Coffee Eyes & Lips Tutorial

Hello again!

Today I will be sharing a look I put together last weekend as I was getting ready for church. Some of you might remember the swatches I posted of the Morphe palettes I got a while back (It is linked at the bottom of this post, if you'd like to read it). I knew I wanted something brown and sparkly so this is the look I came up with...

This is the palette I used to achieve this look...

I primed my lids and applied this ivory shadow over my entire lid.

I took this light camel color and applied that in my crease. Blending up towards to my brow. Make sure you take your time blending! You want all of your shadows to be smooth and blended.

Using a smaller rounded brush I applied this brown shadow in my outer corner and crease. I used the same brush to blend the two shadows together.

I applied this shimmery brown shadow to my lid with a flat brush.

I applied an even darker brown shadow in the outer corner to darken the look.

I smudged this brown shadow under my lower lash line.

I used good ole Mary Lou Manizer to highlight inner corner.

Then The Liner & Lash crew did their job!

To finish the face I applied this gorgeous blush.

Applied more Mary Lou Manizer to highlight my face.

Set it all.

Applied this Beauty For Real liner (it came in a BoxyCharm. There's no name on it)

And Flutter Kiss by NYX. I LOVE this combo!

And we're done! Here are some pictures of the finished look...

I hope you enjoyed this post. I loved the way it turned out and am having so much fun putting these looks together using these palettes. Let me know if you have any Morphe palettes. I'd love to check them out and maybe add them to my collection.

Get Ready With Me: Sick, but you'd never know it!

Welcome back! We've all had days when we're feeling under the weather and would rather stay in bed all day. Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to do so. I had one of these days this past weekend... it was Jr. Prom night for my nephew which means, photos with Auntie (he loved it, trust me) Here are my tips and tricks on how to look your best when you're feeling your worst. Let's get started... First things first, start with a clean face. Then, moisturize and prime your skin. I used a heavier moisturizer under primer because my skin tends to get very dry when I'm not feeling well. An oldie but goodie is Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer. This is about $5 at Target or drugstores. Concealing is always important. Especially when you're sick. I applied Age Rewind under my eyes and Dream Lumi around my nose to hide extra redness. I blended them in with my fingers using light patting motions. I evened out my complexion with two fairly recent products...

Adela's at home pedicure

Welcome back! Spring is officially here which means warmer weather and cute sandals! It's time to get those tootsies back in shape! Now I can admit, a professional pedicure can be nice. But if you are short on time and want to save some cash why not do it at home? Today I'll share my at home pedicure routine. I do this year round (Once a month in the winter. Twice a month in the spring/summer). Let's get started... Here are the supplies you'll need: A towel Nail Polish remover Cotton balls Sugar scrub Bath Salts Lotion Manicure kit Cuticle oil Cuticle remover Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle Nail file Buffer Pumice stone Correcting pen Orange stick Clippers Cuticle clippers Base coat Top coat Polish of your choice Large bowl to soak your feet I know that seems like a lot, you probably already have these items. If not, you can find most of them at your local dollar store. Step 1. Remove old polish. This is the polish remover I use. Any brand will work. Step...

I went shopping!

Hello again, Let's be honest, we all love to see what others buy. I know I do! I've picked up some new beauty products and I thought I'd share them with you. This is several trips/purchases put together in one post. Grab a snack and some iced tea. It's going to be a long one! Here are the goods. Some are repurchases, some are new. I can't wait to dig into these babies! I'll say a bit about each product. Covergirl Clump Crusher- I've been a long time fan of Covergirl mascaras. Clump Crusher has made it's way into my favorite spot. It has a plastic brush with a curve to it so it easily reaches all of the lashes. As the name implies it doesn't clump AT ALL! I didn't believe it till I tried it and now I alway have a tube of this. I stock up when it's buy one get one 50% off. I ordered the next three products off Hautelook a few weeks ago. This is the foundation I always use. It's several shades swirled together as a liquid then baked on a ...
