I'm back & with a new video!!!!

Hey my loves!! I am sooo sorry about being M.I.A for quite a bit. I have been so overwhelmed and stressed with school, and it is nonetheless taking over my life. (sigh) Filming YouTube videos and maintaining my blog is a full-time job, and it is really hard to balance that with being a full time student in college. I cannot wait until I am able to focus solely on Youtube, blogging, and most importantly being a makeup artist. I am trying my best to get up as much videos as possible, and post more on my social media. Thank you all for bearing with me in this time. 

This video is just a getting ready with me video, and not a tutorial. I will post a tutorial on my eye look. It is just a simple look using the NAKED 3 palette. I will have actual makeup tutorials coming soon, I just needed to get a new video up fast! I hope y’all enjoy! xxoo

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. Go check it out and like it if you found it helpful! Don't forget to subscribe to my channel as well. xo
