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!

◊ 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.

FACE PRODUCTS USED:
◊ TARTE Amazonian Clay Foundation "Light"
◊ KAT VON D Concealer "Light"
◊ REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair"
◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA Healthy Wear Bronzer "Tan"
◊ TARTE Amazonian Clay 12HR Blush "Fantastic"
◊ HARD CANDY Baked Blush "Living Doll"
◊ PHILOSOPHY 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:

◊ LORAC Eyeshadow "Nude"
◊ LORAC Eyeshadow "Pewter"

◊ REVLON Lash Curler

LIP PRODUCTS USED:
◊ ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil
◊ WET N WILD MegaShield Lip Color SPF15 "It's A Girl"
◊ NARS Lip Gloss "Super Orgasm"

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: Soft Pinks & Purples



Hey everyone! If you didn't know already, I recently created a eye look using bold pinks and purple shades. If you haven't seen that face of the day, you can CLICK HERE. I know that that eye look was a bit bold and not everyone likes to wear bold eye looks, whether its because they don't feel comfortable or because its not suitable for their workplace so I decided to come up with a softer version of that eye look!! I think that this eye look is great for every occasion and great for everyday. Plus it incorporates both pinks and purples for those who love those two colors!


FACE PRODUCTS USED:
◊ MAYBELLINE Dream Mousse Concealer "Light"
◊ ALMAY Clear Complexion Foundation "600 Sand"
◊ L'OREAL True Match Lumi Foundation "Warm W4"
◊ MAYBELLINE Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer "Buff"
◊ ALMAY Clear Complexion Concealer + Treatment Gel "200 Light/Medium"
◊ REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair"
◊ PHYSICIANS FORMULA Healthy Wear Bronzer "Tan"
◊ TARTE Amazonian Clay 12HR Blush "Fantastic"
◊ RIMMEL Lasting Finish Blush + Highlighter "006 Autumn Catwalk"
◊ PHILOSOPHY Shimmering Face Powder "Amazing Grace"
◊ ELF STUDIO Powder Brush
◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Powder Brush
◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Contour Brush
◊ REAL TECHNIQUES Pointed Foundation Brush

Steps to recreate this look:
  1. For my under-eye areas. I applied MAYBELLINE Dream Mousse Concealer "Light" to give my eyes that brighten eye look.
  2. After I blended the concealer in, I applied my ALMAY Clear Complexion Foundation "600 Sand" with my L'OREAL True Match Lumi Foundation "Warm W4" with my ELF STUDIO Powder brush. I love how both these two foundations look together on my face!
  3. Because I wanted my eyes to be more highlighted, I applied my MAYBELLINE Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer "Buff" on my under-eye area and blended with my fingers.
  4. After blending everything in, I applied my REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "Fair" with my REAL TECHNIQUES Powder Brush to set my foundation.
  5. Since no look is complete without bronzer, I applied my PHYSICIANS FORMULA Healthy Wear Bronzer "Tan" with my REAL TECHNIQUES Contour Brush on the sides of my forehead, nose, and chin. I also contoured on my cheekbones as well.
  6. Because this is a Spring look, I used my TARTE Amazonian Clay 12HR Blush "Fantastic". Since its a matte blush and I wanted a shimmery finish, I topped off Fantastic with RIMMEL Lasting Finish Blush + Highlighter "006 Autumn Catwalk" for a glowy pink glow.
  7. I also applied PHILOSOPHY Shimmering Face Powder "Amazing Grace" on the top of my cheekbones as a highlight using my REAL TECHNIQUES Pointed Foundation Brush.
To see how I did my eyes, stay tuned! I am going to show my eyes on a different post because I didn't want this one to be too long. I am going to show you guys what I am wearing on my lips! 


LIPS PRODUCTS USED:
◊ ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil
◊ ELF STUDIO Matte Lip Color "Coral"
◊ TARTE Lip Gloss "Mel"

Steps to recreate the lip look:
  1. First, I lined my lips with my ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil.
  2. Then I applied ELF STUDIO Matte Lip Color "Coral" onto my lips.
  3. Since I wanted a more glossy feel wit some shine, I decided to use TARTE lip gloss "Mel" on top.
So those are all the products that I used! I am glad that I got to create a face look that people can recreate and wear everyday. Plus its a great look that anybody can wear to work or to a party. If you would like to see a review on any of the products that I featured in this post, please let me know.

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.

Do you like using Maybelline shadows?
How do you feel about my everything drugstore look?

FOTD For Tết



Hey everyone! I just wanted to show you guys my FOTD for Tết, this Sunday! Sorry if I am a few days on posting this but I wasn't sure if I was going to post up the pictures because I look so white in them. LOL I guess thats my fault for taking pictures directly in front of my window with the sun shining on my face. I really need to find a better way to take pictures without looking somewhat ghostly. Either I need to save up money to buy a better camera or just find some what to deal with the lighting in my room. What do you guys think?

Since it was Tết, I didn't want to go all out on my makeup because I was going to be seeing a lot of my relatives in one day so I wanted to go for a natural look. I wish that the colors showed up more better instead of getting washed out so I am sorry for that. Like for instance, my lips are more of a red but in the pictures, they look more like a fuchsia shade.

What I am wearing on my face:
  • PONDS Dry Skin Cream
  • SMASHBOX Photo Finish Foundation Primer
  • REVLON ColorStay Whipped Creme Makeup "250 Medium Beige"
  • ELF STUDIO Concealer Pencil "Light"
  • REVLON Nearly Naked Pressed Powder "010 Fair"
  • PHYSICIANS FORMULA Healthy Wear Bronzer "Tan"
  • MAC Powder Blush "Peony Petal"
  • STILA Illuminating Finishing Powder "Rose Gold"
  • ELF STUDIO Eyebrow Kit "Dark"
  • LORAC Behing The Scene Eye Shadow Primer
  • URBAN DECAY Naked Palette
  • TARTE Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara
  • MAYBELLINE The Falsies Volume Express Mascara "Black Drama"
  • ULTA Kohl Eye Liner "Halo"
  • PHYSICIANS FORMULA Shimmer Strips Eyeliner "Brown"
  • ELF STUDIO Lip Lock Pencil
  • TARTE LipSurgence Natural Lip Tint "Swank"
  • TARTE Lip Gloss "Nuria"
I don't really have dry skin but I just love the feel of the Ponds Dry Skin Cream on my face as a morning moisturizer. Plus it doesn't irritate or break my skin out, which is always a plus in my book. Overall, I am happy with my FOTD and glad that my face makeup stayed all day but then again, I never had a problem with my makeup fading throughout the day anyways. If you guys have a question on any of the products that I used for this FOTD, definitely let me know. Plus keep in mind, that some of the products featured are products that I already have a review on, so please check those first.

QUESTIONS:
Did you celebrate Tết this Sunday?
Do you ever have problems with your camera and/or lighting?
