Extraordinary

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a GREAT new year! I can't believe it's 2011 already. Here's my first look of the new year! It's full of color, and excitment!!






The first step too keep your eyes shadows on all night long, starts with a great primer. The primer I used for this look was Eden, by Urban Decay. To bring out the colors used I used NYX's Milk, to give them that pop!The numbered eye shadows are all the colors I used for the look. This palette is the Coastal Scents 36 Smokey Eyes.For the liner I used my favorite eyeliner. Urban Decay's "Zero"& my current favorite mascera, Benefit's "Bad Gal Lash."
Also for the glitter, I used NYX's glitter on the go in "Forest."



Hope you enjoyed my first look of 2011! There will be many more to come within the new year!

Love always,
Brittany

Everyday Look

Woo! I'm finally going to be updating a lot! I'm sooooo happy I got my new camera for Christmas ;D (thanks mommy!)

Here's my new everyday look!


It's extremly simple.
I used all MAC eye shadows for this look.

1. Highlight, and Inner Lid- Rice Paper
2. Out Lid/Crease- Sketch
3. Crease-Carbon(used a tiny bit to give my eyes dimension)

& Thats all for the eye shadows! I told you this look was super easy (:

Mascara MAC's Zoom, and Urban Decay's eyeliner in Zero.

For my cheeks, I used NARS orgasm, which is a shimmery pink. I lined my lips with NYX's baby pink liner, and I topped it off with MAC's Angel lipstick.

Love,

Brittany xoxo

Christmas Looks

Here's the makeup I did for Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.


The Christmas Eve look I did was a icy blue look. To give it shimmer, and stand out I added some of MAC's transparent blue on top of the white. Since I wanted my eyes to be the main attraction, so I did a light pink blush, and lip color.
This look was for Christmas Day. All of the colors used are from Coastal Scents new 36 smokey eye palette(The greens, and the matte white)







Hope you enjoyed ;D




Love,
Brittany

Ugg Collaboration With Jimmy Choo, Yay or Nay?

How do you guys feel about Ugg collaborating with Jimmy Choo?






The price range for the boots are between 500 and 800 dollars. Not the average price you would normally spend on boots. For a cheaper pair of these shoes I'm sure you can go buy Uggs, and a bedazzler to get the look. Speaking of remember this? (:


Love Always

Ventriloquist Look



As promised here is a Halloween look for the month of October.

My first look that I did was a ventriloquist. I saw a few tutorials on YouTube, and wanted to create a look of my own.


Seen in the picture I used two pairs of lashes. One set for my regular eye lashes, (Ardell 105) and one set for under my eye. (Elf Dramatic Lashes) The lower lashes under my eye gave the illusion of a bigger eye. Another trick I used was contouring. I took a medium matte brown, smiled and contoured the outline of my cheeks. I blended the brown so there was no harsh lines, and added a hot pink blush to the outline. I then blended the hot pink upward to have a faded look.





Hope You Enjoyed!
Love Always,
Brittany

Toned Down Kim Kardashian Look




I know I've been slacking with my makeup looks but I just wanted to do a quick makeup look post. Kim Kardashian is known for a lot of things, her show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians', her looks, Reggie Bush, and her makeup. Many people love Kim's makeup, the dark smokey eyes espeically. Here I did a toned down everyday look that was inspired her smokey eyes. It's a bronzey color, and a navy blue in the outer corner.

Vacation Time

Hey everyone, I just wanted to update my blog telling you that I'm leaving my blog/facebook for two weeks :( I'm going on vacation tomorrow, and won't be back until August 9th. Once I get back from vacation I'll tell you where I went, and have a blog post all about it, with some pictures. I would love tell you all now, but can't for the fact that you can't trust those weirdo's over the computer. I hope I can somehow steal someones internet service while I'm in the hotel, but just in case I can't I wanted to let you guys know.


Ahh, I'm sooooo exited for vacation though, I've been waiting for this day for a longggg time! I need to go through my list, and pack everything up today. Since I'm going to be driving over 10 hours with four other people in one car I need to pack light. One suitcase is all I can bring for two weeks! I'm defiantly what you would consider an over packer. If I stay overnight at someones house for one night, I pack enough clothes for a week! It's sad I know :( This is going to be torture for me. I need to start condensing everything. I will find a way to make it work....hopefully.


If you haven't noticed I've been posting up a new makeup look every night for the past few days. I'm trying to keep up with my page as much as possible. Tomorrow night will most likely be my last look before I leave. I would love to keep doing looks every night but I know that won't be possible. I'll be up early, and won't get home till late. There's going to be no time hardly :( Yet, if I do get to do mine, or anyone else's makeup the pictures will be posted up when I get home. Speaking of makeup, I just googled CCO's locations, and found out that there's two in the area I'm staying! I'm super excited!!! I've only been to a CCO once. The closest one to me is over an hour away :( I've had my eye on a few discontinued MAC products that I hope to get my hands on!


I've been feeling very successful lately. I have bookings through August-October so far. Also I've been in touch with a photographer who I will be doing a shoot with in late August/Early September. I absolutely love her work! I can't wait to start up my portfolio. I've asked a few girls to model, and they were more then happy too. They're all beautiful with different ethnicity's. That's a huge factor in having a portfolio. When someone over looks your work they want to see that you work well with different skin types, and cultures. Of course I'll be doing the makeup/styling, and my friend Ashley will be doing the hair. She went to beauty school, and is extremely talented. I am glad that she's going to be apart of it.


Wow it's already 4:48 in the morning already, and I'm still wide awake. My sleep schedule is terrible in the summertime. During the night I always feel inspired. Like now with my blog. I'm rambling on about my vacation, makeup, and now my sleeping habits. I can't help it though, even if I wanted to fall asleep I couldn't. Sad part is I don't even sleep that late. On average I get around 5 hours of sleep every night. It's exhausting, but I guess it's just a routine for now. I'm going to dread going to my 8am classes once school comes around. Anyways I think it's time for my to force myself to sleep. I pretty much need too. I have a lot of last minute things to do before I leave. I hope to talk to you all soon!


Love you all,

Brittany

Hopefully I will have internet service there, but just in case there's not, I want to leave my blog, & fan page updated. All of the colors used to create this look are from my Urban Decay Palette. Enjoy (:

Middle of the Night Look

During the summertime my sleep schedule is all over the place. Some nights I go to sleep at 12am, and others 5am. Usually the nights when I stay up super late I get inspired to do crazy looks. Since there's hardly nothing to do in the middle of the night, I go on makeup sites. I get inspired by all different kinds crazy of looks, and I start to do my own with all of that inspiration. This look was one of them, Enjoy (:




Love,

Brittany

Item of the Week



Hey guys, I'm sorry for being late on the item of the week. For this week I chose Benefit's Hoola Bronzer. This bronzer gives you the perfect finish, and has the cutest packaging. It does not make you look orange at all, which I know a lot of people are concerned about. The Hoola Bronzer gives off a very natural matte finish. I have never used the brush before, but from reading other reviews I heard it is not good at all. They said the hairs of the brush fall out easily, and it doesn't give off the flawless finish. The retail price of this product is $28. You can find Benefit's Hoola Bronzer at any Sephora, or BenefitCosmetics.com
Love always,
Brittany

Lady Gaga Look on a Client

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating as much. I've been soooo busy lately! I will be posting a lot more now, I promise (:


Last Friday I did a makeup look on one of my clients for a Lady Gaga concert. She wanted something that was colorful, and stood out. Therefore I did this rainbow look on her. All of the colors were inspired by her Lady Gaga shirt. All of the color I used for the eyeshadow can be found in the Coastal Scents Creative Me Palette. Hope you all enjoy (:

Item of the Week


Hey everyone! Since I'm going to be doing the top 5 products of the month, I figured I would also include my top product of the week. For this week I choose my Urban Decay Eyeliner in "Zero." After buying the eyeliner I fell in love. Zero is very pigmented, glides on perfectly. The only downside about this product is that it does seem to smudge easily, so make sure when you leave the house to bring it with you. You will have to reapply it every so often.
-Retail Price: $17
