Wacky Ventriloquist Puppet Tutorial

adminOctober 24, 2016Leave a comment

It’s that time of year again! I officially broke out of my comfort zone and did something so crazy! I decided I wanted to tackle ventriloquist makeup, which was actually more challenging than I thought! But I conquered all those challenges to bring you a simplified tutorial, so you can recreate it!

At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about how it turned out, but after I liked the creepy and “messy” animation of it.

I think this is the cutest Halloween look, and wish I thought of being this for Halloween this year! Below I added a few touches that would look perfect with this makeup look and make you look like the ultimate ventriloquist puppet.

Fall and Halloween Decor

adminOctober 17, 2016Leave a comment

Fall is here, and Halloween is around the corner! Regardless, it is the season of warm pumpkin scents, candles, candy corn, and cozy blankets. It can be hard decorating practically, especially on a budget. The key is to pick items that are reusable every year, interchangeable, and can be used all year round! Below is my latest video one how I decorated my apartment for the season, along with a few inspiration pictures from my Pinterest board !

Most of my vases and bedroom decor is maintained throughout the whole year, along with candles, but I tend to remove the pumpkin decorations and keep them for the next year! My decor is from Homegoods, Marshalls, TJ Max, Michael’s, and Target.

These are my inspirations for my future home! I love how non-traditional the pieces are, using white pumpkins instead of orange, giving a rustic vibe to your home. Candles are an essential with the colder months on their way. If you have a porch or front deck, I recommend having fun and adding barrels of hay, pumpkins, and fall wreaths to the mix.

That is my dream!

It is been a hot minute since I have filmed a video. Getting settled into school has been hard, but I am finally back and will be filming as regularly as possible!

Since fall is officially here, meaning the weather is matching the season, we can finally wear our fave fall makeup looks.

This everyday makeup tutorial is the perfect and simple look to sport for class, a meeting, errands, lunch, dinner, or even a nice event or formal. Maybe even homecoming?!

Below are some of my fave shades that you can use to recreate this look or other fall makeup looks.

The palette I used in this tutorial is the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette. (Sold at Sephora and Ulta)
