Post #13: The Podcast Challenge!

Hey again!

I went to my Facebook page and took questions regarding anything about makeup and answered a few of them for you. Please enjoy my first podcast and thanks for listening!

Post #12: The Snapchat Filter Challenge!

So I've noticed that the Snapchat filter popularity has grown immensely and they come out with brand new filters every day! Recently, they added a "pop art" style filter that turns you into a comic book character and today I wanted to share my attempt at recreating it on myself!




Hope you enjoy this video and thanks for watching!

Post #11: Main Products used for Wonder Woman Headband!

NEW. FAVORITE. PRODUCT.

I usually severely dislike any products I get at a costume shop (they are usually fairly cheap in price AND quality), but this one is different.

For about $10, you can get this Mehron Metallic Powder in Gold at Party America.

All you do is shake a small amount of gold powder into a container ( I used a shot glass) and mix it with the Mixing Liquid it comes with. It created a solid gold metal liquid that you use to paint on a perfect gold shimmer.

As someone obsessed with makeup who loves anything shiny and shimmery, I was in heaven.

I have a feeling I will be using this more in the future.

For the shading, I used my Morphe 35O palette you saw in the last video with a small eyeshadow brush!

I also wanted to mention one of my favorite lipsticks which is by Meltcosmetics in the color "noOd."

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!

Post #10: The Wonder Woman Challenge!

In honor of the new Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, I decided to try to do a Wonder Woman look! I couldn't find any tutorials on the new crown/headband she wears in the movie, so I decided to make one in case there is anyone on the internet world that will eventually come looking for one!

I used the Mehron Metallic Powder in Gold to create the headband (which I will show you in the next post) and added some details and shading with some brown shadows.

I also learned (kinda) how to use a green screen! Enjoy!

Post #9: Products used in the half-skull mask.

Here is a more detailed look at the main products I used in my last video.

This was a cheap white costume makeup I purchased from Party America. I DO NOT recommend it as I'm sure there are other better products out there.

A better alternative is the Mehron brand, they do carry it at Party America but they were out when I went to purchase it.


I also used MAC's fluid line gel in Blacktrack for the black paint and used a small brush to apply it.

And lastly, I used MAC's matte black eyeshadow in Carbon for shading the rest!

Post #8: The Half-O-Ween Challenge!

It is now April, girls and boys, which means we have 6 more months until Halloween. I wanted to show you a cool half-skull mask that I recreated from a tutorial by Youtuber Chrisspy. Here is the original video:

I didn't do it EXACTLY like this, because the texture of the white makeup didn't really allow it. I bought some cheap white cream makeup from Party America and it started cracking almost right away.

I was still fairly happy with the results and you can see it here:

Post #7: Products from the No Mirror Challenge!

As promised, here are most of the products I used in my last video for the No Mirror Makeup Challenge.

First up is my favorite drug-store foundation. This is the Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation in 120 "Classic Ivory." You can get this from any CVS, Walgreens or Wal-mart and this is the Dewy and Smooth finish. If you like more of a matte look, they have that option as well.

I also love this Tarte Amazonian Clay matte bronzer in the color Park Avenue Princess. After years of searching for a non-orange, non-ashy bronzer, I have found the perfect hue in this one. This one is a little pricier and you can find it at your local Sephora.

For my beautiful eyebrows in my last video, you can use this fantastic eyebrow pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills in Dark Brown (also found at Sephora or Macys.com).

And this is what I REALLY wanted to share; my favorite eyeshadow palette at the moment, which is the Morphe 35O (orange shades) palette. This is one of the most affordable kits I have ever bought for the quality and you can find it at morphebrushes.com.

Please comment for any questions! I will continue to show you the products I am using and thanks for reading!
