Cotton Candy Inspired Look

Spring has Finally sprung and I'm trying my best to play around with more colors. I've also been craving something sweet and saw a picture of a cupcake topped with cotton candy and so I used this picture as inspiration.

 I don't have a bunch of crazy colors but I busted out my 88 palette that I got a few years ago that's been sitting in my makeup drawer, collecting dust. I also used 2 colors from the Wet 'n' Wild Lust Palette for this look. I hope you all like it!

The first picture above was taken with my iPhone 4s and I posted it to instagram. I'll try to post there first before I would post on my blog since it's easier. Do any of you guys have instagram? If so, you can follow me and vice versa.  My user name is Krystyles

Btw, I was thinking of getting one of the 120 palettes but considering there are  5 versions, I'd love to hear your opinions on which to get.

Anyways, I hope you all have a  great week!

Subtle St. Patrick's Day Makeup

I've been in such a neutral rut with makeup lately and since St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, why not paint my face green! Well, a small portion that is. This is something easy to wear without looking tacky especially if you plan on wearing a lot of green clothing. I didn't want to make it complicated so I just used some colors from my Shady Lady Palettes. I threw this look on real quick because I have a cold so please excuse the lack of pictures and sloppiness! Hope you like it!

Adele Grammy performance inspired makeup

Hey lovelies! Did any of you catch the Grammy awards on Sunday? I thought Adele rocked the stage. I'm a big fan of Adele as she is nothing short of pure talent and she is gorgeous!

 Ive been seeing all these tutorials pop up for Adele's red caret makeup but the makeup she wore during her performance for Rolling In The Deep stood out to me more. Probably because I'm used to smokey eyes and a softer lip. From what I interpreted, it looked like she was wearing a peachy/pink color on her lips. For her eyes it looked like she wore a cream color on lid, soft black on the outer corner and a taupe-ish/brown shadow for her crease. She also had some serious contouring below her cheek bones and from the looks of the pictures and videos, it seemed like she wasn't wearing any blush.

 I used the Naked 2 Palette for this look. I know it won't look exactly the same since I don't have a defined crease but here's my take on it. Hope you enjoy!

Valentine's Day look 4

Hey everyone! Here's my final look for Valentine's day. Not everyone has a significant other to spend Vday with so I went with something more colorful and bold with the eyes. I wouldn't wear this on a date since most guys I know aren't into all this colorful makeup but its definitely fun to wear on a night out with your girlfriends.

Unfortunately, my camera battery died so I wasn't able to get much pictures but you get the idea. BTW, excuse the 2nd day hair. I know it's a mess!

Valentine's Day Look 1: Tickled Pink

Hey everyone! I haven't posted any looks lately cause my eczema has been acting up on my left eye and is just barely clearing up. There's still a small lil patch lingering but i wanted to get this started. I decided to do a few looks that you can wear for Valentine's day or any day actually.

When I think of Valentines day, the color pink or red comes to mind. So for the first look, I chose to go with a soft pink look all around. Something sweet and feminine, Nothing too dramatic except for the lashes but even then Ive worn lashes more intense then the ones I'm wearing here.

theBalm haul & Black Friday sale

Hey everyone,  I thought I would share a haul with you. I've been on the look out for theBalm products at my local TJMaxx and Marshalls thanks to the blogging community. I found the Luminizer duo and the Shady Lady palettes for 19.99 and 12.99.  I was so excited to find them at such a great price. As for the blushes and bronzer, I got a deal on Plum District for $40 worth of products for $20 with free shipping but i was able to snatch this deal for only $5 thanks to a halloween special they had. Plum District is like Groupon or Living Social catered or geared towards moms. 

If you don't have a Marshalls or TJMaxx near you and still want to get a good deal on any of theBalm products, theBalm is having a 40% off sitewide with code BLACKFRIDAY, begins 9AM PST and ends at 11:59PM PST. Whats even better is I noticed they do free domestic shipping in the U.S.

So check it out. I've been using the Mary-Lou Manizer everytime I do my makeup. I'm quite impressed with everything I've gotten and their packaging is cute! If you would like swatches, just let me know =) 


Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
