This is a quick and easy halo eye makeup for beginners using wearable colors from the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay. I used Tease as a base for the shade YDK and for the middle of my lid I went with Verve. Finally, I applied MAC Stone, which is the perfect brown/grey lip color.

When it comes to taking my pictures I always love to create something eye-catching and fun. It can definitely make your photos stand out, and therefore attract more traffic to your blog. It adds personality and it can become your signature. So, when someone sees your photo elsewhere, they know where it's from. These are some of my favorite props that I use or that I love to see being used by other bloggers. Almost all of them can be found in our own homes, so no need to spend lots of money.
I am not gonna lie, I have tried a ton of mascaras throughout the years, from high end to everyone's drugstore favorites. But not many of them passed the "test" and only one became a holy grail.
As you can see, this is not the full size version. But in all honesty, I've been using one of these for over a year and it still has so much product in it. I can't even imagine how many months it will take for me to finish it. I love that this mascara has quite a dry formula, which means that when you use this product, you don't have to worry about smudging it so easily and waiting a while for it to dry.
There is literally no product that can tame my lashes. They
have a life of their own. But the first time I used this, I was
fascinated by how amazing my eyelashes looked. Although, I naturally
have long lashes, this makes them even longer, if that's possible. Also,
they look voluminous and separated. This is by far, the best mascara
I've ever tried. I need to purchase the full size version as soon as possible.
One thing that I learned over the years is if you have good brushes you can conquer the world... Well, maybe not the world, but you can definitely create the most flawless makeup look. I am very picky when it comes to brushes. I have tried a bunch from different brands, but I have to say that these three are my ultimate favorites (for now).
MAC 217 - If you feel like blending is always an impossible task, you need this brush in your life. It pretty much does the job for you. Since it has a dome shape, you can diffuse your eyeshadow and also create a sharp cut crease. It's my most used and well loved brush, I can't do my makeup without it.
Sigma E39* - This one is perfect for the lower lash line, also to create cut creases, and for any small details. It is incredibly soft and dense. Although they have different shapes, I consider this a smaller version of the 217. Sometimes the 217 can be way too big for some areas, so I use this brush to achieve the desired look.
Sigma E54* - This is my go-to brush to place eyeshadow all over the eyelids and diffuse the edges at the same time. If you don't like using your fingers to apply eyeshadow, but still loves the effect it gives, this is definitely a must have.
I have small hooded eyes, and all of these are just the perfect size. I swear by these brushes, they really improved my "blending game". What are some of your holy grail eyeshadow brushes?

When I created Aim In The Game, my goal was to make this a fashion blog, but as time passed I ended up posting more beauty related content than anything else. So I decided that for 2016 I want to post more pictures of my outfits. Don't worry, makeup reviews are always going to be a part of this blog. As many of you fashion addicts might know, Zara is currently having a sale. If you know me, you know I love sales and you can definitely expect to find me at a Zara sale.
I completely fell in love with these super stylish sneakers. Most importantly, they are very comfortable. Finally, I picked up these tight-fitting trousers. You can never have too many high waisted pants. Right?! But as you can see this time I didn't go too crazy. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. What do you think of the items I chose?
I think it's known by now, how much I love MAC products. My collection is definitely not huge, but I am very pleased with the amount of lipsticks from them that I have. I mostly own matte, a few retro matte and only one satin. I really adore their nudes and vampy lip colors.
