Watermelon Crush




I know Summer is right around the corner, so i did a look inspired by Summer memories. Everyone remembers eating Watermelon outside with the family on a hot Summer evening. So here is a look that reminded me of that.
The colors dont show up as intense in my photo because i dont know how to use the settings on my camera yet. I have a Kodak EASYSHARE Z1012 IS Digital Camera, so if anyone knows how to do that please email me at jennysblog@yahoo.com and let me know.
Also, here is a link showing the Camera i have http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Kodak%20EASYSHARE%20Z1012%20IS%20Digital%20Camera:1995451042
Thanks, and Enjoy!

Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask Review

Ok, so I've been looking for a great hair mask for months with no luck. I was at Wal-Mart a while back and saw this product and decided to try it. Let me just say....this stuff is Amazing! Once a week, after you wash your hair, you apply the product and leave it in for about 5 minutes and then rinse it out. On the tub of product it says "Dramatically quenches parched hair leaving hair supple and restored while shielding it from damage"
I've been using this for about 5 weeks now and my hair feels so soft and smooth, the frizz is gone, and my hair is so moisturized. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has dried, damaged hair and is looking for an easy way to restore moisture to their hair.

Green, Brown and Gold Look

Hey guys! Today i have a Green look for you with Brown and a bit of Gold. Enjoy!


For Base i used Two Faced Shadow Insurance

For the shadows, all the colors i used came from my 120 Palette. They do not have names so i have pics for you. If you want to do this look just find similar colors.

On the lid and lower lash line i used a Bright Matte green-
Then on the inner corner, around the tear duct area, and the inner 1/3 of the lower lash line i used a lighter green
I then added this Brown to the crease, above the crease a bit, and the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line blending into the green
Next, using a crease brush, i added this shimmery gold into the crease...dont go above the crease like you did with the Brown, just focus it mainly in the crease. Blend with a blending brush.
Also add it to the outer corner of the lower lash line between the green and brown and blend that all together

To the brow bone as a higlhight i used this off white color which has a very light green tint to it. I also added a small amount with a pencil brush around the inner corner where your tear duct is, blending around into the green.

Next i drew a very thin Black line across my upper lash line with Stilla Smudge pot using an eyeliner brush. I added my favorite E.L.F Natural Lashes, relined with my eyeliner, and added my favorite Black Mascara. Hope you enjoy this look. If you have requests or questions email me at jennysblog@yahoo.com

Spring Colors!!

Hey guys, since Spring is here i wanted to do a playful Spring look for you.












All items used are by MAC unless otherwise stated.

Add a base, i used Painterly paint pot.
Then add a white frosty color the the inner corner of your eye, swooping around the tear duct area and down under the inner 1/3 of your lower lash line. I used Vanilla pigment.
Add a light Baby Blue color to the outer 2/3 of your lid and the outer 2/3 of your lower lash line blending into the white. I used Moon's Reflection.
Then add purple, with a crease brush to the crease, blending up slightly and forming a "V" in the outer corner.
around the outer corner of your lid. I used Violet pigment.
Add a highlight color to your brow bone blending into the purple to get rid of any harsh lines, i used Vanilla pigment again.
Apply black liner to your upper lash line (very thin line) I used a Stilla Smudge Pot in Black.
Then add a purple liner to your lower water line, i used a Sephora Jumbo pencil in Purple.
Curl your lashes and add false lashes if you want. I used E.L.F lashes in Natural.
Reline your top lash line with your black liner and add black mascara. I used my favorite, Loreal Telescopic.
Hope you guys enjoy this look! If you have any questions or requests email me at jennysblog@yahoo.com
