Back to School Makeup Tutorial using Drugstore Products

I know that some of you guys has already started school, but I know that some have not yet. With being said; I want to bring my look that I would wear to either the first day of high school or college, but what better way to do that than with makeup that is affordable. Let's face it in high school I had a job but wasn't enough to buy MAC and the other high end I can afford today. Technically it's the same with college, tuition, books, parking passes, food, & everything else that is crucial to survive.

LHHATL Season 2 Reunion || Joseline Hernandez

Hey Guys,

I was completely blown away by Joseline's makeup this season, but I didn't know I would end up recreating one of the looks. So if you been keeping up with the show, you would know the look I'm about to show you guys. It's actually my fave look from her thus far, and it's the one she wore at the reunion. Now with this blog post I'm going to do something different, because from photos and T.V. the look varied. Lighting sometimes can be a ***** and confuse a girl. So I did two looks each catering to the different views I seen, though I only recorded one tutorial. So I hope you enjoy this little spin. Im going to start off with the look that wasn't recorded. (btw I will not be able to fully explain every detail, only because I had no intentions to post it!)

Smokey Green Eyes with Orange Lips

Hey Loves,

I was inspired to do a wearable but fun look by pairing a bold eye with bright lips. I feel a lot of people are afraid, so they play it safe. NOT ME! Makeup is fun and it's about taking risk. Back to the the makeup look at hand, I always thought orange and green paired well. So, why not take that step forward and make a look out of it.

Tropical Apple Makeup Tutorial

 Hello my loves!

I'm back once again with a Tutorial for ya, and this one isn't for the faint of heart! This time I wanted to have fun and create a look that was packed with drama, though it didn't start that way. I initially intended to have a light champagne color on the lid, but quickly changed my mind when I found the lime green color in my collection. I've had it for quite some time now, but allowed it to collect dust. I know! Shame on me, right?! A beautiful color as this shouldn't be wasted! In fact, the reason I made my order to Zana Cosmetics was because of this specific color. I solemnly swear to never neglect this color AGAIN. Well here is the video explaining how I created this look!



Products Mentioned:
UDPP in Eden
Nyx Eyeshadow base in White
La Femme Blush in Fuchsia (used as transition color and blush)
Sugarpill eyeshadow in Poison Plum
Inglot Rainbow eyeshadow in #110R
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Blackout
Zana Cosmetics eyeshadow in Tropical Apple
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Verve
Wet N Wild Vanity Palette : Cream color used as a brow highlight and to set my concealer, Matte Brown used to contour, Shimmery Cream color was used to highlight my cheekbones (who says you need a bunch of products to get the job done.)
NYC Precision liner in Black
Creme Lashes #76
Benefit They're Real Mascara
 Covergirl Queen All Day Flawless Foundation in Almond Glow
Maybelline FitMe Concealer in 30 Cafe
NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer in 787 Medium
MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW45
MAC Heroine Lipliner
MAC Violetta Lipstick



 

I only wish my camera could have picked up how gorgeous and bright this color is! I hoped you enjoyed!

xoxo, Jen
