Step-by-step eye make-up! using all drugstore make-up!


Hello All! My friend reqested that i do a step by step eye make up titoral. I only used 4 drugstore products, and all products i would highly reccomend!! so lets get started! 


Products listed from top to bottom:
* wet N wild color icon eyeshadow collection in Comfort Zone $4.99
*Loreal voluminous false fiber lashes in Black $8.49
*ELF mineral eyeshadow primer $3.00
*maybelline master drama eyeliner in Midnight Master $6.49


Use an eyeshadow primer from eyelid up to your brow. Rub in well.  






You can use any eyeshadow brush or aplicator that you like. I used the "eyelid" color from this pallette but any light to medium shade will work. Pack the color all over the eye lid.



            
Take the lightest shade in the palette or any light shade and highlight the inner corner of your eye (tear-duct) and highlight your brow bone right under your eye brow.


Take a dark crease shade with a smaller contour brush.





















Put the dark crease color in your eyelid crease using a "windshield wiper motion"
Take a fluffy blending brush to use the same motion to blend dark crease color so you cant see any lines. Blend until you like the results, you can always go back and add more dark if you blend too much.


















Take the same dark crease shade and an angled brush and line under the lower eye lashes.





















Line the water line with eyeliner and apply mascara.




















The end!

If you have any requests or questions just let me know!

FIRST POST! and holiday nails!

Hello all!!!!! 
SO! i have been wanting to start a blog for awhile now due to the crazy amount of love i have for all things BEAUTY. Im talking Hair, Make-up, nails, skin care... you name it! its my passion and my love and i want to share that with you. Its impossible for me to relay all the great products, tips, and trends i know and learn about to all of you so i think this is the best way for me to do that.
"millsy" my good friend Angie has been telling me to do this for sometime now and i am just now taking the time to start! so here i go! :-)

Sally Hasen salon effects nail polish strips 
these guys are one of my absolute favorites! they look awesome, with a top coat they last 14 days or more! and they are so easy to put on!!!!!!! but what i am really excited about is they have come out with limited edition holiday designs and i LOVE them! 

Here is what i have on now...


Here is some of the other holiday desgins they have out now...


i got mine at CVS for $8

and the whole standard collection:


*bigest advice for these are to put 2 coats of top coat on, the directions do no specify that. without a top coat they only lasted a few days*

Check them out for sure! :-) 

thanks for reading.
