PAKISTANI / INDIAN BRIDAL MAKEUP

Hi everyone! It's been ages since i've posted a new video on my YouTube channel but I finally did it! YAAAAY! This look is basically my favorite type of "going out" makeup, more suited for night time. I used purple and peachy tones on the eyes and a beautiful sheer orange lip.  FINALLY, I got to use a Revlon Lip Butter in one of my tutorials, and I have to say the one I used, Tutti Frutti, is my favorite of the bunch. They weren't kidding, it really does feel like butter on your lips. Anyway, I love exotic makeup looks and wearing exotic jewelry, which i've accumulated a lot of over the years, thanks to my family's Pakistani/Indian background. FUN TIP: When transforming yourself into an Indian Princess, put on your favorite Bollywood music!  OK now all I need is a handsome Bollywood Hero to come and save me from the evil bad guys, so we can finally go into a musical/dance number!


Products Used:
Face: Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation (both as base and concealer), Contouring with MAC blush in Blunt and MAC bronzer in Refined Golden, For blush I used MAC's Coppertone and Nars Orgasm, MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in By Candlelight, Covergirl translucent pressed powder.

Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, Urban Decay eyeshadow in Polyester Bride, Shadows used from the Urban Decay Naked Palette - Naked and Blunt, Purple eye shadow from Cristian Dior (discontinued and I don't know what it's called), Lorac eyeshadow in After Party, Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara, Red Cherry Lashes #5, MAC Feline eye pencil, MAC Fluidline gel eyeliner in Blacktrack, Orange eyeshadow from NYX Eyeshadow Trio called Shangri-La.

Lips: Revlon Lip Butter - Tutti Frutti

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Lacey Lilac

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, Xtreme Wear Nail Color: Lacey Lilac #270

Hi guys! Spring is here.... well here in Arizona it is. For me Spring Fever begins with a change in color - nail color, that is. This is my first review/post on nail color and I have to say I'm in love with this polish. Not only is the color great for spring/summer but it comes with a purse friendly price! I got mine at Ulta for only $2.59. You can find these at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens and just about any drug store and always for under $3 bucks. The reason why I wanted to try this polish line is because I've been using the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, nail hardener for years now and it seems to be the only thing that helps keep  my weak brittle nails from looking like a hot mess. Now, I can get the same formula as the nail hardener, but with color! I highly recommend the hardener and these polishes for anyone who is looking for fun, trendy, cheap and easy to use nail polishes and for people who have weak, brittle nails that don't grow much. I will do more reviews on the other colors I purchased from this line.

Let me know what you guys think and if there are any polish colors you recommend for spring =)

SOFT LIGHT PINK MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Being a girl it's no secret that we're attracted to pink. Even the ones who say they hate the color, usually like some form or shade of it. It's as if it's genetically engraved in us! But every year there comes a time when I'm SO over the girliest color in the world. Usually that happens during fall and winter, when I'm all pinked out and only into the darker side of the color chart. This year, however, I'm not falling for the dark side. Instead, I'm really loving baby pink cardigans, lilac sweater dresses and I've even been adding little hints of pink, like a pink scarf to accessorize my all black ensemble. So girls, if you love pink I know you're gonna love this new BABY DOLL makeup look I came up with. Check out the pics and my tutorial below. Please become my subbie on YouTube and follow me on Twitter.
