Shop with out spending MONEY!!!

This grunge glam look is so fun!! I picked a glittery silver and gold dress... and threw the grey tank over the top to give it a funky layered look! Im LOVING mixing and match hard and soft peices right now. Leather and lace, or leather and sparkle!! Im going to be big on adding a little bit of glitter to my boho looks this summer! :)

Eye Primer Test!!

This is just a photo of the size difference between 3 primers. top: Urban Decay Primer potion Middle: Palladio Bottom: ELF cosmetics




This photo was taken at the very end of the day before I took my makeup off!! Cant tell much of a difference... can you???

***

HEY LADIES!! so as you all know, Palladio Cosmetics and I have been working together... and they sent me over some eye primer to try. I was super excited because you all know how in love i am with primers and bases!! lol As you can see from the picture above... its FANTASTIC. You cant even tell the difference between the urban decay primer potion... and the Palladio Primer!!

***

The Palladio Primer is actually alot silkier than the urban decay primer potion (udpp) It almost has the consistency similar to too faced shadow insurance! its VERY easy to blend... and it doesn't feel like you are stretching your eye too much when you do so!! I feel like the udpp has a consistency more of concealer, and the Palladio primer has the consistency of a face primer! The only downside is that it is much smaller than the UDPP. I think you should definitely give it a try! Also the Palladio brand is MUCH cheaper that Urban decay... so its great for a girl on a budget!

***

You can get this primer at Sally's beauty supply! Or you could get it at http://www.palladiocosmetics.com/

Portland trip with my BOO!!! :)

Just wanted to post a few photos of me and Travis in Portland this weekend. We brought out new camera and experimented with the lighting and stuff!! We went out to our favorite fancy restaurant called Portland City Grill. Its on the 30th floor of the highest building in Portland, and we sat right by the window!! We love it there! We also went to a Blazer game on Sunday night! It was a blast!! We won, and it was an AWESOME game...they played SO well! :) And Brandon Roy is pretty hot too. ha ha. :)

As you all know I went shopping too. Mostly for spring stuff. :) Check out my haul video on YouTube to see all the fun stuff I bought! Hope you guys have an amazing Monday night!

Favorite Artists!

So....I know this has NOTHING to do with fashion or makeup. But alot of you know that art is a huge part of my life.... and I LOVE finding new artists that I love. It even sometimes inspires my fashion as well. These 3 artists that I am about to show you are my 3 ALL time favorites. I hope you enjoy, and tell me what you think. Also if you have an artist that you LOVE...I would be so happy if you shared. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOSHUA PETKER

I love Joshua's art because its so free and dynamic. He has a way of making a smudge of paint and turning it into an eye. There is also somewhat of a Gothic feel to his work... but he still manages to use ALOT of color. I also love that is colors aren't used in normal ways. He uses hot pink and neon yellows through out a face..and somehow it still looks like a face!! You don't see work like his often... and that's why I think its so amazing!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUDREY KAWASAKI

Audrey is...without a doubt in my mind...my ALL TIME FAVORITE artist. Her work is beyond inspirational and beyond amazing. She has her own style...that is SO haunting and dark.... but still so girly. The way her characters are so stylized... but still so realistic is beyond me. I think her work is amazing. I would give anything to have a giant piece of her work in my house. I would just stare at it all day. haha



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLAINE FONTANA

Graffiti has ALWAYS intrigued me. For some reason when i went to Barcelona Spain... the Graffiti had more of an effect on my that most other things that probably should have! haha. I love the colors, and the illustration feel of it. Blaine Fonata has that graffiti street style in his art, but its also very professional...and you don't see anything like it. Me and my husband were actually going to try to recreate a piece for a house... but i don't think its possible. He just has a way about his work that can be duplicated!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. I LOVE art and there is no way around it. haha. Please let me know if there are any artists you look up to. Or any pieces of art you would die to have in your house!

Bronze wing and green for spring... :)

This is a new look for me because I used a bronze, burgudy eye liner on top...and you all know I LOVE black eyeliner and black smokey shadow. :) This is a very pretty look especially if you are wearing brown tones that day. I also LOVE the green underneath the eye. It brings out the red in the eyeliner. :) Is this a look you guys would use? What is a look you would like to see from me in the future. I definitly want to do a very dark smokey eye soon. I did have one up, but due to the copyrights...I had to take them down! :(

Other than that, I am planning alot of great videos, and tutorials. I would like to get more hair tutorials up to.

Hope you guys have an amazing day!! xoxo

Where I get my inspiration!!

Click on Photos to make them Larger!!

I don't only like Nichole Richie's style, but I get alot of people telling me we dress similar. I love her simple style...that is funkified with the 60's boho look. When I get dressed in the morning that is the look that i usually have in my head! :) Even though the outfits are simple they are still very individual and they don't look over done! If I could raid one persons closet it would be hers! What about you guys?? If you could raid ONE celebs closet who would it be???

Thanks for reading!

Dont forget to check out my contest on my Youtube... Lots of great prizes! :)

Dizzy for Rimmel

Rimmel lipstick in Dizzy is my new obsession! pink lips in the spring is one of my favorite things. I plan on doing a makeup look using this color! Its to die for! :) What do you guys think?

Today has been a pretty slow day. Well actually its gone by VERY fast, but i haven't done much of anything super important! Went to the grocery store... which I hate doing. But I always drive out of my way to Fred Meyer because they have makeup and jewelry there which makes it much more fun. haha.

BTW, don't forget to check out my contest on YouTube. And of course...DON'T FORGET TO ENTER! There are great prizes...and ALOT of prizes so you have a great chance of winning at least SOMETHING. :)

I am so beyond frustrated and sad right now!

This isnt going to seem like a big deal to some of you... but i feel so MAD, SAD, PISSED...and anything else in that category of emotions. I tried and TRIED to get an answer on whether or not i could keep my videos with like 10 seconds of music at the beginning of my videos....an NO ONE would give me a straight answer. I got to the point where I HAD to delete them...and I am super sad about it. Us video bloggers put so much work and effort into making good videos... and its truely paining to take them down for a stupid reason like that. Some of them were my favorite videos...and the fact that i will either have to make them again... or re-upload them makes me SOOO MAD! I also didnt want to let all of my subscribers down either. Its frustrating when gurus you really like take their vids down... (I know one inparticular...and its dissapointing because i LOVE watching them). I cant imagine how Fafinttex3 (Audrey) feels getting her account hacked and all of her videos be deleted. Its really is devistating. I might be acting a little over dramatic here... but oh well. Im just venting!

I just want to thank you all for being understanding, and sticking by me and watching my vids! I promise more NEW and GREAT ones will be coming soon.... you wont even miss the old ones! ;) PLEASE let me know if there are any in particular that you are missing...and i will re-upload those ones first... or remake them. (Stupid me didnt save all of them...thinking i would never need them again) SO retarded by me... lol.

OH well... what can I do.

I hope you all have a great Valentines day!! xoxo

Some new Makeup.... Review vid coming soon!

I got a blending brush and a flat shader brush! I LOVE the flat shader brush!! It is great for pressing colors on your lid over a base to give you a VERY vivid bright color!! The blending brush is great too. Its definitly more of a stiffer blending brush which is nice sometimes...but I tend to go toward the limper blending brushes...but they are both SUPER soft!!

You guys all know how big of a fan I am of Powder foundations..and I have been wanting to try Palladio's out FOREVER! great product, and great coverage!! Although I'm not a fan of the packaging and the brush inside is low quality. I set this foundation with my mineral veil from Bare minerals!

I love this Palladio blush bronzing compact. its SOOO similar to one of my other favorite products! the Victoria Secret mosaic blush. Although the Palladio one is slightly less sparkly. Still LOVING it though!!


Palladio lips stain!! If you guys remember in one of my makeup tutorials...I mentioned that I liked having I light color underneath of a nude gloss to give my nude lips a slight bit of pink... Just so I don't look dead. Well this is GREAT because it's a light pink stain!! I put my nude gloss over the top and it gives a little color to the nude lip. Then when your gloss wears off...you still have some color to your lips!! I also really like the felt tip applicator...it smells GREAT too!

Sonia Kashuk concealer palette.... NEW OBSESSION!! I love it more than the hard candy one I have been using!! This reminds me more of my favorite Sephora one...just a little bit thicker in consistency. I KNOW I will be buying this again!

Here is a pic of everything together! :) I also got Some rice paper oil blotters. Great to carry around in your purse so you can keep your face from looking glossy! :)

Keep a look out for a video on these products!! There will also be some clothes in the haul as well... I have been waiting for a forever 21 package for what seems like FOREVER. But I think i just get a little but impatient when i order online...it really hasn't been that long! :)

Thanks for watching and reading lovelies!!

You can buys palladio at http://www.palladiobeauty.com/ or sally's beauty supply

New Makeup Look!!

I LOVE green looks, and it brings out brown eyes SO well! I'm a little frustrated though...I'm working on trying to get my lighting better...and its just not perfect yet! Once I post the video, let me know what you guys think of the lighting, or if I should change it up a little bit!

Is this a look you are excited to see? Is there anything else you guys have in mind as far as makeup tutorials?
