MOTD: NYX Love In Rio Love Is A Cha Cha

I haven't posted a MOTD forever!!! Sorry for all of you have been waiting for some new looks with some step by step instructions. 

As you know I am really into purple eye shadows.  There is just something about purple that I love to wear on my eyes.  So here's another purple eye shadow combination that I just couldn't pass up on especically when the trio of shadows are so pigmented.

I love NYX Cosmetics not only for their amazing value but how well their products perform especially their eye products.  The

Jumbo Eye Pencils

are my favorite go to primer to make eye shadows POP! If you need a recommendation on which one to choose (they have several different colors) MILK is the #1 choice.  It's a matte white that will work with any color combination but I really like to use it for bright colors. 

  Here are the steps to create the look. 

1. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Oyster as your base.  As your highlighter apply NYX Ultra Pearl Nude Loose Eye Shadow.

2. NYX Love In Rio Love Is A Cha Cha lighter color all over the lid

3. Middle color which is a deeper purple all over the crease.  Apply this shade with detailed definer brush and blend out with a blending brush.

4.  Take your detailer brush and apply the darker shade right in the outer corners of the eyes for definition.  For added drama add a matte black eye shadow.

5. Line your eyes top and bottom and give it a little wing.

6.  Lashes used for this look are

House Of Lashes

Siren.  OMG I am obsessed!!! They remind me of MAC 35 Lash!!!!

7.  Brows are 

Anastasia Beverly Hills

Tinted Brow Gel Espresso and Brow Genius Kit in Brunette.

To make this look complete NYX Strawberry Milk was used on the lips along with NYX Mocha Blush and NYX Narcissistic Illuminator right above it. 

 I used

Makeup Addiction

Brushes in The Detailer and The Blender

I hope you guys like this look, as it is one of my new favorites.  I will be posting new YouTube tutorials next month.  Don't forget to follow me on

I'm now a MRS!

Hello everyone! Thank you to all my beauTIFFul readers and followers out there for being so patient with me these past couple of months while I prepared for my wedding.  Means so much to read all your well wishes and support while I was MIA.  I am finally back and will be posting on a regularly basis.  I will be posting a weekly YouTube tutorial starting next month featuring a MOTD and makeup reviews on some products that I want to share with all of you!

MOTD: Prom Makeup Mint Green Dress

 I love Stephanie's prom dress color, it is a light mint green.  I didn't want to do a heavy makeup style for this dress but instead I opted for something more light and spring like.  I wish the camera captured the pretty golden shimmery shadow around the eye and the glitter.  It looks so pretty in person.  MAC Creme Cup Lipstick is my favorite all around light pink lipstick as it looks great on everyone.

MOTD: Prom 2013 Makeup Inspiration

My prom was over 10 years ago (wow, really has it been that long?) I remember trying to think how I wanted my hair and makeup done but during that time there was only Seventeen and Teen magazine to look for inspiration.  Now all these teenagers have amazing sources for hair and makeup inspiration via the internet.  During the next couple of months (April-June) I will be posting a look to complement a dress that one of my followers have tagged on Instagram.  Thought this would be a good way for me to start doing daily MOTD'S again :)

Wedding: T&C Honeymoon Plans

I have been getting a lot of people asking where we are going for our honeymoon! We decided we will be embarking on an Asian adventure in the beginning of 2014.  Thailand, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore and finally spending a majority of the time in the Philippines.  We might need to leave some countries/cities out for our 2 week vacation but we are still excited. Can't wait to bring Cody to the homeland and have him experience my culture.  He's excited!

Cody and I would love to hear about your experience if you have traveled to this part of the world.  Maybe your favorite restaurant, or activity that you would suggest. 

We are also wanting to plan a little getaway after the wedding, maybe a 3 day vacation somewhere close by.  Haven't decided yet but thought it would be nice to relax and unwind a bit.
