EOTD: Mint Eye Look (Using Lorac Mint Edition Palette)

Hey everyone! This is actually an eye look that I did a while back. I think it was around when Lorac Cosmetics was having a contest where people would send in pictures whenever they spotted the color mint. Sadly I didn't win with any of entries. Oh well, there is always a next time with other contests. LOL Anyways because of the contest, I wanted to do a mint eye look. I have never worn the color mint on my eyes before and I actually quite look it. I was afraid that it wasn't going to be so wearable but it actually came out pretty natural. You can probably even wear this eye look to work too but probably without the blue liner on your waterline.

I was so excited when I created this eye look because it was the first time where I used my Lorac Mint Edition palette. The whole thing that made me want the palette was the mint shadow. I actually wish that this palette had the shades names on the bottom like their other palettes. It would be so much easier to have the names of the shadows when talking about them. Plus there are some shades that I would love to purchase, if I ever do hit pan and finish them.

EYE PRODUCTS USED:
◊ Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
I love priming my eyes with this primer. I love the packaging. It keeps the product more sanitary since you squeeze the primer out whether than using a wand or your fingers.
◊ Lorac Mint Edition palette
I used the third shade (mint) all over my lid. Then I used the first shadow (light cream) to blend everything and applied some onto the brow bone as a highlight.
◊ Ulta Kohl Eye Liner "Halo"
I really like this eye liner. I always use it on the inner corner to my eyes to give them that more brighten, wide awake look. Its a frosty white but I applied some of the cream shade from the palette on top to set it.
◊ Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara "Black"
I really like this mascara. It gives my lashes volume but it doesn't lengthen them that much, which sucks a bit but that is fine.
◊ Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara "Blackest Black"
I bought this mainly for the summer for those beach days but have been using it mainly for my lower lashes since its a waterproof mascara. It doesn't clump but just gives me volume. It does smudge sometimes but not always, which is weird.
◊ ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit "Dark"
I love this kit for eyebrows. I think this is like my 6th repurchase of it. It has everything I need: mini brush, brow wax, and a brow powder! Plus the brow wax doesn't have any red undertone to it like the Revlon BrowFantasy brow gel and pencil does.
◊ Cargo Eyeliner "Blue"
For some reason, the blue is coming out more vibrant in the pictures but in person, its a more darker blue. I just love the look of having mint all over the lid and then having a bold blue on the waterline as a contrast.
◊ ELF Natural False Eye Lashes
I don't really like these false lashes that much but I am trying to use them up since I bought a couple. The band is too flexible and is hard for my apply. I wouldn't repurchase again.

So those are all the products that I used to create this mint eye look. Its super simple and you could basically use any mint shade, if you don't have the Lorac Mint Edition palette. There are some drugstore brands that have mint shades, like Wet N Wild. I think one of their new limited edition ColorIcon palettes has a mint shade in it. I hope you guys liked it even though its so simple but those are the types of eye looks that I typically wear.

QUESTIONS:
Do you like wearing mint shades?

EOTD: Naturally Purple

Hey everyone! I know, I know! You are probably thinking, "What is up with all these natural eye look?" LOL Well, what can I say? I love wearing natural eye looks that I can wear everywhere and everyday. I mean I know I love all those crazy, out there eye looks that other people create but lets be honest, nobody goes around all day with those unless its for Halloween or for parties. Maybe someday I will have enough courage and experience with makeup to come up with my own colorful eye looks. If I ever do, you guys will be the first ones to see them!

PRODUCTS USED:
◊ LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
◊ LORAC Eyeshadow "Nude"
◊ LORAC Eyeshadow "Mauve"
◊ LORAC Eyeshadow "Deep Purple"
◊ LORAC Eyeshadow "Cream" + "Light Pink"
◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA Eyeliner "Purple"
◊ ULTA Kohl Eye Pencil "Halo"
◊ MARY KAY Ultimate Mascara "Black"
◊ MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara "Black Drama"
◊ ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark"
◊ ELF Eye Shadow Brush
◊ ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush
◊ LONDON SOHO Blending Brush
◊ REVLON Lash Curler

1. First and foremost, I primed my eyes with LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer and blended the primer with my fingers.
2. For this whole eye look, I used all the shadows from my LORAC Pro palette. First I grabbed my ELF Eye Shadow Brush to apply LORAC Eyeshadow "Nude" onto the inner corners of my lids. As you can see, I tend to apply Nude onto my inner corners because I just love it so much and it really brightens up my eyes.
3. Using my ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush, I tapped my brush lightly in LORAC Eyeshadow "Mauve" to blend into my crease.
4. Once that was blended to my liking, I used the same brush to apply LORAC Eyeshadow "Deep Purple" on the outer corners of my lids and blended upward.
5. For my brow bone highlight, I applied both LORAC Eyeshadow "Cream" and "Light Pink" for my perfect highlight shade.
6. I also lined my upper lash line with PHYSICIANS FORMULA Eyeliner "Purple" and used ULTA Kohl Eye Pencil "Halo" on the inner rim of my eyes.
7. I then curled my lashes with my REVLON Lash Curler and applied MARY KAY Ultimate Mascara "Black" onto my top lashes with MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara "Black Drama" for my lower lashes.
8. Next up were my brows so I used my ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark" to define my brows and voila, my eyes are done!!

So those are all the products that I used! I love how the purple actually compliments my brown eyes and brings them out a bit! This is such a great Spring look because I always envision colors like purple for Spring. Plus I think its a great eye look to wear all year around.

QUESTIONS:
How do you feel about my soft purple eye look?
Do you love wearing purple shadows?

FOTD & EOTD: Soft Green

Hey everyone! I can actually see why so many people post a bunch of different eye looks on here now because its so much fun creating them and putting the pictures together. I just love how I can have all my eye looks together in one place for future reference. For this eye look, I decided to go with my cream shadows instead of using powder shadows. All the shadows featured in this eye look are cream shadows. It did take a bit to blend it but it was interestng to work with cream shadows again. I know that cream shadows aren't for everyone but cream shadows have never failed for me.They last all day on me and never crease on my lids. I just went with one trio today from Maybelline. I love the shades in this trio because it has a champange shade, an emerald green, and a brown shade. All of these shades are perfect for creating a green eye look, perfect for the Spring! If you would like to see swatches of this trio and/or more eye looks using Flash Of Forest, please let me know!

 

FACE PRODUCTS USED:

◊ TARTE Amazonian Clay Foundation "Light"

◊ KAT VON D Concealer "Light"

◊ REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair"

◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA HealthyWear Bronzer "Tan"

◊ PHILOSPHY The Color Of Grace Art Of Blushing "Pink Dreams"

◊ PHILOSPHY Shimmering Face Powder "Amazing Grace"

◊ ELF STUDIO Powder Brush

◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Powder Brush

◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Contour Brush

◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Multi Task Brush

◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Pointed Foundation Brush

 

EYE PRODUCTS USED:

◊ MAYBELLINE EyeStudio Trio "05 Flash Of Forest"

◊ TOO FACED LashGasm Mascara "Black"

◊ MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express "Black Drama"

◊ ELF Natural Lash Kit

◊ DUO Lash Glue

◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA Eyeliner "Brown"

◊ ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark"

◊ ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush

◊ ELF STUDIO Angled Eyeliner Brush

◊ REVLON Lash Curler

 

LIP PRODUCTS USED:

◊ ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil

◊ REVLON Lip Butter "Berry Smoothie"

 

Steps to recreate this face look:

1. I have really been loving this new foundation that I had the chance to try out. For this look, I used my ELF STUDIO Powder Brush to apply the TARTE Amazonian Clay Foundation "Light" onto my face.
2. Since the Tarte foundation doesn't cover up all my blemishes, I made sure to use the KAT VON D Concealer "Light" to conceal them.
3. To set my foundation, I used my REAL TECHNIQUES Powder Brush with my REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair".
4. As well with my other face looks, I used my PHYSICIANS FORMULA HealthyWear Bronzer "Tan" to contour with my REAL TECHNIQUES Contour Brush. I just apply the bronzer onto the sides of my forehead, under my chin, on the sides of my nose, and to contour my cheekbones.
5. Since I have been using my Rimmel blush a lot, I decided to go differently with this look and use my PHILOSPHY The Color Of Grace Art Of Blushing "Pink Dreams" because it gives my cheeks a light pink flush. To apply this blush, I used my REAL TECHNIQUES Multi Task Brush.
6. I also used my REAL TECHNIQUES Pointed Foundation brush to apply my PHILOSPHY Shimmering Face Powder "Amazing Grace" onto the top of my cheekbones for an added glow.

Steps to recreate this eye look:

1. For my eyes, since I decided to use cream shadows, I didn't use a eye primer because I didn't need one but if you would like to recreate this eye look, you can add a primer. To create the perfect Spring Green eye look, I wanted to use my MAYBELLINE EyeStudio Trio "05 Flash Of Forest" because it has all the shades perfect for one eye look.
2. I used the first cream shadow in the trio and applied that onto my whole lid and brow bone area using my finger. Once that was blended in, I used the second shade and applied that shade over my lid but stopping at the crease.
3. Once I applied the emerald green cream shadow onto my lid, I used my ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush to blend everything in and made sure that there weren't any mistakes or harsh lines.
4. Last, I used the last shade in the trio, which was the brown shade and applied that onto my upper lash line using my ELF STUDIO Angled Eyeliner Brush.
5. Once I felt like the shadows settled a bit, I took my REVLON Lash Curler to curl my lashes and applied my false lashes from the ELF Natural Lash Kit. I didn't want to use the glue provided in the kit so I used my own DUO Lash Glue and applied some onto the lash strip.
6. When the glue was a bit on the tacky side, I applied the lashes onto my lash line and used my fingers to line them up with my eyes. Once the lash glue was dried, I took some more of the brown cream shadow and applied that over the lash strip.
7. I curled my lashes again and used my TOO FACED LashGasm Mascara "Black" to blend my real lashes into the false lashes and curled them again with my REVLON Lash Curler.
8. For my lower lashes, I applied the MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express "Black Drama" and made sure not to smudge onto my under eye area.
9. Since I wanted to line my waterline, I used my PHYSICIANS FORMULA Eyeliner "Brown" to tie in with the whole green eye look.

For my lips:

1. Now that I am done with my eyes, I moved down to my lips and lined them with the ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil.
2. Then I applied the REVLON Lip Butter "Berry Smoothie" onto my lips.

So those are all the products that I used! I actually love wearing this whole look out for the day and will definitely be wearing it again, especially throughout Spring!! Its just the perfect soft eye look and is great for those who have always wanted to try out green eyes but was too scared or felt uncomfortable with colors. This way, you can wear green but its soft enough for you to feel comfortable. If you would like to see more looks like this, please let me know because I had so much fun creating this eye look.

QUESTIONS:
Do you like using cream shadows?
How do you feel about my soft green eye look?

FOTD & EOTD: Simple Yet Natural

Hey everyone! Here is another look that I recently created. I recently had the chance to go to Sephora and when I was there, I made sure to ask for samples. The only products that I wanted to try were both the Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation and the Kat Von D Concealer. I tried the Kat Von D concealer before and it broke me out but that was months ago so I decided to give it another try. Plus I have been hearing so many great reviews on the Tarte foundation that I wanted to try that too. I was just going to go in and buy it but while swatching it to find my correct shade, I noticed that it was a bit on the thick side so I asked for a sample instead since thick foundations tend to irritate my skin. If you have any of those products, definitely let me know what you think of them and whether or not you like them.

Steps to recreate this face look:

1. I have been trying out TARTE Amazonian Clay Foundation "Light" so I have been wearing this lately. I like to apply it with my ELF STUDIO Powder brush and blend everything in.
2. Second, I used my KAT VON D Concealer "Light" to conceal any imperfections that need concealing. I just blended everything with my fingers.
3. Once everything is blended and concealer, I took my REAL TECHNIQUES Powder brush to apply my REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair" to set my foundation.
4. For contouring my cheekbones, forehead, chin, and nose I applied my PHYSICIANS FORMULA Healthy Wear Bronzer "Tan" using my REAL TECHNIQUES Contour Brush.
5. Next using my REAL TECHNIQUES Multi Task Brush, I applied TARTE Amazonian Clay 12HR Blush "Fantastic" with HARD CANDY Baked Blush "Living Doll" on top for a shimmery pink glow.
6. For an added highlight onto my cheekbones, I applied PHILOSOPHY Shimmering Face Powder "Amazing Grace" using my REAL TECHNIQUES Pointed Foundation Brush.

Steps to recreate this eye look:

1. For my eyes, I primed them with my TOO FACED Shadow Insurance Eye Primer and used my fingers to blend everything in.
2. Using my LORAC Pro palette, I used my ELF Eye Shadow Brush to apply LORAC Eyeshadow "Nude" on the inner corners of my lids and then blended LORAC Eyeshadow "Pewter" on the crease of my lids using my ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush.
3. Once everything was blended in, I applied URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Hustle" on the outer corner of my lids using the same blending brush that I used earlier.
4. When that was blended, I applied LORAC Eyeshadow "Cream" as my brow bone highlight using my LONDON SOHO Blending Brush.
5. I wanted to line my upper lash line, so I used my PHYSICIANS FORMULA Felt-Tip Eyeliner + Serum "Deep Brown" because its a pigmented brown.
6. I also lined my inner corner with ULTA Kohl Eye Pencil "Halo" for a more brighten eye look.
7. Now onto my lashes, I always curl my lashes with my REVLON Lash Curler and applied MARY KAY Ultimate Mascara "Black" onto my lashes with MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara "Black Drama" on my lower lashes.
8. Then I did my brows with my favorite brow product, which is the ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark" to define them.

For my lips:

1. Since my eyes were done, I went to line my lips with my ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil and applied WET N WILD MegaShield Lip Color SPF15 "It's A Girl" on top.
2. To give them a more glossy feel, I applied NARS Lip Gloss "Super Orgasm" because its a pretty shade.

So those are all the products that I used! I actually love this eye look because its so natural and I know that a lot of people can wear this everyday. Plus people can easily recreate this eye look with similar shades. Its a great Spring look as well as for all year around because of how natural it is. I love how the blush and the lips give this look a pop of color. I just love this look so much and hope that all you guys end up loving it too!

QUESTIONS:
How do you feel about my natural eye look for the Spring?
Do you love wearing natural eye looks?

FOTD: Pop of Pinks & Purples

Hey everyone! This was actually my first time wearing really bold, colorful shadows. I wore this look a while back and have been wanting to post it on my blog. I actually had so much fun playing around with my makeup. LOL I was going through my whole makeup collection to look for the colors that I wanted to use. I am actually surprised that I decided to try using pinks and purples since I tend to wear soft neutral shades but I knew that I had to make the colors bold to show up clearly. Plus I just love how it all worked out together. It was still bright, yet wearable for outside. I even wore this whole look for the day where I went shopping and ran errands. I actually got a couple of compliments so I am super happy with how this look turned out! I hope that you guys will enjoy this look and that some of you will even consider recreating it.

PRODUCTS USED:
Face:
◊ TARTE Amazonian Clay Foundation "Light"
◊ KAT VON D Concealer "Light"
◊ REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair"
◊ TARTE Mineral Bronzer "Park Ave Princess"
◊ LAURA MERCIER Blush "Pink Orchid"

Steps to recreate this look:

1. Lately I have trying out a foundation that I have been debating whether or not to buy. I recently got a sample of the TARTE Amazonian Clay Foundation "Light" and so its okay but probably not my favorite. I just applied this with my ELF STUDIO Powder Brush.
2. Another product that I have been trying out as well is the KAT VON D Concealer "Light". I just apply this onto the places where I need it and blend with my finger.
3. After all my spots are concealed, I apply the REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair" with my REAL TECHNIQUES Powder Brush.
4. After setting my foundation, I like to contour my face with my TARTE Mineral Bronzer "Park Ave Princess. I just apply the bronzer with my REAL TECHNIQUES Contour Brush on the sides of my forehead, nose, and chin.
5. After contouring my cheekbones, I applied the LAURA MERCIER Blush "Pink Orchid" with my REAL TECHNIQUES Multi Task Brush. Pink Orchid just gives my cheeks a pretty pink glow.

Eyes:
◊ URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Scratch"
◊ URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Woodstock"
◊ URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Flash"
◊ URBAN DECAY Eyeliner "A Sphyxia"
◊ TARTE Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara
◊ ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark"

1. First, I did my brows with my ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark". I first applied the brow wax onto my brows to make them more defined and then applied the brow powder to set the wax.
2. After I primed my eyes with my URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
3. Once my eyes were primed, I applied URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Scratch" onto the inner corners of my lids as well into the crease and applied URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Woodstock" on the middle of my lids.
4. Last, I applied URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow "Flash" onto the outer corner of my lids and blended the shade up.
5. Once I was done blending, I applied URBAN DECAY Eyeliner "A Sphyxia" onto the top of my lash line for a more defined look and finished off with my TARTE Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara for my lashes.
6. After my lashes were dry, I curled them with REVLON Lash Curler.

Lips:
◊ ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil
◊ YSL Rouge Volupte Shine "#8 Pink in Confidence"

1. First, I applied my ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil around my lips to keep my lipstick from moving.
2. To complete off my whole FOTD, I applied the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine "#8 Pink in Confidence" onto my lips.

So that is everything that I used and did for this whole look. I really hope that you guys enjoyed it! Please let me know if you would like to see more looks like this or mainly neutral, everyday looks. You will probably be seeing the latter more though, to be honest. Haha! If you have any questions about any of these products, don't hesitate to anything. As always, thank you for reading my posts!

QUESTIONS:
Have you ever used any of these products before?
What do you think of my pink and purple eye look?

Everything Drugstore Look

Hey everyone! I thought that it was finally time to do a whole look on my blog. I know that its been a while since I posted up an eye look. I wish that I could do an eye look post everyday but sometimes my eye looks tend to be repetitive. I think doing a whole FOTD (face of the day) using all drugstore products is a great post to do, especially for those who don't have the budget to spend money on a bunch of high-end products. I feel like there are so many drugstore products out there that can be comparable to high-end products, so I thought it was finally time to do a "Spring Look" using ALL drugstore products. This is a face look that I did a while back and I hope you guys like it.  Let me know what you guys think?

FACE PRODUCTS USED:

• PONDS Dry Skin Cream
• MAYBELLINE Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer "Buff"
• L'OREAL True Match Lumi Foundation "W4 Warm"
• ALMAY Clear Complexion Foundation "600 Sand"
• REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "010 Fair"
• PHYSICIANS FORMULA HealthyWear Bronzer "Tan"
• RIMMEL Lasting Finish Powder Blush & Highlighter "006 Autumn Catwalk
• ELF STUDIO Powder Brush
• ECOTOOLS Bronzing Brush
• ELF STUDIO Small Tapered Brush
• ESSENCE OF BEAUTY Powder Brush

Steps To Complete This Whole Face Look:

1. First off, I made sure to apply my PONDS Dry Skin Cream because my face has been getting some dry patches due to the cold weather lately. I also make sure to moisturize my lips with my NIVEA Lip Butter "Raspberry Rose Kiss".
2. I applied MAYBELLINE Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer "Buff" onto my under-eye areas.
3. I mixed both L'OREAL True Match Lumi Foundation "W4 Warm" and my ALMAY Clear Complexion Foundation "600 Sand" together because I have really been loving the results of these two on my skin. Both have given me the perfect coverage and finish when blended together. I just use my ELF STUDIO Powder Brush to stipple the foundations on my face and blend it all together. Stippling the foundation onto the face gives you more coverage.
4. Since I still have some spots that I would like to conceal, I apply my ALMAY Clear Complexions Concealer + Treatment Gel "200 Light/Medium". I just use the concealer side and dot that on the spots that need concealing and blend with my finger.
5. Once I blend the concealer, I apply my current favorite REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "010 Fair" with my ECOTOOLS Bronzing Brush to just set my foundation.
6. I always love contouring my face because I feel like it just accentuates my cheekbones more. Plus it also gives me a more defined look. Recently, I have been just using my PHYSICIANS FORMULA HealthyWear Bronzer "Tan" with my ELF STUDIO Small Tapered Brush. I just apply this bronzer in the contours of my cheekbones as well on the sides of my forehead, chin, and nose.
7. Since Spring is all about looking fresh, I wanted to use my RIMMEL Lasting Finish Powder Blush & Highlighter "006 Autumn Catwalk" since its gives my cheeks the perfect pink glow. I just swirl my brush in all three shades since I love the color that it gives of. Plus I love the highlighter as well, which I also applied onto my cheekbones using the same brush to apply my blush, which is the ESSENCE OF BEAUTY Powder Brush. I don't always use a blush brush to apply blush because I feel like those don't always apply or fit well enough for my cheeks so I need to use brushes that are a bit bigger.

EYE PRODUCTS USED:

• ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark"
• ELF Eyelid Primer "Sheer"
• MAYBELLINE ExpertWear Eyeshadow Quad "30 Seashore Frosts"
• RIMMEL Lash Accelerator Mascara "003 Extreme Black"
• MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express "Black Drama"
• NYC Eyeliner Duet "885 Islands in the Stream"
• ELF Eyeshadow Brush
• ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush
• LONDON SOHO Blending Brush
• REVLON Lash Curler

1. I always make sure to do my brows for every look because I feel like a face isn't complete without defined brows and shadow on the eyes. My favorite brow product is the ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark". I just use the applicator that comes with the compact. I use the angled side of the brush to apply the brow wax first and then use the fluffy shadow side to apply the brow powder to set the wax.
2. After doing my brows, I applied ELF Eyelid Primer "Sheer" onto the lids of my eyes to prime them for shadow. I love this because it comes with an brush applicator in the cap so it makes it super easy to apply primer onto the lids.
3. Since I want to go for a Spring look, I decided to use my MAYBELLINE ExpertWear Eyeshadow  Quad "30 Seashore Frosts". This quad comes with a bluish-purple, purple, light cream purple, and an emerald green--all shades perfect for describing Spring.
4. Using my ELF Eyeshadow Brush, I applied the shade meant for the lid onto my lid. Its not really that pigmented so I had to tap the bluish-purple shade all over my lid.
5. Using my ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush, I applied the shade labeled "crease" onto my crease area. I applied the purple shade lightly because I didn't want it too intense.
6. Next, I used the same brush that I used to blend my crease to apply the emerald green shade onto the outer corner of my lids. I also used to same ELF Eyeshadow Brush to apply the emerald shade on my bottom lash line as well.
7. After blending everything out, I used my LONDON SOHO Blending Brush too apply the shade labeled "brow bone" as my highlight.
8. Next, I curled my lashes with my REVLON Lash Curler to get my lashes ready for mascara.
9. Using my RIMMEL Lash Accelerator Mascara "003 Extreme Black", I applied mascara onto my lashes and the MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volum' Express "Black Drama" onto my lower lashes.
10. After my top lashes were dry, I curled them again with my REVLON Lash Curler.
11. I also lined my waterline with NYC Eyeliner Duet "885 Islands in the Stream". Since this eyeliner comes with two shades, I only used the emerald green side.

LIP PRODUCTS USED:

• NIVEA Lip Butter "Raspberry Rose Kiss"
• REVLON Lip Butter "Strawberry Shortcake"

1. Since I did my eyes pretty colorful, I didn't want my lips to be too bold so I picked out a light pink shade. I always moisturize my lips before applying lipstick so I used a small amount of NIVEA Lip Butter "Raspberry Rose Kiss" onto my lips.
2. I used REVLON Lip Butter "Strawberry Shortcake".

So those are all the products that I used to complete this whole look! I hope that you guys ended up liking it! Also please tell me if you would like to see more posts like this. Keep in mind that I probably won't be doing these everyday since it is a lot of work but I will try them every once in a while. If you have any questions on any of these products, let me know below and I will try my best to answer them.

Natural EOTD

Hey everyone! Whoa, another type of post that I haven't done in years! Its been such a long time since I posted up an EOTD post. I actually kind of miss doing them because its fun to take pictures but just always a hassle of having to crop them. Plus my camera isn't that great at capturing colors unless the picture is taken in direct sunlight and its been cloudy lately. So when the sun was coming out, I knew that it was my chance to start doing EOTD posts again. Plus I had some extra free time so I thought, "Why not?" For this EOTD, I went sort of natural and decided not to wear false lashes. Plus I was trying out my new Tarte mascara and I wanted to test it out and see if it clumped or had fallout throughout the day.

Products Used:
◊ LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer (not pictured)
◊ URBAN DECAY "Virgin"
◊ URBAN DECAY "Sin"
◊ URBAN DECAY "Sidecar"
◊ URBAN DECAY "Naked"
◊ URBAN DECAY "Smog"
◊ MAYBELLINE "Linen"
◊ ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark"
◊ TARTE Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara
◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum "Deep Brown"
◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio "Brown"
◊ ULTA Kohl Eye Liner "Halo"
◊ COASTAL SCENTS 250 Brush
◊ ECOTOOLS Small Blending Brush
◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Domed Shadow Brush
◊ REVLON Eye Lash Curler

Whoa! I didn't know that I had used that many products! Now thats a lot and its just for a pair of eyes. Haha! Either way, I have been wearing this eye look for a couple of days now because I really love how natural and neutral it looks. Plus its super easy to do. I just wish that my camera had captured the colors more better on my eyes because I hate how it looks like I just used one shade all over my eyes instead of six shadows blended together. LOL Definitely let me know if you have been wearing similar shades or if you have been using your URBAN DECAY Naked palette constantly.

QUESTIONS:
How do you feel about my EOTD?
Have you been wearing similar eye look as well?

Natural Eye Look (Great For Monolids)

Hey everyone! Here is another eye look by me. Its pretty simple and great for those who are running short on time and/or have monolids. I don't know if you can tell in my pictures but I have monolids. I didn't really do much but I think this is a great look for beginners as well. Its simple and all the eyeshadows that I used are "drugstore" brand. The only thing that wasn't drugstore were the false lashes that I used but you can easily substitute then any other brand. I know that in some pictures it might look like I have an fold but its actually the false lashes that I am wearing thats giving my lids the illusion. I don't know why but everytime I wear false lashes, its creates a fold in my lids.

What I used:

• ELF Essential Beauty School Beauty Book in Natural
• Maybelline ExpertWear Single Shadow in 15S Linen
• Milani Liquif'Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil in 01 Black
• Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in 061 Jet Black
• Model 21 Lashes in #8
• ELF Studio Eye Brow Kit in Dark

So that is all those are all the products that I used for my eyelook. Pretty much everything but the lashes are drugstore. All the ELF products can be found at select Target stores. The ELF Beauty Books for $5USD and the ELF Studio Brow Kit is sold for $3USD plus tax. The Maybelline, Milani, and Rimmel products can be purchased at any drugstore like Target, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, and WalMart stores. I hope you guys liked my natural eye look. If you would like to see a video on how I did this eye look, let me know. I have been debating on whether I should start a YouTube channel but I don't know if anybody would want to watch them. What do you guys think, should I start a beauty channel?

QUESTIONS:
Do you have monolids?
What do you think about this natural eye look?

EOTD: Green With Falsies

Hey everyone! Today, I just had to go to my dentist to get my braces retightened. Yes I wear braces and I can't wait for the day where they will finally come off! If you want to know more about my braces, just let me know! I was going to get my braces taken off last month but I wanted my teeth to be more straighter so I am going to be wearing them a little bit longer. I don't know if that was dumb or smart. LOL Since I was going to my dentist today, I didn't want to go all out with my eye makeup so I just went simple. I would have taken a picture of my overall face and post it as a FOTD but I didn't do anything special with my lips or anything since it is the dentist (let's face it, if you wear lipstick to the dentist, it is just going to get all messed up).

I went a little out of my comfort zone and decided to wear green today. I barely wear any colors on my eyes besides neutral, brown shades. Yes my eyes are usuall boring. LOL Today I decided to wear green on my lids. I didn't go all crazy or creative but it was still a step up. Maybe I will try something more creative sometime in the future but I have to admit, its a little bit hard for me since I have monolids. If I end up going to far or wearing too much eyeshadows, I tend to feel like I am going for the prositute look (which I am not saying is a bad thing, if its your thing, but its just not for me LOL).

What I am wearing:

• ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit in Dark (for my eyebrows)
• Maybelline EyeStudio in 05 Flash of Forest (the middle cream green shade as an eyeshadow base)
• Urban Decay Mildew (just lightly pat over the cream shadow)
• Model 21 False Lashes in #4
• Almay Intense i-Color Light Interplay Mascara in 032 Black Steel (to darken up the false lashes)
• NYC Eyeliner in Black (to line my waterline)

So that is all I am wearing on my eyes. I know it isn't the best EOTD but keep in mind that I am just starting out with doing EOTD posts. I wasn't trying to go all out on my eyes since I wanted everything to be simple. If you have any questions about any of the products that I used or would like to see reviews/swatches on a certain product, featured here, let me know!

First EOTD With WnW Vanity

Hey everyone! This is my first ever EOTD post! Sorry if the colors don't show up as well. I will know that the next time I do an EOTD post, I will definitely need to pack on more color. In person, the color definitely shows but I guess my camera decided to tone down the colors. Okay so onto the eye look. Today I decided to go neutral and basic with my shades. I have been wearing this look a lot lately and finally wanted to do a post on it. Plus I love how all the products that I used are available at drugstores and inexpensive products. All the products that I used can be found at CVS, Walgreens, and RiteAid. For this eye look, I decided to use the WnW 6 Pan Palette 249 Vanity. I really like this palette. All the shades are pigmented and soft to the touch. Plus it is a great neutral and inexpensive palette. I already numbered each of the shades on the palette in order of the way that I used them since the individual shades don't have names.

1. For my all over lid color, I used #1. I applied it all over my lid up to the crease using an eye shadow brush.
2. In my crease, I used the #2 shade and just blended it all over my crease using the other side of the eye shadow brush that I used to apply my lid color.
3. For the outer corner of my lid, I used two shades and blended them together. I used both #3 and #4 shades. I only dipped my crease brush a little because the colors are very pigmented.
4. For my highlight color and brow bone, I used #5 with a blending brush.

For my lashes, I wore false lashes. The lashes that I used are from Model21 lashes. I also used two mascaras. I first applied the Almay Intense i-Color Mascara in Black. This mascara gives my lashes volume but it doesn’t lengthen my lashes at all. To give my lashes an extra boost of length, I used my favorite lengthener mascara, which is the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara in Extreme Black. This mascara gives my lashes the perfect length and holds a curl throughout the day, which my short and straight Asian lashes need. I also applied ELF Cream Liner in Black onto my upper lash line, which I forgot to take a picture of. Sorry! So that is all for my EOTD post. Remember this is my first EOTD post so please be gentle. I will try to do better next time.
