Purple & Gold look | MORPHE 35F palette

Hey everyone! The other night I was suffering from crazy insomnia so at 2am I decided to do an entire full face of makeup, like, WHY!? I couldn't sleep and had done everything but was still awake so my last resort was this haha I actually really liked the look and wished I was going somewhere to show it off. Thank God for pictures though! Keep reading to see how I got this look :)

GENERATION BEAUTY

 Hey everyone! Ok so not sure if you remember me talking about GENBEAUTY all over my snapchat and insta but this post is all about it. Back in December I got an email from the IpsyOS team inviting me to the event and that my ticket was complimentary. I was at work when I got the email and was so excited!! Excited because I'd been wanting to go to that event, excited because I was invited as a beauty creator and excited because, hello, MAKEUP!!

STYLECON

Im baaaaaaaaaack! Ok not that I was even gone for very long, but compared to my last actual post where I include more than motivation, Yeah; its been awhile! Since then I stuck it out a few more days until the weekend to see my daughter, forgot her costumes at home(since I was at my parents house) so we just stayed in for Halloween, the week she was gone I enjoyed QT with my husband and caught up on much needed cleaning.

Bringing me into the now, this past weekend I had the most amazing time at STYLECON! I went with my brother in laws girlfriend Miranda. Most of my friends may or may not know how much I love style, fashion and makeup so when I started asking around to see who wanted to go I didn't get the shared enthusiasm I had haha My sister actually feels the same way I do but her crazy work schedule prevented her from going. Then I remembered Miranda is a fashion student(who graduates in March woop woop)! Hellooooo, I should have asked her in the first place!! Plus she literally lives in the same area so yea, PERFECT! She was down from the minute asked and we definitely had a lot of fun. I wish through my pictures you can see how gorgeous setups were and I wish that the statement "this was a great event" really channels how great it was. My first time at an event like this and I was overwhelmed with the friendliness, gorgeousness, and empowering feeling inside the building. We got super cool goodie bags and at each little booth there were even more free things. A section where people were doing hair, nails and makeup.. FREE!!!! I met some great bloggers and one of my favorites, Kathleen!! Check out my Instagram and Facebook for more detailed pictures and links to my favorites. If this event happens next year you can believe I'll be there! & you should be too :) Sorry I didn't go into dramatic detail about it but I feel so lame because I've taken every opportunity to talk about it to anyone willing to listen haha If you have any more questions just comment or private message! Now I'll be back to regular posts ;)

Little Things

The title of this post is called "Little Things" because makeup is one of the little things that makes me feel better. After Olivia of course! Today she is FIVE MONTHS!! My beautiful baby is 5 months! Time is definitely flying by. She's been at her grandparents house this entire week and everyday I want to cry because of how much I miss her :( the house is so much quieter without her giggles and screams and baby shows playing in the back. We see her Saturday and my family keeps telling me to enjoy this little vacay but I cant. An extra hour of sleep is cool but I would rather loose all my sleep and be up with Olivia. Can you tell I miss my baby :(( haha Ok so my original motive for this post was to talk about MY SHITTY DAY AT WORK and how makeup is one of many things that makes me happy but I got distracted thinking about my cutie. Im not a pro makeup artist just a girl who loves makeup. Youtube is everything for beginners! I didn't start wearing makeup til 5 years ago and just got somewhat "good" at it during my pregnancy. The above pic is from my SNAPCHAT: @campbellsoup010 of my bathroom sink. We have 3 bathrooms and I designated one for just me ;) I ultimately want a makeup vanity and I planned on making our 3rd bedroom my makeup room but my husband said no -_- Still working on a good argument to get my way or brainstorm an idea of how to utilize the space so we can both get what we want. Hope your day was better than mine! Did I mention I cant wait to see Olivia and take her 5 month pics so her post can go up?? Moms can you feel me on this? Im so dramatic I know haha

Cherry Bomb

I dont really do too many bold lipsticks because that's way out of my comfort zone. I love them but I feel like they dont look good on me. No Im not fishing for compliments when I say that but it's just me. My lips naturally have a dark tint so I'd rather stick to my never failing neutrals and pinks. The rare occasion I do branch out its with my MAC Russian Red or Wet N Wild Cherry Bomb. The color in the above photo is Cherry Bomb. If you've ever swatched, or own, the color Sin by MAC this is dupe for it. & steal at $1.99! Its glossy and I mentioned a while back(National Lipstick Day post) how I matte it out with translucent powder. This color is great for fall and what I wore to the pumpkin patch. Now I'll share my mommy and me selfies from that day wearing it ;) smooches!
