Hi Bellas!



It seems like Maybelline's new Last Stiletto Mascara is everywhere these days. From TV to the blog scene...I was fortunate to get my hands on it.





I'll make this review short and sweet because I know some of you are already familar with this product. My lashes are super short, straight and sparse so this mascara needs to work wonders!



The concept of this mascara is really cute...shaped like the end of a stiletto.




The brush is tiny with very spiky bristles to catch the lashes.






Check out the before and after. My non-existent lashes to added length.







Here is a another close-up. I used Lash Stiletto with a volumizing mascara in familiar bright orange tube and whoa, I quadrupled my lashes. They could use a comb through to separate the lashes but what a huge difference right?


PROS
-cute packaging
-definitely lengthens
-dark black formula
-inexpensive - under $10 and available at most drugstores
-small brush to catch tiny lashes/lower eyelashes

CONS
-does not volumize
-does not have a patent black finish like the product suggests

SUMMARY
To get the best results, pair this with a volumizing mascara and your problems are solved!

Stay tuned for today's YouTube Video: Sugarweet Haul and Review

Hi Bellas!

I'm back from New Orleans. I got home after midnight yesterday so I'm pooped! I had sooo much fun...I wish I could of stayed a day longer. I got some partying in and some time with my BF's family...I'll make sure to post pics soon!

While I was gone I was able to stick to my regular video posting schedule and I uploaded my Prom Makeup Tutorial. Prom season is among us and I wanted to make a simple tutorial which any high schooler could follow. I tried to use products that were easy available at drugstores (NYX) or easily dupeable.

Check out the video tutorial!


Here's What I Used

EYES
MAC stars and rockets - Milani shock
MAC black tied - Milani storm
MAC shroom - any shimmery, cream colored highlight shadow
NYX liquid liner
NYX mascara
Ardell Falsies

LIPS
any shimmery pink gloss

Hi Bellas!


It's Friday, woo hoo! This week has been super long, I think because I'm excited about my mini trip to New Orleans this weekend! I'm really excited! We're staying right on Bourbon Street at the Chateau Bourbon. We picked this hotel because of the location. That way when we go out at night, no one has to drive! No DD's in this bunch, lol.










I plan on eating Beignets, Drinking Hand Grenades and Daquiris and relaxing! I've been doing a lot of makeup gigs lately that have tuckered me out...combined with my full time job, my blog which I try to post every Monday - Friday, 2 videos a week on YouTube, and working out...I don't get a lot of free time and I'm a little Makeuped out (is that a word, lol). However, I did offer to give the BF's sister a makeover, lol. I couldn't resist! I'll post a before and after next week. I packed really smart too makeup wise too.

I'll come back and post a pic during lunch.


Last night I went to MAC and picked up a few refills, a blush from the Grand Duo Collection, and some stuff from Sugarsweet...I'm actually wearing one of the MSFs to work now, so pretty!


Here are my upcoming videos:

This Monday - Prom Makeup Tutorial (I didn't realize I used a lot of the same colors from the Sugarsweet collection, lol, I did it before I hauled)

This Wednesday - Sugarsweet haul vid

Next Monday and Wednesday - Tutorial on the Sugarsweet collection on my bestie Alex! I've gotten many requests to do makeup on other people - she's an NW45 also for the women of color out there who think they can't rock the same looks I do. This might have to be a two parter video.

So I probably won't have a post on Monday since I'll be out of town :( But my YouTube video will be up. I'll be back to regular posting on Tuesday. I'll miss you all. Ethereal Prey, I'm taking food porn pics just for you!

Hi Bellas!

I got up part two of my Lauren Conrad mini series. Sai shows you how to turn the braided look from day to night. I would truly rock this look to a wedding or evening function. She used a clip in flower as an accesory - my fav! I love the way flowers look in the hair :)





This is my contest winning entry - I did a tutorial, stay tuned!


In the video I also showed you a breakdown of Sai's makeup. We went for a neutral eye and a red lip. She's getting married in October (I'm a bridesmaid!) and she is going for a vintage look...her hair will be parted on the side and wavy like Jessica Rabbit/Veronica Lake. I think she's going to do a darker red lip though. Ain't she perty? In case you're wondering, I'm not doing the makeup for her wedding...she wanted me to enjoy her wedding and I have bridesmaid duties to attend to!




Check out the video! The bloopers at the end are so funny!

Till next time, Ciao Bellas!
