Night Out LOTD

So I am absolutely 100% loving this look. I always go dramatic when I am not working (well and I guess even when I am). HOWEVER! I just love the way this look turned out when I just wanted to play at my makeup table for dinner tonight.
I took out my four MAC crushed metals, from the winter collection. They came in the little ornament, sphere type packaging. First of all, let me say I would not reccomend purchasing these as they are so incredibly hard to work with it is almost not worth it. Before this I did my face and set it with a loose powder. This step is crucial, not only are you setting your makeup, but if you have any fallout (which these crushed metals give you) you will be able to easily sweep it away at the end.

I primed with Too Faced's glitter glue because these shadows definitely need something to grab onto. First, I used the brightest color called Pearl on the inner 2/3 of the lid, also the inner corner, and blended to perfection. I took the brown color called Roasted Chestnut and placed some in the crease, not blending just yet. Just in the crease, not extending it out yet. I took the pink color called Rose Light and put it on the outer 1/3 of the eye, then took a sigma blending brush and blended the Roasted Chestnut into the shape I wanted, which was easily done with this pigment like shadow. For the shadows you can use in your collection, just chose a frosty white, frosty light pink and a dark brown with gold glitter.

With liner, I took my favorite Buxom Lashliner in the color Suede, just any dark brown gel liner will do. I liner very close to the lashline, no thick liner for this look and all in the waterline. I used Maybelline the Falsies mascara, about 3 coast, you could apply false lashes if you'd like.
I used Too Faced's Chocolate Soliel bronzer for contour, Tarte's Exposed for blush, and Kat Von D's lipstick in Celebutard with a little bit on chapstick over it to help it not be so drying.
Hope you enjoyed this look and that these steps are helpful to recreate it!

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 6) Mascara, The End!

So when I did this haul I decided to splurge on some things I'd been looking at and these mascaras were one.

 FairyDrops Scandal Queen is $20. I've posted a picture of it's claims. It is a great mascara and I might be willing to repurchase if I had the money. There is good qualities too it, I don't see anything incredibly special to it. It is very good, but again nothing special and I can get just as good looking lashes as I do when I use lashblast.

 

 Benefit's They're Real! $22. I would definitely repurchase this. My lashes look so incredibly long and full. Although I do have naturally, long curly lashes these make them look as though I could be wearing false ones. I couldn't say anything but good things about this mascara! I love love love it.

  Hope you enjoyed all these posts!

Sephora Haul From the V.I.B. Shopping Event (Part 4) Urban Decay Products

Again! Sorry for all the pics, I just wanted to show you the products as best as I could!
I had to try the Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencil Stash after I swatched one of them and it wouldn't come off the whole day one time! haha The package claims these pencils "deliver water-proof, crease free, that lasts" and that they are blendable. All of which I found to be true! I used three of these today for my eye look with no shadow over and it stayed all day.

"Delinquent" is a dark purple with pink glitter

"Clash" is a bright blue with silver glitter.

"Sin" is a light shimmering tan.

"JuJu" is a light shimmering cocoa brown.

"Rehab" is a milk chocolate brown, also shimmery.

Here are the swatches!

These are so lovely, the "stash" was $34, which is slightly pricey, but these products are very high quality.

I also got the Grind House sharpener because the one I have doesn't work for these pencils. (I have NYX ones I've been trying to shove into my old one forever! This one is perfect though.) It was $10, but I think worth it to be able to sharpen a lot of products I haven't been able to for a while. Also it has a catcher so you don't have to hold it over a garbage can, which I love.

I also got a Lip Gloss Junkie in "Crush" which is awesome. So pigmented for a gloss, makes my lips super pink and full. It is plumping, but just feels cool on the lips, not tingling. It was $19, and I bought this after receiving a sample size, so I think it's worth it!

Hope you all enjoyed this!

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!

Sephora Haul from the V.I.B. Shopping Event (Part 2) Kat Von D Products

 I wanted to go into serious detail about the products I got, some people really are unaware of the quality of some products and I'd really like to share how wonderful these products can be!

Let's start with Kat Von D's The Art of Elysium Kimberly palette. ($20) This palette benefits a great cause, The Art of Elysium is a charity Kat works closely with it gives children with serious illnesses a chance to work on art! 10% of the profit from this palette goes to the cause! The motto covering the packaging is "true beauty comes from within" and I love it! Also the artwork on the package is Kat's combined with a girl's named Kimberly who is part of The Art of Elysium. Onto the quality of the palette!

All are highly pigmented shadows. "Believer" is a beautiful sheer shimmery pink. "Shakespeare" is a shimmering mauve. "Rad Purple" is a dark purple with a pink glitter. "Dorian Gray" is a charcoal gray with teal glitter. I love the mirror in the palette, theres no annoying cheap brush to throw away, and there are four gorgeous portable shadows!

Next is the new True Romance: Sinner palette. ($35) Kat's motto is "A smoky eye adds an instant air of mystery." Love it! It comes with a highly pigmented eyeliner pencil in "puro amor", BLACK. Again, there's no useless applicators for me to just toss and it also comes with a sample of High Voltage Eye Primer in Skin.

ALSO very pigmented shadows. Eight all together. "Disco Dust" is a barely there shimmer pink. "Linzy-Jane" a dark shimmering purple, it goes on slightly sheer. "Ace of Spaces" is what seems to be a dark matte purple with purple and blue glitter. "Violator" is a matte gray with blue and purple glitter. "Holy Bible" is an extremely light silver, almost white. "Glock" is a shimmery gray. "Dorian Gray" is a shimmery charcoal with teal glitter. "Lucifer" is a very matter dark black.

Hope you will purchase these products and have found this info useful!
