Jennifer Lopez: American Idol Vampy Look

So this look has also been way overdue.. but American Idol finished up last week and in a surprising turn of events Nick Fradiani beat out both Jax and Clark, which the final two were Clark and Nick and both of their singles were pretty awesome and radio friendly. This look was an older look Jennifer Lopez did on the show and it was a pretty daring monochromatic look that featured cranberry shadow and lips. I have tried to achieve this look multiple times and I think I finally got it down.




Here's the look:

This look was used with all of the colors in the Rebound collection. I loved the springy look of these shadows and one of my favorites that stood out to me was Too Soon, which is this gorgeous peach color that has a pink iridescence to it that is just lovely.

Colour Pop:Mermaid Kiss

I am a huge fan of Colour Pop Cosmetics and when I got notification that some of their shadows were going to be disappearing from the website I just had to get them... so I was playing around with the colors and I decided to add this really nice yellow liner from Stila into the mix called Canary, and man that is a bright yellow! Mermaid Kiss was a Neon Yellow/Green/Teal blue mixed shadow and I should have taken a picture to show you guys but it's been already smeared around but it truly is a wonderful color! Two others from the discontinued line is Kimono, which is a bright blue shimmer color and Sour, which is a lime green color. I also had gotten Fantasy a beautiful Purple color which was not included in the tutorial, but hopefully soon I will be able to share my swatches from my whole Colour Pop Collection so far.

Reese Witherspoon: Hot Pursuit Premiere Makeup

Reese is one of my absolute favorite actresses, she has been in some of my favorite movies of all time (Legally Blonde, Cruel Intentions, Sweet Home Alabama to name a few...) Her new movie Hot Pursuit looks pretty good but I just loved how darling Reese looked at the premiere with a Hot Pink lip, another great look for Spring.

Scarlett Johansson: Avenger's Age Of Ultron Australia Premiere

Have you guys seen Avenger's 2 yet? My boyfriend and I went on Friday and we saw it in IMAX/3D and it was pretty awesome!! I just love seeing the gang back together, I love how well that cast gets along. I wanted to do something cool in honor of Avenger's and I saw this little number. What really attracted me was that bright pop of gold in the inner corner contrasted with such a dark smokey look and a bright reddish pink lip to match her dress.  I think I may also do her look from the American Premiere in the next couple posts.

Fragrance Inspired: Back to Back Spotlights

Last weekend we had two beauty spotlights Elizabeth Arden and J Luxe by Jennifer Lopez. The first look was inspired by Elizabeth Arden Cherry Blossom and I wanted to do a mint eye liner so I used my Stila liner in Mint Julep and a bright pink lip, Lorac Girl Next Door.

J Luxe I was inspired by the beautiful gold and black tiger striped packaging so I did an animalistic cat eye with my Maybelline Master Precise Liner and Urban Decay Vice Ltd Edition palette in Blitz  and then I also used NYX Illuminating Blush/Highlight in Wanderlust and on my lips Cover Girl Colorlicious Lava Lip Gloss in Lava Glow

Christina Aguilera: The Voice Vintage Makeup

We're getting down almost to the finals on The Voice, I'm sad all of my shows are coming to an end.. This look was from a few weeks back but I loved the vintage feel of this look, I believe her stylist was going for a Rockabilly look and her makeup artist and hairstylist followed suit, which was perfect because I had just bought a Rimmel Show Off Matte Lip Velvet that worked perfect with the look and I got a $1 off coupon!!

Jennifer Lopez: American Idol Dramatic Cat Eye

A few weeks back on Idol, Jennifer had a really nice brown toned cat eye so I wanted to re-create that like I always do, with any of her looks really, and a trick I use to get really nice clean lines is scotch tape. Well I couldn't find any tape so the next best thing.. a post it note! So if you want to do a look like this and you have no tape, never fear you can do the same thing with a post-it. American Idol is almost over and my predictions for the final 3 are: Jax, Rayvon and Clark (which I want Clark to win.. but more than likely it's Jax)

Frangrance Inspired: Jessica Simpson Fancy Girl

This may be an unpopular opinion but I love Jessica Simpson. Even back in the day when she just came out with her single "I Wanna Love You Forever" I was all about her. I have actually seen her three times in concert,  the first time was when she opened up for Ricky Martin, second was at Kringle Jingle and the last time was when she headlining her own show with Ryan Cabrera. I really think she needs to start recording music again because coming from someone who has all of her CDs she is a very talented lady. Sorry for my fan girling, it happens... but this makeup look was inspired by her newest fragrance Fancy Girl. I already have Fancy and I love that fragrance!! It almost smells like a warm creme brulee. Fancy Girl is a little more on the fruity side with notes of Raspberry and Nectarine and the bottle is a beautiful white with gold sparkles encrusted at the bottom. So I drew my inspiration from the Fragrance bottle.
