Thanksgiving Makeup Look

Turkey, turkey, turkey!!! I love Thanksgiving because people are a little nicer than usual. Not as nice during the Christmas season, but nice enough to say thank you for every nice things you do for them. It's true! For some reason it puts people in a good mood lol. It's also the only time my neighbor says hi to me in the elevator O_o jk. But seriously, I love Thanksgiving because its another way for family and friends to get together, be happy and feast on a huge roast turkey! Oh yeah, I love the combo of turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce and etc. So delicious and looks very pretty as a spread on the table.

With that being said, I did a Thanksgiving makeup look inspired by the warm colors of Thanksgiving. I used orange-y copper, rich browns and cranberry colors for the eyes paired with a no fuss nude lips using a nude lip liner and a clear gloss. It's a very rich and beautiful look and it's super easy to do!

I got this dress at San Pedro Wholesale Mart in Downtown L.A. Fashion District for $5. I love it because it gives me the illusion of a tiny waist haha! Also, it matches my makeup without making it look tacky.

I've been using my Dermalogica skin kit in Oily

 and Cellnique moisturizer and I've seen an improvement on my skin. My pores looks smaller yay!

My Fav Fall Makeup Look...dark plum lips

 Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a great week. I'm feeling extra good today because it was my day off. I got to sleep in which was the best thing ever and, I got to relax and chill by myself ^_^. For this post, I just wanted to share my favorite fall makeup look. This is the look I've been doing a lot this season. I did some defined neutral eyes with some false lashes paired with dark plum lips. Years ago, I didn't think I would be able to pull off this kind of look but now I love it. It's such a gorgeous look. The dark lips gives it a sophisticated and pretty look. I hope you guys like it.

watch the video tutorial below if you want to learn how I did this look ^_^

I curled my hair with a flat iron for the first time. It was a big fail lol. It curled half of my hair the right way and the other half was all over the place lol. I kind'a winged it by making it look messy and wavy ^_^

NYX round lipstick in Medusa is a rich dark plum shade. It's such a gorgeous color and the perfect lip color for fall.

LOOK: Summer to Fall Makeup

Yesterday, Los Angeles hit a 113-115 degrees and it was the hottest day ever recorded in the history of L.A.  OMG, my skin felt like it was literally burning under the hot sun, I was sweating like crazy, the metal buckle on my purse was burning my arm and, I felt like I was dying. I've never killed so many water bottles in one day. At one point, I  didn't even want to leave to work where the a.c. was full blast lol

I don't know what's up with this weird weather but I hope this heat goes away soon and I am so ready for fall. With that being said, here is a makeup look combining burnt orange, shimmery burgundy and dark plum eyes with peach lips, colors that represents the transition from Summer to Fall. There is no video tutorial since it was too hot to film but I still hope you guys like it.
