Simple Brow Tutorial




It's refreshing to start writing on the blog again. I was in a bit of a rut so I haven't been posting as often as I'd like to, but I'm back with a super simple tutorial on my favorite feature to make up, BROWS! I use only one product for the whole routine so you don't have to shell out on a kit or brow gel. This is what I do everyday, so if you want a more dramatic look you can add darker shades, gel, or concealer to beef it up!


Here she is, my HG brow product, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Whiz pencil in Brunette. It's the perfect color for me right now and it has a grooming brush on the other end that's really convenient and better than my stand alone brow spoolies. The formula is hard enough so that you don't apply too much but smooth enough to easily brush over if you do. You can always use a cheaper alternative but make sure that you have a spoolie handy, it's just as important of a tool as your pencil!

Bold Lip Love

Feeling bold? These are five of my favorite bold lippies that can be worn day, night, or whenever you need a little umph! There's a good mix of drugstore and mid-end products as well as different colors. Enjoy! Excuse the hair, it was 90℉!!

nik's Picks for July


MUAC 40% Lactic Acid Kit | Brighter skin and fading dark spots. 'nuff said.
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper | I've already sung my praises in this post but I'll say it again, holy grail!
OPI nail polish in Cajun Shrimp | The perfect bright summer red, and a breeze to apply
Dior Creme de Rose Lip Balm | I'm running low and feel like I've lost a limb

#GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso | One of the most inspiring reads this year, the CEO of Nasty Gal wrote this half business bible half memoir to motivate girls to kick ass in any career path they choose. It's badass and motivating, and if you're like me and feeling a little uninspired lately, reading #GIRLBOSS will give you a nice smack to get your booty going and on its way to success.

About Face: Friday Night Out


It's one of my best friends' birthday today!! That means we're hitting up West Hollywood and dancing are asses off! I love a strong contour for nights out and MAC's Club, a turquoise to brown duo-chrome eye shadow, seemed very appropriate. I paired it with a baby pink lip combo of a MAC Cremesheen lipstick in Pure Zen and NYX lip gloss in Beige (not really beige).
