NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: Denver Nuggets

Tweet

Hello gorgeous ladies! ;)

Today's look is for the Denver Nuggets, whose colors are powder blue, white, gold and navy. I was happy with the results because I did have some bumps along the way. I used MAC's Felt Blue eyeshadow thinking it would be perfect as the powder blue but after applying it over the navy blue shadow it wasn't as light as I wanted it to be. So I had to pack on a matte white eyeshadow over it to get the right color. Let me know what you think, I hope you all enjoy it. ;)

NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: New Orleans Hornets

Tweet

Hello my beautiful bloggeristas!

Today is the last day to enter my giveaway! Please enter if you haven't already done so. I'll be accepting entries until 11:59pm tonight! Thanks!

Today's look is for the New Orleans Hornets, who, fell short to the Lakers. Their colors are creole blue, dark purple, mardi gras gold, white and green. These colors were a little more of a challenge for me to blend because of where I chose to place the colors. I actually wanted to wipe it all off mid-way and start over but I pushed myself to make it work lol! But I think it came out okay. Let me know what you think. What are your favorite teams? ;)

NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: Miami Heat

Tweet

Hello my lovely ladies!

So it's on, my Celtics VS. Heat! So excited! Here is my look for the Miami Heat. Like my Celtics look, I opted not to use false lashes because I used an orange/coral liner on top of the black shadow. I made the liner by wetting my angled brush with MAC Fix+ and dipping it into Splash Cosmetics loose eyeshadow in Sunkiss Gold. Don't be afraid to experiment with the things you already have. I wasn't about to go and buy an orange liner just for this look, so I had to improvise. Remember that there are no limits when it comes to makeup so just experiment and have fun! :)

St. Patty's Day Makeup

Aloha everyone! Hope you all enjoyed St. Patty's Day! Here is a look I did using MAC & Wet N' Wild. Enjoy! ;)

Rasta Makeup

Alooooooooooooooha!

First of all, I would just like to apologize for the lack of updates, yet again. However, a big thank you to YOU for taking the time out of your day to visit my blog. I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year! ;)

Back in December, I was contacted by Stephanie from maximumlash.com to do a review on their product. Unforunately I had conjuctivitis for a while so I was steering clear of makeup. However, please stay tuned for my review on this product as I will be giving (4) weekly blog updates with a final YouTube video review. Thank you Stephanie!

Here is a fun look that I was able to do today. I was inspired the rasta colors, red, yellow, and green. I'm not wearing any foundation here, just concealer where needed and I also forgot to put on some blush! I know, how could I? lol. I hope you all enjoy this! ;)

    

Fab & Flashy Look & I'm Back on YouTube

Aloha! =) I've been slacking lately. But I hope you all are doing well! I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my followers and anyone who happens to stumble upon my little blog. So, "Thank You!" ;)

Out of boredom the other day, I came up with this look. I figured it was time to break in my Fab & Flashy eyeshadow. It was calling out to me saying, "Show me some love!" lol.

Drugstore Collective Haul + Recent Mini Haul

Here are some things I've hauled over the past few weeks or so. A lot of these things I purchased due to awesome reviews on several blogs and youtube channels. Also, most of these items were on sale and that is definitely the best way to go. Drugstore brands are, for the most part, affordable as is, but to snag items that are at an extra percentage off or BOGO is even better.

One of the things I was really excited to try was the new Wet N' Wild products. They have come out with new matte lipsticks, single eyeshadows, eyeshadow palettes, along with some new formulated mascaras. All of which are great bargains. I am not too sure that they are out in CVS yet (or Longs, here in Hawaii) but I got mine from Walgreens.  From what I have seen, the new color icon palettes have several MAC dupes which was of course why I wanted to try them out so bad! :D I have used #249 palette in 'Vanity' a few times last week and I must say that I am impressed. The pigmentation is great and the eyeshadows are very buttery soft and easy to blend. I have tried WNW's single eyeshadows in the little pots before and they were great as well, very velvety smooth. I only decided to try one of the new matte lipsticks in #902 'Bare It All'. Wasn't too satisfied with that one as I found it is quite drying on the lips, but nothing a little gloss can't fix. You can be sure to check out an upcoming review on these new WNW products. :)
