St. Patrick's Day "Sultry Green Smokey Eye"

St. Patrick's is all about wearing green, so why not have festive makeup?

When many people think green makeup it seems clownish but it doesn't have to. In fact green is a great accent color for people with brown eyes. I have put together a green smokey eye that is really easy and doesn't go over the top. So when you find your self going out to the bar on St. Patty's day or any other time you can wear green eye shadow and still look fierce in 8 simple steps.

Final Product

Lets Get Started!!!

Step 1:

Apply eye shadow primer to your eye lids. This will help hold the eye shadow on and make the color more vibrant and long lasting.

Step 2: 

Apply base color (gold or yellow) all over lids from inner corners to outer.

Step 3:

Choose a light green color and blend it into the creases of your eyelids and down to your lash line creating a small wing to your eyes.

Step 4:

Use a dark green color on your lid starting mid way and then drag it out towards the wind you already created with the light green using it as a guide. 

Step 5:

Apply black eyeliner to the top and inner bottom lash lines. (You don't want to use a liquid eye liner for this look since that creates a strong dramatic line, you want to use a pencil for a smudged smokey eye look.)

Step 6:

Fill in your eyebrows, locking in the powder with clear mascara. You will also apply your mascara.

Step 7:

Apply concealer under your eyes and smooth out, then apply your foundation. After applying foundation use a highlighter in a C motion on your cheek bone this will help your eyes pop.

Step 8:

Apply blush and highlighting blush to your check bones.

I like to apply Bare Minerals "Warmth" blush and then go over it with "true" to give it a pink golden tone.

" A Mint For Your Face"

Clarifying Mud Mask

We are fast approaching Spring Break and laying in the sun with all kinds of oils on our faces, this is the time where we need to take really good care of our skin. This mud mask by Seacret was made to balance the moisture in your face, replenish, tighten pores, and nourish skin to leave it feeling smooth. It is recommended to use it once a week for 5 minutes which is very different from other face masks which usually take about 15-25 minutes to sit on your face before washing them off.


Erik and I just finished a month of testing the Seacret Dead Sea mask and it was fantastic. Erik called it "A mint for your face".
This is for men and women and is a fast and easy thing to do after you wash your face. It is very refreshing and I have been using it now for a month and have seen a difference in the texture of my skin; it used to get dried out in this arizona heat/dusty weather and now it doesn't. Erik's pores have gotten smaller and has gotten rid of hard to get black heads on his nose it has also helped his neck break outs from shaving; as i am sure all men have a problem with.
This product lasts a while too! Which makes it very cost effective. Every other mask I have bought has been gone in about 2 months and thats with just me using it, but with both Erik and I using it we have have barely put a dent in the container after only 1 month. It is nice to have a product that we as a couple can use together and both benefit from what it offers, check it out!
