Disney Series: Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

"The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam"

I am excited and also very hesitant to show you my Princess Aurora inspired look. Aurora is one of my favorite princesses and Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorite Disney films, but I found this look to be super difficult! I tried to do this look three times and I disliked the result each time. This was the one I liked the most, but I am not extremely happy with it. I hope you all like it better than me ^_^

Valentine's Day Tutorial: Kickass Pinks

Hiii dark siders ♥

It is almost that time of the year again. That day that a lot of people dread: Valentine's Day! It's time to get out your pink eyeshadows, blushes, and lipsticks! For those of you who like bolder looks for February 14th, here is a flirty, kickass pink and purple look you can rock! Personally, I will be going out to bars for the 14th, and this is something I would totally wear for that. It's fun and colorful, but still kind of sweet and girly.
