Shellac, Independence, and Aztec


These first little fingers belong to my favorite little girl Bentlee! 6 years old and loves to get her nails done!
Her mom does hair at the same salon that I worked at. So we did Shellac on her, 3 different colors and designs on half of them.  

 Next we have lovely Independence Day Nails! Blue and Red with white paint. Yes I did paint on those stars and stripes! 

These Nails are probably one of my favorite solid nails that I have ever done! These hands belong to my Long time Friend Kylie Lee. We did solid purple and blue nails and painted AZTEC designs on them. They turned out so cute! Love them!

Color Whisper by Maybelline!?!?!

EVERYONE!! Listen up! 
I am here to tell you about Color Whisper by Maybelline 
  I would not recommend this to anyone!

 First off, Yes it is very soft on the lips with no waxy feeling like they say in the commercials but that is the only good part! 

The color I chose was the darkest red/maroon and obviously it is not that color when I put it on my lips. I was super disappointed at that.

But the worst part about this lipstick is that it is so moist that it spreads! I goes into every indent/crack that is around my lips. This makes my  lipstick job look super messy! So annoying!

I hope these pictures let you see what I am talking about. 
Ugh its so Ugly! 
 What a mess right!

So I hope you all take note to NEVER buy Color Whisper lipstick!
Learn from my mistake! 

Double Side Braid...

This Double Side Braid is super easy! 
Its good for any lazy day!


Braid front of hair down to the side and secure it with an elastic.







Braid the back of the hair around the head and meet the other braid. 




Braid them together and secure with an elastic



Wallah!  <3

Getting Pretty!!

WARNING- some pictures might be frightening to look at!! 
I just wanted to show ho much make-up can help everyone look their best! 
                             Before                                After 

So I start out with no make-up right out of the shower... oh so pretty (not) I put some moisturizer on to moisten my face :)
FYI: I waxed my eyebrows the night before so that is why it is a little red. 

I add some light Foundation to my  cheeks, top of nose, center of four head, and chin. 

Then I add darker foundation to my cheek bones, sides of nose, under chin/neck, sides of four head, and the temple areas. (bad pictures,cant tell very much) 

Its not very noticeable but I add a lighter foundation under my eyes and in the corners.   

I then add a nude eye shadow to my whole eye. (lid and up to the eyebrow) 

Then I use dark brow eyeliner(I know weird but its what I had and it works)  to darken and shape my eyebrows

Then I add white eye shadow to my eyelid. 

I also add just a tiny bit of brown/grey eye shadow to the outside edge just above my eye in the crease. I don't make it dark, just very light for the more natural look. 

Eyeliner is next. I always do my bottom first! Make it thin but noticeable. If I have learned anything about make-up its that it  DOES NOT have to be perfect! :)


Then Top eyeliner. Again thin but noticeable! I like to bring the sides of the eyeliner together and out a but to make my eyes look a bit bigger.   


Next (it might sound weird) I add white eye shadow (can use eyeliner but again this is what I had and it works) to my water line. If you don't know what this is its the part of the lower eye. Its above they eyelashes and it kinda seems like its a shelf that touches your eye ball. I do this to make my eyes look bigger! 

Eyelash Curler is next! I hold it on for 10 sec. then open and close continuously moving out word so that I can get every part of the lash to curl and not just one spot.  
                            Before                                          After
     
                                                   After 

Next comes Mascara! I only have one rule on mascara, ONLY 1 or 2 layers on the bottom lashes, but go ahead and go CRAZY on the top lashes. I say this because I see too many girls with super thick eyelashes on the bottom and it does not look good ladies!  
Top First. 

Then bottom. (I don't think it really matters which one is first.) 

Then I take my white eye shadow again and put it in the inside corners of my eyes, on the outside corner under my eyeliner and right below my eyebrows. This is another trick to make my eyes look bigger and pop! 


Next is Hair. 

Wet hair.... 

Dry hair. That's better! :)

 Then I think... How do I want to do my hair today?...

Strait with a bend at the ends! (beautiful)

Next come my favorite thing of all! (after I brush my teeth) Lipstick!!

I usually have a dark burgundy color. Its my fav! (but I have like 10 different colors.)

Final Product! 
Finally Pretty! :) The only thing I do next is pick my outfit and get dressed! 

I hope you enjoyed me getting ready for the day. 
Everyone deserves to feel beautiful EVERY DAY!
