I have been dying to use my new Wet & Wild Holiday palettes but since I've been working so much I haven't had the chance. This past weekend my family wanted to go get our Christmas tree and I wanted a cute holiday look to wear out.

I pulled out "Night Elf & Snow Sprite" which were the two I wanted to use the most. I have a thing for dramatic looks ;) Anyway, I loved how this came out, it was super Christmasssy and Tulio loved the red lip. The crease and red didn't come out to harsh so I think anyone can really rock this look. It's a very sexy smokey eye and the Green/Brown eyeshadow in the "Night Elf" palette is a awesome dupe for MAC's Club eyeshadow. I might even think it's better. I barely have to touch it to pick it up on my brush.

I've been loving Wet & Wild lately, and I think more people need to give them a chance again. Seriously, I think it's catching on cause people have trouble finding these holiday palettes all over the place!! I hope they continue to come out with holiday palettes, I have been loving the colors and who needs MAC when you have something way affordable and more pigmented!!

Let me know what you think! Thank you! Happy Holidays to you!

Christmas Tutorial feat. Momma G!! (Recreation)





Momma G aka Angeec03 from Youtube asked the other day if she could do a tutorial based on a look I did recently for a Christmas inspired look. Her looks are always amazing, and her blending is awesome!

I was so honored to have her do it, since I've been her fan & subscriber since she started doing Youtube tutorials. She is talented and has a beautiful family. I love her more for showing that side of her as well, and she keeps it honest which is thumbs up for me! I also like the fact she uses all types of products, and not just sticks to higher end items. I suggest you check her out if you didn't, she is also a Bay Area native just like me!


Please check out the video below and let me know your comments!

FAST GREEN (Christmas Tree GREEN)

Excuse the hair, and the face. I came right out the shower and didn't bother. We were in a hurry to go to the store to pick up items for dinner. I literally did this eyeshadow look in 5 minutes! I have been loving my Urban Decay Book of Shadows II. It really was worth its $48. I really do love this palette and use it often. I also wanted to use my MAC "Swimming" as well. I have two of them (buying another by accident lol) but glad I did because it came out sooo beautiful and pigmented. This look is super easy, and not so fancy... but a nice look for something quick ;D


Eyes:
Heavenly Naturals eye primer

MAC eyeshadow in "Swimming" (tear ducts, lid to middle & mirrored on lower lashline)

NYX eyeshadow single in "Algae" (middle of lid to crease & mirrored on lower lashline)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in "Misdemeanor" (to darken crease & mirrored on lower lashline)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in "Perversion" (outer v to darken)

NYX eyeshadow single in "Nude" (brow highlight)

Prestige eyeliner in "Marble" (waterline)

Blush:
Motives blush in "Porcelain Doll"

Lips:
Motives lip liner in "Nude"
Sally Hansen lip lacquer in "Ginger #20"
