Dramatic Navy Look

 

Hey everyone!! I actually went out for a Sunday afternoon with this look. I know it's quite dramatic, but I got quite a few compliments!!

The first think I did was take care of my inner corner. I wanted to go light since I have dark circles and I tend to look much darker the more I use dark colors. I used a matte color close to my skin color from my Sigma Bare palette.

The next thing I used was one of the new L'Oreal Infallible eye shadow. It is a navy blue color with a royal blue glitter/shimmer. I shaped an almost winged type of look. and brought it almost all the way into the eye, leaving about a quarter of the light color.

After finishing my base, I put a little bit of Too Faced's glitter glue over the middle of the eye. I used a royal blue Bare Escentuals eyeshadow/pigment and patted it on the middle. This pop of blue really brought the look to whole other level.

I took it easy on the cheeks and lips. I used Too Faced's Chocolate Soliel Bronzer and Candlelight highlight. I used Tarte's Amazonian clay blush in exposed.

For my lips I used a Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait.

EOTD Adele Cosmo Cover November 2011

I loved the makeup look Adele had on the Cosmo cover! She looked sooooo gorgeous!!

On the lid I used a really peachy color, and in the crease I used a darker golden peach color. I will not specify the colors because I believe they are just not available anymore. I uses a liquid liner and winged it out very thinly (Adele has large round eyes, this elongates the eye.) I must stress to not put anything on the lower lashline! There is absolutely nothing on her lower lashline, not even a bit of mascara!

 I used Shadow Insurance on my lids, and I forget the color on my lips but the Revlon Creme Brulee lip butter would look fantastic!
I hope you all enjoy this look!

Sephora Haul from the V.I.B. Shopping Event (Part 3) Too Faced Products

First off! I know there are a lot of pictures. haha I am just trying to give a thorough overview of the products in case you want to buy them.
I want to start with the Glamour To Go Dream edition. It is such a fun unique product. You truly could take your foundation a few brushes and this and be great to travel. It doesn't come with any applicators, but uniquely a beautiful blush, bronzer and gloss. It is so small you can carry it around in your purse for travel.

 

There are no names for these shadows so I'm going to start in the top left hand corner and move right. First there is a shimmering pink with matching glitter, next a light pink tan infused with small white glitter, then a matte brown and finally a shimmering light copper pink, reminiscent of rose gold. Next I will start in the bottom left hand corner and move right again. It starts with a shimmering gun metal gray, next a matte black with gold shimmer (very unique!), then a matte bright purple with blue shimmer/overtone, then a gray purple with light purple shimmer. You can also utilize the darker shades as makeshift liners!

The blush is a gorgeous pink/peach shimmer, the gloss is bright pink, and the bronzer is a light golden/brown.

This is $22 and I think very worth it, whether you use it for travel or not, the shadows are unique and beautiful and I love this lil palette!

Next I got the Lip of Luxury Champagne Essence lipstick in Drop Dead Red. It was $20 and worth every penny. It is the perfect red for my skin tone, it is on the darker side so not everyone can pull it off, I recommend trying in the store with a fresh applicator.

I am not a fan of the smell, but this one, compared to other Too Faced lipsticks I have is a bit less drying. I feel this is because it has no glitter or shimmer in it, as the others I own do.
I highly recommend both products to any Too Faced lovers!

Tan Matte Eye using The Too Faced "Matte Eye" Palette

First of all let my start off by commenting on how much I love Too Faced products, they are amazing and just have breathtaking payoff.
On to the look! As I said I created this using the "Matte Eye" palette from Too Faced. IT IS GORGEOUS and I love it. Go buy it now. haha I love how these palettes give you three colors that are supposed to create a look, great for those who would be not sure how to use the shades, especially when it comes with how to cards as well!
I didn't use the how to card, I usually like to ignore those unless I run out of my own ways to use the shades. So I took the middle shade "Chinchilla" and used it all over my lid and the lightest shade "Tufted Suede"under my brow and to blend out the darkest color. I used the darkest shade "Coffee Bean" to my crease and blend blend blended. Matte colors have a huge payoff but can be hard to really blend these were surprisingly easy (still tuff, but easier than the normal matte color.) I did something unusual and did not bring "Coffee Bean" around the eye, I just left it in the crease and I really liked how it turned out. I believe I used my Buxom lashliner in suede along the upper and lower lashline and Adora lipstick by Kat Von D.
