Thanksgiving Day Makeup

Hello hello!

I hope that you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving if you are in the US! Mine was ....well lets just say it went from uneventful and stressful to a party! I was up way too early and did my makeup at 10am, when I knew I had nothing to do until 4pm. I am so grateful that my face lasted long enough without looking like a dang mess!

I'm slowly trying to get back into the groove of things really. I do have a list of posts to get out, especially I have a few set up for January so yay! I'm pretty excited for 2016!

I thought that this was a nice look for Thanksgiving it wasn't too out there and it combined my love of neutrals with my love of color. You can't go wrong there! Also, I must mention, the lip gloss that I wore in the post, I ACTUALLY wore out. So yeah, we are slowly getting somewhere with me wearing lip colors! *high five* Heck, I might even wear a red out for my birthday ! :O

-Autumn

A couple eye looks!

Hello and welcome to today's unconventional post!

Every time I do my makeup, I try to get a few pictures of it, so I can use it for a blog post, most times I fail greatly at getting pictures that can be used. However, I did manage to get a couple of decent pictures to show you all the makeup that I've worn! I try to make it a goal to wear makeup to work but sometimes, I'm either way too tired or I just don't feel like taking the time to apply it.

For the above looked I used;;

Wet n Wild Flirting At The After Party

Sugarpill - 2AM

Milani Extreme Eye Tech Liner

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner - Demolition

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Mascara

I used the two darkest shadows as well as 2AM in the crease. I also used the lavender shadow (3rd shadow on the left) all over the lid

This is the makeup that I wore on mothers day. I wish I could have photographed this better because I quite like how it turned out.

What I used;
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Whip Hand Cosmetics Pure Pigment - Rocket (crease)
Sugarpill Cosmetics - Asylum (lid)
Cara Pigment - Dakota Glimmer (inner corner)**
Milani Extreme Eye Tech Liner
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner - Perversion
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Mascara
Essence All Eyes On Me Mascara
Senna Cosmetics Brow X

I feel like I have angry-brows. I really need to get them shaped because they're bothering the heck out of me. That shall be my goal for the next week or something. To get my caterpillars done! Woo! I'm going to try harder to get decent pictures of my makeup though! Instead of sitting and trying to use flash or just the one light. :P I'm such a lazy bones. But alas I hope yo all are doing well! 

Oh! I ended up having to return the Stila and Essence mascaras unfortunately. They both burn my eyes really bad, so instead of trying to suffer and itch my eyes, I just took them back. Plus, I wasn't greatly impressed by either mascara, especially that Stila one, it was full o fail.

Purchased Myself/Press Sample

Hello everyone!

I am so sorry that I've practically disappeared! D: I went from working 8 hours a week to between 26-36 hours a week! It's been pretty hectic and I never intended to let my blog pretty much lay dormant for almost two weeks! I do have some guest posts coming! I'm just waiting on the emails and I do have a couple of posts scheduled myself! I can't even describe how good it feels to be typing a post again! Anyways, anways back too the post at hand!

I hope everyone has an amazing Easter! If you don't celebrate Easter, then I hope you have just as an amazing day as well!

I have to work tonight and decided to do a full face of makeup! :O I typically only wear eyeshadow and maybe liner. bahha. I had this whole grand look planned out and everything, it's all I thought about this morning... then I realized the gorgeous pink Sugarpill eye shadow I THOUGHT I had, wasn't real. I do have a pink shadow but I thought I had Dollipop.. I don't know why I thought I had it, but I did. Alas. I made due though! I still love how my eyes turned out so woohoo!

And just because here is the picture that I posted on Instagram from my phone! I LOVE how my eye looks in this! *swoons*

This was pre-doing my hair and no glasses. I really love the pink and purple together!

As per usual there is nothing on my lips, it's going to be lip balm for me, like normal, especially at work it's one less thing to worry about! I'm also sure that you noticed my liner wasn't totally straight etc and both eyes are different. Yes girls and boys, if you have tried winged liner you know it's a complete B to do! I've been using liquid liner to do them as of late but have been trying this gel liner out. All I can say is ay dios mio! I still love how it turned out though!

Are you doing anything special on your eyes or nails?!

The Beauty Buffs - Royal Blue

Bought Myself/Gift/Nothing To Disclose

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Beauty Buffs!! .. Okay, why I called it an episode I have no idea, I thought it was funny. *bah dum tss*

This weeks theme is Royal Blue and I figured that since the last TBB post I did nail polish, I thought I would do makeup this week! SO, I had gone out in search of a nice royal blue eye shadow and found the Maybelline Expert Wear quad in Electric Blue. I guess, it is new? I don't know, I've never seen them before and it was $2 off I think so I decided I would get it. I'm going too tell you now, don't waste your time, It's not that great. The pigmentation is lacking. WELL, low and behold AFTER I bought it, I remembered I had Sugarpill's Heartbreaker palette in it, which has Velocity. A gorgeous matte royal blue. BAM, have my eyeshadow. *dances*

I decided too use the blue in the Maybelline quad as well as Velocity, and I used a mixture of colors from the Crown Cosmetics Smokey Eye Palette. 

The three shadows with the arrows pointing too the are the ones I used. I didn't use them in any particular order, except tap my brush into each a couple of times.  I added that into the crease and blended out. BUT wait! There's more. I also used Sugarpill Velocity in the crease. I used it as the original outline of the crease then I blended a bit on the top of the crease to give it a little something extra,. 

On the lid I applied lightly the Royal Blue from the Maybelline Electric Blues palette. I should have added some of Velocity on top, but what is done is done.

On the lower lashline I mixed the royal blue and the black shadow and smudged it across.

You are probably asking yourself WHY so many pictures and WHY pictures of both eyes. WELL my dears, I did both eyes different. On my left eye I didn't wing the liner and I didn't bring the shadow up as high as I did on the other eye. You can't tell particularly but the liner on my right eye *below* is winged out and I brought the shadows higher up towards the brow bone. 

Products Used:

Sugarpill - Velocity

Maybelline - Electric Blue Palette (black and blue)

Crown Cosmetics - Smokey Eye Palette (colors shown above)

Urban Decay - Zephyr (innter corner)

Milani Extreme Eye Tech Eyeliner

Urban Decay Primer Potion

MiA BelleZZA Creme Liner in Brown - Waterline & Tightline

Ellis Faas Mascara

I really love how this came out! I've been itching too show everyone the look since I completed it a couple of nights ago! 

Here's the finished look with the whole face! ... I don't know why I said it that way but I did. A lot of people say don't wear blue on blue, brown on brown or green on green. I say, do what you want, it is your makeup and it's YOUR face. Makeup is an expression of art, don't let others dull your shine!

The purpose of this is too give you some more blue options. I understand the 3/4 makeup choice are high end, but you try too find GOOD affordable royal blue shadows. :P I got lucky I found the Maybelline one, and the palette itself isn't that great, 

Essie nail polish / Seche nail care, $16 / Maybelline eye makeup / NARS Cosmetics matte eye makeup, $30 / Eyeshadow, $26 / Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics matte makeup

Birthday Makeup & Nails! :D

Purchased Myself/PR Sample/Gifts

Hey everyone!
I hope you all are doing well! Happy Birthday to me! :D :D

Today has started out wonderfully! :D Last night (12/18) Chris surprised me with a Canon Rebel EOS T3i so my pictures are going to greatly improve when I can figure out HOW to use it and what lens I need to take good nail and eye shots. So woohoo! There are going to be some new pictures in this post. They aren't well, I should have taken them outside but I took them quickly. Enough excuses!

Nails;;

Cult Nails Miss Conduct* (all nails)
China Glaze Water You Waiting For (all nails but accent)
China Glaze Glitter Goblin (accent nail)
Nail Veil * (there were 3 stones in it but I had to take it off last night and I took 2 of the stones out. I totally couldn't get this one out though. LOL it's all good though. I still like it!)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat**

I bought a pair of imPRESS nails at CVS that were on clearance and painted over them (I tend to do that honestly) that's why my nails actually look uniform. 

EYES
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Urban Decay;
Busted (crease)
Verve (Inner half of lid/Inner corner)
Half Baked (center of lid)
Rimmel MAX VolumeFlash Mascara

FACE:
TEMPTU AirPod Foundation - Sand
ELF Golden Bronzer
MUA Blusher - Shade 3
Senna Cosmetics Brow Fix X - Golden Brown X

I used the Revlon LipStain+Balm in Fiery, but this balm is a total fail for me. It's shows that it is going to be a lovely red, but it's in fact ORANGE. My lips are too pigmented for it apparently because it didn't show up AT ALL, nor did it give my lips any kind of tint. I just have on a lip balm.

So that is my makeup look and my nails for my Birthday! :D I know it's nothing exciting, but I'm happy with it! I have some pictures from when Chris and I went out to dinner. Yes, I took my camera. I've been wanting to get pictures of the food at this place for years and just never take my camera with me. Anypiddle. If you want to see that plus a review of the restaurant (if you're in the Area) let me know :)


Best wishes! xoxo

The @#$%! Blackout!

Hey everyone!

I hope you are doing well! I caught another cold, so I'm just like eeeeeh :P. A runny nose is NOT attractive.

There really was no rhyme or reason to this eye look, I like doing red/black eyeshadow looks a lot actually, more than I let on. They're funky and fun. I used a butt load of products (more than normal I guess) to achieve the entire face look. (lol)

Now don't go saying "Autumn, it's not blended correctly!" Well, ms or mr thang. That was the point. I didn't want the inner corner fully blended because of that little webbing type dealio. Normally I do blend it straight into that, but not this time. I wasn't wanting to blend it that far this time. Judge if you must.

EYES:

Urban Decay Primer Potion Original

Sugarpill @#$%! 

Urban Decay Naked 2 Blackout

Nars Eye Paint Interstellar

Mica Beauty Black liner

L'Oreal Power Volume 24H Black Smoke Mascara

Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion 

Yes, I did like a double liner type this which you can see in the bottom picture anyways, or really see at all. It was a neat idea at first but now I'm just like... -_- le sigh! :P

Dun dun dunnn! Yes I have new glasses. They wound up bigger than I originally anticipated but I like them. :) 

FACE:

Temptu Pro S/B Concealer Wheel 4th darkest

OCC Lip Tar Anita

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer Medium 3

Rimmel Stay Matte 011 Creamy Natural

Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder

The Concealers were used around my lips to help keep the Lip Tar from feathering because I don't have any lip liners just yet. I'm JUST getting into lip colors, so I've not got what I need just yet.I think it was a successful look :)
