GOLD DUST + The Nudes by Maybelline (First Impressions)

So I read about this Maybelline Palette.. The Nudes online about a month and a half ago. And have been on the hunt for one ever since. 

For a while I had been eyeing it up at a local CVS, and then it came... the 25% off coupon. 

I rushed to CVS, turned the corner where the Maybelline display was... and there it was. 

An empty display. 

Then I went to Walgreens. No luck. 

Then Walmart. No luck. 

And then Target. And there it was. Cheaper here than the 3 stores I had visited. 

Needless to say I was happy. So happy I actually squealed a little bit. 

I'm not lying. 

My boyfriend thought and still thinks that I am completely out of my mind because of how excited I get over makeup & a good deal. 

But there it was at Target for $9.99

Hey everyone!

I've completely given up on trying to format html. 

I don't even know if that's the proper terminology but, I'm just too annoyed with it to try any longer. 

I figure I'll have a friend do it when the time is right, or when I actually gain a following I'll get some professional assistance.

Anyways, the weather is finally starting to get cooler here in PA, and I honestly couldn't be any more content. 

The leaves are slowly starting to lose their deep green, and become a roasted orange. 

Pumpkin everything has taken over. 

And I very recently saw my first white girl in shorts and UGGS. 

That's fall in PA. 

In my desperate attempts to hold on to the last bit of sunshine before grey skies become a constant, I've been playing in the brighter colors of my makeup. 

I give you....lakeside.

 Do you like it?

Do you love it?

I'm totally seducing you. 

Can you feel it ?

Whatever, I'll stop.

BEAUTY INGREDIENTS

1. Maybelline FITme! Foundation in 340 (Cappuccino)

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

3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate

4. Too Faced Shadow Insurance

5. Milani Bella Eyes Powder Shadow in Bella Navy

6. Milani Bella Eyes Powder Shadow in Bella Teal

7. bhcosmetics 88 Neutral Palette (crease, tearduct, highlight)

8. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

9. NARS Powder Blush in Amour

10. NYX Round Lipstick in Minimalism

If you took a look at the products used, I used 2 of Milani Cosmetics newest eye shadow products, and I can't wait to do a complete review for you. 

They blend like a fucking dream, and the color payoff is pretty incredible considering they're less than $5. 

Bella Teal is the color on my lower lashline, and I'm 100% obsessed with it. 

There's a bit of green and gold that really makes the color pop, can't wait to find a way to use this all over my eyelid. 

Have you tried any of the Bella Eyeshadows? 

Tell me what your favorite is.

Thanks a ton for stopping by !

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.

Spiced Cranberry Eyes + Happy Labor Day Weekend

 Hi Everyone.

Happy Friday !! We made it through another work week. Kudos to you for not going on off your boss this week, or falling asleep at your desk. And if you did... ohwell. 

Are you excited for Labor Day Weekend?? 

I wish I had something fun planned, like a cookout or something. Anything really.

I'll probably just hangout with some friends and laugh so hard I cry, so it's really not the worst thing ever. 

But if you decide to dress up, go out, or just play around with your makeup this weekend I have a look for you. 

Are you ready ?

BEAUTY INGREDIENTS

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance

2. SoftLips Cube in Fresh Mint

3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate

4. L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

5. 120 Colors Palette by bhcosmetics

6. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Single in Honey

7. NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Black (not pictured)

8. NARS Powder Blush in Amour

Starting out with a naked face, Moisturize and prime your face if you're going to be sweating, or if you're worried about your makeup falling off. I didn't this time because I was just testing this look out and it turned out much better than I expected. And apply a lip moisturizer as well.

I used the SoftLips Cube in Fresh Mint. If you remember, it was an item that was sent to me in the Influenster Vitality VoxBox, that I talked about here and I'm becoming obsessed with it. 

 Continue on with your foundation routine, I didn't post mine because everyone's routine is different.
But let me know if you'd like to see my routine in future posts.
And then if you fill in your brows, go ahead and do that now also. I did mine with Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade.

Now onto the eyeshadow.

What you're seeing is how I set up my palette. 

1. Apply the cranberry shade (Circled in Red) and apply that all over both eyelids. 
2. With a fluffy dome shaped brush, dip into the milk chocolate brown shade (Top. Circled in yellow.) And a dark chocolate brown shade (Bottom. Circled in Yellow.) Tap off the excess and apply directly into your crease using small circular motions. 
3. With another flat eyeshadow brush, go into the Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Honey, and line your lower lash line. Apply somewhat heavily. We want the Gold shade to be peeking out from under the green. 
4. With a pencil brush or liner brush, head back to the 120 Colors Palette and use the Kelly Green color (Bottom. Circled in Pink). Line this color directly on top of the gold color, staying as close to the water line as possible. 
5. 
   
6. Take a black eyeliner, and line your top lash line, and wing it out. 
7. Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara
8. Apply NARS Blush onto the apples of your cheeks. 
9. Touch up any eyeshadow that needs it, and clean away eyeshadow fallout. 
    
   
   
   

 Have an excellent Labor Day Weekend everyone !
