Requested: How I Cut My Crease *Video Tutorial!*

Hi everyone! I finally went ahead and made a video tutorial on how I cut my crease. I know the video isn't the best, but bare with me! I'm a blogger, not a YouTube star, lol. Also, I apologize for the hair clip cameo (I know, it's distracting). Just try to ignore it! I will have much better videos in the future, and they will be HD as well.

It is an online beauty community where you can share your looks with other beauty lovers and discover other amazing beauty bloggers. This is the perfect place to gain inspiration from others as well.

The Inheritance Cycle Dragon Series Collab with Dawn from Makeup by Siryn!

Hello everyone! Here is the much anticipated special collaboration I did with Dawn, aka Makeup by Siryn. We decided to create four looks based off of each dragon that grace the covers on the Inheritance Cycle books. 

For those of you who aren't familiar with the series, you can can read the synopsis on Wikipedia HERE.

We each got two looks and the dragons that I based my looks off of are Saphira (blue dragon) and Glaedr (gold dragon).  I had such a blast with these looks and working with Dawn, and I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did creating them!

____________________________________________________________

Here is a preview of the amazingly stunning and gorgeous looks that Dawn created for the collaboration! Do yourself a favor and click the image below to check out the rest of her pics, and follow her blog. She deserves all the recognition she can get. Not only is she uber talented, but she's a total sweetheart! GO GO GO! You wont be disappointed, I promise :D

________________________________________________

And here are the looks that I came up with! The are both border-line dramatic and wearable...You could totally wear these out to a night time party, club, or event!

As for products used, I mainly used the Naked Palette and the BH Cosmetics 120 Eyeshadow Palette (2nd Edition). I created these weeks ago, and sadly I do not remember which shades I used exactly (sowwie!!). But you can still still achieve these looks with any colors you may have.

______________________________________________________________

I definitely enjoyed doing a collaboration look with the lovely Dawn, it was really fun and it was awesome to work with a fellow blogger and get to know them a bit better. I'll for sure be open for more opportunities like this in the future. Thank you Dawn for collab-ing with me, it was a pleasure! I hope you guys liked the looks, and please don't forget to check out Dawn's blog...Love you all! <3

Give Your Eyes a POP of Color!

Ever get bored of plain ol' black liner? Well, have no fear, RONNIE IS HERE! Today I have a fast and simple way to give your makeup look a pop of color without being too out there. I chose to use green, but you can use whatever color you'd like!  Pair it with a bright lip for a super fun look, or tone it down a notch with a nude gloss. You can also throw on some lashes for a more dramatic look, as I did:

FACE:

• Loreal True Match Foundation in Warm Beige
• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Light
• MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation in NC20

EYES:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion
• NYX Eyeshadow in Geisha all over lids, up to brow bone
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow in a mixture of "Naked" and "Buck" to create a delicate cut crease and on lower lash line
• Wet N Wild Liquid Liner in Black
• Matte Green eyeshadow from BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition mixed with Makeup Forever's Fix spray to create a liner
• ELF Mineral Mascara in Black
• ELF Dramatic Lashes
• Wet N Wild Pencil in White on waterline

CHEEKS:

• NYC Blush in Riverside Rose

LIPS:

• Cover Girl Lipstick in Fairytale

I know this isn't my typical smokey eye, but I still hope you guys enjoy this look and that you guys will try it on yourselves someday. This really is one of the easiest ways to pull off color, and it's uber cute and sexy as well. Give it a shot! 

Have an amazing weekend, everyone! <3

Awesome Blogger Alert!!

A few days ago I was browsing through MakeupBee and I stumbled upon a beautiful, perfectly executed sunset inspired look. I went ahead and clicked on the profile only to be in awe of the gorgeousness that was emitting from my computer screen! So with that, this called for an absolute SHOUT OUT BLOG POST!

Her name is Hilary, and you absolutely should check out her blog at http://www.dramaticmakeup.ca/ and give her a follow! I must admit, I was extremely shocked that she doesn't have hundreds, or even thousands of subscribers. She definitely needs a lot more recognition and attention for her stunning looks.

A couple of more looks from Hilary:

So, with that said, go and do yourself a favor and head on over to her blog and check out more looks from her. She also has product swatches and tutorials. Not to mention that she is also a complete sweetheart!

I hope you all will enjoy her creations as much as I do :)
