Tan during the winter?


Ok we all know that spring is coming and how much a hint of a summer glow looks amazing! Not everyone has the time or money to go to a tannin salon, or if there is one near them. In my situation, it's hard to find a tanning salon near by where I don't have to drive an hour to pay for a tan and use up gas. A excellent secret that I've been using for a while and been complimented on is my ... Dun dun dun... My banana boat self tanning lotion in deep dark color! Honestly, this is an amazing product overall, don't streak, doesnt smell weird, long lasting and definitely doesn't make you look like you rolled around in a bag of Doritos! Lol even now in mid January, here down south it's reaching upper 70's so I've started my transition into my summer glow :) this product can be found in drugstores, Walmart, and Target. -xoxo

Today's look!


Want to know how I did this look? Stay tuned to Tuesday's video :) -xoxo

(Sorry for the low-quality pictures)

Baby Lips worth it?

So about two weeks ago i purchased two Maybelline Baby Lips lip balms. I first heard of it on YouTube of course, and then i started seeing advertisements and i definitely wanted to see what all the hype was about. In this video i sorta do a "first impression" review kinda video, where i talk about the product, and share my likes and dislikes! .. If YOU'VE tried it, do you think they're worth the hype? -xoxo

Hands & Toes!

So for Christmas I received two of these nailpolishes. I didn't think much of it since the brand did not seem familiar, I set it aside and just let it sit there. Yesterday I thought, I need to paint my hands and toes... Hmm what color? Since spring fashion is coming and bold colors are gonna be in I decided to give it a try. The color is a bit red orange mixed w. a peachy tint, so a neon coral color! And I have it on and I LOVE IT! It makes my hands look lighter but tanned at the same time. My toes?! Impeccable! Lol. I applied two coats, and use my Sally Hansen diamond strength no chip nail color clear coat and Voo-ala! It hasn't chip yet, but if it didn't I wouldn't care cause I have a second bottle :) I think this will be my color for the next few weeks and perhaps springtime! -xoxo

My SkinCare thingy!

So it was a request on what i use for my face, and how i keep it "flawless." .. In this video i just talk about three products i used and how simple it is. **THIS IS NOT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES, THIS IS WHAT I DO** I do have DRY skin all year round so i have to make sure to always moisturize and to be careful to not remove the natural oils my skin produces. Any who, i am accepting requests on topics or looks :) -xoxo

Products Mentioned:
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads
Aveen Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
Cetaphil  DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion

My Tornado Essentials!


So I had a rude awakening this morning .. Tornado Warning in my area! Some of the things I grabbed and brought downstairs to my "tornado safe" closet were: my ferret, my dog, important document, pet foods, myself an my sephora makeup kit. I locked myself in there and tried to remain calm and do my makeup. Instead of bring a bunch of crap, this was the most compact item I had. I did a simple neutral eye, winged my liquid eyeliner, and a "red" lip. That was it! .. Now that everything has settled and the warning is off and so far there's no harm coming my way, off to start my day! :) xoxo

Watch me get ready?

So idk how to feel about the 'watch me get ready' videos. Not sure if my viewers/subbies/friends are enjoying them or if i should just turn them into a "break-down" tutorial. These videos become easy for me to record since its usually right before i leave the house, and on editing its just speeding it up and doing a voice over.

I am really trying to stick by this hobby and pull through, so i've decided to upload videos EVERY tuesdays AND thursdays! Two videos a week as a start, which i dont think is bad. I truly love doing these videos, not only because i get to play with makeup but its nice because (as i speak for myself) it makes me feel better about myself. I feel like I am doing something i like and gives me a bit of confidence due to my motivation :) ..

Friends are interested in doing videos and i support them and definitely encourage them. I dont see it as a competition at all, if they have interest in beauty stuff, why not? I learn every day on new looks and tips and tricks that i try to master, cause i myself am no "guru" .. i DONT know every little thing in the book, but with the little i know i hope people can appreciate that! I'm willing to learn, and i hope others are able to share any knowledge that can help us become better! :) -- xoxo
