Tropical island Inspired Makeup Tutorial




For this look I was inspired by this beautiful picture of the ocean that I found while browsing google. I  used the color scheme from the photo to create a dark cut crease. Its very reminiscent to an island girl, or what I think a beautiful women on a tropical beach should be wearing for the nightlife.

Inspired by ZenaDramaticAddict's "Pink Green and Blue Cut Crease"tutorial


As I was browsing through youtube's beauty tutorials I came across this gorgeous cut crease tutorial by ZenaDramaticAddict, and if you know me then you know I am in love with cut crease looks. This one stood out to me for it Vertical blending effect rather than the usual horizontal gradient going up towards the brow. 
 I really like how this turnt out with a simple white eyelid color and a bright bold purple and pink ombre lip. 

Heres a list of the products I used for this look.

5 SkinCare Recipes Using 5 Ingredients in Your Kitchen.



With the increased availability of chemical ridden products designated for the face, its no wonder why the health conscious are turning to natural forms of skin care. They are cost efficient and lack the harsh chemicals, dyes and fillers most of your favorite products have buried in the labels. Common chemicals like Parabens, Sodium laurel sulfate and Phthalates with un-beauty related purposes for things such as "preservatives" and "texture of product" Not only are these chemicals unrelated to the effectiveness of the product, they are hazardous to your skin and your health.

As a women with fairly sensitive skin, I find that using certain cleansers and moisturizers would not only irritate me but would create a whole new issue i had to deal with like drying out my skin or making it too oily. In my quest to find the the best products to use on my skin with out busting my budget or spending hours in the beauty isle, I've turned to the one place with ingredients that are complete safe for your skin and to EAT... 


The KITCHEN!


Milk, aloe, sugar, honey and oatmeal the 5 ingredients I used in 5 different recipes and treatments you can use that are natural and non irritating on the skin
Here are their benefits:



Milk- Contains Lactic Acid which helps unclog pores and leaves skin smooth


Aloe- treats acne scars, anti inflammatory & anti bacterial and anti fungal. 


Sugar- Helps hypdrate skin, great exfoliant.


Honey- Anti Bacterial, soothes skin, restores damaged skin, and a natural cleanser.


Oatmeal- repairs and heals damaged skin, sunburn relief, and exfoliates.




Lets Get Started...

How to Restore Old Strip Eyelashes.

I know you have them collected in the bottom of your makeup box and if your anything like me their stashed in the bathroom cabinet. scaring everyone who encounters them..
..BIG.. Scary.. 

TARANTULAS!


Lol.. No I'm talking about EYELASHES. Strip eyelashes to be exact. They frame the eyes lovely and gives any droopy eyes the "I'm awake look". They come in many different styles to cater to anyones personal taste. They're fairly easy to apply, with practice and can take any look to the next level. 
Most women usually get about 2 to 4 wears out of their strip lashes before they either have mascara making them clumpy, lash glue build up, eyeshadow fallout, or are bent out of shape from sleeping in them. When you spend a little more for them like the ones you buy in Ricky's or Sephora (that cost anywhere from $5 to 20$) you might not want to trash them as quickly as the ones you do that are a little less costly and if your a cost conscious shopper like myself then you naturally want a few more wears out of your lashes for your money.
So this is my solution to clumpy raggedy lashes.  


Grab your clumpy old lashes like these and lets get started.
