Fresh FALL face by H.E.B

Fall is officially here, and with fall comes new makeup choices. We're well aware that in Texas it's still 88 degrees but just because it still feels hot doesn't mean our faces can't look fall like! This time of year we want to wear deep reds and purples on our lips, a great smokey eye and the perfect flushed cheeks. Lucky for you H.E.B carries everything you need. 

We compiled some of our favorite products from H.E.B that you can use to put your best (fall) face forward. 

We'll start with the eyes. L'oreal's color riche shadow quad in "stacked heels" has the perfect colors for fall. You can keep it light for the day if you want and build the intensity for a night out on the town. Also, purple compliments brown eyes perfectly. 

Coat your lashes with L'oreal voluminous mascara. Your lashes will be full and beautiful with no help from falsies. 

Move further down on your face to your cheeks. Use Physician's Formula multi colored blush in "blushing rose". It's SUCH a great color. It leaves your cheeks looking flushed, which is great because out in the cold your cheeks will naturally have a pink tint. This blush just helps out. No one wants to look like a clown right? Right! 

And now my favorite, lips! We are loving this Cover Girl jumbo gloss balm in "plum twist". This is the perfect wine color for your lips. It looks great on every skin tone and mouisterizes your lips for those chilly fall days. Plus, who doesn't love a color that reminds them of wine? 

This look is great for day or night so try it out all together or any item separately. All the products are great, an even greater that you can purchase them at your neighborhood H.E.B!

Summer Beauty Favs!

Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing our favorite summer beauty products. Be on the lookout for Katy, Mandy and Emily's must haves. Till then, here are mine!

Glitter-tastic

A couple weeks ago I gathered all our IMAN makeup (which is a ton by the way) & came up with three different looks especially for the holiday season. I wanted some looks that were perfect for Christmas but could also be worn especially for New Years. Y'all know me I want things that are easy & these three looks are very easy. The first look is just a little touch of glitter. Glitter is so girly & fun, perfect for the holidays!

Take a glitter eye shadow or a glitter eye liner & apply it on top of your black eye liner & in the corner of your eye to add a fun touch!

Want to meet our new best friend?

We have some VERY exciting news! How many of y'all are fans of BB Creme's? Well IMAN Cosmetics is jumping on the bandwagon & launching their own line of BB Creme's. We've been very very lucky to test out their new product & we L-O-V-E it!!! It's one of our absolute favorite makeup products. This line of BB Creme's comes in 6 different shades so it's perfect for most skin types. It has SPF 15 & it hydrates & softens your skin. This BB Creme is also lightweight & non greasy. That's just a few great things about this brand new IMAN  product if you want to hear more about it just take a look @ our video.

IMAN Fall Look

Just the other day we got our first taste of fall her in San Antonio. So of course we broke out the cardigan's & made some nutella hot chocolate. Needless to say two days later the weather jumped back into the 90's, what a bummer!!! But while the weather was cooler it got me soooo excited for all the fun fall looks. I love to wear deep reds & violets in the fall. IMAN Cosmetics has a fabulous new palette just in time for fall. It's complete with blush, two eye shadow's & two lip color's. It's their new Adorned Kit. It's pretty much all I need for fall. I've been playing around with the eye shadow's & this is by far my favorite look. It's easy & subtle with a bit of drama, just what I love!

STEP 1. Prime your eyelids. Take the light purple eye shadow & apply all over your lid.
STEP 2. Take your black eye pencil & apply a thin line right on your upper lash line. It doesn't have to be a perfect line. I like to take a q-tip & soften the line up a bit.
STEP 3. Take the dark purple eye shadow & apply it right above your eye liner.
STEP 4. Take that exact same color & apply it right under your lower lash line.
STEP 5. Still using the same dark purple eye shadow apply it into your crease, blend well.
STEP 6. Curl your eye lashes & apply two coats of black mascara.

Pretty easy, hugh?

Hope everyone enjoys their IMAN Adorned Kit as much as we do!

How to make your lipstick last longer

During the summer I rarely wear makeup & I pretty much don't touch my hair. Bronzer, lip gloss & sea salt spray are my best friends all summer long. Now that fall is right around the corner, I'm actually busting out my hair dryer & my red lipstick, aaaah I love fall! With all those bold lips making a comeback, I have some quick tips to get your lipstick to stay longer. Taking just a couple extra minutes is all it takes!

 STEP 1.  Take some concealer & apply it to your lips
STEP 2. Take your lip liner, a nude color or a color as close to your lipstick as possible, line & also fill in your lips. This will give the lipstick something to hold on to
STEP 3. Apply your lipstick
STEP 4. Grab a tissue & blot to remove any excess lipstick
STEP 5. Reapply your lipstick, to build up the color
STEP 6. Take a fluffy brush & dust a little bit of translucent powder on your lips & you're done!!

We have the golden ticket (part deux)

Makeup is so much fun in the summer. Bright lips, fun eyeshadows, bronze skin. This makeup look has all three. It's a fun take on our vintage post plus it's PERFECT for summer. For this look you only really need three products. A nice gold eyeshadow, a bright pink lipstick & a rosy peachy blush. Those colors just scream summer! This look took less than 10 minutes. In our opinion why would you want to spend more than 10 minutes on your makeup in the summer. Wouldn't you rather be sipping drinks by the pool?


STEP 1. Prime your eye lid. Apply any gold eyeshadow that you have all over your top lid
STEP 2. Apply a rosy/peachy blush on the apples of your cheeks
STEP 3. Apply your bright pink lipstick

How to get a smokey bronze eye

For summer I keep my makeup to a bare minimum. Bronzer, lipstick & mascara is pretty much all I need, but sometimes I want to venture out. This bronzy smokey eye is perfect for "venturing out" & its done in just 8 steps. You need just a few products & voila' your eyes have a totally fun, summery look. I'm totally turned off by all those tutorials that take 20 minutes or that have a million & one steps. That's why I wanted to keep it laid back & easy. If I can do it so can you! 

STEP 1. Prime your eyelids. I like to put a little primer underneath my lower lash line as well    

STEP 2. Take a bronze color & put it all over your top lid

STEP 3. Take a nice grey color (try to stay away from black, you want a softer look) Apply it to your crease & your outer corner

STEP 4.  Take that same grey color & apply it underneath your lower lash line, blend well

STEP 5. Take a bigger fluffy brush & make sure to blend your top eyelid as best as possible. You don't want any harsh edges

STEP 6. Take a lighter color, a highlighter, & apply it right underneath your brow bone

STEP 7. Take a brown eye pencil & very lightly line your top lash line. I like the softness of lining my eye very very lightly

STEP 8. Take a black pencil & line the inside of your WHOLE eye. Don't let any white show inside your eye

This video was my inspiration, hope it helps!!

Summer Trends: Bright Lips & Nails

We've always been those girls that LIVE for fun bright nail polishes & over the past few months we're definitely those girls that LOVE a fun lip color. During summer that's all you need, a good bronzer & a bright lip color. With three girls we have all the nail polishes & lipsticks a girl needs. Seriously our nail polish collection is massive! That's the best thing about having sisters, our closets & beauty collections expand!!!!

This summer don't be afraid of color. Color in your wardrobe, on your face & on your nails. After all, color is the BIGGEST trend for summer. Rock those fuschia pinks & that tangerine orange.

Rosy Posy

Spring is all about getting that healthy glow. What better way to do that than with a little bronzer & some rosy cheeks. If I could take one piece of makeup with me on a deserted island it would be blush. Ok maybe a good lip balm & my eyelash curler but hey who's counting. Rosy cheeks are so easy to achieve. You can even swap out that rosy color for a good peach blush & bam you have a
"just came back from the beach" look. Now go get GLOWING!!

By the way all the makeup I used is from IMAN, we absolutely LOVE their makeup!

Makeup Monday: Gradient!

 

So last week I was sifting through Seventeen magazine, and yes I still read Seventeen. Maybe not the prom issue, that would be weird. I came across these gradient lips and I practically fell in love. In the magazine they look so much more awesome. But it gave me the idea to share them with you. This look is a little more toned down then in the magazine but still interesting enough to be cool.

I'm just showing the lips this time because well, all the rest of the makeup should just stay simple-like this!

Step 1: Take a coral lipstick and apply this all over your lips.

**make sure to blot after each application

Step 2: Apply a fuchsia color on top but only to the center of your lips and smudge out with your fingertips.
Step 3: Take an orange color and add it to the very center of your lips. Smudge a little out with your fingertip also.
You can add a gloss or keep it matte, your preference. 
Get funky and creative with it also and try some different colors!!

Glitz and Glamour!

Every New Years Eve I always feel like I need to cover myself in glitter. Glitter nails, glitter eyes, glitter dress, glitter shoes. Head to toe I rock it. This year I decided to scale back, 3 out of 4 is scaled back right? Here is a sneak peek of what my eyes are gonna look like when I ring in 2012! Oh and Happy New Year to everyone, 2012 is gonna be a great year!!

Happy New Year!!

Holiday Makeup Monday

 

step 1- Always start with an eyelid primer, dust a sheer neutral shade all over your lid. 

step 2- take a tan color and apply it right in the crease of your eye, we are creating depth and dimension (but with neutral tones)

**we want to keep the eye neutral for this look, as we are putting the focus on your amazing lipstick

step 3- Take a bronze color and with a small eyeshadow brush, sweep this color on the lower lash line and in the inner corner of your eye. Still keeping in natural but adding depth and glam to your eyes as well. 

step 4- Line your top lash line ONLY using pencil or liquid liner. I'm using pencil here but liquid would look just as glam!

step 5- Curl your lashes and add mascara, I always apply two coats just for that little extra pop to my eyes. Make sure to let your lashes try in between each coats.

step 6- Add your favorite blush to the apples of your cheeks. A soft pink or a rose color will look stunning with this look. 

step 7- Apply two coats of a purple lipstick. I know what your thinking, purple? Yes trust me it looks amazing. 

**If your not as brave to just have the purple on, you can always layer one coat purple and one coat red lipstick. This will give the red a HUGE boost and bring the color out even more!

Hope you like this Holiday look!

We LOVE Revlon!

To say that we love Revlon would be an understatement. To say that were addicted to Revlon would pretty much hit it on the nose.  We have just about every product that Revlon makes. Eye shadows, lipsticks, lip butters, blush you name it we own it. We were due for a dossier digs so we thought we would share our love for Revlon with you. Please don't judge us, the first step to getting help is to admit you have a problem right? :)

Cha Cha Cherry- This color is perfect for every day. It's subtle yet beautiful all at the same time. 

Siren- This lipstick is such a nice orangey pink, it was perfect for summer, the nail polish in Siren is also great!

Wine Not (Matte)- This is such a deep purpley red, it's not my everyday color, but it's great when you want to change it up especially during the fall!

Violet Frenzy- This lipstick is straight up purple, but it's a wearable color, plus when you layer it with a red it takes on a whole other color!

Orange Flip-  This is the perfect orangey lipstick for summer or spring time. I love it!

Hot Coral- I practically lived in this color during the summer, its perfect for that pop of color to your face!

Peach Me- I recently purchased this color and I have to say, it's perfection. It looks great for everyday wear.

Venetian Blue- This color is so vibrant & fun! Great for all seasons.

Riviera Blue- I love to create a smoky eye with this color It's the perfect dark blue.

Aubergine- When I first put on this color I knew it was the perfect purple. Especially when applied with a wet brush.

Peach Sorbet- This is the best color for every day. It makes you look more awake & bright. All 3 of us have this one...

Makeup Monday: Icy Blue Hue

So, this is the first Makeup Monday since the craziness of what we all know as Halloween. Side note: I hope you all liked our Halloween posts, we enjoyed doing them for you guys. OK so, lets get to this makeup. I was totally inspired by MAC's holiday products. Everything is so icy and there are blues and silvers and glitter everywhere, I LOVE IT! 

I decided to do an icy blue eye this time. I'm also hoping by doing this tutorial it will inspire Texas to get cold and possibly have some snow in the near future. Fat chance I know, but can't a girl dream? 

Step 1.) Start with a nude eye, as always, apply any primer you have. 

Step 2.)Take your big fluffy brush and apply a white or nude shade all over your lid. Also apply to the brow bone. You want the light to catch the shimmer there to give you a more glowy look.

Step 3.) Apply a gold shadow to your top lid and in the crease of your eye, then take a deeper gold and apply in the crease just for a little dimension.

Step 4.) Take any blue cream shadow or blue eyeliner and line your top lid. You want to smudge it into the outer corner of your eye as well. Blend as you desire.

Step 5.) Line your lower lash line with the blue as well and smudge. Take a black or charcoal eye liner and line your water line on both the top and bottom lids.
Step 6.) Apply a peach blush to the apples of your cheeks, just for a bit of a glow.
Step 7.) Apply a peachy lip stick or lip gloss to your lips. I wanted to stay with a more nude eye since this look is more about your eyes.
And....
You are done!

This can be a great everyday look or even a great holiday party look. Feel free to try them in both settings, I know I will.
Good luck ladies!

How to get Pan Am hair & makeup

Hi friends! We're so excited for today's post. Let's just say we've been looking forward to it for over a month. It's our Pan Am tutorials....yippee!! We've been doing lots of research for these looks. Ya know spending every Sunday glued to the TV just to find the perfect hair & makeup. It's a tough job watching TV but hey somebody has to do it.

Remember to always start with foundation, concealer, and powder (especially with this look, Pan Am stewardess' always have flawless skin)

#1: Apply a nude eyeshadow all over your lid and all the way up to the brow bone. 

#2: Your going to apply a light brown eyeshadow to your lid, concentrating on the crease. This look is very simple. They always wanted to go for the natural beauty look. 

#3: Line your top lid with black liner and wing it out just a bit. I prefer a pencil. It looks more natural. 

#4: With your angled brush apply black eyeshadow on top of the black liner. This will set the eyeliner and also cover any spaces you missed with the liner as well. 

#5: Apply a pink blush to the apples of your cheeks. Were going for the flushed look. Staying with the au natural look ladies!

#6: Fill in your eyebrows with an eyeshadow that is closest to your natural color

#7: Apply a rose colored gloss or lipstick to your lips 

Remember to curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara!

This look is very simple but you will always look fabulous and fresh faced, good luck!

Tools:

Volumizer

Curling iron

Hair clips

Bobby pins

Brush

Hairspray

Step 1. Take a volumizer & spray all over your hair.

Step 2. Section off your hair with a clip. Start @ the top section of your hair & use your curling iron to curl 1 inch pieces of hair. I prefer to alternate the way I curl my hair. Some pieces I curl towards my face & some I curl away from my face.

Step 3. Once each piece is curled take that exact same piece & wrap it around your finger.

Step 4. Next take a bobby pin & pin it securely to your head. I like to leave my hair curled up as long as possible. This would be a great time to do your makeup.

Step 5. Take your brush & lightly brush your hair to smooth out the curls.

Step 6. Brush your hair all the way through to the bottom.

Step 7. Set your hair with hairspray all over.

Remember the ladies of Pan Am always have perfect hair & makeup, good luck!

Thank you for flying Pan Am!

Makeup Monday: Marilyn love!

I have to say, I wasn't sure how I would feel about this look. I think Marilyn Monroe is timeless and her looks were nothing short of gorgeous so I was hoping I could do her justice. I didn't, but she's one of a kind so who can REALLY  look like her anyways. This makeup was fun and when I put the wig and dress on I didn't wanna take it off! Take it from me ladies this look is so fun for Halloween and having your dress blown up IS as much fun as it looks. Try it! 

Always start with your foundation, concealer, and powder

#1: Apply a frosty white color right under your brow bone, in the crease of your eye, and the center of your lid (your creating a highlight here)

#2: Take a brown color and apply lightly in the crease of your eye. shade up to the outer and inner corners of your brow. (your just want to create contouring with this step)

#3:  Wet your eyeliner brush and dab it in a dark brown eye shadow. Line your top lid with this. 

* side note, Marilyn never used black eyeliner it was always brown or dark brown* classy!

#4: Apply a white eyeliner to your bottom water line. This will make your eyes appear wider. All the ladies in this era did this. Were trying to be authentic here ladies. 

#5: Now is the fun part, apply false lashes to your top lashes. Whether you chose full lashes or just ends were going for the winged look here. 

#6: Apply a peachy blush to your cheeks!

#7: Take any red lip liner or lip stick and apply it to your luscious lips 

#8: Final step, don't forget her unforgettable beauty mark. I found that liquid liner works best with this step. 

Add your wig, white dress, and wind machine and your just like Marilyn

and if you didn't know her and I are on a first name basis! ;)

1920's makeup

20's makeup is so super easy! Its practically goof proof. All you need to do is smudge some black shadow on and and pop on a ruby red lipstick and voila, your done! This look is really fun to do and its always a halloween hit! Look out for 20's hair from Libby tomorrow!

Step 1: Of course you always start with a bare eye and make sure to apply primer to your eye lid. Line your upper lid with a black liner. Don't worry it doesn't have to be perfect as your going to smudge this later.

Step 2: Line your lower lid. You will also be smudging this line to so don't worry if its not straight

Step 3: Were using dark grays and two different blacks with this look. Step 3 is with the gray. Apply the gray to the entire lid and up to the outter and inner corner of the brow. Leaving the center of the brow open for highlighting. 

Step 4: Here we are applying the black, we want to apply the black also to the entire lid concentrating on the crease and the outter corner of your eye. Bring this color down to your lower lash line as well. Were blending both colors very well

Step 5: Add the last black shadow to your lid. Were building the colors here on your eye lid so make sure to blend all these colors well. This look is meant to be messy and smokey so dont worry about doing it wrong. Also bring this color down to your lower lash line. 

Step 6: Add a white liner to the inner corner of your eye and also add a white shadow to the inner corner as well and to the center part of your brow bone. We want to add a little highlight to this look. 

Step 7: Eyebrows were dangerously thin in the 20's. So if you have thick eyebrows you may want to try and cover them. If your eyebrows are naturally thin just emphasize them with a black liner or shadow.

Step 8: These lips are fun! You just want to apply it to the center of the lip. Emphasize the cupids bow and don't take it all the way to the outter corner of your lips. On your bottom lip just make sure to add it to the center of the lip. You want to make it look as though you have a permanent kissy pout!

This completes the 1920's look. Hope you all enjoy this!!
