Today, I'll be sharing with you one of my favorite makeup look that I like to do. It is really easy and simple. Everyone can achieve this look, you do not have to have the exact same products that I used. The colors are very dupable, so just make it to suit your own taste.
Eyes:
1.) Take MAC eyeshadow in "Sketch" with a MAC 224 fluffly blending brush and just dust it into the crease. Having this really fluffy brush gives it a really nice application and it blends it right off the bat, rather than having to placing the color on and blending it out later.
2.) Than, take the same MAC 224 brush with NYX single eyeshadow in "Slate" and you are going to just put it right on top of "Sketch". It will kind of muted out the purple. You want most of the concentration on the crease, but it's okay if you kind of blend it down onto the lid. You just want most of the concentration onto the crease.
3.) Clean that 224 brush really well for your highlight color. Take that same 224 brush with NYX single eyeshadow in "Aloha", you're going to just place it on your brow bones and right in the inner corner for highlights.
4.) Now we are going to take any creamy black eyeliner, so I'm taking Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero and line my waterline with it. Next, you are going to just take a small pencil brush and just kind of blend/smudge out the creamy black pencil liner onto the lower lash line a bit. And just take the same black eyeliner and line your upper waterline aka tideline.
5.) Than, with a Sonia Kashuk Small Angled Liner Brush take any black gel liner that you have and make a slight wing with it on your upper lash line. I am using the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in 950 Blackest Black.
6.) The last step for the eyes are to just curl your lashes and apply 1-2 coats of your favorite mascara. Mine at the moment is the Josie Maran GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara in Black. I think that I got this mascara back maybe around October in my Sephora Lash Stash Set. It came with a bunch of other bestselling high end mascaras for Sephora in 2011.
Cheeks:
1.) First, off for cheeks I'm going to take an angle blush brush with my favorite bronzer of the moment which is the Lancome Star Bronzer Natural Matte Long Lasting Brozing Powder in Sunbath. And I am going to only apply in the hallows of cheeks to accentuate the look of me having a high cheekbone.
2.) The last step is to take a blush brush with any plumy rose blush color. I am taking the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hours Blush in Blushing Bride and apply that on the back of your cheek bone, for a nice settle plumy rose cheek color.
Lips:
1.) Moisturize your lips with a lip balm. I would recommend the Jack Black ones, but today I am using my EOS Lip Balm in Passion Fruit.
2.) Now I am taking a Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake and apply that nicely onto my lips.
3.) The last and final steps for the lips and makeup look is to apply a lipgloss. The one I will be using is the Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lipgloss in Ultimatum.
Hope you all enjoy the makeup look!

My Morning Skincare Routine!
FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! are what might be going on in your head right now. Finally, Kate it is time for you to do your morning skincare routine. So if you didn't know in October I believe, I did my evening skincare routine. I decided to just go ahead and get up my morning skincare routine, because I am about to change my skincare routine. So I just to go ahead and get it out of the way. Now I do have to say that my morning skincare routine are a lot less step and less harsh you could say. So lets get into it.
Steps:
1.) I wet my face with lukewarm water and than I apply my everyday cleanser. I use the same one that I use in the evening and it is the Philosophy Purity Made Simple Once-Step Facial Cleanser. I just apply it all over my face and just cleanse my skin with it. Then I just cleanse all of that out with lukewarm water and just pat my face dry.
2.) With a cotton ball I take the Shiseido PURENESS Balancing Softener Alcohol-free and just apply it all over my face down to my neck(front and back) and a bit onto the declate. Then, I just wait till it is dry and while I am waiting for it to dry I do my next step which is.
3.) I than, apply an eye cream and I use the Clinique one as always. The Clinique All About Eyes Rich (tout pur les yeux riche).
4.) The last and final step that I do is apply a moisturizer. The moisturizer that I use and absolutely love currently is the Clean & Clear FINISHES Pore Perfecting Moisturizer Oil-Free SPF 15. I know that you guys probably heard me talk about a million time already in my blogs.
And that is it. So as you can tell my morning skincare routine are a lot more cut down and faster. I just don't really feel the need to slather everything on my face in the morning. It is just going to weigh my face down. I do all of these 4 steps every single day as of right now. If I do change my skincare routine I'll update you all on that. Hope you all enjoy it for now!

Haul: Black Friday 2011 Part 1
FINALLY! I get up my Black Friday haul, because I've said that I'll wait till I get everything in first. Because I've ordered from a lot of websites online so I kind of want to combine it with everything I actually bought in action at stores. I am going to divide into two parts, since it will be a pretty long haul if I put everything together. So this first one is going to be all makeup and just beauty related products that I've bought and the next one will be all fashion related. And there are just too many stores that I went and shop at or order online at for me to remember all of their deals and sales. I might even split into three parts for my bath and body related stuff and candles. But every store and online sites that I shopped at all have great deals and no to mention that I also use ebates for my online shopping so I did get a lot of cash backs. Btw, if you don't live in the states or don't know what Black Friday is it is basically a big shopping day across the US the day after Thanksgiving. Many stores have great sales and deals, some even had like a 70% of the entire store. Which is crazy, since that rarely happen.

TAG: My Makeup Story
Hey, everyone! Today I'll be doing a tag and it is the "my makeup story tag". I am not sure who created it, but I saw that it is a pretty popular tag on YouTube and I haven't done it yet so I thought why not do it today? It seems like a fun little tag that ask me kind of how I started to be obsess with makeup. Lets get into it, shall we?
Questions:
1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
I started wearing makeup since I was like 5 years old, but that was only for fun. I didn't wear it everyday. From time to time, me and my older sister Samantha would go into my mom or my aunt makeup collection and just dig through it and just slather everything onto our face. I remember a time when I literally put like black eyeshadow all over my eyes with red lipstick messily all over my lips and to be honest when I look back at it, it was pretty funny and embarassing. But the age that I ACTUALLY started wearing makeup almost regularly would have to be when I was in eight grade or 13 years old. But all I really wore was some lip gloss and somtime mascara and concealer and a bit of powder.
2. How did you get into makeup?
For having a mom that is a cosmetologist, it was pretty easy for me to get into makeup. I always grow up around makeup, I mean my mom was totally into makeup as much as I am. She always have drawers of makeup, but I remember that she has a lot of Lancome products. I mean she literally have every Lancome products they had at the time. It was actually pretty amazing. So I mostly grow up around Lancome makeup. Lancome was my mom favorite makeup brand, so she would sometime take me and my older sisters to a Lancome counter and buy us makeup sets. And I thought that I was the coolest girl ever getting to wear Lancome makeup.
3. What are some of your favorite brands?
NARS would have to definitely be my favorite makeup brand, but growing up with a ton of Lancome products I would say that Lancome is also one of my all time favorite makeup brands. My other favorite makeup brands are L'Oreal, Revlon, MAC, OCC, Neutrogena, ELF, Giorgio Armani and Chanel.
4. What does makeup mean to you?
Makeup to means a whole lot. I really enjoy makeup. I enjoy putting makeup on myself, on others, talking about it and just looking at it makes me happy. So I would say that makeup to me means happiness and getting to be myself.
5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?
Sunscreen, BB Cream, Powder, SPF Lip Balm and Mascara if the sunscreen or lip balm doesn't count.
6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?
My favorite thing about makeup would have to be using it. I love just playing with it and see what I can do with it, you know. I love everything about makeup just to get it out of the way.
7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs high end makeup?
I LOVE both drugstore makeup and high end makeup equally, so I can't really choose. I mean there are ton of great drugstore makeup brands out there and there are also a bunch of great high end makeup brands out there. So I can't just choose one.
8. What is one tip of advice you can give to a beginner?
Start off small, don't overdo anything. For me, I would say to go less than more. Because if you start off by wearing a little makeup, than if you make a little makeup mistake it won't seem so obvious and ugly. But if you start off by wearing a ton of makeup you can do little mistake, but it will be a lot more obvious if you don't. Since, you highlight and put so much on your face. So don't overdo your mascaras, eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, highlighters, foundations, powders, concealers, lipsticks and lip glosses. Because if you overdo makeup and don't start off small it does not look flattering at all.
9. What is one makeup trend you never understood?
I never don't really understood any makeup trend, because like I've said before I grow up having a mom that is addicted to makeup. My mom is a professional at makeup, so she has always told me why people does a makeup trend. But one makeup trend that she told me to never do is shaving off your eyebrows and just fills them in. She and probably 90% of everyone thinks that it just look fake and ugly. It just look unnatural and you have no idea how many girls I've saw just have little to no eyebrows and just started to fill them in with eyebrow pencils.
10. What do you think about the beauty community on YouTube?
Being a makeup geek and a beauty blogger I think that the beauty community on YouTube is great. I love how it is really big now and why everyone should love makeup. I mean you don't have to, but makeup is really fun. You get to play with yourself and the person you love with what you love. It also just shows your true self, a person that loves makeup.
Hope you guys enjoyed the tag and hopefully you'll do it too! I tag everyone.
