Spring/Summer Makeup Look

Hello my beautiful Stars, I hope this post finds you well! I am back to making videos again and I am going to start sharing them on my blog.  This video is a really nice, subtle, spring and summer makeup look.   For my eyeshadow I used the Vice Palette, I believe it's the Vice 3, and the Noir black eye liner.  If you like this video, please be sure to head over to my YouTube channel (linked below) and hit that subscribe button- I'd love to have you! XOXO

Butter London Lippy in Jaffa- REVIEW

 Hello my lovelies! It's officially spring which means that we can start to wear bright colors again- YAY! One of the first things I pulled out of my many makeup cases was a Butter London Lippy that I had bought back in the summer/fall.  Because of the wretched weather in Missouri, I didn't get to wear it very long but now the sun is back and shining bright, which means we can get out our favorite corals, bright pinks, and whatever bright color you love to wear on your lips.  Here is my review of this particular Butter London Lippy!

Welcome to Gilligan's Island!

The other day, Dawn Wells came to Stephens to film part of the 50th anniversary documentary for Gilligan's Island.  She played Mary Ann on the tv show, but she is also a Stephens woman who was a part of our theatre department.  Before she started filming the first few interviews with the three people who volunteered first she was just chatting with us, and SHE COMMENTED ME ON MY EYE SHADOW AND MAKEUP!

I did very simple base makeup, so I won't go into that. Even though my eye shadow isn't as bright and colorful as usual but it still used some colors that I had never tried before.  I used a peach color all over my lid that had just the slightest hint of sparkle in it and then for the outer corners, half the way across the crease, and right up against my top lashes until half way I used a coppery color.  It wasn't as coppery as copper pots and pans, but it is in the copper family.  Plus, it's FINALLY becoming spring/ summer and I thought these colors really helped to wrap those two seasons into one.  The eye shadows I used were from the BH Cosmetics 120 Color Palette 3rd Edition.  I tried to keep my eyes simple, but still with a pop, and to look professional because in this business- Appearance is one quarter of landing a job, two quarters is your connections, and then one quarter is your talent.  The theatre majors who went to this event looked nice and professional, so as to be taken seriously.

What do you guys think of this look? Yay or Nay? Would you try something in this color family like this? XOXO
