Day 1: Chestnut Browns (12 Looks of Christmas)

Hello loveys! So to start off the 12 Looks of Christmas, I decided on a set of browns which are very much like toasted almonds or chestnuts. :) Very holiday, eh!? So here is a breakdown of what I used:

Sedona Lace 88 Warm Palette

I used the Warm palette for the crease, lid and highlight colors. I just chose a darker matte brown for the crease, a warm shimmery medium brown for the lid, a gold for the inner corner and a cream highlight color. :)

Elf Studio Cream Liner - Black

I lined the eyes with a Langnickel angled brush and then applied black mascara. I do recommend using a deep brown mascara with this look, but I simply don't have any!! :)

Avon Lip Stain Marker -Rose'

Cheers!

12 Looks of Christmas

Hello darlings!

I just wanted to make a quick post explaining the next twelve (yes, twelve!) videos. I am prepping for the end of the semester and for travel for the holidays, so before I jet-set off, I wanted to do something special on the blog/vlog. I am thus doing the "12 Looks of Christmas." I'll post a new tutorial every day for 12 days (up to Christmas Eve). These tutorials will range from everyday looks, to festive, glittery holiday glam looks. I just had some fun with it!

So I hope you all enjoy these upcoming videos, regardless of what you are celebrating this time of year. I love the holidays and the opportunity to spread some love and cheer around. And that includes my YouTube and Blogger family!

Happy Holidays,

Meg

Take it Off!!- Makeup Removers

Ladies... Take it off! All of it! Right now!

Of course I'm talking about your makeup! :) At the end of the day, you should always remove  your eye and face makeup to help prevent clogged pores and subsequent breakouts. Keeping makeup on overnight may also age your skin and could lead to premature wrinkles from the skin not being able to breathe! Not cool.

So today I'm going to talk to you about different makeup removers...

Here are the contenders:

CVS Brand -

Yes To Cucumbers

Burt's Bees

Jean Pierre

Almay

Maybelline

Other brands to consider: Ponds, Oil of Olay, Avon, Elf and Target Brand among others.


How To Make Your Own Makeup Remover:



Michelle Phan - Beauty Guru and Founder of MyGlam



Kandee Johnson - YouTube Beauty Guru and Makeup Artist

Basic Ingredients they Mention:

-Aloe Water

-Olive Oil

-Witch Hazel

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Meg
