My Beauty Bar (lol) Updated!!!
So I re-arranged my bathroom sink and this is what it looks like now. I think my most favorite place in my apartment is my bathroom, besides from my closet and bedroom (of course lol). Its my beauty sanctuary where I get beautified and all glam'd up! So check it out. Also look at my previous post on my bathroom setup to see the before pics.
This is the left side of my bathroom sink. I have my three-draw bin, cup of makeup brushes, and fragrances/body scents. As well as a bin of for my makeup palette, sunglasses, and facial products.
These are all my fragrances/body scents that I use. Love smell goods!!!
This is the right side of my bathroom sink which holds by toothbrush holder, dish soap of q-tips, jar of cotton balls, a holder for my cotton pads, hand soap, and picture frames of my family. Also in the pink glass is where I hold my in-scents.
Okay so here is a breakdown of what is in each draw of the bin. The first draw is where I hold my makeup collection (pigments, small palettes/quads, lip gloss/color, mascara, eye liner, eye shadow primer, etc). The second draw is where I hold my jewelry (basically all my earrings, rings, and bracelets. I store my necklaces some place else). The third draw is misc. items like other makeup products I barely use, eye lash curler, nail clippers/products).The cube like bin sitting on top of the three-draw bin contains my 120 Manly Palette, my sunglasses, an empty brush set pouch, and my facial products like my foundation and face cream that I use to set my foundation.
I also have three draws going down the side of my bathroom counter. In the middle draw I pace all my hair equipment like curlers, wave irons, flat irons, and blow dryers.FOTD: Blue/Purple Look
Ok, so this is a look I did a few days ago using my 120 Manly Palette. I was inspired by this look from You Tube Makeup Guru Makeup by Leina. I posted the video in a previous post, by here is the link, so check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnKB3O6034A
I think my look came out a little brighter in the blue area. SN: I didn't use the same pigments/brand as she did. But I think I achieved a pretty cool look. I am going to go back and redo this look.
For the color on my lips I used, L'Oreal Paris Riche Colour Lipstick in Fairest Nude (with a little bit of gloss on top), also recommended by Makeup by Leina.
Hope you Enjoy!

This collection isn't that brand new. But I came across this ad campaign, and I love it!!! I love the colors, and I love the makeup used. I haven't purchased anything from M.A.C. or this collection but I think this ad campaign is very inspiring.
Side Note: When I talk about makeup I try to let you all know of cheaper brands with amazing colors and products because everyone can't afford M.A.C., NARS and the goodies at Sephora!
Here are some of the products:

Design Spotlight: Pinko
I came across this ad campaign when I was browsing Spring 2010 ad campaigns. I am a visual person and love editorial print work and love to see how designers visually communicate their lines. I just like the whole set up of this campaign, and if you don't know gold is my favorite color, and the ad campaign below by Pinko used alot of gold and glitz in this campaign. Enjoy!
How to Achieve a Smokey Eye
Sooooo....here is the most easiest way to achieve a smokey eye. If you haven't checked out Maybelline New York Expert Eyewear Stylish Smokes Quads, then check them out. A smokey eye doesn't have to just blacks and grays. Maybellines Smokes Quads include:
1. Charcoal Smokes (black/gray)
2. Emerald Smokes (shades of green)
3. Amethyst Smokes (shades of purple)
4. Natural Smokes (shades of golds and browns)
The names listed above are apart of the Smokes line, but they have other quads with different color combinations.
These quads are easy because the palette shows you exactly where to apply each color (lid, crease, brow bone and outer corner).
You must try these. I don't think they cost anymore then $6. I own like five of the Maybelline New York quads.
This is an outline of where to apply each color. The packaging comes with instructions as well.
