Well everyone, I have a lot more time to focus on my blog. In fact, I also have really grown a lot makeup-wise since I started my blog. Here I am going to start just posting things that I do and what I like and any tricks and tips I have. I will be posting my December 2010 favorites tonight - I don't want to do a youtube channel (although I am addicted to watching videos from my favorite beauty vloggers). This will allow me to do a lot of stuff that I would do if I had a channel. I am not big on making tutorials -- I don't think I have gotten to the level where I would create looks that others would want to copy. However, I do take a lot of inspiration from others and from pictures I come across online and in magazines. Currently I am trying to master this look from Prince William's and Kate Middleton's Official Engagement Pictures (Prince William with Kate Middleton | Celebrity-gossip.net).
Any ideas on how to perfect it? I see its pretty heavy in eyeliner and soft cheeks and lips -- but any ideas what eyeshadow colors to use?

Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette Review
Welcome to my first blog - and it is on my latest purchase, the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette.
I have purchased this product after seeing a bunch of reviews of it from some of my favorite YouTube Makeup Gurus. My favorite part of applying make-up is doing my eye shadow everyday.
Back to the palette - it has 88 INCREDIBLY pigmented colors. There are 42 matte shades and then 46 shimmer/pearly shades. They have some really great plum/purple colors as well as some really rich burgandy and red shades. I do have to admit that I have to really think about what I'm going to do since there are so many shades. Recently, I have been using a MAC paintpot in Painterly as my base (LOVE IT) and then use one of the light colored shades (whites, buttercream, silver) and then I will use a darker, more dramatic shade to go in to the crease and then finally to warm it up I will use a warmer shade (like a burgandy) to really warm up the eye by applying it with a very fluffy crease brush to the outer border of the darker shade I applied in my crease. Sometimes, I will take the matte shades (they have a black similar to MAC Carbon) and use it as an eyeliner.
This is a great gift idea for your budding makeup artist or someone who just might need to branch out from their normal eye looks.
You can purchase the product for $24.95 at www.coastalscents.com.
