Eye Shadow Look Of The Week

This is the Eye Shadow Look that I decided to use as an inspiration for my "Eye Shadow look of the week".  This is something that I stumbled across on Pinterest the other day and loved it for so many reasons. First of all I love how it can be worn in so many different ways, literally from morning until night.  I also love how it is a fairly easy look to accomplish with just a few steps. Some looks that you find on Pinterest are definitely a little more tricky so I thought for my first Eye Shadow Look Of The Week I would do something a little easier!  I'll show you how I used this look for inspiration for my makeup today! Let me know what you think and share with me your results!

The first step is applying a silver eyeshadow to your lid starting from the beginning and ending about halfway.  At the half way point you want to go a little darker, and find more of a gray shade and start working that from the middle of your lid to the outer corner of your eye.  This is going to help create the transition from the light to dark.  Don't worry the look will come more together once we start the fun part, adding the purple!! 

When looking for a purple eye shadow there are really no limitations. Choose whatever color works best for you and that you feel comfortable with!  I mixed a couple of my favorite purples together for my look!  I used a medium purple and mixed it with a darker purple with pink tones!  Using your brush you want to start blending the purple eye shadow in with the darker gray that we applied.  You want to blend the purple from the middle of your lid to the outer corner of your eye and also blending it slightly above your crease.  After you have done this step, if you really want to achieve the Pinterest look it is important to find a highlighter or an eye shadow that can work as a highlighter.  With this look there is definitely a lot of shimmer going on!  With your brush you want to take a highlighter and blend it from the beginning of your lid above your crease and work it right up under your brow bone, this is really going to help your look come together! Next you want to take the purple eye shadow and apply that underneath your lower lash line.  This is going to help you achieve the somewhat smokey eye from the Pinterest Picture.

The next step is eyeliner.  For this specific look a liquid eyeliner is going to be your best choice.  This helps give you the ability to really play with the shape and thickness of your eyeliner and help you better achieve this look.  You want to start by creating a medium/thick line above your upper lash line with your eyeliner and then fill it in.  Use the picture as a tool to help you get a better idea as to what thickness and shape to use. 

After this step you want to go ahead and use any dark black mascara that you have and apply that to both your upper and lower lashes.  If you want an extra dramatic look, try using false lashes and then applying your mascara!

Once you have completed this step you have finished your look!  I hope that this was helpful and please share with me your thoughts and your results if you happen to try this look out!

"Outfit Of The Week"

This is the outfit that Kendall Jenner just recently wore on the Dosso Dossi Fashion Show Runway in Turkey this week.  This outfit is super cute and perfect for this time of year.  Of all the outfits that were worn I had to choose this one for my "Outfit Of The Week" because I am just IN LOVE with it.  Please share your opinions in the comment section down below, and let me know if this is something that you would wear!  So what I decided to do is every week find the latest trends and outfits from the runways and recreate them for under $100.00, if you follow my blog you know my saying is "You don't have to have a million bucks, to look & feel like a million bucks!".  So I did some researching and investigating and came up with my recreation of this sexy look!

Flat Front Textured Shorts - $15.90

So when I looked for the shorts, I paid attention to the details of the shorts Kendall is wearing.  They do not appear to be jean, but rather knit shorts with very minimal details.  I found these shorts from Forever 21 selling for only $15.90!  They are called Flat Front Textured Shorts.  They are absolutely adorable and can be worn in so many different ways!  They have a textured woven fabric, and a concealed side zipper.

Lace Bandeau - $9.90

The next piece to this outfit is the black bandeau that Kendall is wearing underneath the blazer.  I know not everyone feels comfortable wearing such a revealing & short shirt, so you can absolutely replace it with a black tube top to still achieve the same look!  When looking for a shirt to help recreate this outfit I did choose to stay with the same style shirt, and found this adorable and sexy bandeau from Wet Seal. It features a sheer floral lace body with scalloped trim, a long line design, and a comfy stretchy fit.

Collarless Open-Front Blazer - $27.90

The piece that I think really brings this whole outfit together is the white blazer.  The one that Kendall is wearing is very specific, it is not too long (it actually looks shorter than the average blazer) stopping right above her waist.  I had a hard time finding a blazer that was just like this one but definitely found multiple blazers that were similar.  I came across this blazer from Forever 21, although it is collarless, I thought it had very similar structure and tailoring. Its clean with very modern lines. Super-fine tailoring and lightly padded shoulders give it some structure. 

The final piece to this look (since Kendall had no accessories) are the nude pumps!  I just thought the choice of shoe for this outfit was absolutely perfect, but there are so many other types of shoes and colors that can really work.  Try adding a pop of color by choosing a more bold shoe, like red or pink!  I found this shoe at Payless Shoe Source.  This pump features a faux suede upper, pointed toe, padded insole, wrapped 5 1/2" heel on a 2" platform,   and a durable outsole.


Hype Platform Pump - $19.99

So there you have it ladies! I recreated this look for under $100 and you can do it too!  Remember to share your opinions with me in the comment box below and let me know if you have any outfits you want me to recreate for my next "Outfit Of The Week".  Remember to follow me on here so you never miss a post and to check out my YouTube Channel!  Thanks! - Victoria

Sexy Date Night Makeup Tutorial!

First I started off by applying a primer to my entire face.  This is going to help your makeup stay in place and last longer!  Then I used my e.l.f conceal & highlighter and applied the concealer to my blemishes.  Tapping my fingers gently over the product to blend it in.

Then I took my Sephora 10HR Wear Perfection Foundation (check out my review on this product) and then used my Sephora 8HR Wear Mattifying Compact Foundation over my liquid foundation. Next I used my fan brush to contour my cheeks using my Sephora 101 Contour Palette.  I apply the product from the top of my ear down to the corner of my mouth, stopping about half-way down my cheek to help achieve a more natural finish.  Then I used a dark red blush above my cheekbones, and applied a highlighter to finish off the look. Moving on to the eyes, I first started by applying a light beige color all over my eyelids. Then I took a dark brown eyeshadow and applied it from the outer corner of my eye and worked it into the crease of my eye.  Above the brown eyeshadow I applied purple eyeshadow to add a little bit more definition to the look.


After applying my liquid eyeliner above my upper lashes and my mascara, I then took my gold glitter from the Revlon PhotoReady Lid, Line, Lash and applied it underneath my lower lashes.  To finish off this look completely I used my Maybelline Lip Liner in Nude, and my lipstick from Sephora!
