Pretty in Pink Valentine’s Day Look

I wanted to make pink eye shadow wearable for this romantic holiday, so naturally I reached for my Urban Decay Vice Palette.  This is a great way to make those super intimidating colors work for you.  You honestly couldn’t see the pink until I blinked and then it was like–POW!  See?! You can wear this…

UD Naked Palette: Pretty Smoky Eye

Happy February!!  On one of my last Naked Palette tutorials, I got a request to create a look using Gunmetal and Creep.  These two shadows are gorgeous and seemingly simple to work into a look, but they don’t easily go with the other colors in this palette.  I was really wishing I had Pistol from…

Bachelorette Ashley’s Wedding Makeup

Who else watched Ashley marry J.P on Sunday night?  I’m not going to lie, their wedding had me in tears a couple of times.  I adore them together and I had J.P picked out for her on night one of The Bachelorette!! She is just so cute and bubbly, and I love how she’s not…

Urban Decay Vice Palette: Armored Desperation

It’s taken me forever to get up the links and details for my first Vice Palette tutorial, Armored Desperation, which is so named for the two starring shadows.  I created a similar look to this one when I first got the palette and then my mom created this look and sent me a picture.  She…
