A Daytime Look with Gabrielle Faust by Overall Beauty

This is a daytime look with the Gabrielle Faust collection by Overall Beauty.  Since these are not normally colors I wear, I felt like I was stepping out of my comfort zone. I feel like the creamy yellow and brown worked really nicely together. There is a video tutorial at the bottom of this post.

Tokyo Ice Tea Look

This is a really fun look I put together with Sugarpill and Stila. I dubbed it my Tokyo Ice Tea look because I like Tokyo Ice Teas as opposed to Long Island Ice Teas. Plus, it’s pretty and green and I think Ana will love it!

Video: Makeup Brushes 101

Video: Makeup Brushes 101

This is a video with a little Brush 101. I wanted to show you some of the brushes that I use and what they look like. The vast majority of the brushes I own I’ve purchased. I did initially receive some ecoTools brushes from the company to review and I fell in love with them. This led me to purchasing a bunch more on several different occasions. I also purchased two brush sets from Medusa’s Makeup and I’ve been very happy with the quality of their brushes. I’ve purchased all my Sonia Kashuk brushes at my local target. I’ve purchased e.l.f. brushes online but they’re now available at Target.

When it comes to brush care, I use each brush once before I wash it, so some of the brushes you see in the video have product on them, but they’re about to be washed. I use Dr. Bronner’s pure castile soap to cleanse the brushes and then let them dry, with the bristles angled downward. Part of the reason that I have so many brushes is my whole only using them once before they get cleaned!

I forgot to show my Fyrinnae pencil brush and my taklon pointed crease brushes in this video, but they’re also pretty awesome. Ana told me how awesome the Fyrinnae pencil brush was,  so I managed to snag one before they stopped selling them.

iShadow Video Tutorial with Shiro Cosmetics

I made a cute little video tutorial with the lovely iShadow collection from Shiro Cosmetics. I should have probably added a tad more black to the outer lid and crease. Otherwise, these are really pretty colors together.

Mineral Makeup 101 Basics Video Tutorial

Mineral Makeup 101 Basics Video Tutorial

This is just a little video tutorial on some Mineral Makeup 101 – How to apply mineral eye shadow with the dab/pat methods. There are many other methods, including foiling, using Pixie Epoxy (my personal favorite), or other mixing mediums as well as using bases like Paint Pots or Shade Sticks.

I showcase ecoTools brushes because I own about 40 of them, they’re easily accessible to most people, and I think they’re really good quality. You can buy several good sets from Amazon.com:
Alicia Silverstone set
6 Piece Eye Brush set
And you can also find them at Target, Walgreens, Walmart and other stores.
