Athena was the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. I took inspiration from the wisdom part, and did a look that is super simple but beautiful on anyone, that takes very little time for those who may have to get up early for a demanding job, school, etc :)

This is a little late because Youtube was doing maintenance when I needed to upload. Boo! Anyways, this is a little more fun & different than the usual WW, but you can always take away the fun elements if its not for you :)

Side note, but I LOVE how these contacts look on me! They're so fun, I never thought I'd like brown contacts :)

Hi Guys! This week's Wearable Wednesday is going to be the Greek Goddess Artemis. She is considered the Goddess of the Moon as well as the forest, so those aspects are where I pulled inspiration for this look!

So Greek Mythology won for Wearable Wednesday! wooo!
To start off this theme, I went with Aphrodite. She is the goddess of love, lust, passion, and seduction. I show two different lip choices for this look, depending if you want the lust/seduction element, or the love/beauty one :)

This Wearable Wednesday was inspired by a face chart from (i believe) the MAC To The Beach collection. I didn't buy anything from this collection, but I really liked this face chart.

This video focuses mainly on my favorite MAC brushes, but please don't feel like those are the only ones I use or that are worth using! I admit that I absolutely LOVE my MAC Brushes, and believe they are totally worth the money. Most of my MAC brushes are well over 4-5 years old and still in wonderful condition. I feel like its more worth it to spend more on something that will last a long time then buy something cheap that you'll have to replace rather quickly.
If MAC brushes are out of your...

Fierce Friday this week was inspired by the fact that I never use my reflects glitters from MAC. They're so pretty and the fact that they are so finely milled makes them way easier to wear than regular chunky glitter.

This was a fun look to wear, I like how the pastel fun purple green lid was contrasted by the dark green liner. Yay!
