FOTD: Fourth of July Inspired Makeup Look!

Hello guys! So today I am creating a Fourth of July Inspired Makeup Look! I definitely think that this is an extremely fun look, its a bit different then the other looks I see beauty bloggers sporting.... probably because I didn't use the proper red, white, and blue    I just worked with what I had in my collection! I hope you enjoy my creation and keep reading to see how I created it!

For my face, I mixed CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Medium Beige (Review) and L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation in Nude Beige to create a long lasting but glowing skin! To conceal my undereye bags, I used Maybelline Dream Touch Lumi Highlighting Concealer in Radiant underneath my eyes in a triangular shape. For any spot concealing on my face I used the CoverGirl and Olay Concealer Balm in Light. To add some color back to my face, I applied Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Rose on my cheeks. As always, I used the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent to set my face makeup.

For my eyebrows I am using my go to eyebrow product, the Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade in Dark Brown (Review) and to set my eyebrows I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel (Review). I then primed my eyes using the Jordana 12 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil in Continuous Almond (Review). For my eyeshadow look, I first placed Mac Matte Eyeshadow in Saddle into my crease as a transition color and to help make blending a lot easier. I then used Inglot Matte Eyeshadow in 353 (Review) as a highlight on my browbone and on the inner half of the eyes. Then, I applied Elf Essential Eyeshadow in Teal in the middle of my lids. After that, I placed Inglot Pearl Eyeshadow in 428 on my outer third and into the crease. To finish up my eyeshadow look, I placed Inglot AMC Pigment in 30 to my inner third for some extra dimension. To line my upper last line, I used Wet n Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Black and I brightened my waterline using thw Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude. I finished off my eye makeup by applying Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara in Strauss Black, a glittery black mascara, on my lashes.

Prior to putting on my makeup, I prepped my lips using the Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch. Because I will be wearing a red lip, I will be using the Jordana Easy Liner for Lips Retractable Pencil in Sedona Red to ensure the longevity of my lipstick and to help fight against feathering! The lipstick I would be using is Victoria's Secret Color Drama Lipstick in Ignite. I found that the lips were slightly overpowering for the look, so I used NYX Megashine Lipgloss in Beige to help tone it down.

Of course, you need to set your face to make sure that the makeup sliding off! Today I used Urban Decay Deslick Setting Spray to help make my makeup last as long as possible.

I hope you guys enjoyed this makeup look and let me know what you think!

Wonder Girls Like Money Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Hey guys! So today I will showing you how I created this Wonder Girls Like Money Inspired Makeup Look! I created this like two weeks back, but never got around to recording the voice over (pesky things that they are!) If you guys do not know, I am a huge K-Pop fan! As such, it was only a matter of time that I did a K-Pop inspired look! I am quite pleased with the results, its a very dramatic look. I probably wouldn't rock this out much, being the hermit that I am... but this would be a nice look for going out at night! You get a rare glimpse of me wearing false lashes (this is like, the third time I've worn false lashes). Unfortunately, I may have forgotten to place eyeliner where the band of my lashes were to cover it a bit more...but there will always be a next time for me to remember!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Dark Brown - Review

Project 10 Pan (revisited and added new products!)

Hey guys! So today I will be going through another spending ban. Previously, I've gone through a 42 Day Spending Ban and a Project 10 Pan. The 42 Day Spending Ban was successful but the first Project 10 Pan was not. I did hit pan on the majority of products eventually but I did not stick to it. For those of you who don't know, Project 10 Pan is when you choose any 10 products in your collection, and you cannot purchase any makeup products before you hit pan (when you hit can see the bottom of the container and/or when you used the product up completely! This version of Project 10 Pan features mainly the products that I love, but there is of course products I'm not too fond of! Some of these products you may recognize from the previous Project 10 Pan!

I mainly decided to start this spending ban because 1) I can no longer afford to buy more makeup and 2) I have way too much makeup right now, so I'm trying to finish up products. So here I am, trying to finish up these products! Hopefully this will occur before the school semester starts... but I have no idea if that is possible. 

New Project 10 Pan Products (and some old ones of course!)

For this Project 10 Pan, I will be trying to finish up CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Warm Beige and Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation in Buff 6W. The Lancome foundation holds a soft spot for me, this was my first foundation and the foundation I wore to prom! It's a wonderful foundation, provides light to medium coverage and looks fantastic on the skin! As you guys probably know (and are probably sick of me talking about this foundation), CoverGirl Outlast is my go-to foundation during the summer, it has amazing oil controlling properties and provides medium to full coverage! The concealer I will be trying to use up is the Mac Prolongwear Concealer in NW25. This is a cult favorite concealer that is perfect for covering up my undereye circles! I like mixing with my Lancome Foundation because the concealer is a bit too light for me...while the concealer is a bit too dark for me. Mixed together and it gives me a color that is perfect for my skin! When I do finish, I will be purchasing this concealer in NW20 instead of NW25. The blush I will be trying to finish up is the Elf Studio Blush in Pink Passion. I haven't used this blush much lately (mainly because I've gotten so many blushes recently that this has kinda gotten lost in my collection!) It is a bright cool toned pink and has been well loved in the past (as seen by the fact that the packaging is taped up a bit!)

For my eyebrows, I will be trying to finish the Jordana FabuBrow Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe. This isn't my favorite eyebrow product to use, but it does the job as long as you set it with an eyebrow gel. For liquid eyeliner, I will be using up the Jordana FabuLiner Liquid Eye Liner in Black. Again, this isn't my favorite eyeliner product... it isn't a rich black as I would like for a liquid eyeliner. For a pencil eyeliner, I will be trying finishing up the Rimmel ScandalEYES Kohl Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner in Black. I have so many eyeliners, but this is the one I know I can always go back too! It's one of my favorites!

For lips, I will be trying to use up Mac Lustre Lipstick in High Tea, Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in Peony, and Victoria's Secret Color Drama Lipstick in Whisper. Out of these products, I only really like the Revlon lipgloss, I'm kinda neutral about the Mac lipstick and Victoria's Secret lipstick.

What products have you guys used up lately? Have you guys successfully finished Project 10 Pan? Let me know in the comment section below!

Makeup MAYhem Day 27 - Old & New Products in Makeup Rotation Week 3

Hello guys! Today I will be sharing with you the makeup I will be wearing this week. Some of the products you may recognize from last weeks makeup rotation, I did that on purpose so I could continue to test the products out more while updating you on my current thoughts on them! Some of these products featured here are old favorites that I am revisiting, but the majority of them are new! I hope you are having a wonderful day and hope you will liked reading this post!

For my primer, I will be using the Benefit Porefessional Primer. I'm still trying to determine how much it softens my imperfections...and whether or not it helps with oil-control. I do like this primer overall, so but I haven't made a final decision on what I think about it (and whether or not its worth grabbing again). For my foundation, I will be mixing Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation in Buff 6(W) and Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in NW25. I'm nearly out of my Lancome foundation, so I wanted to try to finish it out. I have to mix it with the concealer to make it match my skin more (plus, it provides more coverage). The Mac concealer is too dark for me to use by itself (but by the end of summer, I'm sure it'll be the only thing that matches my skintone with the amount I've been out in the sun). It is a fantastic concealer that you guys need to try out if you haven't already! For any other concealing I need, I will be using the CoverGirl and Olay Concealer Balm in Light. First impressions wise, this is a great concealer... it's very creamy, blendable, and doesn't crease much under my undereye area. For blush, I will be using Inglot AMC Face Blush in #58. I recently picked this up this weekend (along with two more eyeshadows from them), and from swatching it at the counter the formula seems amazing. This is hands down, one of the softest blushes I own (if not the softest blush in my collection!). For bronzer, I will be using the Elf Studio Golden Bronzer in Golden. It used to be one of my go-to bronzers (as seen by the fact that I hit pan on it). It's a great bronzer for all over face bronzing, but it has a bit of shimmer so I don't use it for contour. To set my makeup, I will be using Becca Fine Pressed Powder in Wheat. Like I mentioned in one of my videos, I'm not totally convinced that this is good for oil control. Still, I'm going to be testing this out to make sure that my instincts are right.

For my eyes, I don't have a lot of products I am sticking to...mainly because I plan on filming a lot of tutorials this week (so I gotta mix up the eyeshadows)! For my eyebrows, I am finalizing my opinion on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Dark Brown (first impression video). Needless to say, I think this may be my favorite brow product ever. For eyeliner, I will be using L'Oreal Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner 24 Hr in Blackest Black and Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Perversion. I suspect that the L'Oreal eyeliner has expired... I'm nearly positive the formula's changed and dried out... but I just wanted to make sure before I throw it out. In it's newest condition however, it is an amazing eyeliner! But of course, all things must come to an end and makeup is definitely one of those things. The Urban Decay Eyeliner in Pervesion has changed my mind on their infamous formula. Previously, I have tried Zero and Whiskey and it failed to impress me...the staying power wasn't great and the eyeliner never set. However, Perversion is so much better than the other colors I've tried...it lasts and when it sets, it stays in place! This week, I will also try to see if my Tarte multiplEYE Lash Primer is dried up or not... I've had it for awhile now, It was great when I first got it, it added so much length to my lashes! But, like I said earlier, makeup doesn't last forever! Lastly, I am giving another chance for the BareMinerals Lash Domination Mascara to impress me. Hopefully when the formula dries a bit more, it will work better for my lashes.

For lips, I will be mixing up my lipsticks but sticking to my newest lip liner, Mac Lip Pencil in Subculture! I adore my lip liner in Vino, so I wanted to try out another lip liner from them! I wanted a pinky nude lip liner, and this was recommended to me by one of the ladies at Mac. Definitely excited to try this out!

Makeup MAYhem Day 21 - Drugstore Wishlist Wednesday #2

Hello everyone! Guess what? I just recently hit 100 followers on Bloglovin! (insert quick victory dance). Thank you everyone for following reading and/or my blog... I know I haven't been the most active of bloggers so it means a lot that a lot of you have stuck around! Be sure to check out my international giveaway here, may have added an extra entry since I reached the milestone!

Today in Makeup MAYhem, I will be showing you what products I have been wanting to get from the drugstore. I've been spending a lot recently, and I'm going to cut back for awhile and not spend on makeup (brushes on the other hand, is a different story). In the meantime, I have plenty of products I have been eyeing for awhile, this time it is another Drugstore version (considering how I have almost exhausted my other Drugstore wishlist)! Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

CoverGirl Ready Set Gorgeous
Price: $9
Will I Buy: Potentially
Reason: This foundation is supposed to have oil controlling properties and that sounds really tempting for a girl with oily skin to try out in the summer weather. I've heard mixed reviews on this foundation, some people love it and other don't. As you guys probably know, I completely adore the CoverGirl Outlast 3 in 1 Foundation, so I'm hoping this one may give me the same result! May try this...once I finish a foundation (or return one...who knows!)

L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid to  Powder Foundation
Price: $11
Will I Buy: Potentially
Reason: The more I hear bloggers talk about this foundation, the more I want to get it myself! What got me really intrigued about this product is that it goes liquid to powder, which is very similar to my CG3in1. This foundation has light to medium coverage, which is perfect for the summer time. I may give this a go in hopes that it works well for my oily skin during the summer heat.

L'Oreal True Match Foundation
Price: $9
Will I Buy: Probably
Reason: One of the most raved about foundations online, this foundation is something that is supposed to suit every skintone, and it also provides decent coverage. I'm loving L'Oreal True Match Lumi for mixing, so I can only imagine how wonderful this would be!

Maybelline Dream Wonder Pressed Powder
Price: $7
Will I Buy: Potentially
Reason: I do not currently have a pressed powder that gives me coverage... so I feel like this product would be perfect for me! This, out of everything here, may be the first thing I pick up from my wishlist when my wallet gets back to buying conditions. Hopefully this also has good oil controlling properties... or else it'll be a useless buy!

Maybelline Color Elixirs by Color Sensational
Price: $8
Will I Buy: YES
Reason: Probably a lip product I would not hesitate to pick up, once I have enough coupons! I've tried this lip product from one of my friend's stash, and I love it! It's not sticky and its a pigmented and opaque gloss! The only thing keeping me away from purchasing it is my wallet!

NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Powder Foundation
Price: $10
Will I Buy: Probably
Reason: I do not have a powder foundation that is suited for oily skin. The name of this foundation is intriguing, and if the claim is true, I feel like I would enjoy the foundation a lot. I like my foundations matte, but I do not want a washed out appearance. Once I finish a powder foundation, this will be the first one I reach too.

Physician's Formula Nude Wear Nude Glow Powder
Price: $15
Will I Buy: Possibly
Reason: First of all, lets admire the packaging of this. It is absolutely adorable! Besides that, this seems intriguing... I don't own a pressed powder that causes my skin to be luminous. If I am going to buy, it'll be during the winter months when its safe to look dewy.

Physician's Formula EyeBooster 2 in 1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum
Price: $11
Will I Buy: YES!
Reason: One of my good friends, loves, this eyeliner. She swears by this, saying that it stays all day and doesn't budge one bit! While I do love my Wet n Wild MegaLast Eyeliner, I would like to find an eyeliner with a finer tip. The only liquid liner pen that I have really enjoyed is the one from Stila (due to the fine tip it has). I'll get my hands on this once I'm finished with at least one of my other liquid liner pens.

Revlon Color Burst Matte Lipbalm
Price: $7
Will I Buy: Possibly
Reason: As many of you guys may know, I am a huge fan of the original Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. They are, by far, some of the most long lasting lip products I own! The only thing holding me back from buying this...is the fact that I already have a lot of jumbo lip products, and I'm unsure if I really, truly want more.

Rimmel ScandalEyes ShadowPaints
Price: $5
Will I Buy: Possibly
Reason: Out of the whole bunch of products I have on my wishlist, this is by far something I know for sure I do not have in my collection. While I do have cream eyeshadows, the uniqueness of the application of this cream eyeshadow makes it intriguing. I haven't heard many people talk about this product online, so for that it may be a (somewhat legitimate) reason to pick it up!

What products have you been itching to pick up? Let me know in the comments below!  Be sure to check out my giveaway here (open internationally)!

Makeup MAYhem 19 - New Product(ish) Makeup Rotation Week #2

Hello everyone! So today, I will be doing a second edition of Makeup Rotation. This week's products will mainly be featuring relatively new products from recent hauls on my blog and youtube channel. A lot of these I've used a couple of times, others I haven't used at all! I'm very excited to try these products out (and will hopefully be giving you a thorough review of some of these in the future)! Keep on reading to see what products are being used!

Face: 
To start off, I will be priming my face using Benefit Porefessional Primer. A cult favorite product for many, and out of the four primers that I have tried this is one of my favorites so far. It definitely fills in pores, and I will be able to test out this week how good the oil controlling properties of this is. For foundation, I will be using Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Foundation in Natural Buff that one of my best friends Jenny gave me when she was cleaning out her makeup collection. She adores this foundation, but had to part with it because she made the commitment to switch to only cruelty-free makeup products (something I greatly admire)! For any concealing, I will be using CoverGirl and Olay Concealer Balm in Light. I recently picked this up in Walgreens sometime last week, because it was 50% off (and because I was pretty sure that this is getting discontinued). I've heard many great things about this product from many bloggers, and I can't wait to try this out. To set my makeup, I will be using Becca Fine Pressed Powder in Wheat which my mom got for an extreme discount...$10! Naturally, I will test this out to see how effective it is.

For cheek products, I will be using Benefit Hoola Bronzer, Sleek Blush by Three in Pumpkin, and Benefit Watts Up Highlighter. Hoola is fast becoming one of my holy grail bronzers because well I can contour with it with my skintone! The Sleek Blush by 3 I received in Vanessa's package of our makeup exchange (linky) and to be quite honest... I haven't used it all due to how bright the colors are (which is ironic because I chose the blush because of the brightness of the colors). I'm going to testing how pigmented these blushes are and hopefully not walking out of my house looking like a clown. Watts Up is a beautiful highlighter that I received in Sephora's Birthday perk last year. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a cream highlighter!

Eyes: 
For my eye brows, I will be using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Dark Brown. I did a first impression here and I know I will need to play around with it a whole lot more to get used to it. For eyeshadows, I will be using Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 in The Happy Place that I won at the Promise Phan meet up. For eyeliner, I will be using Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Perversion. I've tried two eyeliners from the line...and so far I do not like their eyeliners at all (I feel like I may be one of the few bloggers in that boat...maybe this one will change my mind). Lastly, Bare Minerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara in Intense Black which I also won at the Promise Phan meet up will be tested out.

Lips:
For my lips, I will be using Bite Nude Luminous Cream Lipstick in Lychee and Musk and OCC Lip Tar Test - Primer, LoveCraft, and Pretty Boy. For those days where I am not wearing much makeup, you can expect me to wear one of the OCC lip tars to kick up my look up a notch. Otherwise, I will be wearing the Bite Lipsticks.

Makeup MAYhem Day 13 - Drugstore Makeup Rotation Week #1

Hello! Today on Makeup MAYhem, I will be doing my first makeup rotation and showing you the products that will be going on rotation this week. For those of you who don't know what makeup rotations are, basically this is a weekly rotation where I choose the makeup products I will use only during that week. Being a hoarder and a shoppaholic, rotating through my makeup will allow me to use products that I haven't used in awhile (and hopefully finish products I don't adore).

Today, my makeup rotation is featuring drugstore products. I'm going back to my roots and going through my collection to figure out what products I either haven't used in awhile or products that I need to finish up.

Face:
For my foundation, I will be using CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Medium Beige (Review). This foundation is my all time favorite for the past year now, I'm close to being finished with it and hopefully by using it actively within the next couple of weeks I will finish. The concealer I will be using is Milani Secret Cover Concealer Cream Stick in Medium. Its no secret I abhor this concealer (check out my concealer collection video here to see why), but I refuse to throw away any product before I finish it up. For color on my face, I will be using Elf Studio Blush in Candid Coral as my blush and Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sundance as my bronzer. Neither of these products I have used much within the past six months or so, so I'm excited to tryout these products again! Lastly, I will be using Elf Essential Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal as my liquid highlight and Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana as my setting powder and powder highlight. I've heard good things about Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana as a setting powder, so I'm really excited to try that out with that use!

Eyes: 
The eyeshadow palette I will be experimenting this week is Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Eyeliner in Universal Looks. This a very good drugstore option to Urban Decay Naked Palettes (especially since its a fraction of the costs. The eyeshadow primer I will be using is my trusty Wet n Wild Fergie Take the Day Eyeshadow Primer (Review) and the eyeshadow base thats going to get a bit of love (after being abandoned for a bit) is Maybelline 24/7 Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. The color tattoo is drying out, so I want to get as much use out of it before I can't use it anymore. For pencil eyeliner, I will using Jordana 12 Hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil in Espresso Last and Rimmel ScandalEYES Kohl Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Nude and using Wet n Wild MegaLiner in Black for liquid liner. Lastly, I will be using L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara and Maybelline MasterShape by Eyestudio Eyebrow Pencil in Deep Brown. I recently received the eyebrow pencil from my friend, Jenny, who is cleaning out her makeup collection and only keeping cruelty free products.

Lips:
For lipsticks, I will be using L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks in Fairest Nude and Vagabond Mauve and Victoria's Secret Color Drama Lipstick in Ignite. Fairest Nude gets a lot of rave, but for some reason or another I haven't used this much since I got it in April. Vagabond Mauve is a discontinued lipstick that I love to death, but has been forgotten with all the new lip products I've gotten recently. Ignite is a warm red that my sister got for me awhile back, I added in Victoria's Secret makeup because they are drugstore price! And lastly, for days where I want to use a glossy product, I will use Elf Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Pink Lemonade.

Face of The Day: Smokey Purple Eye Look for Night of Tokyo 11/9/12

Hello everyone! Today I will be showing you the makeup I did back on Saturday for the dance performance last Saturday for one of the biggest events on campus, Night of Tokyo! Basically, this night showcases Japanese culture and some of the highlights of the night was a fashion show (which I kinda regret not being apart of) and our dance performance. One of these days I will link the dance performance on the blog, but the last two the performances have been blurry :/ 

Face:

CoverGirl and Olay Concealer in Light

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Medium Beige

Elf Studio HD Powder in Translucent

Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sundance

Wet n Wild Bronzing Powder in Reserve Your Cabana

Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush Mellow Wine

Eyes:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder in Dark Brown

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel

Jordana EasyBrow in Taupe

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

Urban Decay Naked 2 (Bootycall, YDK)

Wet n Wild Color Icon in Silent Treatment (Eyelid and Crease)\

Wet n Wild MegaLast Eye Liner in Black

Wet n Wild Take the Day Fergie Eyeshadow Primer

Lips:

Lancome Cream Lipstick in Love It

How To Do The Makeup:

1) I first applied Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation (Review) all over my face. I then used CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Concealer in Light on my undereyes to cover up my undereye circles.
2) Primed my eyelids using the Wet n Wild Take the Day Fergie Eyeshadow Primer (Review).
3) Used Anastasia Beverly Hills' Brow Powder in Dark Brown to fill my eyebrows, used the lighter color to fill the first half of my brow and used the darker color to fill the last half of my eyebrow. I then used Jordana EasyBrow in Taupe to fill in any additional spots in my eyebrow and to create a stronger brow. I then used Anastasia Bevely Hills Clear Brow Gel (Review) to set the brows.
4) Applied Urban Decay YDK from my Naked 2 Palette in the first 2/3rds of my eyelid. I then applied Wet n Wild Silent Treatment 'Eyelid' color in the middle of my eyelid and the Wet n Wild Silent Treatment 'Crease' color on the outer third of my eyelid. I then used Urban Decay Bootycall from the Naked 2 Palette as underneath my browbone as my highlight and used it lightly to blend out the rest of my eyeshadow.
5) I then used Wet n Wild Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana to highlight my face and used Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush in  Mellow Wine as my blush. I bronzed my face using Rimmel Natural Bronzer in SunDance.
6) Lastly, I used Elf Studio HD Powder to set my makeup and applied Lancome Cream Lipstick in Love It on my lips!

For my hair, I curled using the NuMe 19MM Magic Wand (Review).
