Would You Rather Tag: Makeup Edition Take 2!

I was tagged by Notorious Beauty Blog ! I did this tag last august but I am going to do it again! Make sure to check out Notorious Beauty Blog she has became one of my favorite beauty blogs! She has great posts, so head on over and check her out! 

Now for the tag! Let's get started!

1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows? 

-I would have to say lose all of my palettes and eyeshadows. At least I can still have a decent face with just mascara, eyeliner, lipsticks and lipglosses lol

2) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

- I would rather never be  able to cut it again. I used to have long hair and then I went on a hair cutting spree when I was in high-school. Now I can't get my hair to grow past my shoulder!

3) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

-Definitely a coral cheek. Coral blush looks better with my skin tone, a lot of pinks are not that flattering on me.

4) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

- I would have to say this is a tough one! I think I am going to say makeup! There are a lot of high end brands that I would love to try but I cannot justify spending that much money for makeup products! Which is why my makeup collection is only drug store (minus my sephora foundation). 

5) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

- I would rather apply eyeliner as a lipstick! I just couldn't imagine applying lipstick as an eyeliner, that would be difficult and would most likely look terrible!

6) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

-Definitely Sephora! I have never tried any MAC products but at least if I could only shop at Sephora I would still have access to many brands unlike at MAC

7) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

- One lip color! I really love to do lots of different eye looks which require way more than one eyeshadow! I could just use a nude lip color as my one color, that way it would match with everything!

8) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

-  This is a tough one because in either situation it's not a fun time! I guess I would chose my winter clothes in the summer since that's only jeans and a hoodie. I couldn't imagine wearing shorts and a tank in the middle of winter! Hello frost bite and hypothermia ! Lol.

9) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

-Bright nails! They are just so much fun!

10) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

-My favorite lip product. I only recently got into lip products so it wouldn't brother me as much to give up my favorite lip product. 

11) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

-Messy bun! They are super cute, plus I don't like the way I look in a ponytail. It does not suite my face. 

12) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

-Never use lipgloss again, I have way too may bottles of nail polish! Plus I really love painting my nails. I am not allowed to have nail polish on my nails for work and it is killing me ! So I know never being able to paint my nails again is not an option!

13) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

- As much as I would suck at it, I would rather sharpie them in everyday. I couldn't imagine walking around with no eyebrows!

14) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish? 

- As much as I love my nail polish I would give it up for my makeup! I couldn't imagine not having any makeup! 

I tag all of you guys!!

Farewell Lip Butter :( !

So in light of the heat we are experiencing I thought this was an appropriate post! Yesterday my mom called to warn me that it was going to get hot and that I should turn the A/C on when it gets too warm in the house. Needless to say I didn't turn it on until it was about 80 degrees in the house! I know, I know. What was I thinking, waiting for it to get that hot! Well last night while I was watching t.v. I decided I should take a look at my lipsticks and make sure none of them were sweating from the heat they had been in. All my lipsticks looked fine, thank goodness! 

The one I was most worried about was my Revlon Lip Butter (in Tutti Frutti) because they melt easily. So I turn up my lip butter to find that it wasn't sweating! YAY! Then it took a turn for the worse. I went to turn the bottom for the lip butter to go down. Well the piece it sits on went down but the lip butter didn't move!!! My mom suggested that I lightly press down on it to set it in place then stick it in the fridge. Well here's what happened when I went to lightly press my lip butter back into place. 

No matter how lightly I pressed it just all bunched up! Trust me it looked worse than this at the end (so bad there was no saving it and it was thrown away). This heat has ruined one of my favorite lippies! Now I must go purchase a new one! Can we say Drug Store shopping trip?!


Stay cool today!

Colors of the Rainbow Tag!

It's been awhile since I've done a tag! I thought this one would be fun to do. It's called the Colors of the Rainbow tag. You go through the colors of the rainbow (ROY G BIV and pink and multicolored are like the bonus colors) and you chose a product that you like or is your favorite that's that color! Easy enough? That's what I thought until I had to chose products! Some of the colors I actually had a hard time with!

So let's get started!

RED

For red I chose my Betsy Johnson heels! I absolutely LOVE these heels! I got them on clearance at JC Penny for around $36 ! On the heel there is a bow and corset detailing. My favorite part of these shoes is that under them it is bright blue with a leopard type design! So pretty, I don't wear them often (since I don't really have anywhere to go in them) but I did wear them on New Years Eve and got lots of compliments! They are about 5 inches in height with a small platform. 

ORANGE

For orange I chose my Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser. This is a great face wash! I use it every morning. I love the smell and it really does wake you up! The bursting beads fell really good on the face in the morning. 

YELLOW

For yellow I chose these flats! The camera does not pick up the color very well but they are actually gold, lol. I couldn't find anything yellow so I cheated and picked something gold. Oops. I got these flats from Goodwill for $8! There is like sequence all over them but it doesn't fall off and get everywhere like you would think it would. I thought these were a fun shoe. 

GREEN

For green I chose my Julie G nail polish in Gelato in Venice. It is a beautiful mint nail polish. Is mint considered green? Well it is now! This color is perfect for spring and summer!

BLUE

For blue I chose my Beyonce perfume in Pulse. I normally do not purchased celebrity perfumes cause I find that they don't really smell that great but I really like this one. It is not fruity (I am not a fan of fruity scents) and it's also not that typical celebrity perfume smell. Beyonce did good when she came out with this one!

INDIGO 

I just could not find anything for indigo :(

VIOLET/PURPLE

Of course I chose my Wet N Wild Megalength mascara! This is my holy grail mascara! It gives great length to my lashes and doesn't clump! I wish they would make a waterproof version!

PINK

I thought this was the perfect product for the color pink! Maybelline Vivids lipstick in Pink Pop! This lipstick is so vibrant and it lasts all day long!

MULTICOLORED

For multicolored I chose my Sephora palette! It's got great colors! From neutrals to bright colors. They are very pigmented and are easy to blend and work with. I especially like the yellow and blues in this palette. 

This tag was actually a little harder than I thought. I couldn't even find anything for indigo! So now it's your turn! 

I tag all my readers!

Now I am going to go make brunch!

Pretty in Purple Eye Tutorial!

LET'S GET STARTED!

Products I used(brushes not pictured):

• Wet N Wild ColorIcon palette in Lust (numbered in order of use)
• e.l.f. eyebrow kit in dark
• Revlon's fabulash mascara (waterpoof)
• Wet n Wild megalength mascara 
• Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Eyeshadow stick/crayon

Tutorial:

• The first thing you want to do is apply the e.l.f eyelid primer all over your eyelids. 
• With an eyeshadow brush take the shadow labeled 1 and apply it to the inner corners. 
• Then take the shadow labeled 2 on an eyeshadow brush. This is going next to the first color. You only want to take this color to about the middle of your eyelid. Remember to blend the two colors so that you do not have an harsh lines!
• Next you want to take the shadow labeled 3 on an eyeshadow brush. You are going to put this on the rest of your eyelid. Make sure to avoid the outer corners. Also make sure to blend it with your previous shadow to avoid harsh lines. 
• You then want to take the shadow labeled 4 with a crease brush. Apply this shadow to the outer corners while working it into the crease as well.
• Do some blending with a blending brush so that everything looks put together. I know I sound like a broken record but BLEND BLEND BLEND!! We do not want any harsh lines!

• Then take the e.l.f. eyebrow kit and fill in and shape your eyebrows.
• Apply one coat of the Wet n Wild megalength mascara, then apply a coat of the Revlon Fabulash mascara. I apply this one second because it is waterproof.
• Feel free to spice it up with some eyeliner!

Voilà! Your all finished

Concealer Hunt!

For the past few months I have been on the hunt for a concealer to use on my under eye circles. In this time I have purchase 3 concealers. Unfortunately they do not seem to be working for me. I am going to share with you the concealers that I purchased and my thoughts about them. 

1. Hard Candy Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette 

• I purchased this concealer palette at Walmart for $8.00. I chose the color "fair" because the colors in the "medium" palette looked like they were going to be way to dark for my skin. This palette comes with 3 skin tone concealers and 3 color correcting concealers: pink, yellow and green. The color I use in this palette is the first skin tone color on the left. The other two are way too light. This is the first time I had ever purchased color correcting concealers. These concealers are creamy and the color I use matches my skin tone pretty well. However the problem arises when I try to conceal my under eye circles. It cakes really bad under my eyes and makes my fine lines even more noticeable. This could either be because it is just not a good concealer for dry skin or I am just not applying it correctly. If you own this concealer palette how do you guys apply this concealer to your under eyes?

2. Hard Candy Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer

• I also purchased the Glamoflauge concealer from Walmart for $6.00. It comes with a concealer pencil. When I was picking my shade I was stuck between "medium" and "tan". I thought that "medium" was going to work for my skin tone but when I got home and tried to apply it, it seemed to be a little too light. I thought that it would be okay considering that my under eye circles are pretty dark so it would help lighten them up but I wasn't able to get this concealer to blend well. I know that the "tan" shade will be way too dark. If they had a color in between "medium" and "tan" it would be perfect! If you own this concealer, how do you apply it under your eyes? I am still working with this one to see if I can get it to work with my skin. 

3. e.l.f. Studio Maximum Coverage Concealer - Oil Free

• I purchased this on www.eyeslipsface.com for $3.00. You get A LOT of product for just $3.00, 0.7 fl oz. I purchased the color "beige" (shown above, picture taken from website). The swatch online was the PERFECT color match for my skin tone, but when it arrived I was pretty disappointed. The color was lighter than it appeared online and when I tried to use it under my eyes it just left a really bad grey cast under my eyes and it did not match my skin tone. Not attractive at all! If it wasn't for the misleading color I believe that this could potentially be a good concealer. With that said I am going to purchase the color "tan" which is the next shade darker. The online swatch looks like it is going to be too dark but if the true color is lighter than the online swatch like "beige" was, the color match should be pretty good. Have any of you guys used this concealer? If so, do you like it? 

These are the concealers that I have tried so far! I am still on the hunt for a good under eye concealers that works well with dry skin! I will keep you all updated on my concealer hunt as I try more concealers!

What are some of your favorite concealers?!

Make-up Madness: Wet n Wild collection!

Let's get started!

Color Icon Palettes 

• From left to right I own: "I Got Good Jeans", "I'm Getting Sunburned", "Silent Treatment", "Spoiled Brat", "Walking on Eggshells", "Cool as a Cucumber" and "Lust". 
• I absolutely love these palettes! They are affordable which is always a plus. Also they are very pigmented! The colors are gorgeous! They are definitely a product to invest in. I use "Walking on Eggshells" everyday! 

Color Icon Blush and Bronzers

• The bronzer I have is in the shade "Goddess" and the blush is in the shade "Mellow Wine". These are also great products. I do find that I need to have a light hand with these products because they are EXTREMELY pigmented. If I am not careful with the bronzer it will look like I smeared mud all over my cheeks. LOL!

Color Icon pencil liners and Mega Liner

• For about a dollar these pencil liners are worth it. There is a good choice of colors. I use the white liner in my water line a lot. They are creamy so you can put them in your water line with no problems. As for the mega liner, I wish I would have gotten the waterproof one because this one smudges and runs really badly. I look like a raccoon when I wear it. 

Megalength Mascara 

• This is my everyday mascara! I love it. It really gives your lashes a lot of length and separates them. It does not clump my lashes or flake throughout the day. The only down fall about this product is that it is not water proof and as far as I know there is not a water proof version (please correct me if I am wrong!). Definitely recommend this mascara !

Megalast Matte Lipsticks 

• From left to right I own: 901b-Think Pink, 902c-Bare it all, 903c-Just Peachy, 907c-Mauve outta here, 916d-Ravin' Raisin and 919b-Vamp it up. 
• These are my FAVORITE lipsticks! Super pigmented and I love that they are matte! They pretty much stay on all day! My two favorite colors are Think pink and Bare it all. Bare it all is my everyday nude lipstick. It looks great with my skin tone and it is my perfect nude. Below are some swatches of the lip sticks.

Make-Up Madness: e.l.f. Studio Collection!

Let's Jump Right In!
(Note: All products were $3 unless otherwise stated)

*Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Palette*

• This palette costs $10 and you get 100 shadows! It's definitely a good deal! I really love this palette, there is a great range of colors. The only problem I have with the palette is mainly the first row of shadows and the last 2 rows of shadows. Now matter how hard you try and get the color to come up it just doesn't show up whatsoever. Even the black doesn't work. With that said I still think its a good deal because you do get a lot of shadows and in my case I own so many blacks and grays it doesn't matter that that row doesn't work. 

*Natural eye palette*

• This was part of a set that I purchased at Target for around $5. This palette is great for your neutral color needs, and is perfect for creating neutral looks. Great size for travel and I use this very often. 

*Eyebrow kit*

• I have this kit in dark. I use it everyday to fill in and shape my brows. The powder shade is a little on the light side for my brows but paired with the gel you can't even tell! If you are looking for an affordable brow kit I definitely recommend this one. 

*Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder*

• I purchased this before they came out with the other shades they now carry. So mine doesn't have a shade on the sticker, however I went online to see which one it is. Looks like it is the shade "St. Lucia". I love this blush!! I wear it everyday, it is definitely my go to blush. It has some shimmer in it but not so much that it's unflattering. However, I really dislike the bronzer. I do not like that there is shimmer in it and it is just WAY too dark. It looks like I tried to contour with mud. I think this duo is definitely worth it for the blush. 

*Tone correcting powder*

•  I also purchased this before they came out with the other shades. So I went on their site to figured out which shade it is and it is "cool". I must say I am not entirely impressed with the product as for the tone correcting. I got it to help with the redness from my eczema and it didn't really do anything at all. Part of that could be at fault of the eczema. I wouldn't buy it again, it just wasn't working with my skin. 

*Body Shimmer*

• This is in the shade "blazing bronze. It was a product that came in my free $20 mystery bag. This is a promotion that they have often, spend $25 and get a mystery bag with $20 worth of free product. Personally I do not care for it. The website states that you can use it on your cheeks, lips or eyes. I do not have any use for this product. It's way to dark to be a bronzer and the amount of shimmer is not appealing. I am glad I did not spend my money on it.

*Cream Eyeliner and Waterproof Eyeliner Crayon*

• I really like both of these products. I have the cream eyeliner in black and I have the waterproof eyeliner crayons in navy and gunmetal. The cream liner stays on all day and I do not have a problem with is smudging or running. The only problem I have with the waterproof eyeliner crayon is that they do not seem to work in the waterline. 

*Glitter Gloss*

• I have the shade Golden Glitz. I really love the color but I dislike this product. It is SO sticky! It just feels nasty on the lips. I will not be purchasing any more glitter glosses

* Lip Primer and Plumper*

• I do not use the plumper side so I cannot give my opinion on it. I really like the primer side though. I use it whenever I am wearing bright colors. It works great in filling in lines and I find that the colors look better with the primer under. 

* Lip Lock Pencil*

• I LOVE this. It really does lock your lipstick in place and keep it there all day long! This is a great product and worth investing in!

April Favorites!

I don't really keep up with monthly favorites posts because I don't always have favorite products every month. However this month I found myself consistently using some products so I figured it was the perfect time for a favorites post!

Let's get started!

1. Bath and Body Works Paris Amour Fine Fragrance Mist

• This mist was my moms and she didn't really like it anymore. She gave me this and the body lotion at the beginning of April. I have used this spray everyday since she gave it to me. It smells really good and I have definitely made a dent in the bottle. I will be purchasing some more of the products with the scent!

2. Wet n Wild Coloricon trio in "Walking on Eggshells"

• I use the eyelid color from this trio everyday! I've hit pan recently as you can see and I am most likely going to repurchase the trio just for that color. It's a great neutral color. I occasionally use the the crease color with it if I am feeling up to doing a full eye look that morning. LOL. 

3. e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder

• I purchased this before they came out with the other shades they now carry. So mine doesn't have a shade on the sticker, however I went online to see which one it is. Looks like it is the shade "St. Lucia". I love this blush!! I wear it everyday, it is definitely my go to blush. It has some shimmer in it but not so much that it's unflattering. 

4. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

• Lately I find myself reaching for this instead of my foundation. I use the shade "Medium Sheer Tint". This is great especially on the warmer days when you don't want a bunch of make-up on your face. This matches my skin tone pretty well. It doesn't break my face out or irritate my eczema which is a plus! 

5. EOS Lip Balm

• These lip balms are my absolute favorite! This one is in "sweet mint". I love this one! It smells and tastes like Olive Garden mints! I purchase this lip balm every time I run out!

What products were you loving in the month of April?
