Today is the day! Thank you to all who participated in my latest giveaway. Most of all, thank you to all of you who take the time to watch my videos, read my blog, and just for supporting what I do in general!
I truly started YouTube to share my love of makeup and to have sort of my own little super girly outlet to talk about shopping, makeup, and beauty. Over the past 3 years, my love of doing this and my reasons for doing it have stayed the same. I've just picked up a lot of new friends along the way.
For those reasons, doing giveaways like this is so fun for me. I love being able to give back to you all. In the beginning, it was little giveaways here and there, but since this channel has grown so much, I'm so thankful that Sigma provided prizes to support a giveaway of this size. I promise, there will be many more fun and different giveaways in the future! :)
Thanks for all the interaction, the support, and for making this so much fun. I hope we can continue to enjoy this little online beauty world together for a very long time!
xoxo,
Tiffany

FIRST PEEK! NEW Sigma Eye Shadow Palettes
I'm so excited to give my readers a first peek at the three new palettes from Sigma.I have to start by saying that I'm very picky about eye shadows. But you all probably already knew that...
The packaging, color selections, and formulas are great. They're also priced incredibly well. Only $35 for 8 shades and a dual-sided brush. Not your typical brush that comes inside a palette that you immediately throw out because they're cheaply made, but one that is actually the same quality as the ones you'd buy separately.
**These will be available on June 24th at SigmaBeauty.com**
My readers get an even better deal by clicking here and using my Sigma discount code, "TIFFANY2011" to save an extra 10% off anything on the site until June 30th :)
I'm also giving away 13- $100 gift cards to SigmaBeauty.com! All the details are in my giveaway video :)
If you win my giveaway that is currently running, you could use your gift card to get all 3 palettes if you wanted! Pretty awesome.

Flare Palette
I'm really impressed with the formulas of these. I've been wearing them a lot over the past few weeks and I've been so excited about sharing them with you all. I'm definitely planning on doing tutorials with these in the future so be on the look out for those!
Here is a closer look at the brush that comes with the Bare palette. The brushes that come with each type of palette are totally different! I love that.
MAC Minis! "Sized to Go" Collection
Travel-sized items make me extremely happy...
I often find myself wandering down the cute little travel-sized products aisle of whatever store I happen to be frequenting. Not always right before a trip, but just because travel-sized anything looks so darn cute.
Combine my excitement of travel-sized items with one of my favorite cosmetics brand and you have something pretty special...
...who thought a 1 oz. Fix+ could be so cute?
(l-r) Cleanse-Off Oil Tranquil, Green Gel Cleanser, Fix+, Strobe Cream, Pro Eye Makeup Remover
and mini MAC Wipes? Genius.
My obsessions from this line? Fix+, Cleanse Off Oil/Tranquil, and the Demi-Wipes.
These will FOR SURE be traveling with me to LA at the end of the month. ...and looking cute on my counter and making me smile with their precious mini size until then.
Also available from the line- Cleanse Off Oil, Oil Control Lotion, and Studio Moisture Cream
These are a part of the permanent line also. Which is awesome. No need to hoard, guys.

Summer Self-Tanning and Bronzing How-to and Fav Products
Yep...it's that time of year again!
I absolutely LOVE this time of year because of the warmer weather. With warmer weather comes smaller outfits which equal more skin... Which usually leads to a self-tanning routine that is an absolute hassle.
I don't like to have more of a tan in the summer because it's "trendy" or because I feel I have to. I personally like a bit of a glow because it's what I personally prefer and feel more comfortable with. Some people prefer just the opposite, and that's perfectly fine!
But if you are like me and love a bit of a natural glow, but don't have a the time or patience to mess with complicated and messy self-tanning products, check out my video below for the awesome new products I've discovered that do the trick!
Happy Summer!

Summer Yellow Makeup Tutorial *Feature Flattering*
Let's be honest. Yellow is a tricky eye shadow color.It's super easy to slap on bright yellow eye shadow and call it a day, but whenever I do makeup, I like it to bring out my features-- Make my eye lashes look thicker, make my eyes look brighter, make me look like I actually put some thought into this super bright color on my lids.
Something tells me you guys like that too. :)
Here is how I wear yellow and make it flattering--
Products used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil in Milk -matte white cream eye shadow
MAC eye shadows:
Gesso -matte white
Chrome Yellow -matte bright primary yellow
Crest the Wave -lighter frosted yellow (limited edition shade- If you don't have something similar, mix the white with the other yellow you use to make a brighter shade)
Print -satin dark gray
MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating -white liner for waterline
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack -jet black gel liner
Covergirl Lashblast mascara
Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Dollface -bright pink
MAC Sheen Supreme lipstick in Behave Yourself
YSL Golden Gloss in #10
Perfect Eyebrows from a Kit- Anastasia Beauty Express
I have a bit of a fascination with eyebrows...
Weird that I often neglect my own. But because I'm always a sucker for kits and palettes of any kind (especially ones with super cool stencils included), I figured I'd give this one a whirl.
It's got everything you need for perfect brows- five stencils (there's one for every brow shape, I promise), two shades of shadow to fill brows, wax (to keep brows in place and help powder adhere), and two highlight shades. Oh, and a little cheapo angled brow brush. It's really not the best brush in the world to fill brows (I use mine for the wax only), but you can get a great brow brush from Sigmabeauty.com. My favorite, and the one I feature in the video, is the E65.
The only thing it's missing...tweezers. Not that I would expect great ones to be included in a kit like this, but I definitely have started keeping mine inside of it as tweezing is a step to include at least once a week or so in the whole process.
While I've always been skeptical about the whole "stenciled brow" concept, it's actually quite amazing when you try it out. It turned me into a brow stencil believer. ...and actually shocked me that I didn't end up looking like this:
*I had the most epic awful brow picture for this post. But didn't have the heart to actually post it because if someone recognized their brows on here I would die. Use your imagination. Or just Google "chola brows" for some entertainment.
Check out my video below for a step-by-step tutorial using this kit and a review of this product (I use the Blonde shade).
The Anastasia Beauty Express kit can be purchased at Ulta, Sephora, and anywhere Anastasia Beverly Hills products are sold.
MAC Sheen Supreme and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks
I'm a sucker for products that multitask. A lipstick with the shine of a gloss that actually stays in place and isn't goopy or sticky? Sold.
I'm absolutely loving these new lipstick formulas from MAC and Chanel. While the concepts are similar, there are definite differences in the two. You can check out my video below where I discuss these differences and review both of these products.
Here are the shades I have-
MAC Sheen Supreme:
left-right: Supremely Confident, Gotta Dash!
l-r: Behave Yourself, Bare Again
(top-bottom: Behave Yourself, Bare Again)
left-right: Evasion, Chance, Boy

My Favorite (Most-Worn) Jewelry!
I was in the mood to do something a little different...
Since I get so many questions about what jewelry I wear and like, I figured I'd just throw all that info into one video.
