: Body

So not alot of people know "body" trix. for example when you work out, as weird as it sounds, you should wear a black trashbag under your sweater to make you sweat more, orrr use siran rap and rap it around multiple times around ur abdomin b4 u work out.

Healthy Glow
- In order to get a healthy glow you must treat your body right, you need to excercise and eat well. in order to have a healthy glow you must be healthy from the getgo. getting a healthy glow doesnt involve make up all it involves is you eating healthy and taking care of yourself, and also having a positive attitude.

Look Tall-

- if your pretty short and you want to acheive the tall look it is all based off the shoes you choose. dont get shoes that make you look like your about to go to a night club try heel sandals or wedges, dont go buying platform shoes, the key is that you can walk around in them. if you want to acheive the longer leg look you should pair high heels with above the knee skirts it will give the allusion that you are somewhat tall.( Warning: Stay away from heels, like the picture below)

Body Cream-

- have you ever noticed that body cream is more expensive than body lotion? thats because body lotion is a heavy duty moisturizer whereas lotion is sort of temporary and just a light moisturizer.

Body Soap-

-body soaps come in all different shapes, sizes , scents and colors. you have to use the soap that fits well with your skin. Bar soaps clog pores so when removing make up you should used liquid. other than that your options of soaps vary from antibacterial, medicated, scrub, or mosturizing, get one thats right for your skin. antibacterial kill bacteria, medicated is for chicken pox or eczema , the scrub is for exfoliation and moisturizing is for .....moisturizing!

Where to Buy Products-
-You can go to any drugstore to get your soaps and lotions but the better the name brand the better the product. stay away from perfume based lotions because they will do the opposite of moisturize. you can visit "The Body Shop" or "Bath and Body Works" but my number one store for lotions and soaps is "Lush" you can visit their online website http://www.lush.com/. there products are not too expensive and they work very well.

Face

whether its blackheads, overly blushing, or oily skin, everyone has problems with there facial area, its a common probably mostly amongst teens. listed below are a couple of tips and tricks that can kick your worries out the window.

How to stop blushing
-Everyone has gotten embarrassed b4 but unfortunately instead of having the option to go hide under a rock, u have to deal with the rush of blush flowing to your cheeks. the actual key to stop urself from blushing does not even involve a make up technique, all u need to do is relax and keep yourself in a calm state of mind, ( its easier said than done) even though you might end up in a embarassing situation, take a deep breath and accept it. if you take control on how you react to situations then that will minimize your blushing.

BlackHeads
- Blackheads mostly occur when clogging occurs in when dead skin cells stop the flow of oil in your skin freely and it interacts with the air..( which causes it to be "black") . The best thing to do with black heads is to cleanse your face regularly. do not use too much of the alcohol substances because that opens up your pores and causes more pores to enter, so use it once a week. when you put make up on try to use mineral make up and less oily because that can cause blockage in your poors. do not wash your face with a bar of soap because soap holds its shape and it will not wash off and it will add to the blockage of your pores, use a liquid soap or a gentle liquid cleanser.


Blemishes
-Blemishes are a drag, especially when you get it the day of prom or even worse your wedding! the best way to cover up blemishes are covering it up with concealer that is about two shades darker than your skin color, dont add too much concealer. you do not want people to think you grew a dark mole overnight. unfortunately some blemishes are dry so when you add concealer it just highlights the dryness. the best thing you can actually do is use gel ( such as " Murad- Post acne spot lightening gel") sometimes concealer can do the opposite and highlight the blemish and show the redness. so its your judgment call.

EyeLiner

Eyeliner is a pretty tricky thing to grasp. people either apply the liner either too high above their lash line or they apply it with a unsteady hand which makes it look like you have a ocean wave on your eyelid. before you even apply the eye liner, you have to buy one thats good for your eyes, either liquid line or gel liner. if your new you should start with a creamy eyeliner pencil. it takes much practice to achieve the lid liner look but when you get the hang of it, its a piece of pie =]

Favorite Liners

M.A.C. - BlackTrak Fluid Line

M.A.C- Liquid Liner Boot Black

Bobbi Brown- Long Wear Gel Liner

Mark. - On The Edge Hook Up

These brands are extremlyy amazing but dont forget that if you end up buying a gel liner make sure you buy a brush along w/ it.

Teased Hair

So many people try to achieve the "teased hair" look and it is getting extremly played out. I dont know how people have time to tease their hair at 6 am, but anyways if you do end up teasing your hair make sure u do it the right way, and dont be like Tracy Turnblad from the movie Hairspray give your hair a modern twist instead of just a big poof in the back of your head.



Basic Poof-

In order to achieve a teased ponytail or any other type of teased hair you need to learn how to tease your hair in the first place. You need a rat tail comb and the ability to block out pain because at times teasing hurts your scalp! x) P.S. now when I say tease your hair in a basic manner, i dnt want you to go crazy and make your hair look like the womens below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sP05G2DbMo

Teased Ponytail/ Fauxhawk/ Pompadour-
The teased ponytail will give you the "rocker" look . You will need a barrell brush (which you can purchase at wal-mart), hairspray or Mousse, and you will need clear rubberbands and bobbypins. if you want to achieve this look watch this tutorial posted below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmynRJPl3Q4

Face Masks

You will need the following; Strawberrys, honey, and plain yogurt.
This mask purifies your face and smoothes out any bumps. First you need to mash up all the strawberrys ( about 4) and then add about 1 teaspoon honey and 2 teaspoons yogurt and mix it all together. Once your done apply it onto your face in a circlular motion (avoid the eye area) leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes or until you look like you have dried fruit on your face =]


Milk of Magnesia
buy milk of magnesia from any drugstore. and apply it onto your face with a cottonboll and leave it on until the milk of magnesia is dry on your face. Then rinse your face and apply your make-up. This prevents you from sweating and your foundation from looking greasy later in the day ( make sure you dont apply lotion after the milk of magnesia)

Aspirin
Buy noncoated aspirin and use about 3 pills and crush it up in your palm by adding very little water ( you want it to be paste-y) then take the paste and rub in on your face and make sure you avoid the eye area. then when your done rinse your face with luke warm water, you dont have to leave this "mask" on your face. and this method cleans the dead skin off your face.

Tip: if you want to have soft hands/feet take vaseline and mix it with sugar and rub it on your hands and then rinse it off with water until there is no more sugar left on your hand, and you will have extremly soft hands =]

Plump Lips

Are you suffering from thin lips? Well your worrys are gone! This tip will give your lips the illusion that its big, but if this tip doesn't quite satisfy you, then go get collagen =] Anyways the things you will need is a lipliner (hat is a little bit darker than your skin color), lip plumper, and a white shimmery eyeshadow if you dont have a light glittery lipstick andchapstick. You can buy all these things at the drugstore, the best lip plumper thats inexpensive and works real good is buy Sally Hansen.

<--Sally Hansen Lip Plumper

so before you start the process of plumping, put on some of your chapstick and take your toothbrush and brush your lips ( as weird as that may be)

EyeLashes

Before writing this blog, when you wear mascara it has nothing to do with the brand name, i have bought many mascara that were pricey and the ones at drugstores work better. My fav. drugstore mascaras are, Maybelline- Define A Lash, Loreal- Voluminous, Covergirl- Lash Blast Luxe. Those products work extremly good! Anyways, the key to long lashes good mascara and once you have that you have to know how to apply it. Applying an excessive amount of mascara makes your lashes look clumped ,in other words "tarantula lashes." When you apply mascara start at the root and apply it with a zig-zag motion and then take your mascara and apply to the topside of your lashes, (swoope it up) this will give it a slight curl. The picture below is an example of how much mascara should be appliedm remember dont over do it. Quick Tip: If your lashes do end up being clumpy use a toothpick to seperate the clumped lashes.

CONTOURING: NOSE

So My blog entrys are basically going to be all about beauty tips, myths, tricks etc.. today im goin to tell you how you can make your nose look straight if you have a big nose =]. You need to get the following : MAC 217 brush and a powder blush such as MAC powder blush in Blunt.

Even though the 217 is not for contouring purposes I like to use that brush anyway because it blends out better. So after you apply your foundation you take your 217 brush and you dab it into your blush powder and you make a thin line from the top side of your nose ( almost to your brow) and draw a thin line down and blend it out so it wont be too dark . The line should be no thicker than your pinky or else it will look like you have dirt on the sides of your nose. When your done take a eyeshadow thats close your skin color and brush it down the middle and blend. The picture below shows you where you should make your two dark contour lines and your one light line through the middle. ( make sure you dont copy the picture. the picture is just to show you where the lines go. (AND DONT PAY ATTENTION THE THE DARK PART ON THE CHIN) P.S. by doing this it will give the illusion that your nose is straight from the front angle
