Happy Monday Guys, and what a better way to start off the week than with a make up tutorial done by yours truly =). Although the video shows exactly how I did everything, I would still like to do a written tutorial, you know, just because.
Tools Used:
EOS Lip Balm in Summerfruit
NARS Lipliner in Amazon
NARS Lipstick in Fire Down Below
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Syracuse
Step 1: Make sure to exfoliate lips prior to applying lip color. You can use a dry rag to wipe off the flakiness.
Step 2: After exfoliating, apply lip balm to lips ahead of time or if not just make sure before applying lip balm to wipe off any feeling of waxiness and any excess product.
Step 3: Now is the time to apply your lip primer or just dab a bit of foundation on your lips to provide a nude flesh toned base.
Step 4: Apply your liner with a steady hand tracing over your natural lip line and ever so slightly shade in your lip so lipstick can adhere and last longer.
Step 5: Apply lipstick by sliding bullet back and forth across bottom lip being careful to not go outside the line.
Step 6: Take either a lip brush or simply use your finger to apply color to the top lip. Do not blot.
Step 7: Take liner and trace over lip line once more to perfect your pout.
Step 8: (Optional) Take a red colored or clear lip gloss and apply lightly to lips with either a lip brush or your fingers. Now your gorgeous and ready to go !

Mother Monster Has Done it Again...
TGIF Lovelies, and what a more wonderful way to enjoy the upcoming weekend with the new world premiere of Lady Gaga's new video "Born This Way". The video premiered this morning at 6am Eastern Standard TM and was worth wiping the crust out your eye for. The new empowering gay anthem will probably be the a chart topping #1 single for the beginning of 2011. "Born This Way" has already topped the iTunes music charts at #1 after being on sale for only a few hours. I can hear Mother Monster laughing all the way to the bank. I have always been Goo-goo for Gaga and will be till the day I die! Below is the full length version of the song , it seems that youtube doesn't have a link for the video as yet (hmmph!). So to all my Lovely Monsters, have a great weekend.

La Nouvelle Collection Printemps Essie? Oui S'il Vous PlaƮt!
If you are a polish fanatic as am I, then you would be anticipating every new varnish collection for the season. After the lovely colors released last years for Essie's Spring Collection, I thought there is no way they can top Mint Candy Apple, Lilicasm, and Van'D Go. But, this year they took a different approach, more tres chic perhaps. The new Essie 2011 Spring Collection will be launched during sometime this month with a hue of polishes than can only result in a "French Affair". The bunch consists of six new sheer but opaque hues which are a bit more neutral and reeking of Parisian glamour in comparison to previous shades released. Ce que vous l'amour? Comme je fais!
French Affair: A soft intricate pastel hue pink with a hint of lavender.
Coat Azure: A light cerulean blue with a hint of shimmer.
Sand Tropez: A soft nudey-beige.
Nice is Nice: A soft pastel lavender.
Topless & Barefoot: A pinky-beige sheer thats perfect for a french mani.
Kisses & Bises: A pearly iridescent sheer that can perform as a topcoat.

Holy Mother F#@%ing Grail !
Pros:
Is water-based so good for those with almost all skin-types.
Creamy coverage that goes on pretty light when applied.
Only need to use a small amount for complete coverage.
Has a great variety of shades
Covers most blemishes, hence you need a tad bit of concealer if they are super dark
Packaging is in a super sleek tube so it's easy to stash in your makeup bag.
Cons:
Might not be suitable for those with super oily skin types unless set with powder.
Cannot be left on face for too long, for it might be a tad bit hard to blend.
If too much is applied or not applied correctly can tend to look cakey.
Has SPF in it, so with camera flash, might make you look a bit ghostly.

You Need A Great Base To Start & Finish the Race.

Go Cinderella. Go Cinderella.
So you know the song, and I thought "What a great name for a blog!?" Okay, I kept telling myself that one day when i gain the courage, I was going to start blogging. Fearful, no. I just did not have the time to constantly update and review. So what suddenly came over me? My addiction to all things B E A U T Y. I was always known for taking a special interest in my appearance at a young age, and then started to dabble with makeup, Then it grew from just a squeal of satisfaction swiping that satin finished eyeshadow across my eyelid, to having the SA's (Sales Associates) at Bloomingdales asking "Are you back again?". Don't judge me, I'm just simply a young, product crazed adult who has a passion for looking great. So on this exhilarating ride, I will do posts, reviews, and video tutorials from makeup to skincare to haircare. And so on. And please forgive me for starting out taking picks on my BB. A camera will soon be in rotation. So until I swipe that pretty little piece of plastic through that electronic machine giving me an insane total, I will be here, for the meantime. =)
