I normally try to do lots of Halloween tutorials…but this year it has been crazy busy. With the new site & lots of life stuff I haven’t gotten to share as much as I’d like. Today, however, I get to show you a tutorial I absolutely fell in love with! I used a variety of products (all broken down below) but it doesn’t have to just be Halloween either. The eyeshadows I used mainly are from the Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette which I’ll be reviewing soon- & this look is just a favorite! Love my purples!

Ever walked through TJ Maxx & spied an OPI you’ve never seen? Well I did! I promptly placed it in my cart (along with way too much other stuff) & didn’t think twice about it. When I looked at it in the car on the way home I really thought it was stunning- flakie & shimmer & yes! So much yes! This got me thinking- why am I the only one crazy about it? Why haven’t I heard of this shade? Just wait to find out why because this is one weird OPI tale! [Read more…]

Ever see reviews of a palette & think “What is the hype there?” Well that’s how I felt about the Lorac Unzipped Palette. I’d seen it in stores & thought it was really pretty but not a must have. Then I started seeing reviews, swatches, & tutorials using Unzipped that got me excited. Maybe it isn’t just another neutral palette? Maybe the shades won’t look as close once on the eye? Maybe this palette could be for me? Well I finally bought it last month- keep reading to see what I think now!
