Pardon the craziness guys! I'm slowly trying to redesign my blog. And by slowly I mean it's taking me several hours a night to try and figure out the correct coding (HTML) for one thing....and then it doesn't work! Argh! SO FRUSTRATING! Things will *hopefully* be up and running in the next couple weeks! Thanks for understanding!!

Get Ready With Me: Date Night!


I'm a little late for this post, seeing that I posted the video two weeks ago (yikes!). But I did get a couple requests to list the products used in my video, so here we go!

This particular look is a date night look (in case you couldn't tell by the title....). Not something I would wear on a first date (I'm a big believer in keeping your makeup natural and just playing up a couple key features), but something fun to wear out to dinner or a night out with some friends. For this particular evening, we were going out in Atlanta for burgers (Yeah! Burger in West Midtown. SO yummy!), but it's the exact same look I did for a night out at a club in Milwaukee with some friends back in November. So, pretty versatile if you ask me!

If you would like to know what was used in this tutorial, keep on reading. If you're interested in seeing how I put this look together, check out the video at the end of this post.
