Review: Stila's Countless Color Pigments: Acoustic, Indie, & Center Stage ♡

So I have had these cute little things for a while now. Every time I go to get ready I see them just sitting in my vanity drawer, and thought that it would be a good time to do a review on them. I have always been so obsessed with these pigments, and have used them a few times. 'Indie' (center) and 'Acoustic' (far right) are a lot more wearable than 'Center stage' (far left) in my opinion. I use 'Indie' not only for an eyeshadow but as a blush as well. Mixed together makes the most beautiful hot pink shade. 

The formula of these pigments are super easy to blend, and have a very smooth consistency. Since they are pigments and not just eyeshadows, you can use them just for about anything. These are only three out of the collection of 10. The other colors are just as gorgeous as the three above. 

Right now is the best time to buy these pigments, because they have gone way down in price from $22 to only $8 each!! That is such an affordable price for such a great product! 

*The best way to apply these pigments is to wet your brush with some MAC Fix + or some eye drops or water.*

How I fill in my THIN eyebrows

New video is now up on my channel on how I fill in my thin brows! Great tutorial for girls who have thin ones like myself. NO JUDGING on the 2 pictures on the left please. I want everyone to see that it is okay to have thin brows, and also show what a difference it makes after filling them in. I am aware I look a lot different when I don't have them filled in.

Bridesmaid makeup: purple eye ♡

Hello sugar pies! I was honored to do one of my best friend's makeup for one of her best friend's wedding she was in. The colors of the wedding were purple and teal. Now, I am not one to match makeup to wedding colors, or to outfits, but the purple was just too good not to do on her eyes. I mean let us be honest for a minute, Suzy has incredible eyes to start with, but something about the light shades of purple made the blue pop even more. I usually wouldn't pair purple with blue eyes, but it just worked on her. It also helps that she's already gorgeous to begin with. ;)

Enjoy... ♥
