FOTD: Sky Shadows

Hello Beauties,

I realized I have been sleeping on my MAC eyeshadows lately. Haven't been giving them the most love especially since other brands are cruising up to their level. So I pulled out the MAC babies today and wallah!!! Some of the items are from their new collection Heavenly Creatures.

FOTD: Southern Belle Grovin'

Hello Beauties,

I hope all is well. Today's look is featuring a brand that many would look pass and not give the time of day because it is found in most $1 stores; namely it is known as L.A. Colors. If you are familiar with my blog, you will know that I don't discriminate any brand of makeup, as long as it as some color to it and doesn't say "not safe for eye" then I will make it work.
L.A. Colors eyeshadows have been improving in quality over the years. There eyeshadows are becoming more pigmented and not so chalky but rather smooth in texture. Now too much chatter, unto to the look and of course I had to do a tutorial to this look. Just remember all you need is a decent eye primer/ base and you can rock out any inexpensive brand makeup.
