I have been waiting to do this for a very long time! I can't even tell you how long ago it was that I bought this palette. But what matters is that I'm getting around to it. I have a TON of lipsticks! I mean a lot of them and I rarely get to wear most of them. And the reason is because I forget what I have to be honest. So I'll usually stick to the ones I know by heart!

I wanted to do something a little more fun! So I went with different shades of green for my eyes. I feel like it's so easy to get in the habit of only using browns and neutral colors. But I'm a makeup artist for God's sake, I hate looking "natural" all the time. Makeup allows me to have fun and that's always the goal when I'm doing my makeup.

Instead of doing an actual lipstick, today I decided to only wear my newest addition to my lip pencils, MAC's Nightingale, which came out with the Pencilled In collection (however this is a permanent color). I'm really loving this pencil. It would go perfect with Rebel if you own that color.

I recently shared with you my first experience with Jamberry nail wraps, on my Valentine's Day nail post here. But before my very first Jamberry purchase I was scoping the web for some more information on the product and I ran across Jen's blog Simple Nails and Beauty, where she runs her independent Jamberry business. She offered two trial wraps as accent nails to compare on the durability against regular nail polish.

This is one of the wraps and it's super cute! I pared it with a peachy nail polish from MAC, and added some top coat to try and make it last longer. It's a little bit springy and it puts me in a good mood!
Another point I want to make is that while I was wearing my Jamberry wraps my nails did not break or flake (my nails are horrible), but as soon as I took the wraps off they went back to their normal, breakable selves. So the wraps were keeping them together and helping them get longer which is a huge plus for me.

BOLD WINGED LINER

In my opinion you really can't go wrong with winged eye liner. You can wear with shadows or on it's own. Paring winged liner with a bold lip can sure make a statement. This season the winged liner is the star of the show. Let it be the focus point of your whole makeup look, and wear it with more natural lips.



THE NO MAKEUP LOOK

This has to be one of my favorite looks and to be quite honest my go to! Don't we all want to look fabulous without looking like we put too much effort into it?! This season is all about keeping it simple while looking polished. You can see my version of this trend here.



BOLD LASHES 

Bold lashes are IN!!! And I'm loving it. It's all about the lashes this season. And if you noticed they may even have that clumpy look so many people dread (but that I secretly love). This can be created with just mascara or add lashes to get some fullness.
