Preparing for Fall - My first video tutorial!

I'm so excited to share my first video with you all!

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Sultry look with peach tones

I am so in love with the peach tones in this look. It started with inspiration from one of my favorite blushes, MAC Peaches, and turned into something more sexy and sultry than I had imagined. I'm diggin' it.

Day Time Drama + Modest Mouse ♫

Gold Eyes & Bright Lips + Interpol ♫

Blues & Browns + Beck ♫

Dramatic Brights Tutorial + Lykke Li ♫

I got a few products from the newest MAC Collection - To The Beach. I usually skip on most collections but I absolutely loved the packaging on this one! The only products I got were Hipness blush, Float On By e/l and Temperature Rising l/l. Love! So this look is just what I came up with playing around with the products.

I actually really like Temp Rising even thought it is very bright! I imagine I'll be wearing it with some different lip combinations a lot this summer (with much more toned down eyes, of course :) Hope you enjoy!

Friday Night! + Myley vs. Biggie

TGIF! Here's a fun mash-up for your listening pleasure, as well as my Friday Night look. Enjoy!

Florence and the Machine - "Between Two Lungs"

Eyes - CoverGirl Smokey Shadow Blast (white end), Urban Decay Homegrown & Sellout e/s, MAC Vanilla pigment, MAC Beautiful Iris e/s, Loreal Carbon Lineur Intense, Estee Lauder Sumptuous Volume mascara
