Get Ready with Me: Outside Lands Music Festival

Although I'm mentally getting ready for the Kaaboo music festival in San Diego, I wanted to share with you this look I wore to Outside Lands last month. I recorded this little Get Ready with Me on the third and last day of Outside Lands. While the look itself isn't anything crazy, I did decide to add some metallic tattoos to jazz things up. Plus, I think a touch of gold was more than appropriate considering Elton John was the headliner that night. I totally missed my opportunity to rock a 90's Elton John concert shirt though! Ugh, I'll have to remember to dig through my collection of concert t-shirts next time.

Everyday Makeup Tutorial

I was getting requested to do a natural everyday look recently, so I decided to film another chatty tutorial walking you through what I normally do! On most days I just want to even out my skin, add a sheer wash of color on the lids, and then finish the look up with a bright lip. I didn't use a ton of product on my skin, but I did want to do a dark bold lip on this occasion. The lip color can be easily substituted for a nude lip or sheer gloss based on your preference. I also have to mention that this tutorial is a very quick one, if I wasn't filming this video I would be able to do everything in about 10 minutes which isn't too shabby.

Neutral Valentine's Day Look

Valentine's Day makeup usually feature red lips and rosy cheeks but this is no ordinary Valentine's Day look. As you may know I've been a fan of neutrals for a while, but recently my love for neutrals has reached an all-time high. You may recognize this makeup look if you follow me on Instagram because it was the same look that I wore on Christmas Eve. For me this is a perfect look for any occasion because you can wear anything without having to ask yourself "will this go with my outfit?" This makeup tutorial is in collaboration with Betzy of the channel Betzy Carmona so if you want to see a more sultry look for Valentine's Day just go ahead and watch her incredible tutorial. Now let's take out all the neutral makeup from your collection and let's get started.

December 2014 Favorites

I know I'm late to the monthly favorites party but better late than never. In December there were many face products rediscoveries, including a powder that I had completely forgotten about for a few months but is still a YouTube cult favorite. I also discovered a few amazing drugstore products that recently hit the shelf across the country. *Pssst those products are also going to be part of a brand new video series* And last but not least, I finally discovered the perfect long-wearing, opaque, and matte lip product. If you're interested in finding out a bit more about my most-used products of December just watch the video below.

Makeup for Work

I've been extremely busy at work the past few weeks and I honestly haven't had much time to play around with makeup. Last week the place I work at opened their second location. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're talking about a small business a second location is a huge deal. I've been taking a lot more shifts and responsibilities which has in turn slowed down my blog and YouTube just a bit. Since I've been busy I decided to film a quick tutorial right before I left to work on Tuesday. This tutorial is great for any working woman, student, or busy mom.
