Tutorial | Valentine's Day Look #3: Spontaneous Love

Hello Loves!

Today I have a 3rd look for Valentine's Day for you all. With only 3 days left, I have two more looks for you all! This look is centered around a beautiful purple smoky eye with a pop of pink on the lips and lower lash line. When most people think of Valentine's Day, they automatically think of pink, reds and purples; so in honor of that I decided to go with a purples and pinks in this look.

I hope you all enjoy this look because it's very pretty. This is more so a night out or club kind of look. A bit more bright and dramatic than the first two looks.

Tutorial

The tutorial shows you step by step how to achieve this beautiful purple smoky eye with a pop of pink! In this tutorial I also used a matte finish foundation because during the day you don't want to look like a oily waste-land. You want to look polished and sweet for your day. Especially if you plan to go clubbing!

The blushes I am wearing are dupes for Nars Orgasm and La Femme Mocha blush. Dupe post coming soon!

Tutorial | Valentine's Day Look #2: Bluebirds Are Golden

Hi my loves,

Today's post is actually another Valentine's Day look/ tutorial. I am currently at a photoshoot in NYC, so I decided to create two looks last weekend so that you could get a head start of planning for Valentine's Day. It's the day of love...

The first look was more on the neutral side, click here to see, this tutorial is still subtle while utilizing blues and purples. 

Why blues and purples? When most people think of Valentine's Day they automatically think of red and pink. Me...I think of coral, cobalt blue, purple, fuchsia and black so I figured I make some out-of-the-ordinary looks for those looking for something different.

This look is bright, subtle and flirty. Perfect for a simple lunch date, picnic in the park or family night

Haul | BH Cosmetics

Hi my loves!

Here is part III of my collective freelance kit haul. You can check out the other parts here:

• Part I - Coastal Scents
• Part II - LeCosmetique

This part is going to contain all of the products I ordered from ... 

I placed three separate orders in because I needed palettes in my life. Personally I hate single shadows and I have a ton of them that I need to depot soon -- may do a post on that someday. Overall, between the three orders I placed I got a total of 24 items. I did get free shipping on all orders as well thankfully!

Tools

I ordered two blending brushes from BH Cosmetics. One of them I got for free and one I paid $3.16. I absolutely like the blending brush...it's fluffy, blends color so well and feels great on the eyes. Can't get enough of them. I plan to purchase a few more of these brushes. They are even perfect for blending concealer and powder under the eye!

120 Palettes

I purchased both the 120 Palette 1st & 2nd Edition in a special for New Years at $25 total. It was called the New Year's Steal #1 as they had two or three different "steals" at the time. I purchased the 120 Palette 3rd & 4th Edition for only $16 and the 5th Edition for $17.

A brief break down of each palette is as follows:

1st Edition - Contains gorgeous, vibrant colors in many hues. Fun for the average makeup junkie that loves bold makeup like myself!

2nd Edition - Similar to the 1st edition with bright colors, but has twice as many neutrals for an even balance of fun. Thinking about keeping this one for myself since I don't need both in my kit.
