Everyday Fall/Winter Makeup Look

For winter, I love copper, gold and brown eyeshadows.  And I found this awesome cheap palette that has all of these colors.  I will have a review up soon but it is my favorite palette for fall/winter.  This is one of the many simple looks you can do with only 3 colors.  I know in the morning I am tired as heck and don’t want to be using 50 different colors so I came up with this simple easy and pretty look that can be worn everyday for school and work.

Fashion and Makeup for a Quinceañera Guest

Last week I was searching the internet trying to find out what to wear for a Quinceañera but had very little luck.  I took some of the basic tips that I found and transformed them  into my own style.  The Quinceañera I’m going to is in the early fall (September) so all the outfits will reflect the what I think I would be appropriate in that kind of weather.  I have also included a simple makeup look for the party at night.

Everyday Look by Sephora Matte Madness

I bought the Sephora Collection Colorful Palette in Matte Maddness.  I needed a palette for vacation and this one was perfect.  The first color is a pink white, the second is a apricot brown, the third is a dark brown, the fourth is a taupe color and the fifth is the eyeliner.   I used all the colors except the taupe.  If you guys want a tutorial using the taupe, just ask!
