Britney Spears "Scream and Shout" Music Video Look

This look was inspired by Britney Spears and Will.I.Am's music video for Scream and Shout. Britney's look was very futuristic alien and I just loved it! Instead of putting the crease color in the outer area, Brit put the focus more on the inner corner.

LIPS

• I wanted to create the appearance of a nuede lip so I cover my lips with a little concealer first and then I used Urban Decay Super Saturated Lip Color in Naked

Dragon Scales..

 In this look the star was definitely Geek Chic's Baby Dragon, which if you have never heard of this line, you should get familiar.. Geek Chic is a great mineral makeup line that is gluten free, Vegan and irritant free.. they also have great names for all of their shadows and great lipsticks that I can't wait to try in the future... I bought a few packs of samples that I plan on swatching to show you how pretty these colors are! Baby Dragon was inspired by My Little Pony's Spike the Dragon and this glitter is so pretty!! It's like a silver/pink/green sparkles...  You can find this and more lovely products here: GeekChicCosmetics.com  :)

Have You Tried a Glam Bag Yet?

2013 is almost upon us and I have yet to introduce Glam Bags to my followers. IPSY or formerly known as My Glam have created a service where for only $10 a month you can subscribe to getting a great bag and even greater products!! I saw them on Facebook the first time through a mutual friend and I thought what a great idea to try products that you may have never heard of or that were too expensive for your beauty budget, so I began my subscription last May and I have loved it ever since!!

This is going to be a long post of each bag from this year that I have recieved and my review of each product inside the bags and their original prices to show just how much money you can save by joining!

Marbella Permanent Eye Liner Pen in Black  $20
This pen was so awesome!! I love the markers because you have great control with them and they last a long time with no fading or cracking when you wear them.. and I actually just discovered (and this is the best part) you can flip the felt tip part over and use the other side when the first tip runs out!!!! I am so psyched, because I was so sad when this felt tip pen ran out..

NYX  Round Lip Stick in Orange Soda $4
Before Myglam bags I was an avid NYX user and so I already had this color.. it's very creamy and very opaque when you apply it on and it makes your lips real nude.
