Kat Von D Saint & Sinner- Random Color Challenge Round 3

You guys asked for round three of the Random Color Challenge video and here it is! This is the last challenge video featuring Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Eyeshadow Palette (at least for now because I really want to move on to another palette). I don't think I've had this much fun filming a video series before, but there's just something so exciting about not knowing what colors you're going to be working with. This time around I chose the colors by closing my eyes and sticking little stickers on them. This proved to be much challenging than I thought because my nails kept stabbing the eyeshadows and they're not even that long. I also decided to throw myself a curveball and pick six colors as opposed to five like I've done in the past.

Drivers License Makeup Tutorial

It was about time that I finally changed my drivers license photo! I kid you not but I have looked Donald Trump orange in my drivers license for the past 10 years. I know some of you are not going to believe me but I did used to rock the orange glow once upon a time thanks to my obsession with the NYC Sunny Bronzer (shout out to anyone who remembers that bronzer). So thanks to the orange glow, whenever I used to show my license to people they would always have to do a double take because I look about five shades paler now. In this post I'm going to show you an all-matte look that will photograph well even with the shitty DMV cameras.

Playing With New Makeup | Milk Makeup, ColourPop, Anastasia Beverly Hills

It's not often when I treat myself to a lot of new makeup but let's just say that I was feeling extra spendy in July. There were a slew of exciting makeup releases last month that I just needed to get my hands on, the most exciting being the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette. Yes, the controversial palette that people either love or really hate. When I first saw pictures of the palette I started freaking out (I'm not even joking). The color palette really spoke to me, plus I was just happy to not see another warm tone eyeshadow palette since that was pretty much all that was being released this summer. Apart from the palette I also got my hands on some of Milk Makeup's latest releases.

Very Chatty Makeup Tutorial

I've never been someone to shy away from being honest, although I do tend to be quite a private person. I know I haven't gone into much detail about how I've felt and how I've been doing after my break-up, so I have decided to talk about it a bit more in this video. I also wanted to discuss what I've been doing lately in order to work on bettering myself both physically and mentally. I still have a long way to go before I start feeling more like myself, but I'm quite happy with the progress so far.

Purple and Orange Smokey Eye

This year will be the year that I'll start being a little more daring with my makeup. I don't longer want to be intimidated by colorful eyeshadows, metallic finishes, and things that are considered a bit "out there." I want to play with bright shades, dark colors, and try different makeup techniques. One of those techniques that I wanted to try out is the halo eye. This isn't anything new or particularly groundbreaking, but it is much different to what I usually do with eyeshadow. The beauty about the halo eye is that you can use any eyeshadow combination that you want! I've tried a more subdued version with browns and a metallic gold eyeshadow and the look still came out beautiful. Hopefully this colorful look will inspire some of you to give the halo eye a try.

Drugstore Holiday Makeup

Holiday Makeup Week continues with this very dramatic smokey that's perfect for any holiday party or New Year's Eve. If you follow me on Instagram, then this look will probably look pretty familiar to you. A few months ago I drove up to Los Angeles to take a class with L'Oréal and we learned how to recreate this smokey eye that Jennifer Lopez wore to a red carpet event. I know, I know... I'm the last person you would think to recreate J.Lo's makeup look, that's why I had to change a few things this time around. I decided to make this look much more grungy by smudging more eyeshadow in the lower lash line and by changing the lip color completely. The result is a hazy smokey eye with glitters that will look equal parts festive and edgy.

The Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday Haul

Your girl got a bit carried away last week with all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. What can I say? I love saving money on things that I would buy regardless. And the cool thing about this shopping trip is that a few of the places I ordered from were donating a portion of the sales to several worthy causes, which is a win-win situation. In this haul you're going to see a little bit of everything from a toothbrush, to some very fancy shoes that I've been wanting for years. I also got some more derpy pins to add to my very random collection, so if you're on the market for new pins then you might enjoy the three companies that I'll be sharing with you. And like always, it couldn't be a Laura Neuzeth haul without sharing some new makeup products.

Milk Makeup Holographic Stick Tutorial

The Milk Makeup Holographic Stick in Supernova is easily one of my favorite makeup launches this year. You may remember my review on the Holographic Stick that I posted a few months ago, but today I'm going to be showing you a very simple tutorial incorporating the iridescent lavender highlight that I've been loving so damn much. I honestly never thought that I would go for a more funky highlight, but the Holographic Stick is surprisingly very wearable! You can use it to highlight your face, as an eyeshadow, and you can even apply a little on your lips to give them an icy look. Apart from using the Holographic Stick, I'm also going to be using a few new Milk Makeup products in this video.

August 2016 Favorites

August was definitely a much better month for me than July. It seems like things are finally falling into place and there's some exciting ventures ahead. There was even some very exciting beauty discoveries this past month! I found my new go-to acne treatments that don't dry out my oily skin, some products that combine my love for nerdy things and makeup, and I even found the most comfortable nude lip combo. August was a pretty easy breezy month for me, which I honestly needed that after experiencing one of the most frustrating summers. And now that August is over, I can start counting down for fall! I just want cooler weather, dark lip colors, and fall clothing.

Smoked Out Purple Lower Lash Line

After posting my Top 5 Lip Balms video I got so many requests to make a tutorial on this particular makeup look. The requests even came pouring in on Snapchat and Instagram, so I sat down and recorded this simple look incorporating a bright pop of color. I know, it's the most cliché way to describe a makeup look but it's literally what it is in this case. If you're normally a bit scared to wear a bright color, then this is the perfect way to ease your way into more colorful looks. And if you're not a fan of purple, then you can apply this technique to literally any other color. You can switch up the color to blue, green, olive, maroon... I think you get the point. The best thing is that this makeup is super quick to do but it looks like it took a lot more effort.

MAC Star Trek Tutorial | Deanna Troi Inspired

A lot of you really loved the makeup that I wore when I reviewed the MAC Star Trek collection, so I decided to recreate this look for you guys. This particular look was inspired by the glamorous Deanna Troi of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Deanna Troi is one of four female characters that inspired the upcoming MAC Star Trek collection and I personally happen to love her makeup the best. She honestly looked like a Greek goddess in space, she was such a stunning character. Deanna Troi was known for her big curls (which I'm very jealous of), her sultry smokey eyes, and a subtle rosy pout. My makeup look is more of a modern take on what Deanna Troi wore and I added more drama to the eyes by using those bold lashes from the MAC Star Trek collection.

5 Products for Lazy Girls

Let's me be honest with you, as much as I love makeup sometimes even the biggest makeup addict can get really lazy. And I always get lazy with makeup during the summertime because I just don't want to deal with a 30+ minute routine and have all my makeup just melt off. You know what I mean? Do you? Well for those of you who know what I'm talking about, I've rounded up 5 of my favorite products for all you lazy girls out there. These are quick products that don't require much maintenance or knowledge about how to "snatch" or "beat" your face (whatever that may mean). As a wise woman once said, "ain't nobody got time for that!"

Top 5 ColourPop Super Shock Shadows

Ever since I placed my first ColourPop order over a year ago, I've been hooked on their very affordable Super Shock Shadows. If you've never tried the Super Shock Shadow formula, then you're going to be in for a real treat. These are not your standard powder eyeshadows with messy fall out, and they're also not your standard cream eyeshadow that will dry out quickly. The Super Shock Shadows have a long wearing crème powder formula which applies very pigmented and smoothly on the eyes. These shadows come in a plethora of shades and finishes, so I thought it would be a great idea to share five of my favorite shades in this post. It was very hard to narrow it down to just five shades, but I think there will be something for everyone.

Get Ready With Me: My Brother's Graduation

Last week my younger brother graduated from university, so you can just imagine how excited all of my family was. We literally spent all of last week getting things ready for his graduation party, and let me tell you things were a little crazy at home. We were putting lights on the palm trees, preparing Mexican food, and of course there's was a lot of tidying up to do. At the end of the day, all of our hard work paid off and my brother enjoyed his graduation to the fullest. This reminds me, how has it been 3 years since I graduated?? Time sure flies by after you graduate from university!

Lip Liners for Spring

Once upon a time I was not a fan of lip liners, in fact I thought they were a complete waste of time. Well things have certainly changed quite a lot since then and now I have a pretty decent sized lip liner collection. You don't even want to know how many browny nudes lip liners I have, because it's honestly a bit embarrassing at this point. Since I've developed quite a love affair with lip liners as of late, I've decided to dedicate a full post to five of my favorite lip liners for spring. And yes, the browny nudes colors will be making an appearance in this post.

Subtle Blue Eyeliner

I think by now I should just rebrand myself as the "minimal makeup YouTuber" because all the looks I wear are very easy and don't require many products. A few weeks ago when I uploaded my Messy Hair Tutorial a lot of you requested I film this makeup look, and so I did. Bright cobalt blue eyeliner is one of the biggest makeup trends for spring/summer 2016, but it can be an intimidating color if you're not used to bright makeup. This is a subtle version of the trend that will work incredible with brown eyes, but honestly any person can rock this look. All you need is an eyeshadow stick and a blue eyeliner to achieve this easy eye look.

Natural Strobing

I don't what has gotten into me lately but this oily skin gal has been embracing dewy skin. It all started when I got the stunning Sleek Makeup Highlighting Palette in Precious Metals in my life. The palette includes three cream highlight shades and one powder highlight, all the shades give your skin a natural and luminous glow. If you've been wanting to try out the strobing technique but found a lot of the tutorials too dramatic for everyday life, then maybe you'll enjoy this subtle take on the trend.

March 2016 Favorites

I refuse to believe that March is now over! I still remember how excited I was to attend #WeAllGrow Summit earlier in the month, then in a blink of an eye the month ended and now we're suddenly in April. This last month was an incredible month for high-end and budget friendly beauty discoveries, definitely much better than February that's for sure. My top beauty finds in March ended up in this latest favorites video and you'll definitely be seeing the ones that didn't make it in next month's video. There's been an incredible amount of amazing beauty products launching as of late, way too many for one favorites video.
