Earlier this month, I officially became a certified MUA taught under the MUD (or makeup designory) certified program. I am beyond ecstatic to share what I've learned and my experience with my short time there. The program was only 4 weeks long and in that time, we went over pretty much everything any makeup artist could specialize in and what you should know when working on people's faces. So much! but before I go into some detail'd posts, I just wanted to share some pictures of my creations in class. Please if you have questions, let me know by email or by commenting below! I'd love to hear from some viewers :) If you also want a more in-depth look at my recent creations, check out my Instagram: @emeliabbyxo!

This post is going to combine two of my loves, beauty and football! Well, mostly just the Seahawks :D I was born and raised in Washington, and although I haven't been a 12th Man for all my life, I've come to love and appreciate my home team, and it's fun to watch! In tonight's game alone I counted 97 total tweets of mine rooting for the Seahawks during game time #crazy. In honor of their home win tonight against the Denver Bronco's, I rushed into my room to create this look! Hope you enjoy and for all my twelves out there, #GOHAWKS!!!

Gerard cosmetics is a beauty brand that produces high quality and professional products. Their stock ranges from lip products to an amazing illuminating creme, and of course Jaclyn Hill's amazing lippie products. If you haven't heard of them or seen them featured in some Youtube video then you've been living under a rock! Today I received my order from them and wanted to share some swatches of the products I got. I placed an order earlier in the week for a Brow Bar to go palette (not swatched) and 3 of their newest lipsticks. I am so excited to share some swatches with you and if you're interested in ordering these products, leave a comment below of which color you're interested in trying! :)

Side Note: HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS PACKAGING?!!!?!@?!?#@!?$@!?# Seriously amazing.
