My TINY Obsession

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood! ♥

YAAAY! This is my second Halloween look and I freaking love this season!! I absolutely love creating costumes out of clothes in my closet because its not only fun but CHEAP! So if this year you're on a budget, I hope that this gives you a little inspiration to dig through your clothes to see what you can find!

And of course we can't forget about the Makeup! I had tons of fun creating this look and I think it turned out awesome. Super simple but can also be super dramatic. I didn't want the makeup to be too crazy because I wanted the super RED lips to pop out against her pale white skin. I hope you guys have as much fun with this look as I did!

Now for the products used!

26 BH Neutral Palette w/Blush (Any colors you have will work too!)

Taupe Color (All over wash)
Deep Dark Red (Crease; make sure to feather for a smokey look)
Dark Chocolate Brown (Define crease)

White Face Paint (I got mine at Target for $1!)
ELF Bronzer/Blush Duo
Red Lipliner
NYX Lipstick in Topaz

I wish I could tell you where I got my clothes but I don't remember! But what I did do was go to cheap stores like ROSS, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, anything like that where they have discounted clothes. Thrift Stores will work too!

Ruffled white shirt
Ruffled black skirt (Pencil skirt will work too!)
HUGE Black belt to pinch the waistline
Black tights/leggings/stockings
Cute black flats
The red sweater conveniently had a hood so I used that instead! If your on the hunt for her real cape it shouldn't be hard to find at a Halloween store or Target.

Loves & Hugs! ♥

2011-09-22T22:26:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! So I absolutely love fall colors but instead of catching the typical gold and bronze colors I wanted to do something a little different so I chose purples!! I also wanted to incorporate Fall 2011 Fashion trends and what I've seen a lot are super clumpy spider lashes and loose sexy braids.

Products Used:

Naked Palette: Naked (base color), Hustle (crease), Toasted (lid), Sidecar (inner corner) & Buck (as a blending color)
Revlon Creme Palette in Precious Metals or any deep pink color
NYC Bronzer for the contour and a LA Colors lipstick (#367) as blush and lipstick
DUPE! (for the Naked Palette) is ELF eyeshadow quad in "Day 2 Night" which you can find at target for only $1! or any deep burgundy purples and pinks with a champagne color will work.

Hair Goodies!

So summer is finally over and you can bet your darn butt that my hair knows it! It went from super shiny to dull. Then crazy dry to unmanageable FRIZZ! So.. I thought the end of summer is the best time to film a Hair Tips & Tricks Video!

So where I live, it's super foggy cold! But if you go 10 minutes away it could be scorching HOT so I came up with a few DIY tricks that are really cheap and easy! It'll fix oily hair, dry hair, and if you have color treated hair don't worry! I have alternatives just for you!

The first step to have simple healthy hair through out the year is to have a routine right out of the shower. I like using a leave in conditioner and a heat tamer. The one I use is from Garnier and it's the cheapest and works really well for me and the heat tamer is Tresemme which has done wonders for my hair especially since I'm trying to grow out long. These 2 put together is like magic and I don't have to trim my hair has often!

Oily hair is actually more healthy for your scalp. Shampooing it everyday dries it up so your oil glands will secrete more oil than needed thus giving you even more oily hair! (Kind of how over exfoliating works on your face) So I love using baby powder or even corn starch because it grabs all the excess oil and even adds a little volume! I say don't spend at all on a dry shampoo especially since this one can be found lying around the house!

Last trick is my favorite especially when it comes to gross weather changes and dry hair. Softee's is only $1 and can easily be switched for a combination of honey and a little conditioner. I let it sit in my hair over night maybe under a shower cap and rinse in the morning.

Hope you guys found this helpful!

Love & Hugs!

Quoted by Michael Scott in one of my favorite episodes of The Office! Haha <3
So anyways! I am finally back and hopefully this blog thing will stick, at least for each time I make a new video. I've been gone for almost all summer even though that's when I had the most time to film! But I had lots of fun with family and stuff so this is just a little update video on what I've been doing for oh so long.
OH! And I got a new Vanity! YAAAAAAAY! I think I was waaaaaaay long over due for a new one that is way more sleek and sexy.

Before

After

Vanity: (really its an office desk ha ha!) Ikea

Oval Mirror: Ikea

Square Mirror: Bed Bath & Beyond (on Clearance!)

And a new TV to top it all of! It's still pretty small but I still think it looks really cute anyways! I'm also planning on moving the lamp to where my guitar now is (behind of where I'm taking the picture! haha!) and putting in some lighting under the shelf and hiding all those nasty wires (:

Love & Hugs!

So.. I said I'd post every day..

2011-08-05T21:45:00.000-07:00

HA! I hope it happens -_- LOL. Ugh this is going to be harder than I thought, but it's the fun that counts right? School is starting soon so hopefully I can get a back to school makeup video up! (If anyone is out there reading this do you have any thing specific you want to see?) But my makeup list of video ideas is growing at an INSANE rate and I don't know how to keep up with it! (ha ha) oh well, even with a minimum of 26 views per video I can't complain! But the little comments of love I get here and there from my viewers immensely pick up my day from a dull one to a FULL one! LOL! Did that rhyme? (haha! darn I'm tired!) Really though, I absolutely LOVE every comment or critic I get from people watching my videos. I LOVE ALL MY VIEWERS! (Even the 2% male viewers age 65+! LOL) Anyways it's time to sleep to film a full day of videos tomorrow before my family comes over. It's going to be raining fat munchkin babies! EXCITES! <3
