I got a lot of messages and comments about the pink lips I was wearing in the photos I used for my last video (How I Do My Curly Hair), so I did a quick tutorial listing all the products I used. Here’s the video, and see the list below!

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for a back to school look, as well as requests for a morning make up routine video so I decided to combine the two into one giant neutral smokey eye extravaganza! I really like this look for everyday because it pretty much goes with anything, and it’s super easy to put on at 7am. Which is good, considering the fact that at 7am I’m so groggy I have the hand/eye coordination of my neighbors blind, 3 legged cat.

Here’s last installment of my Lollipop Bling inspired series. Since the other looks were more wearable, I decided to make this one a little more dramatic just to change things up a bit. I have to say, I really like the glitter lips a lot! I wouldn’t wear this for a normal occasion, but for Halloween or a costume party these would be perfect!

I’ve gotten a lot of support from some of my fellow Mariah Carey fans recently, so I created this series as a thank you for all the re-posts and re-tweets. This is the first of three looks I created, all inspired by the Lollipop Bling perfume line – particularly the bottles which are so gorgeous! Honey is my favorite fragrance of the three, so I chose that one to start things off. Enjoy, and stay tuned for two more looks coming soon!

This is the heavily requested tutorial for the lip color I have on in my “Everyday Makeup Look” video. It’s a modified version of the nude look, since I feel like the traditional version tends to wash me out.
