Photo Friendly Holiday Party Makeup!

 Hi My Loves!!!

Today's tutorial is a photo friendly holiday makeup tutorial. This is actually the makeup I wore for our Christmas pictures this year. Everything photographs so nicely, especially the foundation. I was inspired by a makeup look I saw on Brooke Burke. It just screamed "Christmas" so I thought I would try a similar version on myself for our pictures and I loved the way it turned out. 

WATCH THE TUTORIAL HERE: 

Links and all products used are in the description box of this video :)

These pictures are all with flash and you can see how beautifully this foundation photographs, so it's perfect for your holiday pictures or going to Christmas work parties etc :) Somehow the makeup blurs out your imperfections with the flash. It just makes the skin look amazing. It gives a nice glow to the skin without feeling dewy or greasy. 

Here's the picture that inspired this look ;) 

Here's another picture I snapped with my regular vlog camera in the dark hallway with flash. Excuse my expression but you can tell how beautifully it photographs even in cruddy lighting ;) 

Thanks for reading/watching!

Best Perfume I've Ever Sniffed!!!

Hi My Loves!!!

I got my Ulta catalog for September in the mail today which is always an exciting moment for me because it includes samples of perfume and my $3.50 coupon haha! I knew as soon as I sniffed this sample of Marc Jacobs "Honey" ($92.50 for 3.4oz) that I had to tell you guys about it and it instantly went on my wish list.

Here's the sample I got in my Ulta catalog :) I must have sniffed it about 20 times and Phoenix sniffed it about 10, saying "Oh nice babe!"

Here's what it really looks like:

Here's what Sephora says about the perfume:

Honey by Marc Jacobs is a sunny, delicious floral—energetic and alluring, with a sparkling, golden touch. The perfect mix of brightness and warmth. 

This buzzing fragrance energizes with the freshness of green pear and a bright splash of fruity punch and juicy mandarin. Orange blossom resides at the heart of the fragrance and mingles with the nectars of honeysuckle and peach for a note of sparkling femininity. Honey, vanilla, and smooth woods dry down to a warm, golden base. 

Notes:
Pear, Juicy Mandarin, Orange Blossom, Peach Nectar, Apricot, Honeysuckle, Honey, Golden Vanilla, Smooth Woods. 
Style:
Sweet. Sassy. Energized.

 Here's what I say about the perfume:

The scent of this is like heaven. It's feminine, subtle, sweet and floral at the same time. This is one of those scents you just can't stop sniffing and I MUST HAVE IT!! It's literally the best perfume I may have ever sniffed in my life and I've sniffed a lot! This is definitely on my MUST PURCHASE SOON list. I highly recommend the next time you are at Ulta or Sephora, get a sample or just go and have a sniffy wiffy :) Let me know how you like it. If you do have it, how does it wear? Is it one of the delightful ones that stay smelling amazing all day long?

I just had to share this with you because it is the best scent ever!

And here's a recap of my last few videos this week:

Yesterday Lily tried to beat me up...

Wanna make your teeth look pearly white without having to use whitening products???
