Pastel Spring Look

So Spring is finally starting to peek it's way out to the DC metro area and it has got me super excited!  Although, they are calling for a possibility of snow this weekend...Boo!

But Easter is almost here and whenever I think of easter, I think of Pastels.  Here is a fun and pretty easy look for this spring using pastel like colors.

P.S. be on the look out beginning of next week for the giveaway information!

xoxo!

St. Patricks Day

St. Patty's day is suppose to be a religious holiday, and to some it still is, for others it is a time to relax party and find cute ideas to dress yourself up.  Heck, even in Chicago the river is dyed green to celebrate this festive occasion.  For me, whelp, it is another day to get creative with makeup colors I probably wouldn't wear any other time.  I love green and think it is a beautiful color, but it is hard to wear on a daily basis.

So, I decided to do a simple look that is easy for this occasion.  The video is below! 
Eyes

Kush - Urban Decay
Meteor Shower - Sephora
Money - Urban Decay
Uzi - Urban Decay
Algae - Hard Candy

Black Liquid eyeliner from Revlon
Smoulder Pencil Kohl liner from MAC
Benefit BadGal Lash in Black

I dusted a light peach to my cheeks and gave my lips a touch of nude.

Green Beers & Gold Coins!

Hail to the Redskins!

Hail Victory!! Okay Okay, so we all know that football season is over, and that the Redskins totally blew this season.  Clinton Portis was let go and there is a chance for a lockout in the coming days.  But, they are still my team and it gave me a chance to explore with some colors that I probably wouldn't ever use.  For my cheeks I justed used a burgendy with gold undertones and on my lips is my new favorite lipstick CoverGirls, LipPerfection in Temptress!

Here is how to do the eyes!

V-Day, Not Your Normal Look!

Valentines is a day to cherish and honor the love in your life.  In my opinion, it is too commercialize for me and I much rather be curled up on my couch watching a movie with my husband and kids then go out in the craziness of restaurants and stores.  I remember when I used to think V-Day was everything!  I use to get so sad when I didn't have anyone to spend it with! HAHAHA! Now I sing a different tune!

That said, a lot of makeup looks are done with pinks & reds for this holiday.  I on the other hand wanted to give you guys something different to try out.  Whether you are going out or staying in, try this look on for size.  It is definitely my husbands favorite thus far!

Here is the information:
