First Snowfall: A Winter Inspired Makeup Tutorial


Who doesn't love snow? I love snow! Too bad where I live it hasn't snowed yet, and it's almost January! :( I thought it would be fun to do a look inspired by snow, and maybe just maybe, if I did this look it would snow. We'll have to see.

This is a collaboration with EmmaLoveBeauty. Here's her video:




Make sure you checkout her look and her channel. Emma created a less dramatic version of "The First Snowfall" she has minimal shadows on her lids, and some liner. While I have a lot of shadows blended in every which way.

Staple Beauty Products for Winter


What are your "must haves" for the winter time? I decided it would be a great idea to make a video about all my favorite beauty products for the winter time. Like the things I like to wear, and the makeup I like to see; that kinda thing. 

When I first started filming this video, it sounded like a favorites video but it really isn't; it's more like my winter makeup essentials. I will also be creating a second video for my staple fashion pieces. I'm super excited about that one because I never never do fashion videos, just outfit of the days. I also never do hair tutorials; hmm.. maybe some other time.
