My Everyday Foundation

Hey everyone,

This is my everyday foundation video.  I had a bad reaction to a cream that I used a few weeks ago and my skin has been taking its grand old time to recover.  This is the routine that I use everyday to hide my blemishes.  I have very sensitive skin so the products that I use are all oil free and if they don't react badly with my skin, they will most likely work for you too.  It has taken me a long time to find products that I love, work with my skin, and do their job but these products do!  Trust me!

Products used:
Clinique Super Balanced Makeup
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

Hope this helps you guys!  Stay tuned for more videos!

Review: Sigma Makeup Brushes

Here is my review of my Sigma makeup brushes.  I've had my Professional Brush set for over a year and a half and I've really been loving them!  I don't know what I did without them, because they have become such a staple in my makeup collection.  In my opinion these brushes are better than MAC brushes and a heck of a lot cheaper too!  They are soft and durable, and I hope that if you are in need of some brushes that you try these out.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed.  I'm doing some of my friend's makeup tonight for a formal and I am going to use my brushes on them, and I know that their makeup will turn out flawless because of my brushes.  If you are just starting out, these brushes will make applying makeup simple and effortless.  After buying these brushes, my makeup started looking a million times better and it was all because of them and their ability to place color so precisely.  I am a firm believer that anyone can do amazing makeup with the right tools to help you, and these brushes are them!  I promise you guys, they are worth the money, you will not regret buying them.

Take it from an unemployed college student with an obsession and passion for makeup who spent their own $99 on these brushes and is planning on spending another $149 to get the premium kit, these really are worth every penny!

Hope you guys enjoy the video and that if you are thinking about purchasing them, that my review validates your thoughts, because every girl should be able to have the best products available without breaking the bank!

Quick, Natural, Summer Look =)

This is a very fresh and natural look that is great for the summer. It's quick and easy and looks great. It is light enough to wear around the house or to the beach but it looks nice enough to wear to work or out running errands. I've been wearing this almost everyday so far this summer and I'm loving it. I hope you will too =)

Daytime Smokey Eye

This is my first video on youtube =). To see the video just click the title of this post! Its a daytime smokey look and it is perfect for work or any occasion that takes place during the day. Smokey eyes are my absolute favorite and I really hope that you guys enjoy it! The best part about this is that it can easily transition to a sexy evening look. If you just get home from work and are going out to dinner this look is simple to tweak and be ready to head out the door in minutes-- just darken the outer corner with a little more black, make the eyeliner a little darker and add another coat of mascara and VOILA you are ready to go. If you don't have the same colors that I used, you can just use whatever colors that you have that are similar- any grays or blacks will work! I hope you guys find this video helpful and use this technique the next time you want to create a smokey eye.
