Copper and Mist

Hi everyone !

This past weekend was the first sunny weekend of spring, and it was beautiful. 

It's amazing how waking up and seeing the sun can really set the tone for your day. 

Saturday I went to lunch with my mom and nana, and before deciding what to wear I knew exactly how I wanted to paint my face. This is the usual story for me, I never know what to wear, and more times than not I'll have a full face of makeup on and still be in my pajamas.

I know I'm not the only one. 

Any-hooo, let's jump into the look. 

This is a great look for those of you who tend to wear neutrals, but are looking for a way incorporate some colors into your spring makeup.

I'm planning to start the #100daysofmakeup Tag on Instagram, so if you're not already following me there, you definitely should. I have a bunch of ideas and I'm excited to see what I can think of.

Daytime Glam using Morphe 35O

Hi everyone !
I hope your weekend was everything you dreamed it would be and more.

Saturday was my nana's Surprise birthday party, she turns 80 this week, so I was busy running around making sure the last minute details were perfect. And they weren't, as we were walking in to the hotel where the party was located, there's my aunts and cousins in the hall.. -___-

But all in all it was great, family and friends from all over the country were in town and she had a great time. That's all that matters. 

Anyways, my post today is on the look that I wore at that party. I got a lot of compliments and questions on it, and it's rather easy to do so, let's get right into it. 

All of the eye shadows are from my current everyday palette, the 35O by Morphe. 

It just makes waking up late, just a little bit less stressful. 

FACE

Hard Candy 12Hour Power Primer 

Milani Prime Perfection (Matte) (this blurs my pores, and keeps my oily skin tame)

Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Foundation in Cocoa Light

NARS Creamy Concealer

Airspun Loose Translucent Powder

Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino

NYX Contour Kit

NYX Illuminator in Magnetic

MAC Fix+

I know the Morphe 35O palette is always out of stock, it's out of stock at the moment :/

But they do restock it often, so keep your eyes out. If you follow the brand on Instagram they're very good with letting their followers know when it'll be out. 

Also, I  will be doing a full review of the Marc Jacobs foundation, so keep an eye out for that in the next upcoming weeks. 

EYES

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Morphe 35O

NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Extreme Black

This has been my go to lip combo for the past couple of weeks, I love rediscovering products in my makeup collection. I've had both of these since they released and I just love how they look paired together.

Hi there.
I posted this full face look on my instagram during Valentine's Day weekend, but the pics were only from my phone so they weren't the best quality.
So I figured this look would be a great way to make a return here at my baby blog.
As you probably realized, over the past few years I've hopped on and off of the blog train, mainly for personal reasons...being too busy, too much on my plate, yadda yadda. The usual list of excuses.
But over the past 6months or so, I've been making plans to do this blog and some other projects. The fact of the matter is, I love all things beauty related, and being able to share and create looks and products with you all is something I truly enjoy. So basically I'm back. So deal with it.


As I mentioned above, I posted this look on Valentine's Day weekend, so the holiday itself is pretty much the inspiration behind this look.
If you're interested in checking out the products I used, keep reading.

Double Wing & Warm Shadows

Hello everyone, 

I'm sorry for the delay between posts, but I'm still having some trouble formatting the page. 

But, here's a post of something I tried out today and kind of liked. 

It's a simple warm look using eyeshadows, something I do just about everyday. With a bit of a twist. Doubling up on the liner. A wing on top and a wing on the lower lash line. 

Kinda bold. Kinda daring. I kinda like it. 

BEAUTY INGREDIENTS

1. Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation in Caramel

2. Revlon Photoready Foundation in Caramel (used as a concealer)

3. Too Faced Shadow Insurance

4. bhcosmetics 88 Neutral Palette

5. NYC Liquid Liner in Black

6. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

7. Rimmel Eye Kohl in Nude (on waterline)

8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate

9. bhcosmetics Correct and Concealer Palette in Medium (brow highlight)

I like this look more than my usual everyday look, but the only issue with wearing it all the time for me is the time it took to carefully line my lower lash line with that liquid eyeliner. 

The amount of times I've tried this look and stabbed myself in my eye is truly obscene.
So if you're trying this look, take it slow. Don't be a hero. Seriously. 

So I do my makeup in a sports bra? 

What about it ? I like to be comfortable, okay . 

Get over yourself. 

Hope you enjoy this. 

Please don't be let down by the "brief-ness" of this post, I'm still very frustrated with the format of some better posts, and I'm doing my best to figure out the html stuff to try to make it as best as possible before I show it to you guys. As well as trying to make the pictures better. 

The things I do for you. Kidding. 

Thanks everyone.
