Red Nail Polish Stain Be Gone!

Seeing as it's Holiday season and everyone at some point will more than likely slap on a festive red nail polish! I thought I would share a quick trick to help you remove the inevitable nasty red stainage! 
All you'll need is regular baking soda and warm water!
So ya know, starting out like this... Haha. 
Mix about 2 tablespoons of baking soda and a tablespoon of water in a small bowl to make a paste. 
Scoop some up with a toothbrush!
And scrub for about a minute on each hand. 
And once you rinse your hand with water...
TAAADAAA!! You're ready for your next polish! Please excuse my poor thumb. 
Thank you so much for reading and I hope this tip will be super helpful to anyone who love nail polish like myself! 
Happy Holidays

Deep Fall/Winter Smokey Eye and Lip

HELLOOO! Since we have now passed Halloween season and are getting into the Holiday party season I wanted to give you a really fun and BOLD Fall/Winter makeup that is simple, but will make you look polished and put together in about 10 minutes!
Let's get started!

Take a black cream shadow, I'm using the NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Black Bean, and apply it to the mobile lid and blend it out with your finger.
 Press a black shadow over the pencil to prevent creasing. I love these jumbo pencils for quick color pay off but they can easily crease and wear off if you don't set them.

 Now taking Nooner from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette on a fluffy brush and BLEND down into the black and slightly up through and above the crease. I didn't work too hard at blending it too far up so you get more of a solid striking look.

Line the lower lash line with a black eyeliner pencil and smudge as little (at least a little!!) or as much as you would like to achieve a smokey, open eyed look. You can add some black shadow if you want to smoke it out even more!

With a small flick line the upper lash line with a liquid liner and line the lower water line with a long lasting white eyeliner pencil. Now add your favorite mascara!! You can add lashes too!. I'm not going to lie, I'm usually pretty displeased with lashes when I wear them. Not that they don't look FANTASTIC... I just get so annoyed with them and if something happens in the middle of the day and they start to fall off and you don't have extra glue with you... and your makeup comes off with the lashes if you decide to pull them off... I'm ranting. I apologize! HA!
Moving on to the lips...


As a base I put down NYX Simply Vamp Lip Cream in Covet. Press your lips into a dirty paper towel, OBVIOUSLY. (Don't worry I used it to clean off the black from the makeup brush!) Then apply a coat of NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Snow white.
And YOU'RE DONE!
