Hi Bellas,

It's New Years Eve tutorial time, which means it's time to break out the glitter lol.  Today I have a pretty standard look that's great for a late night party - Smokey Glittery Eyes, Tan Skin and Nude lips.  I mixed both gold and silver glitter so that you don't have to worry about clashing with your jewelry.  This mixed metals look gives you the best of both worlds.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

I wanted to take this moment to wish you and your family and loved ones a very Merry Christmas.  This isn't a beauty post, but just a short greetings of well wishes to you and yours.  On this day, I hope we're all spending the holiday with those we love.  I appreciate every one of you all for all you do and all you are.  I'm currently on vacation for the week visiting family, but I'll make sure to have a New Year's Eve Tutorial posted before January 1st.  Happy Holidays!


Hi Bellas,

Merry Christmas Eve to those of you who celebrate it!  I should be uploading a holiday makeup tutorial or something lol, but instead, I'm back with a quick video, showing off my new hair!  I recently had it dyed and cut and it's quite a change. However it's a great look to go for a no fuss lifestyle.  Check it out!


Hi Bellas,

I've been waiting for this day for two years...and it's finally here - Graduation!  It's been a long road and it's definitely a happy day.  My bestie Alex and I are finally done with our Masters in Business Degree.  Working full time, going to school, doing makeup and blogging...well graduation is the best Christmas gift I could ask for, lol.  Thanks to everyone for being so patient with me as I couldn't always post/record as much as I'd like to.  I'm going to sleep a few weekends in a row straight to recuperate and then after that I'm on the grind, lol.  Of course I had to share with my you the makeup I took for my graduation shots.  Take a look!

Hi Bellas,

Happy Friday!  Today I wanted to share with you some hair products I've been using over the last several months that have made my hair super duper shiny!  Argan Oil is huge in beauty products lately, and a company called Overte Hair has introduced me to their Argan Nature Set.  Check out my review!


Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another Face of the Day.  With it being the holidays and all, I decided to break out the perfect accessory - the classic, red lip!  Here's a look that looks good on everyone - neutral, smokey eyes and red lips.  I actually wore it for a graduation party with my class and it was a hit.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

Sorry for being MIA the last half of the week - I was out of town on business and out of pocked.  But I'm back with another video and it's a fun one!  I've been rocking a new purse lately and I decided to do an updated what's in my bag video.  I love to be super prepared at all times, so I also give you tips on organizing your bag and what beauty items to carry.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another video.  I filmed this maybe 2.5 months ago but I still think it's relevant.  I'm doing a full review of the MAC Pro Sculpting creams from their MAC Face and Body Limited Release Collection.  In this video I review the products and also give you some alternative product recommendations and show you a do a full contour using the products.


Hi Bellas,

Happy after Thanksgiving!  So today's tutorial was supposed to go up before Thanksgiving here in the US but this video gave me some major technical difficulties.  Regardless, I still wanted to show you this great Fall, Holiday look that will be perfect to wear to dinner/parties with your friends and family.  I decided to do a more bold eye and nude lip which is very food eating friendly, lol.  Check it out!

Hi Guys,

I'm super lucky because here in Atlanta I have this awesome theatrical makeup show called Norcostco - it's also available online to those not in the city.  They have a great range of brands from Graftobian to Ben Nye, Mehron and Dermablend.  Their busiest time of year is before Halloween and I stopped by to pick up some goodies.  Here's my massive haul!

Hi Bellas,

I attended a MAC Pro Class here in Atlanta and it was a really fun topic - Drag Makeup!  I learned a lot of great tips and also picked up some new items for myself and my kit.  I was able to capture all of this in a detailed post for those of you who can't attend these seminars because you maynot be a pro member or maybe they don't have classes/pro stores in your city.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another skincare review.  You all might remember my post on the Honey Blogger Event from a few weeks ago.  Well at that event I had the opportunity to meet Holly of Holly B Organics and try out some of her amazing skincare.  She's got some amazing products and you all definitely need to know about them - they've won tons of awards for her USDA organic certified skincare.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

It's that time again - time for monthly favorites!  I think I missed September but I've got a nice amount of goodies to feature from October.  It's very makeup and skincare heavy with a few hair items.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

Happy Monday!  I'm back with another video.  I thought this one would be super helpful for those of you who are noticing that your regular skincare routine isn't cutting it for the colder weather.  I naturally have dry, sensitive skin so I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help your skin feel nice, soft and moisturized for the Fall and Winter.

Hi Bellas,

Today I finally get to try out beauty line that I've had my eye on for a while.  I'm sure many of you are familiar with LA Splash Cosmetics.  Their primer is super popular for using with glitter.  Anywho, I got a chance to try out some of their products and I've got pics, swatches a review for you all.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

Happy Halloween!  I'm pumped about a costume party I'm going to tonight.  I'll make sure to take pics.  Meanwhile, today I thought I'd focus on a product that I know works.  As a beauty blogger I try out a lot of new products so when I repurchase something you know it's a winner!  Today I'm featuring Pur Minerals Pressed Mineral Foundation.  It's really the only mineral makeup I'd use.  Today I've got pics and I'll show you my favorite way to apply it.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with my last Halloween Makeup tutorial of 2012!  Today i'm doing a look that I did on my boyfriend for Halloween last year but on myself - Monkey Time!  I did an ape man prosthetic on me (more of a female monkey as inspired by the picture below) and my boyfriend and I plan on doing a Monkey Business Couple look.  This time I filmed a tutorial on how to pull off the look, check it out!

Hi Bellas,

Sorry for no post yesterday - I was having technical difficulties.  But today I'm back with another quick haul.  I ended up going to a local beauty supply store to find a wig for Halloween and of course I couldn't help but pick up a few goodies as well.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

Happy Friday!  It's definitely fall and I'm ready for it!  I've got my deep lippies pulled out and today i'm showing you my first Fall look.  I went for berries on the lips and eyes and I think it's a look that will look fab on everyone, check it out!

Hi Bellas,

I saw this fun tag going around YouTube on 10 Makeup Products I Would Repurchase.  Essentially, these are the top 10 items I would repurchase if all my makeup was burnt in a fire, lol.  I tried to mix it with high and low-end to give you all some options.  These 10 makeup items would be great for an essentials makeup kit as well.  Check it out!
