I have always been a lover of arts and crafts since I was a little kid. My school projects always consisted of glitter, scented markers, stickers, and whatever I could glue on poster board. Many of you don't know that my hobby is making things - cards, photo books, home decor items, etc. I can spend hours at Michael's or at JoAnn's, browsing through all the aisles of crafty things. With makeup taking a majority of my time I usually don't have time or space (half of our 800sq ft. condo is already filled with makeup and a few storage bins of scrapbook paper and crafty "stuff) until I found this picture (the picture is from her blog but I first saw it on Instagram) from my new friend Candi aka <a href="http://filoeyecandi.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">FILOEYECANDI</a>'s Filofax. It literally was love at first sight - creativity, cute crafty things, paper, washi tape .. I was in heaven. This was my calling ... it was time to get organized and at the same time use my creative skills that I always have deep down inside me. <br />

<br />
What is a Filofax? Well it's a personal organization planner/binder from a company in the UK. Very similar to a At-A-Glance planner or a Daytimer that most of us in the US are accustomed to. You can customize it your lifestyle with a monthly calendar or if you prefer a weekly calendar, add a shopping or check list, email address of your friends from high school.. practically everything and anything you can include. But the fun part is decorating your pages to your liking - add washi tape as a border, stamp days of the week on your calendars, support your lists with cute little paperclips or use scrapbook paper to create inspirational add one note cards. Possibilities are endless!<br />

I knew I had to stock up on supplies and it was perfect timing because it was Memorial Day. The first thing I ordered was the <a href="http://www.filofaxusa.com/domino-patent-organiser-0224-a5-143po.html" target="_blank">Filofax Domino A5 Organiser </a>in Hot Pink! I first saw it on Candi's IG and I knew I had to have one in this color. The title picture above is the organiser open and below is it closed. The bright pink reminds me of MAC Candy Yum Yum Lipstick. <br />

<br />
Next I went all over the internet looking for Filofax goodies to grace my pages. Instagram is very good source to get inspiration for your pages but also to see where everyone in the Filofax community gets there cute little supplies. I kept seeing washi tape from the dollar section at Target hauls.... would I be able to get my hands on this? I guess we will see.<br />
<br />
I'll post my hauls in the next couple of days so you can follow me on my journey. Every week I will post my layout of my weekly calendar and share what's in my Filofax! I can't wait to add a creative side to VILLABEAUTIFFUL. <br />
<br />
Do you decorate your planner? I would love to see how use your planner as a creative outlet... tweet me - VILLABEAUTIFFUL<br />

<a href="http://www.colourpop.com/" target="_blank">Colour Pop Cosmetics</a> is seriously bad ass, seriously. If you LOVE glittery, creamy and pigmented shadows I just found your new soul mate! I usually find all my beauty finds on Instagram. C'mon don't tell me you don't sit in bed browsing through your feed because you can't sleep. For some reason I feel like it's happening to me more and more every night. I am such a sucker for glittery/mettalic things that when I first saw these white pots I just had to have them (and I know after this post you will too!). <br />
<br />
<br />
The shadow is just not your average powder shadow it's like a hybrid of a cream and powder put together in one for a super shimmery pot of goodness. The pigmentation and color pay-off is top notch! The design imprinted on the shadow goes away but the shimmer/glitter/metallic does not! Oh and did I mention they are only $5!!! YES! I went crazy and bought a few and then bought a few more. I'm typing away and I feel like I need to finish my collection. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are like me - loves to shop online but hate to wait for the package to get in your hands don't you worry! The shipping was super quick and get this ... free shipping over $30 ... let me break it down that's 6 little Colour Pop Super Shock Shadows!! Let me give you a tour of my Colour Pop Cosmetics collection. <br />

I am so happy to announce that VillabeauTIFFul.com will be getting a makeover! YAY! I have been thinking about rebranding for such a long time that I felt it was the right time to finally do it. I am so blessed with amazing followers, thank you for your patience and putting up with my laziness! I am currently working with Emma Burton from <a href="http://www.inspireandinstyle.com/" target="_blank">Inspire and InStyle </a>for a whole new look to Villabeautifful! She's a makeup lover so I knew right away she was my gal, plus I like her style a lot. I am beyond excited and I totally feel like it is the right time. With this new look means more content including tutorials, reviews / swatches of popular brands and of course lots of MOTDS. Plus I am excited to take you inside my personal life as a newlywed wife.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am always on the hunt for new makeup inventions that will make my life as a pro makeup artist and as a makeup addict so much easier. I have been a huge fan of <a href="http://www.veramona.com/" target="_blank">Vera Mona Color Switch Duo</a> since I saw it on IG. It literally is one of the best makeup inventions ever that I have come across. If you only have a few makeup brushes and need to quickly clean your brush to move on to your next color, this product makes it so simple! Keep in mind that it does NOT sanitize your brushes but rubs away the pigment left from your previous shadow to move on to the next one. This is should only be used for quick color changes if you do not have a spare brush on hand. For instance using a black shadow first and then using a white... if you don't clean the brush you will get a gray color instead of pure white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here are the steps:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1. Take your pigmented brush (I find that flat brushes work better MAC #252 or #242 brushes) and swipe it back and forth against the black sponge. The friction of you rubbing the hairs against the black sponge pulls the eye shadow pigment from the brush. Do this for both sides until it looks clear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2. For the middle white sponge all you need to do it soak it with water and press your eye shadow brush to use it for wet makeup applications like pigments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you are a makeup addict you really need this product in your life! I've seen some other makeup enthusiast make their own. Try it and see if it works for you. My husband was even amazed and couldn't stop playing with it. lol </div>

I created this look with the <a href="http://www.bellettostudio.com/" target="_blank">Belletto Studio</a> Airbrush System from the face, eyes and lips. Yes, can you believe it?! The only thing I added was a pencil for my waterline, mascara, false eyelashes and of course my brows (but you can also airbrush your brows too!). I personally love it because it feels super light and does not look cakey because of its natural finish it creates. You literally can do any makeup with your airbrush, and it will last all day. YES, no need for touch-ups and it's super easy to do apply on yourself. More airbrush looks to come and a review of the system including the colors.</div>

Over the weekend I was able to play with my friend's Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette and this was the result! I've never tried Sugarpill I was very impressed with the intense pigment of the shadows LOVE! Can't wait to try some of their other products. What are your favorites?<br />
<br />
I also used Violet Voss glitter in Fairy Dust for added touch of glitter to the lower lash line and Alter Ego Lashes Stop & Stare and Final Touch stacked.

<br />
I have finally found a hair product that helps me achieve super straight hair. You may not know this but I have thick naturally curly hair, it's been like this since I was a child. I remember when I was in 2nd grade my classmates would ask me why my hair was so big for a short kid. Hair straighteners were not popular back then or else I would be totally doing it in the 2nd grade. Because of my unruly hair I always had short hair because I didn't know how to take care of it until high school. Everything changes in high school and during this time hair straighteners were as popular as curling irons.<br />
<br />
Now it's 2014 and there are so many hair products that help you get that super straight sleek hair, I've always wanted. I was very fortunate to find Agave Oil on Instagram. Many of my Instagram friends have been using their products and I knew that I need to give it a try and hope it works for me. I was sent their Smoothing Trio for review and I am so happy to share it with all of you who suffer from the same hair troubles as me!<br />

The <a href="http://www.sephora.com/smoothing-trio-P378708?icid2=Agave_strenghtenandsmooth_Carousel_P378708_image" target="_blank">Agave Healing Oil Smoothing Trio </a>features three products: - 2 oz Oil Treatment,
4 oz Smoothing Shampoo and 4 oz Smoothing Conditioner. This is a great set to try the products first to see how they work for you before committing to the larger sizes. My hair straightner is HSI and I bought it off Amazon, it's a pretty powerful little hair straightener that heats up to 400 degrees. I do have a Chi, but it broke last week. All that hair straighteners that I've had in the past don't last very long.. probably at most 3 months. :( Agave Oil does have their own <a href="http://www.sephora.com/healing-vapor-iron-P384768?icid2=Agave_strenghtenandsmooth_Carousel_P384768_image" target="_blank">Healing Vapour Iron </a>that I am dying to try now since I have had great results from their products. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorite product in the kit and I find that really helps get the super sleep straight hair is the oil treatment. Ladies, a little goes a long way trust me!!! I know the scent and the super silky feeling of your hair after you apply it will make you want more, but no don't even try. This is the best stuff! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the exact write up from Sephora.com regarding the oil treatment:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>What it is: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A non-greasy, lightweight hair oil that instantly smooths, seals, and adds shine to all hair types.
</div>
<br />
<b>What it does:</b><br />
Restore and rejuvenate unmanageable, frizzy hair with the hydrating and
color-restoring sugars of the agave plant. Unlike heavy nut oils, this
plant extract conditions hair with a light touch, building strength and
resiliency, while helping boost vibrancy and color. Other natural
botanicals like coconut, vanilla, sunflower, and safflower are blended
with Madagascar baobab seed oil to nourish and transform hair’s outer
layer.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I really do not need to argue about these statements because they are all TRUE! Look at my before and afters.... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is how my hair looks right after I blow dry it once I get out of the shower. Look how dull and frizzy my hair is especially in the front where I have naturally curly hair. If you are wondering about my lip color it is <a href="http://www.aromibeauty.com/" target="_blank">Aromi Beauty</a> Forbidden Fuchsia Liquid Matte Lipstick. <br />

A couple of minutes later look how shiny and straight my hair is! YAY! I just add a small amount of the Agave Oil Treatment to my hands and run my hands through my hair focusing near the front. I usually have to do 3-4 passes with my hair straightener but with the oil I only did 1-2. Love how the oil made the purple in my hair bright and glossy. <br />

<br />
I cannot get enough of this palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. All the colors are up my alley, it literally is my go-to palette at the moment. I've created everyday looks to dark smokey makeups such as this tutorial that I am sharing with all of you today.<br />
<br />
I was looking through all of my tutorials and it seems like I haven't done a dark smokey one in awhile plus I haven't done a YouTube tutorial FOREVER! I do apologize for the lack of videos, but remember you can always follow me on Instagram. I guess the reason why I hate making videos is because I always get stuck on what to show you guys! BLAH! Plus I hate editing, it's more of a love/hate relationship.<br />
<br />
Anyways, lets get back to to the look.<br />
<br />

I love anything Rose Gold so when I was sent these beautiful beautiful brushes from <a href="http://www.luxielush.com/" target="_blank">LuxieLush</a>, I was in heaven!!! These are the brushes that I used to create this look in my video. You get 12 brushes for eyes and lips with the brush cylinder case - a full set to complete a full makeup look. The brushes are super soft and made very well. I always feel guilty using these brushes because they are just too pretty to use! </div>

Can you believe Spring is already here? Time to put away the heavy sweaters, wool coats, and snow boots (I hope for those of you on the E.Coast) and bring out the airy, pastel hue dresses, and blouses. Now that you have your fashion pieces all squared away what about your accessories? A great way to accessories your spring fashion wardrobe is to change up your makeup! This season's makeup trends are all very wearable and will complement all skin tones. I attended Nordstrom's Spring Trend Show over the weekend so I was inspired break down some of my favorite looks that I compiled into 1 look. And yes, there is a giveaway at the end of the post!! <br />

<h3>
<b> GLOWING SKIN</b></h3>

<br />
Glowing skin was revealed on the spring 2014 runway at 3.1 Phillip Lim and <br />
Christian Siriano S/S 2014 Collection . The look is the sheer coverage foundation - no makeup look but with a touch of luminosity. Your skin just glows just like in front of candlelight. It is fresh and organic looking. <br />

<br />
To recreate a glowy look at home is so easy! 1 product is all you really need - MAC Cream Color Base in Pearl. The product is a multipurpose cream that can be used on it's own, with foundation, as an eye shadow base or simple as an highlighter as I did here. Pearl can be applied with your finger (the warmth of your finger helps blend out the product) to the higher plains of the face. Just a few light touches is all you need. <br />

<br />
Brighten up your eye makeup with soft washes of iridescent whites on the lid paired with pastel eye shadows just like models from Alice + Olivia and Isabel Marant at NYFW. To keep white from looking stark pair with what you are familiar and comfortable with - neutrals. If you are still uncertain about white use it as a highlighter towards the inner tearduct and under the brow bone. The models above wear the white nicely!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I love using eye shadow to brighten up the eye, even just placed on the lid it really does make a difference. My favorite white eye shadow is MAC White Frost. The color is a bright white with icy shimmer ( no sparkles in this one, just a frost finish). If you are having difficulty with the white shadow to stay as vivid like mine in the picture make sure you use an eye shadow base before. Everyone always wants to know how to make their eyes appear brighter, wider, more awake. Lining your waterline with a white eyliner such as MAC Fascinating Eye Kohl will do exactly that. It does get some use to but once you get the hang of it you will notice a big difference. A little tip - try to keep the liner right in the waterline. Then take your everyday eyeliner right where your lashes begin to grow to make your lashes look fuller. <br />

<b> </b>It seems like everywhere you go you will see someone with a winged out, cat eye liner. It really adds some shape and dimension to your eye looks just like these looks from Tracy Reese and Rodarte from their 2014 Spring collections. Always a classic look that is timeless but with lots of detail. <br />
<br />
<br />

If you are scared using a liquid liner no worries! MAC Smolder Eye Kohl is a cult favorite. It is an extreme black eye pencil that is perfect for blending out to create a smokey look or to wing out with an eyeliner brush. This isn't waterproof so try to keep it out of the waterline or else you will have little raccoon eyes. <br />

While researching for this post this was probably the most popular look found all over the runways especally at John Galliano and Dennis Basso for Spring 2014 NYFW. The orange is so striking and makes a bold statement against a perfect flawless face. Women don't tend to gravitate to an orange lipstick but it complements different skin tones very well. If you can't do a bright neon organge, look for a pinkish/orange or a reddish/orange that is more on your comfort level.<br />

Ever since my honeymoon to the Philippines I have been into brighter lips. But for some reason I didn't even have true bright orange lipstick in my collection! I had to get MAC Morange Lipstick when I was at the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.coupons.com/coupon-codes/nordstrom/%3Fpid%3D13306%26nid%3D10%26zid%3Diq37%26PLID%3Dcc_blogpost%26CRID%3DspringTrends%26varb%3D10002&usd=2&usg=ALhdy2890_PfpCdZwVH9lnRZqmbB5bJRiQ" target="_blank">Nordstrom </a>Trend Show to add to my lipstick collection If you are not comfortable with a brighter lip, just blot some of the remaining pigment on a tissue. You can even just apply the color to the center of the lips and press your lips together to move the color around. I love this color on me and it really complemented the eyes very well! <br />

This is how your jewlery will be sent to you. A basic white decent sized box. I always get excited when I receive boxes like these :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Right when you open the box you will see a nicely wrapped package with the Olia Box logo sealing the tissue paper. Cute packaging is always a great first impression, but there's more .... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When you unwrap the tissue paper you get little welcome and thank you card detailing your box. It's always nice when you have the company saying "thank you" for purchasing their product, makes me feel acknowledged. </div>

The backside of the postcard with the picture of the two illustrated girls features a guide on how to care for your new jewelry. I thought this was a great decision and very helpful for subscribers. You want your new pieces of jewlery to be with you for a long time, right? </div>

I only wear stud earrings so these were just perfect. One of the backs
to the earrings was a little loose but no worries I can replace it with
another one. The center is gold texture pattern with gray outlining it. Pretty combination of colors. I totally see myself dressing this up and down. Very versatile. </div>

After 6 months of being married my husband and I finally went on our honeymoon to Hong Kong and the Philippines (Manila, Cebu and Boracay). It was such an awesome vacation and happy I was able to share my homeland with my new husband. I've been to the Philippines 3 times already but for the MR. It was his first. I was scared to see how he would react especially in the Philippines but to my amazement he LOVES it! He wants us to find a condo as our vacation home. Yay! We had a great time and didn't want to go back home. </div>

Being a beauty junkie my favorite part of Hong Kong was Sasa!!! Oh my goodness. Literally every city block had a Sasa. If you don't know what Sasa is it's best described as an Asian Sephora - different Asian beauty brands (Japanese, Korean, Chinese) skincare, haircare, makeup, nails, etc. it was so much fun going into each one everywhere we went. The MR. was so amazed how many there were in a short radiance from each other. The picture shows some of the products that I picked up. I wanted more but knew that I had to limit myself since we still have to make it to the Philippines. </div>

The view from our hotel room at the Sofitel Manila Plaza. Such a beautiful hotel outside of Makati. Can you see the Ferris Wheel? That's Mall of Asia- one of the biggest malls in Asia less than 5 min from our hotel via taxi. The big building in front is the Manila Film Centre. </div>

I'm a little late figuring out the settings on my camera (1 year later) but I am so happy that I did! Pictures are clear and the colors are vibrant. I have been getting a lot of people asking me why I have a glowing ring in my eyeballs. That is the reflection from my new lighting! Gotta have good lighting for makeup pictures/videos especially when you do everything at night around 11pm.<br />
<br />
Anyways here's today's festive look!<br />
<br />
1. Prime lid with <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-6-jumbo-eye-pencil.aspx" target="_blank">NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Green</a>. This is how I achieved the vibrant green on the lid. The green is gorgeous even used on it's own. <br />
2.<a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-201-love-in-rio-eye-shadow-palette.aspx" target="_blank"> NYX Cosmetics Love In Rio En Fuego Eye Shadow Palette</a> The middle color (purple burgandy shade) used above the crease. <br />
3. <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-200-love-in-paris-eye-shadow-palette.aspx" target="_blank">NYX Cosmetics Love In Paris C'est La Vie Eye Shadow Palette </a>for highlight, crease and lid. <br />
4. <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-155-roll-on-eye-shimmer.aspx" target="_blank">NYX Cosmetics Roll On Shimmer Nude </a>with <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-53-liquid-crystal-liner.aspx" target="_blank">Liquid Crystal Liner Crystal Champagne</a> (the new color is now Crystal Silk) for bottom liner. <br />
5. Line eye with <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-170-gel-liner-and-smudger.aspx" target="_blank">NYX Gel Liner in Jet Black</a>. I even used this product very lightly for my brows but I mixed it with the dark brown gel liner too. <br />
5. Lashes are <a href="http://www.houseoflashes.com/collections/premium-luxe/products/pixie-luxe" target="_blank">House of Lashes Pixie Luxe</a> with Bohemian Princess stacked on top of each other<br />
Can't forget about the @hairandmakeupaddiction brushes to create this look <br />

I hope all of you have enjoyed my reviews regarding The Color Workshop Holiday 2013. It was a lot of fun taking pictures and swatching the products for you, but I am not done yet! :) One last set to share and this one is the big one!! Seriously, look at this set for only $24.99!!! YES! I would really recommend this kit to the makeup ethusiast who is just starting out with makeup who's on a budget but would like something affordable. With the past sets that I reviewed I have been overall very impressed with the products. There's always the mindset that inexpensive makeup is not good makeup - because it's "cheap" their is lack of pigmentation and longevity. This is not entirely true with many affordable brands out there. People just need to give them a try! As a makeup artist I am always on the hunt for good, affordable makeup for everyone from beginner to advanced. With that being said, The Color Workshop is on my list for affordable brands to look for.<br />
<br />
Now, I think it's time to show you the Triple Play Train Case through my pictures. These photos have no filters or have not been altered in any way. Pictures are taken in natural day light (thank goodness there's some sun in Seattle today!). <br />

The train case is like a mini makeup briefcase or you can call it a traveling jewelry box filled with makeup! The case is very sturdy and made very well. When you open the case up there are 3 sections - lets go over these sections in more detail.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>First Tray - Eye Shadows:</b> The top tray are all eye shadows, 34 different colors/finishes to pick
from. The trays all the products sit in are plastic and a bit flimsy.
This should only concern you if you plan on taking the trays out of the
case. Just like from my previous post the shimmer overlays on the
shadows do tend to disappear right after you use them for the 1st time.
Even with the shimmer overlay the shadows are still pigmented as you
will see from the swatches. However, I did find that the
non-shimmery/frosty shades in this set did not have as much color payoff
as the rest. You will see from the swatches the matte shades compared
to the shimmer/frosty ones as they really stand out with high
pigmentation. <br />

For the white, silver and black I added the lonely 1 shadow at the end of the tray with these guys. Look how pigmented that frosty white is!! I did have to swatch the matte black about 2-3 times just for it to go deep dark for the camera to pick up. I wasn't feeling the browns/golds they were very muted on my skin tone. </div>

I really like the greens in this set! See how much the shimmer shadows stand out? Now for the pinks they kinda got lost except for the first frosty shade. The last pink shade is a matte, I had to apply this several times but still no go for the camera. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The first shade for the top row (darker browns) did not show up at all on my skin tone. The color was supposed to be a beige/bisque tone, it is a matte shade so this could be why. Again, I find that the shimmer/frosty shades were better pigmented than the other finishes (this is my opinion). Look at how vibrant the pinks are though!!! You will find the brighter colors have better color payoff. </div>

Did they save the best for last? GAH! AMAZING! I really like these colors together and the pigmentation is top notch! I will be doing a MOTD (makeup of the day) with these colors on my Instagram so make sure you follow me to see the look. From the picture it looks like the deep bluish/purple shadow is matte but actually it is not. It has a little bit of reddish-pinkish sparkle very pretty!</div>

<b>Second Tray - Cream Eyeliners, Lip Glosses, Blushes and Shimmer Highlighters.</b> When I first opened this drawer I was instantly mesmerized by the blushes and shimmer highlighters.

I would totally purchase these blushes if they sold them separately or even in a blush palette. The colors are gorgeous! The highlighters do look very light in the picture but if applied with a fan brush for a light application it would give a nice glow. </div>

The glosses are non-sticky sheer washes of color with little sparkle (some without) which is perfect for glosses (in my opinion). I did find a bit of a lipstick-y smell (I really don't know how to describe the smell but it's not bad. They did not have a taste to them. I can't stand having a lip product with a strong smell that tastes like how it smells. Yuck! Thank goodness in this case that is not a problem. Since there are only 2 lipsticks in the set (more about them later) it was nice to see a variety of colors in the glosses. </div>

The Cream Eyeliners are so creamy and smooth, would make great eye shadow bases for a bolder look. I think I will incorporate these with my MOTD that I will post. I don't think these will dry out in the tray, but I could be wrong. They are pretty creamy. <br />

I'll just be very straight forward with this one ... didn't like it. I have seen these glitter creams from other companies before and haven't been in a fan. Why? Well, they don't stay on and they get chunky. If you want glitter eyelids use straight up cosmetic grade glitter (I use a lot of different brands for my MOTD's) with some adhesive. I did not like how these went on - it did not evenly distribute. I even had to use my finger to swatch these and the swatch wouldn't even leave my finger to make the swatch on my hand. Not sure if this product was dried up but did not have a good experience. <br />

What is this? WHOA! Totally different from the first set. Look how evenly these distributed! So the first set must be dried out (this is what I think). I wouldn't really really say glitter but more like a metallic shimmer cream. I'm really liking the gold one! </div>

These are the two lipsticks - light pink and a berry red. Very creamy and smooth. Think of all the lip combinations you can create when you add all the different lip glosses! You would be set!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry for the picture heavy post for this review. I just wanted to make sure you saw everything and knew everything you wanted to know about this set. Keep an eye on it at your local Walmart as they will be cutting the prices down closer to Christmas. Hopefully you can snag yours as it is a great value for everything you are getting, especially for the shadows.<br />
<br />
Now I can go finish my Christmas Cards .. YUCK I am sooooo behind. lol<br />

Today I am bringing you another great set from The Color Workshop. The Art of Eye Makeup Set features all eye products to create a variety of eye looks from natural to deep dark smokey. Just like the previous set the colors are cool and warm to cater to different skin tones and to play with different makeup styles. If you have someone on your holiday lists that likes to play with their eye makeup this set is just for them even if they are just beginning with their skills or advanced. <br />
<br />
Let me break down the set for you. No filters were used with the pictures but I did use my ring light for light. It's been hard to take some great shots here in Seattle .. dark and gray all the time. <br />

The set comes with two compacts each with 9 shadows. One set is more warm (golden undertone shades) and the other more cool (blues, and purples). There are also 4 Jumbo Eye Crayons, 4 Metallic Liquid Liners and 1 Mascara. </div>

This is the cooler toned palette with frost/shimmer to matte finishes. Look how beautiful the
printed top of the frosty/shimmer shadows are! I noticed after you use
the first layer (the first layer has the most shimmer) that it is not as
shimmery as it was before. The shadows though are very pigmented! I did not use an eye shadow primer to do these swatches. For an inexpensive set the shadows are very impressive.<br />

Now for the warmer eye shadow palette - again I am loving the pigmented shadows!! Look how well they went on - not streaky at all. Even the lightest shade (ivory/beige) showed up nicely on my skin tone. This would be a beautiful palette for green/hazel eyes as these shades will really enhance the coloring. <br />

Here are the Jumbo Eye Pencils which can be used as an eye shadow base. I didn't find the pencils to be very pigmented, they did however glide on very well. The swatch above is just one glide of the pencil. You can barely see the gold on on my skin with the two lighter colors looking a little chalky. The blue shade did stand out against my skin tone though, would be nice to use as base with the cool based eye shadow palette. </div>

Now I was really happy with these liquid metallic liners! Look how gorgeous they went on and I wish my camera captured the soft sparkle in each of them. Even the black was like a gunmetal metallic sheen. It was really nice how they offered liners to match with the eye shadow palettes. I would have loved to see a purple, but that's just me I love anything purple! The applicator was very easy to apply the liner. Usually flimsy applicators do not give straight lines but this one did. Overall really pleased with these. <br />

I hope you guys like my review on The Color Workshop Art of Eyes Makeup Set! You can find it at Walmart for around $9.99 - also the company told me that as Christmas approaches they do mark them down so you can probably find all these sets as at great price! </div>

Just wanted to post this real quick for all of you. I knew the new UD Naked 3 Eye Shadow Palette would be popular but I didn't know it would this BIG! I really like this palette because it's still has your neutral tones but with a little more color like the pink hues. For those of you wanting to get some inspiration for an everyday look (I know some of you might not think this is an everyday look, but you have the choice to make it less dramatic) with the palette watch my tutorial below! I will be posting a smokey look soon so make sure you subscribe to my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=villabeautifful" target="_blank">YouTube Channel </a><br />

I remember when I was younger Santa would always have a makeup set for me to play with (I think this is why I am a makeup artist today). The older I got family members would always gift me with makeup sets, which I totally loved. I prefer sets than individual products - better value for everything that you get. Also usually when you purchase sets all the colors and products work together, this is another added plus! <br />
<br />
The next couple of days I will be featuring some holidays sets from The Color Workshop. Affordable sets you can gift to any makeup addict new or old.<br />
<br />
The first set is the Drama Queen 20 Piece Makeup Collection. YES! 20 pieces, with all the colors working with each other. If you follow me regularly you know I love PURPLE! I literally have in infatuation with purple shadows. I think this set was made for me hahahaha, not really but I can dream it was.<br />
<br />
Let me show you through pictures! FYI All pictures are taken with flash except for the eye shadows and the swatches. The shadows and swatches were taken in the daylight, it's a little dark and gray here in Seattle. <br />

These are the 6 eye shadows you receive in the kit. A majority of them are different shades of purple with 1 being in the blue tones. The ones with the shimmer top coat do disappear once you dip your brush in it and use up the top layer (eye shadow 4 bottom left) and 5 (bottom center). You can really create a variety of eye shadow looks from natural to smokey dramatic. </div>

From the swatches you can tell they are pigmented and stay true to color. I did use the Urban Decay Primer Potion before swatching. The shadows are a satin to a matte finish for these colors. More warmer shades of purples with some pinks in there too. For me I would use these shadows for more a day look - simple and natural hued. </div>

Now for these shadows they are more cooler toned - lilacs to deeper purples. The blue duo shadow actually swatched to be more purple! These shades would be lovely for more of a dramatic looks - colorful smokey eyes </div>

Swatches from top to bottom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lipstick</b> - The color was a bit more purple than pink (lighting turned it more pink). Very creamy and opaque. For neutral eyes this would be great but for a smokey eye I probably would turn it down a little. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Liquid Eyeliner</b> - Ok this eyeliner is AMAZING! The color is gorgeous, something I have never seen before. Also it stayed on sooo well, I kept rubbing and rubbing and it stayed on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pencil Eyeliner</b> - I love the color, it off sets the lighter color of the liquid liner. The eyeliner applies unevenly and I had to go back and forth to create a deeper pigmented line. Even when I kept going back and forth I still didn't get the desired line I wanted. Also the liner felt waxy on my hand. </div>

The blush trio palette is beautiful! I really like the range of colors they included in this trio. You will defintely need to apply the blush with the brush that is provided because it's hard to use a regular blush brush. I even combined the colors and it looks lovely! </div>

I recently changed my hair color and I am so happy I did! I grew out my hair for my wedding and 2 days after I cut it back to my short hair. I love short hair, but I do wish at times I had long hair to curl it like those celebrities. :D Do you bored with your hair and always want change? I do! I get bored easily. Instead of changing the cut I just change the color, thanks to my good friend/stylist Thuy from 44th Street Salon. She has been my stylist now for over a year and has been a very good friend. She even did my hair for my wedding, I wouldn't want anyone else to do it but her. I'm thinking about doing some hair tutorials for short hair. Just some ways that I do my hair for the short Bob sporting ladies. :D It's hard to know what to do with your hair! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thuy gave me some magenta highlights right in the front and I wanted to do something that will really compliment the hair. At first I wanted to do all purple but then that's way too much purple going around. I decided on MAC Sable Eyeshadow has a lid color and then added some additional colors to define and darken. </div>

Ok, I just had to.. really I did! Now I feel my collection is complete - 10 Matte 10 Lacquer. If you missed out on my matte swatches/review/video click <a href="http://www.villabeautifful.com/2013/10/review-revlon-colorburst-matte-balm.html">HERE</a>. Of course my husband thought I was crazy but he should be use to it by now. The lacquer balms are so moisturizing! I just love the way they glided on my lips and didn't feel they were going to slip off. Is is just me or does a lot of the colors all look the same on me? Wish they would have made some deeper darker shades for the fall/winter season and saved the brighter ones for spring/summer. The color on the packaging can be very deceiving as you will see in the video and in the swatch pictures below. <br />
<br />

Last weekend I was cleaning out my makeup collection and I came across MAC Rose Pigment. I totally forgot about this color and I remember it use to be one of my favorite pigments. It is a beautiful pinkish golden infused pigment. I really wanted to use this color for a tutorial since I need to add some "colorful" looks for my Youtube channel.<br />
<br />
I have been getting so many requests for more videos. I give a lot of credit to the beauties who can produce and edit a couple of videos a week and at the same time be able to manage everyday life. It's like a 2nd job to blog, film, and post. I recently made a schedule for myself - every Thursday 1 YouTube tutorial and at least a couple times a week for posts. So far I've been able to do this without any problems. It's such a great feeling getting so much support from you guys, I appreciate it so much! It really makes me want to do more and more, and I am working so hard to give you guys what you want! :) So instead of video where I talk the whole time I might as well do a "getting ready with me" makeup video. At least you can see how I achieve a full look. The speed is pretty fast but you can pretty much see all the steps that I am doing. I am interested how you guys like this ...<br />

I just love the<a href="http://www.morphebrushes.com/"> Morphe Brushes </a> <span style="color: black;">35 Color Glam Palette!! Look how pigmented the colors I used to create this look. First I used NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in Electric Blue to make the lid color really pop. I just applied this on top of my eye shadow primer that I use regularly. I really like the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils because they come in a variety of colors to enhance your lid shadow. The lashes are <a href="http://www.alteregolashes.com/">Alter Ego Lashes</a> in Pixie Dusters. Of course I had to add just a tiny bit of glitter to my inner tear duct - <a href="http://www.eyekandycosmetics.com/">Eye Kandy Cosmetics</a> glitter in Confetti. I love Confetti because it's a silver holographic that can be worn with any color combination. </span><br />

I decided to make a tutorial on a question that I get asked a lot - "how do you do your eyebrows? or "what products do you use for your eyebrows?" To tell you the truth I hate doing my eye brows.. yes I hate doing them. If you have been following me from the very beginning you can tell my eye brows went through a transformation. When I first started MOTD's on Instagram I didn't really pay much attention to my brows, maybe just a light fill in but that was about it. There's just something about me and my brows. I do not have a problem doing brows on other people, but on myself is a whole different story. Since I was a teenager I have always been self conscious about my eyebrows. I was the culprit of over tweezing my brows or being complete opposite of not doing anything with my brows. Then BOOM the eyebrow Gods came to me and I was determined to have nice defined brows that I see all over Instagram. After going through a few products I found the ones that worked the best for me.<br />
<br />
Now it's time to watch the video, I make it easy I promise<br />

<br />
Just received our wedding video trailer by our videographer Nolan from <a href="http://www.solefirefilms.com/" target="_blank">Solefire Films</a>. Wanted to share it with all of you! It was such a magical day and Nolan captured it beautifully. All the details that are included in the video were all made by me. So happy how it turned out. Can't wait to see the whole video. <br />

<br />
It's been a couple months after our wedding and I miss everything about wedding planning and executing. Yes, for some it may sound a little bizarre. I guess when something so big like this takes over your life for almost a year you really don't know what to do after. Every time I watch this trailer it makes me feel so proud of all the little details that I made for our wedding. Making trips to the craft store almost every other day, antique shopping every weekend, having our condo filled with wedding stuff truly made the whole wedding experience compete. All my hard work did pay off. We did well (I did) experience some bumps in the road, but those things don't really matter anymore - it's all about the love our family and friends shared on our special day.<br />
<br />
<br />
For all future brides/brides-to-be out there here are my tips...<br />
<ul>
<li>Enjoy every moment because it will go by so fast. </li>
<li>Do things you always wanted to do for your wedding because you don't want to regret it later down the road. We weren't going to have a videographer but I am so happy we did! </li>
<li>Be organized!! Put together a binder with tabs for vendors, wedding party, etc. Always print out invoices and emails to stick into the binder in case something happens. My binder was filled at the end and I am so happy I was organized it kept me insane. </li>
<li><a href="http://www.weddingwire.com/" target="_blank">www.weddingwire.com </a>a great online website/tool to help manage your wedding guests and seating chart. No more doing it on paper it's all on your computer. Also download the app from the app store to have on your phone so you have it with you on the go. </li>
<li>For the first couple of months start getting some inspiration from wedding blogs and pinterest. Be warned that you will totally get overwhelmed, I did. After the 3rd month I picked out my colors, theme and elements that matched our venue and us a couple - once I completed this I stopped looking at all the wedding blogs/inspiration. Its gets to be too much and then you want to change what you have going. Stick to a plan all the way through or else you are going to go CRAZY!</li>
<li>If you are DIY bride (like I was) always get your supplies on sale or search the internet for cheaper prices. Coupons from Michael's and Joann's really help! Look at their weekly ads to see if there's anything you will need. Your local Craig's List is a great resource too. </li>
<li>Network around your friends/family members perhaps your sister knows a graphic designer that likes to design wedding stationary. Or your friend's cousin's fiance works at a bakery. By networking this really helps keeps costs down, and trust me the expenses pile up each and every week! </li>
<li>Hire a wedding coordinator and delegate a team to help set up and need be take down. So happy I hired a wedding coordinator just to make sure everything was organized the day of. I am very hands on and I always want things to go my way, but on your wedding day you can't be everywhere. Your wedding coordinator will be you running around while you enjoying everything. If you can't afford a wedding coordinator ask a friend of a friend who is very organized and has attention to detail. </li>
<li>Plan out your budget by listing your important things first. Pick 3 things that are important to you and then 3 other things important to you and your fiance. </li>
</ul>
I hope this helps for all you bride-to-be's out there, just a little insight of what I learned. Happy planning!<br />
<br />
P.S. I will be posting in depth details of our wedding when I get the pictures back from the photographer. villabeauTIFFulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08794404536567079583noreply@blogger.com0
