Hello everyone! I am back with another get ready with me style tutorial! This time it's another collaboration with one of my sweet friends on youtube/instagram, Tiana! We both did a colorful and glittery New Years Eve inspired makeup and I came up with a look that included the complimentary color duo; blue and orange! I also incorporated a pigment by makeupgeek cosmetics called 'New Years Eve' which just by the name, gave it a good reason to be included :) Let me know if you guys like these more dramatic looks or the get ready with me type videos!

Rihanna Inspired Fall Makeup Tutorial ♡

Hi everyone! Oh it's so good to be making a blog post :D Anyway, like I mentioned in the video, I'm always being told how much I look like Rihanna and to be completely honest I don't see it! I see a little bit of a resemblance when Rihanna was little seeing some of her baby pictures but that's about it. She's a beautiful, flawless grown woman with so much sex appeal and confidence and I'm just no where near that! Haha. However, I definitely had a lot of fun making this video, creating her charity event look! What do you think? :)

Hope you enjoy!

Iridescent Purple Makeup Tutorial ft Amrezy Palette ♡

Hi everyone! I recently purchased the Amrezy Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills and I decided to do a look that you can wear for any special occasion. This makeup would look especially beautiful for a prom/homecoming occasion or even a wedding occasion if you're, let's say, one of the guests or bridesmaids! I really enjoyed creating this look for you guys and I've been really liking this palette. It's so easy to work with since all of the eyeshadows are super blendable and pigmented, you can do no wrong. Let me know if you've tried doing this makeup yourself!

Hope you enjoy!
