NYE Makeup

Hello fashionistas! 

Many of you are probably already planning what your NYE makeup will be (I say go full monty and wear a lot of sparkle and bright lipstick), but I wanted to share a look that I wore to my yearly Christmas Girl's PJ Party. I went with a golden/brown/grey eye with a pink pout. I think this is NYE appropriate, so hopefully this helps if you are in a makeup dilemma! 

In case you want to know what I did to my hair I'll tell you! I just took a small straightener and did waves. I spritzed my whole head with hair spray and called it a day!

My PJs are from Kohl's, the Simply Vera Vera Wang line, so are my earrings! 

Face:

Beneift Boi-ing concealer

Maybelline Pure Stay powder foundation

Nars Orgasm Blush 

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (bronzer only to contour) on my face and my nose 

Too Faced Sun Bunny Bronzer Powder on my cheeks (just the light side to highlight)

Lips 

 Kat Von D Celebutard

Milani Berry Rich on top 

Co Bigelow Spiced Vanilla Chai lipgloss on top 

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion all over

Stila Kitten eyeshadow all over

UD Mushroom all over 

Stila Kitten in the inner corner

UD Naked to buff out crease

UD Virgin to highlight

UD Mushroom as a liner

On my lower lashline I have UDPP, Stila Kitten all over and UD Mushroom on the last 2/3 of the lower lashline

Maybelline Falsies mascara (my favorite mascara E V E R) 
UD 24/7 Liner in Whiskey on my inner lower lashline

I filled my brows in with UD's Naked 

I just wanted to thank all of my readers for another lovely year. Hope 2013 brings you a lot of luck! 

Hope this helps!

Loads of love!

Quick 5 Minute Face.

Hello fashionistas!

I haven't done a makeup post in eons, so I thought I would share what has become my quick five minute face. I've realized that some days I just don't feel like wearing a ton of makeup, so this looks put together, but is also super easy.

*Please excuse the messy hair! I slipped my hair back into a loose bun. 

On my face I used:

 Benefit's Boi-ing concealer

 E.L.F. Translucent powder

E.L.F. Contouring bronzer for some warmth on my cheekbones

Too Faced blush in "Who's Your Poppy?"

On my eyes I used:

Too Faced Lashgasm mascara

Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Whiskey to tight-line my upper inner lash line

Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows 

On my lips I used:

Stila's lip liner in Devoted

Co. Bigelow lipgloss in Spiced Chai Latte

Devoted has quickly become my go to berry toned red liner. I think it is going to be a great shade for the upcoming fall/winter months. What do you guys normally do for your 5 minutes faces?

Today I took a few tests and quizzes. Everything went well. I'm glad I spent all of yesterday studying, it really paid off! I also finished the construction of my first pottery project of the year.

 I can't wait for tomorrow to be here, I love Fridays! I'm just babysitting, but that's still fun.

What are your weekend plans?

Too Faced Romantic Eye Look

Hello fashionistas!
It's time for another makeup post. I FINALLY got around to photographing a look with my Too Faced Romantic Eye palette, click on the highlighted part to see my review of this palette.
I honestly love this palette and I'm very glad that I purchased it. 

For the look I'm sharing today I did a sultry purple eye. I love playing with purples and this palette comes with a great range of purples!

Excuse the hair, I did nothing but blow dry it with my head upside down for some more volume!

Here's what I used on my face.

Benefit Boi-ing concealer

Physician's Formula Translucent Powder

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzer (bronzer only to contour)

Too Faced Sun Bunny Bronzer Powder on my cheeks

Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in Cloud Wine

For my eyes: 

Urban Decay Primer Potion all over lid and on the lower rim of my eye

Too Faced Cut the Cake all over lid

Too Faced First Dance in the crease/outer corner, blended

Too Faced I Do in the mid-tone area, blended

Too Faced Soulmates as my highlight

Urban Decay Infamous on my lower lashline

Too Faced First Dance layered on top of Infamous

Too Faced Lashgasm on my lashes

NYC Liquid Liner on my upper lashline 

Urban Decay Naked to fill in my brows

For my lips I swept a quick coat of Co. Bigelow Pink Mint on and called it a day! 

I would definitely wear this out on a date or for a special occasion, but being the makeup-ista I am I just did it for the blog! I love doing makeup posts because it lets me tap into my creativity. 

This is a pre-scheduled post, so while you're reading this I'm probably out swimming in a beautiful, spring fed lake or soaking up some sun. Hope you're all doing great! I can't wait to read all of the posts I'm missing!

Loads of love!

Parisian Inspired Outfit and Makeup of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to share my Parisian inspired outfit and makeup of the day with you all.

Top and shoes: Belk Jeans: JCP Tank-top: Forever 21 Earrings: Claire's (bought eons ago) Watch: Avenue 

As I did my makeup this morning I felt very Parisian, so I decided to go for a red lip and winged black eye. 

To tie in my Parisian makeup with my outfit I wore my favorite black and white polka dot top and pointed toe kitten heels. Polka dots + sheerness = best purchase of my life. Just sayin'.

Accessorized with these old dangling grommet-y earrings from Claire's for a bit of toughness! 

Props to Dad for photos this morning! 

I'm so obsessed with this Korres Liquid Lipstick that I bought from Sephora a few weeks ago. 

The shade is called Raspberry. It goes on like a lipgloss and dries to a VERY long last lipstick. 

I highly suggest you all look into Korres' Liquid Lipstick line. I definitely want to check out their other shades.

Here's a regular swatch of it. 

This was all I did for eye makeup. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion and Urban Decay Blackout shadow to do a slight winged line look. Very simple. 

Now that I'm set for Parisian makeup, can I please go to Paris? Pretty please?...

I'm off to go do a friend's hair and makeup for a dance. Then the boyfriend and I are getting together.

Have a glorious weekend!

Beloved Bronzes and Glistening Golds

Hello fashionistas!

I did a quick makeup look before I went out to lunch/shopping/errands with the momma and best friend. 

Decided to snap some pictures to share with you all. 

I went for a slightly sultry bronze and gold look. My favorite kind of look! 

Here are all the products I used on my eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay Naked 2 YDK shadow all over

Stila Kitten shadow lightly dusted all over YDK

Urban Decay Naked 1 Naked to buff out my crease

Urban Decay Naked 2 Bootycall as my highlight 

Milani black eye pencil to line my upper lashes

NYX Yogurt as a base on my lower lash line

Urban Decay YDK all over NYX's Yogurt

Covergirl Lashblast mascara on upper and lower lashes

Urban Decay Naked to fill in my brows

Urban Decay Naked is such a great crease color and it's the perfect brow color match for me!

Cannot express my love for this shadow enough. 

On my face I used: 

Benefit Boi-ing concealer

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation in Light Ivory

Physician's Formula translucent powder to set everything

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder to contour my face

Stila Camilla bronzing cream blush on my cheeks

Nars Orgasm blush 

Nars Orgasm Illuminator on top of the blush

On my lips I used:

Some random berry toned Sephora lipgloss that has no name because it was a mini in a set, sorry guys!

To tone down the berry color I used Revlon's Lilac Pastel lipgloss over it. I'm sure any berry lipstick/gloss would work well to make this color!

I'm off to go have a girl's night in with my best friend. We bought special desserts at the Fresh Market, doing pedicures, facials, and  watching movies. Should be a blast!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Sunset Boulevard- Makeup of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

Today I did a sunset inspired makeup and remembered to take pictures to share with you all. 

I used my new Too Faced Summer Eye palette for some of this. Overall, I definitely like the Romantic Eye palette better. I think the quality of the shadows is better, some of the Summer Eye shades aren't as pigmented/become muddy when you blend. 

Here are the products I used on my eyes.

Urban Decay Primer Potion

MAC Melon pigment all over

Too Faced Summer Eye palette's Coral Crush in my outer corner/crease

Urban Decay Naked 2 Half Baked in the center/blended into the Coral Crush 

Urban Decay Bootycall as my highlight

Too Faced Summer Eye palette's Toasted Coconut as my eyeliner

Covergirl Lashblast mascara top and bottom

Urban Decay Naked to fill in my eyebrows a  bit

Full face shot. I used my favorite blusher ever, Nars' Orgasm. I am sporting a nice all over tan because of the recent beach trips I've taken! I went Sunday morning/afternoon with the boyfriend and again with him yesterday after school. It was really fun. Anyways, that's the whole reason I'm tan again. 

To keep with the sunset theme I put on Kate Moss' Rimmel London #12 lipstick with Palladio Herbal Liplicious lipgloss in Apricot over it to tone down the the coral. 

Today I took my first AICE english paper and it went relatively well. I definitely passed it. 

Tomorrow is pre-AICE history and this doesn't count for college credit. Should do okay on it. 

I'm off to study with my best friend. After that we're going out to dinner. 

Have a fabulous day!

Outfit and Makeup of the Yesterday.

Hello fashionistas!

Over the weekend I tanned so much that I got a bit burnt. 

My legs never tan so I neglected to SPF them up and well never say never because my legs got burnt. #Painful. Anyways, I couldn't put pants on my legs (hello double the pain) so I went for this super soft dress. 

I wore this little get-up to school on Monday. 

Dress: ? Borrowed it from my mom Blazer: New York and Co. Shoes: Aerosoles Tank-top, headband, and earrings: Forever 21 

This dress is insanely comfortable. I like that it can be dressed down by wearing it over a bathing suit and dressed up with a blazer. I think the ability to be transformed into multiple outfits makes a piece of clothing a good buy. Next time I'm going to belt this because it is sort of big on me. 

With my new tan I was in the mood for a beachy hair-do. The first thing I did was spritz my  hair down with hairspray for a bit of texture. Then I took my bangs and braided them back in different sized braids, tied with clear elastics. I decided to do more braids throughout my hair and just made them in different sizes because I wanted it to look casual. Afterwards I put some pomade throughout my hair for more texture, slipped my hair into its mini ponytail, and finally added my sassy cheetah headband. 

I feel like I achieved the beach-y hair that I wanted!  

I woke up and decided that I needed to do a pop of color with my makeup. 

I'm all about pops of color (in case you all haven't already noticed)!
Try out these beauty coupons and save on pop of colors of your own

Here are all the products I used on my eyes: 

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin

Urban Decay Spotlight all over

Urban Decay Naked in my crease and in my brows

Urban Decay Haight as liner

Urban Decay Skimp as highlight 

Covergirl Lashblast mascara 

I got my english essay back and I got a 100%. Super exciting, mostly because she doesn't normally give out hundreds. That's about the only highlight of today. The rest of the day was mediocre. 

I seriously feel like this week has been dragging by. It's only Tuesday! All I want is it to be Friday.

Gossip Girl Makeup Look Recreated

Hello fashionistas!

Whilst watching this weeks episode of Gossip Girl, I was inspired to recreate Blair's (Leighton Meester) wedding makeup.

via

Inspired by picture.

Simple, subtly smokey pink makeup with a hot pink lip. Gorgeous.

Here's my take on it.

I went for a little bit of a brighter lip. I opted for no false lashes and used brown eyeliner to bring out my blue eyes. 

Top: American Eagle Earrings: Forever 21

Face

Beneift Boi-ing concealer

Maybelline Pure Stay powder foundation

Physcian's Formula translucent powder

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (bronzer only to contour)

ELF Pink Passion blush 

ELF Warm Bronzer on my cheeks

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Wet n' Wild pink shade from the Sweet As Candy trio (thanks to Amber for sending me this!) all over the lid

MAC Twinks in my crease and outer V

Urban Decay Naked 2 Bootycall and Foxy to highlight- Bootycall first then Foxy to tone down the shimmer

Milani brown Eyepencil on top lash line

Covergirl Lashblast 

Urban Decay Naked 1 Naked in my eyebrows to define

Lips

Revlon Colorburt lipstick in Fuschia 

CO Bigelow lipgloss in Pink Mint over the lipstick

Revlon Lilac Pastelle lipgloss over both of these to tone down the fuschia 

I think my lips turned out way brighter than Leighton's did, but I was happy with the color. Leighton's eyeshadow also appeared to be matte, but I went for shimmer. I honestly couldn't find a matte pink in my stash to dupe this look with. I'm much more of a sparkle and shimmer girl! 

Hope you all like this recreation!

Loads of love!

Naked 2 Makeup of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

When I started my blog I had intended for it to be more of a beauty blog. Somewhere along the way it became a fashion blog. I'm very into both of these things, so I wanted to show you all some of my day to day looks. 

I wanted to show you my makeup look from the other day. 

Also, meant to tell you all that I got a haircut almost a month ago. It's really short in the back and angled toward the front. Very Victoria Beckham-esque. You probably couldn't tell from my pictures and I just totally spaced and forgot to mention it to you all! 

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay Naked 2 "Snakebite" all over my lid

Urban Decay Naked 1 "Naked" to buff out my crease

Urban Decay Naked 2 "YDK" in my inner corner and lower inner corner

NYX Yogurt pencil in my lower inner corner with YDK over it

Urban Decay Naked 2 "Bootycall" as my highlight 

Milani eyeliner pencil in "Dark Brown" on my upper lash line

Covergirl Lashblast Mascara 

Face

Beneift Boi-ing concealer

Maybelline Pure Stay powder foundation

Physcian's Formula translucent powder

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (bronzer only to contour)

The Balm and the Beautiful "The Evil Twin" cheek cream

ELF Warm Bronzer on my cheeks

Lips

Random Sephora berry lipgloss, it didn't have a name on it. Sorry!

In case anyone is wondering, my shirt is from Forever 21. 

I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Tomorrow I have a history midterm and a french midterm. I've got a good bit of studying to do today! The only bright side to midterms is that we get out of school at 12:30. On Wednesday we have to go to school all day because we normally have early release that day and something with the bus routes and times means we have to stick out a full day of school. 

Lots of love!

Couture Makeup Look

Hello fashionistas!

The other night I was looking at different couture photos from various fashion shows. 

I love couture because it's fashion designers saying "Hey, I've made it big and I can do whatever the heck I want." 

Couture makeup allows makeup artists to let their creativity flow freely. Anyways, I was looking at these photos and my creativity was flowing and decided to go play with my makeup. 

It's definitely not something I would wear in real life. 

Sorry for the not so great photoshop job on my background. My sister's desk was a mess and I just wanted you guys to see my makeup

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid and underneath my eye

Urban Decay "Haight" eyeshadow all over my lid and under it

The Balm and the Beautiful "The Mother in Law" in my crease, up to my brow line, and in my outer corner

Urban Decay Naked 2 "Blackout" as liner

Urban Decay 24/7 liner in "Zero" in my water line

I used a random silver from a Flirt palette to blend out the blue under my eye socket

2 coats of Covergirl's Lashblast mascara

Lips

MAC Speed Dial lipstick

The random silver from the Flirt palette to make Speed Dial more of a frost color all over my lips

Face

Benefit Boi-ing concealer

Maybelline Pure Stay Powder foundation

(I really wanted to keep my face clean and simple)

Eyebrows

New York Color (NYC) eyeliner in "Taupe"

I wasn't sure what to do with my hair, so I teased parts of it and pulled it all back in a sort of up-do. It's really short! 

This picture inspired me to do this makeup look. I seriously love couture makeup. It's certifiably crazy, but totally gorgeous! All normal makeup laws are defied and you can do whatever you want.

I think I'm going to keep experimenting in crazy, couture makeup. 

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Milani Lipstick Review on "Sexy Rose"

Hello fashionistas!

Sorry for not blogging since Monday, I've been super busy having fun with friends and family.

Yesterday I did a little shopping with my two best friends, I'll have a small haul to go up tomorrow.

I'm also going to start photographing all of my Christmas presents to go up on here.

I wanted to show you all my new favorite lipstick! It's by Milani and it is called "Sexy Rose."

It's a creamy, smooth, frosty lipstick. I'm not normally a frost kind of gal, but this is such a beautiful, opaque color! A berry with fuschia undertones that work perfectly for winter. 

You all definitely need to go check out this lipstick. Oh, and the best part is the drugstore price tag! Under 5 dollars, can I get a woo-hoo?!
