10 Things That Make Me Terribly Happy

Hello again!
I did one of these on my last blog, and I love my list (which is actually like 50 things), so I'm going to post my first happy list to my new blog! Some of the things might be the same from the first list, because I can't remember the ones I chose to post from my long list...JUST forewarning you if you followed the previous blog. Also, I got this idea from LoveTaza.com, she's fabulous and beautiful!

SO without further or do...
 
10 THINGS THAT MAKE ME TERRIBLY HAPPY:
 
 
1. Lipstick
2. When it rains while it's sunny
3. Sunflowers; is it just me or do they always seems to be smiling at you?
4. Road trips
5. Getting packages in the mail
6. The unexpected compliment
7. Pineapples
8. Doing my eye makeup with freshly waxed eyebrows; they're, then, a PERF blank canvas.
9. The smell of honeysuckles
10. Freshly shaved legs and clean sheets... (<that deserved its own pause)
 
I had a million thoughts rushing through my head that I wanted to share through a post, but I decided that I should save the deeper thoughts for a rainy day (like, literally if it's raining outside, I feel like I can stay in and focus on constructing those thoughts). But today, it's sunny so I was feeling more cheer. This is the result, hope you enjoyed!
 
Love, Kris

Blue Brown Halo Eye

Hello again! I'm back with another makeup look... on my hand.  Not sure why I find so much joy in this, but I'm rolling with it.  This look was inspired by a gorgeous loose pigment by MAC in the shade 'Blue Brown.' I remember seeing pictures of it on Pinterest years ago and I've been wanting to get my hands on it ever since. And every time I'd visit a MAC store/counter they wouldn't have it. So instead, I'll work with what I've got. I used the Jaclyn Hill Palette by Morphe, again, for this look, so here is the card with shade names as a reference: Lid: Mocha, Chip, Central Park, Pool Party Crease (transition shade): Pooter I forgot to do a brow bone highlight and the eyebrow is... wonky to say the least. It's something lol that's for sure... I couldn't be bothered about fixing it; the eyeshadow is what we're all here for, right? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this look; I love it and am pla

Creating Eye Makeup Looks on my Hand (using the Jaclyn Hill Palette)

Image
I've seen a couple of these floating around on the internet, and I've tried recreating them one or two times in the past. I was never really satisfied with the end results until now. And I'll probably continue practicing new looks like this, because it's really fun! This is a great way to practice bold, more creative looks without committing to wearing it on your own eyes for the whole day. Plus, this adds a new twist to makeup as a creative outlet. The base I always start with is a thin layer of either foundation, concealer, or primer. (Pretty much any base that the shadows can stick to and will make the colors pop more.) Then, I begin by drawing the eyeliner and lashes. This helps map out the size and shape of the closed eye. I alternate between three different liquid liners (I know, SO extra) in order to get the precision I want. I use NYX Matte Liquid Liner, Sephora felt-tip liner, and Rimmel Glam-Eyes. The Jaclyn Hill Palette does not have th

The Jaclyn Hill Palette by Morphe

Image
I have never miss an upload on YouTube from Jaclyn Hill. How amazing it has been to see her grow as an artist and become so successful over the past few years! I ordered the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette as soon as it launched on the Morphe website and it is the best makeup purchase I have ever made. With that being said, I decided to do a little review of the product. I didn't include swatches of every color, because you can find swatches of this palette on many different skin tones (this thing is all over the internet, I promise). I took these photos in natural lighting to try and capture the shadows' truest colors. There is not much to say except that the quality of these shadows is like nothing I've ever owned. They're EXQUISITE.  The shimmers are the creamiest you'll ever touch. You can drag the pigment for miles, I swear! The mattes are extremely blendable which is ideal.  Now, I'll talk about some shortcomings of this palette sta
