Whoops

So, i realize that for the past 2 weeks i've failed to provide posts.That's because I've been out of town for a while. But trust me, there are plenty of good things to come.

So stay tuned.

Tip of the week!- Keeping your eyeshadow on all day!

So, this week's tip is gonna be really short. I've been working to get more things together for this blog because sometimes when i come to do the tip of the week I get really blank so I want to have some interesting things to tell you guys .

Anyways, here are some tips for keeping on your eyeshadow all day:

• Use and eyeshadow primer, yes they can be a bit pricey at times but it's totally worth it. Just apply it all over your lid up to your eyebrow then apply any eyeshadow you want.
• If you don't have an eyeshadow primer use some concealer or foundation on your eyelid then set it with some translucent powder then apply your powder eyeshadow. DON"T USE THIS WITH CREME EYESHADOW! It'll just blend together and create a really wierd color and you don't want that.

Thanks for reading the tip of the week and i promise there will be better stuff in the future.

Tip of the week- Mascara smudges

 This week's tip is short and sweet. It's all about mascara smudges, wether its on your eyelid or if you have a random eye spazm and its all under your eye. Here are some tips to help with those woes.

• WAIT! Wait a few minutes and let the mascara dry up and it should chip right off without causing a disaster to the eyeshadow you put on but, if you do end up with a bald spot just fill in the blank with whatever eyeshadow goes there.
• If you went too far and now the mascara has smeared just use a little makeup remover or mousturizer on a q-tip and take it off and, like i said before, just fill in the blank where the eyeshadow was.

Thanks for reading the tip of the week!

Tip of the week- How to make your lips look bigger!

This weeks tip of the week is for pretty much everyone, even me. Alot of people i come in contact want full plumped up lips without the use of collagen or lip plumpers. So, here are some tips on how to get a plumped up pout:

• Apply a light reflecting concealer right outside the line of your lips and blend out, it'll create shading so your pout looks plumped
• Use a lipliner and line your lips a little bit outside your natural lip line, dont go too far or you'll like a hot mess, we want to keep it more on the natural side.
• Use a gloss, colored or clear
• Apply a sparkly lipgloss in the center of your bottom lip, IF you're using a colored gloss, you can use a color one shade lighter than the base gloss just use the same placement as the sparkle one. This makes your bottom lip look bigger and poutier

Mascara Wars: Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Vs. CoverGirl Lash Blast (with pictures)

So,for the longest time I've been using the Maybelline Colossal Volum' for...pretty much ever, and after a while i wanted to try something new. So, I went to CVS to browse around cause lately I've been couped up in the house and I'll pretty much find any reason to get out. Now, all the hype on the CoverGirl Lash Blast got me curious so i went for it and heres what i think.(i also lucked out and got the last Very Black in the Non-Waterproof, because waterproof irritates my eyes)

Maybelline-$7.49      CoverGirl-$8.99

Now before i get into what i think and all the pictures of my lashes with the mascaraon , lets get into some facts about both of these mascaras. For starters, the Last Blast tube is larger than the Colossal Volum', but in the Lash Blast there are .44oz and there are .31oz in the Colossal Volum'.

The wand on each mascara is pretty diffrent. The Colossal Volum' wand is pretty thick and the bristles are a pretty good length, also it tapers off really well for being a pretty big brush. Lash Blast on the other hand ,the wand itself is thick but the bristles are short also the wand just kind of cuts off and dosent really taper to a point.

Anways..thats enough of that.

Ok, so I'm one of those people that can tell if they are gonna like something within the first time of trying it and i have to say..i was pretty impressed with the Lash Blast, it definitly thickens and seperates my lashes and it gives me length. But the Colossal Volum' gives me more length and wispyness. The brushes on both of them I really like but over all i pick the Colossal over the Lash Blast because when i apply my mascara i do it on the top of my lashes too so if the wand is too big it'll get all over my eyelid. The Colossal Volum' is a little flaky i have to admit but over all i love it. Now something i discovered is puting the Colossal Volum' on first then the Lash Blast, it gives you that wispy length and the thickness. Now,to see it for yourselves:

Tip of the Week!- Help with too much blush or bronzer

This weeks tip is a pretty short one so lets just get to it!

Have you ever experienced that moment after you apply your blush and when you look in a diffrent mirror and your face resembles that of a circus clown. Well here are some tips to help you on those days where you just OD'ed on blush.

• Apply your blush gradually, and build up to the desired look.
• Use a cosmetic sponge to buff off the excessive blush or bronzer, this dosent disrupt the rest of your face makeup it just helps to take what you don't want .
• Use your face powder and dust over the area lightly untill it looks good .

Come back next week for the Tip of the week!
