Oceanic Aquamarine Makeup







The inspiration for this look comes directly from the water in the ocean. From the deep blue marine tones to the light aqua seafoam washing up with every wave, this look is an ode to the ocean. I paired it with a coral red-orange lip to accent the blue-green color scheme on the eyes. I couldn't help myself and painted my nails with the new Deborah Lippmann color, "Mermaid's Dream", it was too perfect for this makeup. I had to snap a couple of pictures of my nails with the makeup, and as you can see, the combination is a match made in heaven. This look is eye-catching and ideal for a fun summer night. To find out how to achieve this look, please watch my Youtube tutorial:

Prom Pictures!

Here's a view of my hair from the back; I did a simple, low side bun. 
Here's a view of my hair from the side, you can also see my earrings and hair clip.
I snapped a photo of my ring to show the intricate, vintage detailing.

Here's a photo of me in my dress.



I had to post this picture of my wonderful mother, my sweet puppy Amélie, and I.  I think it's too cute! 

I recently went to prom and wanted to share a few photos with you. They are not incredibly picturesque as they were snapped quickly before we left at a friend's house. I did my own hair and makeup, and would be more than happy to film a tutorial of this look. To find out where I purchased all of the items I'm wearing, please read below:

Guerlain Emilio Pucci Tutorial



This is a look featuring Guerlain's Summer 2012 Emilio Pucci collection. I used the quad, Capri, and the Terra Azzurra bronzing powder. At first I contemplated needing this quad, but after purchasing it with the help of a coupon, I love it. Everyone of all ages need this quad; the colors are rich, summery, and provide every color you need for a signature summer look. I filmed a tutorial using this quad that I'm quite pleased with. It uses all of the colors and creates a defined, elegant, stunning result. I'm wearing the look in the photo of me showing the quad, and the photo below is a close up of the look. The pigmentation is unbelievably vivid and the colors flow seamlessly together. To see how I achieved this look, please visit my tutorial on Youtube:

Please look forward to swatches of the other items in the collection, I'll do a post on that soon :)
