A Holiday Look feat. Wet & Wild Cosmetics

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!

Love Story Collection by Heavenly Natural Beauty (Review & Swatches)

Wearing: Heavenly Natural Beauty "Love Story" collection pigments in "Kisses, Nectar, Romance, Flush, & Kiss and Tell". "Blushing 10" on cheeks, Revlon "Fushia" lipstick & NYX "Gold Pink" Lipgloss on top.

UGH! I can't wait to get a better camera. I say this because the photos clearly don't show the beauty of each of these pigments. I really can't wait to show the real colors in a YouTube tutorial. I couldn't wait to try this gorgeous collection once Rene' told me about it and I was honored for her to send me both parts for review and swatches. She also said to always provide a honest review since it's great to hear feed back. I love that because constructive criticism makes people grow.

You will probably see me doing a lot more YouTube tutorials coming up in the future using these. I know not everyone has these, but seriously once I find a product I love & is easy to use.. I use it often. I always rave about Heavenly Naturals since I found the company a few years ago. I'm always impressed with Rene's pigments and affordability. I'm always the kind of girl who wants more for less and really when I drop $50 dollars I get amazing amount of products.

I was still loving her latest collections (Peacock & Iridescence) Look forward to tuts with those too! This new collection is just as worth it. Each color is so gorgeous and original. It's not flat like some colors you can buy. Flat colors are great but I love original multi-dimensional pigments. Take for instance "Captured", when I first saw the color in the jar it looks GREEN! but really it comes off green-purple and is amazzzzing!! Tulio loves color just as much as I do, since we are both artists and he loves to paint. I love to show him pigments when they come in to compare. Each time he always says "Rene's pigments are the best colors you've got" and he's right. Seriously.. awesome product and originality. That means a lot in a market with all the same products.

I really can't say anything bad about these pigments. Each jar comes individually plastic wrapped for safety. There is a stiffer and sticker stopper on the stiffer to stop fallout. Jars are clear to see each pigment color clearly. She also placed the name & ingredients on each of the jar lids. There isn't any mattes in this collection, and I figured so with the name being "Love Story" .. you gotta have glittery colors! Each color is extremely blendable and easy to apply. You won't have any issue pairing up any of these colors together. As you can see from a few of my looks posted I combined each parts of the collections and they look amazing! you can really come up with some awesome color combos, just as original as her pigments.

I highly suggest you check out these collections and her previous collections to this for the Holiday's. They are affordable, long lasting, original, amazing and you get tons of product even in the samples!

Pink Valentine's Day Look

Hey loves!! I made a quick pink smokey eye for you in time for Vday. I know there are 6565496565325181365 videos on youtube right now for tutorials lol so I decided to keep it sweet and simple.

I really love this "Heart Breaker" pigment by HN. It's so gorgeous in person. It looks flat and white on the pictures.. but in person the duo chrome is fabulous. It's a light pinkish/sparkle/iridescent color and very original. I don't think I have a color close to this. It really is beautiful in the sun.

Again, I'm using Sigma Makeup eyeshadow in "Indian Girl". I really do love this color it works with everything and just like MAC eyeshadow "Satin Taupe" it's perfect for smokey eyes.

I hope to do some more looks and do this live Thursday night for all of you! Please let me know your thoughts!


What I used:

Eyes:
Heavenly Naturals Duo tone pigment in "Heart breaker" (tear ducts & mirrored on lower lash line)
Ben Nye eyeshadow in "Azalea" (middle of lid to outer v blended up and mirrored on lower lash line)
MAC Stately Black (crease and outer v area over Azalea but not to much, just to get a little pink to pop through)
Sigma Makeup eyeshadow in "Indian Girl" (under brow highlight)
NYX eyeshadow in "Black" (to darken crease)
Heavenly Naturals pigment in "Vanilla Crush" (brow highlight)

Cheeks:
Heavenly Naturals blush in " Blushing 10"

Holiday Party look featuring Brenda & I

First of all, isn't my friend beautiful!! Uhhh can you say jealous much? lol her skin is flawless, I had to use no liquid foundation, just concealer, and a buff of powder. AND her brows! sooo nice! But ughhh.. good genes help! You should see her mother! she looks like 30 years old! I was fortunate to get long lashes but pores of comet holes lmao!! anyway...

As you all know, I do schedule appointments for makeup jobs for all types of events. My girl friend Brenda was going to a Holiday party for her work and wanted to look extra special.

She bought this dress ( But her's was sleeveless) from Torrid. It was so cute! So I wanted to pair of a hot Magenta lip to stick out from the black and white. I wanted to do more of a pink bright lip, then a red lip. I figured many girls would be doing a red lip, but I still wanted her to stand out. I still gave her the option to try both, but in the end we both knew the hot magenta lip was it! I also didn't want her to apply the lipstick (I'm wearing below) till she got there. I like to have my clients have a fresh lip, if they can when they show up to the event. So that's why we don't have a picture of her in the hot lip. I did the same look that day so I could have a try and fell in love with the colors I used on her.I also did her eyeshadow a light color to focus more on the hot lip.

I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions or booking hit me up at queenbmakeup@gmail.com
