Update: I'm On The Move!!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I am moving to a new house at the end of this week. I'm really excited but unfortunately that means my blog will suffer a little. I should be back on track with updates next week. Please check back regularly though because I have lots of fun stuff coming up soon!

FOTD: Vibrant Purple Smokey Eye w/a Twist

This is a second look I created for a contest by YouTube & Beauty Blog Guru, Magicgrl111 (you can enter twice). It's a smokey eye contest w/a twist. She required that didn't use any black (other than mascara and false lashes). I decided to use purples for this look because it's said to be a good color for green/hazel eyes.. plus purple is such a pretty color! You can see my first entry, a smokey blue eye, by clicking here. I'd love to hear what you think!

Review: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Treatment Pads Maximum Strength

These pads are amazing!! They are convenient and most importantly, effective! I bought these for my fiancé because he is very active and has been breaking out a little more than usual due to the summer season. He used them for the first time at night after washing his face and by the next morning, all signs of a breakout were gone! I couldn't believe it; I have never seen a product work that fast. I need the occasional spot treatment and I decided to try these pads myself, and I got the same instant result! No signs of a breakout come morning. Anytime I start to feel like a pimple may be coming, I swipe a pad and viola! These are great too, when I've had a late night and just want to fall into bed. We know we're all guilty of falling asleep with our makeup on from time to time, but these things are so simple and easy, it's impossible to let that happen. They leave my skin really soft afterward and they smell really good too! I buy these at Target and they retail for around $5.99 for 60 pads. I highly recommend this product!!

MAKEUP by LC YouTube Channel!!

That's right! MAKEUP by LC is expanding! I've decided to start a YouTube Channel to coincide with my beauty blog! I only have one real video on there right now, which is my blue smokey eye look for a contest entry. I will be making more videos of makeup looks and I plan to eventually get a camera and start filming hauls, reviews, tutorials, etc.! I would love it if you all would visit my channel and subscribe.

FOTD: Blue Smokey Eye w/a Twist.. ;)

Hey beauties! This is a look I created for a contest by YouTube Guru & Beauty Blogger Magicgrl111. It's a smokey eye contest w/a twist. She required that you didn't use any black (other than mascara and false lashes). I loove the MAC eyeshadow Steamy and it's the first thing that came to mind when I learned about this contest. I also just got a gel liner from Coastal Scents in Indigo Blue and thought it would be good to try it out with this look. You can enter twice, so I might try another smokey eye look using purples. I'd love to hear what you think!
