Quick Look: Sunset Eyes using Milani Runway Eyes palette

I have several Milani Runway Eyes palettes. I'm working on getting the entire collection. Only 3 left to go. I created this gorgeous look with the Milani Runway Eyes 10 Haute Couture palette. I'm calling it ...

Sunset Eyes..... (So original, right.)

Lets get to it!

After priming my eyes with my E.L.F. Primer, I chipped a bit of the lighter purple(1) color into my E.L.F. Makeup Lock & Seal container, added a few drops to make the purple creamier and give it a bit of added pizzazz. I applied this all over the lid all the way up to the lower crease.

Next I added the pink(2) to the upper crease blending slightly into the light purple. I kept this color dry for easier blending.

Once that was done I applied the white(3) highlight color to the brow bone and inner tear duct area.

The beautiful gold color(4) came next. I lightly applied this just under the brow highlight and blended into the pink(2) to create a slight coral color. Then, wetting my brush a bit, I applied it to the center of the lid leaving the light purple(1) showing above and on both sides. I also applied it to the inside lash line just 1/4 of the way across.

I applied the darker purple(5) to the outer edge of the lid to deepen the look and tone it down.

Finally, I used the green(6) on the lower lash line blending it into the gold(4) and winging it out on the end.

I finished this look off with a thin line of plum colored liquid liner on the top lid and applied my white Wet n Wild liner to the waterline. After applying a few coats of my Avon SuperShock Max mascara and using my Milani Brow Fix kit to define my eyebrows, the look was complete.

Let me know what you think! Leave your comments below or email me your looks using this palette.

Hope you like it.

Quick Look: Messy bun tutorial

Sometimes I just don't feel like doing anything with my hair. Sometimes even brushing it seems like too much to do. Everyone has days like this. The days where you have to go somewhere but don't really feel like getting ready. My solution.... A messy bun. It's the quickest and the easiest look to create in literally less than 5 minutes! Here's a quick, spur of the moment tutorial on how to get this effortless look.

Step 1: Begin with a large sized hairbun. You can buy one from any accessory store or you can make one. I've made a few using two of my husband's thicker black socks and I'm currently using the one pictured here. (My husband won't let me use his socks anymore ;) ) The key is to get one matching your hair color.

Step 2: Without using a hairbrush, put your hair in a loose ponytail and put your ponytail through the hairbun.

Step 3: Bring the bun up to the end of your ponytail and begin rolling your hair downward.

Step 4: As you roll your hair, gradually spread it around the hairbun and tuck your hair as you roll. Once you've reached the end, secure the bun with a few bobby pins and spray it with hairspray. Do not smooth out any fly always or bumps.

The Finished Look: A messy looking bun that is trendy and effortless and best of all it takes almost no time to do!

I wore mine with natural looking makeup, boho style wooden earrings, an oversized sweater, black leggings and riding boots.

It was put together look that was cozy and warm yet presentable. A great weekend look for winter.

Nailed it!

Well everyone, my computer is broken again so I blog to you today from my iPhone. I'm really hoping this works because I have some amazing segments coming your way but first things first, my newest "Nailed It" segment. I had been looking at this style on Pinterest for a while now and liked it but never thought to try it. Yesterday, when I watched the tutorial titled "Not Just A Ponytail" from The Small Things blog I said to myself Kat, today is the day! So here it goes...

What it's supposed to look like in blonde.

I took mine (brunette) 1 step further and did a single thick braid down my back. I got quite a few compliments on it and the result was a simple elegant look great for a day at the office.

I really hope you try this look for yourself and create your own spin on it as well. Send me your pics. I would love to see the variations you will create.
