Easy Smokey Eyes

One thing that people always asked me to do and/or teach them is the coveted smokey eye. There seems to be a notion that this needs to be some complex thing, which many different products but that's not the case. The one thing you need to know when trying to achieve the look, you don't have to use black shadow and always use a light hand so you don't end up with racon eyes.

Here is the look and the products that I used. So if you are interested in learning how I achieved this look then just jump behind the link.

I think about you in the summer time ...

    Hello, Summer! It is so lovely to see you, I do hope you stick around for awhile. Who doesn't love the summer? The heat, tanned skin, cool pools, beach and of course the fun makeup! I decided to start off the summer I'm going to show you my favourite summer lipsticks that I'll be grabbing for the next few months. I'm into really bright and in your face "woah" lipsticks. If you're going to do it, now is the time.

The Truth About Naked

    Who doesn't love a good neutral eye? Who doesn't crave for that perfect neutral pallet that can become your go to? I sure do! As the years have progressed and I've gotten older, I seem to be always reach for my neutral colours and luckily for me I have all three of Urban Decay's naked pallets. I remember all the hype when the original Naked was released, that damn thing was sold out EVERYWHERE. I even went on a waiting list to purchase it when it came back. And of course I loved the thing but then Urban Decay unveiled that surprise surprise they were going to come out with a Naked 2. And of course everyone rushed out to buy the new "cool toned" Naked, myself included. And then they followed the rose gold hype that everyone was on and came out with their Naked 3. Don't get me wrong, there are some real winners in these three pallets. Do I need all three? Definitely not. My hand always reaches for one out of the three and its not like its more accessible, they all sit in the same spot in my vanity. 







     So lets look a little closer and see which one you should actually spend your money on. All swatches are done without a primer and are taken outdoors in natural light. 


Hello my name is ...

     For years and years I've toyed with the idea of starting up my very own blog and always shut down the idea because really who is going to read it? Then one day decided you know what? Who the heck cares! 

    Hello, my name is Monique and I have an unhealthy obsession with anything beauty and I know I can't be the only one. I'm just a normal 24 year old who probably spends a little too much on makeup than she should and spends way too much time playing around with it. So I think it's time that I make some use out of it. I am by no means a professional makeup artist, sure I will make someone up from time to time but everything I do is self taught. And everything I will post on here will be 100% by opinion and bought by me. So please, stick around lets have some fun!
