I'M BAAAAAACK.

I just wanted to let all you lovely ladies know that I'm back after a long hiatus. I am going to commit to making more youtube videos. So feel free to check me out HERE !

Going Crazy for Halloween

I know this is a late look, but I still wanted to share with you guys! Since Halloween was on a school night for me, I stayed in and passed out candy! Even though I stayed in, I still felt the spirit of Halloween so I came up with a smokey look for the occasion. This look can be done with any colors! Hope you guys enjoy!

The reason I chose green and purple was because of the shirt I wore! Bought this skeleton shirt at Walmart (found in the boys sections for $4.88!)

Products used:

Base - Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Audacious Asphalt

ELF Palette - Green and purple MATTE colors. Used skin tone color to blend.

Covergirl Concealer Stick for highlight

ELF Gel Liner

Ebay Lashes

Nothing gets better than GOLD

I came out with a going out look that's slightly different from the usual gold smokey eye, I always tend to go with. It has a 3-d type look! Hope you guys enjoy!

I added a smokey-ness to the inside corner and finished it on the outside corner also. I also deepened the crease by adding the black lightly to it. Focused the gold on the center of my eye lid! Hope you enjoy. Products used listed below!

Mac's Painterly Pot - Soft Ocre

Maybelline's Color Tattoo - Bold Gold

Naked 2 Palette - Half Baked (Center Lid), Blackout & Busted (Crease, Outer Corner, Inner Corner), Foxy (Highlight)

ELF - Gel Liner

Ebay lashes

Settle yet BOLD smokey eye look

Please ignore my shininess! This picture was taken at the end of the night. Just thought I'd share this look since I loved it so much! Definitely a new go-to look for me!

I wanted to do a quick post on this eye look from the other night! I've really been into the smokey eye lately, but in different colors! All that was used for this look was Maybelline's Color Tattoo Rich Mahogany (from the Fall '12 collection) and a skin tone eyeshadow was used to smoke out the look. (I did add a smidge of black to my outter corner crease to give depth to my eyes.) For my highlight, I just used a light concealer ... which also perfected the brows! This look is great for a casual night out or date night with the girls! Feeling extra bold? I'd definitely wear this look during the day! I love bold makeup, but this is a toned down version for me! Hope you guys enjoy!

NEW PRODUCT ALERT: MAYBELLINE'S THE COLOSSAL VOLUM' EXPRESS, CAT EYES

I'm soooo happy to share this new product with you guys! We all know I'm a falsie fanatic, but this mascara amazes me! I've been seeing commercials like crazy for the new Colossal Volum' Express, which claims to give a more cat eye effect. Not sure if it's true with the cat eye effect, only because I don't have long or full lashes, I have the exact opposite. But this product worked WONDERS for my dinky Asian eyelashes. Of course, I had to get it in waterproof to hold my curl, but I don't regret this random buy! ONLY $5 AT WAL-MART!

I know my eyelashes are still pretty dinky, but this is like amazing for how my eyelashes really look. They're thin  and short. IT SUCKS! But this mascara did the MOST! 

Halloween Attempt #1: Candy Skull/Day of the Dead Look

I wanted to venture out into something totally different for Halloween this year! I've really been into candy skulls and just skulls in general lately. I came up with this really simple look of a candy skull. This was only my first attempt. If I do end up doing this look, I will add more detail to it. Let me know what you guys think!

Hint: Instead of using white face paint, I used a pale foundation. The rest of the products I used were things I already had in my collection. And I used yellow/gold around my eye instead of having my eye completely blacked out.

Additions: I plan to ombre the petals around my eye from the black to dark blue to the turquoise. And maybe add sequence inside the petals. 

FALL COLLECTIONS - OH, MAYBELLINE

I just wanted to let you guys know I finally got my hands on three more of the Maybelline Color Tattoo Limited Edition colors. On the left side! The dark brown is RICH MAHOGANY, the top color is BARELY BEIGE, and the golden color is GOLD SHIMMER. 

The Rich Mahogany is a beautiful dark brown for the crease or outer corner. To get the full pigmentation, you will need to put a thick layer. My favorite out of the bunch is Barely Beige, it's great as a highlight or all over the lid. It does come out more white and shimmery on my lid, but when I do wipe my fingers, it does show up beige on the tissue. The Gold Shimmer is much more golden than Bold Gold. Definitely worth the money! These Color Tattoo's by Maybelline are one of my top drugstore products, if not the top product.

CVS had the three colors, while Target had the other two and the brighter colors of the collection.

Color the World

I came up with a very settle eye look with some new products I grabbed. I used the new Maybelline Color Tattoo in Fuchsia Fever as a base with a magenta color from the ELF 100 Color Palette with a purple on the outer corner. I tried to keep it settle since I'm just trying out colors. I wish the base had a better consistency because it took a few layers of the product to get an even color, but never the less, I still love the Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio. Hope you guys enjoy!

Splurging on some new things before school...

Who doesn't love DRUGSTORE products that work amazingly?!

Never Can Go Wrong with Gold

Bold Gold of Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection all over the lid. Matte  Brown for the crease. Matte highlight.

I'm about to start school again! That only means early morning classes and less time to get dolled up! This is my default look for the day or night time. (Only difference is at night I usually do a darker smokey look with an addition of black). The Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Bold Gold or even Bad to the Bronze is a quick way to turn up your everyday makeup look! What's so great about these colors is that they're perfect for any season! As we are transitioning into fall, the matte brown gives the soft look, while the gold is self explanatory BOLD GOLD! This quick look allows me to have a full eye look in a matter of seconds! These cream eyeshadows by Maybelline are probably one of my TOP products in my makeup collection.

I absolutely love these Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows! I use them practically everyday whether it's alone or as a base. Some say they compare to the Paint Pots by Mac, but unfortunately I've never tried any except Ocre (since I use that as a eye shadow primer). But I find the Maybelline collection to be absolutely amazing! They have also released a new Fall 2012 LIMITED Edition collection. Which I cannot wait to try, I've only gotten my hands on two of the colors.

Two of the Eight new colors of the Fall 2012 Limited Edition Collection!

Luminous Makeup Look!

(my luminous makeup look only using products I already have!)

I know right now the bright luminous look is really popular and I am also a huge fan of a luminous look. Unfortunately because I have oily skin, most illuminating makeup products will only make my skin look more oily. I've heard amazing things about Maybelline's Lumi collection! Wish I could give it a try, but here I came up with this look using regular products I already have.

The picture above is the new luminous look while the picture below shows my usual makeup routine.

(regular makeup look)

As you can tell, I have gotten a bit darker due to the sunny rays down here in Southern California, but none the less, you can easily tell the luminous effect with my makeup. The trick is to use a yellow undertone concealer to brighten up the highlighting features on your face. After I had complete my foundation routine before using a translucent powder, I went and applied the concealer on the middle of my forehead above my eyebrows, down the bridge of my nose, brow bone (where you would usually put a highlight eyeshadow), on my under eyes (in an upside down triangle), a bit on my cupid's bow and chin. Using a foundation brush, I blended the yellow undertone concealer to those areas and applied my translucent powder all over my face. After I lightly applied a hint of highlight, but not too much since my has glitter flex in it. Then finishing my face with my bronzer (to warm up and contour) and a small amount of blush. I'd be more than happy to make a video of how I achieved this look, please let me know! (my youtube channel is heytiffy92) The products used for my luminous makeup look will be listed below.

Loreal Paris Studio Secrets Primer
Urban Decay's Urban Defense in Body Guard

Ombre Trend

Ombre is a huge trend right now! So I wanted to give it a try with a makeup look. What better to try than ombre lipstick?! Used a red lip liner and a hot pink lipstick, followed by two lighter pink lipsticks while layering towards the center. To finish the look, I dabbed shimmer white eyeshadow in the center of my lips! What do you think? Wearable? I love it! Great way to dress up your makeup look this summer!

Wore this look out last night for a girl's night out with my best friend. It's already a bit worn out because these pictures were taken at the end of the night. I'd be happy to do a tutorial if you guys would like! I'd also love to see your guys' going out looks!

Everyday/Going-Out Look!

You can darken the crease to transition it to be more dramatic for going out. You're probably thinking OH NO... ANOTHER SMOKEY EYE LOOK! ... I can not get enough of smokey eyes because of my eye shape, it's easier to get away with these looks. Feel free to send requests for other looks!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Kicking spring looks into high gear now! I wanted to look a bit dressy for my last day of lectures today! Dressed up my floral tank top from the Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls with a pale pink blazer from Forever21. Stacking bracelets is so popular now. Mixed pearls with some gold bangles and a neon yellow pyramid bracelet, which seemed to match my tank top perfectly! Threw in some green eyeliner to my eye look to complete the whole look. Used a glittery pink to buff out the colors with a brown in the crease and of course has Too Cool from the Color Tattoo collection by Maybelline.

Purple Please -- Open eye look ...

Here's the look from the post "Purple Please" with my eyes open and in better lighting! Hope you enjoy!

With the Waves

A simple spring look today. Do a golden brown crease from my Warm Palette from Coastal Scents with a blue winged eyeliner. I used Clash from Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil for the winged eyeliner. I placed the blue eyeliner directly above my normal winged liner to give the eye more drama.
