So I recently turned 24 on January 7^th. I may have been snowed in thanks to the snowstorm that came through NC but that didn’t stop me from sitting around with dramatic eye makeup as I sat and watched movies and read comic books.

So I bring you two makeup looks: one simple and one dramatic. I mainly used the same products for both looks and just tweaked minor details to create a bolder, more in-your face look. I've been really into red shadow (more than I usually am), and I've been obsessed with playing around with my Kylie Burgundy Pallet since I got it for Christmas. The matte shades are fantastic, but the shimmers need a little extra work to show up. They're still really pretty once you build up the pigmentation.

I recently had my 23^rd birthday on January 7^th!

Not much has changed except that I can no longer relate to the song 22 by Taylor Swift (I know, I’m sad too). I spent my birthday doing what I do best, which is drink wine while I shop online. However, I did go out to lunch with a friend of mine so I did get a chance to change out of my fabulous pj's and put on something more birthday appropriate. Fun fact: I share my birthday with Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye from The Avengers).
