Art Inspiration: Vincent Van Gogh "Starry Night"

A little known fact about me is that I love art! I can spend hours and hours just starring into great pieces of art from some of the greatest painters in history. One of my most favorite art pieces has to be "Starry Night" by Post-Impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh. Since this is a fashion blog I wanted to combine my love for fashion and art and combine it to make a "Starry Night"  inspired outfit that I hope you will enjoy.

Review: Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters

          Chances are that you have heard about these much talked about lipsticks. I know I have! So after seeing countless of Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters commercials starring the beautiful Emma Stone and seeing them praised by beauty YouTube Gurus, I decided to give these a try.

Cupcake, Cotton Candy, Sweet Tart, Peach Parfait, Tutti Frutti, Cherry Tart

About The Product:
         Color Burst Lip Butter by Revlon is a buttery balm with beautiful shiny color to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips, 94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother, and instantly hydrated. Made out of Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter this formula boosts lip moisture by 156%. Available in 20 beautiful shades you are bound to find the perfect shade for you.

The shade I got in "Creamsicle"

My Opinion:
         Because I was not sure how I was going to like this I decided to get the a more natural color instead of a bright or bold one so I picked up "Creamsicle" which is a creamy pale peach color, and I loved it! The formula really is so smooth ans easy to glide one that I can see why they are named Lip Butter, I also love that the tube has a small clear window on top so you can see what color you are getting. This has now become my favorite lipstick that I am definitely going back for some more colors sometime soon. I would recommend this to someone in a heartbeat because at $7.49 they are so affordable that you just can't go wrong.

2012 Spring Trend: Mint Green

          Get ready girls because spring is almost here! Leave your coats and sweaters at home and bring out your dresses and shorts. This also means new trends for us fashionistas to try out, and for this upcoming season prepare to see mint green. This perfect spring color has been seen from the fashion runways to out in the street. I'm so in love with this color right now that I personally can't wait to get my hands on something mint green, it is so soft, feminine and delicate but trendy at the same time.  Incorporating mint green into your current wardrobe are endless! You can use it on clothes, jewelry, shoes, handbags- the only limitation is your creativity.

Makeup Brushes Every Girl Should Have . . .

          On one of my very first blog posts I posted a article about  Makeup Essentials Every Girl Should Have, So it seems appropriate to write about makeup brushes we need to apply our makeup. Why do we need makeup brushes you ask? Why can't we just use the makeup applicators that come with our makeup? Well let me tell you why, makeup brushes make applying your makeup hygienic, more accurate, precise and prettier look. They are so many makeup brushes out there that are used for different purposes that you can even end up with at least 30 different brushes. If that is a bit overwhelming for you or are just starting to use makeup and don't know what brushes you need to start your collection keep on reading as I break it down for you. . .

          1. Stippling Brush: The reason I chose a stippling brush instead of a foundation brush is because I believe that using a stippling brush will give you a more airbrush look than a foundation brush would give you. Also this can be used to highlight and to add translucent powder.
         
          2. Powder Brush:  If you use powder on your face using a big fluffy powder brush it will distribute it much more evenly than a sponge.  
        
          3. Blush Brush: Ditch the Barbie applicator that comes along with your blush and swap it with a blush brush that will make your cheeks look way better than that dingy brush ever could.
        
          4. Eyeshadow Brush: Using a eyeshadow brush to put on your eyeshadow really does make a difference on how your finished eye look will be.
         
          5. Blending Brush: When you use more than one eyeshadow color on your eye it is important to blend in the harsh lines.

          6. Crease Brush: Add definition to your eyes by swiping a darker color than the color you are using on your lid to the crease of your eye.

          7. Flat Angled Brush: This is a great multipurpose brush that you can use to fill in your eyebrows with, use to put on creme eyeliner, or to add eyeshadow to the bottom of your lash line.

          8. Lip Brush: Define your lip shape or build up the lip color on your lips by using a lip brush.

      Tips:

• Test out the brushes against your face, if they don't feel soft against your skin they are no good.
• Wash your makeup brushes at least once a week to prevent bacteria from spreading.
• Use a spot cleaner between colors on your eyeshadow brush to stop colors from blending into one color you don't want.

      Best Inexpensive Makeup Brush Brands:
          Makeup Brushes can get very expensive and although I believe it would be a good investment to splurge on great makeup brushes (M.A.C , Sigma, Bobbi Brown) when you are in a budget a splurge like that can be unreasonable. But thankfully there are great inexpensive makeup brush brands that wont break the bank.

• E.L.F 
• Sonia Kashuk
• Coastal Scents
• Eco Tools
• NYX

          What is your favorite makeup brush brand? Did you splurge on your makeup brushes or decided to save until you are able to can afford high brand? My main brushes are from the E.L.F Studio Line and a Sigma blending brush. Thank for reading and being patience with me, I love you guys! You mean the world to me.
