Cranberry Smoke

I had no idea what to call this post. I asked Chris and he said "Hazel me blue"...men..especially him lol.. Silly silly.

This is a look I did the other night just out of the blue, I was going to work on some Halloween makeup looks until I realized I barely had any makeup remover, so it resulted in just ONE look for now. I know tomorrow is Halloween and I'm going to try and work on something awesome! I just hope that it works out! I need to see if I have the costume for it. >D Anyways, so this is the look I came up with! Thank you too Tricia for helping me think of a name! I was hung up on something else, but it didn't fit and Chris' definitely didn't fit at all! :P

Neutral Eye Look with Silver Winged Liner

Purchased Myself / Press Sample

Hola! I hope you all are having an awesome morning! Or day...depending where you are of course! It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? :P 

I'm going to warn you right now, I have an obscene amount of pictures for this post. 

*jumping high five* I found the notebook that had all of the products that I used written in it! I managed to NOT lose it this time! :D

This is one way to add a little something extra to your normal regular work makeup, without making it inappropriate for work. You always need that little pop of something to make something so mundane, fun. 

As always, my base for this look was Urban Decay Primer Potion 

Shadows used:
Urban Decay;;
   Blackout (crease)
   Creep (crease)
   Naked (crease & eye brows)
   Buck (crease & eye brows)

Whip Hand Cosmetics
    Rocket (entire lid)
Liner(s);
NARS Eye Paint - Interstellar (silver)

Sugarpill Tiara (to set Interstellar)Cattiva Black eyeliner (waterline)

Mascara;;
L'Oreal - Miss Manga (original)

               Miss Manga (waterproof)

              Collagen Black (waterproof)

Rimmel Stay Matte 011 Natural

I used quite a bit of products on my eyes, but honestly I really loved the look! I absolutely love wearing Rocket by Whip Hand Cosmetics! It's such a unique color! 

Here's a full face shot, so you can see it in its entirety. 

You KNOW I had to add pictures of Anya too this post, just because it was kind of funny. I didn't realize she was in the back..and then she started judging me. Judging cat is very judging...I love her though, she is to cute!

The Whip Hand Cosmetics eye shadow in Rocket and the Nars eye paint in Interstellar were provided for PR purposes. Everything else was purchased by me with my own money.

Neutral FOTD

Hey everyone.

I've totally dropped the ball on a lot of things in the past three months, especially blogging. It has been taking me 10x as long to get a blog post up as it normally does. I've not only dropped the ball on blogging, but just lief in general. The only reason I am sharing this is because I want to be as real as possible to you all. I've got nothing to hide nor would I try and hide anything. Things have just not been going well with me and it's been one thing after another. This month especially has not been going well and I more than likely just have to cancel everything that I was planning on doing, which is not going over well for me. Why is it not going well? It's something I've been looking forward too for a year. It's insane and honestly it's extremely depressing for me. Okay enough about my woes and sorrows. To kind of lighten the mood, I put on a movie I've never seen and I'm slightly creeped out because the woman just sensually touched a piece of chocolate. Weird much!? The movie is Requiem For A Dream. Never seen it but Jared Leto is a hottie. :P

Lets get all into it and talk about this FOTD!

This look was pretty simple to put together.

EYES:

Urban Decay Naked Palette ;

Buck (crease)

Half Baked (lid)

Virgin (inner corner)

L'Oreal 24/hr Power Volume Black Smoke Mascara (top&bottom lashes)

CoverGirl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara (top lashes)

FACE:

Yes, omg I actually did put a foundation on! :O Gasps all around. It was a really simple thing that I slapped on it a couple of minutes! 

I hope that you all are doing well!! xx

Makeup Of The Day 8/18

Purchased Myself | PR Sample

Hey everyone! 

I hope you all are doing well! :D

Today I have a Makeup Of The Day for you! Woohoo!

I did this the other day, out of sheer boredom honestly. There was no particular reason that I did this, to reason for the choice of colors. I just grabbed a palette and grabbed a crease color and called it a day LOL.

SO! Without further adieu!

So, I'm just going to throw it out right here. Yes, my eye brows look like crap. I understand I need to get them done and I PLAN on getting them done. I've seen some people on twitter biatching/complaining about people who post pictures without doing their brows. I've done my  brows 3 times in my life. I always plus them to keep them looking decent, but never really bother with the front because they do their own thang. So honestly, if you have something nasty to say about my brows, it's my face not yours. Snip snap paddy whack go eat a bone. =^_^=

Mmmmkay back to brighter topics.

I've not used color in a while and I actually really missed it! 

EYES:

Milani Eyeshadow Primer

Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette - 2AM, Acidberry, Mochi. (lid/bottom lashline/inner corner)

L'Oreal 24/hr Infallible 998 Sultry Smoke (outer corner/crease)

LIPS:

*Ageless Derma Satin Lipgloss - Cranberry

FACE:

Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder

Maybelline Shine Free Pressed Powder - 002 Soft Cameo

I am bloody in love with this look! I hated having to take it off at the end of the day! *sniffles*

I posted this look on Instagram the day I did it and I wanted to share it on my blog because I 1) actually had pictures for it and 2) it was too amazeballs (in my opinion) to not share!

I'm thinking of trying to do tutorials on the blog, but every time I remember that I wanted to do it my eyes are already done, super lame right? 

Disclaimer: The Ageless Derma Satin Lipgloss in Cranberry was sent to me for review. Everything else in this post I purchased myself with my own money. 

Top 5 Drugstore Favorites

Nothing to disclose

Heyo!

I hope that you are all doing well! xx

I know it's been a while since I have done a favorites post. Nancy-Lee (fashionCHICsta) invited me to join her 5 drugstore favorites blog hop. I've never done one before so I typically avoided them, but hey there is a first time for everything! I am partnering with

So make sure you check out their posts, too!

I tried to pick a variety or products that I know are my favorites. Let's just shimmy around and see what they are! Oh! They're in no particular order either.

L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier B.B. Cream

Hello everyone! 

For you today I have a pretty exciting review for you! Well, it is exciting for me at least!

Before I even get into my review I do want to state that I received this from SheSpeaks and L'Oreal for my honest and unbiased review. I will talk about that more at the end but let's get into the review. 

This is the first B.B. Cream that I have tried, so I honestly can not compare this to any other type of B.B. Cream. There is a huge difference between Asian and Western B.B. Creams. From what I have heard a huge majority of the Western ones are pretty much just glorified tinted moisturizers. 

The Magic Skin Beautifier B.B Cream (long enough name? lol) Claims to prime, perfect hydrate and conceal. This does claim to give you more beautiful skin.. OVER TIME. Don't go rushing out to purchase it because you want beautiful skin. Just like pretty much everything else, it takes time my loves. 

The color that I received was 812 Light and boy am I glad of that. It matches my skin pretty well, which makes me a happy camper. When you first squeeze the product out it is white-ish grey with kind of brown beads in it. It is a very liquidy product, but once you start to rub it into your skin, it changes to a skin tone color. You can wear this alone or under your foundation.

The picture above is me with nothing on my face at all, except for a moisturizer. 

Honestly, I was a little afraid to try this. When this product first came out, I tried the tester which was in Medium and I knew it was WAY too dark for me. So, I am really glad that I got the color light. I was more afraid of the color than anything really because you can't test these in store.

In the picture below on the left I didn't apply it and on the right I applied it. Just to show the coverage that you get. 

This is what my skin looks like after the product is fully applied. 

It was a bit weird at first to apply, but only because of the little beads in it. However the gritty feeling goes away once you start to rub it in. The coverage was a lot better than I expected honestly. I have a few things that it didn't cover, but it's not a foundation, it's not designed to cover everything. I also found that it made my pores look smaller and less noticeable! That for me is an extremely good thing. You can tell that it did not cover all of my redness but it covered almost all of it except for my chin, which is okay. I typically have to use concealer on it anyways. 

I wore this for about 5 hours the first time and I could notice the oil starting to break through. I didn't use a primer under it so that could be a factor, but for me having something on for 5 hours with no primer is a pretty big thing. Especially with my nose and tops of my cheeks, those get oily really bad. So the fact that it works really well with my oily skin is fantastic! 

I've not tried wearing this under a foundation just of yet. I've been letting my skin breathe because it currently hates me. -_- Bahaha. 

I really do love this product! I think it is absolutely fantastic and I commend L'Oreal for creating another amazing product. Does it do what it claims? Well, it does prime and correct aspects of the skin. With the perfecting, I feel that it does especially well since it is only a B.B Cream. Not a full cover foundation. I did feel the hydrating aspect of it as well. A girl needs hydration, even us oily skinned girls. I'm going to keep using this and maybe over time there could be a change! You never know!!

Have you tried this BB cream? What did you think of it? Have you tried ANY BB creams? Let me know! I could be in the market! :P
