I totally didn’t plan to rock a big oversized bun but my hair was totally uncooperative! Hated it at first but now I totally dig it <33
It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten out of the house. I’ve spent the last week bare faced and in sweats! *lol* With Christmas literally ONE WEEK away, I felt like my next few FOTD posts should be Holiday themed.
I paired today’s makeup look with some fabulous faux diamond earrings…
I felt like rockin’ a red lip and a glamours glittery smokey eye.

I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a beauty video or a beauty post! I’ve REALLY been into taupe colors lately. I thought it would be fun to come up with a little challenge for myself–”Twenty-Two Days of Taupe”! There’s no real significance behind the number twenty-two; I thought it just sounded cute *lol* Since there are SO many variations of taupe out on the beauty market, I thought it’d be fun to come out with as many taupe makeup looks as possible and my goal is to get to 22!
Day #1 starts off with the most obvious, Satin Taupe. It was literally the second eye shadow that I bought from MAC and I loved it because it went with everything I wore. This look is VERY versatile–you can wear Satin Taupe alone for a day look & smokey it out with a darker dramatic color for the evening.
I’m very big on coordinating eye makeup & outfits. Taupe is very versatile because it there are so many colors of it–dark, light, metallic, sheer, cool tones, warm tones and the list goes on…

-NYX Pots & Pans Jumbo Eye Pencil

Here is a look I wore a lot in the month of October. I hope you enjoy this one!
Today was one of those days…dreary and ridiculously cold out–an all black kind of day.
A few nights ago I was playing around with a few of my Barry M Dazzle Dusts and created this beautiful purple color with no. 89 which is called Oyster Grey. A lovely color grayish purple on it’s own, under NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil in Cottage cheese, it looked like a duo chrome purple. I tried capturing this on camera but I couldn’t get the effect to show up on the camera.
