Im back!! With a fall look!

So, I haven't had a working laptop for quite some time. But I' m excited to be back! I have lots of good products to review, and I'm always looking for more to try out. But my first post back is going to be a bronzy/fall look. I hope you all enjoy and start coming back regularly again!

I started off this look with Urban Decay's Primer Potion, all over the lids and up into my brows - I've noticed this helps my brow pencil and powder to stay on better. So I my first shadows were a mix between chopper and half baked from the Naked 2 palette- I packed this mix onto the lid. I then took a mix of busted and tease into the crease and blending slightly up, and then to darken the outer V I took a tiny amount of blackout - also from the Naked 2 palette and worked it carefully in--it can easily get out of hand, so use a light touch! I highlighted with foxy from the Naked 2 palette which is a matte cream color..you don't want ALL shimmer on the eyes at the same time--and most of those previous shadows were shimmer. I filled in my brows with a pencil, then set it with a powder using an angled liner brush for precise application. I took a black liquid liner and lined my upper lash line and took it out and created a nice wing. I finished off the eyes with a curling mascara.

I moved on to the face and used a primer to start out--always use a good base--it will help the rest of your makeup go on really nice and last much longer. So after I applied my primer I would apply my foundation with a stippling brush-buffing it into the skin. Then concealed my blemishes and under my eyes (damn those dark circles!) with my concealor. I lay it down with a brush first, then pat it in to the skin...using your hands will warm up the product more and allow it to blend easier (some days I even skip the brush all together). I set everything with my Mac studio fix foundation and a big fluffy brush. I followed that up with my blush on the apples of the cheeks and a quick bit of lipstick. The following are pictures of the final look and followed by a list of all the products used. Thanks for checking back in and I look forward to continuing this blog!

Pink Paradise!

I've got a new look for you guys again today! I decided to try something fun with a few different shades of pink. I did wear this look to work today- although it might be a bit too bright for some of you out there. But I adore the way it turned out! This look does have a mix of both matte and shimmer..so it has the best of both worlds! I also topped off the look with my new NYC Lipstick which is a beautiful creamy bright pink with just a hint of shimmer! Hope you enjoy!

beautiful sunsets (sneak peak on some stuff I bought as well!)

Ok ladies and gents. I went on a shopping spree and spent an absurd amount of money in the last few days >.< . But, that's like when you're addicted to beauty..lol. So I ended up breaking down and finally ordering some things from urban decay. It will be a rare occasion I'm sure, cause I am BROKE as hell most of the time, AND they were having a massive sale on a lot of their items..so I figured now would be the perfect time to give it a try.  I'm not gonna go into everything that I ordered because I WILL be having a separate post when that stuff arrives..(HELLO HAUL!). But its basically a kit that has some different products I wanted to try (Urban Bride kit--NO, I'm not getting married..just liked the products in it), as well as some cream and matte powder eyeshadows). But more details to come, once it arrives!)

awaiting new stuff--and mini Hard Candy makeup review!

Ok ladies, I haven't updated in a while because I'm still waiting for a lot of my products to get here! I recently discovered a new makeup company called E.L.F.! They supposedly make some pretty amazing products (some comparable to MAC, Urban Decay, and Bare Minerals!). Well I happened to wander onto their site during a day they were having a 50% off sale (only until midnight that night!). So needless to say I did a little splurge! Here's what I ended up getting for 21.95 (including shipping!!!):
