5 Fall/Winter 2013 Beauty Trend Musts

1. Glitter eyes -  Proceed with caution. The glittery eye may look striking, but do your homework on the safest glitter to use on your eyes. Use cosmetic glitter, not the stuff you get a the craft stores!

2. Black Nails. Matte? Even better. Check out Katy's awesome nails here.

3. Dark Lips -  The classic red lip just got a little smutty. Loving this oxblood lip trend with a minimalistic clean face.

4. Regal Up -  Who says you can't wear crowns everyday? Okay, seriously though, this simple royal up-do will instantly polish up your look and glide you seamlessly from office to date night. Center part, tease, low bun and done. C'est chic.

5. Mod Cut Crease -  Live a little. Try this new spin on the cut crease by leaving the rest of your face "bare." Heads up,  you might get asked if it was on purpose. You, my dear, are ahead of the game. Embrace it.

Mila Kunis Inspired Metallic Smoky Eye // Wet n Wild Color Icon Comfort Zone Palette

In honor of my new found #newness, I decided to film a Get Ready With Me // Flash Tutorial video of a Mila Kunis inspired metallic smoky eye I wore last night. I've never filmed myself doing my makeup before and I can tell you it was definitely quite the juggling experience. It's funny how even my makeup had become ritualistic.

I decided to step out of my own comfort zone with my new Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Comfort Zone 738 palette that I picked up on Monday night: super spur of the moment purchase but around the $5 mark and the shadows are pretty pigmented for the price. It's an all around winner. The only negative about this palette is that the packaging was so difficult to pry open, I actually thought I was going to break the plastic cover and/or a nail. The shadows stayed on all night and fall out was minimal so I'm fine with the packaging being slightly faulty. What do you expect for five bucks?
