Welcome to Day 2!

I’m really excited about this section, creating your blog’s mission page and/or about me section. I think this is important because it tells your readers who you are, and what kind of information you’re giving them. Basically, this is an opportunity to reach out to your readers, welcome them, and explain why they should keep coming back for more. I check out new blogs all the time. If it’s really interesting to me, I dive deeper and deeper into content. But if I see an “about me” image or “start here” page, I stop dead in my tracks to check it out!

Some things you can include are: Continue Reading →

7-Day Blog Revamp [Day 1]: Assess Your Blog (And Set Your Goals!)

By on May 19, 2013 in Archive, Blogging

Scandalous Beauty Blog Revamp Day 1

Welcome! 

Today is the first day of the 7-Day Blog Revamp! If this is the first time we’re meeting, my name is Erin Bailey. I’ve been blogging about makeup for seven years now. I have to admit, this challenge is going to be a workout for all of us. Yep, I’m doing it with you! My blog needs some TLC, so I think we can all benefit.

Today, we’re going to start out with an assessment. We’re going to see where we are, so we can figure out where we’re going. Some of you might be hippie bloggers–you post whenever, aren’t concerned with who’s reading or what your stats are, and you do it for personal enjoyment. Others could be looking at it as a serious hobby, treating it like a part-time job, pumping your heart and soul into it. Others might see it as a profession, using it to help bring in steady income and build a brand. All of these options are fan-freakin-tastic.

So lets look ahead. Where do you want your blog to be in 3 months? What goals do you want to accomplish? Where do you want to be on your next blogiversary? What about in January 2014? What about 5 years from now? There’s no right or wrong time frame.

Becca Cosmetics Mega Sale: Stick Foundations, Glosses, Powders and More

By on May 16, 2013 in Archive

So I’m rushing out of the house the way that I normally do, but one last Faceboook check reveals a sudden glory–Becca has a ton of stuff on sale. From what it looks like, it’s all being discontinued. One of my greatest prized possessions are my Becca glosses. I only own about five, mostly because they are on the expensive side (as far as my collection stands). However, they’re on sale for $14 now, so I think I’ll get a couple more. They are bold enough to easily wear alone, but just sheer enough to wear over lipstick.  I can tell you that the swatches below are a little lighter than what they should be. Sugar Plum is a tad darker.

They’ve got all kinds of stuff on sale, and there really is A LOT up for grabs. Here’s the Last Chance section on Becca’s website.

VIDEO: The Gold Smokey Eye Look That I Loved…But Forgot About!

By on May 9, 2013 in Budget Beauty

Back in the day, when I had a ton of time and my creative juices were constantly flowing, I had a few go to looks. But somewhere, somehow, they disappeared from memory. I’m not entirely sure how this happens. So I was going through my Youtube videos the other day, and I found the gold look based on a tutorial by Scott Barnes. I instantly fell in love again. (So in love, in fact, that I’m pretty sure I’ll be rocking this to graduation.) I was doing variations of the look all the time, no matter where I went. I’d do the look with browns, golds, purples, greens, blues–you name it. It’s one of those looks that isn’t hard to do, and it’s neutral enough that you can wear it day or night. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to get the look, step-by-step.

BTW, If you don’t have Saucy Eye Shadow duo by L’Oreal HIP, I need you to run out and get it. Immediately.

By the way, I’ve got less then a week left to go until graduation. I’ve got a list of video tutorials and reviews that I’ll be putting together on my Youtube channel. Let the games begin!

MAC Riri Woo Swatch and Ruby Woo Comparison

MAC Riri Woo Swatch and Ruby Woo Comparison

Earlier today, I took a picture of Ruby Woo and Riri Woo side by side. As you can see, they’re very, very close. Some say they are identical. My makeup buddy Meagan says “Riri Woo is much more blue & is a true red, while Ruby Woo is more warm, less cool.” I’m no makeup expert, any my eye for detail has never been that fantastic. However, these are just too close for me to really be able to tell the difference. I’ll be wearing them interchangeably.

Did you get a tube of Riri Woo lipstick? Based on the image, do you think they’re the same color, or is there a difference?

Rihanna fans and red lipstick lovers all over the world are doing backflips right now.  MAC Riri Woo lipstick ($15) debuts online May 2nd, plus at Barclays Center, at the M·A·C Pop-Up Store for concert ticket holders. MAC calls it Rihanna’s remix of the cult classic, Ruby Woo. As a fan of Ruby Woo, I have to say that I am REALLY exited to see what this lipstick looks like. One thing is for sure–this is going to sell out FAST. *All I see is signs, All I see is dollar signs*
