Halloween Makeup

  I know this may be a few days old and I meant to get it up last week, but computer issues, once again. I'm sorry, I know, enough of the excuses. I'll get on with it. Below is the products I used on the makeup look that I wore for work on Halloween.(In order of application) A couple extra items I got were some $3 eye lashes that had black jewels on them and a bird necklace(not pictured). Super cute and appropriate.

  The reason I didn't list them step-by-step is because I didn't do anything really special. The only thing I feel like I could demonstrate how to do is eyeliner, which will be coming soon, and lipstick, which I do have a step-by-step post about from back in February. You should check it out!

QUICK TIP --Lip Shadowing

  So I have decided to start a thing called "Quick Tips". This will be like a normal blog but shorter, with less, but hopefully very helpful information. Today's will be lip shadowing.
  Like, I mentioned in my very first post, I love watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. It's basically a hobby of mine. And lately I have noticed a lot of "beauty gurus" and makeup professionals doing this type of technique in their routine if they're trying to make their lips look pouty or fuller, and that is shadowing right underneath their bottom lip. This essentially gives the lips a plump and rounder look.
  Below is a simple step-by-step of me showing you the technique. I figured this would be easier than typing it all out and you trying to figure out what I'm talking about. The bronzer I'm using is by Pur. Which also includes a highlighter!

              
  Also, excuse my appearance, I had just been running so I am kind of a mess. Oops!

Don't forget to add me on Instagram and Bloglovin'! Thanks guys. Have a great week!

My Sister's Lashes

  Yay! Finally a new post!
  So I have a little sister, her name is Allie. There are a few things I envy about her, her ability to stay motivated and work on herself during hard, stressful times in her life, being spontaneous and able to jump up at a seconds notice to go on an adventure, and her eyelashes. She already has fairly long eye lashes but they tend to face down and have absolutely no curl; but the things she does to them makes them look extra long and voluminous.

  I asked her to get together the products and steps she takes when getting ready during the day, focusing on just her eyelashes, so I could share it with you guys!

Step 1: Curl lashes with your eyelash curling wand. **I have noticed Allie to also use a small heated curling wand too.
Step 2: TWO coats of the waterproof Lash Blast Volume by Covergirl
Step 3: Put a coat of mascara on the top of the lashes **Allie says this helps them stay curled all day long!

  These steps are super easy to follow! It clearly works well for Allie. Try it and send me feedback for how well it works for you!

  Coming up in the next few days will be my favorite products from June-August! Stay tuned and remember to follow me on Bloglovin' and Instagram. You can also follow Allie on instagram (@allieeev)
