"What's in my vanity?"- August 27th

Hey guys! Let me just preface this blogpost by explaining this new series to you... Since I am not making tutorials right now, I am trying to really use the products I have day-to-day, and really mix it up often. I got the idea from ShadesofKassie; she does this series of videos where every week she posts what she is using that week. So, I will change out some products every week and show you them. I won't show you foundation or anything where I use the same thing all the time, unless it's something new. So, after that extremely long introduction, let's get started!

Eye Makeup:
Urban Decay Rollergirl Palette
Wet n Wild Petal Pusher Palette
Too Faced Eyeshadow Single in Sitcom Siren
Maybelline Color Tattoos in: Bad to the Bronze and Fuchsia Fever (le)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners in Whiskey & Rockstar

Blush & Lips:
Wet n Wild Coloricon Blusher in Heather Silk
elf Studio Blush in Tickled Pink
Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses in Coral Reef and Pink Pop

And that's what's in my vanity this week until next Sunday. Hope you enjoyed, and please check out my facebook (sapphiremakeup928) if you want to see how I use these products in Face of the Days :)

COMING SOON!

Hey guys! So, I just posted a video (http://youtu.be/cMXcA8KSGrs) about some changes to my Youtube due to me heading to college tomorrow and I wanted to make this blog post to let you know some of the things I am planning on doing on all of my media locations to make up for not making as many videos.

In case you guys didn't know, I do now have a Youtube, Blog, Twitter and Facebook dedicated to my love of makeup, and on each site I will be doing some cool new things this fall.

Youtube

So, on Youtube I have a new series coming called "Faces and Places." What this will be is a new celebrity inspired video every Sunday and a new US state inspired tutorial every Wednesday. I have prefilmed and edited all of these videos in the last month so they are all ready to go! Also, there will be blogposts right here to correspond to each video. And other than that, I hope to do some quick OOTDs and Getting Ready videos whenever I get the chance.

Blog

Here on my blog, as I said I will be posting for each video I upload as well as putting any hauls or reviews I want to do on here rather than making a video.

 

 

Facebook

On Facebook, I have created an album called Face of the Day. Every (or most) days I will take a picture of the makeup I wear and post it with a list of products in the caption. This will just be a way for you all to see what makeup I am wearing even though I am not currently filming tutorials.

 

 

 

Twitter

And Twitter will be the place I will be trying to be on the most, telling you guys what I am up to, what makeup is on my wishlist, what looks I love, etc. Also, I am going to be doing posts called #FlashbackFriday where I post a link to an old video every Friday, as a way to give some of my faves little shoutouts.

Anyways, I hope you guys check out all my media sites and please follow/subscribe/like them to see all the cool stuff I have coming this fall. They are all linked in their subheadings.

Thanks for reading!

Today's Look: Miley Cyrus

Hey guys! So for today's look I was inspired by Miss Miley Cyrus and her September 2012 cover of Marie Claire magazine (aka the magazine with the best makeup looks).

 As soon as I saw this look I knew I wanted to do it because of all of the plummy and taupe tones in it. It's the kind of colors that would flatter anyone but with a unique edge to the shadow that makes it a little out there like Miley.

Products used:
Tape
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
Too Faced Eyeshadow in Sitcom Siren
ULTA Eyeshadow in Plum Smoke
Wet n Wild Silent Treatment Eyeshadow Trio
MAC Eyeshadow in Brown Down
NYX Trio in Rock and Roll (Highlight and Taupe color)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Rockstar
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara
elf Studio Blush in Fuchsia Fusion
Stila Convertible Color in Lillium
Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch
NYX Megashine Lipgloss in Beige

The look does involve a lot of products to get the dimension but I tried to make it easy for you all to follow so I really hope you will check out the full tutorial to see how to create the look: http://youtu.be/wkPnLx6wukM
