TV Love: My Two Current Favorite TV Shows

So lately I've been loving two singing shows. I've actually liked both of them for a while,but each of them recently launched into a new season,so I thought I'd do a blog post about them!

The first one is The Voice. I actually started watching this during its first season,and I've been hooked ever since. And this show is very easy to get hooked into! The judges are just amazing and super likable. I get so excited on days this comes on!

The next show is The X Factor. This show is defiantly a tad more critical when it comes to judging,which makes it more intense then The Voice,in my opinion. In all honestly, I like this better than The Voice. I am obsessed with this show. Don't even get me started,haha! This actually comes on tonight,and I could not be more excited! It's such a great show!

I highly recommend both of these shows if you like singing competition shows. They are both so good!  Totally two of my all-time favorite shows. :)

What's your new favorite TV show? :)

How To: Use Colored Eyeliner

Hey everyone! :) Today's post is going to be about how to pull off colored eyeliner. I personally really like the look of a neutral eye but with a pop of color.

Here's some examples:

If you want a post of an actual tutorial using colored liner, I can do that, but this post is going to be simply my tips on using colored liner. :) My favorite look using colored eyeliner is lining the upper lash line with black or brown,but lining the waterline with a pretty blue or purple. It's gorgeous and not overwhelming.
I really like the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in Deviant. Urban Decay has amazing colored liner,but they can be a tad expensive. But they literally have every single color,if you don't mind splurging. They're seriously amazing. They have colors for every eye color!
If you have blue eyes,rosy shades look really pretty. Some people say that if blue eyeliner takes away the blue from blue eyes,but I personally don't think that's true. If you want to wear blue eyeliner,go for it! Just see what works for you.
If you have hazel eyes,greens and golds look super gorgeous.
If you have green eyes,blue looks really nice. Green on green doesn't look bad,but just be careful. You don't want to wash out your natural eye color.
And if you have brown eyes,turquoise and rusty copper colors look super pretty.
And I personally think that purple and navy go with every eye color!

I hope these tips helped you in using your colored eyeliner! :)

Back to School Drugstore Makeup Tutorial

Hey guys! :) So I know I've already done a back to school tutorial,but I got a request to do a drugstore version,so that's what I'm doing! :) I decided to do a full face tutorial instead of just eyes.  Let's get started! :)

First apply your foundation. I personally like to apply mine with a sponge,but you can apply yours with a brush,your fingers,or whatever you prefer. :)

To start off the eyes,take a sand colored eyeshadow on any flat shader brush. Apply this all over your lid. Don't be afraid to really pack this on your lid to make a vibrant color. :) Also,put this in your inner corner.

Use a deep brown eyeshadow to darken up the outer corner. You can make this as smokey or as natural as you want.

This next step is completely optional. If you're a person who likes a pop of color,then you can take a blue eyeshadow and run this along your lower lash line. If you don't want a pop of color,then just skip this step.

Take a brown liquid eyeliner and apply this to your upper lash line.

Take a brown pencil liner and line your waterline.

Apply mascara. I love the wand on this one.

For cheeks,I would recommend going with a pink for school. This is a Covergirl blush in Classic Pink,which is actually my all time favorite blush.

For lips,go with a shimmery pink. Revlon lip products are really inexpensive but great quality!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! :) If you have any questions about prices of the products,feel free to ask!
