I think everyone can benefit from using an oil and or serum on their face especially during the winter. I have combination skin, but in the winter months my dry skin is amplified. These 2 products have been my go to already I love trying out new oils so please let me know your favorites.

Along with the harsh winter making my skin dry, I have dry cracked lips. It is not an attractive look, so I try to always be prepared with chapstick. However, a lot of the stuff you use is just a lot of fragrance and other ingredients that actually will dry your lips out. Hence keeps you buying more, so I love this bite beauty lip mask, and scrub. I can use this scrub which is gentle and refreshing on my lips. Then I can put the lip mask on and go to bed, knowing I will awake to smoochable lips heh.

I picked the Tarte Tartelette palette because it's a beautiful palette (swatches will be up this week on the blog). It has amazing color payoff, you can get the perfect day to night look with just this palette. Very subtle and not over the top, which is a great every day palette. It has just quickly became a go to palette. I included the MAC pigment set from the Holidays because I just forgot how much I love MAC pigments until getting these sets at Christmas time. I don't know if you can still buy the sets, but I suggest you just go buy all the sparkly MAC pigments you can find heh. Glitter pigments make the world go round!

The last two staples I chose are the Pixi polish in Guilded Garnet, because who doesn't love a dark nail for the winter. I do love it also because it's a long lasting polish and has a beautiful finish as well. I adore all Pixi polishes, so find a shade you like and that makes these gloomy days a little better.The Monoi Tiki Tahiti Oil in Vanilla was a Spring 2014 favorite of mine. However, I am using it more and more during this winter. It smells amazing it is just coconut oil with some fragrance and that's it. Be prepared to not only smell amazing, but it is also an oil so it's moisturizing. It turns to an oil over 69° if it's cold where you store it, sit it somewhere warm so you can use it hehe.

Some products were PR Samples sent for review consideration.

I did a bit more dramatic winged liner, and smoked it out a lot more than the movie. I was going to add false lashes but I decided to make it an easier Halloween tutorial and skip the false lashes. You can also not be a total lazy bum and paint your nails red.

Let's pretend that I am 24 like Uma when she filmed this movie :)

This is a super easy look, you don't need this palette but this is what I used!
(I used my normal foundation and concealer routine and light contouring)

Steps to becoming Mia Wallace:

1.Take a white or off white color all over entire lid and to the brow bone

2.Take a matte light brown in the crease

3.Take a dark brown over the light brown in the outer V

4.Take a black shadow and smoke out your eye and use it as a liner make a dramatic wing

5.Use any black liner,and thick black mascara to top it off

6. Find a hot red lipstick and apply a lot of it

7. Put on your black wig and a sassy attitude

8.Make sure that the wig you buy hasn't been switched out for a completely different wig so you don't end up looking like a 5 year old instead of a hardcore Mia Wallace :)
9.Put on a white button up shirt and some black pencil pants
10.Or be like me and wear your favorite pulp fiction t shirt and black pants

My wig package had a picture of a shoulder length,thin bangs exact replicate of Mia's hair. However, when I put it on I realized someone had switched it with a short bob with thick bangs. I went with it, and it still looks close enough. I unfortunately think I paid a higher price for a cheap wig.

These 2 are what made the entire look. My

Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Theodora (but they have an entire Pulp Fiction line so you can buy any of those if you are wanting an exact color)My Pulp Fiction Palette that is just $16 at Ulta,Sephora and UD.com !

I did a YouTube video showing you great detail about the palette, shameless promotion for my channel!
