March 2017 Ipsy Bag Review

I just got my Ipsy bag for this month so I decided to do a little review.  The first thing I got was a first aid beauty face moisturizer which I’m really excited to try because I have crazy dry skin.  Then I got OUAI hair mask which I actually got in my sephora play box last month, but I haven’t used it yet even though I probably need too because my hair is bleached.  Then I got a Pur cosmetics concealer in medium, but its a little too dark for my skin so I’m not sure how much use I’ll get out of it.  I got a Tarte lip paint in delish, I love this formula because it drys really quickly and doesn’t move around at all.  And the most exciting thing for me is the INT cosmetics eyeshadow in goddess gold, it is so pretty.  It is a coppery shimmer shadow and I can’t wait to try it out.

OOTD: Happy Little Tree

I recently had a little ootd photo shoot.  I wore my favorite jean jacket from the Gap that I’ve adorned with a lot of pins and buttons.  I also wore these Bob Ross socks that my mom bought me for christmas with my copper Adidas.  I used winged eyeliner and a neutral lipstick to complete the look.  Enjoy.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review

Before I get into the review I’m gonna tell you a little story.  A couple of days ago I left my house in the morning after doing my makeup to go to the Sharks game with my sister.  I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing, but I shook it off and we left.  We went to eat and I decided to use the bathroom before the game.  While I was waiting for someone to open the door (because it had a handle and there were no paper towels to open it with) I finally realized what was missing, I forgot to put on mascara! Luckily there was a Sephora next to the restaurant so we zipped in and I picked up a mini of urban decay’s perversion mascara for just $10.

Review: I’ve been wanting to try this mascara, but I get so many  mascara samples from beauty boxes and free samples that I’ve never had any need until this moment.  I really like it, it curls, lengthens, and defines my lashes all in one step.  Over all a really nice and sleek product and the size and shape of the packaging is perfect for when you’re on the go.  I’ll be keeping this in my purse just in case I forget it again (which probably won’t happen, but you never know).

Eyeshadow Cateye Tutorial

I’ve been super into doing cateye looks with just eye shadows lately. It’s a lot more forgiving than using a liquid liner and it’s a little more subtle. Overall I love the look of an eyeshadow cateye; here’s how I do it.

I have been using 4 shades from the Kylie Cosmetics holiday kyshadow palette.

Shade 1: sugar cookie, Shade 2: gingerbread, Shade 3: nutcracker, Shade 4: silent night

I put shade 1 under my brow bone as a highlight with a mac 239 shadow brush, then I put shade 2 all over my lid with the same brush.  I put shade 3 in my crease with a sigma E40 blending brush and add shade 4 to the corner of my eye in a staight line up (like you would with eyeliner) with a sigma E70 angled brush and blend it inward

At the end I blend it all with the same sigma blending brush and add a coat of mascara, I hope you enjoyed.

Makeup: The Rock Show

Last Wednesday I went to a Blink-182 concert with my sister.  All the performers were amazing and we had a great time.  I decided to do a simple, but bold make up look that’s perfect for a rock show or a night on the town.  Here’s how I created it.

I started with Laura Mercier foundation primer followed by Urban Decay all nighter foundation, naked skin concealer, and Laura Mercier loose setting powder.  I used the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne collection palette (no longer available)  in the color rose spritz on my cheeks, amaretto for bronzer, and champagne pop for highlighter.  I used benefit goof proof brow pencil for my eyebrows and urban decay eyeshadow primer potion on my eyelids before my eyeshadow.  For eyeshadow I used tarte’s Hrush palette in the shade royal on the inner half of my lid, tartelette tease palette in bff on the outer half of my lid, heartbreaker in my crease, and whisper under my brow bone.  I used tarte lash paint mascara and finished the look off with a Kylie Cosmetics lip kit in the color Dolce K.  I love this make up look and hope you enjoyed it too.
